Hard Bricked S7 After Stuck on Samsung Logo - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hey guys,
I flashed DARKLORD's S8 port yesterday evening. Everything was perfect. However, I noticed that the ROM was rooted with SuperSU system-less and thus didn't pass SafetyNet. I wanted to install Magisk in order to get Magisk Hide and pass SafetyNet. So I checked which kernel the ROM used. It was SuperStock 2.5.0.
I downloaded a clean, non-rooted SuperStock 2.5.0 kernel and flashed it through the recovery in order to get rid of SuperSU. The next reboot took really long. I went to bed after waiting for 30min, leaving the phone plugged in and on the Samsung boot logo with the typical blue notification LED that shines when the phone powers on. When I woke up the next morning, I noticed that the notification LED had turned off, but the Samsung logo was still there. I force rebooted the phone with the power-volumedown-homebutton combination. I noticed that it took quite long for the phone to turn back on again after the screen went black (10 seconds or so). I went into recovery and flashed DARKLORD's ROM again in order to get the original, working kernel back. Halfway through the flashing process the phone turned off and now it's dead.
I plugged it in for an hour, nothing. Not even the notification LED turns on when plugging it in. I can't get into download mode or recovery, I can't do anything.
Is my only option to send it to Samsung or is there any other way to get it to work again? Thank you in advance!

Can you Boot into Download Mode or TWRP Recovery? If Recovery isn't working for you - Boot into Download Mode and use Odin to Flash the Stock Firmware - And extracted then Flash TWRP img.tar with Odin and go from there.
Edit: just re-read your post and you are certain that you can't get into Download Mode? Have you tried to only Press Power and Volume Down as well?

I tried everything. Nothing worked, it did nothing. As I said, not even the LED turned red when I plugged it in. In the end, I went to a Samsung support center and they replaced it. Apparently it was so broken that they couldn't even find out that it had Knox 0x1....

Hmmm sounds like a plan :good: when something happens to knox 0x1 device hard brick it to still have warranty.

[Q] Bricked GT-P5113

I was trying to root my Galaxy Tab 2 for the first time. The process started, but failed. Now I'm stuck on the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" screen. The device will turn off and back on, but remains on error screen. Seems to be trapped in download mode (as I can still see the download progress bar). Go Mobile and Odin say the device has connected to PC.
Anyone know of anything to fix this? Should I just revert to stock ROM and try again later?

can you actually boot in to download mode? power and vol down after power off? I know you say it seems to trapped in download mode but they're different! If you can, flash a stock rom from sammobile.com

I cannot boot into download mode. When I turn it off, it simply flashes off for a few secs then goes back to the error screen on its own. Does the same thing when I turn it back on myself. No logo screen. No droid. Nothing.
EDIT: Unplugged device entirely and retried the stock ROM in Odin. Finally worked! Looks like it might be fixed now.

I think my cord might have an issue (or they're just testy in general). I was noticing the battery wasn't fully charging for a while before all this. After the whole brick issue, I plugged it in to charge and it started flashing the "loading charge (empty battery + loading circle)" screen on and off until I unplugged and re-plugged it. I suspect that this is why the rooting failed in the first place.
Hi you may use cf auto root for gt p5113 with odin.this happend to me couple days ago.

I also bricked my tablet. Searched wide and low for ideas on how to fix. But I can't find a thing. I cannot get into Odin mode or recovery. Just hangs on the battery charging screen. My windows 7 computer can't even recognize it in Kies or odin. Yes the tablet is rooted.

I don't get into download mode at the first try i keep trying many times, maybe it's the same thing for you too. apparently i need to flash stock rom with odin on download mode, that's what you should do too if you get to download mode.

Noobie here, and not sure if I know enough to make much sense.
I had a similar situation occur today.
New to me but a 2nd hand p600 which rooted today and then I used Odin 3.10.6 to flash TWRP and found myself in a boot loop similar to the description.
I panicked bigtime and feverishly googled my way to to this message thread and my hopes were raised when I read the OPs message and then got dashed to find no solution posted .
After perhaps 20 attempts of getting combined button pushes and releases correct. (it never happened ) I was desperately trying almost anythiing and then got to TWRP File manager, then Reboot, then System, then Normal Reboot and finally Success! I got the regular reboot. Phew!
Hope it helps
Well, I let it sit over the weekend and the battery complete depleted. I was then able to get into TWRP and Download mode when I applied power, I have since flashed a new rom and whewwww, up and running again. Before the battery went dead, it wouldn't do anything but reboot.....

Plz help, samsung galaxy s7 edge is on continous boot loop

how to i fix my samsung galaxy s7 edge from boot loop
Enter recovery, power and volume up.
Enviado do meu SM-G935F através de Tapatalk
You need to know the button combos.
S6 + S7 Button Combos
If you are in a bootloop, press Power + Vol down simultaneous to force a reboot and when it reboots switch fast to Power + Home + Vol up to go into recovery where you can restore or flash a new rom.
Or you go into Download mode with Power + Home + Vol down in the same way and flash a stock rom over Odin. :highfive:

I've got same issue here. Phone is in continuous boot loop.
no root, no custom rom, hell I just received the phone a day ago... after initial set up I restarted the phone. The device is stuck in boot loop since...
I tried flashing latest stock ROM including Bootloader and CSC via Odin... I get a PASS! but stay in bootloop
Any suggestions? Very frustrating...
My S7e (AT&T) all of a sudden started soft-rebooting yesterday. It would do this about every 60 seconds.
I powered off, waited 30 seconds, and powered back on. No more reboots.
Not sure what happened to cause the reboots, but a hard boot seemed to fix it.

Got it with a contract, pretty sure they will send it in instead of giving me a new one. But it looks like i do might have to send it in ... although I really, really prefer not to. It is easter holidays, so shops closed, but even when they reopen... I'd be left without a phone for the time
Have you tried Kies? That would be official.

Blue light Brick [XPosed]

Aloha guys,
I was trying to install Xposed and, regrettably, I didn't look into it as much as I should've before trying to install it; I'm inexperienced with all this.
Long story short, I installed the apk, went to install the framework through TWRP and then when I tried to restart the phone afterwards, it will show the Samsung screen and then a pulsating Blue LED light with a pitch black screen. From there, I am able to get it back into Odin mode and TWRP but I havent been able to get the phone to actually restart. I have no clue, but maybe I didnt install the correct framework? I just chose the most recent version in Arm64 v. 86. Super worried here that I ruined my phone and would appreciate any suggestions!
Mahalo
Model: SMG92P
Build: F2
Firmware: 6.0.1

Okay, I appreciate the link. Are you saying my solution is the "adb logcat" ? Is my issue considered a bootloop?
Really appreciate it.
I'm saying you installed the wrong version of Xposed.
There's a flashable zip to uninstall Xposed in the link I provided. Flash it, then flash the correct Xposed zip, and hope for the best.

Managed to do the same thing to my S6 trying to install Xposed for the first time, phone was rooting using Odin3
CF-Auto-Root-zeroflte-zerofltexx-smg920f.tar
Installed XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk & TWRP via Flashy, restarted and used xposed-v86-sdk23-arm64.zip but black screen with bluelight on reset, managed to enter recovery mode after learning how to do it but it's the default samsung one it seems, no idea where TWRP went?
Any idea what to do?
Tried clearing the cache and formatting with the default recovery thing still won't load please don't tell me i bricked this thing
Edit* Managed to fix it by using Odin3 to restore original firmware but i'm not sure what i did wrong in the first place to cause it to hang if anyone can glance at the filenames above it's all correct right? perhaps it's because i didnt uhh, deodox or whatever it's called? seems so hard just to get this framework running ugh!
And how do i make it so TWRP stays, seems i had to keep flashing it to use it? seems i triggred my KNOX void status to 1 also messing with Odin3 ah well!
you need to use ODIN to restore the phone, after that it should boot. As for twrp, install via ODIN and boot into recovery immediately. if you install twrp then boot to android it will automatically replace it with the stock recovery. On first boot TWRP patches the phone so it doesn't get replaced.
And use the S6 version of Xposed that Wanam created. See my link above.

Thanks guys, ended up going with "XtreStoLite-ROM-3.3.1-DPDP.zip" because i didn't know if "CF-Auto-Root-zeroflte-zerofltexx-smg920f.tar.md5" was deodoxd or whatever
was able to boot with this, but "xposed-v86-sdk23-arm64.zip" created a bootloop, uninstalling with TWRP and running "xposed-uninstaller-20150831-arm64.zip" solved it
"xposed-v86.0-sdk23-arm64-custom-build-by-wanam-20160709.zip" didn't cause a bootloop and i finally managed to get onto the phone!
Sorry for the long file names just hoping it helps someone else it appears i voided my KNOX warranty thing by using Odin, oops it's not even a very old phone either i'm just hoping now the above stuff doesn't comprimise my phone and contain anything like keyloggers ect!
Hi gents.
Few minutes ago I managed to perform same mistake here.
Now,my phone displays only SAMSUNG label and blue LED is on.
Both of those are slowly "breathing" repeatedly.
I am not able to switch the phone off,in order to enter recovery or download.
How did you managed to get into download mode?
Very long power hold doesn't work.
Thank you,Tomas.
Edit>
Nevermind,I managed to power it off.
Here are some tips:
1. Simulated battery removal:Hold Vol.Down+Power
2. Entering download mode: Hold Vol.Down+Home+Power,confirm by Vol.Up
3. Recovery: Hold Vol.Down+Home+Power to get into download mode,don't confirm download by Vol.Up button. Then hit the Vol.Down button(Cancel) and immediately hold Vol.Up+Home+Power
In recovery,there is an option to turn off the device,what stops to drain the battery.
Hey there,
i managed to get the same error on my phone
Yesterday i installed xposed, now its stuck with a blackscreen and the blue LED, or sometimes with the Samsung Sign and blue LED.
I tried to flash the stock firmware with Odin 3.12 but it fails with a write error after a few seconds. I already tried to wipe and clear cache in recovery.
So can you guys give me any idea how i can get my phone to boot again? :/
Thanks:fingers-crossed:

S7 is dead. Help Please!!!!

I have a Verizon Galaxy S7 that I rooted and have been using on T-Mobile. With the new T-Mobile nougat coming out yesterday I tried flashing the new update using Odin. When I tried to flash via Odin it showed failed and my phone was stuck on download mode. So I trying rebooting using the Power + Volume Down and that's when i realized that the phone has been hard bricked. I don't have anything but black screen. When I try to get into recovery it shows "Rebooting Recovery" and then black screen again. Can someone please help me unbrick this phone? Is there anyway to boot from sdcard? Any way to get into a safe mode or something like that?

No I can't get into download mode. Otherwise I would've done exactly what you said. Download mode isn't working. When I try to get into recovery it shows "Recovery Booting" and then it goes black again.

I'm sorry. I don't think I clarified it properly. When I press the Volume Up + Power + Home I see a set of blue letters saying "Recovery Booting ..." I don't see anything after that. The phone goes back to Black screen and I don't see any of the recovery options.
What do you mean by Download mode "Does not work" ? Can you please elaborate.
Also, try to hold the download mode key combination in for like 20 seconds.

1- Waits for the battery to be empty ( if phone can be charged again )
or
2- use jig to force phone to star download mode

If you're just faced with a black screen when you try to access download mode, try to plug it in with odin and see if it's detecting anything?
I've been in a similar situation where you are now, and by pressing the combinations for download mode for maybe 30 sec the phone restarted itself a couple of times and evetually I got download mode.
One other time I held the combination and I thought I got into download mode but my screen was still black, and just for the fun of it I plugged it into my computer and opened odin.
Odin said "Added", I flashed stock, wiped everything, restarted and it worked! I then flashed stock rom completely again for safety reasons.

Yeah tried all those. Nothing worked. Just gonna send it back to Samsung since it's covered under warranty. Thanks for the suggestions though
Just being curious, if one of those hard brick occur, and i take my phone to service, what would they do to fix my phone? is it even possible to fix it, and how much would they request you to pay?

You voided the warranty as you have rooted and tripped the E-fuse
Happened the same to me because of a xposed module. Black screen with a pulsing blue led. Someone sugested to wait for the battery to drain and then try to connect to Odin. I have not tested it.
At the time i panicked and sent it to Samsung immediately without thinking.
Good luck to you.
