Gets stuck in booting up and doesn't progress from there

My Samsung Galaxy tab s3 (model#SM-T820) seems to charge normally. When starting up it gets stuck in the booting up cycle and the icon just spins. The system will advance no further. This is a hand me down so there is no data to save. At this point I can see 3 options: resetting the whole system, using it as a paper weight, or using it as a target the next time I go shooting. Any and all ideas will be GRATEFULLY accepted.

Hi @oldguy52 ,

With no data loss to worry about, try a hard reset using the hardware keys.

If that is no good try reflashing the ROM with Odin and check if that works.
