Chosen Solution
Never rooted, completely stock ROM, I have important contacts I need to retrieve which are stored on the phone, It just gets stuck on the Samsung logo animation and never past that. I don’t want to do a hard reset since it will wipe the phones storage that also has the contacts on it, any solutions?
Go into Recovery and format only the Cache partition to see if you can get back into your phone. Alternatively, get a clean Android phone from someone to borrow, and log into it. See if Google automatically backed up your contacts.
