Galaxy Tab S 10.5 stuck on Samsung boot screen

[Biastad]

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5" that I purchased right after launch. It's the model with no cellular provider.

I just updated it to Marshmallow tonight. After installing, the device restarted and has been stuck on Samsung loading screen for two hours. What do I do now?

I should add that I have not rooted the device or done anything that would cause a problem with downloading official updates. I bought it new, also.

I am curious as to how you got it to update to "Marshmallow" as Samsung itself said they were not allowing adding it?

I guess they backtracked on their initial statement, because I did a factory reset a few hours ago and was able to get updated to 6.0.1.

I see.. looks like Verizon has it now, but others may have it later. I am assuming that you have a Verizon SIM then. Hmm not sure why would be such a problem though.. Unless you had an SD card in while doing the upgrade. That can sometimes cause issues.

I did have an SD card inserted when I did the update. I removed it before doing the second update, the successful one.

Also I don't have the Verizon version. I just have the Wi-Fi only one. I do have a Verizon cell phone though. Maybe I was somehow tagged as a Verizon user? I dunno.

But to do the Marshmallow update, I just did the stock "settings-about-check for update". No funny stuff.

Interesting. I have looked around for a fix for the issues, but with it but all the fixes I am finding involve rooting. I am thinking the error is to new, due to the update being so new, but I could be wrong.

Anyone else out there reading this have any suggestions?
