Hey hey,
I received and tried to install an OTA for my GS7 this morning, but unfortunately it failed (stuck for several hours at 76%).
Now when I restart, the phone stays on the GS7 logo, that's about it. I cannot switch it off (not even when keeping the power button down for >1min), but can force restart (vol down + power) and enter download mode (vol down + home + power). The most annoying part is that I cannot enter the recovery mode (vol up + home + power as far as I know) after a forced restart. I tried to let the battery die, and use the same combo before plugging in the phone, but didn't help.
Any clue without me going to a samsung repair shop (which are closed this weekend).
For info, was running stock M on my Canadian GS7 (Rogers).
Thanks in advance for any tip!

Use the Kies 3 software from samsung. As long as you have your S/N and Model # and can boot into download mode you can get reset and on the newest firmware within 20 minutes
Thanks for info!
So I tried that, but the phone still stays on the Samsung logo after the upload..
Explain in detail your procedure
Sure thing:
- enter download mode on the phone by using volume down + home + power. I have to keep them all at the same time to force the reboot and enter the mode (actually restarts twice most of the times before it works). Once the screen is there, accept using volume up.
- Installed latest Smart Switch, verified it's latest.
- connect phone (nothing detected here, even when outside of download mode)
- went to 'emergency software recovery and initialization'
- again, device doesn't get listed here (even when outside of download mode)
- select device initialization, entered model name and S/N
- started the intialization procedure, which downloaded successfully and updated the phone successfully (so it reads). Phone did show progress bar during the update.
- phone rebooted by itself, and back to square one, on a stuck GS7 logo.
Do you have samsung usb drivers installed?
I tried on PC earlier today, yup, drivers were installed. Also tried the Smart Switch 'reinstall drivers'. Before this issue, I was able to connect to the phone properly (same USB port etc)
Now on Mac and fresh install, did the Smart Switch 'reinstall drivers' (after two tests of re-initializaton). Didn't change a thing.
Hmm Def strange. I have had many s7 bricks..hard and soft. Aswell as bootloops but I have always been able to fall back on smartswitch. I suggest you to try kies 3 and if that doesnt work..find stock firmware on sammobile and flash using odin. ( risk of ruining you device involve when using odin. )
Thanks for the tips, will try that!
Hi,
I've been running a custom Rom on my Android without any trouble. I've never had an issue rebooting it. Today, I accidentally clicked Reboot Recovery instead of Reboot and it's been stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S7 Logo for half an hour. I've tried pressing Vol+ / Vol- / Power / Home together to force it off. It reboots and still stays stuck on the Logo. I'm unable to get into Download Mode and I'm unable to get into Recovery Mode.
I'm wondering what I can do to fix this?
Make it reboot, and as soon as your screen turns black switch to holding volume up and home (Not the power button).
You should be able to reach download mode.
Hi everyone
I have Samsung c7000. The issue was that my power button was not working while the phone is on. Means it does't on off screen but if i want to go to recovery it goes as well as in download mode.
So i decided to flash it .
As i flashed it it gives xemi write error and cancel the software installation .
I have tried more then 13 files but all in vain
And the main problem now is that it does't stop in download mode or in recovery mode
As i take it in recovery or download mode it restarts automatically after 4 to 6 seconds.
And while am in recovery mode the volume button works but the power button again does't work..
Anyone Know's what to do know ?????
Apparently i really cant seem to boot my Galaxy S6( duos) nto download mode at all i have made sure all the buttons work (home, volume down, power) the wierd thing here is my volume up dosent work when the phone is on but works when booting into recovery yet my volume down works when the phone is on but i cant boot into download mode....theres also the fact that the phone takes about 6 hours to charge and cant get recognised by a pc...i even tried to boot into recovery and select reboot to bootloader it just says rebooting to bootloader and then restarts the phone normally.....it is on 6.0.1 marshmallow its also on stock fimware cause i still see otas...help me please
try to reset the phone
from recovery
Hello
My stock A515F/DS received an OTA about 3 days ago. After it restarted to finish the update, it got stuck in the boot logo. It will reboot on itself from time to time, and I was able to reboot it manually by pressing vol down + power, but I can't get into recovery or donwload mode (by pressing vol up as soon as it reboots). The screen flickers for a moment, but it reboots again. We are under quarantine by federal law so I can't get my phone to samsung. Is there any way you guys know to flash it without going into recovery/download mode? I don't mind losing my data, everything is on my drive account, I just want my phone again
Thanks in advance
I think there is no way without entering in download mode or bootloader. Try with this:
When the phone is on, no matter which state, press Vol down + power until it reboots. As soon as the screen goes black, change to Vol. up+power. If this is successful, you can then select Reboot to bootloader to enter in download mode.
If this doesn't work, the next solution is waiting the end of quarantine
