Could very well be that the phone has already been updated to 5.1.1. That may be the reason that you can't flash OE2. Did you try flashing the 5.1.1 firmware?
how do i check what update it is on if it wont boot up?
thanks!
also which file is the 5.1.1 firmware?

Are you using the home button as your enter selection button?
And have you tried stock recovery yet?

Power off phone, hold volume up, home, power buttons. It will go to a blue screen. Wait a bit. It can take a few.
oh ****. so it looks like the battery is at 0 percent. right when i hit factory reset, i unplug the cable and then it shows 0% battery and a picture to plug in my phone. but whenever i plug in my phone it bootloops with the blue screen!!!
can i charge phone in maintenance mode or download mode? i also have a wireless charger but that loops to the blue screen as well

Might just have to get a new battery.
So, you are saying that the phone will not power down correctly in maintenance mode when you volume down to "power off device" and hit the home button?

i dont think its the physical battery, i think its a software glitch or brick. its stuck in a bootloop so it wont charge
if i could get some juice on it maybe that would let me flash via odin.
im not sure if download or maintenance mode allows the device to charge

I Google it and found where it would charge. Leave it hooked up in download mode. If it still doesn't charge (probably take a lot longer) it is problem the physical battery. Just like a car, a bad battery won't accept a charge.
ok im download mode now and I'm letting it sit on the charger! I'll go back to it after letting it sit for an hour.
only reason i didnt think it was the physical battery was because i couldnt get to a mode where I could charge! it was stuck in the bootloop

No, that is the screen you goto before you go to stock recovery. Also, as you are downloading via odin, though at that time it will have a progress bar on it as well.

what if i replace the battery and it does the same thing and doesnt charge!
maybe when the OEM cable comes tomorow, it'll flash OE2 or OF1?
anything to get it working.....

If you do a battery pull then plug it into the charger then put battery back does the notification led go red?
yes....
that happened to em and from what i read on the forums there's nothing you can do but replace it. Verizon wont know its rooted since it wont even turn on.
^this. verizon cant deny a new phone if they check if its rooted.

This happened to me. My phone had been rooted and I had pushed some apps to the system, but I had not used any custom roms or kernels at all. After my small modifications my phone worked for a month or so. Out of the blue while using navigation, it died and would no longer turn on. It would boot into recovery or download mode only when on the charger. If I left it on the charger for a long period then it would boot to the homescreen sometimes but then turn off very quickly. I tried all I could through odin to fix it. Since I could boot to the homescreen sometimes, I could see that odin had returned my phone to stock and my flash counter was still at 0. Still would never boot into any mode when off the charger. I had to return to verizon for a refurb as I believe it is a hardware issue imo.

** UPDATE** I dont know how but i managed to get my phone into download mode by holding only vol down and home while plugged into computer. I was able to odin back to stock using *how to unbrick a soft brick* yaaayyyyyy!!!!! i got my phone back...now to re-root but this time i wont wipe internal sd card..lol
It wont let me post link to form....but hope this might help anyone else with what i would like to call a medium brick like mine
SO if your notification light comes on (red) when battery is out and plugged into computer try holding ONLY vol down and home to get into download mode...it worked for mine
Hi guys, I need some help with a restart issue. This is not a bootloop issue. When it's plugged into USB, it will go to the battery charge screen with the loading symbol, but then keep restarting itself from there. Holding the volume buttons does nothing, so I can't even get it into download mode. Any thoughts?

Try an usb jig which puts the device in download mode, you can find them cheap on ebay, I bought one because my buttons were damaged and it worked perfectly.

Hmmm...will this work for my situation, though? It seems like there's no charge on the battery either. I got this from someone else.

Check the power button it gets dirty from the inside and the button get stuck that happen to me when i was on stock froyo 2.2.1 without any modification no root no custom rom i tap the power button a couple of times and that fix the problem for some time but some time later the problem persist the solution was to take apart my infuse and clean the power button and the inside of the phone.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Okay, cleaned inside with q-tip & alcohol, got the battery fully charged, got the jig & plugged it in. Still goes through the restart loop whether it's starting normally or going into download mode with the jig. What else could be causing this?
Hey everyone
Verizon SGS3
Earlier today, phone shut off randomly during use.
Phone won't power on without a battery pull.
Trying to boot normally: can see "samsung" for a split second, phone shuts off.
Trying to boot to recovery: get to screen where in the top left corner it says "recovery booting...", lasts for a split second, shuts off
Trying to boot so I can use ODIN: before I can even hit volume up to go into download mode, powers down
I was hoping I'd be able to get into recovery and then just do a factory reset, but I'm not given enough time before it powers down.
Is there any way for me to factory reset from pc?
Would this even work?
Any help is appreciated

You aren't bricked, it sounds like either a battery issue or a power button issue. Does it turn on completely when it's plugged in?

It does not turn on completely at all and hasn't for several hours now. The best I can do it get it to begin powering up, into the different modes, and then i get a black dead screen. Even if i try to power back up right after getting the black dead screen, nothing happens at all. I need to do a battery pull to attempt again.
Up until this day I've never had any battery or power button issues

I think it's your power button, if it were hard bricked it wouldn't show anything. Those symptoms sound like the power button is stuck in the on position when you're powering it up.
If you're under warranty send it into Samsung and they'll troubleshoot it.

Verizon will for sure. Why dont u find another s3 battery and check it first. If battery is bad it will not turn on regaurdless of whether its plugged in or not. Power goes through the battery.

Hi,
i update my Galaxy S7 today with the new DBT-Firmware. I follow a Tutorial in which you can update a rooted Phone with flashify it without loss any data. Also the TWRP works still great after this. I did this with the last Firmware few weeks ago and it works great.
Today it works great also, everything was perfect. Than a last step: I flash the the bootloader seperately in odin. i did this the last time too and it works well. but not at this time.
After Bootloader flash, the device stays in the first Screen with Samsung Logo, i cannot go to Download Mode or Recovery. I tried a USB-Jig, but it changes nothing. The only thing you can do now is, to make a Reset with Power+Volume Down. Than the screen goes black for a second and it shows the Samsung Logo Screen again.
bad thing is: I cant turn off the device!
i remove the SIM and the SD-Card, but no reaction.
Anybody an idea? The battery was half loaded, so maybe it takes a while, before it will shutdown itself.
Mhhh, that's a bad day, i fear. But iam an Idiot, it was the Bootloader-Flash at the end, before that everything was perfect.
Maybe anybody can help me, that were great.
And sorry for my bad english.
Thanks,
Jan

thanks for the link, but i think before i remove the backcover, i better will bring it to repair first. i got an official samsung repair center in my town.
by the way: it was the bootloader from the latest official firmware (G930FXXU1BPH6, DBT-Version).
i cannot explain to myself, what happend i done all this a few weeks ago with the last firmware without any problems.

if i can charge it, maybe i can than go into the downloadmode.
If you had 50% battery left, and it's just sitting on the Samsung logo, it might take days to run out
50% battery on idle with the phone booted into Android will last a day or two on its own, just on the logo is like ultra power saving mode

Found this, try holding power and volume down & up together for safe mode (Might not work if it's stuck on the logo, but worth a try)
---
Okay. This morning my S7 would not turn off, its not the edge, but basically the same phone.
You must hold down the power, the volume up and down all at the same time for about 15 seconds. (All 3 buttons).
It will go into safe mode. In the safe mode screen hit the volume button down a few times until it moves to restart.
Click the power button, as "enter" and the phone will restart.
It did a restart and I tried again to turn it off and this time, it did work. I will keep you all updated if I have any more issues.

Does Smart Switch see it?
All this is unlikely due to where it is stuck, at the logo, you shouldn't have been able to kill download mode is the thing, that is part of the hardware, nothing to do with the ROM, you 'should' always be able to enter download mode if you hold Volume Down & Home & Power at boot, not sure why it's freezing at the logo before that point
With the S5 there was an unbrick image you flashed to a MicroSD card, put that in the phone, and that took you to download mode where you could recover the phone
See if there is the same thing for the S7, I'm not sure
ok, after the phone shut down itself, i was able to go to the download mode. but only on first try. when it boots normally, it stuck again on that logo an i must wait again until it goes off itself.
flash it than in download mode with latest firmware in odin with 4 parts. power from the usb was enough to stay it on.
now it seems ok, back on latest firmware.
what a hell of an evenig, need a beer right now
You can switch your phone off with the 3 key pressing and holding (vol+, vol-, power) but your phone needs to be connected to power otherwise it will reboot.

yes, iam happy now, seems to work fine.
i think it was because the new bootloader don't work with the twrp version that was installed.
on the twrp page there is a new version especially for this firmware. it was published yesterday and i didn't see it.
so i think, after flash the new bootloader over the old twrp it chrashed the whole system.

Well if you do it again, make sure your battery is low first in case you have to wait again
Any reason you needed to flash the bootloader over the one that was already there?

an no, there's no reason to replace the bootloader, i only did it to make the whole flash "complete".
a bad mistake, that brought me in sweating. i will learn from that experience.

Remove charger and let the phone battery die, might take a long time depending on how much it was charged
Try connecting the white MicroUSB > USB adapter that came with the phone to something power hungry to drain it quicker
Power off you device and then wait 10 seconds. After waiting press and hold the Volume Up, Home, and Power buttons at the same time
After the phone vibrates, let go of the Power button, while still holding the other two buttons until Android System Recovery screen appears.
Using the "Volume Down" button, highlight "wipe cache partition" and press the Power button to select it.
After the cache partition is cleared, the Galaxy S7 will reboot automatically. This worked for me ans I hope this will help

Run the battery out, once the phone is off it might get out of whatever loop it is stuck in
Then connect charger and power on
Any background info? ROMs flashed? Shady apps newly installed? Rooted?

Red LED should not show when charger is not connected though
Press power button plus volume up and down hold for 5 to 10 sec it will restart ur phone same thing happen with on s6 but not on s7.
I once had to press vol up and down, power and home (that's all buttons) at the same time for ten seconds for the S7 to reboot as it was stuck and seemingly dead. No led on at the time though. But I have disabled the leds in the settings anyway.
UPDATE!
The battery discharged completely(red led was off),first i tried to put it in download mode and IT WORKED!!! But the phone wouldn't turn on because the battery was 0%.I charged it and now it works fine :| I hope this was something software related and not hardware and i hope this will never happen again.Thx for the help guys!

Great
Sounded like it just got stuck, and because you can't take the battery out you have to wait for discharge :good:

Yup ?
Same problem
I have the same issue... Tried to charge my phone with 15% battery and after a few hours it was 8%. Tried to reboot, charge with the phone turned off but nothing was happening ( not charging, not booting up. tried buttons combinations as well ). The led is not showing up on mine because i disabled it from the settings so i'm not sure if it's charging or not. Took the phone to an authorized service on friday so next week i'll be getting a response from them. By the way, the phone is only one week old :crying:
