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

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.

umm, hey ammsamm, i went to the link you just mentioned, installed it and GOT SOME NASTY SPAMWARE INSTALLED on my machine from it. I'd normally flag you immediately as a bad user, but your other comments sound legit. do you have anything to say about this?

KIES says that. (THR) Stock. i downloaded it and flashed with Odin. Then reboot. Then system install update. Then Erasing. Then reboot and No Command! 30 seconds keeps rebooting itself 30 seconds interval Random.
I did factory format, cache clear. then the same problem. i want to install twrp recovery with oden. It says Oem Lock. Not allowed. But i flashed Combinary file. I can get into system and i to developer mode but dosnt seem OEM UNLOCK that ll do enable it.
Ok mate, but if you press Vol- + Bixby + power for couple of seconds, can you access to download mode? If you can, I think you'll have to install the firmware all over again.
Try flashing using latest firmware from sammobile. Use Odin to flash all the files contained in firmware download. Make sure you get latest firmware for your carrier. Google how to flash using Odin. Hope this gets you in the right direction. Good luck finding what u need, do copious amounts of research before attempting any rooting of devices and if all steps aren't clear as day to you then do not attempt it unless you don't mind buying multiple expensive phones to tinker with.
Did OP find a fix to this problem?
I am experiencing a similar issue. Picked my phone up to find had randomly gone into a boot loop. Tried soft reset, cache wipe, factory reset - all successful but the phone would still reboot and be stuck on device model screen. Next I decided to flash the device with stock firmware. The flash passed in Odin, the phone then rebooted, loaded to device model screen, then a screen appeared saying "installing updates" which would make it to 25% then crash. After this the phone keeps booting, shows a screen with a dead android icon and says "no command" or "error". I have tried to flash the device using Oreo and Nougat firmware but have failed every time (although the flash did pass in Odin)
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I would rather not buy a new phone due to a random hardware fault which is out of my control.

My Galaxy S7 (SM-G930R4) has decided to not want to boot. I can't boot normally or into recovery. I can only boot into Odin mode.
I've tried to flash stock rom, but it doesn't seem to work. I've heard that I should use the ROM from samsmobile, so I'll try that next.
This all started to happen after I accidentally turned on the phone right before I took the battery out. I put that battery back in and it booted fine, but after a few minutes it rebooted and started to reboot over and over again. It won't even show the charging screen when it is turned off and plugged in.
OK, I tried to flash the stock rom with Odin, but it still is in a boot loop. I've flashed it 3 times. I've firmware files from different sites. It seems that this S7 is dead. Please help!
Try to flash another rom and keep in mind that it sometimes takes up to 10-15 minutes at the first boot.
You could also just flash TWRP...

TWRP for the Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930R4)???
Also, now I've been greeted with the screen that says "An error has occurred while updating the device software." It says to use the Samsung Smart Switch PC software to fix it. Hopefully that works.
Where are you?
What firmware are you using? Branded or unbranded?
Have you looked on Sammobile for the correct firmware?
Are you able to boot into system recovery? Home+VOLUME UP+Power (Not Download)?
Oh you have got the G930R4. I thought G930F.
Then I don't know if there is a TWRP you could flash.
But if there is one you could just flash it and enter recovery mode and install a new ROM from within the TWRP environment.
Check this out.

Sounds like your device is currently bricked anyways, so just give it a try.
Maybe you can get a working TWRP recovery mode again.

I am in the US.
I'm on Android 8.0 (Oreo)
I have a US Cellular Branded phone.
As soon as the phone is turned on, it tries to boot into recovery, but it can't so it keeps on trying over and over again. I've tried the firmware from SamMobile, but nothing seems to work.
When I flash to Stock ROM, and I turn the phone on, it stays in a bootloop of the "Recovery Booting..." screen.
When I flash the rooted Engineering rom, and I turn the phone on, it stays in a bootloop of the Samsung S7 logo. I can't boot into safe mode.
I tried to use Samsung Kies... didn't work... I tried to use Samsung Smart Switch... didn't work... I've tried 3 or 4 different ROMs from different websites.... didn't work.
i have the same problem. was able to enter download mode several times, but at some point it died completely (not charging anymore). how do you manage to take the battery out? does the SM-G930R4 the possibility to easily remove it?

The glass panel on the back is glued onto the phone. If you remove the glass, there are screws and from there, it's easy. I broke the glass in the process... so yay me.
Mine won't charge either. It is completely dead, but it will still turn on when I plug it into my computer.
Really strange. Mine is not turning on, even tried several locations, charger, etc. Once I had download mode while having a black screen. Keep an eye on odin and instantly flash firmware if it got recognized. I press all three buttons while plugging in; that's how it worked the first time for me....
I have an s7 active that is stuck in the reboot loop. I am able to get it to download mode, but when i try to flash anything it won't flash and odin stops responding.
Can someone please help me?

Here is a pic
I have been able to get it to download mode. I have tried flashing it with odin but it fails. I have no clue what the guy before me put on it. After it fails i get the security warning saying use smart start or something like that.
I have tried it and once I type in the info and click ok the program just closes.
All i am trying to do is get it back to stock.
Can anyone please help me?
Update i was able to get it flashed in odin but it still sticks on the recovery booting screen.
Any help is welcome

Update
Last night during the endless rebooting it came up with the recovery menu, then went past the first Samsung active logo to a fading Samsung logo and then the blue att logo.
Also the blue power light is now staying on.
And its still doing the boot loop
Another update :
Here is what I can get sometimes
I feel like someone out there can help me.
Please
Another update
Sorry for all the questions but i am still having problems.
Now I get this
Fail to open recovery no such file or directory
I was able to get to the recovery screen and I did the factory reset 2 times and cleared the cache.
It booted to the att logo and restarted.
Now it just shows the start up screen and then restarts.

Here is the recovery screen that shows its updated to sw ver 8
There is something weird with this phone. Yesterday I let the battery die to make sure it was a fresh boot and it came up with the red charge light for the first time and the correct charge symbol. Before it would charge but no lights and just a circle with lightning bolt.
Now its just doing the reboot loop again and won't go into recovery.
Has anyone else ever seen anything like that?
I am glad someone was able to help me. Apparently what i have been trying to flash is just a security update.
Can someone please send me a link for the latest full rom for s7 active?
I am able to flash this. G891AUCS6CSG2_ATT6CSG2
Is it a full rom?
I have tried every rom i can find. Either they won't flash because they are an older version, or the stick in the reboot loop.
The farthest i have gotten is the blue att ball
Still no luck and no help
Finally I see my problem.
FRP MODE is on.
I need a combination file for binary 6
Please.
Just wondering if this forum is in limbo . My s7 active was working perfectly fine [til 10/22/22] and then it froze and
then it would only go to download mode. So I flash latest Samfw.com_SM-G891A_ATT_G891AUCU6CTB1 ROM and
it goes to updating system, but displays ERASING - I have tried to install only recovery and the same
happens - It deletes everything I flash ? now it only flashed recovery, boot and modem and wont flash the larger BL,CS,CSC AP files ? Just trying to get the phone working again and to use it as a dash cam - LOL
Thanks for any input
Hi there, I'm pretty frustrated because all of the sudden my S6 (G920F) got a bootloop and I already spend too many hours in research to get this fixed without getting any further. The phone just worked fine before and I didn't change anything (stuck rom and kernel) so I don't know how this could happen. Now it just shows the Samsung boot logo until the battery dies. If I plug in the power cord it shows the charging logo but doesn't show any progress in charging. Now the extra challenge is that the home button doesn't work to get in recovery mode. So I ordered a USB-jig. Now I get into download mode. Via odin I successfully flashed a new stock rom from sammobile. Still the same problem. I tried to flash twrp via odin but still didn't change anything, I still can't get into recovery.
Since I didn't enable developer mode I can't get an adb connection running with my PC.
Now I heard that maybe the kernel needs to be fixed. So after some research I found this UniKernel that can be flashed via odin but they say it only works on Lollipop. I was so frustrated that I just tried to install it anyway but still. Nothing changed.
So now I'm kind of exhausted because I don't even know if I'm going in the right direction. Can anyone give me some advice what to try next? Why can't I get into recovery? Where can I get a kernel to flash via odin? I would appreciate any advice! Thanks in advance for taking your time!
