I tried to flash TWRP on my Samsung Galaxy SMJ337UZKAX using Odin and Odin showed pass. After the flashing, I hold the Volume +, power and home button and then the screen turned blank black. Is this a soft brick? Is there a way to recover from this? Right now the only way to turn the phone on and show something is by holding Volume -, power and home button which leads to the warning screen. I couldn't find the manufacturer firmware for this phone unfortunately. Where should I look for it besides the Samsung website?

Hello
I currently have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8013 Tablet.
Im unable to boot to download mode and go to screen with the green android to access Odin.
I press and hold the power and volume up button at the same time and its warns me to press the Volume Up button in the warning screen but after I press the volume up button, it boots to the Samsung Logo rather than the green android screen for Download Mode.
I believe the tablet hard bricked because it won't boot to the home screen.
I purchased a usb jig for my S4, S5 cell phones but unable to usb jig the GT-N8013 tablet because the charging port is a lot bigger than the usb jig for S4 cell phones.
I would know what have to or purchase in order to access download mode to restore the tablet to stock using Odin.
If the tablet is not able to restore to stock using Odin, what other methods are there?
Please let me know all the solutions to this problem. Thanks.

I'm just asking, I thought pressing power and volume down button together, then volume up button goes to download mode(odin).While pressing power and volume up together goes to recovery.By the way the volume down button is near the power button.

I pressed both buttons (volume up and volume down) with the power button but the green android is still not showing up. All it's doing is going to the Samsung logo and then Samsung logo just sits there.

Don't press both the volume button at the same. Press power and volume down(the one beside the power button) together ,then when the screen goes with a Warning!! (were it ask you to select volume up: continue or volume down: cancel(restart phone) ).Press the volume up button( the one far away from the power button.You're tablet now goes to download mode. Is that the step you do?

Ok mate ! I was trying to post out that you might be doing it wrong on pressing the combinations of buttons. Cause the way you write your post(no offense mate). Sorry mate maybe my English is poor I think I just misunderstood your posts. I'm just trying to help.Anyway goodluck mate hope you fix your tablet.
P.s. I don't work on any large corporations, but I fix my own gadgets as long as there are available resources.
The problem started when I was on my bootloader that simply said "Downloading Do Not Turn Off Target" and I held the power button down to reboot since I didn't see any other way to cancel that screen. From then on, my phone kept restarting over and over again. Basically, it shows the "Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge" logo then turns off and shows a blank screen for two seconds then turns on again repeatedly. If I hold the power button, volume up and home button or just volume up and home button, the phone states "Installing system update" on the screen and goes to the menu that allows me to reboot the phone, clear cache, shut down, factory reset and so on. I tried factory resetting and clearing cache over and over again with no luck. I tried to install custom firmware by holding volume down, power button and home button and going into the bootloader and using odin but still no luck. Every guide suggested that the phone has a stuck power button but the tap methods don't work and I'd like to confirm that's the problem before I take my phone apart to replace that power button.
The thing that confuses me is that when I go into the menu with the options for rebooting, clearing cache, etc. the power button works fine. Whenever I want to shut down the phone, I can click the volume up and select the "Shut Down" option and then clicking the power button to confirm and it does shut off the phone. How would the power button be the issue if it works fine afterwards?
So would the conclusion be to replace the power button flex or is it a software issue? Or is my phone bricked after having it for three months?
(The problem's lasted for two days now)
Sorry, wrong thread.

Yea, stock firmware should do it. If you can get into recovery it's definitely not your power button.
Please help me! I own a galaxy s6 (international model, official, not rooted) which is stuck in a boot loop from hell. The led is white (not the usual "boot-up blue") and won't change colour or even turn off. It was the last straw a few hours ago when it randomly restarted, got stuck halfway through the Samsung logo and started making the loudest noise I've ever heard it produce. It was NOT a vibration. Ever since then, it has just been stuck and keeps restarting. When it does get past the "Samsung Galaxy S6" screen it just says 'no command' with the android lying on its back. I'm at a complete and utter loss. It's actually done this a few times this week, but I've always been able to at least boot it into safe mode and uninstall snapchat - which I think is the cause of all this. I can't power off the device, and even when the battery drains completely, the same 'no command' screen appears as soon as it's plugged in. I can't boot it in recovery mode as I can't get it to switch off. I think it may be battery related or even motherboard related. I can't even seem to bypass the 'no command screen. It's just sitting on my floor, charging, overheating and looking all smug. Frankly, I'm pretty damn close to hurling it out of my window.
Also, does anyone know WHY the led is sometimes white or yellow during a boot loop on newer Samsung Phones?
Put the phone in download mode by holding Power + Home + Volume Down buttons. Plug in to Odin and Flash Official Firmware or use SmartSwitch

Thanks but I've tried this several times. The device seems to be completely unresponsive to all commands except a force restart (power key and volume down). I can't put it in download mode or even power it off
have u tried using smart switch emergency firmware recovery? power key and volume down should force it to power down, than enter download mode vol down + home + power key.

Whenever I use this combination of keys it just restarts and it doesn't even show up on Smart Switch when connected to my mac
if you are not be able to take your phone to download mode then repair center is the only solution.

Yeah. It looks like I have no other choice
Greetings!
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm having a hard time with this. I was carrying my galaxy S6 on my pocket, and when I got it out I saw that it was stuck on this screen: https:// i.imgur.com/DnddzrR.png
The phone won't turn off. I've tried to hold the power button for a long time, but nothing happens. The only two combinations that work are vol- & power (which reboots the phone, but that's it) and vol- & power & home, which puts it into download mode.
I can't get into the recovery, no matter how I try. Since the only thing I can do is go into download mode, I've tried downloading the stock firmware in sammobile and flashing it with odin, and while the flashing went well and there wasn't any error, the phone is still stuck in the same screen.
I'm not sure what to do or what happened. Please ask me for any info that might be relevant or help.
Press vol up down and lock button and hold all 3 together wait for turn off then try to boot in recovery if it restarts it self then do it again but then after its turn off just hold vol up
I've tried that a lot of times, but no matter for how long do I press the buttons or with buttons do I press, it's still stuck in that screen. Seriously, the only two things that work are download mode and soft reboot.
Okay so I basically tried to install an older version of TWRP as the newest one didn't work. My phone got stuck on the galaxy s8+ screen. I held down the power button and volume down button. It turned off but now won't turn on whatsoever. I have tried every solution like holding down the bixby, power and volume up/down buttons etc and nothing is working. What should I do?
