Android stuck in boot mode

If your Samsung Galaxy S02 is stuck in boot mode, there are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
  1. Restart the device: Try restarting the device by holding the power button for a few seconds and selecting "Restart." This may resolve the issue if the device was simply stuck in boot mode due to a temporary glitch.
  2. Boot into Safe Mode: If restarting the device does not resolve the issue, try booting into Safe Mode. To do this, turn off the device and then press and hold the power button until the Samsung logo appears. Then, release the power button and immediately press and hold the volume down button until the device finishes restarting. If the device boots into Safe Mode successfully, it may indicate that a third-party app is causing the problem.
  3. Wipe the cache partition: Another option is to try wiping the cache partition. To do this, turn off the device and then press and hold the power button, volume up button, and home button until the Android system recovery screen appears. Use the volume buttons to navigate to "Wipe cache partition" and then press the power button to select it. Wait for the process to complete and then reboot the device.
  4. Factory reset the device: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you may need to factory reset the device. This will erase all of your data, so be sure to back up any important files before proceeding. To factory reset the device, follow the steps above to boot into Android system recovery and then select "Factory reset" and follow the prompts to complete the process.
If you have tried these steps and the device is still stuck in boot mode, it may be necessary to seek professional help or contact Samsung customer support for further assistance.

Hello guys, I have a fast booting loop problem

A boot loop is a common issue that can occur on a computer or mobile device where the device continuously restarts or "loops" through the boot process without fully starting up.
Here are some possible solutions for a boot loop problem:
  1. Restart the device: Try restarting the device by holding down the power button for a few seconds until the device turns off, then turn it back on again.
  2. Boot into safe mode: Try booting the device into safe mode. This is a troubleshooting mode that allows you to access the device with limited functionality.
  3. Clear the cache partition: Some devices have a separate cache partition that can be cleared to fix boot loop issues. You can do this by booting into recovery mode and using the appropriate option to clear the cache partition.
  4. Factory reset: If none of the above steps work, you can try factory resetting the device. This will erase all personal data and settings, so make sure to back up any important data before proceeding.
  5. Check for hardware issues: If none of the above steps work, there may be a hardware issue causing the boot loop problem. You may need to take the device to a professional for repair.
It's important to note that the steps may vary depending on the device's model, firmware version, and the region. It's best to check the manufacturer's manual or online guide for specific instructions.

Unlocking problem

The easiest way to unlock your Android smartphone now is to completely reset it. Doing so will erase all your settings and files that are not stored on the memory card.

Depending on the model and maker of your smartphone (Samsung, HTC, LG etc.) the procedure might be slightly different but the idea is to enter tAndroid Recovery Mode and wipe all data + cache.

For example, to enter Recovery Mode on Samsung Galaxy S2 you need to:
1. Turn off the phone
2. Press Volume Up + Power button until it starts (here is the key difference. The keys needed to be pressed are different. Search on google for [SMARTPHONE_NAME] recovery menu ex: HTC Desire HD recovery menu, Samsung Galaxy S3 recovery menu, etc) 3. The Recovery Mode should show up in some seconds
4. Using the volume keys, select Wipe Data / Factory Reset and press menu or power to select.
5. Select "yes" using the same navigation as from step 4.
6. After resetting, it will return to main recovery screen. Do the same for cache partition
7. After cache partition reset is done, select Reboot
8. Phone reboots and now you'll have to set everything up again, but at least the password is removed.

LG optimus Titanium P509

A couple options. Haven't tried so you'll have to see if they work.
Try booting into recovery mode and clearing the cache:
1. With the phone turned off, hold the Power and Volume Down button for several seconds until the device turns on
2. Select recovery mode using the volume buttons
3. Clear cache.

You may have to do a hard reset, however:
WARNING: All of your data will be lost!
1. Remove your SD card
2. With the phone turned off, hold the Home and Volume Down button and keep pressing them, then
3. Press and hold the Power button too until the device turns on
4. With VOLUME buttons select wipe data / factory reset
5. Confirm with Menu? key.
