An error has occurred while updating device software - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

hello,
Some time ago my phone started to lag spontaneously. I had to force boot it in order to get it back working. After few days it repeated, then again, then again. Last time force boot didn't work - got stuck at "samsung welcome screen" All i could do is to enter recovery and download mode. Tried to do everything in recovery didn't work. Tried to flash rom via odin, but after 20mins of flashing stuck at one point i aborted it (stupid af idea) Phone went into screen i enclosed. smart switch doesn't see phone at the same time pc detects it (sound when connecting) odin does too yet still can't flash official rom.

Help me fix my phone

I have a little problem and could use some help. I was running superclean 2.9.2 and attempted to switch over to the community rom. Before flashing the rom I downloaded the stock CI500_VZW_DL09_ECLAIR.tar.md5 file and attempted to load that with Odin(yes i chose pda). I have used Odin multiple times in the past w/out issues. Well this time my screen went blank on the Odin was stuck on param.lfs. When i disconnected my phone it now boots to the screen with a phone, exclamation point and a computer. I closed Odin restarted my computer and tried again with the same result. I can still access the download mode and CWM. When I try to complete a nandroid restore the phone goes through the whole process and then when I click to reboot I get the same screen as above. My next step was to download DI01package3.tar.md5. I tried pushing this with Odin and it got stuck on sbl.bin. Please help me get my phone back.

My Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus (GT-6200) suddenly died, help please!

The unit has been used for about 2 months and remains quite new. It was quite stable before. Yesterday night, about half an hour after plugged in for charging and with WiFi Hotspot turned on for sharing 3G data to another netbook, the unit suddenly rebooted itself. It then stopped at the start-up screen and remained there for several minutes. I kept holding the power button for a few seconds to turn it off but it then automatically reboot itself afterwards, and stopped at the start-up screen again. It means that even complete turning off is not possible.
Trying to enter into recovery mode showed the following few lines:
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Updating application...
Copying Common Apks.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and then it automatically rebooted again. It means that it can't enter into recovery mode normally.
It was possible to enter into download mode. And it was the first time this machine went into download mode. I run Odin Downloader and flashed the official stock ROM. After showing "Pass", the device rebooted itself. Unfortunately, it still stopped at the start-up screen, just showing "Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus". It is really troubesome. I have experience playing several Android devices before and it is the first time I face such troublesome problem.
The device is an official product. The biggest problem is that the original purchase invoice was lost and most likely that I couldn't get official support, repair service or replacement.
May I ask if anyone would kindly provide me some help or advice. Thanks!
Instead of going into download mode go into recovery mode and see if there are any errors. Your scenario is sounding very similar to the one I had in the past.
I just ran into a nasty snag at boot logo as well. nandroid, stock kernel and factory reset were no help. Try Odin back to Stock, it still may not get past boot logo, hold vol up and power to get into recovery and factory reset. Hope it works for you.
Unfortunately I was unable to get into recovery mode even after odin flashing stock ROM.
It rebooted itself a few seconds after displaying some lines of text. I can't see the normal recovery menu.

Help plz

Having various problems trying to flash my S7 out of a boot loop

Had it for 3 years now, it first looped in October 2017, broke all the sensors but has otherwise been working fine since. I also rooted it about 7 months ago in case that makes any difference with recovery. During both of these loops I have been unable to reliably get into recovery/download mode. I left it alone for an hour earlier today and came back to find that it was somehow in Odin/download mode with the text in the top left but still on the boot screen. So I plugged it into my computer, it was detected and then I flashed it with the correct G930T firmware and home csc. Got the success message in Odin and it seemed to be working but it was just stuck on the boot screen now. So now I've just been trying to flash it again with the other csc but it has been failing for a lot of different reasons and I don't know what any of them mean. I did manage to get it to power on a lot more reliably and into download mode, but still having problems. The biggest problem is when I get to either the download screen or warning screen, the screen suddenly gets all glitchy and I can't do anything. Whenever that happens it also shuts off after 10 seconds. This also happened on the Smart Switch emergency recovery screen when I cancelled a stalled flash and then tried to flash it again from that screen. I've also gotten errors when trying to flash from the download/boot screen. The ones I can remember are "unsupport dev_type", "secure check fail : tz eMMC write fail : tz" and "secure check fail : hyp eMMC write fail : hyp". I can't even find anything else on these errors and have no idea what they mean. I also have no idea how it is getting into Odin mode on the boot screen but so far that is the only way I have been able to do anything since I can't get into download mode the proper way. Lastly I tried to check in Smart Switch to recover it but it says the device is unsupported and there is nothing in emergency recovery.

When you flash with Odin tick "'re partition" in Odin options.
When "pass" appears disconnect phone from pc. Force reboot by holding home+volume down+power.
As soon as screen goes black press volume up while keeping home and power pressed. When recovery menu appears choose wipe / factory reset. Then reboot.
What is obviously very important is you are flashing the correct firmware for the device in the first place.
