Help Samsung A03 Core - reboot issue

[Old Geezer]

I have a Samsung A03 core lite, following software update, the home screen is stuck on "Android Recovery > Reboot system now

No matter how many times I "reboot now" it's stuck on the home screen

I've tried "wipe data/factory rest" on reboot, the home screen is stuck on "Android recovery"

Message on the home screen: E: Cannot log to file /dev/fscklogs/log

Any help please?

it sounds like a bad update install.

probably will have to re-flash your firmware.

go here:

enter your exact model and download and flash the firmware update. make sure that you use the correct firmware as it will need to be exact. flashing the wrong firmware could soft brick your phone.

if you can get into download mode, then you should be fine:

can you explain in more detail what is going on? i'm not sure i understand what you mean by "couldn't log in to file". what file? what are you logging in to.

just remember that the more details you give us, the better we can help you.

I think the OP's phone has a boot process error and that's just some generic Linux-level error. It's failing during boot with that error:

E: Cannot log to file /dev/fscklogs/log

This is in regards to FSCK, aka File System Check. Possible internal storage/nand failure. Possible write error somewhere. This is a generic, kernel-level Linux/UNIX style error message.
