So the phone is a S5 SM-G900P, it is stuck in the Sprint logo when booting and the volume keys are broken (power and home keys work).
Developer mode and adb weren't activated in the phone previously
What I have tried:
adb doesn't recognize my device
bought a JIG that gets me to the download mode screen
I have flashed 3 official firmwares using odin ( G900PVPS3CQD1_G900PSPT3CQD1_G900PVPS3CQD1_HOME.tar.md5/G900PVPS3CQC1_G900PSPT3CQC1_G900PVPS3CQC1_HOME.tar.md5/G900PVPU3BOK4_G900PSPT3BOK4_G900PVPU3BOK4_HOME.tar.md5)
All the flashing goes smoothly, but like i said gets stuck in the sprint logo on all 3
I've read that going into recovery mode and wiping dalvik cache and cache plus factory reset fixes the stuck in carrier logo screen, but with no volume keys i can't access recovery mode.
So i'd love to hear any input or any ways you guys come across that can help me
Much appreaciated
Fix!
After ages the solution was to flash G900PVPU3BOG1_SPT3BOG1_SPR_Sprint_USA_v5.0_Repair_Firmware.zip by tsar3000 (google it cuz i can't post links) via odin. It's a repair firmware.
Hope this helps someone in the future

Ok, I bought a galaxy s7 from my friend, because he was getting a new phone, but I discovered that wifi wasn't working at all, so I thought it had to do something with the firmware and I decided to flash the rom with odin, with a newer version of the firmware.
This is where all my problems started, when I restarted my phone for the first time I noticed that the startup/booting animation was some weird ****, not like the usual one (the samsung logo) but was a weird loud animation with the letters of MTK, in that moment what came to my mind was that I just could be a custom rom or just a custom boot animation, so I didn't gave it too much attention, I continued to do what I was gonna do and tried to boot my phone into download mode with the classic normal method , Volum Down+Home+Power, when I tried this apparently It didn't work, I could stay there pressing the buttons for like 5 minutes and nothing would happen, and once I would release them, the phone would turn on and do the weird animation and boot like normal, at this point I was already worried so I proceded to Root my phone with KingRoot and install an app to manually boot my phone into download mode, it didn't worked. After hours of searching for a solution I found about ADB and I did all the steps to boot my phone from there, still nothing, when I typed the "abd reboot download mode" or something like that, the phone would just restart and do the ****ing weird animation again, so I tried booting into recovery mode and when I tried to do it, an android robot would appear laying on the ground with his chest open, and the words "No command". When I would press the home button the phone would react and send me to the recovery mode, normal.
So I'm begging you guys for help, since I don't know what to try now.
It looks like the download mode or maybe the firmware is broken, and I can barely do something without the download mode, pls help.
What I've tried so far:
-Basic 3 buttons method (can't remove battery, it's an s7)
- ADB method
- ADB fastboot method
- Vol Up+Vol Down+Home+Power
- Can't do anything with Odin since I need download mode
- Tried to install twrp recovery mode from ADB but says that It didn't found the file
If someone knows a solution for this please tell me what I can do.

Hi, I have a Galaxy S4 I9500 and I'm using GEAR CM13
The ROM was working fine until a while ago, but now suddenly there's a bootloop. Last thing I remember doing was accidentally holding the power button a bit long (while trying to lock the phone) so the power off/reboot menu came up and and then I tried to exit from it, but the menu didn't go away and the phone entered into a boot loop
Now, the Samsung i9500 logo just keeps flashing every 5 seconds. I'm unable to enter into recovery mode. I can enter download mode but it just exits out of that after 5 seconds and starts flashing i9500 logo again. I read about a hack to remove battery as soon as I enter download mode and it worked. It stays on download mode now. ODIN recognizes the device. What can I do using ODIN to fix the bootloop? Is there any ODIN flashable zip? I'm on the latest [20160711] build. I have important data in my device. Please help me recover it
I know I can reflash stock ROM and from there, reflash GearCM13 but I do not want to lose data as much as possible. I'm trying for fixes which do not wipe my data partition. I will go ahead with the standard method if I do not find a fix to recover from bootloop without losing data.
I was experiencing sudden restart of the device with no reason for last 2 days, today I flashed a ODIN flashable ROM to get rid of software problems, but later on today, It restarted, stuck at Samsung Logo, then I make it prompt download mode (vol down + home + power) and then selected cancel to restart, after this this device literally bricked, Just the blue LED is on, tried booting / booting to recovery / booting to download mode/ every possible combinations of the buttons. Nothing happens . Is there any way to save this or it has died ?
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
Pretty sure I can't do anything at this point, but just wanted to give it one last try. My problem was after I flashed TWRP I went into TWRP recovery mode and did a factory reset. I booted into system and it was just loading with the phrase "starting android" so i decided to go into recovery mode and wipe everything (i know i'm an idiot). It's my first time doing this so yea... but moving on I thought that would solve the problem but now I have a bootloop because i had also wiped system and basically i'm ****ed. I tried going into recovery mode and download mode again but i couldn't because of the bootloop. Tried combinations like volume up + power button, volume up + volume down + power button, volume down + power button. When it's in bootloop it shows "samsung galaxy s10" logo (not the "samsung" logo) and then a warning saying i have the bootloader unlocked and then another "samsung galaxy s10" logo with the warning/sign saying "The phone is not running Samsung's official software. You may have problems with features or security. and you won't be able to install software updates.". Model: SM-G973F CSC: SIN ||| NOTE: I AM NOT AN EXPERT WITH ANY OF THIS STUFF SO IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS OR IDEAS PLEASE COMMENT, IM LITERALLY IN NEED OF ANY IDEAS OR SUGGESTIONS T_T.
nvm, i accidentally got into download mode and followed a yt vid online and it worked.
