Hello,
I have Samsung Duos 2 two years ago, and rooted it 1 year ago via Odin with a rom i dont remember the name, it was working perfectly until yesterday I was customizing it "using only OS built in settings, no 3rd party apps" Suddenly the phone turned off and restarted, then stuck at the samsung logo. I think it went a soft brick!
I tried wiping cash but it give an error. I don't care for the phone, I i have photos "very important" and whatsapp/SMS messages "less important" that I want to recover them.
question1: if I re-rom it via Odin, will this wipe my data [photos/messages]?
question2: I read a post that factory reset only wipe apps and app data but no personal data, I want a confirm.
thanx in advance

No re-rom wont wipe the data and will most probably fix the bootloop if it does not then you will have to flash the stock firmware via odin.
And you read wrong i guess it wipes almost everything and mostly factory reseting wont fix bootloop. Btw i recommend waiting atleast 5 mins for the phone to boot to conform whether its bootlooped or not (my personal experience of thinking i got a bootloop after flashing somethin but the next time i did it i waited and there was no bootloop). One last thing was the Rom like stock ? If yes then its a prerooted firmware i guess.
btw do you have twrp? Its not necessary but if u have twrp tell me.

Hey
I can help you with the recovery things stored in internal storage:
download TWRP, flash it via odin: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24572369360126141
now go to recovery mode, plug it to your computer, you will found the device as MTP and have internal storage exposed, you can grab files from there

thanx for the reply, I did waited for the phone to boot for a couple of hours! and it 100% bootlooped and the phone was rooted with a rom like stock.
by mentioning twrp, i will give it a try.
one last question because I was willing to do that now, I was downloading the original firmware from samsung will this be a flashing or romming, i am kinda new to these things.

when you writing firmware/recovery to your phone, it's called flashing, by flashing stock rom you will not losing data unless you do a factory reset in recovery
glad i could help!

I mentioned above I am new to these android stuff, sorry for annoying you and thanks for your replies.
Download stock firmware on: http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=Gt-s7582
And flash it in Odin like you've flash the TWRP
After flash finished, go to stock recovery and factory reset

Using the stock firmware or the Rom you ussd before is the solution dont use any other rom and if flashing the firmware didnt fix you should try wiping system using twrp and then flash the stock firmware again

you should have download mode even have TWRP flashed
remove battery, put battery in, hold HOME + volume down + power button, after phone boot up then it will show warning message, press volume up to enter download mode then you can flash stock rom using odin

Hi guys, I have had Xperia C from about 2 days. I wanted to root it to change the system fonts and I did root it successfully. But when i replaced the system fonts using ROM TOOLBOX, the phone was stuck at the boot animation.
I do a hard reset by entering recovery mode, but nothing was changed, the phone is still stuck at the boot animation.
Can someone help me please??
Have you tried flashing the phone?
Did you take a backup of your ROM at any point?

You could try putting the phone into download mode, and then use a flash tool (developer.sonymobile com/downloads/tool/flash-tool-for-xperia-devices/) to flash the phone back to stock.
This is a stock ROM: 4shared com/rar/wdOnCZw4/xperia_c_c2305_sony html
It may not be the stock ROM for your phone, you'll need to make sure it's 2305..

You could call it flash mode I guess, yeah.
But before trying a full flash, try going into recovery mode and selecting Wipe data/factory reset.
This will fix problems 99% of the time.
Also, I found a video that might aid you. I haven't watched it, but by the title it seems like it could help you.

EFS is the one partition you don't want messed up. It contains the IMEI info for your phone.
First things first: you should try to do a factory reset from the stock recovery you have installed now and see if it boots.
If this fails, then: do you have any NANDROID backups made with CWM recovery? If you do, did you also backup the EFS partition? If you did, try to restore a full NANDROID backup and you should be fine.
If you somehow get your phione to boot up and you can't get a network signal, then it means you EFS partition (and IMEI) is corrupted. If you don't have a backup for that, the only solution is going to a phone service repair shop (at least I don't know of any way to recover that without a backup).
Good luck

No. You'd screw things further. Don't flash backups from other devices. The IMEI is unique for each device.
Did you try the factory reset from the recovery you have now?

I don't know. Try it. I think there was an option for it.
You could also try reflashing stock firmware with Odin. If everything fails, I suggest taking it to the nearest phone service repair shop. Restoring the IMEI is a more complex operation. I think a JTAG is required. Not sure though.
Good luck

I do not have the time unfortunately to go into details. But please search on google: "Odin explanation" or something like that. A good example:
http://donandroid.com/understanding-odin-a-beginners-guide-on-odin-buttons-checkboxes-629
Unfortunately like I said, none of the available options can help you.
And never try to use Re-partition unless you really know what you're doing. That repartitions your internal memory to a different layout (like number of partitions and sizes) and requires a PIT file specific to your device.
In the future, always make full NANDROID backups before flashing anything. This will also backup your EFS partition. There are also applications like this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ma.wanam.efs
And many more examples which I am sure you can find on XDA in your device specific forum. This way, if your EFS ever becomes corrupted, you can easily restore it to a working condition.
Cheers.

Means you're having exactly the same problem I had.I tried different ways and techniques to fix it but none worked.Then finally I fixed it by just flashing my device's stock firmware. But still there may be another simpler fix for your particular device so just try googling around the internet, mentioning your device and its problem, if nothing works then just flash it's stock firmware. But just in case you don't know how to, just take it to the nearest Samsung service centre and hopefully the guys there will flash its stock firmware. Just for your information, before I manually tried flashed the stock firmware, I also did take my device to a service centre first, but they found out it was rooted and they said they couldn't fix it and they said that the only way it was to replace its motherboard, which costs more than half the phone's total price. But when I took it home I finally decided to flash the firmware manually and thus, the device is up and running again.

You'll have to flash stock firmware first via odin then flash a custom rom...unless your particular custom rom requires the /system partition to be formatted first, then you don't have to flash stock..hope this helps..

How can I formate /system partition??
So yesterday i done a pretty stupid thing of restarting my phone after I hid my SU binary using hide my root. This left what i think was a soft-brick as it was stuck on the samsung animation. I then stupidly enough got confused with my TWRP recovery menu and ended up wiping out my OS, leaving only the TWRP recovery on the phone. I then decided to download a 6.1.1 stock rom for my SM-G920F. When i tried flashing however, somehow ODIN froze and i made another stupid mistake of restarting my phone from download mode which resulted in the phone being froze on a screen saying " an error has occurred while updating the device software use the emergency recovery function s6 " cant provide an image as this is my first post, but please google the error message if you wish to see it
So i panicked thinking my phone was dead completely and surrendered, but today i managed to hook it up to TWRP and flashed the recovery. Now when i bootup i can access download mode and it boots straight to recovery. To make matters worse I began trying to download the original rom i recieved when i got the phone, however when i try flashing i get errors such as " SW rev, Check Fail: 'x' binary 'y' device "
(x and y vary for each stock rom i tried flashing.)
I have no way of finding out my firmware, bootloader info or anything. Is there ANY fix to this? I've made a huge mess of everything and I'm now desperate. Please, any advice would be a god-send. Thank you for withstanding this crappy post, I'm kind of a noob at xda.
EDIT 1- So I managed to install a custom ROM and kernal as i could transfer files while in TWRP for some reason but a new problem has showed up. So as of right now I have a custom rom installed which works, but when reboot my phone, TWRP is automatically opened after the initial samsung logo. I usually have to reflash my custom ROM (without wiping any data besides cache and dalvik) and the ROM installer will then reboot into the ROM, however this means when my phone turns off, my recovery is booted up instead of the ROM
I'm sensing some sort of Bootloader problem?

So while in Download mode are you not able to Flash Stock ROM (downloaded from samfirmware) via ODIN (following the instructions on the site)?
In TWRP are you not able to flash a custom ROM (probably with OTG cable if you dont have the ROM stored on the internal memory).
Any issues i have had i have always been able to do at least one of the above methods. If you cant do either or, im not sure what else i would try.
Thanks

So yesterday i done a pretty stupid thing of restarting my phone after I hid my SU binary using hide my root. This left what i think was a soft-brick as it was stuck on the samsung animation. I then stupidly enough got confused with my TWRP recovery menu and ended up wiping out my OS, leaving only the TWRP recovery on the phone. I then decided to download a 6.1.1 stock rom for my SM-G920F. When i tried flashing however, somehow ODIN froze and i made another stupid mistake of restarting my phone from download mode which resulted in the phone being froze on a screen saying " an error has occurred while updating the device software use the emergency recovery function s6 " cant provide an image as this is my first post, but please google the error message if you wish to see it
So i panicked thinking my phone was dead completely and surrendered, but today i managed to hook it up to TWRP and flashed the recovery. Now when i bootup i can access download mode and it boots straight to recovery. To make matters worse I began trying to download the original rom i recieved when i got the phone, however when i try flashing i get errors such as " SW rev, Check Fail: 'x' binary 'y' device "
(x and y vary for each stock rom i tried flashing.)
I have no way of finding out my firmware, bootloader info or anything. Is there ANY fix to this? I've made a huge mess of everything and I'm now desperate. Please, any advice would be a god-send. Thank you for withstanding this crappy post, I'm kind of a noob at xda.

If you boot in TWRP recovery it can be soved easily.
1)first try do wipe data and internal partition.And then try flashing stock firmware with odin(download proper file basing on ur model)
2)U may download a rom for ur model and flash using twrp.then if u want u can stay with the rom,i u dont u can try to flash again with odin after installing rom

'Device not recognised' fixed it though. Flashed custom ROM with TWRP
Emergency recovery will and should help.
Hello. I'm sorry for my bad English.
I have a big problem and I need help:
I own the S8 + SM-G955F and tried twrp and root.
Unfortunately I managed to flash twrp over odin, but they do not touch the screen.
So I downloaded the original firmware and try to flashing over the odin, but unfortunately the firmware can not flash. The message still shows fail.
Please do what I want to do, thank you in advance for help.
Edit:
I am in twrp recovery, i can touch in twrp but dont work nothing, setup dont save like language,time and other, can not wipe nothing, if i flash custom rom dont boot to system, nothing nothing.
Please help, thanks

If you are going back to stock use the same version as the one you have been using.

But a dont know, where a found it, i am lost in this stock roms
EDIT:
Bootloader I have unlocked if it unlocks on the phone in the developer options section and tick the OEM, so I have it right.
I managed to install the TWRP Recovery, where everything worked, I also flashed superSU and after the restart, my phone either stops on the introductory samsung logo (without animation), or starts booting, but it pops out to me, that recovery has failed, the device can not be restarted. The integrity check failed. You must reset the default device settings. This will erase all your data. And completely down in the middle of the screen was displayed the reset dialog, when I clicked on it, the phone went into restart stay on the opening logo (samsung galaxy s8 +) and nothing goes wrong. Twrp can not be reached after the combination of buttons to enter the recovery.
So I'm back at zero again
