Galax S7 does not turn on – Nothing works - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hi,
today in the morning I couldn’t turn on my S7. It went off while charging overnight. Then I tried to hold the volume down and the power button together for twelve seconds and the S7 turned on. Unfortunately it just boots to the Samsung logo and nothing happens since then.
I wrote to the Samsung support and they told me to send it in. And they also said that I will lose my warranty if I make a hard reset. Is that true? Because the other thing is, that I really need some very important data from just one app. I already did a hard reset in the past and the data from this app didn’t get lost. I don’t know why (no cloud synchronization) but it worked. My plan was to try a hard reset but my phone is fully charged and I cannot turn it off to get into Recovery mode.
So basically I have three questions:
1. Will I lose my warranty if I do a hard reset?
2. Is there any possibility turn off my phone or to unload my battery? (And after that to try a hard reset.)
3. Does anyone have any idea how to save some date by any other way?
Thank you very much for any help!

Samsung are full of sh** if they told you you would lose warranty by performing a full reset, nothing of the sort
Warranty is checked by KNOX 0x0 = valid (Or 0x1 if it is tripped) which is only tripped by flashing something custom / rooting
Try booting into recovery and clearing only the caches, see if you can get back in that way
Otherwise, flashing the same stock ROM over the top with ODIN may work

Thank you for your answer.
Any idea how to boot into recovery mode? The problem is that in the moment I cannot turn off my phone and it's fully charged. I guess it would last some days to wait until the battery is empty. And unfortunately you can't remove the ****ing battery.

Volume up & Home & Power
Keep those buttons held in until the phone reboots, continue holding them and it should reboot a 2nd time, this time hopefully entering recovery
You can try the same for download mode, which is the same combo, only volume down instead of up

I did this combo. Following message did pop up:
"Warning
A custom OS can cause critical problems in phone and installed applications. If you want to download a custom OS, press the volume up key. Otherwise, press the volume down key to cancel."
First i pressed the volume down button and then nothing happened and it booted again until the Samsung logo. In my second try I pressed the volume up button and now I am here (see attached pics).

Well that's download mode where you can flash the stock ROM with ODIN, so you can at least flash stock again, which may work, but I would try recovery first though, the first combo I posted with Volume Up

I tried the combo with the vol up key and I came to the exact same menu which I described above. (Then I pressed the volume down key and the phone boooted to the Samsung logo).
Now only the combo with the vol down key works. If I press vol up + home + power nothing happens. I don't get this ****.

OK, it's possible that recovery got corrupted then
Right, so grab a stock ROM from here
http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=G930F
Extract and Load the .MD5 into ODIN AP section
Put the phone into download mode and hit start
It should reboot hopefully into a working OS
if not, try entering recovery again

No, as I said earlier, warranty is only affected if you flash something custom
Stock Samsung ROMs are not custom

For a very short time my phone startet adnroid, but everyhing was black und I just saw the notifications bar. I couldn't do anything. After that my phone did a reboot and now I am again at the Samsung logo. The combi with vol up still doesn't work.

You managed to download and flash a stock ROM in that short time?
Might need to flash the entire set of files from the ROM download in ODIN, which I think might reset the phone with one of them (HOME I think)
EDIT - Another option would be firmware recovery using SmartSwitch
http://www.samsung.com/uk/smart-switch/samsung-desktop-app.html

Good day.
Recently happened to me something similar, while i was playing, the phone rebooted and got stuck at samsung logo.
The phone was rooted, with TWRP and Xposed.
Really don't know what happened. At the time, in panic, i flashed a stock ROM and the phone never booted again. Just a blank screen and a blue led.
I sent my phone to Samsung for warranty and 1 month later (5 days ago), got it back working, even with KNOX 1x0.
In most of Europe, Samsung cannot charge you anything even if the phone was rooted, with the exception if it was root that directly caused the malfunction.

I am having the same problem. the combo with Vol up does not work. Any further help, PLEASE?

I heard some people have broken power button where the power button is always in the "enabled" state, and that will cause volume buttons to not work. I wonder if you have the same issue though, if thats the case you will have to either replace the power button or send it to Samsung.
I don't have the Nexus S right now, but have to tried the command: adb reboot recovery. Also I thought you can boot directly into recovery by power + volume up.
If your power button is broken you are stuck there on that screen.
Does the phone boot up into the os? If so reboot into recovery from the os. If you flashed a ROM I assume its rooted. Can use any app that allows booting into recovery ( quickboot goomanger ROM manager ROM toolbox etc) or in terminal type such and hit enter. Then type reboot recovery and hit enter.

the problem is the i did a flash a rom and now the rom dont boot up or anything and i did a back up but i cant use the buttons to make a selection to get into recovery over the fast boot as i show in the picture!
the only way i get into the fastboot is holding the volume up and connect the usb into the port and them get into the fast boot screen but no more from there
That's what I figured. At that point you are pretty much screwed,
You need to get the power button to work / unstick so you can fastboot in order to do anything.
Hi there. Have you figure a solution. I ran into the EXACT SAME ****ty situation and samsung says they have no fix no parts for it!

Samsung can fix it if you send it. The solution is to get your power button repaired. There's nothing else to really do.

Unless they got the part, then it's a no. Every so said "solution" ends up failing, you're just pushing a bit the date. Only replacing it really works.
i have temp fix
this is what i did may be you can fix it like this
i take off the battery out,
place back
Hold down volume and power
now connect the usb cable from the pc
keep holding the buttons we dont need to go into bootloader, if you can see the lower lights on you okay
now check the usb icon in your computer and if your computer recognize you are cool
Now before i have this problem i did a back up of my rom and i install touch recovery
now you have to see your options and if you have the twr recovery even better since you can transfer files over your phone while in recovery mod
okay i did install this toolkit
Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.5.4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475
and since my computer recognize the usb and my nexus phone
i did get into reboot recovery mode in the advanced utilities you can figure out the rest since i dont know much!
since i did a back up i just restored and i did flash another rom which let you wake up the phone by the volume key
so i transfer the rom files and flash then while on recovery mode try installing the goomanager to get into recovery since this means your power button dont work
this is the rom
CyberGR-MOD|NS.NGN ver. 14 Hybrid Mix ICS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425344
if you have luck flashing this rom
just go into CyberGR-MOD in the setting section and select lockscreen options and check volume wake
now to lock the phone just install any app from play store like Lock Screen Widget
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.droidmania.lockscreenwidget
and remember if you battery dies, just connect it into charger or usb cord and the phone ll boot again
Hope this help some of you who have this problem
thanks and any question i ll check later!

Don't hold the power button, just home + volume down. Hold those two buttons down, it may reboot a couple times but it should eventually get into download mode.
If not, try home + volume up to get into recovery (stock or twrp, either should work.) From there, try factory reset.

There's an option to flash an update from sdcard in stock recovery. I think it needs to be an OTA update. Not entirely sure, but you could try doing a search for instructions on that.

Samsung Tab s2 SM-T819 flash from Lineage 17.1 to stock - HOW TO?

I bought a used Samsung Tab S2 SM-T819 with Lineage 17.1 already installed.
I would like to install the original stock firmware. Is this possible? If it is, how exactly do I do this?
I apologize if this question has been asked a trillion times, just trying to get the best method to use in 2021. I'm looking for the method with the least chance of bricking the device.
Thanks

Boot the tab to download mode by power+vol down
Flash with Odin.
Thanks for the info.
I followed the instructions on the link you posted.
I used ODIN, everything looked good, I got a green "passed" flash.
The tablet looked like it was rebooting, then "installing security updates" was displayed on the tablet screen for about 20 seconds. It looked like it was rebooting, however the "Samsung" logo on screen is going dim/bright and it will not boot.
I tried holding the power button down for 30 seconds and I can't get it to turn off, or restart.
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks.
update: I can use ODIN to flash other ROMs, but after the flashing process is complete "green passed" light displayed in ODIN, the tablet will not reboot. It hangs at the Samsung splash screen; I've waited about 20 minutes.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

As I said earlier, I can't get into recovery mode, but I can flash ROMs with ODIN all day long?
My procedure for ODIN: click AP > choose downloaded .tar file > click start
The ODIN/flashing process seems to be working fine, I get a "green passed" displayed in ODIN every time a flash is completed.
This is the first time I've flashed an Android device, so I'm not sure what is "normal" to be displayed on the tablet after flash completion. Immediately after flash completion, I'm getting an "system update" then an "erasing" immediately after that, then an infinite "Samsung" is displayed.
Is the "erasing" displayed on the tablet normal?
Thanks for your help
UNCHECK "auto reboot" in Odin
Disconnect when flash complete Do Not Turn The Phone On
Reboot into recovery volume up+home+power
Wipe cache/factory rest
Reboot
Thanks for the info Kenora
I tries what you said, but after the flash completed, I still couldn't get into recovery mode.
When I hold down the volume up+ home+ power nothing happens; the tablet is completely unresponsive to those buttons. I pressed them for about 10 seconds, this should be enough, correct?
I can get into download mode like before, reboot that way, but the same thing as before; it hangs at "Samsung"
When I forced it to reboot, "booting recovery" was displayed in the upper left corner; is this normal?
Hold POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN until the screen goes blank then immediately change to VOL UP whilst still holding the other buttons until recovery boots.
Thanks Kenora,
I'm in recovery mode now.
But, I have another question.
Should I select "wipe data/factory reset"
OR
"Wipe cache partition"

Do both.
Wipe data first then cache i guess just for precaution.

Go to Download mode and flash the stock rom that way
I tried what you said but when I try to reboot into recovery I get a screen with "installing system updates" which changes to "erasing" before it restarts to eventually hang on the Samsung logo. If I then reboot again, I get an error screen with with a fallen droid with yellow exclamation mark and the text "no command". Is there something I need to do in TWRP before flashing the system ROM so that the tablet can boot into the stock rom's recovery without going through the update first?

Samsung A51 Stuck in bootloop, help ASAP

Hello,
Recently ive tried to root my samsung galaxy a51 using this tutorial: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...1-sm-a515f-one-ui-3-0-dub1-android-11.4231543
everything went smoothly, however my finger has slipped from the volume up button at step 6. resulting in an endless bootloop.
ive tried to enter recovery mode, but theres no response, it flashes the logo for 1 second, a warning that says my bootloader is unlocked and that im using unofficial samsung software.
the only response i get from the phone is when i try to enter recovery mode while the phone is charging, i insert the charger, instantly press volume down and the power button and the charging circle appears, when i let go of the volume down and power button it once again starts going into the bootloop mode
ive tried plugging in my phone to my pc but theres no response
i dont believe that its hard bricked because of the charging circle that appears
any advice?
tysm
Let the battery die, and just try to boot to download mode at the instant when it is plugged into a charger.

Hey! I had the same exact issue and have figured a simple method to fix this. Just hold the power button+ the volume down button at the same time while having your phone plugged into any computer or a wall plug (computer recommended).
Once you do that you will notice the phone has shut down and gave you either a black screen or a charging logo, Both are good. Then wait for 1 second then hold down the power button + the volume up button and it should take you straight to the recovery mode options that might look like this.

}
Once you are there, Use the volume up to click reboot system now. However if you see different options it might be because you have another model of android, Older models etc... But if you don't see anything appear you might have corrupted your bootloader or recovery mode menu. I do not know how to fix the corruption but if none of these worked, Try again without a charger. Best of luck.
Hope this helps!!!
Unfortunately, this just happened to me too, also I followed the same thread as mentioned above, However I'm still able to get into twrp recovery after some tries. I will try to flash some ROM maybe it will fix it.

Question Recovery mode OneUI 5

Hi. I try to boot the device to recovery mode but unable to enter recovery mode I'm sure I did the right way as per YouTube a description but still unable. did Samsung change the way to enter recovery mode?
It would be better if you mentioned what exactly you did rather than say you did it correctly. I hope you might knowing, now a days you needs to keep device connected to PC while reboot to recovery.
Power off device , then connect USB C cable to device. I connect my SanDisk SSD to the other end off the cable. It should work also with USB C stick.
Push volume up and power button and hold them till your device boots in recovery mode.
If you connect your device to a laptop ,it may start charging, making it more difficult to enter recovery mode.

In this case, don't power off but connect device to PC and reboot device (force reboot (keep holdingvol down +power) if you are in bootloop ) as soon screen goes blank, hold power + vol up and you will be in twrp
Go into Magisk.

Still the same, simple operation on my SM-S980U1(Android12): turn off the phone, hold both vol+ and power until you see displayed 'Samsung' - let the power button go and after a few seconds(keep pressing vol+) you should see the recovery mode screen right away.
The problem was from the USB cable after changing the cable the device can boot normally to Recovery
Thanks for all I appreciate your responses

Install Magisk anyway. You don't need to root. The options in my post will appear anyway.

My S22 Ultra (still on Android 12) does not require a USB cable to enter recovery. Just hold down volume up and power when turning on the phone.

I never heard it since A12 except, If you flash recovery/CSC OR If you select to reboot to recovery from adb/magisk/TWRP then it auto rboot to TWRP without connecting to PC
In rest of normal condition it does.

Perhaps it is only for people who have TWRP then? OR only Exynos? I have unrooted Snapdragon, and no USB cable is needed to get into recovery.

I don't think so
Which version you have?
Try rebooting to recovery from device booted on system just with combo key and check

I have a factory unlocked S 22 Ultra, model SM-908U1.
Did it yesterday with only using the volume UP button and the power button, in order to clear system cache. Did it again just now. Worked fine, just as it did on Note 10+ and on Note 8, etc.
Turn off phone.
Hold down volume UP button, then hold down power button at the same time.
When "Galaxy" appears (after Samsung), let go of power, but keep holding down volume UP.
After a few more seconds, recovery menu appears.
Phone is stock, purchased a this week. On October 1, 2022 Security patch.
May be it's only on "U" version
