S6 Edge Stuck In Red Verizon Screen

Problem: Hello, I must have fallen asleep last night while watching Twitch.tv on my phone. When I woke up in the morning, my phone was off (presumably lost battery from falling asleep with the Twitch.tv app open). So I went to plug it into the charger. When I came back to the phone it had charged to about 50%. I decided to try to turn the phone on (while still plugged into the charger). The phone got stuck at the red Verizon screen with a flashing blue light. It stayed this way for over 10 minutes so I did the volume down + power button method to shut the phone off. This got the red Verizon screen off the screen, so the screen was now black, but the LED light was still flashing blue. I tried to turn the phone on again and it once again got stuck at the red verizon screen with the blue flashing light. I tried to boot the phone into safe mode without 3rd party applications, and also tried to simply restart the phone, but nothing worked. I also tried to do the volume up + volume down + power + home button method and it just brought me to the same verizon red screen. Right now, I have my phone plugged into the charger and the blue LED light is no longer blinking (the red light is on to indicate charging). I’m not sure what to do now. Please help!

Solution: What you should do right now is to start the phone in recovery mode and from here perform the two steps listed below.

Wipe the cache partition of the phone.
Perform a factory reset. Take note that this will erase your phone data.

If the above steps fails to fix the problem then it’s very likely that this is already a hardware related issue. The best thing that you can do right now in this particular case is to bring the phone to a service center and have it checked.
