Stuck in Reboot Loop - Factory Reset failing

[ThisRandomDude]

So I put my tablet on to charge last night, woke up this morning and it was stuck in an endless reboot loop. It gets as far as the Samsung logo, then reboots and does it all again. I have tried using Recovery Mode to clear the cache, with no change. I have attempted to factory reset, but I'm not actually given the option to confirm the reset. I select 'wipe data/factory reset,' then the menu closes, a bunch of white programming text scrolls up my screen with various versions of 'no such of file or directory,' then the menu reopens. I am never given the option to select 'Yes - wipe all data.' Halp!

Very odd man, I have the same tablet as you do.. Hmmm...

Could be the firmware is damaged or corrupted, and needs to be re-flashed?

And how would I go about doing such a thing?

Go here https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ look up your Samsung device, and follow the instructions.

Any more questions, come back and perhaps somebody who knows the Tab S4 may be able to assist you more.

Double check the text at the bottom to make sure it does *not* show "Data wipe complete". If that is there at the bottom, then the factory reset was performed successfully

So I successfully re-flashed the OS, but the reboot loop persists. I'm running out of ideas.
