Galaxy Watch 4 Classic, Watch 5 & 5 Pro: Keeps Restarting? Stuck in Boot Loop? FIXED!

I show you how to fix a Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic (same for Galaxy Watch 5 & 5 Pro) that is stuck in a boot loop where the watch keeps restarting or rebooting continuously and never boots up to the clock face. Hope this helps.

Best "fix it" video on You Tube!!! The Factory Reset worked for about 3 minutes and went back to reboot mode in the middle of setting up. Got it to come back up a few minutes later, but it said it couldn't complete charging as the watch needs to cool down. MY TIP FOR THIS>>> After taking my watch off the charger and rubbing my cold hands on the back of the hot watch, I put it back on the charger. It's now charging... Fingers crossed that it charges and works tomorrow morning! FYI, if anyone has the Galaxy 2, you use the bottom smaller button to get to the Reset (or whichever option you choose) versus the top button.

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.

Thank you!!! The swirling circles of death were freaking me out and having me worried I wouldn't be able to wipe any of my info before I exchange it for a replacement, thankfully I came across your very helpful video!! I learned so much in under 7 minutes and the factory reset was the only thing to help get out of the boot 👢 loop, fortunately it was what I was wanting to get done also! Thanks so much!

Thank you so much! I let the battery die for 3 days, got back directly in the menu and wiped the cache. The boot loop is gone.👍

I had to go through all the steps! However, the final one worked for my watch. Thank you so much because I was about to buy another watch. Not having my watch makes me feel as though I am not fully dressed! Again, thank you!!!

Thank you so much! I thought my Fossil 5e was dead and gone until 8 minutes ago! This is the only video that helped me!

Awesome! Thank you so much!
Helped even during update->restart loop. But via factory reset.

No luck. Starts reboot cycle before I can choose clear cache partition, even after battery rundown.

Thank you very much for all of your tricks. I tried all of them, and the last trick helped me to restart my watch again. You are The best 👌 .

"Factory Reset" worked for me! Been without my watch ⌚️ for 2 months now ... thank you!

Nice info for the Samsung galaxy watch 4 classic.👍

I can't go into recovery mode because my watch just starts looping the recovery mode. Not even joking. Sometimes it will make it to the recovery menu for a split second before rebooting, but it usually loops before it has time to display the menu.

Letting the battery drain is the only solution I found. Unfortunately, I had to go thru the process all over again a month later.

Tinha esquecido a senha do meu relógio e graças a seu vídeo consegui formatar.

Wow factory reset works for me thanks a million

[DakotaWebber]

I had this issue but was failing to get into the recovery mode, it would boot loop in that as well, I left the watch dead flat for a few days, as soon as it had power it had gone into recovery properly and wiping cache worked

[paulacardoso]

I can't get onto recovery mode that options doesn't even come up
