Since you can get into recovery, try wiping cache.

I have the same issue. Impossible how there are no Google hits on this!!
BTW: cache wipe did not help. I had to wipe user data.
for those who don't know how, search google for "recovery wipe user data"
Also, I found on the net that deleting "accounts.db" and clearing GMail data solved the bootloop. Obviously, this isn't something normal users can be expected to do (has to done via ADB), maybe this helps you solve the issue.
Well,i sent to warranty,as long as i have this;probably,i will lost all my data on it,because i didnt backup ,as long as i keep it stock.Thanks for help anyway.

i've got a galaxy tab, no custom roms, not even rooted and i can't reset it. when i go to Privacy-->factory reset, it will boot into the boot menu, and i do the data and cache wipe from there, then it will only reset the homescreen. my accounts and data stays on the device. i've seen the problem once online, but can't seem to find anymore topics on it. does anyone know how to fix this problem?

I'm having the same exact problem. I can't seem to find a way around it, and I suppose I will have to send it in if I don't want to go into ODIN and deal with it that way.
Same issue
I'm having the same issue.
It does not matter how I do it the result is the same.
The 3G information is wiped out, all the applications are messed up, but my Gmail account, Facebook and accounts are still there. If I manually remove all the accounts using account manager, when I reboot the tab, they're all back!
I've tried:
Menu > Settings > Privacy > facotry reset
and I've tried holding down the Volume Up button while booting and selecting facotry reset and clear cache. No good...
At this point I'm being sent a new Tablet, but I really want my personal information cleared before I send it back. How can I "jack" it up? I've looked for a Verizon ROM to see if I can put that back on using the SD card, hoping that would wipe it, but can't seem to find one. Or any CDMA Rom that might wipe everything out.
After I had this issue I even installed z4Root and rooted teh phone, hopeing to use an App that remote wipes, but the results were the same and NOW the SuperUser force closes everytime I try to open it. In fact, almost all the apps seem to force close when starting them EXCEPT market and Gmail.
Help!
--- update----
Changed my passwords on Gmail, Facebook and Twitter. After about 30 minutes the tablet finally stopped displaying my information and started prompting for passwords.
This is an old thread but I'm having the same problem with my Sprint Galaxy Tab. Factory resetting through recovery mode, settings, flashing a new rom, etc don't work and pretty much every app crashes as soon as the tab boots.
Anything I can do before sending it in?
Anyone else facing this problem? I did have two google account in my tab. I would like to remove one of it which I dont use anymore. BUT the system request me to factory reset if I want to remove the account.
BUT the problem is, i'm afraid if I reset, others problem will come later.
I always heard people taking "Don't fixed it if its aint broken". LOL
So, over my curiosity to see either this "unable to remove account" is a common problem which involve my tab also or not?
Curiosity kill the cat!!
haha..so afraid now...
same issue

hello all,
i know that this thread is very old. but i faced this problem now, i want to know if flashing the stock ROM will solve this problem or the only option is to change the motherboard. As my tab is out of warranty and this will cost me a lot to get motherboard changed
thanks in advance.

Hi guys,
Im new here and I wanted to post this in the FEAR developement thread, but for some reason I cant, anyway
Im on FEAR 8.0 and it has been running smothly. Today somehow my whatsapp, facebook etc always was forced to shut down when I tried to open it. So I rebooted an now Im stuck on the LG screen. Sometimes it freezes there, sometimes it reboots to the LG screen again!
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Well, seems that the system (Android) has crashed on your phone due to some unknown reason.
The only thing you can do is to do a factory reset (from ClockwordMod Recovery which I assume you have installed).
Yes I think I have it installed, but how does that help me if I cant access the phone anymore? Is there a manual for the reset process?
Is there no way to get the data off the phone, because that would suck big time
Go back to stock rom, search my thread to see how!
At the moment the ROM is not really my concern!
The only concern is my data!
I need a way to get it
Update:
Installed FEAR 10 without full wipe and everything is still there and running
Hi,
I purchased a new sony xperia sp a few days ago and was trying to configure it for my preferences.. basically installed a talking notifications girl app from google store...
However something went wrong it seems and now the screen is locked and I just can't open it.. whatever action I do- swiping to unlock or any other thing.. that app just says that loudly with no actual response and activity on the screen.
I tried to reset the phone by opening the cover .. but no success...
then I tried to boot into safe mode holding volume keys - though booted into safe mode but it was doing same thing again.. just talking back my actions without actual response..
I am at my wit's end.. anyone can help please?
The android version is 4.1 and I hadn't updated it to recent version and the phone software was also orignal .. phone hasn't been rooted.
Kindly help,
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Gstech
resolved.
okay.. was the post not relevant to the forum since there were so many views but no reply?..
anyway..I got to learn few things from the problem.. got it resolved now..
resetting from back and safe mode didn't work..neither pressing the power key and volume key for hard reset.
thanks to google for relevant links and info
this is what resolved the issue.. anyone who faces such issue in future...
1. connected the phone to computer via usb cable. sony pc companion detected it and recommended to update.
2. updated the software to version 4.3 .. took a long time just to download the update.
3. follow the instruction given on screen to update. takes a while to update..
4. However even after update the offending app was still not letting me do anything..
5. once you have updated, there is an option to repair the phone .. select it and PC companion will warn that all existing data will be lost .. proceed and then let the phone repair process complete. This is what finally resolved the issue but all my earlier apps and settings were lost but I got the phone in usable state at least.
Hope this helps anyone having same issue.
issue resolved.
Hey guys n girls,
Basically my S3 doesn't sleep anymore the screen stays on 24/7? I can't lock the screen using the power button and it doesn't even lock it's self? Even timed lock doesn't work it just stays lit all the time. It's really annoying when I need to sleep at night too plus it chews the battery and will run out before morning so I have to put it on charge when it doesn't need to be charging.
I've wiped and done a factory reset and it does nothing to fix the issue. I've reinstalled fresh both 4.4.4 and 4.4.2 and both still have this issue? I'm about to flash back to 4.3 or even 4.1.2 if I have to.
Yes I've checked the file inside /efs/imei and it has the text "No" which I believe has been the fix for most other people with similar issues? However one striking difference between my issue and most others I've read on XDA from various Samsung devices is this: I still have access to my power menu and my phone doesn't look to be in safe mode?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Sent from my chalk and slate
I think is a hardware related issues. Have you tried taken the battery out? This probably won't do a thing but would not hurt to do so.
Also update your software using KIES just reset using it too.
Hope it helps...
Cheers bud. I have been around here for quite sometime now (no spring n00b is what I am saying) but cheers for your response.
For anyone suffering the same fate....I couldn't find a solution so I pretty much did:
1).a nandroid backup;
2).then titanium backup (just incase and for when I restore later on);
3).I then wiped via recovery;
4).then flashed 4.1.1 stock via Odin;
5).flashed recovery via Odin;
6).rebooted into stock ROM; checked that I DID in fact have lock lock via power button (which I did - as I thought);
7).flashed 4.4.2 via CWM zip in recovery;
8).signed into accounts (*unchecked restore data* THIS IS A BIG MUST! If you are new here make sure that no old data is interferring Google sets the checkbox to restore previous data by default - NOTE: Put your phone into airplane mode ASAP after first boot and signing into your Google account, uncheck sync which is ALSO set by default, then uncheck restore application data).
9).restored via titanium backup (only restored the absolute necessary i.e. text messages, calls and contacts);
10).Go through the tiresome restoration process via Titanium backup (invest in Pro if you have to - it's certainly worth while!)
Now enjoying fresh working firmware with power button locking the lock screen as it should. Have no idea what caused it and I guess I will never know? All I know is that it wasn't the usual suspects when it came to my issue (it never is actually)
TL : DR - My phone won't boot because of low disk space, how can I free up memory?
Greetings,
Project FI purchased Moto X4 running BONE STOCK and absolutely ZERO CUSTOMIZATION. If I can get access to my pics taken via the camera I'm ok with wiping the phone and starting over. Screenshots folder access would be cool too but not life necessary... Wait there has to be a way to make a dump of all this data somehow, somewhere right?
Last night I was on 15% or less battery life and less than 100mb's of disk space left. (i know, i know, i'm a dummy head)
I heard about PLEX running no problem on mobile Browser and decided to test it out and sure enough it worked fine. Was test streaming a few movies out when my PHONE DIED. I thought, oh man, thats probably not the best since it died and it was low on space but yeah I threw it on the charger and went to bed....
This morning, I confirmed it was charged 100% but when I turn it on, the phone will not boot past the AndroidOne screen. Left it there for 40mins and no change, AndroidOne displays and the rainbow colored bars at bottom are frozen(don't scroll) and screen flashes off/on every 30 secs to that same AndroidOne screen.
However I can boot into Bootloader with no issues, and into Recovery mode as well, but there is not a WIPE CACHE option on this device... Obviously the Wipe data/factory reset option is there...
BUT BEFORE WE GET TO THAT POINT, WHaT GIVES? Anyone have any ideas?
few ?'s
#1 - In the Bootloader menu, What is this RESTART BOOTLOADER option for, what does it do?
#2 - Is there any way I can free up some space from Bootloader/Recovery as I'm pretty sure thats the cause of this problem I'm having. I was intending to do that today actually, was going to dump all my pics from the phone to a computer. ..
#3 - Is there any way I can see if my pic's backed up somewhere? New to the Google ecosystem...
#4 - Is there any way I can read or access the phones data via a computer, then perhaps I can delete a few pics to free up memory or better yet, wipe app caches to clear up memory instantly? PERHAPS even command line ????
Any and all other inputs and suggestions greatly appreciated before I take that step of wiping the device(which assumes I can start over with a working phone by doing that but not a guarantee).
Please ADVISE
much appreciated!

Go to photos.google.com with the account you signed into your phone to see if they were backed-up.

Thanks for the reply, so Google says I have backup turned off but my photos are in the timeline.. SO I just manually downloaded them all as a backup/pre-caution.
any other suggestions before I attempt the WIPE data/factory reset option from Bootloader > Recovery?
I can boot up fine into Bootloader and Recovery.
I can access the logs via . Bootloader > Recovery > View Recovery Logs
last line states the following: I:[libfs_mgr]fs_mgr_read_fstab_dt(): failed to read fstab from dt
please advise,

the internet failed, I found nothing on this issue and since I got 90% of my photos recovered via Google photos..
long story short, from Bootloader/Recovery I did the WIPE data/factory reset and i'm good to go now.
even updated my phone to all the latest android and moto updates, feels and seems like a totally new phone.. at a cost of 15gbs!! 15/32gbs used jus for the AndroidONE o/s, am I missing something?

Not missing anything the OS takes up a lot of space. I am using a Pie ROM right now and system takes up 12GB.
