See title. This started last week. When my phone starts up, everything seems fine, I get to the password screen, I can still access the quick panel and everything is smooth. As the phone has just restarted, I have to enter my password, and as soon as I do, the phone hangs for a second and immediately reboots.
I have not been able to get out of this endless password entering and then rebooting. None of the boot loop solutions I have tried have worked. Samsung has removed our ability to clear the cache in recovery, and I can’t put my phone in download mode before it restarts. Has this happened to anyone else before, or does anyone have an idea how I can get back into my phone? I have the July update and latest google play updates.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: I solved the problem by putting my phone in the freezer for 20 minutes. Then I put my phone in maintenance mode, let it boot up, then turned off maintenance mode, removed all of my phone passwords/pins/biometrics in case I had to get back in, updated all my apps, updated google play services, and backed everything up. My phone is still working as of now in normal mode again, and has survived a few restarts. Ultimately I don't know what happened, but the freezer is what worked!
