Pretty sure I can't do anything at this point, but just wanted to give it one last try. My problem was after I flashed TWRP I went into TWRP recovery mode and did a factory reset. I booted into system and it was just loading with the phrase "starting android" so i decided to go into recovery mode and wipe everything (i know i'm an idiot). It's my first time doing this so yea... but moving on I thought that would solve the problem but now I have a bootloop because i had also wiped system and basically i'm ****ed. I tried going into recovery mode and download mode again but i couldn't because of the bootloop. Tried combinations like volume up + power button, volume up + volume down + power button, volume down + power button. When it's in bootloop it shows "samsung galaxy s10" logo (not the "samsung" logo) and then a warning saying i have the bootloader unlocked and then another "samsung galaxy s10" logo with the warning/sign saying "The phone is not running Samsung's official software. You may have problems with features or security. and you won't be able to install software updates.". Model: SM-G973F CSC: SIN ||| NOTE: I AM NOT AN EXPERT WITH ANY OF THIS STUFF SO IF YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS OR IDEAS PLEASE COMMENT, IM LITERALLY IN NEED OF ANY IDEAS OR SUGGESTIONS T_T.
nvm, i accidentally got into download mode and followed a yt vid online and it worked.

Product Name: SM-G930A (Galaxy S7)
Carrier: AT&T
I am unable to get into recovery mode to wipe the cache and do a factory reset.
By pressing the key combination (Home + VolUp + Power), I am able to trigger the message "Recovery Boot....", however right after that instead of going into Recovery Mode it immediately restarts back to the splash screen and loops.
(Buttons do not appear to be stuck)
I can get into download mode. I have tried using Odin to reflash the rom using the rom I used before. However, this doesn't change the experience I described above. I have let the phone die out completely and powered on to the same experience. I am unable to remove the battery on the Galaxy S7. The phone is rooted. I did have on Xprivacy and Xposed. I was also working with SetCPU and other apps to improve the speed the night before. I was under the impression though that I can always wipe the whole thing clean and start again.
Please help me out of this loop.

Hello,
I've got a problem with my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 SM-T210 . Here's what i've done:
1. I've flashed him with TWRP recovery using ODIN.
2. Recovery didn't work, but main OS booted fine.
3. I did something stupid. I've clicked factory reset and confirmed it.
4. Now device boots up, tries to go into recovery mode and fails and it's stuck in a loop. (logo shows up, then black, litted screen, then power off)
I have no connection with PC - dmesg on Linux is totally silent, Windows doesn't see the device too. Can't do anything.
Is there anything I can do ? Is there a "hardware" way to reset it without using JTAG (just tell it to boot into main OS instead of recovery)? I'm an electronic but i don't specialize in phones and tablets so I don't have JTAG interface and it's pretty expensive.
Best regards and thanks in advance for any help.
Ok nevermind. I've got it working.
Somehow the download mode went to HOME+POWER+VOLUME DOWN instead of HOME+POWER+VOLUME UP as it was normally.
I was able to flash newest CWM and everything is working fine.

Download mode on Samsung has ALWAYS been volume down+home+power or volume down+power, not volume up.
Recovery on Samsung has ALWAYS been volume up+home+power or volume up+power. Most if not all devices use the volume up to boot to recovery.

Hello. I accidentaly flashed a wrong recovery into my P5110 while no software was there. As a result I cannot boot into recovery or download mode. I get the following results depending on the combos:
Power on -> bootloop
Vol up + power on -> bootloop
Vol down + power on -> I get a menu with a warning asking whether i want to proceed to download mode (vol up=cancel/restart vol down=continue - both result in a bootloop.
Vol down + vol up + power on = normally bootloop but when the battery is off it switchess off the tablet
Is there any way i can boot into a mode that will give me access to fastboot or connect with odin/heimdall to be able to fix it?
Now you say: "Bye bye P5110 It was good to use you".
If you can't boot into odin mode, then there's nothing you can do except for replacing the motherboard... Who knows what that recovry did to your partitions especially if its for another device.
Ok the panic is over. Turns out that I'm an idiot and the volume + and - buttons are laid out the oposite to what I thought (it's my girlfriend mum's tab), so i've been using the wrong combos all along. :silly: Once i figured it out i got it into download mode no problem and reflashed with odin. PS. The broken recovery came from one of the threads here. I guess serves me right for flashing random crap without reading anything about it.

glad you got it fixed
I was experiencing sudden restart of the device with no reason for last 2 days, today I flashed a ODIN flashable ROM to get rid of software problems, but later on today, It restarted, stuck at Samsung Logo, then I make it prompt download mode (vol down + home + power) and then selected cancel to restart, after this this device literally bricked, Just the blue LED is on, tried booting / booting to recovery / booting to download mode/ every possible combinations of the buttons. Nothing happens . Is there any way to save this or it has died ?
So the phone is a S5 SM-G900P, it is stuck in the Sprint logo when booting and the volume keys are broken (power and home keys work).
Developer mode and adb weren't activated in the phone previously
What I have tried:
adb doesn't recognize my device
bought a JIG that gets me to the download mode screen
I have flashed 3 official firmwares using odin ( G900PVPS3CQD1_G900PSPT3CQD1_G900PVPS3CQD1_HOME.tar.md5/G900PVPS3CQC1_G900PSPT3CQC1_G900PVPS3CQC1_HOME.tar.md5/G900PVPU3BOK4_G900PSPT3BOK4_G900PVPU3BOK4_HOME.tar.md5)
All the flashing goes smoothly, but like i said gets stuck in the sprint logo on all 3
I've read that going into recovery mode and wiping dalvik cache and cache plus factory reset fixes the stuck in carrier logo screen, but with no volume keys i can't access recovery mode.
So i'd love to hear any input or any ways you guys come across that can help me
Much appreaciated
Fix!
After ages the solution was to flash G900PVPU3BOG1_SPT3BOG1_SPR_Sprint_USA_v5.0_Repair_Firmware.zip by tsar3000 (google it cuz i can't post links) via odin. It's a repair firmware.
Hope this helps someone in the future
