Hi all,
I'm not new in XDA but i'm new in Samsung and yesterday i bricked my device. i own a Samsung Galaxy S8+ G955F
What i did was, first ticked OEM Unlock and USB Debugging in Developer options and then flashed the original TWRP recovery for Galaxy S8+.
After reboot the phone bootloop, i only can go to Download Mode and after that i trigger the Knox too.
If i try to flash an original Samsung rom i solve the problem?
Any help please?
Thx.
Solved by flashing a stock rom.

Reflash stock recovery.
Jtag dead phone to life and rewrite IMEI
First of all my phone is the s8+ G955fd, but I am sure that the people that helped me can help most Samsung owners with bricked phones.
My phone ended up being stuck on the first boot screen, I couldn't get into recovery or download mode. I installed TWRP and after that I lost my IMEI numbers( dual sim), so I tried to reflash stock and thats when i became bricked. I searched someone to help and found reference to the Fonefunshop in England. I sent it there and they said that the eMMC chip was bad. I searched for someone who could write to it or put a new one on the motherboard . I found A2Z cellular in Ottawa Canada. They used jtag to restore it to stock and they told me that the Fonefunshop had not opened the phone which is necessary to use jtag as they claimed, so avoid them.
The phone was now back doing everything it should except the IMEI's were null like before. I gave them the original IMEI's and the phone is working like new.
If your Samsung is bricked these guys can probably fix it and it won't cost much to find out.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone! I Own a Samsung galaxy tab 2 - gt-p3100. I rooted it and installed Cyanogenmod 11. Actually my tab was on Jellybean. Now, I can boot through recovery only. Cannot enter download mode. When I boot my tab, I can see the Samsung logo, then again a samsung logo ( Yeah I see the logo twice). And i cannot turn off my tab So I have to drain the battery everytime. I tried restore through CWM recovery, i never had a backup but somehow i had a recovery file in advanced restore option. So please help me ASAP. I have all the drivers installed, OFFICAL firmware, odin and required tools on my laptop and pc. please help me to recover my tab back. Even if i lose data, it doesn't matter. Please tell me a way to unbrick. i dont know if its a bootloop or a hard brick or a softbrick.
thank you, everything is appriciated !

I have note 2 verizon version sch-i605 which is soft bricked, i can go in download mode and recovery mode, but phone will not reboot at all i don know if i wrongly flashed it with rom for note 7100 internetional version i think. Also i tried to recover it with going in recovery mode first but i did delete all data when it asked me for so maybe i deleted bootloader i am not too skilled with this or how to fix it , i did try doing everything by googling and exploring this forum and downloading all kinds of roms and try to flash it with odin i tried all 3 of them only once i see on the phone like its installing something with RSF rom but very fast and it will just stay there for ever and not boot. If anyone has any idea or roms to help me please do it , also i wanna say my phone is not rooted and if i do recover it i would like to root it later but for now its like dead phone ??

Download stock firmware from SamMobile.com. Connect your phone in download mode to the computer and use ODIN to flash the firmware as "AP".
Anyone else has any idea ? When i flash it with cwm or what is it called it says it was reset in Odin but phone is still stuck in Samsung note II logo.
EDIT: See bottom of post
Hello everyone, and thanks for taking the time to attempt to help me.
Earlier today, my T-Mobile Galaxy S5 updated to 5.1.1. I searched google and came across a few links on how to root my phone (G900T) - The one I ended up using was CF-AutoRoot
I used Odin 3.07, used the tar5 file from that site above where I downloaded the root, and attempted to root the phone. Odin says everything worked as planned ''passed'' was displayed with 0 fails. I waited about 20 minutes, but my phone never rebooted, it was stuck in a boot logo loop ' 'Samsung Galaxy S5 powered by Android'' or ''T-Mobile'' was displayed.
I tried going into recovery and reseting all data / factory wipe but that didn't help, and made it even worse. Now my phone says this when I try to turn it on: ''Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again''
How do I go about getting back to stock firmware , that is rootable, so I can then proceed to install CyanogenMod?
EDIT: I used Kies and was able to get back to stock firmware and the phone turns on.
Can anyone recommend a reliable root for the G900T S5?

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
It's good to hear that you managed to revive your phone. Many of us find it convenient to install a custom recovery such as TWRP which makes backing up and restoring, switching ROMs, and many such activities much easier. XDA happens to have an active and friendly area dedicated to the Samsung Galaxy S5, and specifically to the T-Mobile version at http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5. I suggest you search that area or simply post your question in the Q&A forum there at http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/help where our experts will be most likely to be able to guide you.
Hi....
It's about my Samsung Galaxy S6 live demo which i bought some 6 months ago. It was working fine as a G920F. I could make calls, use whatsapp everything.In short, it was a full featured galaxy s6. At that time time i was noob. I didn't know anything about rooting-flashing. I thought retailer has sold me just a rooted phone that's why my software is not updating. I went for custom upgrade, started with super user full unroot, nothing happened. I rebooted and at once device started boot loop and was stuck. I tried everything but nothing helped. I saw a forum
" https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...er-thread-guides-firmwares-t3267738?nocache=1 "
It helped me in knowing it was a demo unit and guided to flash it to stock and then to g920 F but after doing everything whatever it said disabling retail mode updating software in stock demo firmware, I can't flash G920F rom. Whenever I flash via odin it passes but stucks on Samsung live demo screen and on opening recovery mode says "Dm-verity verification failed.. check drk first " and else there is nothing...I am stuck on logo screen :crying:
My s6 was on Android 5.0.2
Firmware was G920FXWU2B0G8
Please help! I am crying :'( I bought it expensive... :"( ... Please help....

DM verity verification failure happens when your bootloader detects that there have been modifications made to the device that it deems to be unsafe.
Your 2 options are:
1) find the correct original firmware to flash via Odin and hope it works.
Or
2) let Samsung repair or replace the device.

What could be the correct original firmware for a demo version?
Also the boot screen even after flashing shows same galaxy logo witha live demo unt written on it...
Is there a way to bypass dm-verity verification? Somehow block the bootloader from detecting modification?
Please help... :"(

No, there's no way to trick the bootloader.
