So I have an S7 that had the stock tmobile rom and it just crashed out of the blue and started looping. I have tried to access the recovery menu ,but it just says recovery booting in blue text at the top of the screen and then goes to a screen that says installing system update which promptly fails and I get a screen of an android and an exclamation mark above it. This is the result after my attempts to flash the stock image with odin. I am able to get to download mode, but that is about it. I am trying to get at least the stock rom working, but I've had no luck so far. Any and all help would be appreciated

Hello, same as me, i got stock in the loop recovery mode, but in diferrent way, i try to tell help, or maybe someone help us both hahaha, the thing is the you need to know the "pda" of the phone in order to download the correct firmware, you need "odin 3.12", an the firmwares are in updato.com/, but, i think that you can download fw, descompress and use in odin only the "ap" and "home_csc" file, this will only update the o.s. and the home_csc will not mess with the partition, hope this coult help you, because, if you mess the partitions, and you dont know the pda of the phone, you will be like me, downloading all the fw, an trying with one by one. There something about "debbugin" and "oem" setting from deloper mode, i don't know if there will cause you trouble with the update.
Hope help you, if i'm wrong plz help us.

I have the same problem, can some1 help?
I try using kies to fix the problem but the gt-p3110 is not supported when u go to Firmware upgrade and initilazation, put in the serial number from the back of your battery, then the tablet model and when u click ok is telling you that your model is not supported.
Can some1 tell me how to do it using Odin , even with complete wipe, or stock ROM.
Thx and please reply
"Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue..." = that´s the black screen of death. Download mode is enabled in this situation automaticly, no need to boot into downloadmode.
Uninstall Kies first! Maybe that´s why Odin failed! Maybe some Kies prozess running in the background.
Start Odin as Administrator,
Connect your tabelt to your PC (yes, with black screen of death!) - Odin will show "Added"
Now flash a Stockrom for your device
Safed your Tab
i did that with odin, untill it show'd pass but when i turn it on is the same
i loaded the file in the pda section,auto reboot and f.reset time boxes were checked
i used this http://www.hotfile.com/dl/182607797/b61e3af/P3110XXCLK7_P3110OXACLK7_BTU.zip.html from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35095146 , the uk link
if u have a working method can you please tell me and live a link and how to do it?
thanks and please reply
maybe bad download? redownload a rom for your deivce e.g. from www.samsung-updates.com
Just did that , but is the same, I use Odin 3.07
Any more ideas?
Thanks
I notice this thread has been dead for some time. However, I am also in search of a possible solution to this as a colleague of mine passed one of these tablets on to me in the hope I could get some use out of it. It is in the same state as the previous posters claim, 'firmware encountered a problem.....'. Obviously I'm in a different situation as I did not buy this thing with my own money, not will I lose out if it is beyond repair. But I'm interested to solve this problem none the less.
So, so far I have attempted to flash a philztouch recovery using Odin which was unsuccessful and I have also tried to flash several compatible ROMs. All of which have failed, Odin confirming each time that the attempts were unsuccessful. I have read that the tablet in this state auto unlocks the bootloader, so I have ruled out that as a sticking point. I have read that flashing ROMs potentially won't work either as the corruption of the firmware is seated too deeply for this to have any effect. I know a possible solution is to try flash a new kernel as this goes a lot deeper, but this can be risky, however, like I mentioned above is not an issue for me as I have nothing to lose. Does anyone have any pointers on how to flash a new kernel? Surely there is a way to remove the corrupted firmware completely? I have to admit this is beyond the realm of anything I have used Odin for in the past. Also, I am more than aware some of my understanding may be incorrect so feel free to correct me. Any help would be greatly appreciated, even if it's just to point me in the right direction or towards some reference material which could shed some light on this particular problem.
Thanks in advance.
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

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.

Actually this is not the link i downloaded the odin from i tried to
Atthach the one i have but faced with the upload limit, even
After ziping and spilting the the odin, upload failed,
So, you better find another odin 3.10.6 a version with all the buttons
are enabled.
I have a GT-P1500, and I flashed a ROM .zip to /system with heimdall before I really grasped how flashing these kinds of things on samsung devices really works. Now everything is terrible.
I can boot into download mode and heimdall and odin both recognize my device. When I flash a recovery, I'm not able to boot into it even when I do the right key combinations and it says "booting recovery" in blue text in the corner on the samsung logo screen. Also, for some reason my download screen says "qualcomm secureboot: enabled" at the bottom of the other stuff. This is normal, right?
I've tried flashing the .tar.md5 firmware files from sammobile, but odin fails to flash them. I've tried kies, but it doesn't recognize my device. I've tried different computers. I've tried different recovery builds. I've tried everything I can think of.
Please help?

No problem my friend, but I just saw you mentioned p1500 and this p5100 thread. Sorry, i missed that too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-10-1
Your problems will be sorted out there better than here.
Although I don't see any help or advice in your case. Since I am pretty sure you are on a carrier locked bootloader, sorry to be the one to break this on you which means you can't go custom and the carrier company is the real owner who doesn't want you to leave them.
Ah, 1500 was a typo. I meant 5100
Also, I can't do anything to the bootloader to fix this? Not even go back to stock?

There must be something, you got me mixed up with P1500 . well, lets put few confusions to rest
what else do you have, I will need more details
Are you using a carrier locked tab 2 p5100?
or did you flash a carrier locked firmware on your unlocked tab?
you mentioned you flashed a rom zip from heimdall. which one exactly?
is your device booting up or you are just stuck in download mode?
The tablet boots, but the screen is just black and I can only try rebooting it. I can boot into download mode by holding power and volume down.
I do not have a carrier locked version, and I have not flashed any firmware packages as something eventually goes wrong and heimdall or odin stops there.
The device was booting into stock properly before I flashed the ROM incorrectly. I flashed the 5100 version of the ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2/10-inch-development/rom-cyanogenmod-13-cm13-0-t3303800

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.

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.

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.

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
