Hi. A few days ago my Galaxy S stopped working. This is what happens:
The phone turns on, shows the Galaxy S logo and makes the usual sound, then a black screen appears. The back and menu touch buttons are lit up. It stays like this forever and nothing else happens.
Some info about my phone, it is the Bell i9000m version. I first got the updated Bell 2.1 firmware and about a week ago upgraded to Froyo through Kies. I haven't rooted the phone, or applied a lagfix or anything like that. My phone is completely stock other than the official firmware.
I can confirm that I HAVE gotten it into download mode (volume+home+power) and it shows that screen with the green android and text that says "Downloading. Do not shut off target" but that's it. Kies doesn't recognize the phone, even when it's in download mode.
I've already contacted Bell, and they want to take it in for repairs. From what I've read on this forum, I might be experiencing the corrupt SD card problem. Is there anything I can do to try and fix it before sending the phone off to bell? The loaner phone they gave me is awful.
Any help is appreciated.

Yup, sounds like the problem I had when my phone died. To make sure though, get into recovery mode, Volume up + Home key + Power. When the white Samsung name appears, let go the home button until the Samsung name disappears. The phone should go into recovery mode. If not, try it again but this time release the power button instead of the home button.
Once in recovery, go to factory reset and click the home button (This will wipe all data from your phone so you will have to reload all apps and data you installed). If it works, then you most likely have to re-flash the phone, but if you get a message like this...
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
then the internal memory is most probably cooked.
I have read that by using Odin and flashing the phone with JL2, the phone can self-repair the dead SD issue. Read about it here, the posters name is cloudrainstar, about half way down the page.
Where are you located? I am in Montreal and brought my phone into the service center and after 2 days they replaced it with a new phone. I feel lucky that some people have waited for weeks and I only waited 2 days.
Samsung - Service Absolut
3391 Griffith Street,
St. Laurent, Quebec,
H4T 1W5
514-738-8333
if you are not in Montreal Contact Samsung Electronics Canada Inc. @ 1-800-726-7864. They will send you a shipping label to return your phone directly to Samsung.
Good Luck,
Ian
I tried the recovery thing just now. The factory reset happened very quickly but it said successful. However, this hasn't fixed the problem. Does that mean I'm ok to try and re-flash?
Bell tech support told me to try and factory reset, which I did. They said this is actually an INTERNATIONAL issue caused by the SOFTWARE. He said nothing about a dead SD card. Strange. Any other suggestions?
By the way, he said I shouldn't deal with Samsung directly because my warranty is with Bell. I live in Toronto if that makes a difference.
From what I have been reading, Bell has really bad tech support when it comes to the SGS. Contact Samsung at 1-800-726-7864 and ask them what is the best thing for you to do, send it to them or to Bell. I have heard about people waiting for more than 5 weeks to get a phone back from Bell.
As for it being an international issue, that is possible, but for the majority of people here on XDA, the problem is with the I9000M, Bell's version of the phone.
If you want to try to flash it your self, get the JL2 file from here and use Odin to flash it. Get Odin here.
Read up on flashing your phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596
as I am not experienced enough to give flashing instructions.
Give it a shot, what do you have to lose?
Ian
Hmm, I WANT to try and flash the phone but I'm really worried about messing it up. Can somebody tell me the possible risks of re-flashing it myself?
From what I understand, if I send my phone to samsung all they're going to do is reflash it anyways.
An update. I didn't see it at first, but in the recovery menu before using the system restore or other functions, it DID show that Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 error (no such file or directory). I guess I'm out of luck then.
To any bell galaxy s users, do you know if it's fastest to get this phone repaired through bell by phone, through bell at one of the service centers/stores, or through samsung directly.

Defiantly through Samsung directly.
Why not give this a try, cloudrainstar said his phone worked after flashing JL2...
cloudrainstar said:
I was on XXJPY PDA and UGJK4 Modem (With UGJK4 SBL), and I decided to flash the SBL and Modem for UGJL2...
After that was done, my phone went on, then off, then on, then off... ad infinitum.
I thought the SBL might have killed the XXJPY PDA, so I reflashed that, only to find that it's still doing the same thing...
So I flashed the UGJK4 SBL, and the phone booted... but goes into recovery and tells me it can't find mmcblk0p1...
I flashed a kernel with adb enabled and checked: mmcblk0, mmcblk0p1, mmcblk0p2 were all missing!
Since I have access to download mode anyways, I decided to flash the entire UGJL2 Rom...
At first boot, it booted, then kinda rebooted itself again, going into recovery, then it said something on the recovery screen about wiping cache, and "verifying filesystem"... Then it was able to install the CSC!? After that my phone booted into UGJL2 without a problem...
I wonder if this means phones with dead internal sd cards have a fix now?... Or if someone would be able to extract whatever it is in this ROM and fix sd cards without having to flash this ROM too? (Like the three button fix?)
Tried some more things...
After I was able to boot into UGJL2, I flashed XXJPX directly on top of it, hoping that it will all work from there. But it didn't work, I went back to the "dead" internal sd state. I flashed UGJL2 again, and let it do its magic again, the phone did the same thing, reboot, start, reboot again, start into recovery, attempt to install CSC, then says "deleting file", then installed CSC again, and "verifying the filesystem".. and then it went in again!
It looks like the SBL and the Recovery of this ROM is working together to "fix" the SD Card?

Here are some instructions...
Download this file, it's JL2 from Bell, many thanks to Chainfire for this.
http://www.multiupload.com/UTFJCCIP5H
Save it to your desktop. The file is called...
I9000M_JL2_JL2_JL2_JL2_UG_BMC
Uncompress it onto your desktop. you will have a file called: I9000UGJL2_homebinary_add_param.tar
Leave the .tar file intact, do not uncompress that one.
Next, download Odin and also save it to your desktop and uncompress it.
http://www.filedude.com/download/JS0sHyCZ1C5a6d42b02d
Open Odin
Click on the PDA button and choose I9000UGJL2_homebinary_add_param.tar from your desktop.
Do not click anything else!!
Put your phone into download mode, Volume Down + Home Button + Power Key
Plug your phone into the computer
Odin will see it and will look similar to this, though the com port might be different...

Click on Start and leave everything alone until Odin is finished. When Odin is finished the phone will reboot possibly two or three times. Give it a few minutes (possibly 10 min) to boot up.
If it continues to boot or if nothing happens after 15 min, you will have to send it to Samsung.
Hope this helps,
Ian
Thanks for the tutorial! I'll try it out later.
An update. I tried that flash. Nothing. I also tried a ton of other flashes. I tried Jl2 again, followed by a SBL flash and even a speedfix kernel flash.
Still nothing! Now the samsung galaxy logo just flashes constantly after I turn the phone on.
So I guess you have to return it to Sansung. I would flash JL2 though as it has the i9000M on the flash screen showing it has a Bell Rom on it. If there is only a i9000 without the 'M', they might not warranty it because it was flashed.
I did this and everything was fine.
Ian
I had the same problem ... went into recovery mode and reset the phone back to manufacture default.
Was a pain, but wasnt parting with my galaxy s

Hey guys this maybe the wrong section but i have a solution for you guys if you are stuck on G1 logo in another words if your phone is bricked!
simply take your current sd card out of the phone on which you did the jailbreak, put it in the computer and delete the current update.zip file and put the working firmware on it. i tried the rc33 and of course rename it to update.zip put it in the sd card, now put the sd card back in the phone and go boot screen by holding the home and power button alt+l for menu then alt+w to wipe then alt+s to update and let it run after finished press home and back arrow to reboot and you are all set! went through the same thing tonight and was stuck but i tried it and is working perfectly fine! and sorry for those who might have resolved this issue in another thread. just was too excited to give u guys the good news! tell me if this works for you!
Good Luck!
thats not a bricked phone bricked is when no recovery or no bootloader

sorry to burst your burst your bubble but that is not the brick that everyone is talking about. brick means no recovery or bootloader as previously stated.
now onto the questions
1. why were you going for rc33?
2. why is your recovery image that old?
3. -insert sarcastic question in here-
omg lol
this "solution" is posted everywhere hahaha
this is a soft brick. A brick is when you can ONLY see the G1 loading screen, nothing else. If you can get into bootloader (Cam+Power) or recovery (Home+Power) then your not bricked. We are still looking for a solution to that however.
A lot of people have been calling that a brick even though technically its not. Thats probably why you thought it was a brick. Thanks for trying to help though. im sure someone will find this thread useful
sorry guys and thank you!
Thank you guys for letting me know this is not bricked! nd maybe it would help someone like me who is still new to this!
now onto the questions
1. why were you going for rc33? (couldnt find a working link for other firmware)
2. why is your recovery image that old? ( now i have 1.5 but still looking for a better mod)
3. -insert sarcastic question in here- ( not sarcastic but whats the best firmware for this as of right now?) and if u can give me the link for it!
again thank you guys for ur response!
Well you can use Cyanogens 1.4 Recovery Image. Thats probably the best right now. and RC33 is OLD (since like before May, donut is at 1.6 now)
You can search for Cyanogens 4.1.999 ROM, Akirah's 3.0 ROM, or Enomthers ROM
those are the main cupcake builds updated to 1.6
i prefer to suggest amon ra dream recovery since it has more options and auto partition in it
just a modded cm-recovery1.4 recovery
here's the link to it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566669

Truly Bricked
I don't know where to post this anymore... There are so many "Brick - Unbrick" threads now its almost ridiculous. I am wondering why anyone hasn't figured out how to push the ROM to the actual hardware with just a usb cable and the proper programing. I am assuming of course that the manufacturer or the ROM chip does something similar to this when the device is first manufactured. Wouldn't there be some one who has figured this out? Isn't that basically how it works? Isn't that basically the same principal? Somehow forcing the hardware to run when there is no ROM flashed to the hardware?
Well i dunno if it will help any, its just my own rambling thoughts, and i figured maybe some one is a lot more capable than me might benefit from the idea....
what happens to all bricked (hard bricked) phones
although a truly bricked phone can be used for spares and repairs but how much would it cost to buy one brick?
I need to buy one bricked g1 urgently guys. any help at all?
hi everyone..
i think i bricked my phone yesterday.. after update of the radio (6.35.08.29) the phone now wont start...

i am planning to take the phone to repair, and saying it happend during one of the htc updates..
but if someone out there could help me unbrick i would really appreciate it.

I had almost exactly the same problem, nothing works for me. Phone keeps rebooting after HTC logo. recovery is no go.
HTC service center needs to replace the motherboard in the end.
good luck
Are you certain that you cannot even get into fastboot? Take battery out, unplug the usb cable and put the battery back in to stop it from getting stuck in a reboot cycle and then hold back and power on.
If you cannot even get into Fastboot then thats about as bricked as you can get i'm afraid.
I performed a SPL flash, the phone rebooted ,it took long time rebooting so i got panicked i pulled out the battery ( wasn't a smart move ).
tried to start the phone.. now i was stuck at the first splash screen.
-pulled out the battery and back again start the phone... stuck at the first splash screen or boot looping endlessly,
-did all possible key combinations to get in fastboot, recovery mode... nothing.
-cried for help, got directed to a post similar to mo my case... worked for me hope it dose for everyone else.
here is what i did (followed):
-On the PC, i ran the command 'fastboot boot recoveryimage.img'.
-At this point the command says 'waiting for device' (or something like that).
-I removed the battery.
-went sleep
-woke up in the morning, went back to my old duct taped SE phone
-came home in the evening
-I Connected USB.
-I inserted the battery.
-I booted the phone while holding the HOME key.
-The phone still froze at the first splash screen, but then suddenly, the waiting fastboot command detected the phone and booted the recovery image!
flashed again but this time checked all steps twice before i check them a third time, and flashed the SPL and radio and the rom.

sounds like you may have not installed radio/spl in the proper order.. shouldnt be a problem if you can get into fastboot... please tell us exactly what you did, and in what order..
hey,.. sorry for the long time since last time..
i sended in my phone
i couln't get into either fastboot or nothing else.. the CMD said waiting for device when tried to fastboot while in logo..
the only thing i could get into (that booted otherwise) was the action + power
i first updated followed a toturial where i updated my phone.. first spl, then radio, and then recovery img..
but since i read about people having probs with a radio where the phone boots but after a 4 secs restart i installed a new radio and thats where the probs started happening.. and then i could not get past the boot logo..
thx for the many answers and sorry i first come back now to see ..
if they cant fix my phone i will try follow ur guide Ch3w
BTW
as soon as i get my phone back i am up for another go i think..
i got a sapphire 32a.. can anyone give a link to a good tutorial?
thx
From my limited knowledge, u are always supposed to update radio first then spl then recovery.

I followed that exact one.. but when the 6.35.10.18 failed (kept reboot every 3-5 sec) i decided to install the 6.35.08.29 instead and thats where it failed.. :/
THIS! NOW! COME ON!
This is my problem also! Please help me to un-brick.
As I saw on youtube, it's a 'semi-brick'.
It's not a brick if you can go into fastboot.
Riffbox unbrick
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Sorry to hear mate, hope it gets fixed. Don't really have any helpful suggestions for the un-bricking part, but next time upgrading radio etc., I'd suggest using Eyegor's radio switcher. Although if you sent it to the dealer, you'll probably have to re-root if they fixed it (but I know, that you know how to do that, you helped me in my early days )
I'll keep my fingers crossed!
Try this. i tried and it worked for me. press the power button and home together and push the battery in at that time. it would take you to recovery .
Ok, the guy I sent it to, couldn't make something, so the phone will return to me, possibly tomorrow.

Hello Guys!
My Problem (I've looked for about 2 hours in the forum, but can't find anything similar to my situation):
Got my new LG G2 (D802, 32GB, Android 4.4.2) today. I wanted CyanogenMod on it, so i unlocked it, etc...
But as i have installed in recovery mode, and after that i always got stuck at the CM 10.2-Boot screen i decided to install the stock android back onto it.
i went into download mode, choose the right .kdz-file and tried to flash it with LG Flash tool 2014.
But it got stuck there at 20%. My current situation: I can't get out of the screen where it says "Firmware upgrade and 0%, und below is "B75" and "rooted". When i press the power button for some seconds the screen gets black, then the LG logo appears and immediately the Firmware-upgrade-screen appears, again with "0%" and "B75" and "rooted".
I also can't get into recovery mode: When it push volume down and power butten, and it asks me to do a factory hard reset and i press the power button to confirm (when normally then the recovery mode menu appears) it changes automatically again to the Firmware-upgrade-screen.
Thanks in advance, hope you can help!
Were you doing all this with the phone still plugged in? If so disconnect and long press power for 15 seconds. Then again try to enter recovery. If you still can't get in, power off and retry download mode again with a fresh connection.
it's not working.. i've powered the phone off, then i get with volume down and power button to the screen where i have to confirm twice with the power button and them next comes the firmware upgrade page...
i have also no chance to get into the download mode with volume up and connect cable..
any other ideas?

Well what you're describing there IS download mode. At the top it says firmware update. The progress bar reads zero until it detects an update being performed. Like this...

That's download mode. Maybe check in device manger (if windows) while the device is plugged in and on that screen. Does it show up as LGEAndroidnet USB serial port? If yes, that's the proper indentification as well. If not, how is it showing up?
Hello,
yes in device manager it shows up as "LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (COM6).
My G2 is exactly stuck like the one in the picture you've sent.
I thought i could try this solution on ubuntu:

But it also can't fix it, because when i plug my G2 in, ubuntu says: "MTP-Device could not be read."

Problem solved warranty service. Update KitKat soft, but no't have offical info and lollipop update. I don't understant that LG Suite have yesterday update.
Same problem here,
my LG G2 D802, unrooted phone with official 4.4.4 got message to update it to lolipop, and I am now stuck on Firmware Update screen.
LG Mobile Support tool, was showing that I am making progres, but on the status bar i got stucked on 32%, then I started again, and then got error on 40%, then started again through LG mobile Support tool and got to 50%, and the same to 60%, then 70%, and this last time i am stucked on 92% and my LG Mobile Support tool forced close.....
And now its downloading again update, and maybe now it will go with all 100 %, dont know what to do.. this is so....
I thought it was driver related problem, but i changed machine, from pc to lap top, and the same thing is happening..... Every time it stops, first it writes on mobil screen with red letters ASSERT
and on status bar on LG MST it freezes, but as i sad, every time i get more % very strange
Same here - unrooted stock KK d802 - started doing the update, it failed, now stuck on the firmware screen with no way out...
i had the same problem, after several times i gave up and tried kitkat to revert back. Errors kept going but after several times it reached 100% and i am in kitkat now. I will try again today.
Yup, its probably somethnig wrong with the software that they rolled up to us.... after 10th time, it reached to 100%, but know i am stuck without network and signal,
and I get error messages "proces android.com has stoped" on every 3 seconds, I am losing my mind here realy
Do not update it, just wait for a few days, until they fix this
This is first time in my life, that I bought android phone, and that i didnt touched it, unlock it or root it, and with offical update i am having problems that i never had with custom roms

My Problem (I've looked for hours in the forum, but can't find anything similar to my situation):
Got my LG G2 (D802, 16GB, Android 4.4.2) today. I wanted android l on it, ( MADE IN KOREA BOUGHT IN UAE AND NOW I AM USING IT IN INDIA)
it got stuck while updating from pc suite as thei was a shortage of storage although i had more than 1gb of storage free.
I can't get out of the screen where it says "Firmware upgrade and 0%, und below is "B10" and "unrooted". When i press the power button for some seconds the screen gets black, then the LG logo appears and immediately the Firmware-upgrade-screen appears, again with "0%" and "B10" and "unrooted".
I also can't get into recovery mode: When it push volume down and power butten, and it asks me to do a factory hard reset and i press the power button to confirm (when normally then the recovery mode menu appears) it changes automatically again to the Firmware-upgrade-screen.
what to do to get my g2 back to life
pls help
Don't know if this works for anyone else but...
I got mine stuck on the firmware screen because I was holding the volume up button while it was booting up. So I removed it from the computer and took out the battery. Then I put it back in, booted into recovery mode and rebooted to bootloader. It went to the lock screen and I didn't lose anything.
Help
I have a similar problem, my phone is stuck on 0% Firmware update and says in a little box: 910K B100. I have tried powering off but it doesn't work. Please help.
Hi Guys,
After trying to start my s7 edge, i have got a frozen screen and bootloop to samsung logo... Blue light still like this and Green light flashing slowly behind the blue light.

So i tried to force restart it by pushing Volume Down+Power Button, not any response...
Today i did a flash firmware ( G935FXXU1DPLT_G935FOXA1DPLT_BTU_FULL_SAMFIRM.NET) by Odin and all seems to be ok by Odin... See the screenshots. S7 got restarted but still freezes as in the beginning.
Any help please??

I tried to boot recovery again, same issue... I didn't install new application or something added to phone for more than 2 weeks, from then i haven't observed issues with my s7 edge.
I tried back to flash it now, but with my 7% low battery, i couldn't hope more than this ! i'm letting it charging now until his 100% then i'll retry to flash it.
It doesn't charge or shows any sign of life... what the hell! what must I do???
The best solution for that is bring your phone to samsung service center or wait for other member reply in this thread. Maybe some other could help you with your problem. Anyway i'm sorry couldn't help you.
Did your phone is rooted before? Its strange that happened to your phone. Or did you flash anything or something in your phone before?

Hi man,
Thanks for the reply.
I didn't flash berfore or tried to root it. i just used Lucky patcher for non root user.. don't know what it could do to the s7 edge knowning that it hasn't privilege to change anything in the software of samsung.
Problem with samsung warranty, is that about 10 months ago s7 edge felt on the ground, got back cover little bit broken. so the local shop told me that sure they will ask for reparation because there is a crack behind the phone so certainly that the issue comes from the crack... so i think i'll just repair the cover and send it properly to samsung, 'cause it stills under warranty.
i've got him back but problem is when i launch the odin flash, it reboots the phone and makes a fail for the flashing rom... it does a bootloop...
I'm not sure bro but sounds like your eMMC phone is broken that's why you're not allowed to flash firmware. But try to contact other expert member here try to send a pm message maybe they can help you out.

I have had similar issues.
If the phone does not react to any pushing of buttons, I suggest you completely let the battery drain. Just leave it for 28 hours without charge. Then charge and try again.
Second, if you can get into download mode, use samsung smart switch and or Kies to get emergency firmware recovery going. This also worked for me.
If the phone does not react after powerdrain and recharge, hand it in to a service center.

Yes SmartSwitch on the PC.
It has the recovery option. You must be able to get into Download mode on the S7

Sorry if I am over simplifying but it is important to be very accurate. As you state that "you" flashed the nougat software? Sounds like you used odin or
Did you:
1) Put your phone in download mode? (not recovery)
2) Did the PC recognise your phone?
3) Did you use Samsung Smart Switch on the PC?
4) Did you use the Menu in Smart Switch on the PC: "More", "Emergency Software Recovery and Initialization" option?
5) and then choose Device initialization
6) Input your model name exactly (on the back of your samsung eg SM-G935F?)
7) Hit "OK"
Let me know what happens

I'll try it this evening, because 100%'s battery to drain take about 28hrs like you said.
Hopefully your method will work for me
See you soon
He is right try to use Samsung Smart Switch it's officiall software.
Had been rooted my phone before, didn't like it because I couldn't use my banking apps. Back to official firmware via Kies, been using for few months... no problem until yesterday. I charged my phone up to 92%, I unplugged and unlocked my phone, it restarted itself then never come back live again.
I used Smart Switch for another stock firmware flashing with no luck. The software skipped downloading from 85% to 100% immediately, it was ok installing system update on Smart Switch but when the phone completed and restarted, on the screen it shown "erasing" and "installing system up to 32%", it won't get pass above 32% except a blue dead android with loading icon, it freezes every time.

I went to Samsung store yesterday, however once they see knox has been tripped, they refused to fix my phone unless I pay for a new motherboard which will cost me £220. :crying:
I have been trying to flash any official firmware using both Smart Switch, Samsung Kies and Odin, Android 6.0 or 7.0 and every tools lead to blue led black screen or boot looping. I have tried at least 10 times of each methods, even ADB mode, but ADB won't offer much choices except 'adb sideload' commands but it verify each package. So I cannot install TWRP recovery and so on... Odin won't install TWRP recovery as well, it failed every time.
It is sad to see this phone die on me. I have never dropped this phone and it has 0 scratch on it... still looks brand new! If anyone of you could help me out getting this baby alive, I could pay you little money.
Thanks for your time!

I've tried this solution more than 10 times with no luck
Have you tried flashing the boot.img recovery.img ect separately? I had this kind of thing on a different Samsung and i fixed it by flashing each one separate.

That's good idea, which option should I use in Odin? Should be AP option right?
The files should work with their own options I'm not too sure which ones work with which, and there is a set order to flash in as well which I'm not sure about either.
---------- Post added at 03:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 PM ----------
They all have their own button I think pal
What about fastboot flash?
I finally revived my phone!!! I'm so happy right now
I'll provide these solutions if anyone has the same issue like me. What I did altogether was:
1.0) Remove devices from your Google accounts (I had 2), wait for 48 hours to cool down? Although not sure if this option caused the bootloop, might be useful for someone...
1.1) Downloading the oldest firmware from https://www.sammobile.com flash it using Odin 3.11.1
1.2) Upload BL, AP, CP and CSC files, but I uploaded the correct Pit file too! WARNING: Be sure you know what you doing before trying to mess with this! Otherwise don't try pit file! Leave the options by default! Unless you ran out of choices!!! but I've ticked auto reboot, re-partition, f.reset time, nano erase all and bootloader update for my case. Then start to flash of course.
2.0) Phone were still crashing upon system update... I waited out the battery to drain up. Until next day... Tips: If there's no led light, try to sense it with your face if there's any temperature
2.1) Plugged in ur phone and see if there's the battery charging icon. If there is, you're in luck.
2.2) Charge until 100%, turn it on. Hopefully you can boot up now but I couldn't...
3.0) My phone was still in boot looping (Samsung Logo), I had to turn on recovery mode and wipe + format system then mount /system for whatever reason... then restart using the recovery mode...
3.1) At this time, I finally past through the boot loop which I'll be in the Google sign in screen!
4.0) Phone was in the oldest firmware, of course I will update the official firmware automatically, however the first update didn't make it, and stucked on Samsung logo again!
4.1) All I did was wait a little bit about (25mins) and reset again... somehow it fixed the issue and boot back in.
4.2) Then system update every single firmware up to the latest, boom! I'm on the latest firmware again and everything is up and running!
5.0) Extra tips: Make sure you have up to 60% battery life before turning on recovery mode, but I had to charge up to 100% for my case.
5.1) Remove FRP lock (google accounts, remove devices) might help?
5.2) On recovery mode, wipe cache and format system again might help too!
Good luck guys, I was about to give up trying after 20 flashes (Smart Switch, Kies, and Odin with different pc too!) and had to wait for battery to drain everytime if it stucks! Which annoys me but I made it!!
Glad you got it sorted ?
I would recommend Batman ROM if your willing to flash again.
Same happen to my Phone many times!
Solution!
After a few Reboots your Phone will stuck with screen of or may a blue led on (pulsing) or without any reaction (black screen, all led off) !
Now you have to wait until your battery will be empty compl. Can be up to 18 hours and more! depend how much your Mobile was loaded! or until Led light is off! is your phone still warm? Than it is still draining!You have to wait untill it is complet off and getting cool. Or, if u can, get it in the download mode, with sreen on it will be decharged faster! but mostly your phone will stay death.
After all that, Phone is cold and no Led is illuminated, plug your Phone to usb charging! Wait a little time until you can see the normal charging screen and orange Led is illuminated! (if charging screen will not upper, you have to wait longer!for decharging battery)
let it charge untill it is complet full! Dont touch! Wait at leasst 8 hours and more with charger still connected ! Best is overnight.
after this usely your phone will start normaly , without loosing any data!
Thats what helped me many times!
All my tries with bootloader, software brought nothing, just lots of waisted time and lost Data! you not need to del your phone at google!
Try this, it will work

My phone turned out to be a faulty motherboard, went to Samsung support centre and they repaired for me within 3 working days. Now I got a sort of a new phone, it has 0 scratch since I bought it last year Feb, so it's like a new phone to me :laugh::good:
But yeah, motherboard was acting weird, was lasting a week then breaks again... finally motherboard was dead, so I could repair it without seeing the knox being triggered. Phew
