Hi,
Have you ever stuck in a cwm bootloop(reboot to clockworkmod again and again) or stuck at the boot screen in your GT-S7500?
I will show you how to fix it. (ONLY GT-S7500 NO OTHER VARIANTS !)
There is only one way to fix it:reinstall your stock firmware.
First,download needed files here:1)The firmware from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and type in the Search option "GT-S7500" and choose your country
And if you want another firmware to another country search by google or www.samsung-updates.com This site is better due the shutdoen of hotfile,samsung-updates uploaded firmware to mirrors
2)odin3 v1.85
Extract files.
Now turn off you phone and go to download mode by pressing volume down+home+power
Connect your phone to your computer and open odin3.Wait until ID:COM turn yellow.
"Auto reboot" and "F.reset time" must be checked and "Re-partion" must be UNCHECKED.
Now press PDA in odin and choose the firmware that you have downloaded(the stock firmware must be a .tar or .md5 file) and press START.
Wait 4 to 5 minute to finish the process.And when it is finished you will see "PASS" in odin.
Now your phone will reboot.Wait until your phone finish rebooting and unplug your ace +
Thats it!your phone will turn on again now! Press thanks if i helped you.
Enjoy!!!:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

its pretty obvious that if your phone doesn't boot you have to flash stock
or even restore a backup....that is easier

Is it zip file or tar file to put in odin? Because i downloaded the firmware and it's zip file. Can you help me?

Yes jsut unzip the file that you have downloaded and you will get 2 files:
1)the firmware .tar.md5
2)A dll file
The .tar.md5 file is the firmware to put on odin

Thank you for your help!!! :good::good:

First off: This is my very first try.
Not sure if I did something wrong or I'm just too stupid to follow the instructions..
So, I visited that firmware-site, downloaded the german firmware and Odin.
turned my phone on via download mode and connected my phone to my laptop and started Odin.
no problems so far until Odin is running.. the ID:COM-thingy doesn't show anything up at all so I thought I might just click on "Start" anyway
log: <OSM> Enter CS for MD5..
<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..
<OSM> Please wait..
<OSM> S7500XXMC2_S7500DBTMC1_S7500XXMC2_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..
<OSM> Leave CS..
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0) ,
didn't work either. (I'm a new member so I can't post a link/picture of my Odin)
In download-mode (on my phone-screen) it says:
[ODIN3]
PRODUCT: GT-S7500
VERSION: S7500XXMC2
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
"Downloading... Do not turn off target !!"

Thats not a big problem:
Try these tow things:
1)Try with a different version of odin (like 3.04/1.87 ...)
2)If it didn't work you have to install samsung drivers or install kies

Ok, the ID:COM thingy is fixed now, thanks a lot!
Kies is updated to the latest version, it says FAIL! in Odin now, though.
Any way to fix that? I guess followed your steps corretly.. turned my phone on in download mode, pressed vol+, connected it to the cable.

[Q] [HELP] Stuck at 'Samsung galaxy core 2' logo

So after replacing the digitizer I can't boot up the phone. As I've said in title, I'm stuck at the 'Samsung Galaxy Core 2, powered by android' screen.
I tried to re-flash the stock ROM via Odin, everything passes but i always get stuck at the same boot spot.
Power+VolUp+Home doesn't work, only Power+VolDown+Home work.
Does anyone have any suggestion what to do?

I am experiencing a similar problem with my Samsung Galaxy Core Prime.
I used Kingroot to root my device. I then continued to attempt to install a custom recovery which i eventually accomplished about three hours later, and then attempted to install a custom rom(I don't know if it worked or not!) 9 hours later, I tried to reboot my device. When i turned my phone back on, the screen froze and would not finish booting. (Volume Up+Home+Power and Volume Down+Home+Power both work. I can select different options in bootloader, but when i go to the download page it also freezes)

Don't worry
Just download stock firmware from sammobile.com and odin v3.0.9 and download samsung mobile drivers for pc. Then open download mod by pressing vol down +power+ home button and then open odin and choose downloaded firmware as pda and flash it. Now you can see a blue coloured progress bar on download mod. After it completes, it will reboot your device and it will boot successfully

Boot loop - verity verification failed

I have tried to installed marshmallow via Odin on my galaxy s6 SM-920F. It's not the first time I'm flashing a device but this time reactivation lock was on and Odin would not finish. Restarting the phone is not possible as its stuck in a bootloop and shows blinking "Galaxy S6" every time and recovery mode says verity verification failed. Didn't not know reactivation would do so much damage as I thought it would just ask a password in case a thief tries to flash the phone.
I searched everywhere but could not find a solution and hope to get some expert advice here. Please help

Get the phone into Download mode and flash the ROM again?

Flashing again won't help because of reactivation lock and there is no way I know I can disable that without entering the phone itself.

Eek. Tried flashing the original firmware you were running prior to trying to upgrade and doing a factory reset?
Might let you log back in and disable the lock.
Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk

Already tried reset or reinstalling current version. The lock won't let it happen. Upon restart the phone is stuck in a loop.

Reactivation Lock prevents only custom (not Signatured by Samsung) images to flash. So, you should able to flash stock ROM.
Did you try SmartSwitch?

Download the stock firmware from sammobile.com
Unzip the file then open the tar archive with 7-zip or winrar. Extract the system.img and boot.img from it.
Download and unzip this software:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bsreazoonsw4gwv/tar-Tool_Odin3-v3.07_by_mkh.mourad.zip?dl=0
Copy/paste the system.img and boot.img into the software directory and run the batch file. It will spit out a system.tar.md5 and boot.tar.md5 file
Flash the system.tar.md5 as AP with Odin then flash the boot.tar.md5 as AP with Odin
I recommend Odin 3.10.6:

The reactivation lock is a security to prevent use of the phone in case of theft. Will flashing the stock rom bypass that securtiy? Then it will be easy for someone to use the phone in case of theft.
Just to make sure i do it the right way, how do i know the exact firmware for SM-G920F unlocked version. Which country should I choose?
Is there some advanced software for repairing phone with software problems?

Try Samsung Smart Switch. It might help.
Bang in your serial number and it goes automatically.

No it will not remove the reactivation lock. If the phone is yours then once you get it to boot you should know the account login information to bypass the Samsung or Google lock.
I would just download the most current firmware for the phones original country/carrier.

Update 1: I have been able to flash the phone with system and boot file. Now when starting the phone, it just displays the Samsung Galaxy S6 logo and stays like that. What to do next?

It's a remote desktop program. I'll remote in and see if I can have any better luck.

Hmm try this
Power off then hold volume up + home + power to get into recovery mode then do a factory reset > wipe cache > flash system.tar > flash boot.tar

For the time being, I can't enter recovery mode but only download mode. Any idea why?
When I charge the phone, only a grey battery logo with lightning appears but no indication that it is charging(green blinking dot at the bottom). Do you think the battery has been depleted completely?
And now it does not power on with the power button to show the samsung logo as it showed some time back, but I can still enter download mode. It's so confusing now. Wondering if a software issue is causing it not to charge as some hours back, it was fine.

S6 stuck on Samsung logo screen; Recovery mode = no, Odin mode = yes

I've got a Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920F) which stucks on the Samsung logo screen after booting (Samsung Galaxy S6 powered by Android). I got it from a friend, he doesn't know what happened. Knox wasn't affected so it was just stock.
First I thought it was a dead battery because the phone didn't do anything. Only when the charger was connected, it would show a charging empty battery but no percentage. But after a hour in the charger I could boot into the Samsung logo where it get stuck (still no battery percentage however). I can also boot into download/odin mode. But I can't boot into recovery.
I already tried to flash the latest firmware for the S6 (PHN Netherlands G920FXXU6ERF5 https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s6/SM-G920F/PHN/download/G920FXXU6ERF5/226355/) but that didn't help. It still doesn't boot and I still can't boot into recovery. Should I use some other options in Odin?
I also tried to flash TWRP, but even then I can't boot into recovery.
Flashing both stock firmware and TWRP give no error in Odin.
I found this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/guide-downgrade-sm-g920f-nougat-to-t3639253
I want to try this, but I already get stuck in step 5.
5. Open SkipSoft Android Tool Kit and wait until you see the main menu. Then go to the installation folder of this tool and you should see an "INPUT" folder. Copy ONLY the boot.img, cache.img, recovery.img and system.img into that folder.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When I go to the installation folder (I'm not on the computer right now, something in C:\Program Files\nameofprogram ) there is no INPUT folder.
And in step 6, on my screen there is no option for 99. I got something like this: (picture is from google, not exactly what I got. But almost the same)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So I don't know what these steps do. Can't I just make the flashable file with winrar or 7zip or something?
Are there other options I can try? What can cause this behavior? Is it a faulty bootloader? If so, can't I just reflash just the bootloader?
Maybe I should try to flash 5.0.2 or 5.1.1, but I can't find these files on sammobile and updato.com. I found the original url to sammobile but those aren't working anymore:
5.0.2: G920FXXU1AOE3 G920FPHN1AODQ PHN
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/47427/G920FXXU1AOE3_G920FPHN1AODQ_PHN/
5.1.1: G920FXXU2BOGB G920FPHN2BOG8 PHN
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/52406/G920FXXU2BOGB_G920FPHN2BOG8_PHN/

Or can someone help me to get the 5.0.2 and/or 5.1.1 files for the G920F?

Typing 99 in the menu worked for me. Even though I also didn't see the corresponding option. It seems to be an update command, downloading the latest packages of adb, adb-fastboot and magisk.
Can you verify that you tried starting recovery mode IMMEDIATELY after flashing the TWRP? The original system seemed to override any changes, if you give it the chance to reboot normally.

Yes I tried TWRP with auto-reboot in Odin and immediately press VOL_UP+POWER+HOME after auto reboot. And TWRP with auto-reboot unchecked. So flash TWRP, force reboot with VOL_DOWN+POWER+HOME switch to VOL_UP+POWER+HOME before the Samsung logo appears. Bot both methods won't let me boot into recovery.

When I try to flash this rom:
G920FXXU3DPBG_G920FPHN3DPB2_PHN
I get this error in Odin (tried v3.10.6 and v3.12.4_4)

Hi,
Were you able to figure out what the issue was? I'm in the exact same situation and have tried similar things with no success. I've kind of given up on it being a software issue at this point..

Nope, I'm going to sell it for parts.

This happened to me after trying to get unstuck from a bootloop. I think I solved it by flashing it again a couple more times. And I remember it taking quit a while to actually boot up when it finally did.

I already flashed it a lot of times. Both original firmware as TWRP. Nothing helped.
I wanted to try early stock rom but can't find downloads

I found a video about fixing Samsung Galaxy Android system issues, sound helpful with you.

Samsung Gear S2 Classic is Stuck On Update Loop

I've flashed the R732XXU2AOJ3 firmware form this link https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/gear-s2/tutorial-downgrade-gear-s2-sport-t3334123 using Odin v3.13.1 and the USB method because the WiFi option in the bootloader was damaged. The watch started properly and I could connect to it with my phone and the damaged connection with the WiFi option in the bootloader was fixed as well.
The Samsung phone app suggested an update (I don't remember the version). After going through the update process the watch has restarted itself and performed the 0 to 100% update step. After reaching the 100% it just shuts down, every time I turn it on it goes again through the update process
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and shuts down.
Using the normal bootloader factory reset doesn't work and the phone it stuck on the boot logo when using that. Now even if I flash the R732XXU2AOJ3, R732XXU2AOJ4 or the R732XXU2EQH1 firmware successfully using NetOdin3 I’m still stuck on the update process as shown here . I've tried flashing using the AP, BL and CSC files and also using AP, BL, CSC and PIT files, the watch was always updated with its official stock firmware.
Those are my set NetOdin3 options for the flash:
And this is the flash log:

Idea 1...
Flash Combination Firmware... to check if SM-R732 boot
Idea 2...
No idea why you started with Odin... so my first idea is... Live Demo Unit ?
SM-R732X
Idea 3.
Few threads about dead devices...
Still no idea why you flashed with Odin
Idea 4...
If you have enough time... I could help you to dump Log files from device...
Maybe this answer why fail...

So I really suggest you to flash Combination Firmware...
Hint... Be carefully not to use LDU Firmware... with 1 more X in Filename...

Thank you for the response I thought the post will never get any attention. I flashed with Odin the first time because the device was stuck on the logo and I couldn’t rest it. After the first flash using the R732XXU2AOJ3 I could start the watch and use it normally. The problem occurred after I tried to install an official update though the Galaxy Wearable app. I don’t know if I can get any logs from the watch since the debugging is not enabled so a connection with sdb is not an option, I can ping the local IP addres of the watch with CMD .
Do you know any working free links to some Combination Firmware for the SM-R732? The model says SM-R732 so I don't think that it is a live demo unit. I have the R732XXU2AOJ3, R732XXU2AOJ4, R732XXU2AOJD, R732XXU2EQC1 and R732XXU2EQH1 and I thought that they all were Combination Firmware.
Update 1:
I've flashed this Combination Firmware COMBINATION-FTMA_R732XXU2AOJ2.tar.md5 successfully. The watch started with the problematic 0-100% update process on boot and shut down after reaching 100%.
Is there any difference between flashing with Odin and USB and flashing with NetOdin and Wi-Fi?

Remove partition.pit from TAR... repack...
1 way is with 7Zip tool to create valid TAR file...
In case of 3 file crap... AP BL CSC bla bla crap...

In normal working Gear no PIT file necessary...
