So I went to flash a Rom with Odin and now I can't get past the recovery screen. The phone will not show up when I plug into USB either. Is this phone officially toast?
Our crystal ball here at XDA is on the blink, unfortunately you're going to have to manually provide more information

Hi mate
You said past recovery screen in recovery mode?
What firmware you flashed with odin , which files ?
If you can get into download mode there is hope still... can you? , go to recovery factory reset see if you can boot now , if not flash again firmware with odin , to avoid losing data use your home_csc file if that does not work flash again this time using CSC and checking re partition option in Odin
The phone orginally was stuck in a boot loop so I downloaded what I thought was a working Rom to fix it. Apparently something went wrong because now all I can do is get to hard reset recovery screen. I can wipe cache and format and all but it does not do anything.
I tried to plug the phone onto my computer and nothing happens now where as before it would recognize as a s7 and would recognize in Odin.

Model S7?
ROM you Flashed?
Download mode should still work no matter what you do with firmware tbh
It was a live demo stuck in boot loop. G930x
I'm not sure I remember the file name but it was the stock ldu rom

But what did you try to flash a custom rom or a stock firmware?
What did you format in recovery?
Sometimes during bootloops getting into download mode is tricky , keep trying

Don't worry, two heads are better than one

Yea OP, as above, getting into DL mode sometimes takes a few attempts, keep Volume Down & Home & Power pressed until the phone reboots twice, after the second reboot keep them pressed and see if it boots into download mode
AFAIK with the demo units you need to flash the G930F firmware to them to unlock
But still no modem or fingerprint reader even after that iirc
But I can't used my pc to flash anymore. It does not show a device connected like if I plug in my s8.
The picture shows where I am stuck
Ok I got past that screen in dl Mode and found the right firmware or so I believe. Odin freezes when trying to add AP file. Without it my phone stays on the load screen. Help!

Maybe you can use the emergency recovery from samsung.. with serial number it will flash the correct firmware.

I tried to use chainroot, and got stuck on the logo screen. normally you'd battery pull, go to recovery and wipe data. but i can't find any way to shut down the phone, before doing power-upVol-home.
And now i've tried to odin a stock recovery to undo chainroot, odin fails. could re-run odin with auto-reboot off, but again, no way to shut off and go to recovery.
at this point i'm stuck with the blue screen asking me to use smart switch on PC to do emergency recovery. but smartswitch says the device is not recognized.
thoughts? thanks!
I was stuck rooting on the boot logo too. Had to use odin 3.10 and did "run as administrator". Also if this helps to reboot the stuck phone press vol down+power together until the screen blanks out. If you need to get into download mode, as soon as the screen blanks out, press and hold the Home button ( Don't let go of the vol down and power though ).
Good grief.... the non-removable battery has made these recovery tricks so difficult
thanks twisted_mind. at this point, i only get the blue screen asking me to do smartswitch recovery, and the one thing i CAN seem to do is volDown-power-home and it easily goes to download mode. i have not been able to get to recovery mode no matter what i do (including volUp-power-home, even before this smartswitch message came up after i tried to odin a stock recovery).
so i can still go to dload mode, and stick in a stock rom. the ones i've tried are from sammobile, and a potential issue is that i don't know the exact one to pick (this phone is a demo here in europe and i didn't note the details under settings when it was working). so the ones i try end in an odin FAIL. again, i've also tried odin unchecking auto-reboot, but then the phone is stuck at the very end of dload ("don't turn off target", etc), and i have no way to battery pull, etc.
Instead of holding power to shut off you have to hold power and vol down

Hello
I'm stucked on the same corner, i used Chainroot with odin 3.10.6 with no luck, just as what

Thanks

I have the turquoise screen that says "an error has occurred... use the emergency recovery function in smart switch...". if i do power + volDown there OR when the phone is stuck in download mode after the odin fail, the phone turns off but then comes right back on with the turquoise error screen. i've tried quickly going to the recovery key combo right when or right after the screen goes dark, but to no avail.
I can easily do power +volDown + home and go to dload mode. i just can't get into recovery mode no matter what i've tried so far.
if i could just find a stock rom that wouldn't fail in odin, or something else to use as AP/PDA in odin, i'd be set i think. wish i knew how to do this. hitting nand erase all in odin doesn't do the trick by the way.

is the version you flashed the same version that you had prior (do the apps look the same, etc)?
so odin passed? (mine FAILs, with 4 different sammobile stock recoveries). I have the S6 Edge, maybe the S6 works fine and I just need the correct S6 Edge firmware.

Odin passed normally with no issue.

So today, I had an app not responding. I tried restarting my phone only to get stuck in a bootloop. My Recovery Mode isn't able to boot, but I can still access Download Mode. I tried to install the stock rom for my device to get the error with
"SW rev check failed FUSED 3 > BINARY 2"
"EMMC WRITE FAILED"
I'm thinking of trying to install the stock recovery, but apparently, I have to reinstall the stock rom, which I already did.

You should just put your phone in download mode and then run the samsung program, it will do everything else
volume down + power + middle button to go to download mode.

Im not big on the phone extras (i have TWRP but not a big expert on it)..
basically this will factory reset your phone and make it working again, its up to you if you want to flash it again with ODIN and get TWRP on there.
I have a ton of issues after rooting my s7 exynos that I dont even do it anymore or remove bloatware. Something is clearly up with my device but im happy with the phone working, its ok if its a bit slower than it should be - for me.

Looking for some help please! My phone battery died the other day, I plugged it in to charge and turned it on at 3% battery life only to get stuck in a boot loop.
Did a factory reset and then successfully flashed with odin and current firmware G930TUVS9CSC1. After flashing it went to installing a system update screen only getting to about 32%, then it said erasing for a while and went back to the samsung startup screen stuck in apparently the same boot loop I started with.
Is my phone screwed or did I miss something? looking for any help, thanks.

It sometimes does this, make sure the firmware your using is correct for your device and flash again.
UNCHECK "auto reboot" in Odin
Disconnect when flash complete Do Not Turn The Phone On
Reboot into recovery volume up+home+power
Wipe cache/factory rest
Reboot

interesting, it worked fine before this started 2 days ago. I guess maybe the sim card reader broke? theres definitely no dirt in there and it seems to make a good connection (tried a new sim card had lying around and it etched lines into the sim card nicely).
Also I should mention that I had no clue what I was doing and flashed a dozen or so different versions of firmwares probably like 20 times, so maybe I caused it.

Er.... Yes!
You have to flash the correct region firmware for your device or you end up with problems like you have.
Search for the SamFirm tool on here it's great for getting the correct firmware direct from Samsung servers.

Okay well that tool's forum post says it's deprecated so I followed the alternative link to updato and got stock 8.0 from there. Flashed phone, everything works 100% but still no sim detected.
I'm wondering If I broke my phone because I even tried some custom rom with a pit file and probably did that wrong as well.

First MAKE SURE you are flashing correct firmware for your device.
What device do you have and what country?
If you are sure it's correct. Flash again with Odin but uncheck "auto reboot" in options.
When pass appears just disconnect phone, it doesn't matter what it shows on the screen.
In this sequence press and hold the following... Volume down+home+power.
As soon as the screen goes black move your finger to Volume up while still pressing home+power. It may take several attempts.
When recovery menu appears wipe cache partition then reboot.
Leave phone go through boot sequence, ignore what appears on the screen during this time it is normal. This boot should take around 5 minutes.
EDIT: FIXED, I did what you did, but for that to work I had to flash it without the hidden.img. Then it rebooted and got stuck on the logo again, but i was able to boot into recovery. Thank you so much.

You MUST flash the correct firmware for device and region.
1. Uncheck "auto reboot" in Odin
2. Flash firmware again
3. Disconnect phone Do Not Power On!
4. Wait 2 minutes
5. Boot into recovery volume up+home+power
6. Wipe cache, factory reset, then reboot device.

If it doesn't shut off after you flash firmware do a force restart by holding volume down+home+power. As soon as the phone goes off and before the galaxy splash screen appears you press volume up+home+power. If the splash screen appears before you do this then you are too slow. Repeat the power off process and try again

Ok the only reason it will not boot after a successful firmware flash with Odin is if the EFS partition is corrupt or missing.
You need to tell us exactly what you've done with the phone before this happened.
What country are you in?
What firmware did you have on your phone originally?
Where have you got the firmware files from?
Does Odin says "success" when flashed and "passed"?
Does the phone reboot after Odin flash?
Have you ever flashed a custom Rom to the phone?
Have you in any way modified the bootloader?

This is your problem. Even when the phone boots on your going to have a major problem getting past this.
Look for a guide on how to bypass FRP Lock on Oreo, it can be a tedious process of installing TWRP and flashing combination firmware. Never ever ever ever flash anything with FRP lock on it causes so many problems and there's lots of threads about it here.

i had the frp lock too!! ,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/help/frp-lock-please-help-t3925674
for me it helped only flashing the AP and nothing else .. but you are already beyond that point becasue you flashed the bootloader BL i think ,
once the recovery and system partition are stock you should be able to boot (frp lock blocks modified recovery twrp or system , you must enable oem unlock in the developer options or it will frp lock for customizations you probably disabled it without knowing what it is(like me) ) ..
but ive red some other stories here , and they all boiled down to NOT flash the BL becasue it messes up the flashing for the otehr partitions ...
TRY FLASHING without BL !
i hope its not hardbricked or needs tons of tinkering
try to flash this AP : it worked for me , maybe it works for you ! (lets pray) (its from german vodaphone but it shouldnt matter)

I think it's obvious you don't know what your doing, no offence. Everything that's been suggested should work with no problems. You are better off taking it to a Samsung centre to fix it. I doubt anyone will be able to help you here.
unbricking with the factory binary
This method is not for the faint of heart; it involves downloading 1) the factory binary for your phone, and 2) the correct firmware for your phone (which you can find at sammobile). I don't know if it will fix your particular problem but if everything else has failed, it's worth a try. You will basically be taking your phone back to its state when it was first set up at Samsung factory, before the firmware for your region was installed. I used this to get past a drk imei error, it's worth taking a look. Anyone else who knows more than me, please weigh in on what you think about it.

So i updated my phone automatically yesterday from the latest update, after it was done, i haven't been able to access my phone in anyway, it keeps on looping samsung logo and a window that says "This phone's bootloader is unlocked´and its software integrity can't be verified" and so on, ive tried to enter either Download mode and recovery mode, but none of the methods seems to have an affect on the phone at all, please help, thanks
Hmm if u have PC download Smart Switch and do Emergency Firmware recovery. That should fix it totally.

- The phone does not show up on the pc either
Was your phone rooted? That could explain it.

Same issue here. s10e stuck in boot loop (between samsung logo and warning about the bootloader being unlocked) after yesterday's update.
So far I had no success putting the phone into recovery or download mode.
The phone was rooted, then flashed with custom ROM, then flashed again with stock firmware. I kept the bootloader unlocked because I read it was risky to re-lock the bootloader.
So, is it now hopelessly bricked?

Thats a good question, far as i know, my phone is unable to get any form of connection to the pc, not able to start up in recovery or download mode either. What i know for sure, there is a way out, we just have to find the way
Never attempt to update if you have rooted and made any changes to the system, deleted or added system apps, modified kernel, changed boot logo,etc.

So, here's how I put the phone in download mode.
I left the battery to drain completely, then without pressing the power button, I pressed the volume down and Bixby button; and only then I plugged the cable. Without pressing the power button, the phone started straight into Download mode.
Now Odin sees the phone, I'm about to flash it with the stock firmware and see what happens.

Maybe this thread helps: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s10/help/galaxy-s10-bootloop-updte-to-android-10-t4023201
It's probably Samsung's vaultkeeper that caused the bootloop.

I just wanted to give an update of how I rescued my phone and kept all the information on the phone memory intact (this was one of the challenges, as I had some photos on it).
I put it in download mode by draining the battery, then tried to flash the updated firmware. It didn't work, leading once again to boot loop and all I could do was boot to the stock Android recovery - not helpful.
So I got it to download mode again and flashed the stock firmware it originally came with (prior to the update). In Odin, I put HOME_CSC in the CSC field, to keep the phone memory from being erased. This solved it.
Hope this info can help someone having the same issue.
