Hello,
I came home from work today and my girlfriend told me she had started an update on her phone which would not finish.
She thought it was stuck an rebooted it, several times, during the update.
Now the phone will not do anything other than reboot and restart the update again.
Which will become stuck on either 75% or 100%, in either case the wheel stops turning and nothing further happens.
No key combination whatsover is working, except power+volume down for reboot.
Holding the power key does nothing.
Holding power+volume up + home does nothing.
By this point the battery is empty, so the thing only stays with us when connected to my 2.4A power bank.
I can't connect it to my pc, since the USB port doesnt deliver enough power.
TL;DR: S7 stuck during update, cant get into recovery mode. What do?
P.S: Total stock phone, didn't flash anything, didn't root.

How to let it charge? i cant turn it off and don't know if the 2.4A are actually charging the battery or just keeping it alive.
And how to enter download mode?

If it is not turning off then let it drain completely and turn itself off.
Then put on charge for couple of hours whike tuened off.

If download mode is working then only way is flashing rom again. Put it on charge overnight. Even with low current it will charge by morning.

My phone randomly turned off and went into a bootloop today. I've tried everything I know (pulling the battery, tried booting into CWM too) but they didn't work. Every time I put the battery in, the bootloop starts. I went through some other threads i found and a lot of them were talking about Odin, but idk what that is. Any help guys?
I'm running Infused v2.2.3, Entropys kernel
EDIT: New problem: I made my own JIG using resistors, and when I boot into download mode, it just keeps boot looping into download mode until i take the JIG out, so I can't flash using Odin or any other method if it keeps turning on and off.
Any solutions to this?

do you have a back up of your rom? if you have tried everything and it's not working, than yes.
Try doing a backup of your rom in recovery then wipe date factory reset and wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot. See if that helps to boot up your phone

Can't boot into recovery though
What method are you doing when trying to get into recovery?
Pull battery. Put it back in. Hold both the volume keys and then hold the power button. Wait until the samsung screen shows and ONLY let go of the power button while still holding the volume buttons down. Factory reset and try to flash again.

Yes, I'm using the volume controls to try to get in, is there any other way, besides buying that JIG thing?
I would try letting your battery die in the loop then pull it and put it back in and try download mode your phone should not try to power on just by putting the battery in not sure why its doing that but maybe if the battery dies it'll work

2nd one didn't work, that's what I was trying before
Going to let the battery die and see what happens, trying to make my own JIG in the mean time
EDIT: Might just do this instead of actually buying a JIG, has anyone ever tried it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0aoabVtPJ8
Making your own should work.
There's a fine point I want to make sure that you are doing correctly.
RECOVERY is holding all three buttons. Two volumes and power for 2 to 3 cycles.
Download is pull battery. Hold only two volume buttons, NO power button. Insert battery while holding volumes and insert USB. You can also insert USB then insert battery.
Try a different USB cordS. Try a different USB ports. Try a different battery

theres a diff btw recovery mode and download mode ok
Secondly plz unplug charging before trying to get into either modes
So to go to download mode close tab completly then press and hold on vol down with power untill screen appears then realeas both and click vol up thats it
To go to recovery mode shut off tab completly then press and hold vol up and power once screen appears leave power but continue holding vol up untill screen goes off then release vol up and wait a second and u will be in recovery mode

i tried doing that but nothing happens, it just shows charging icon, btw, i 've done this before, i mean going to download mode when i first root my tab 2, but now when im planning to upgrade my firmware i can't go to download mode. i think there's problem with my tablet? what you think? im going on download mode not connected to usb or charger.
its kinda irrelevant, but its just strange things with my tablet, when discharged, the battery icon, shows the x sign, when i turn off my tablet, shows charging state even if im not charging..

Will this work on phone that is black screen on boot?
I've got two nexus-s (original no modifications except OTA updates). No battery charging indicator when plugged in and the phones wont boot when the power button is pressed. I tried the power+volume up/down and no difference. I've tried with charged batteries and several different power supply. connecting phone to PC via USB is not recognized by windows ? The phone will get hot on touch after a while plugged into charger and pressing power button but nothing showing on screen.
Both phones within two weeks the same issue as a result of pulling out the battery too early during a shutdown.
I also tried a JIG and it does not boot
I send mine to Samsung and said the powerbutton was broken. They fixed it and set the software back to 2.3.5. So everything works fine now
Verstuurd van mijn Nexus S met Tapatalk
I've been stuck with about the same problem for the last few days. My non rooted stock phone gets stuck at the google colored 'X' boot screen and my power button is broken. Today I tried playing with it again and somehow I'm able to get to the bootloader screen by holding power + up (makes me wonder if my power button is really broken). Anyway, the situation gets even more weird because once I get to the bootloader screen none of the buttons work and my phone is frozen at the bootloader screen. I'm going to try to use the root toolkit that was suggested earlier and I'll see how that goes. I'm thinking that if I can get the phone to boot up I can somehow root it and have all the issues solved but I have no idea if that's possible from where I'm stuck. Any other ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok I've tried using the root toolkit and followed the initial setup, but I'm getting a no device found message when I try the final test. I'm almost positive that this is happening because USB Debugging isn't enabled. I went ahead and tried rebooting the phone with adb and fastboot via root toolkit but it still says device not found.
Again any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Boot-up
I was trying to roll back to android 2.3.6 from 4.1.1, I used a website for instructions on downgrading firmware.. i followed every step but on my mobile screen i'm saw "FASTBOOT MODE-NO BOOT OR RECOVERY IMAGE" so after rebooting it i get an error on the cmd that "archieve does not contain boot.sig , recovery.sig & system.sig. after this the phone just shows the boot-up screen and nothing else. It doesnt even get connected to the computer.. plz help
Hi,
I have a stock S7. While browsing my photos, my phone suddenly crashed, immediately into the download (odin) mode. I cannot get it into recovery (or to shut down for that matter)
Vol.down+main button+pwr reboots the phone, it quickly shows the galaxy s7 logo and then goes right back to download mode.
So I waited for the battery to drain. Soon as I plug it into usb, again it goes right into download mode. If I press the recovery combination, it does nothing.
Anyone had this problem? Is it dead/hardware problem?
Thanks!

Try reflashing your stock firmware throught odin. If that dont fix it. Then a possiblity of bad hardware. But id try that first

i'm thinking i'm going to have to let the phone drain dead turn off by itself in that mode since i can not do anything. No button combo's work. If i give it a couple hours or couple days lol maybe the battery will shut off and can start over?
keep the download mode key combonation held down it will eventually go back to that

It should work with the official odin. Any time you need to flash official firmware you must use original odin. Comsy odin is for modified files such as Samfail which I'm sure you most likely tried to root with it.
Mine happened too! lol although now appears to have charged past the 80% limit lol maybe a clue in how to fix samcrazy bug haha. Glad I got this beast rooted wouldn't have it any other way. When it happens just hold the volume down and power for 2minutes straight, bet crazySam never though we would hold it down for that long! lol
