S8+ Stuck in Download Mode - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Hello,
I bought a Samsung S8+ from someone.
Initially it worked, but during a facebook video call, the phone went off.
It was impossible to turn it back on, except in download mode. (It doesn't even boot up to the Samsung logo)
So I used Frija to download the latest OS for the G955F XEF, and flashed with ODIN (CSC File).
Odin indicates that the flash was successful but the phone does not restart and still does not turn on, except in download mode.
So I tried a flash again with Nand erase. Once again, the flash went successfull, but the phone does not start except in download mode.
I'm not sure what to do anymore: unsure:
Thanks for your help

Stuck in Odin mode

When I hold the -vol and power on my 8013, instead of entering the recovery image, the tablet enters the Odin mode. And my 4.3 ROM quit booting. Is there a way to flash a ROM via Odin?

I solved my own problem, but I'm really disappointed by the lack of response I got from this forum. For any one else who runs into the problem, I apparently had an incompatible recovery image installed. I flashed the TWRP image and now when I hold vol up and power on, it enters the recovery image and I'm able to flash .zip files. I mistakenly thought the combination was vol down and power on, when, in fact, that is apparently supposed to be for the "download" mode.

[Q] Stuck and Can Only Boot Into TWRP

So I have TWRP on but it was mistakenly the T-Mobile version TWRP so the touch screen doesn't work and I can't hold down Vol Up+Home+Power to go to Odin. And if I hold Vol Dow+Home+Power and release right when it turns off, it just will boot back into recovery! Is there a way to reboot into download mode or anything on the main screen of TWRP? ADB? Anything?

So now I'm in recovery and I tested Fastboot and ADB to see if anything would work. I got ADB to work, BUT here's the catch. The device is "Offline." Check image below....
Did the same with TWRP... awhile back..But I knew it was for the T-Mobile.
I was checking to see if it work (SCREEN WAS NOT RESPONDING, STUCK IT WAS..ALL i DID WAS VOL+ MENU-B+PWR. AND I FLASH A COPY OF THE FIRMWARE I PICKED FROM SAMSUNG WEB SITE .BACK TO STOCK NO ISSUES)
CF-Auto-Root-zerofltetmo-zerofltetmo-smg920t
WORKED FOR ME..
HOPE YOU FIND A SOLUTION.

Note edge in constant bootloop

My Note Edge on AT&T stock not rooted. All of a sudden went to a black screen with a blue notification flashing. I was able to do a factory reset and wiped the cache. Now I'm in a constant bootloop and/or the black screen. I have changed the battery as well and still nothing. Does anyone have any other ideas?
Download cmw recOvery for your model and use odin to flash the recovery while your phone is in the downloading screen (volume down+home button+power button). Use the csc in odin locate the downloaded recovery and press start.
If this doesn't work then you have to download the stock firmware which is around 2 gb and flash it usin odin in the same downloading screen, this time you have to use the ap option to located the file in odin and press start.
You have to have Samsung driver installed for odin to recognise when the device connects.

Samsung XCover 4s bricked?

Hi,
I got an Samsung XCover 4s and tried to flash Lineage 18 with this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...sing-odin-without-twrp-phh-lineageos.4114435/
However it never really worked (I also tried the other customROMs) and the device either started with its old firmware or just entered download mode on start so I could flash the original firmware again with Odin v3.13.
Unfortunately I did a mistake in the last try and created the new AP_xxx.tar.md5 with vbmeta.img.lz4 from the original firmware instead of the clean vbmeta.img.lz4 and flashed it. Now the device only shows the start screen and then goes black or reboots when connected to USB. I also tried to enter recovery and download mode via VOL_DOWN + HOME + POWER and VOL_UP + HOME + POWER but it doesn't work.
Is there any other option to enter download mode and flash the original firmware or is the device bricked?
Nevermind, I got into download mode again by plugging in the USB cable and pressing VOL_DOWN + HOME (NO power button) for several seconds. Flashing the original firmware worked
did you manage to flash lineage os ?
