Galaxy Watch 3: Stuck in Boot Loop? 4 Fixes!

Had a rebooting problem with my Samsung Gear3...was trying the double button press but it continuously failed to open....your tip on using the base charger with double button pressing worked a treat ...many thanks however i now have less of an excuse to go get a garmin instinct x2 solar

My was Dies

I've been stuck in a rebooting loop for 2 weeks now and I tried this remedy. With my watch the mentioned workaround did not work. I had to hold both buttons down in order to maneuver through the menus, otherwise it would just start looping again. I was able to select reset and successfully reset the watch but when I let go of the buttons, loop. I've tried setting it in rice for a week but nothing works. Is it done?

A bit late to the party, but the second way worked like a dream, thought I was SOL at first

Thanks ❤❤

so the watch hasn’t been powered on for a long time and it still says rebooting then might say 0% but hasn’t charged

So I have had the same issue this week due to too much moisture.

What worked for me:

I let the watch die completely and rest out on a flat surface in a dry, cool room for two days. After it sat out I set it on the charger and it started to charge and act as it should. So far so good, I'm going to try to not let it get too sweaty or wet again.

Hope this helps.

Miracle alert! See post just below...my watch has been in a coma for a month in that reboot mode. I tried everything over and over, including contact cleaner. I had essentially given up a few days ago and left it in a small sealed container on a bag of rice with watch back removed, sitting on a sunny window sill for four additional days..... and bought a new Galaxy 4 Classic on sale....the latest is 6. I'm happy with the 4 and learning apps. Anyway,, I planned to box up the 3 and put it to rest, but decided to snap the back on and check for a heartbeat. The new battery had died, so gave it another round of button pushes and set on the charger, and quite unexpectedly it did a real reboot and came out of coma. I haven't check all function but contacts are there, time reset to 2015 and currently recharged to 38% on the new battery, so now I have 2 smart watches. I'll be putting the back screws on and wrist band, time set, etc, but I'm a pretty happy camper at the moment. Thanks to WorldofTech and a few other related posters!

I contracted the sequential "rebooting" problem a week ago at one of the Niagra Falls excursions and have tried these various recommendations off and on for the week with no success. I did a successful battery transplant two years ago, so thought replacing the battery again would help, but it didn't. I'll keep at it though. I have an old running watch that's been ticking away so will wear that for a while. Thanks all, for your suggestions.

Good Video! Sadly... no joy on my end. I fear I have beaten this watch silly through all but constant wear... I believe as others have said that I've lose that good tight seal and I have a water intrusion issues at hand...great watch, can't take a 3 year beating by a retired Jarhead I guess... Tha KS for the offering Sir.

Mines with my frontier , my phone cant find it as its stuck still on the reboot loop , and has soon as i try the reset the screen goes off , and the phone is still stuck in the loop ..also it had a green line across it at one stage

2nd one worked for me 👍🏻

My watch won't charge past 4% and it's stuck on a reboot loop and I've tried all of these things, it was working fine one minute then all the sudden reboot continuously then died and then won't charge past 4% and continues to reboot when I'm charging it until giving up whenever it feels

I've tried all of this and now I'm thinking I should just bring it in because it's still not working

how do you calibrate the step count on this watch? can you add your pace count manually??

No help still on a loop tommorow gonna burn it and never gonna buy samsung watches

The Home button is stuck (not working) and the device is constantly in a reboot loop. Is there any help on that?

no access to phone to reset - still stuck in reboot loop

Lo logro llegar hasta el logo Samsung cuando lo coloco en el cargador vuelve al efecto rebote

Did not work

nothing works for me

Bootloop

This video was so good that it had been stuck on boot loop for a while and as soon as as I started watching the video it booted itself up on its own thanks lol

I have an issue with the Galaxy 4 Classic where I am trying to get to the boot menu and the system info appears very quickly and then disappears and immediately loops again. I can stop or interrupt that process and am about to park the watch for a few days to try and exhaust the battery. Anyone have options here?

Perfect i had mine on for the first time in the swimming pool and it got stuck in a boot loop. fallowed your steps and boom its back tnx a lot.

Brilliant

I have same watch stuck in lets go mode, it goes to accessibility mode then nowhere ???? Help

Nothing, same shit

this video is trash can i take back my watch time

What a crappy watch! It should not require these kind of procedures so the watch will work. I will never buy a Samsung watch ever again. What a waste of money. BTW, none of these procedures worked!

bullshit video.

ive done like 4 factory reset an its still got the reactivation lock on it.....so i bought it from my friend. so i need him to log into his samsung account an unlock it? im new to this

Looking for a solution mine is just black screen but when I try to turn it on I feel small vibrations and a sound when I conect to power. The last day I noticed the issue the stupid green sensor light was on for a long time after I took it off from my wrist. Any idea or recomendation?

Tysm boss

Holding both while it was on the charger worked for me. Thanks

Lot a thanks sir👍

Fixed!
Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 3.
After being okay for months, including swimming, paddling, sailing, showering, etc, it has gone in rebooting loop tonight, after showering yesterday evening.
First I have uselessly tried pressing both bottons.
Then I repeteadly pressed just one and then the other, as shown in this videoclip, and it worked.
Thank you.

pressing the buttons like crazy is what worked

Worked after putting on charging tapping top button super fast.

Thanks for the video, I was really hoping it would work. I ended up doing the full reset. And now I can't even reconnect it because it still won't swipe. I've had it just over a year and clean it often. I don't understand what happened 😕

Thank you very helpful

I got this same problem in my Samsung Gear Sport watch (bought 4yrs ago, no warranty) after swimming and pressing the buttons inside the pool. The next moment it went into rebooting loop; I wiped the watch and coved the watch inside a bag of rice (for dehrdatrion) for a week. This removed all the water drops inside the watch. After a week I charged it and, my watch is back to normal. My observation is these watches are actually not waterproof after 1 or 2 years, so water goes inside and cause this rebooting loop. Just need to remove water completely. Hope this helps someone.

It worked...thanks!

Mine is completely stuck in the galaxy rebooting screen :[
