I searched and didn't find an answer yet. (I'm checking other forums as well) Last night I grabbed Kies mini, everything was working fine, firmware was downloaded to the computer, phone starts downloading the firmware, half way through the dl Kies stops and throws an error. Now when I boot the phone I get a black screen with a phone on the left, two dots, yellow triangle with an exclamation point, two dots, and then a computer. Any ideas? The phone will not boot into "Emergency Recovery". The phone is completely stock if that helps.
Solved it, while trying to get into dl mode let go of the power button but do not let go of the volume up and down. Kies recognized the phone and continued the update from last night. This was all done while the phone was connected to the computer

Hello,
I recently saw that it was possible to upgrade to 2.2 so I downloaded kies mini and gave it a go. During the process kies gave me message saying that it failed to update and it also gave me instructions on how to go into emergency recovery. I pulled out my battery and then plugged it back in, and i got a message with a phone a triangle with an "!" and a pc, i looked it up and i got it off by holding volume up down and power then letting go of power, now i am back at the downloading... do no turn off target screen and idk what to do. I don't think that the vibrant is connected to kies because i have kies opened and all it says is please connect your mobile phone and it also gives me a button for emergency recovery. Please help me =( Thank you!!
Ok so this is my first post, hope I'm in the right section. This will be a long post as I've tried everything I could find to fix my problem.
So I bought a Fido Samsung Galaxy S4, I9505 SGH-I337M from an online auction site (not ebay). The phone is completely stock, its not rooted, no customer recovery, nothing. Phone was in wayyyyy better shape than I expected, I would say near mint with original box, charger, cable etc. Everything worked great except the wifi, as other people have reported it would not turn on, toggle switch would move over and attempt to turn on, but after 15 seconds or so it would switch back to off. I also tried 3rd party apps to manage wifi connections without any luck. It was running the firmware ending in NE1 so I thought updating it to the newer firmware, NI2, might have this fix. Since I couldn't connect to wifi I figured I should do it manually following the instructions I found on sammobile.com. So I downloaded Odin 3.07 and the new firmware that IS the right one for my phone. I shut off the phone, pulled the battery, put it back in, and put it into download mode. I connected the phone, Odin detected it, I selected the firmware and press start. It took a few minutes and then failed (this was a few days ago, I don't remember the exact error I received). So, I tried again but it kept failing, so I shut off the phone, pulled the battery and turned it on. It booted to the screen with the exclamation mark that says a firmware error occurred and to use Kies to recovery it. I tried using Kies but it wouldn't detect the phone. I ended up using a fix I found that had me flash some file that started with philz_touch something like that. It was from a youtube video called "firmware upgrade encountered an issue for s4 fix".
And that fixed that part, as I could now get back into download/odin mode. When I turn the phone on it just sits at the "Samsung Galaxy S4" screen, no blue light or flashy graphic. It will just sit there forever. Obviously there is a problem so here is what I've tried so far to get Odin to work.
Using Odin 3.07 I tried flashing the firmware ending in NE1. Odin confirmed MD5, but after pressing start only a few seconds later I get "There is no PIT partition"
So I tried to find a PIT file and did. So I shut off the phone, unplugged it, pulled the battery, and put it back into download mode. I closed and reopened Odin 3.07 and used the PIT file I found and the NE1 firmware. This time it failed again within seconds with the error saying "complete(write) operation failed". I have tried 3 different firmwares, with 3 different USB ports, with and without the PIT file, and with both Odin 3.07 and Odin 3.10. I've also tried doing it with my antivirus deactivated. Samsung Kies still won't detect my phone when its connected, but Odin detects it every time.
When I try going into recovery mode I get
"Recovery booting.....
Recovery is not Seandroid enforcing
Set warranty bit : recovery"
It just sits there and nothing happens. Pressing any button does nothing except power as I can shut it off.
So I'm at a complete loss of what to try next. I've tried every solution I could find so I'm hoping someone has a suggestion of what I could try. PLEASE HELP ME!!
Me too! Help!

Hello,
I have a problem with my samsung galaxy s7 edge. When I try to put it on the samsung logo appears for a second or two and then I see a black screen again, there is also written 'Kernel is not seandroid enforcing' in red letters in the left corner of the screen. Nothing seems to help, I don't know a lot of these android things, but I have been looking on the internet and i have tried a lot of things. First of all I've tried a hard reset (press and hold the power, volume up and home buttons), when I do this, I get the same screen as I put it on, but now there is 'Recovery is not seandroid enforcing' in the left corner instead of 'Kelner'.
Then, when I press and hold the power, volume down and home buttons and I click continue, my phone comes in download mode. I've seen a video about about a factory reset out of download mode so I thought there was still hope. The only problem is that I cannot connect my phone with my PC neither. My PC can't recognize my phone. I've tried to use different USB cables, I've installed USB Drivers on my PC, but nothing seems to help. I've tried to use ODIN, Smart Switch and Samsung kies, but they can't find my S7 Edge. There is also an option where you can enter the buildnumber and SN thing (idk) of your phone and I've tried that to. The only thing that happens is my phone who begins to charge and a sound on my PC that says that he is connected to a device, but he can't see him.
I really don't know what I have to do now, does somebody has a solution to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance.

When did this issue start happening? Did you try to install something custom before this issue started?
If you can get into download mode, you can fix it. Try another PC with Odin. With the drivers installed and in download mode, Odin will pick it up. Once the phone is shown in Odin, flash stock.
I presume you have tried to root it or something, perhaps using a method for a different phone which explains why it won't boot. Or perhaps you have tried to flash TWRP?
.
Thanks, I'll try it with a different PC and yes I've rooted my phone to install xposed framework but this was like a year before this problem happend and I think I have unrooted my phone after.
Hi. Browsed for ages and always come here for answers.
Here's my problem.
2x S8s. SM-950f.
Updated to most recent software through software update. Both phones were glitchy and crashing and just generally irritating after.
Factory data reset etc. This did not resolve the problems, also led to one of them having issues with FRP (annoying)
Used Odin to try and flash the latest firmware (from sammobile, UK BTU) after flashing both, they reset and powered on. Got stuck at the S8 screen.
Restarted then both were at the "an error occurred during update" screen.
Managed to get back to download screen. Re checked the software and model numbers, even that the bootloader was the correct version etc. All was fine.
Connected to Odin, shows that it is connected, but nothing happens when clicking start.
Now after attempting that, both phones will not power on.
(One will when placed on the wireless charger, but just sticks at S8 screen) and download mode or reset screen can not be accessed. So, not exactly happy. And totally out of ideas
Any suggestions, beyond taking it to a shop to see if anyone can help.
yes .....dont tuch the phones for 24 hours let the battery die ...it will...connect to pc and then try download mode....u may need to press combination for like 1 minute to get to download mode....flash twrp reboot directly into it when odin says successfully .....wipe system data ....dont turn on phone download any custom rom flash and enjoy.....it will trip knox but worth than getting a new board....
Okay, will give that a try.
TWRP?
TWRP install
https://dl.twrp.me/dreamlte/twrp-3.2.3-0-dreamlte.img.tar.html: Download link for twrp SM-G950F (dreamlte)
Just said, wait until your device powers off due battery insufficience. Plug cable and hold at the same moment vol(down)+bixby+power. Then press vol(up) at the warning screen to proceed to odin mode. Let it charging a while like 1 h. Then unplug it and plug it to your pc. In Odin select ap the previous downloaded file. Take your mobile in your hand. With one hand, prepare your fingers to vol(up)+bixby and with the other hand start the flashibg process. Be careful, and take your hand directly from the mouse if you clicked start in odin, and position your one finger to power button, but dont click. If odin start pass, press immidiately the buttons (vol(up)+bixby+power) and let it to start into recovery. If you arrived to recovery, reply to us if not search for help!!!
Good luck

i have the same issue with my s8 but when i boot in download mode the screen goes black but if i press volupe up it connect to odin with black screen you shoud give it a try
Will try that
Okay, downloaded TWRP, can get phone calls nected to Odin but when I extract TWRP it doesn't give a valid file type.
Am I being dumb.
No files appear that Odin will recognise.
Also just shows as "recovery" no .tar or anything
Ignore above. Corrupted download.
Sorted.
Now when flashing TWRP is gets to a fail due to
"Complete (write) fail
Hi you should try flashing official firmware

Not sure what stage your at and maybe some more useless ideas
1. Trying to flash twrp is kinda of useless if you can't get into your system need oem unlock for that.
2. Have you tried taking out Sim card and SD card and reboot.
3. If you can at least boot try smart switch as it has a emergency recovery option.
4. Trying rebooting in safe mode.
All been attempted
I was going along ok until I made the fatal error of transferring the Magisk patched file to PC via MTP instead of taking the time to re-learn adb, which must have corrupted it. Thus predictably Odin hung and I am in trouble.
Where I am stuck is being unable to turn the phone off to come back in download mode to start over with stock firmware. I have been unable to find any secret button presses, and the battery doesn't seem to want to die leaving me with an $800 paperweight.
I did search around for this first and didn't find any real answers. Has anyone found an effective solution to this problem? Thanks.

If Odin recognizes you device, you can flash firmware in emergency recovery.

Thank you, but the PC won't recognize the device. What does happen is the emergency recorevy screen tries to come up. I tried starting in download mode with bixby+vol down then USB. I did get the battery low enough where I don't get the teal screen of death anymore, perhaps it is too low for USB to work? What I was hoping for was the charging animation but no luck. Surely this is just a software problem and there is a way out.

Did you try getting into recovery and perform a data factory reset and then see what happens?
Just load the stock firmware BL, Ap, cp and home csc into Odin if you see emergency teal screen. The emergency screen will start loading
Black screen ....Perhaps your battery is dead?
Thank you all for the replies. I had let the battery get low in a misguided attempt (based on advice elsewhere) to get it to shut off. I had to let it charge a while for it to wake up enough for PC to see it. Then I was able to flash in Emergency Recovery mode.
Thank you for the help.

Glad you got your device up and running ?
Maybe someone can help me. I seemed to have borked my phone. I kept getting "Google is Stopping" with no way to fix it, so I tried reflashing my firmware in odin. After I loaded all the files and hit start, I realized I didn't untick auto reboot, so I tried aborting the installation and ended up with screen (I've had it before and got out of it by still flashing in Odin, but now, if I try to reflash firmware while in this screen, it's stuck on SYSTEM in odin.
Any help appreciated!
Try this
That is where I got stuck. Are you trying to flash stock or patched firmware? I had to start over with stock as I copied the patched via MTP instead of adb and it got corrupted.
I think what I did was unplug and reset Odin. Wait for screen to turn off, then make sure it is at least 80% charged. Then Bixby + Vol Down + plug in and you will go back to this screen. Then I was able to flash stock. I had to go so far as to re-lock bootloader and flash stock again since my "OEM Unlocking" was not just greyed out but missing. Since then I've had no time to try again, but at least I have a working phone.
This is my anecdotal procedure, can't say if it is the right or best one.
Hi All,
I was trying to flash the latest firmware for my device (G9750ZCU2ASG4) and during the odin process, my computer restarted which failed the update halfway through. I rebooted the computer, tried again, and it was trying to establish a connection for a really long time, so I disconnected my phone from the USB port on my computer, and held Power and Volume Down to try and force reboot the phone. I was going to try and go back into download mode to restart the process. My phone mentioned something about needing to do an emergency recovery, but I continued to hold down the power and volume down keys and then everything went black on the phone.
I've tried multiple USB cords, all of the button commands known for the device, and have even tried to perform the emergency mode recovery on my device, but it seems like it's in some sort of locked state; What I mean is the phone is stuck on a black screen. I can't "boot" into recovery or into download mode. The phone doesn't even vibrate when I hold the power button or power and down to try and force reboot it. Odin doesn't recognize the phone when I plug it into the computer nor does the device manager on my windows computer.
Does anyone have any experience with this sort of issue or any idea of what else I can do to try and get into download mode to flash my firmware again? All help, suggestions, or comments regarding this are much appreciated.
Sounds like the battery is dead
Hi Dude, I am struggling with the same problem, read this post and it came to me, had to come back and give you the solution.
Press bixby+volume down, IMMEDIATELY after the screen goes off, hold volume up and down while connecting the USB cable super fast.
You have got like 10ms to do it
Otherwise it just goes back to the AVB FAIL screen
Ran into this issue, none of the above worked for me.
This is how I resolved:
1) Placed phone on wireless charging mat and let it boot to emergency recovery screen
2) Load TWRP into AP slot of Odin and leave the window open on your computer ready to flash
3) Connect phone to computer whilst it's on the mat and press start in Odin as soon as your device appears
It may fail a few times but if your quick you can install TWRP.
4) Now boot into recovery and let your phone charge to a reasonable level (above 20%)
5) Boot into Download mode and flash your desired rim via Odin
