Greetings and welcome to xda. You can download either kies or smart switch from samsungs website and then it will automatically detect your phone and install the correct emergency recovery firmware. If this is not an option then I think this tool will work

Greetings and welcome to assist. Can you still get into download mode ? Smartswitch emergency firmware recovery normally works, if it doesn't try flashing a stock rom with a pit file included using odin

Galaxy J7 SM-J730F/DS Bricked?

Hi, I got a problem after updating the stock firmware with odin to the latest version avialible for my country (DBT).
Now after rebooting, I got stuck in the triangle screen with the message "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC Software."
When I try to connect to Smart Switch then it says that my device isn't supported. Emergency Recovery doesn't detect my phone at all.. ODIN Fails to flash the firmware.
Help?

Possibly Bricked Galaxy Note 8 N950U-USC; An error has occurred

Hello new to forums so forgive any lack of etiquette. I tried flashing Samfail for my Note 8 after OTA update of latest Pie firmware through AT&T (I absolutely detest how Pie is visually and have been regularly flashing back to Oreo, but I kinda grew fed up and tried to root), using this guide: https ://www naldotech com/root-galaxy-note-8-snapdragon-without-tripping-knox-samfail/
I successfully flashed the first file, with a pass in the provided Odin version per the article but the phone did not reboot automatically so I reboot it myself, getting the error message "An error has occurred while updating the device software."
Kies and Smart switch of course don't recognize it, and after volume
+ to confirm download mode it displays the same message.
Is it fixable or am I SoL?
Without looking into what you did specifically, Can you get into either DL or Recovery mode?
