4th day on bootloop. Use 2 min and help me!

So it's my 4th day on bootloop and i still can't figure out how to turn my phone on again.
I know how to push files to TWRP. I have Odin ready. I have 2-3 different stock ROM available.
Flashing stock rom doesn't help - even if i put Nand erase all.
Kies or Smart Switch doesn't help me neither.
Tell me what to do - please.
Bootloader, modem, rom, kernel, put files to TWRP or?
Just 2 minute of your time would be greatly appreciated. Please!

Boot into TWRP and go to Wipe, then Advanced Wipe. Check off data, cache, and internal storage, then swipe to do the wipe. Once complete, power off the phone.
Next, boot into Download Mode and flash your latest local stock firmware via Odin. Once the flash is complete, the phone will restart on its own.
The above steps put you at a clean slate. If it's still bootlooping at this point, it's most likely a hardware issue and the phone will need to be replaced.

i bought it brand new in a sealed box off kijiji. i have the box but i dont know where the guy bought it from. i need the reciept to replace it. other than that, i can use warranty to get the phone repaired. i already sent it in and they changed teh battery but that didnt work. is there any way i can find out where the person bought the phone? the person is not replying to my text or calls

So Samsung sent it back to you and it was still bootlooping when you got it back? That's bizarre. I'd send it in again and attach a note.

It's not that easy to replace the phone when i have tripped my knox which means my warranty is off. That is the problem.

I know, but there isn't anything else that can be done.
It sucks, but it happens. I've had phones die and I had no choice but to go out and buy a new one. It's the risk we take when tripping Knox.

Why don't you provide us with more details...:/ For example which model phone you have (920F/I/T/V/A/etc.) Bootloop means you soft bricked it afaik.
In this case use ODIN 3.10.7 and take a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/project-zero-pac-firmware-pit-file-t3181133
1. Put phone in download mode + open odin ( = the phone is detected aye?)
2. Extract the FAC firmware you downloaded (if i am right it's 1 .tar file and if there are multiple you put modem in CP, bootloader in BL and phone in AP)
3. in AP put the right FAC firmware from the thread mentioned above, if its just 1 .tar file (use G920FXXU2BOG8_G920FOXX2BOG9_XEO_PAC.zip if you have the 920F)
4. In the tab "pit" select the pit file you downloaded for your device; e.g. 920F = G920F_EUR_OPEN_HIDDEN150M.pit
5. Start odin and let it succesfully finish
6. let phone reboot.. it will be on the samsung logo for maybe 10 min?

This is the message i get from Smart Switch when trying to flash stock android from the program.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Bootloop/Recovery Mode

Model: SM-G930T (T-Mobile USA)
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.
Thank you for taking your time to read this.

I have a ton of issues with my s7. Samsung's smart switch has saved the day several times.

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.

Whew, it's currently downloading applications for it. Thank you so much! I attempted to use a TWRP custom recovery for the T-Mobile USA version, but it looks like that was what blocked me out the recovery mode. Do you know of any custom recovery available for this?

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.

You should read the s7 t mobile section before you damage your phone. If you go there you'll see you can't flash twrp on the g930t
It can be rooted but no custom recovery.

Thank you for responding. Yeah I couldn't get it out of the loop tried every version of Odin I could find used galaxys7root.com's firmware Sam's and one I found on here the only thing that wouldn't fail flashing was the boot loader with the modified odin

i tried to use smart switch but i dont know what my serial# is because i cant boot into android, am i missing something?

Can confirm this flashed fine on my "Three" branded [unlocked] UK S7. Thankfully, the ghastly Three branding has gone

Bricked S7?

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.

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!

Wait, ODIN takes a long time to load AP, and looks like it has frozen, just wait and it will add eventually

Can someone point me to the correct thing I need to download then? There are so many. What do I need since its a sm-g390x?

That's because it's an International firmware, use United Kingdom (BTU)

You can't use any of the CF auto-root files if you're bootloader is locked. If you are using the US model S7, you can't unlock the bootloader. You'll have to flash back to stock firmware. Download mode = Volume down + home + power. Hold all three down, in that order, until you see the 'custom OS screen' then press volume up. Even if you brick using CF root files, download mode should still work. I have a G930U I tried to flash with CF (a few times before I figured out the bootloader was locked) and I have been able to get to download mode no matter what I flashed, so far.

Hi,
I have a S7 930U that had FRP, I used combination firmware to enable developers mode on, then flashed with several firmware that I found online for 930U, but the phone will boot fully, then reboot within 20 seconds. the vicious boot cycle continues no matter what firmware I put in. I'm thinking I still haven't found the correct firmware for my phone, which is causing the boot loop? Please advise what I should do.
I'm trying to flash again with combination firmware so I can collect all the CSC and related details so I can search for the correct firmware in SamFirm. Please advise.
Thanks.

If you can enable debugging and PC recognizes it, plug it in to PC > go to my computer > right click your phone > properties. That should tell you enough.

I thought I found the right firmware with the region code XAA and phone model SM-G930U using SamFirm. Flashed it, booted and it seemed like it was working, but the cycle started again!!! I don't understand why the phone would just reboot when it's being setup. shows setting up android, this may take 3 or 4 minutes, then just shuts off and powers back up.
on the back of the phone, it has this G930UZKAX. Is the region code embedded in that string? if it is, I can't figure out what region code this phone is! Can someone please help me obtain the PDA, CSC and region for this damn phone? I'm about to smash it on the wall.

Please Help I broke my phone

Hi XDA forum,
So yesterday I tried to root my phone and disaster struck. Now the phone is stuck in a bootloop where it turns on and off and on again indefinitely. I can still boot to recovery mode however. I tried to use factory reset and then reboot but I run into the same problem.
I figured that I would need to put the stock Firmware back on, and went and downloaded this: [I cant post links yet but it was the SM-G930V from sammobile .com] Because Etched on the back of my phone is Samsung SM-G930V
However, when I try to download that using Odin (Prince Comsy Version) it fails and I get a message on my phone "unsupport dev_type"
That is definitely the model type that is etched on the back of my phone.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong/how I can get my phone to work again?
I would REALLY appreciate any help.
EDIT: this is my first post here, if it is in the wrong place please let me know.

What model does your phone say it is in download mode? It's the end all source of truth.
The firmware you're flashing, is it the latest? The G930V can't flash back to older versions, so you either have to be flashing the same version or newer from sammobile

Thanks so much for the reply!
I was trying the latest version yes. Where exactly will the phone say what model it is in download mode? I haven't seen that anywhere and that might be the issue.

Download mode should be a blue screen with text and an arrow in the background, the phone info including model will be in the top left like https://imgur.com/lvqQmws
It should be in download mode if you're trying to flash anything.
If you're in recovery you're in the wrong place (iirc they use the same button combo, but recovery is volume up, while download mode is volume down)
