Product Name: SM-G930A (Galaxy S7)
Carrier: AT&T
I am unable to get into recovery mode to wipe the cache and do a factory reset.
By pressing the key combination (Home + VolUp + Power), I am able to trigger the message "Recovery Boot....", however right after that instead of going into Recovery Mode it immediately restarts back to the splash screen and loops.
(Buttons do not appear to be stuck)
I can get into download mode. I have tried using Odin to reflash the rom using the rom I used before. However, this doesn't change the experience I described above. I have let the phone die out completely and powered on to the same experience. I am unable to remove the battery on the Galaxy S7. The phone is rooted. I did have on Xprivacy and Xposed. I was also working with SetCPU and other apps to improve the speed the night before. I was under the impression though that I can always wipe the whole thing clean and start again.
Please help me out of this loop.

I flashed a rom using the guidance of the Samsung Galaxy S3 toolkit. Everything went well--until the rom--which is the Ilusion v2.0 [4.2.2], (found in the Sprint Galaxy S3 Android Development section)--got stuck in an endless animation right hefore the phone fully restarted to the home screen.
It's just stuck in this endless animation, like it's perpetually loading.
It's very frustrating. I want to restore the entire thing to its factory setting. Is there anyway to do this using Odin? Maybe when the phone is in Odin Mode?

First before you return to stock I would recommend fully powering the device off and then booting into recovery mode by holding the power button + home button + volume up button until you feel a vibration and see some small blue text in the upper left hand corner of your phone's screen, then continue holding the home button + volume up button until you enter recovery mode. Once in recovery mode select the option's to wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, and perform a factory reset. After you have done those three things select the "reboot system now" option and the phone should then reboot and power on normally and enter into Android no longer getting stuck on the boot animation. If you do however want to return to complete stock you use Odin to flash the stock firmware for your phone which can be downloaded from here I would reccomend checking outthis video on how to re-flash the stock firmware for the Sprint Galaxy S3.

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
My phone is Galaxy S7 SM-G930F on stock Rom, bootloader,,,etc. Never flashed or rooted. During a call it froze and rebooted into Download mode.
Since then I am unable to reboot to any mode but Download mode. It exits by pressing power and down or all buttons together but boots only into download mode.
Before that I noticed that the phone was becoming hot during calls and battery life was much shorter.
Any Help with this problem?
Thanks
Try flashing the same ROM to the phone using Odin.
Sounds like you need to reflash the stock rom via Odin, but before you do that last thing to try before going down that route is to boot into recovery and do a wipe/reset. Be aware doing either of the aforementioned options will unfortunately mean loosing all your user data and apps.
I can't tell from your post but it seems that your handset seems to not want to stay off after pressing the power and volume down buttons? If this is the case then do the following to get into recovery -
Press power and volume down untill the phone powers off, then very quickly press and HOLD the "volume up, power and home" buttons to get into recovery before the phone has a chance to reboot. Then you will see the reset option to set the phone back to factory defaults.
If the above doesn't work then your gonna have to download the latest version of the stock rom from sammobile for your country and then follow this little guide on how to flash a stock tom via odin.
You could also try using Reiboot for Android to exit Download mode in one click. You can find it here: https://www.tenorshare.com/products/reiboot-for-android.html
Pretty sure I can't do anything at this point, but just wanted to give it one last try. My problem was after I flashed TWRP I went into TWRP recovery mode and did a factory reset. I booted into system and it was just loading with the phrase "starting android" so i decided to go into recovery mode and wipe everything (i know i'm an idiot). It's my first time doing this so yea... but moving on I thought that would solve the problem but now I have a bootloop because i had also wiped system and basically i'm ****ed. I tried going into recovery mode and download mode again but i couldn't because of the bootloop. Tried combinations like volume up + power button, volume up + volume down + power button, volume down + power button. When it's in bootloop it shows "samsung galaxy s10" logo (not the "samsung" logo) and then a warning saying i have the bootloader unlocked and then another "samsung galaxy s10" logo with the warning/sign saying "The phone is not running Samsung's official software. You may have problems with features or security. and you won't be able to install software updates.".

nvm, i accidentally got into download mode and followed a yt vid online and it worked.
