Phone NOT booting \ going to dl mode , only stuck at recovery splash screen - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

hello .
I recently tried formatting the system partition - using exFAT - and it was stuck in "updating partition details" . (the reason i tried doing it is because of the encryption which i haven't been able to remove .)
I fell asleep waiting for it to finish and the next day my phone died (battery done .)
i tried entering twrp again - but it's stuck on splashscreen until battery dies again \ not connected to usb cable .
i tried entering download mode - but it sends me back to twrp's splashscreen .
i can't boot to system at all and \ or charge my phone (because there is no system . *wiped .)
i'm assuming the phone is soft-bricked . can someone please help me ?
UPDATE : Odin recognizes my phone while stuck on splash screen . trying to flash now official firmware
UPDATE EDIT : i was stupid . it recognizes the device but does not let me flash anything (not in dl mode.)
need help urgently
FINAL EDIT : I MANAGED TO ENTER DL MODE . flashed stock with odin , rooted , twrped , installed a new ROM , and done .
can close the topic now .

What key combo are you using to get into download mode.

I had this problem before as well. If I remember correctly I had to hold all the buttons at once, then when it reset(It never stayed off it always restarted) I immediately hit Vol Down + Home + Power for download mode. But it took about 10 tries of restarting before it finally let me into download mode.
I will try to find the article for you.

[Q] Is my device bricked? Sidekick 4g

I am using samsung sidekick 4g . had the glorious overdose v3.3( lean performance) rom installed and i wanted to use the v3.2(bulky essentials) . I placed the zip file to root of the sd card and tried booting into recovery. I got the red (bali) recovery and i tried to wipe user data and rebooted the device . It would stay on the boot screen and wouldn't go further . I got the phone in download mode and tried odin for kd1 and one click for kg2 (as i was not sure of what to do). Both of them didn't seem to solve the issue. A couple of tries later , I could not even get the download mode working . Now when i power on the phone normally, it shows a logo like a triangle with an exclamation between a phone and a pc. . The image is like shown below. Please help me . Thanks.

Stuck in Boot screen and download mode - NO recovery mode.

Hello i'm new on this forum,
I have got an Samsung GALAXY S6 ( SM-G920F ), a week ago i was using it and it suddenly shut down. and rebooted but got stuck in the Samsung Galaxy S6 Boot screen.
The problem is :
- I can only boot into Download mode
- booting into Recovery mode is impossible, i have tried all the possible ways.
I have tried flashing it with the plenty of stock firmwares :
- For most of them, it fails at the hidden.img
- I have found one that works great, Sucess at the end of flashing but after rebooting the phone get stuck in boot screen or downloand mode, AGAIN ... ( and the same happens if i unzip and remove the hidden file and then put back to MD5 and use it to flash ).
So, any solutions from you guys ? I have heard that since it's going into download mode or boot screen it's not a hardware problem and it's only "bricked". have been reading that since it's booting, it's better than not booting at all.
I also heard that this problem might be resolved by rooting the device.
HEEEELP !
PS : My phone shut down suddenly, so i'm not sure the developper mode is activated or the USB debugging is on...

Very unusual behavior Galaxy S6 G920F (Europe)

Hello guys ,
I am using rooted Galaxy S6 since 2 years , with a strange kind of rooting features , it means i have the SuperSU installled and
working for all apps , including Root Explorer and Titanium Backup , but i was never able to load a costum recovery such as TWRP or Clockworkmod.
Because i was to lazy to digg after the issue , reset and retry. etc.
Android Version : 5.1.1
Kernel version : [email protected] #1
Baseband :G920FXXU2COH2
After 2 years of problemless using , while set my phone for charging it entered a start screen with the samsung logo
and a red little writing message : Kernel is not seandroid enforcing.
I could enter download modus , try to reboot , every time the device either remains stuck on the samsung logo ,
either sometimes tries to boot the Android but remains stuck halfaway , sometimes with a loop af the bootmusic , the only way to
make it shut up was V- PWR-Home to enter the download mod. After a couples of tries i managed to enter the recovery screen , wiped cache and rebooted , same curious behavior.
After almost 3 hours of playing arround , try to charge , wireless or wired it works , but i never had the feeling that the device was real shut down and powered off.
I thought i would never be able to restart the device again. Somehow i thought to wipe cache one more time and then , from the recovery mod i choose power down
and then put it on wireless charging. After 45% it restarted itself properly and now it is online and charging .
Every advice or suggestions are welcome.
Thank you in advance.

so i tried to flash it with odin i downloaded firmware from sammobile then after 4-7 hours of trying to get to download mode (it just won't get to download mode) i manged to get it there but my computer (odin) didn't recognize after a few tries it detected the phone so i pressed start on odin so when odin started to flash the disconnected it self from my pc and odin gave me fail on system flashing .... now when i try to boot the device it gives me this (an error has occurred while updating the device software use the emergency software recovery function in the smart switch pc software ) and then i installed smart switch on pc but it required a recovery code that i don't have .... so i searched the web i see there is a device initialization tab on smart switch (the tab i don't have and after few searches found that Samsung has stopped this tab) ... so now what is i'm going to do what is the solution ???
-can't open recovery nor download mode
- can't boot normally
-only showing (an error has occurred while updating the device software use the emergency software recovery function in the smart switch oc software )
thank you for your time

Stuck on TWRP's "teamwin" loading screen after years of working normally and no changes

Hello, I've been using this phone for more than a few years now. Reflashed the system a few times over the years and was currently on Ivan_Meler's amazing LineageOS 18.
I saw that a bug on his 19.1 version I was experiencing was potentially fixed, so I started preparing to switch to that.
First order of business was going to recovery and doing a full backup, I had gone into recovery not too long ago.
Except I got boot looped instantly.
The current situation is:
- Model is SM-G930F
- The device is rooted
- Device will not stay turned off, if I force turn off with volume down + power it reboots instead
- Device is able to get into download mode and it seems to work normally
- Device will always boot to recovery, except when I ask to boot to download mode by volume down + power + home (not sure if there is a button combination for specifically booting to system, lmk If there is)
Things I already tried:
- Letting the battery run out completely to hopefully clear some cache -> Device tries to boot to recovery as soon as I plug the charger in
- Using ADB during the stuck splash screen -> Device eventually gets recognized by windows but it throws the generic "Your USB device malfunctioned" error, ADB doesn`t recognize it.
- Rebooting by launching a harmless command in Heimdell -> Device reboots but nothing else changes, still stuck.
- Letting battery run out at different stages, like in the stuck teamwin splashscreen, in the warning message before download mode and in download mode -> nothing changes
Additional information from the moment I tried to get to recovery and got stuck:
- I fat fingered "reboot" instead of turning off the phone, so I just held down volume up + home to get into recovery (I had already done this successfully before).
- My phone has USB debugging turned on
- My phone was plugged to my PC in USB Tethering mode when I tried to get to recovery
- My phone was set to use USB Tethering mode by default when plugged via USB, because I use that function a lot.
- My PC had the ADB server running, but was not actively running anything on device at the time.
I remember having been stuck in this same situation before and being able to recover it without losing data. But I have no recollection of how I did it.
If there was a way to make my phone stop trying to reboot and just turn off, im sure that
I would be able to boot into system, because i dont see how anything could've gotten messed up there since the phone rebooted normally and wasn`t reflashed or anythng
I really didn't want to have to wipe it, since my last full backup was a few months ago.
Do you guys have any suggestions? I was thinking of trying to flash back the exact same TWRP version through Odin, without flashing anything else. And seeing if that fixes it since the version is shown in the teamwin loading screen, would that be safe?
Hi, any progress ? I'm in the very similar situation, but flashing the same TWRP with Odin didn't help and I'm still stuck on TWRP logo. And adb doesn't see the device (neither when I'm in download mode nor when I'm on TWRP logo)
Is the device softbricked?
