[Q] Galaxy Exhilarate stuck during emergency recovery - General Questions and Answers

First off, I am a complete Android/PC noob (have used solely apple products until this phone, and an Acer aspire comp. i got 2 weeks ago).
I have been using the Exhilarate with android GB, and wanted to upgrade to ICS. I downloaded Samsung Kies, backed up my phone, and began the firmware upgrade, however once the progress reached 70%-80%, the device came unplugged. after restarting the phone, it is stuck on a screen that says:
upper left corner of screen:
Odin Mode
Product Name:SGH-I577
Custom Binary Download: YES(2 counts)
Current Binary: Custom
Center of screen:
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.
When I reconnect and attempt to do the emergency firmware recovery using kies, it completes the downloading of the file for firmware emergency recovery, but once it moves on to "proceed to firmware emergency recovery", it stops working (the progress bar is stuck at 0%)
After waiting a little while, the emergency recovery closes, and a message shows saying:
Notice-F PC failed to recognize the mobile phone. Please follow the guide shown below to try again
I gave up on kies, and did some searching of my own. I downloaded the latest version of Odin, as well as the Clockworkmod-Blaze-4G.tar. I made sure there was nothing Kies-related running on my computer, opened up Odin, loaded the clockwork .tar, turned the phone on into download mode (it says Warning!, asks if I want to go into download mode, and then returns to the Odin Mode screen once I say yes). the device is shown as added to odin, I clicked start, and it seemed to be working, and then a big red FAIL appeared in the top left box, and the message box said:

I have tried re-installing drivers, different versions of the .tar file (i think they are diff. versions, but not completely sure) rebooting the device many many times, among other things. If anyone has any idea of where to go from here, i would be EXTREMELY grateful.
thank you guys

One more thing
OP here still:
I tried again with a different version of Odin. this time it failed once again, but got a bit further. (everything else was the same):

also, I have only checked the Auto reboot box in odin. All others were left blank

I am having a very similar problem with my SGS3 - were you able to solve your problem? If so, can you share how you did?

[Q] URGENT!! Issue of Samsung Vibrant

Hi guys,
I tried to root my phone and installed the "One-Click lag fixed"
Then, my phone get into trouble
So, I can power on my phone and it stuck at the "Galaxy S" pages. Not loading into the system. Then, after it keep loading on that page for a while, the screen turn black and if I touch the 4 button that are placed under the screen, they glow. If I press the power off, it will restart itself and stuck at the "Galaxy S" page again.
Here I have downloaded the (1) ODIN v1.3 (2) s1_odin_20100512.pit and (3) T959UVJI6.tar
I open the ODIN exe, press volume up and down button then plug my phone to my computer, then my phone showed an Andriod digging the ground.
Then I added s1_odin_20100512.pit next the PIT option and T949UVI6.tar under PDA option. And click Start
Here's what the ODIN showed:
<ID:0/003> Added!!
<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..

<ID:0/003> Completed..
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Removed!!
Also, ODIN showed PASS; therefore, I unplug my phone from the computer
however, when I am done with ODIN and my phone reboot itself. The same thing happened. It stuck at the "Galaxy S" page
What did I do wrong!?
Thanks everyone.
sounds like a busybox issue. try this flashable version in recovery mode then reboot. :

[Q] Help soft bricked?

So here's what happened. I tried to install CWM 6.0.1.2 using EZ Recovery and it rebooted into ODIN with the words, could not do normal boot, in red. When I reboot it, it would just go back to the ODIN screen, so I tried to use the root 66 method. At first, it would get to system.img.ext4, but the green bar would barely move and be stuck there for 30 minutes. I would try again by taking out the USB cord, rebooting phone (maybe bad idea?). I did it again and it would be stuck there. I tried different USB ports on my laptop. Some will get to system.img and be stuck or get to recovery.img and say fail. Is my phone hard bricked or is there something else I can do? Thanks!
I also tried it on a different computer and it gets stuck on boot.img instead. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
It seems like using the older version of Odin gave me more consistent results. I now always get to system.img before it fails. The green bar gets 1/3 of the way then says failed.

Is there anyway to get it to be successful?

Problems returning back to stock

I thought going back to stock everything would be easy enough, but not.
I've been having issues with my phone and my only blame I can put is at the custom roms feet.
I'm trying to go back to stock. I have the correct drivers installed, I have odin ready and downloaded the firmware.
I first tried G920FXXU1AOCV_G920FTEF1AOC1_G920FXXU1AOCW_HOME.tar which failed
Comes up on the screen of the phone as: SW REV, CHECK FAIL, DEVICE: 3, BINARY: 1
With odin displaying:
<ID:0/003> Odin engine v(ID:3.1100)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/003> Initialzation..
<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/003> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/003> SingleDownload.
<ID:0/003> sboot.bin
<ID:0/003> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/003> FAIL!
<ID:0/003>
<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I tried with another firmware: G920FXXU2BOFJ_G920FBTU2BOFJ_G920FXXU2BOFJ_HOME.tar which also failed exactly like the above.
I am in the process of downloading a third, one from sammobile. I don't hold up much hope for that either.
Any thoughts?
Hope did you changed the different USB port and original USB cable.
If still same problem , please install smart switch
put it in download mode
open smart switch.
choose the emergency software recovery option.
if the smart switchsays it can t recognize ur device..
Then you have an option there to pick the device manually.
write the model(SM-G920F)
Write the S/N (SERIALNUMBER) which you can find on the back

Galaxy S7 G930W8 won't start, won't take stock ROM nor TWRP

Hello all,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S7, from Rogers but unlocked, version SM-G930W8 that I bought second hand.
Phone was rooted, I factory reset it to prepare it for my wife, then installed apps and moved data and everything.
Turned the phone off and put it aside, the next day I bought a new Nano SIM, turned it ON and I got "Custom binary blocked by FRP lock".
I downloaded G930W8VLU1APG1_G930W8OYA1APG1_XAC tried flashing via ODIN and got this:
<ID:0/004> Odin engine v(ID:3.1203)..

On the phone I had: SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 2. BINARY: 1

It goes all the way through but fails at the end with this message:

On the phone I had: Custom Binary(Recovery) Blocked by FRP Lock
Also I have tried multiple computers, multiple cables, multiple versions of ODIN, ...
Now the phone is stuck at the Samsung screen and won’t turn on or off, until the battery dies.
Tried Smart Switch but it asks for the serial number, which I do not have. (There is just IMEI on the back of the phone)
Not sure but I think somehow after the factory reset the OEM Unlock got disabled.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Did you ever figure this out? I'm facing the same thing and hoping my phone isn't bricked.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/help/potentially-bricked-s7-flat-custom-t3583502
This will fix and let you flash.
1) Open Odin, place all the necessary files into their slots.
2) Go the the options tab, make sure "Auto Reboot" IS ticked.
3) Press "start", but as soon as you do, hold down Vol down+Home+Power on your phone.
Odin will fail and your phone will reboot into download mode again.
Now press "Start" in Odin again, and your phone should flash without a problem.
This might take a few attempts to get right, but I hope it helps.

SoftBricked AT&T S7 PLEASE Help

So I have the AT&T variant of the Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930A). I had installed root using a tutorial I found on these forums and everything went great for months. I started getting some errors after automatic updates ran (the Play Store kept crashing) so I tried to flash back to the stock firmware. Doing this, I ended up at the "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software" page.
I've tried using Smart Switch, but the application tells me that my device is unsupported and entering my model and serial numbers into the software just causes it (the smart switch app) to crash.
On the Android Recovery screen, I can see that I have the G930AUCS2APH1 firmware running Android 6.0.1. I believe I have found the original stock firmware for this version here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/at...rmware-stock-sm-g930a-ph1-odin-files-t3458890
But whenever I try to flash anything other than CP to my phone in Odin, I end up with a FAIL! (Auth) error.

I've tried using different USB ports and cables, as well as a few different firmwares (admittedly, even some that are not the PH1 update) but all end up with the same result.
Can anyone help me out? I believe I'm doing everything right but I cannot get my phone up and running again for the life of me.
OKAY so I believe I fixed the problem before anyone could get to this so this is for anyone that stumbles across this thread. I was able to successfully flash the PK1 update to my phone. I found the firmware here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B_lsL4sQwjajY2dxSkFjYmw4OGM
Just flashing the AP package seems to have worked fine.
