AT&T Radiant Max 5G is just showing “powered by Android”
My phone won’t open beyond the screen saying “powered by Android”, I have forced a restart by pressing the volume down and power button for ten seconds but when it boots back up again the same screen reappears and nothing further happens. How do I clear this so that I can use my phone?
Thank you

Sounds like the Operating System was corrupted or the Hard Drive failed. Very likely not going to fix it. Should be able to get it exchanged through warranty if less than 1 year old, assuming no physical or liquid damage.

@Racingcar before exchanging the device you can try to clear the cache partition and/or perform a factory reset. Look at the KB Article and search the page for Perform an alternate master reset section. Follow the steps in there until you see the screen pictured in the step #3. Instead of performing the factory reset as instructed, find an item that reads Wipe cache partition and invoke that, followed by Reboot now. If this doesn't help, then either factory reset or proceed with the exchange if eligible.

Thanks guys, I’ll give the reset a go and if that doesn’t work then it’s back to the
store for an exchange
