There are several reasons why your Note 10 can be stuck in a bootloop. Each cause has a different solution. So, first, you need to figure out how and why it happened. Suppose you have no idea how your phone got stuck in a bootloop. All of a sudden, your phone restarted, and now it won’t pass the Samsung logo screen. Or it happened after an OTA update from Samsung. Start with the first method of clearing the cache and move downwards if the issue is persistent.

If your Note 10 gets stuck at the Samsung logo after you flash firmware or recovery or while trying to root it, the only method to fix your phone will be to flash stock firmware using either Smart Switch or ODIN, which is the last method in this guide. So now, let us move on to the plans.

Clear Cache Partition from the recovery menu:

First, let us move on to the easy solution, which has no side effects. Clearing the cache won’t delete any of the data on your phone if there is some corrupt cache that stops your phone from booting the operating system correctly. However, clearing the cache will probably solve the issue.

To clear the cache, follow the steps below:

1. So, first of all. Turn off your Galaxy Note 10 or Note 10+.
2. Now press and hold Volume up and the Side Button until you see the Samsung Logo.
3. Now, you will be in the Recovery menu.
4. You will see several options in that menu. Use the volume buttons to navigate and the power button to select “Wipe Cache Partition. “
5. It might take some seconds or minutes to complete the action. Once done, you will see a log entry on the bottom side of your phone.
6. Once you have successfully deleted the cache of Galaxy Note 10, use the volume buttons to navigate to “Reboot system. “ Your phone will restart now.

Hopefully, this will solve the issue of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 stuck at the Samsung Logo in a bootloop at startup. If this didn’t fix your phone, the next thing to try is to factory reset your phone using the recovery menu.

Factory Reset Galaxy Note 10 to fix Bootloop issue:

So, the second method is to perform a factory reset. The downside of this method, or the side effect (you may call it), is that you will lose all the data in the internal storage of your Note 10. All the data that was not backed up to your Google account or Samsung cloud will be lost.

As your phone does not pass the boot screen, we will perform a factory reset from the recovery menu. The steps are to factory reset the Galaxy Note 10 or Note 10+ from the recovery menu.

1. First of all, just like in the method above. Then, turn off the phone and get into the recovery menu by pressing and holding the Volume up and Side buttons till you see the Recovery menu.
2. Once done, use the volume bar to select the option “Wipe Data/Factory Reset.”
3. It will warn you that all the data on your phone’s internal storage will be lost. Then, move on to factory reset your phone.
4. It might take some time. However, once done, your phone will restart on its own.

Once it’s restarted, I hope it’ll pass by the Samsung logo and successfully load the operating system. If Note 10 is still stuck on the Samsung logo at startup, Then, the last resort in the guide below is to flash the stock firmware.

Fix Bootloop by Flashing stock firmware on Note 10 Stuck at Samsung Logo:

There are multiple ways to flash stock firmware on your Note 10. You can use the smart switch, which might or might not detect your phone, considering it is in the bootloop. The other method to flash stock firmware is via ODIN, which is official software that can be used on Samsung devices to flash firmware and recoveries. ODIN has been used for this purpose from S2 and S3. ODIN is a little complex compared to smart switch, but ODIN works for sure, and you can fix the issues if there exist any.

Meanwhile, the easier to use software is Smartswitch. All you can do is select from the prompted options. If you are not tech-savvy, smart switch is the best choice. If you can handle little complex things, you can go for ODIN.

I have both methods explained thoroughly in this guide. Both methods are described with screenshots of how to use both tools. It will help you to flash stock firmware to fix Note 10 stuck at the Samsung logo in a bootloop.

Flashing stock firmware will most probably delete all the data present in your phone unless you find the exact same firmware already loaded onto your Note 10. The guide on flashing firmware, which I have linked above, provides more details.
