Hi there, I'm pretty frustrated because all of the sudden my S6 (G920F) got a bootloop and I already spend too many hours in research to get this fixed without getting any further. The phone just worked fine before and I didn't change anything (stuck rom and kernel) so I don't know how this could happen. Now it just shows the Samsung boot logo until the battery dies. If I plug in the power cord it shows the charging logo but doesn't show any progress in charging. Now the extra challenge is that the home button doesn't work to get in recovery mode. So I ordered a USB-jig. Now I get into download mode. Via odin I successfully flashed a new stock rom from sammobile. Still the same problem. I tried to flash twrp via odin but still didn't change anything, I still can't get into recovery.
Since I didn't enable developer mode I can't get an adb connection running with my PC.
Now I heard that maybe the kernel needs to be fixed. So after some research I found this UniKernel that can be flashed via odin but they say it only works on Lollipop. I was so frustrated that I just tried to install it anyway but still. Nothing changed.
So now I'm kind of exhausted because I don't even know if I'm going in the right direction. Can anyone give me some advice what to try next? Why can't I get into recovery? Where can I get a kernel to flash via odin? I would appreciate any advice! Thanks in advance for taking your time!

Hey, i am new here i used to get helps lot in this forum but now i am facing a problem that i didn't found a solution for it yet..
first off i tried to change from android 2.3.6 to 2.3.5 (Arabic support) using Odin v1.83 when i put the .tar file into PDA then i run it. gave me failed and the phone won't work again when i restarted it gave me result are like this : Phone--!--PC
please help me i cannot do anything.. i tried to remove the battery using usb cable go to recovery mode,,, download mode but nothing it keep appearing even it i turned off the phone just in one click to power button it appear again.. i am going to crazy and the phone has warranty expired please is there anyway to solve this problem?
I don't know if your phone is the same, but with my Nexus if stuck in bootloop I can plug the usb cable in and use adb to enter command "adb reboot bootloader" and get to fastboot and flash the stock images. Maybe you can try something like that. That's why I love the nexus I thought I bricked it a couple times but I always got back to stock images. or if you have a cwm restore you can get to that once in fastboot.
Thanks for your reply! but where i can find stock images?? and can i make it without formatting everything on it? plus when i did that i wasn't have the sd card inside it and without a sim card also
i found on the web that i need to install default kernel.. i did that and put it to bootloader in Odin and the operation succeed but now i am facing looping on Samsung logo with yellow triangle ... see the picture.. it always loop can't do anything tried recovery mode download mode but nothing.. is there any fast solution please? i beg you guys please
Try to wipe everything trough recovery, and flash another rom.
Just google for Heimdall recovery
Does Heimdall perform anything different than Odin?
try to install leaked original rom ics for gs2. i try it and yellow triangle is out
I followed this links w.mobilescommunity.com/android-tips-tutorial/208463-how-root-samsung-galaxy-s-blaze-4g.html[/url] instructions to a "T" and when the phone came back on it stops at the welcome screen no matter what. I tried to install ClockworkMod Recovery per these instructions /theunlockr.com/2012/04/17/how-to-root-and-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-samsung-galaxy-blaze-4g/[/url] and it seemed to work as I get the OMR mode when I try to get the download screen without having it already cable connected to the PC. When I have it connected to the PC I am able to get to the "Download" mode. OI! I never have had a problem rooting before. The stock OS ICS 4.0.4 was on it and I bought it new from T-Mobile and then it did the OTA update a week ago. I have had nothing on it other than stock and a few camera apps. I have already tried to return it to OEM with the OMR recovery but its still the same, always booting to the welcome screen. When I try to get it into a mode, ether the recovery mode or the download mode, it sometimes vibrates several times and then "May" go into one or the other depending if its cable tethered or not. HELP PLEASE, I disabled and this is my only outside contact short of coming into town to use the Internet at a cafe. Thanks, Jeff

----- Did you ever get your Blaze fixed?....
pretty much the same problem i have!!! i currently have the samsung galaxy s blaze and rooted it to the custom rom from konane using the odis program, it said passed and auto rebooted my phone, but when it gets to the home screen where you touch the android to set up your phone like its brand new, when i hit the android bot all that happens is a message force closing a bunch of apps appear. i can get to the download mode to install new roms and i've tried to re root back to the stock rom but now my computer doesnt recognize my phone. i've downloaded and installed the samsung drivers from several different forums including the ones recommended here but still nothing. what im wondering is if theres a way to install the rom or driver from an sd card to the phone or something else that im missing, or is my phone just screwed? any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Hi There,
Sorry misleading title, it's a P5100 (wifi+3G tab)
I know this has been asked many times on these forums, but I couldn't find anything to help.
Following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1722745
I tried to restore the P5100 to stock from CM (This is the firmware I downloadad: http://samsung-updates.com/details/1...100UBDMD2.html)
Now my device is stuck in charging boot loop. I can enter stock download mode via holding up and power on boot (however Odin 3.07 fails at the "setupConnection" and Odin 1.85 fails at Can't open the specified file. (Line: 1876)) I tried this on several computers.
I am able to turn the device of when it's plugged in to power, it then goes to the battery charging screen and if I take out the power the device remains off.
I cannot enter stock recovery, maybe I am doing something wrong, but when holding the down volume and tapping the power button the device simply boots.
Any help appreicated
Think you have same issue as me. I can get to download mode but not recovery, only difference is I can flash the firmware with no errors but tablet still wont boot always stuck on samsung logo and will not go to recovery either.
Have you tried a different usb cable, I also got that message few times I just rebooted it back to download mode and it fixed up after that. Good luck.
No luck
I have managed to use odin and flash a different stock firmware. Now the device simply gets stuck on the Samsung Logo on boot. How'd you fix this?
I have already tried all cwm recoveries some bootloaders and different stock firmwares. I think the chip that holds the firmware might be faulty and doesnt let the device boot up.
Anyone had same issue that can help us get a solution to this problem or at least an explanation of whats going on would be highly apreciated.
Greetings everyone, I am a new member and hope to become more involved in the community.
I have installed many custom ROMs on my Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 in the past. On my latest attempt to install a custom ROM the recovery software went all funny. The phone would turn on and boot directly into recovery mode (displaying the text "RECOVERY BOOTING... RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING. Set Warranty Bit: Recovery"). It wouldn't go any further, meaning that I never get to see the actual menu where I would be able to clear cache, factory reset or install firmware. It then immediately dies and starts up again into the same screen. I tried using all the hardware buttons (i.e. booting into safe mode and recovery mode), the phone doesn't react at all. When plugging it into a PC there is also no reaction on the PC. The phone simply continues to boot into the recovery screen and then die before reaching the options menu.
PLEASE HELP, I have been trying to fix the issue for two days now. Any advice would be highly appreciated!
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Can you boot into download mode? It sounds like you'll have to flash the stock firmware in Odin. If you run into problems you can ask for help herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/help

Originally the phone would not boot into download mode at all. It was essentially hard bricked. After a couple hours of messing with it, trying to get some kind of reaction out of the device, I managed to get it to boot into download mode. I actually managed this by pulling out the battery and pushing Power + Volume Down + Home whilst almost jump starting using the battery (connecting the battery connectors without fully putting the battery in to the phone). This managed to wake the phone into download mode similar to what a USB Jig would have.
Solution was found purely by luck.

My Galaxy S7 (SM-G930R4) has decided to not want to boot. I can't boot normally or into recovery. I can only boot into Odin mode.
I've tried to flash stock rom, but it doesn't seem to work. I've heard that I should use the ROM from samsmobile, so I'll try that next.
This all started to happen after I accidentally turned on the phone right before I took the battery out. I put that battery back in and it booted fine, but after a few minutes it rebooted and started to reboot over and over again. It won't even show the charging screen when it is turned off and plugged in.
OK, I tried to flash the stock rom with Odin, but it still is in a boot loop. I've flashed it 3 times. I've firmware files from different sites. It seems that this S7 is dead. Please help!
Try to flash another rom and keep in mind that it sometimes takes up to 10-15 minutes at the first boot.
You could also just flash TWRP...

TWRP for the Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930R4)???
Also, now I've been greeted with the screen that says "An error has occurred while updating the device software." It says to use the Samsung Smart Switch PC software to fix it. Hopefully that works.
Where are you?
What firmware are you using? Branded or unbranded?
Have you looked on Sammobile for the correct firmware?
Are you able to boot into system recovery? Home+VOLUME UP+Power (Not Download)?
Oh you have got the G930R4. I thought G930F.
Then I don't know if there is a TWRP you could flash.
But if there is one you could just flash it and enter recovery mode and install a new ROM from within the TWRP environment.
Check this out.

Sounds like your device is currently bricked anyways, so just give it a try.
Maybe you can get a working TWRP recovery mode again.

I am in the US.
I'm on Android 8.0 (Oreo)
I have a US Cellular Branded phone.
As soon as the phone is turned on, it tries to boot into recovery, but it can't so it keeps on trying over and over again. I've tried the firmware from SamMobile, but nothing seems to work.
When I flash to Stock ROM, and I turn the phone on, it stays in a bootloop of the "Recovery Booting..." screen.
When I flash the rooted Engineering rom, and I turn the phone on, it stays in a bootloop of the Samsung S7 logo. I can't boot into safe mode.
I tried to use Samsung Kies... didn't work... I tried to use Samsung Smart Switch... didn't work... I've tried 3 or 4 different ROMs from different websites.... didn't work.
i have the same problem. was able to enter download mode several times, but at some point it died completely (not charging anymore). how do you manage to take the battery out? does the SM-G930R4 the possibility to easily remove it?

The glass panel on the back is glued onto the phone. If you remove the glass, there are screws and from there, it's easy. I broke the glass in the process... so yay me.
Mine won't charge either. It is completely dead, but it will still turn on when I plug it into my computer.
Really strange. Mine is not turning on, even tried several locations, charger, etc. Once I had download mode while having a black screen. Keep an eye on odin and instantly flash firmware if it got recognized. I press all three buttons while plugging in; that's how it worked the first time for me....
