Yesterday I tried flashing G930U firmware on my G930VL S7 hearing that it works. Big mistake. The device now only loops on the "Samsung Galaxy S7" logo and I can't get into recovery mode or download mode. Is there a way to fix this, or is my phone toast?

make sure you are using the lastest G930U firmware from Sammobile and use the version of Odin from this website
Even though your phone is in a boot loop you can still enter download mode. It does not matter what the phone is doing just press and hold, volume down+home+power until download mode appears, then flash firmware with Odin.

Hi Guys,
I have the Samsung galaxy S duos (7582) and I believe that my phone has soft bricked.
1. At first the phone will switch on only while connected to charger. Even if its switched on it will just show the start page with Samsung logo and phone model only.
2. I have replaced the battery and tried but it shows the same result. Doesn’t charged up but can switch on the phone (only to start screen with Samsung logo and phone model) with connecting to charger e or PC.
3. The mobile phone is not detected by the PC, but the same has detected by odin. I have passed in odin but unable to access the recovery mode by pressing volume up+home+power buttons. ( i can access downloading mode)
4. Finally I tried to flash stock rom with Odin and it shows Fail.
Appreciate your help.

Bro exact same things happened with me, listen just connect it to a charger, after hmmmm approx 15mint you will see the phone is charging, and then turn on your device while in charging it will take around 40mint boot up, and after booting every thing will work fine, trust me this had happened with me in past, i hate Samsung and s duos 2 gt-s7582. And you know what every time i turn off the phone its take around 40mint to turn on again. I don't know why it take that much time in boot. Just try my method that will help.
I was taking a picture the other day and then my phone rebooted to the Samsung logo, and stuck there for like 2 hours until it ran out of battery.
After that I tried to boot into recovery mode but it also got stuck at the Samsung logo. I could get into download mode though. So I tried and successfully flashed the firmware through both Odin and SmartSwitch but when I boot up the phone it gets stuck at the Samsung logo again...
Has anyone else encountered this issue? Can anyone possibly help me
If you are trying to get in the recovery you shouldn't have reached the Samsung logo. When completely off, hold the power+home+volumeup until you see the recovery. Don't just press them and expect to get into recovery. You are gonna see the splash boot animation Samsung Galaxy S6 G920T hold the buttons and after that you will see the recovery.
Hi guys,
I just bought a S6 Edge (SM-G925i) via eBay. I now know why it was that cheap, it does not do a lot
What does work is getting into DOWNLOAD MODE.
In the download mode I get the following information:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G925I
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
REACTIVATION LOCK: OFF
Secure Download: Enabled
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1 (0x0500)
AP SWAEV: 8 : 3 K : 2 S : 2
I downloaded the official G925IDVU3FQD1_G925IXSA3FQC3_G925IDVU3FQC5_HOME.tar.md5 from Sammobile and installed it with ODIN (selected AP and process run to 100%).
But after this my phone keeps rebooting with the "Samsung Galaxy S6 Powered By Android" logo.
I cannot get into RECOVERY MODE (VOLUME UP + HOME).
I tried to install TWRP. It seems to install but after that I am again stuck in the "Samsung Galaxy S6 Powered By Android" logo.
Is it dead or are there things I can try?

Hi !
You should also try to restore the phone with Samsung official tool : Smart Switch
http://www.samsung.com/fr/support/smartswitch/
It's available for Mac OS and Windows

You cannot use Smart Switch when you only have DOWNLOAD MODE available.
Hi there,
This also happened to me today, I was just normally using the phone (internet and stuff) and suddenly went to reboot and got stuck to logo.
I tried flashing the stock rom, but no luck. Reboots and back to samsung logo. (or download mode, not even recovery is working).

Eish okay
I just gave up and took it to some service store to see what happened.
I'll ask him what happened and how he worked it out and let you know.
thanks alot waiting for your advice
same here
You said you tried to go to recovery by pressing vol up and home, you forgot the power button.
It's : power + up+ home. Try again.
And if not working, and only download mode available, use Odin and flash the software for your phone. Download the files from samobile (btw it will slow download , really slow)
We all tried flashing stock roms, as we said before. This is not the problem.
The problem is the DRK (device root key). It's all messed up.
This is beyond my phone skillz.
If you want you can try this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/how-to-repair-device-root-key-drk-sm-t3297383
I just took it to a phone repair store and he told me that the DRK is messed up and some other things.
Hi guys,
So today i tried to install TWRP on my Galaxy S8+ with odin
after reboot it asked for somekind of reset so i did but TWRP wasnt installed.
I tried it again but before it rebooted i checked if TWRP got installed and still no TWRP
so i flashed it again without booting in to the phone.
Phone reboots.. well actually NOT.
its not booting up and keeps showing me the Samsung Galaxy S8+ text with powered by Android below.
So now i tried to flash the stock firmware again but odin keeps saying FAIL (DeviceInfo).
i only can get into download mode, recovery mode buttons doesnt work.
also tried it with Smartswitch & Kies but after downloading the firmware it wont recognize my phone.
Please someone help? i really dont know what to do anymore...
You can download Samsung Smart Switch and choose the emergency software recovery option. You'll loose everything on the phone but it sounds
as if you're already there.
It will ask for your phone serial and exact model no., then it will download the latest release and install.
Usually will work from the screen your on, but if a prob., boot into download mode.

What device model do you have?
I assume its a 955F or FD?
Please dont tell me you have a U version.
sent from my Note FE, S8 plus, S7 edge or S6
1. Download earlier firmware AQF7
2. Hold power, volume down and bixby button for download mode
3. Open Odin on your PC
4. Add the AQF7 BL and only this
5. Hit start and straight after this hold the 3 buttons in again power, volume down and bixby (this should fail at first and bring you straight back into download mode)
6. Now back on Odin spam the start button this time (this should flash the BL and have you sorted again)

This - you probably have the newer AQG5 bootloader, which TWRP doesn't support yet.
So follow the instructions above, flash back to the previous bootloader, the you'll be able to flash TWRP ok.

I had the same issue once before. What the fail device info. I think I fixed it by using the most recent update (I think). And messing around with csc files. All this was done half assed in desperation. Then went back to the unlocked firmware and stopped messing with it. Yes Smart switch didn't do crap. Use updato.com to obtain your firmwares

Can anyone here help me with my Galaxy S8+ (G955FD). It froze during a game and I had to restart the whole phone, then while it was booting it automatically went to the recovery page without me pressing any buttons. Pressed Power Down button to reboot the device but after the Samsung logo it just went to back to the recovery page. It says something like firmware not valid.
Tried flashing the device exactly I saw on some videos on Youtube, used latest firmware from Updato, Samobile, Odin says it Passed but it still wont open and keeps on going to recovery mode.
Please help
