A bootloop on the Samsung I9103 Galaxy R occurs when the device repeatedly restarts without fully loading Android.

Factory reset may be needed as a last resort — erases all data.

On your Samsung I9103 Galaxy R: force restart: hold Power for 15–30 seconds

If still looping: enter Recovery Mode

3

Navigate to 'Wipe cache partition' → confirm → reboot

4

If still looping: return to Recovery

5

Select 'Wipe data/factory reset' → confirm (erases all data)
