  1. <strong>Restart to Safe Mode.</strong>

    Some apps may cause boot errors in some Samsung devices. If your Samsung phone or tablet refused to load or boot up after you’ve added an app, uninstalling it may help. However, if you haven’t added any app prior to noticing the problem, an already installed one may be to blame. You can still check if one of your third party apps is causing your device to stop powering up completely by rebooting to safe mode.Like safe mode in Windows computers, Android safe mode is used as a tool to check if a third party application is interfering with the operating system or other apps. When your Samsung Galaxy runs on safe mode, only the preinstalled ones, the apps that originally came with the operating system, are allowed to run. If your phone works normally, meaning it boots up fine, on safe mode only, there’s definitely a third party app problem. Learn how to use safe mode to check for bad third party app or malware in this post. safe mode window 4

  2. <strong>Wipe device with Master Reset (Factory Reset).</strong>

    In case your phone won’t restart to safe mode at all, or if nothing happens when safe mode is activated, you have no other option except to perform a hard reset or master reset. There are two ways to do a factory reset, one is via Settings and the other is by using hardware button combination or Recovery Mode.Since you are not able to access the Settings menu at all if your Samsung won’t boot up, the only way for you to factory reset is via Recovery Mode. Learn how to perform a master reset or factory reset in this post. factory reset in progress 1
