Hello everyone, after a failed XPOSED flash, I was stuck in a bootloop, then I tried to clear caches to get it to work, also tried to ADB sideload, but it didn't work and now I am stuck in ODIN download mode. I tried pressing all the button combinations, but even if the phone turns off or goes to the battery charging sign, when I click power it boots back to the ODIN mode. It doesn't show the warning screen either, just goes straight to the DOWNLOAD PLEASE DON'T TURN OFF screen. I tried flashing a stock rom and a rooted ROM and on ODIN on my PC it says PASS, but on the phone it gets stuck at the last 1% on the white bar and then just stays like that until I reset it. My phone before this was on a rooted 5.1.1 firmware.

i have a galaxy note edge, but couple of days back when i unpluged my phone from the charger and tried to turn it on it would not boot up properly;even if it did it would turn itself off at different times. so i had decided to flash stock rom, thinking this could solve the problem. i downloaded stock rom from sammobile, flash it via odin,and it was successful;but when the phone rebooted with "recovery booting" on the top left of the screen then the screen went black. to turn the the device on again i have to pull the battery out and put back in after 10-15 seconds. and now whenever i try to turn the device on, it boots up with "recovery booting'' on the top left of the screen but goes black as soon as the samsung logo shows up. i don't know what's causing this problem.
if anyone out there could help me get out of this problem,i would greatly appreciate it
thanks in advanced

but i need a solution for my galaxy note edge.
you have the incorrect recovery flashed, double check it and reflash. hold home+vol down+power then press volume up when prompted. use odin from pc to flash the correct recovery.

I flashed stock rom, but that didn't help; I still can't get the phone to turn on properly. The phone turns off as soon as the Samsung logo shows up, I am on stock recovery.
I flashed stock rom and it loads successfully,the phone reboots with "recovery booting" on the top left of the screen,but the screen goes black as soon as the text "galaxy note edge powered by Android" shows up.
I'm desperately trying to find a way out of this problem, so please help me.
best regards
Ok, so I tried to root my phone using odin and cf auto but at the end of the process when my phone got rebooted I was stuck on the logo screen for ages and this small red text showed at the top saying something like recovery is not seandroid enforcing. So after searching through solutions I tried formatting the phone but when I tried to go into recovery mode it just rebooted back to the logo screen. So I then tried to reinstall the firmware but after doing this Odin said failed and then my phone got rebooted and is now stuck on the message "An error has ccured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software." But Samsung Kies and Smart Switch says my device is not supported and when I try to go into recovery or download mode the phone just turns of and goes back to the error screen. Can anyone please help me. This is a new phone and my parents would kill me if they found out I screwed it up already.

Put your phone in download mode and use odin to flash ROM. It will work.
Good luck
1) smartswitch or kies wont work at all because you already tripped your knox
2) recovery is not seandroid enforcing <- this text shows you have custom recovery installed.
3) you possibly didnt turned knox off. settings>lock screen and security > find my mobile> there will be an option to switch it off
now solution
1st of all you havent bricked it! its soft bricked and not hard bricked(hard brick wont even turn on)
what you can do is let the battery drain off totally charge it and try to put it in download mode > odin > flash stock rom first(important step).
from there try to turn it on if it does you great. and dont use cf auto root if you are not familiar with it download some other roms which are way better than stock touchwiz,pre rooted and way better than it(like the note5 rom for s6 by arter).
by the way keycombinations >
downloadmode = vol down+home+power to switch off download mode vol down+ power only
recoverymode= vol up+home+ power
if you can put it in download mode follow my steps and hopefully you can,just keep trying

My phone wont go into download mode. When I press the button combination, the phone reboots and goes back into the screen saying the software error again. And the first time I tried to flash stock the phone is how the error message came up.

Ok so I let my phone completely drain of charge, then the second I put it on charge, the phone goes to the software error screen. Download mode just reboots phone into the error screen and recovery mode doesn't seem to do anything. Ill see if Odin recognizes the phone though
Ahm probably you missed something that could help you resolve your issue in much less time.
1. Press Vol Down + Power Button for 5 seconds until it reboots. After the screen is off then quickly switch to Vol down + Home + Power button to access download mode.
It is the key combination to safemode but it your case, it will just force restart your phone. No need to drain your battery.
2. Maybe most of the newbies always missed this part before doing anything to their phone. Backup (either on smart switch or Nandroid*best option)
3. You need to have proper samsung usb drivers installed and check in odin if your phone was recognized.
The only thing I see from your first post is that the firmware installation (odin) was interrupted. Please let it finished installing before doing anything in ur phone. Check faulty usb ports/usb cables to ensure your pc/laptop works well with ur s6.
Let us know how if u still encounter any issues.

do as the guy above said in 1st step thats a key step to put it in download mode
Thank you guys
The phone is all good now. It turns out that the software error screen was also the download mode. So I flashed the stock rom and everything is fine now. Thanks for the help.

Even though knox is tripped you can use smartswitch.
I know this because I have done it.
I rooted my phone, installed custom kernel, etc.
I then broke the screen, and since it was a hardware issue, I got it covered by my phone provider. (I am in Aus, we have different warranty laws compared to the USA.)
But I had to return it to stock. So I used Smartswitch to do so, even with knox tripped.
Hi, I have a Galaxy S4 I9500 and I'm using GEAR CM13
The ROM was working fine until a while ago, but now suddenly there's a bootloop. Last thing I remember doing was accidentally holding the power button a bit long (while trying to lock the phone) so the power off/reboot menu came up and and then I tried to exit from it, but the menu didn't go away and the phone entered into a boot loop
Now, the Samsung i9500 logo just keeps flashing every 5 seconds. I'm unable to enter into recovery mode. I can enter download mode but it just exits out of that after 5 seconds and starts flashing i9500 logo again. I read about a hack to remove battery as soon as I enter download mode and it worked. It stays on download mode now. ODIN recognizes the device. What can I do using ODIN to fix the bootloop? Is there any ODIN flashable zip? I'm on the latest [20160711] build. I have important data in my device. Please help me recover it
I know I can reflash stock ROM and from there, reflash GearCM13 but I do not want to lose data as much as possible. I'm trying for fixes which do not wipe my data partition. I will go ahead with the standard method if I do not find a fix to recover from bootloop without losing data.
I successfully rooted my S8+ using the Sampwned method, it was buggy and I lost the ability to use wifi-calling so I decided to revert back to stock firmware.
I downloaded stock AT&T Firmware from Samsmobile website. Went into odin flashed the firmware, it ran everything successfully however when the phone went to reboot,
it go stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy S8+" Screen.
Below where it says Samsung Galaxy s8+,
there is an Icon of an open Lock, with the word "Custom" below it.
And below that it says "Powered by Android"
I am not able to do anything from this screen at all!
I can't get back into download mode, I can't boot into safe mode. I cant hard reset.
Nothing works for me at all.
What can I do to fix this?
that happened the first time i rooted. whet i did was:
1) hold the power and volume down buttons together until screen shuts off,
2) immediately after (right when the screen goes black) let go quickly and hold bixby button, volume down, and the power button.
it should boot into download mode. i had to do it a few times before it registered, if not hold power and volume up buttons until it reaches that upload scrren and you should be able to get to recovery. hope it helps. goodluck

Let the battery run out then charge and try to boot
hello
i fear i may have f##cked my phone and am panicking!
i installed a custom rom and the installation seemed to go well but aftetr when i rebooted it seemed to stay on the loading screen for ever even after multiple reboot attempts. anyway i messed around with it (not remembering what i done) and everytime i boot after it shows the s7 edge text it immediately loads a red screen. i have tried to get into recovery by holding home, power and vol up but again boots to red screen. i can boot into downloading mode by holding home, power, vol down.
so ive done some searching on google and it points to i need to flash stock rom with odin whilst in download mode. i got the stock rom for my model and attempting to flash but after sboot.img it fails. (screenshot attached).
please someone help!

That error means it's the wrong firmware. Flash the stock that was on it before you messed about with custom ROM.
Also please read ALL instructions when flashing custom ROMs, some take 15 minutes on first boot.
UPDATE
the error only happened as i wasnt flashing the very latest stock rom. downloaded from samsung website and now is working fine
phew
