Hi, I bricked my phone and desperately need to get my pictures back before the factory reset. My SD was full so my camera was saving on my phone and it has my holidays pictures.
So I now have only access to the bootloader (i.imgur.com/ xxZh9lh.jpg remove space please I can't post links), the "downloading" screen and the encryption failed factory reset screen.
I really need your help, I don't want to make a mistake and lose my pictures, I have barely no experience with all this and I didn't find anything except some shady softwares like dr fone. I don't mind paying 30$ for a software if I can get my pictures back though.
Thanks.
How I got the problem:
I use a galaxy s7 with SupermanRom and TWRP I installed 1.5 year ago (updated it a few times but it wasn't up to date now).
A few days ago I got the error message "custom binary blocked by frp lock" after rebooting. I think I unchecked OEM by mistake recently, not sure.
To fix this I used odin to install a stock firmware from Sammobile. I took the most recent one (8.0, my phone was 7.0 I think though). I used HOME_CSC to keep my data.
Odin task succeded but couldn't use my phone : blue android screen of installing updates and then "No command" error. Then the phone restarts and is stuck on "encryption unsuccessful/failed, reset phone".
I tried again the odin install and same issue. I tried a lower firmware but got an odin error.
Hi, I still need help, I made the post clearer.

Hi
I think my problem is in worst situation ever.
First, I was on CM11.
Then I heard VZW GS3 finally got 4.3 update, so I just went back to 4.1.2 official firmware.
Then my problem started.
I got that update, and then boot was successful.
However, all of my game data and pictures were gone.
So I tried to fix that because I thought that game data and pictures were still remain at some where.
Why?
cause the memory usage showed to me it was 4GB left.
it was same amount as when I was in 4.1.2 with all the data and pictures.
so, I tried to go back to 4.1.2, but I couldn't.
And I was using CWM latest version for GS3, but OTA disable it.
So every time that I trying to go to recovery mod, it shows "System software not authorized blahblahblah..."
Anyway, then I try to boot that system nomarly.
I thought it will going to boot, but it shows Samsung Galaxy S3 logo, then booted again.
then shows "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless blahblahblah..."
Then I try to flesh CWM 6.0.1.2 recover by odin 3.07, but it keep shows Failed.
I look up to phone error message was
Secure check failed : recovery.
It didn't installed.
So, I fleshed into stock recovery, and it installed perfectly.
So I did factory reset, and wipe caches, but still same.
It is not booting.
keep showing
System software not authorized.........
is any solution that I can do with now?
(sorry for my bad English.)
Hi, I'm in a bit of a rage right now. Need my phone for work, and also afraid of loosing all the pictures and videos I've taken
So my phone has worked perfectly for months, updated several times, but today after the last update it's stuck on the boot logo, the Samsung one.
I've tried hard reset with Power+Down, it just reboots to the same logo and stays there forever. I also can't get into recovery mode with Power+Up+Home, it just gives me a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in it for 1 second then boots back to the samsung logo. Tried Kies 3, it doesn't recognice the phone at all, tried everything in there.
The only thing I can access is the Download mode Down+Power+Home, I have no idea what to do there, I've read about Odin but that looks like some NASA-stuff way above my knowledge, isn't there just a way to get it back to previous version? Orginal, stock and all that? Don't wanna mess with roots if that can be done
I'm out of ideas, please help me, are all my data gone? Pictures, video etc? :'(
Help please
*Sorry for bad English, not my native, but I hope it got trough.
Sounds like an update gone wrong. Restoring the phone isn't so hard but saving your pictures and data is harder in most cases. You can try using Smart Switch and see if your device shows up on failed updates, maybie it can repair the installation. You can also use Smart Switch to restore the phone completely, but this DELETES everything on it. If you haven't rooted phone and have warranty, I'd return it to Samsung with strict instructions that phone broke when software update and that you want to keep your data/pictures. If the phone is rooted there are ways to extract data from the phone memory but I'd only do that as a last option.

Yeah, I did the upgrade with modelname and S/N trough Smart Switch, it worked, but all data was lost including all my contact phone numbers, hade over 350 :| don't think they are synced either? :|
Anyway, glad the phone works, will never install these stupid updates again, never noticed a single improvment after them anyways
I have almost all the threads open on this forum with getting resolving the issue.
I woke up last week only to find the phone continually rebooting.
I ordered a new battery - same issue
did factory reset - same issue
did wiped cache - same issue
downloaded sprint firmware and installed via Odin - same issue.
I bought this phone less than a month, although used. Its extremely frustrating.
Any help will be appreciated.
Hi, did u do something?
I also have this note when I do restore by Odin I see only logo Samsung (on top info "recovery boot" when I go to recovery info "no command" and boot loop.
I had the same problem with SM-N915P model, and here are a few steps that I did to pass the bootloop.
- Download this PIT file : https://mega.nz/#!RZEzQSwR
- Open software you prefer to flash ROMs (ODIN, Z3X)
- Select the pit file.
- Check Re-Partition option, Auto-reboot, F. Reset Time.
- Add stock ROM files (Try to install the last ROM that it worked for you. ).
- Flash it.
Best regards.
Do you have the decryption key? Has anyone else tried this option?
Same issue with the latest stock firmware from sammobile, I put it down, came back five minutes later, locked on Sprint's LTE screen. I tried to restore from my TWRP backup, factory reset, reflash the firmware in Odin (that fails for some reason). I managed to get it to "Welcome to your new device, preparing your phone, this may take 3 or 4 minutes" or whatever it says, then >poof!< it reboots.
Does anyone have any ideas for this? I'm stumped. It does have TWRP recovery on it, so there's that.

Thank you, very much!
Let's see what happens....
Has anyone got any ideas here, my S10+ was stolen last night, so I'm frantically trying to get this edge back in working order.
I've gotten it to the stage with the gears on the screen and "Android is upgrading apps" or something similar, with x out of XX apps being updated; however, it still reboots and won't get past that stage.
I've tried Odin 3.09 and 3.13, with the .pit and without and the attached picture is where I land "FAIL."
Any suggestions, threads, ideas?
Thank you in advance.
...aaaand I fixed it.
Thanks anyway!

The big issue is that my SD was actually full and only now I remember allowing the phone to save my pictures on the phone itself 3 months ago...
I just came back from holidays and I really need to get my pictures back before the factory reset.
So I now have only access to the stock (?) bootloader (Jb2v7Ie on imgur, can't post link), the "no command" then encryption failed factory reset screen and the downloading screen.
I really need your help, I don't want to make a mistake I have barely no experience with all this and I didn't find anything except some shady softwares like dr fone. I don't mind paying 30$ for a software if I can get my pictures back though.

New 10 XEU N970F bricked when trying to update. Gets passed the logo to 4 swirling dots and just stays there - tried soft reset, plugging it into PC on Smart Switch, wipe cache and hard reset. same every time.
Samsung are like "you might have bought it New and still security sealed but it's still out of warranty it'll cost you for us to flash it ..."
Read up and got hold of Odin and the latest firmware - same swirly dots.
Tried Factory reset again and yay it started except it's "configured by SAMSUNG Electronics UK enrolled in Knox. So tries to load retail mode and is locked down - no factory reset option (even in Boot Loader) loads of Google apps don't work, Google Play Store not available hell I can't even change the wallpaper or set Biometrics to log on. It is on 12 though...
Suggestions?
Try wiping the NAND and repartition maybe and then try Odin again? Give up and see if I can get a refund?
I'm an Android dabbler, I've rooted and added custom ROMS to older non Samsung devices in the past but only following guides or using scripted tools.
Any help gratefully appreciated

Set Odin to repartition and clear NAND and do all but the userdata and it rebooted to a fresh install enrolled to Knox ..... Arse!
So it turns out using Knox to enrol devices to your organisation is pretty solid - It's linked to the IMEI as far as I can gather and has a hardware flag (I'm assuming from it's behaviour - so I'm stuffed. Tried the support at Samsung again and with some effort and a couple of links to Knox documentation finally got her to understand what I was saying. Couldn't help of course but gave me another dept to try when they open on Monday...
Sent it back for a replacement - with little fuss from the reseller. Replacement won't update...
