Bricked S7 - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hi, so i was trying to install the stock rom on my s7 that was running android 9 (and the power button is not working by the way, it was just pressed).
by doing this it removed the twrp recovery that i needed for going in download because if i have the button pressed and i go in download mode it cant click volume up to continue.
when it rebooted from the flashing it started to load the samsung logo for aroud 10 minutes, then it started saying that it was optimizing 39 apps but when it got on 39, the phone didnt reboot but reloaded the boot animation and with the led blue, it still done the same thing. so i just get the phone and reboot to recovery but something strange was happening, the blue led was still there.
after litteraly wait like all day to wait for this phone to turn off i turned it back on and the phone rebooted on recovery and it didnt want to boot to android. now i'm stuck with my phone that can go on dowload mode and recovery only and from the recovery it says on my pc that the phone/device its not reconized and i cant go anyway in download mode, only the triangle and adb does not work.
Anyone that can help me? i just need to go on download mode

I actually open it and i removed the power button cable and it's still has the same problem so i think the motherboard is the problem

unbrick samsung galaxy s vibrant.

i have a real problem, trying to flash my samsung vibrant with odin, (installing the unofficial update) my phone was bricked, i cant get into download mode, the key combination vol-up + vol-down to get to download mode is not working, i can't get into recovery mode either, (well getting into recovery mode has never worked) i tried using adb reboot recovery with sdk and it comes as device not found.
Am i screwed or there is any way to unbrick?

Take out the battery, wait a full minute. put it back in and the case back together without inadvertantly hitting either the power or up/down keys. Now press the down key. While holding it down, hold down the power key. If that doesn't put you into download mode, you have done the impossible. These phones are (almost) impossible to brick.
I have seemed to have done the something similar as I was trying to reflash with ODIN and the phone went black, I left it alone for several minutes and now when I try to turn the phone on I just have a graphic with a phone and a computer with a little triangle with an exclaimation mark in the middle and nothing else happens.

I really think i have the done impossible, there is no download mode nor recovery mode, (well, this has never worked) i don't know what to do, i'm getting my phone replaced.
I tried using adb on my computer, but the device is not found, my computer doesn't recognize my device.

i beg to differ
nothing is working for me either
So I went to This Site pathikshah. com /blog / install-android-2-2-froyo-galaxy-s/ (sorry about the spaces new user and xda wont let me post links, not spamming honest), I did exactly as it said it was working as planned until it reset after install. First instead of the vibrant screen coming up it now says:
Galaxy S
GT-I9000
Then It goes to:
Android System Recovery <3e>
on that screen it says twards the bottom:
update media please wait
E:Cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(Invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Cant mount SDCARD:
your storage not prepared yet, please use UI me
nu for format and reboot actions.
copy default media content failed.
so when I try to scroll through the recovery menu I have to push vol Up to scroll down
also it does nothing when i press the ok button (power button), unless I hold it down then it resets and goes back to the same recovery screen
I rooted the samsung galaxy s then added a rom and the rom is crashing my phone I've tried aboslutely everything don't know what else to do.
i also have a problem
i have install ROM manager and make a back up
went i try to recovery my backup it give me first the original recovery mode i know i have to select update.zip to access the clockworkmod recovery (ver 2.5.1.2 last one) i use the option restore and start it
now my phone just reboot in recovery mode
i'm looking if some one have a working ROM backup
tnx for your help
Drago.

Thank you for the video link. I was up to that point unable to get the download/shoveling droid screen. Now I'm in the process of finally getting the phone back to stock after downloading the t-mobile update that cam through and bricked the phone.
no downloading mode
Hi i was hoping this will help me to reenabeling my bricked samsung. But i cant get it in to downloanding mode. the 3 button way isnt working and the way showed in the movie neither. Is there an other way to get the phone back to work?
I have tried all the methods posted here as well as many others from the link posted above. But to no avail.
I did everything successfully up until the reboot. Whereupon, it would not start. No amount of button combination helped me. And taking out the battery pack is no help either. It just won't start. I could use any advice.
Thank you.
I'm in the same boat now, attempted to odin back to stock and now I have a brick. It's just blank, I cant get it into download or recovery mode using any method described.
Is my only shot the jig method I've read about now?
EDIT
Nevermind, I got it. Pulled the battery, replaced it, held down both power buttons, inserted usb (already plugged in comp w/ odin open), boom..entered download mode and flashed..

Remove the battery and insert it again, now keep pressing the volume buttons and connect the USB cable to your phone, the usb cable must be connected to your pc first.
hey, i also experienced bricking my phone. is there a step by step process how to unbrick it? i need urgent help please. by the way im using samsung galaxy s 4g (
after i have gone to download mode. my computer cannot recognize my device. help me please.
to the post above me. Sounds like you have a bad usb data cable. Grab you a new cable online and you should be good to go
I'm assuming you have already downloaded the drivers to your computer. Sasmung.com will have them

shut the the phone by taking the battery out, put it back in, boot into download mode (vol- , menu, power button), and reflash the rom. If the download mode doesn't show up, then I think your phone is probably hard-bricked....
I think it's gone......

Then it's a hard-brick obviously.....and yes, I think you'll have to go to the service center. By the way, I remember a thread that talks about 'unhardbrick' g3, try to search for it, it may help a lot!
Confirmed: Hard Bricked.....
I visited Samsung Service Centre. Motherboard needs to be replaced. Cost ~90 $.
I'll better get a new phone.

I tried to search for that phone, but I found that every information about that phone is in russian language. but I can't understand Russian.
so I tried to find something in English about that phone. all I could get was this link:-
4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=520024&st=200
which tells how you could flash a custom Rom, (which is not officially for this phone but for some other phone) if you are rooted.
But as this Rom is not for this phone , it contains bugs like you would not be able to open the camera etc.
so you can access the above link and read about it.
tell me what happens!!

I sent it to warranty, i think that will help, because it says root ruins warranty, right? But how can they tell it's rooted when it's not turning on?
Btw, how could i flash a custom rom on that phone, if i can't get into recovery mode? I flashed one on my HTC One V and i first had to intall the custom recovery, so i don't know how i'm to flash it on this phone. P.S. I checked google ''chainfire3d bricked my phone'' and i get an answer that its because its not compatible with Jelly Bean, **** why im never reading app descriptions? and why are they not putting an real warning that its not compatible with some android versions???? So i read some people say that i can delete the chainfire3d's driver manually through the SDK Manager, so i tried that, but in the cmd it didn't find my device, because it says that it was unplugged, and it was actually plugged but it was like turned off because i couldnt turn it on, so i guess thats why that failed for me I have all the right phone's driver intalled in my computer so that couldn't be the problem. if someone can tell me how i can get it to be ''PLUGGED IN'' when phone is actually off, but the USB cable is plugged?

Is your phone not at all turning on or is it turning on and stopping at the boot animation?

Just stopping at the boot animation, but it shows me anyway it's unplugged, even when its on the boot animation. P.S. i somehow got it to recovery mode, i cleaned the cache and did factory reset, but it still just stops at the boot animation.
The fact that there is a boot animation means that phone is not bricked hard.Usually pressing vol up and power button or volume up down and power and holding it for some more seconds brings up download mode or the default recovery. Never try to root phone without cwm recovery it just means that if something goes wrong then your phone is ruined. But I think that warranty will probably find out that you are rooted if they can find the recovery or access the partitions of the phone

Holding volume up+volume down+power my phone just vibrates for like 10 seconds and then stops and nothing happens? Volume up+power just turns the phone on to the boot animation and thats it.

Iespējams ka tur ir risinājums.
can you boot your phone in flashmode? use flashtool to flash stock rom, then root again
čali, tu cerēji, ka tik tikko iznākušam telefonam jau tādas lietas darīt? tas nav nekāds samsungs vai htc, kuram visi uzreiz taisa rootus un custom romus, šis ir tikai kārtējais ķīniešu ražojums. varbūt vari mēģināt pats ko izdarīt, ja saproti ko no šīm štellēm.

Bricked my S10e one day after getting it, i need some help

So, today my dad bought me a new phone because i needed one, an S10e. And i, like a massive idiot, decided to flash it with TWRP to try and root it. It worked, sort of, TWRP recovery worked fine, but the phone was in a boot loop when it wasnt in recovery. So i decided to flash the stock firmware, only that it got stuck on the System part when i flashed it with Odin, so i had the brilliant idea to disconnect and try again, except i ended up bricking the entire download mode. I cant turn off my phone, nor can i go into recovery mode, everytime i try to turn off the phone, it boots up back into the download mode with the Smart Switch error, no warnings, no cancels, nothing. Just the error screen. Now if i try to flash it again with Odin on the error screen, it gets stuck on Boot.
Am i royally ****ed to the point where i cant send it to the store? I got it today so i thought i could take it back to where i bought the phone for a replacement or repair, but if not then i honestly dont know what to do. I tried using Kies or Smart Switch for restoration, but they dont even recognise it.
Ooohh...So sorry. Im going to look around for some help for you.
I used to do this but havent the need in years with the new technologies.
Better to ask over at the Magisk root thread in the regular S10 forum.
You can call Samsung and if its under warranty they can walk you through or do it while connected to your computer.

you should be able to get into download even after that error
just take out the usb cable and hold power + bixby+ vol down to force reboot then just hold bixy and vol down and plug the cable then you are back into download mode and restore your phone. It's not messed up
Search on youtube s9 download mode.

Try to boot in fastboot and reflash all partition.

Thats the thing, if i hold vol down and power for the 7 secs to get out of download mode, it automatically boots itself back into download mode without any "press vol up to continue" and stuff, its just the constant "an error has occured while updating system software" screen and absolutly nothing else, and like i said, i tried to reflash all the firmware back to stock, but odin just stops at Boot, and a message appears on the error screen saying a PIT check failed (thinking about it, i could just be that i downloaded the wrong firmware, i dont actually know what country the phone was made in, and if it helps, i bought it in Lithuania, and i unlocked it with a Lithuanian SIM card, so im not sure what country firmware i should get. One strange thing: i remember looking at the display case at the salon i bought the phone at, and it said that the phone has the Snapdragon CPU chipset, but if that was true then i wouldnt be able to have unlocked my bootloader for Odin in the first place)

Use smart switch, please follow the instructions in this video
You need IMEI and Serial number which can be found on the box of your phone or it will be embedded in the back glass
I believe on the newer version of smart switch you have to enable device Initialization from the preferences tab

Have you tried holding down bixby botton + Volume down then plugging in the USB cable?

yes, i have, and again, nothing happens, it just instantly goes straight to the error you get when you **** up an odin flash in the middle of its work
This is so odd. Ideally a picture of the error screen would really help here. It's usually pretty darn difficult to brick a Samsung phone.
Have you tried using a different USB cable and PC to do the Odin flash?

Sadly i do not have my phone with me at the moment, however this is the exact error screen i get, and its the only screen i get, because it the only thing that actually lights up the screen

Dead boot

Hello, please help. I have a big problem.
I just flashed custom ROM and the installation was successful. When I restarted the phone, it stopped at the "Samsung Galaxy" logo and did not complete and then restarted automatically in this case. I tried to enter twrp, but to no avail. I also tried Entering the download mode, but also it does not work
I hope that someone will help me, and is this how the phone was damaged, or is there hope to recover it?
Try holding power and volume down for over 20 seconds, after the phone reboot keep holding those keys and hope you get into download mode

Does Odin recognise the phone?

Unfortunately not, I even tried to enter it into download mode by pressing the volume up and down buttons and then connecting the USB, and it did not work, so I think it may need a board

Can you disassemble the phone and remove the battery and reconnect it again and try to put it into download mode?

Honestly, no, I haven't tried jaw before But I waited until the battery ran out and tried again to insert the download, but it didn't work either,,, I have a question I first formatted and then installed the ROM, then it succeeded, but after the word “installation was successful” there were words in red “failed mount system root” Then I flashed the rest of the ROM files, then I thought it was over, so I restarted, but it stopped at the "samsung galay - secured by Knox" logo. It does not continue and then restarts itself in this case and does not stop until the battery runs out and stops then I tried to enter the recovery but to no avail and also the same thing with the download mode,, summarizing all this does the phone need a motherboard, or that the matter can be solved?

It can be solved. It doesn't need a motherboard.
Try Chimera tool. It can fix dead boot. You may need to short test point of your phone so that the software recognises your phone.
