HELP...Tab S6 reboot loop, won't respond! - Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers

I powered off my tab, last night, when I charged. Today, tried to start, but it never comes up; just does reboot loop. Tried to push the power and up/down volume methods. Tablet won't even shutdown. It's not been altered, from stock tab and is no longer under warranty.
HELP!

Curious if you ever found a solution?
I'm current in the same state after trying an install today and so far my only option appears to be to just let the battery run down and see if I can get it sorted out in a couple of days.

My solution was to have sent in for repair. Fortunately, I'd purchased a extended warranty, which covered the cost. Good luck!

Am I correct in guessing that you haven't contacted samsung yet? If not, give it a try.

If I get it correctly, you can't obtain the receipt because you received it as a gift. Ok. What about the person who bought it? He/she must have the receipt. Just ask it.

Sony Tablet S - Stuck on Boot

Hey guys,
I am currently having an issue where my S1 gets stuck on the boot up screen. It seems to freeze on the "Sony" text before it gets to the boot animation and just stays there until I long press the power button to turn off. I tried the reset function first to no avail. Then I let the battery completely drain and recharge before I turned it back on and it still gets stuck in the same place. I have not rooted or done anything to it but download a few apps and a launcher. Two things I would like to avoid is doing a factory reset but more importantly avoid dealing with Sony and their warranty. Any help you all could provide would be appreciated!
Unfortunately you have only this two choices ...
Factory reset or Sony (dealer) warranty ...

I was having wifi issues after rooting and did a factory reset solving my problem. If you don’t have that many apps on your tab I'm pretty sure it will fix your problem. Since you haven't rooted your devise then you should be fine calling Sony tech support if the factory reset doesn’t fix the boot loop.
Thanks for your responses. I spent a lot of time setting up my home pages as hubs so this sucks!
Next question, does anyone know how to perform factory reset without booting up the device? I performed one when I first received it but went through the Settings. Since I cant get past the boot screen, I obviously cant do it that way.
factory data reset
with the tablet off you need to press and hold the volume + button and then press and hold the power button. keep holding both buttons and when you see the sony logo release the power button only. once you get the android system recovery mode you release the volume button and use the volume + and - to navigate the menu and quickly press the power button to make a selection. before you do the reset try this: access the recovery mode and select restart and cancel, your tablet might boot normally.

If you are unable to enter stock recovery I would think you will probably have to contact Sony. Even if you have adb I don’t think you would be able to do anything because your devise is not rooted. Someone correct if I am wrong.
I believe you are right.
I was unable to get the tablet into recovery using the method stated above. I get to the Sony screen (as always) but when I release the volume button the tablet turns off. Now I have to deal with Sony. Crap! What are the chances they replace it under warranty when I bought it off ebay?

Call them and play dumb. Tell them that you received it as a gift and you weren’t sure where it was purchased from. It’s worth a shot.

My Solution
I just had this problem, what I did was..
when on the Sony logo I took out my SD card>unplugged power>did a hard reboot>waited about 30sec>then powered the tablet on and it booted normally.
I hope this was somewhat helpful
My Tablet have the same issues. It goes to Sony Service Center. I think is a shame for Sony, because the tablet is 8 months old. That is not quality.

Help Needed - Galaxy S3 Not Switching On

Hi - I'm using a Galaxy S3 right now and it's not powering on at all. Battery is guaranteed not empty as it has been on charge all morning. It's rooted and running SuperNexus - I9300 - BUILD 4.
I can't even get into download mode - tried powering on with volume keys held up and/or down along with home key and power key but no luck
I've called Samsung and they will take it away for warranty repair but my worry is if they know it's rooted - will they refuse to fix it?
I'm clutching at straws but has anyone got any other suggestions I could try?
I imagine you already tried this, but when it happened to me last, I simply took the battery out for a few and put it back in, then it fired up. Has only happened to me once though.

yeh it's been out for a few minutes. Maybe i should try it for a little while longer.
One thing I forgot to mention is that sometimes I would pick up the phone to look at something and the screen would be blank but the soft keys would be lit up. The only way to get the screen back was to keep the power button pressed down for 10 seconds or so so that it switched off and then back on.
This is what happened this time - but only this time it's refusing to come back on

There's a known issue with some devices having problems with this in here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1993044
But if your device was starting to have problems before... maybe it wasn't related to motherboard but something else, maybe even software related... But still, if the device is not powering at ALL you should be good with samsung, as they will just replace the motherboard and thats all (at least some ppl had it repaired even rooted and with CM installed on the thread I linked above.
Good luck and share your adventure with the SAT (if you finally send it there) on the other post
If your in the eu then rooting your phone won't affect the warranty. It's been confirmed a few times in the thread posted above. It sounds to me like another mother board failure.

[Q] Anyone else had to soft reset their device?

So this is probably the 3rd thread I've made for this device.
After returning my first Z2, I got this one a few (maybe 4 to 5) days ago and now I'm having issues with it. First time, the screen froze at my lock screen pattern entry; no response whatsoever but the LED light was blinking as I had a notification. I had to hold volume up + power button to soft reset. In the same day (today) I've just had to reset it again for the second time but this time, the power button would not wake the screen! No matter what I clicked, it would not work so I had to press volume up + power again till it vibrated 3 times and reset. I'll be going back to return the phone tomorrow and getting my third Z2! Anyone else having issues or anyone have any ideas as to why it's/what is happening?
Thanks in advance for any responses
EDIT: Are there any built in logs I can have a look at or anything of that sort to determine what went wrong?

Is your phone bone stock at the moment? (locked BL, no root, stock rom, stock kernel)
I had the issue initially - the phone wouldn't wake up a couple of times a day and I'd have to soft reset. But I was rooted with a custom kernel, etc. and learning to use the tools for Sony phones (coming from Samsung phones). But now it's perfectly stable. In my case, I suspect it was a combination of how I was flashing things,etc.
Otherwise, completely stock, i don't recall the phone freezing. Have you done a complete wipe and repair via SUS or PC Companion?

Hey, yeah the phone is pure stock. I've not messed around with the software nor downloaded anything I shouldn't have. I've not done a complete wipe and repair but I'm thinking about factory resetting. Obviously this is not a hardware issue but I don't want to have to keep resetting my phone twice a day because that is stupid. Hopefully it was a one off and I guess I'm not too bothered but I may go in store tomorrow and just see if they will replace it. Silly reason to do so, I know, but I guess I'm within my rights if the phone isn't working properly. What do you think?

I only bought it a few days ago and manufacturer's warranty is 12 months here I think I'll keep it and see if a firmware update helps because it is perfect hardware wise and I won't be happy if they give me a new one and it has gaps etc. Would you happen to know if the new update helps with the camera/overheating issue?

Ah man. In a way I'm glad to see I'm not alone at least! For some reason mine is mostly random but I've kind of noticed it happens after I pull the charger out. Have you tried to go in and exchange it? If it's the camera causing it, it seems easily reproducible.
@shaf46
Hey Shaf, sorry to bother you mate. I just don't understand what is wrong with this phone! My estimated time on with stamina mode is down to 1 day a few hours again. It is a brand new phone I only got it yesterday. Is it the way I am charging it or is it just buggy software? I don't have any apps I don't need and even tap to wake is off. The battery works normally I guess although it is draining a bit fast (5% in 20 minutes while using it) but I don't understand what could be causing this to happen!

It's happened to me once where the phone wouldn't switch on after sleeping, turned on after about 2mins, but only when I received my magnetic charger and started charging with it. Not sure if the magnetic charger is the problem since I only had that problem once and never happened since.
Are you charging it with a magnetic charger?

Did you manage to sort it out? No I'm using the standard charger provided but after charging it last night, the estimation of battery time in stamina mode has come down significantly. The estimation assumes stamina mode is not on but it is turned on in my notification bar. This time yesterday the estimate was at ~5 days.

6P is Dead after 2 Months

Well, I maybe should have listened. So I had just flashed a ROM on my 6P, set a few things up, it was charged 98%, I downloaded an app, checked an e-mail, then walked away. Then after 30 minutes I went to the phone to check e-mail, and it was dead. I mean, wouldn't boot in any way complete black screen. Hooked up to computer, nothing. No buttons will boot the device.
So ridiculous....a $500 paper weight. Now I have to find a decent Verizon phone with good development to buy.
Well, had fun for 2 months!
Bye Nexus 6P forums!
OK - I held volume down button and power button for almost 3 minutes and it finally booted. This never happened before. Scary, but if this happens to you take note! :silly:
So my phone is unusable and I have to find a new Verizon phone that has good development. Good luck to me - guess I'll have to sacrifice my unlimited data I've had for many years for a phone with a new carrier so I can root it with good development. I hate Verizon.

Unusable how? You just said it booted.
Is your bootloader unlocked? Can you get into bootloader mode? If so, you could try flashing a factory image.
Don't give up so quickly. Your issues might be related to the ROM or something else you installed.
Jeez... Jump to conclusions much? Can we get more info please?

I almost want to say just send it to me because I could almost guarantee I could help get it booted. If when you plug it in to your computer does the computer recognise it at all? Edl mode? Can you enter bootloader or anything?
Since your 6P is only 2 months old, why not use the warranty?

Thanks guys. I was able to revive it again and flashed a different ROM. It would not boot in any way - plugged into my computer, bootloader mode, nothing. Then it went into a bootloop. Finally I got it to boot and flashed an older ROM after transferring the appropriate vendor image to internal from my computer. I'm nervous it will happen again. I will switch to a new ROM now and hopefully won't see this happen again. Very frustrating evening.

i know this is a old post but do you by any chance remember how you got it to boot again. I am having the same problem and after shutdown i was able to turn it on one time by pressing the power button for 30 sec but now it's dead again and wont turn on after long power button press.

Have you tried volume down and power? Hold it for up to a few minutes...

did that too. But nothing seems to work.It doesn't even get noticed by pc.
Would you recommend a battery swap.
I remember freaking out when that happened to me. My 6P was dead for like 20 minutes. I kept plugging it in, holding power and volume, etc. I got so mad I banged it against something and created a small dent near the power button, which I lived with for the rest of the year until I bought my OP5T.
Hope you were able to fix it. I kept trying and trying to resuscitate it and finally it booted. :good:
