Would anybody be able to provide any insight on how i could fix my s3 that appears to be stuck on boot? i received my warranty fixed device from samsung today and upon rerooting it, i forgot to unlock the bootloader i then went to the "Verizon has detected unauthorized software" screen. After which, I followed this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840030 hoping to get back to stock. But after following these directions, the phone boots to a Samsung custom (Unlocked) screen and then it goes to the galaxy s3 boot screen and remains there, if anybody could provide any assistance, that would be awesome. I'd just hate to get laughed at if i bring it into a verizon store. thanks and happy holidays.

Are you 100% sure you was on MF1 and Verizon did not ship it to you with 4.3.
If you was on MF1 Odin should flash fine and resolve any issues. If you was on 4.3 than you have issues if you ran Odin

1000% sure that it was 4.1.2 and MF1 because it was trying to push an OTA update that i kept canceling. should i attempt reflashing through odin again? and if so could you link me to something specifically i should flash and possibly some instructions because ive been without a phone for 2 weeks and wouldnt like to wait til october for another one....
thanks

If it was fixed or replaced by Samsung they usually update to newest software before returning it. If it was on 4.3 and you tried to unlock it is now bricked beyond our ability to repair at this time.Can't unlock, flash custom recovery or downgrade to 4.1.2 or lower or it will brick. If was on 4.1.2 just need to Odin stock tar.If it hangs then a Factory reset in stock recovery will usually fix it. Need more info on what build you were actually on when started.

Remove .tar from zip and flash in Odin. If was on MF! it should fix with no more than a factory reset in stock recovery. Then run Beans casual to reroot and unlock.

Boot into download mode and on the screen where the option to continue or restart phone, choose to restart your phone. This worked for me just this morning, for some reason it bypasses the check.

Yes. It is common for it to reboot but bootloop. Pull battery and then boot into stock recovery and factory reset. Then it should boot.
Can anyone help? I spent a big chunk of my hard earned money on a refurbed S6 for my daughter, she's had it about a week (she's Pokemon mad btw). The latest update for Pokemon Go came out and now she's blocked from the game as it appears the phone has been rooted. If I'd known, I wouldn't have bought it. Anyway, for the last 2 days my partner and I have been trying to unroot it. We've used various versions of Odin to no avail. I had a lot of trouble finding the right firmware because it looks like the phone was Polish according to the version and CSC numbers, and tbh I'm still not sure if we're trying the right one. Software is 5.1.1. right now. I've tried installing SuperSU but it won't run, it just crashes the phone and forces a reboot. We've tried manually unrooting with a file manager but the su files we need to delete reappear seconds after they're deleted. I'm at the end of my tether, does anyone have any ideas?
You won't be able to unroot it until you flash stock firmware. I don't know if the game checks the knox status.
Give this a go

Unforunately my partner spent almost all night trying to flash the firmware. According to him it 'nearly' worked, however, I now have a phone stuck in a boot loop. :crying:

Smart switch won't work, says it doesn't recognise the device
I think I would give original firmware of your country and odin a try. One of possible ways is to download all needed files from the site of sammobile.
For me this way works every time when I stuck in boot loop. Odin functionates when you are in download mode. Switch off your s6, then start by pressing home-, powerbutton and Volume down at the same time.
Then start Odin on PC, then connect USB and so on.

When you select emergency recovery theres an option where you have to write the device model and the serial number
Use kies 3 on your computer. When you get it do a "firmware upgrade and installation" it will ask for your serial number which you can get from download mode when pressing the home key. After that kies 3 will ask to boot your phone to recovery but instead boot to download and bow your phone will flash to stock. This method always work!!

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I've tried Kies already and I can't get it to work at all. I get a message telling me my device is not compatible and the whole thing just stops. I'll give it another go though, no harm in trying. Thanks
@amber_1978, Pokemon Go does not check for root. The only thing it does seem to check for is location spoofing via another app. I'm using it on a rooted, Knox tripped, Xposed installed phone with no issues.
If you want to return the phone back to stock, the best way IMO would be to use Odin to flash a stock image, such as the EPD1 firmware.

Really? Did you do the latest update in the game and it still worked ok? This phone has definitley not been used for location spoofing by us and I'm pretty sure there were no apps of that nature on the phone. I downloaded a root checker when everything went wrong the other day, it said the phone was rooted. I'm totally at a loss tbh. Right now it's still in a boot loop. Trying to flash it with Odin as we speak.
Just an update. Tried Smart Switch. Tried the model and serial numbers on the back of the phone case, these weren't recognised so I went to the recovery screen and hit the home button and got a completely different set of numbers. Different IMEI, model number, you name it. I'm assuming this is why Odin won't work, I'm looking for the wrong firmware? I obviously have Frankenstein's phone. No idea what to do now.
Best thing to do is to flash TWRPP and try to flash a custom stock rom through the TWRP recovery which does not have root installed..... If that doesn't work try to find a generic stock firmware for Odin, meaning a firmware that can run in any country..... If all else fails update it to 6.0.1 stock firmware. Try the closest firmwares to your location.
And if you do manage to get to the Samsung logo let the phone sit there for a good 10 minutes even if it reboots....
When I bricked my Samsung I used masiks custom 6.0.1 rom based on stock, but had all the links to bootloaders cscs radios and what not so giv that a shot if you can find it.

Ok, got my new S8+ today. I have not had a Samsung device for quite a few years, but do remember how to use Odin. I downloaded TWRP, Odin 3.1.2 and put the phone in download mode. Got the pass in Odin and rebooted and got to TWRP without issue. Now came my dumbass move. On the opening screen, I did not press keep read only. I was then going to flash a ROM to customize the phone. When I rebooted, it took a dump. I can get as far as the Samsung screen and then it says something about not being able to verify with the box at the bottom that does a factory reset. I pressed that and it booted to TWRP with several lines of errors of trying to mount data. There is 0 data on the phone now. And now, when I am in TWRP, my pc only recognizes the phone as a twrp decive - no phone files or anything else. I am going to try to put Omega on the phone and see if it will rebuild it for me.
Anybody got anything to offer? I am such a dumbass!!!
Is there any place that I can get Odin tar file of a factory image? I have searched on google and in here and do not see any place to download it.
I still have my Nexus 6P, so am not down without a phone.

Yes and Yes. I am still puzzled at TWRP wiping my files from the phone. I will wait a few days before adding it again. I have read a lot on the Samsung way of doing things as it has been so long since I had one. I am used to ADB/Fastboot methods of flashing. Oh well, live and learn.

Hi all,
I have an OG Verizon Pixel that's now stuck at the bootloader. I haven't done any unlocking or ROM modifications. It was stock 8.1 and it broke pretty close to the January update.
Recovery mode says "Failed to boot to recovery mode".
Starting from the bootloader just loads back into it, but the screen gets off-centered (I can attach pics if it helps).
When the phone was working, I'd never done any of the in-OS tools to start the bootloader unlocking process. I'm not really sure what I should be trying, but nothing I have tried from fastboot seems to work because it's locked. I feel if I could reimage it all, maybe it would work again, but it doesn't look like I have that kind of access.
Verizon's only option was $150 to replace it out of warranty (and then only provided a 90-day warranty). I declined that and got a Pixel 2, but now I have the old phone. Is there anything I can do with it? Or is it just junk?
Thanks,
TBK

Try reflashing the same factory image ur on
If the bootloader isn't unlocked it is probably bricked. With an unlocked bootloader you could reflash a factory image and get it working but you cant do that with a locked bootloader.

Hello everyone, I desperately need assistance because I think I may have soft bricked my work provided SM-A536B/DS.
What I tried to do initially is to install TWRP so I unlocked the bootloader successfully. Then, I saw different posts here on XDA where people have successfully installed cust ROMs so i tried to do that. This is when the problems started...
Right now my phone is bricked, I assume it is a soft brick because I can still get it to download mode. I did some research prior writing here, and everyone is mentioning to flash the stock ROM. That does not work.
Right now, the phone has bootloader unlocked: (Screen1)
It is asking me to lock it, so that means it's already unlocked.
Tried to access TWRP but I cannot since I get this screen when I do vol up + power: (Screen 2)
My phone was bought in Europe. I am not entirely sure whick ROM is the right one. Is there a way to check which is the right one to download? There are multiple ROMs I can download for Europe: (Screen3)
My country is not in the list so i downloaded the 2 generic for Europe. I put my phone in download mode: (Screen4)
However Odin fails everytime, no matter what files I add: (Screen5), (Screen6)
Since TWRP is not working, I locked the bootloader again to see if I could get Samsung bootloader to show up. I think i might have deleted it somehow, because I get the same thing as before when i do vol up + power. And as you can see, the bootloader is not locked: (Screen7)
I am now stuck and screwed, because this is my work phone. Any help is greatly appreciated.

This is why it's a bad idea to screw with work provided devices. You don't own the phone, and you will be held financially responsible for it if it's damaged or broken.
You're trying to flash the wrong firmware. You have G925F selected; your device is an A536B. The latest firmware for your device is A536BXXU4BVL2. Use Frija to download the latest firmware.
Since this is a work owned device, the only advice I will offer is this: Return the phone to stock with the correct software, re-lock the bootloader, and do not attempt to modify it as it is most likely in violation of your company's technology acceptable use policy.

What version of Odin are you using?
Your bootloader is still unlocked, correct?
If you're unable to reflash the OEM firmware in Odin, I don't think there's anything else that can be done.
To be completely honest with you, I'm not sure trying to help you is worth the effort, because you did something you shouldn't be doing anyway, and any consequences you may face are entirely of your own doing.

I dont have this phone, but a Xiaomi Mi8.
When I want to adb push or sideload stuff into phone while it is in recovery or download mode, certain usb ports will work and others wont. And there is not a clear error when it's plugged to non-working usb port, just fails in the middle of a transfer with a generic error message.
Maybe totally irrelevant, just wanted to share.
