Hello Everyone,
Few days ago, i build Mozilla OS(boot to gecko) for my galaxy s2 and flashed it, but after i did a "wipe data" in recovery, it bricked my phone:crying:,
so after a long search i found that "EMMC" partition is currepted or in other words its bricked
and now i cant flash any ROM through recovery or Odin.
WHAT IS "EMMC"
i am not a developer or any genious, so i just explain you in simple words
EMMC is a partition in which your data is stored. and if it currepts or bricked then u can,t use your phone.
NOW its time for SOLUTION
SOLUTION 1
if u still have access to the "Recovery" and "Download Mode"
then here is a simple solution which i used until i did not found the real solution for EMMC
so let,s start
Download Siyeh Kernel 5.0.1 from bottom
Go to "Download Mode" By pressing volume down+home+power button for 5 second
Connect your galaxy s2 to your computer
Start "Odin"and click on PDA file and select where you download "Siyeh Kernel" and click on start
After flashing completed your Phone restart now press Volume up+home button+power and keep pressing until you see the "Recovery Menu"
Now go to "dual boot" option and wipe data for 2nd ROM (it take some time)
Now select install zip from internal SD card or external SD card (it depend upon you that where you have a Rom file)
After installing ROM, restart phone, after galaxy s2 boot logo you will see option to boot to 2nd ROM, now press home key to start your phone as second ROM,
Yahoo, now your Galaxy s2 is alive again:victory:
if you don't have a ROM in your internal or external SD card then go to "mount and storage" and connect your phone to your computer and select the last option "mount USB, it will show your internal and external both cards on your computer. now put any Good ROM in your memory card
SOLUTION 2
it is not my work which i am going to share with u,
Thanks to hg42 for providing pit files for galaxy s2 and also for providing recovery script
here is the link to his thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667886
but it is basically for galaxy note so i write this thread specially for galaxy s2 users.
let me explain what is this
when your EMMC or Data partation is bricked then only way to survive is to cut off the infected part of the EMMC
it mean u just leave the bricked part of the EMMC partation
for this u need to locate the faulty part of the EMMC
emmc_find_brick_start.zip will start a script and where it stopped it mean it is the starting point of the Bricked EMMC partation and note that point for me it is 1028MB
emmc_find_brick_end.zip will start a script from downward and stopped where the fault part of EMMC is finished. note that one for me it is 2296
and i use this PIT file
i9100_16GB_u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4--patched--brick-between-00713-and-02323-MB--DATAFS-moved-by-01536-MiB
00713 is the stating point and 02323 is the ending pint, for you it may be different.
before starting this process please save your efs-backup to your computer or on your external SD card
Enough lesson for all of us :silly:
so let,s start
Download and copy these two file to your SD card emmc_find_brick_start.zip and emmc_find_brick_end.zip
Now go to recovery and click on install zip from SD and click on emmc_find_brick_start.zip and note where it stopped
Now run the 2nd zip emmc_find_brick_end.zip and note where it stopped
Now download pit file and find the right modify pit file for you
Now go to "download mode" and start Odin on your computer and connect galaxy s2
In Odin check the "re-partition" box and then click on pit file and load the pit file (One you have selected before)
Now click on start after it completed your phone will restart now again go to download mode and flash a stock ICS firmware
4.0.3 is good firmware
and yahoo, galaxy s2 is now fully alive
After installing ROM, do not start it and go to recovery and then go to mount and storage and format "System" and "Cache" and "Data" and "Internel SD and re install the ROM and then you can use it
I am Not Responsible for any damage and there is No Guarantee that it work for you or not
for best result please read hg42post
you can download All the necessery files from this link http://www.mediafire.com/?4f98kjl59o85oha
Best of luck all of you and please tell us if you are succeeded

Depends on what part of chip got faulty, Some even got it to boot, but started facing other problems.
Sh4dy is right and
If some part of the data partation is currepted then you can solve it through this method....
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
my current rom is 4.1.2 xwlse, can i use this method (solution 1) on this rom?or this method only for ICS rom?
in my case i have a S2 with eMMC HardBrick and also the riff won't flash the resurrection code, there is a solution for to "cut" the bad part of the eMMC directly from RIFF?

First and foremost, I just joined because of this post.
Secondly, THANK YOU bilalbasra, may Allah bless your soul! :angel:
OBS, still getting a samsung logo with a yellow triangle on reboot, but quickly followed up by the correct booting (in my case cyanmod)..
Solution nr 1 worked for me (I strongly suggest noobs like me to follow 1 tutorial, and not several at once, hence all the mixup and problems).
Used 6-7 hours finding the solution. Thank you again. :laugh:
would method #1 work for me if im using a Galaxy S2 T989D version my phone is functional, i can go to download mode, recovery, even use the phone regularily but with RR, freezes, weird FCCs. I think its soft bricked because i cannot flash any ROMs through recovery or ODIN. i cant even ODIN back to stock 4.03 jellybean. (ODIN recognizes and passes phone but no effect).
thank you for any help

My phone got stuck on a bootlop after installing an app.
I used the stock ICS recovery menu and selected factiry wipe and now it's absolutely dead wont charge or turn on at all.
I'm guessing there's nothing I can do to fix it?
Is it worth it to buy a jig to force it into download mode?

PIT Info:
Changing PIT file (repartitioning ROM) will not affect mobile phone's speed.
PIT files will repartition the mobile phone's ROM (Read-Only Memory). Changing (repartitioning the ROM area) will modify only the space trade between the /system and /dbdata.
What is CSC?
CSC = Country Sale Code
CSC code depends on the region where the phone was sold.
CSC contains the phone settings (internet, wap, mms...), specific applications which available in certain regions, and operator customizations.
CSC code could be changed by flashing a new firmware (including CSC file) on phone. That will change phone language and settings.
Use *#272*IMEI# code on phone to view the list of the available CSCs, or change CSC. (Changing CSC will erase the phone!)

.pit file
.PIT file is used for full flashing method, this is only advisable and useful for reverting back to original firmware when previously installed unofficial ROM or to fix softbricked devices like unable to boot normally.
I hope not to be OT in this thread and sorry for my bad english.
I would like to ask a question about the recovery / download mode.
It is necessary that the device is turned off before using the specific combo? (vol. up/down + home + power)
Can I go into recovery mode even when the terminal is already on?
If not, why?
Thanks in advance

You need to switch off first, otherwise it will just bootloop rather starting in recovery.

Are you asking if you can go into Recovery or Download mode when your phone is on,ie,w/o switching it off?
Yes you can.For recovery mode press up volume+home+power(strangely enough any combo works.power+home+volume but keep them pressed till the phone reboots and you see the Samsung GT-N7000 logo then u can let go.
For Download mode press down volume+home+power(again in any combo)
Hope i answered your question

I already tried going into recovery mode with the phone turned on without bootloop problem!
I'd like to know if this is a correct procedure or not, because there are people who say they can usually do.

Thanks a lot.
Lots of people have bricked their phone while repartitioning and using PIT.
I would say read carefully when you try it.
If I ever get superbricked I'd just kill it with Angelom test kernel or if I want to return to clean state - I'd flash any safe kernel - perform factory reset, format system partition and sd card then flash latest stock firmware available for my region.
doesn't work

Reboot into recovery and wipe cache and data.
Hello guys,
Here a easy way to fix a bootloop on your rooted Zenfone 2, if you make the error of apply an OTA while being rooted for example.
The only inconvenient of this method is that you will lost your internal data (like SMS, apps, downloads... But not your photos if they were in your SD Card). Another thing, you must have enabled the USB debugging before.
PS : I’m French sorry if my English is not perfect
Step 1
In your Zenfone 2, verify that you can go in fastboot mode : power off your Zenfone. Then, press the Power-On button until the phones vibrates twice. Release it, then go press the Volume+ button until this screen appears :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If that works, connect your Zenfone to your PC.
Step 2
Now go in Asus Website for download the most recent stock ROM of your Zenfone 2 (size : around 1.1 Go) :
ZE551ML : https://www.asus.com/fr/Phones/ZenFone_2_ZE551ML/HelpDesk_Download/
ZE550ML : https://www.asus.com/fr/Phones/ZenFone_2_ZE550ML/HelpDesk_Download/
ZE550CL : http://www.asus.com/fr/Phones/ZenFone_2_ZE500CL/HelpDesk_Download/
Remove the SD Card of your phone and copy it the zip, you can do it after if your connection is slow.
Step 2.5
I’m not sure if this is mandatory but do it by prevention : install “15 Seconds ADB Installer” : here a guide for intall it :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Step 3
When this is done, download the folder named : “CWM_Zenfone_2_Intel.zip” :
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/w70w7r1a65840/Zenfone_2
Extract the files, then open the folder :
Step 4
Run “cai_dat_CWM.bat”
Type “ACCEPT” in the command window, in capitals, then press Enter.
Then, if your Zenfone 2 is connect to your PC in fastboot mode and if the script is blue, that’s perfect !
Type “T4”, press Enter, and normally something like this will happen in your Zenfone 2 :
Step 5
Shortly after, your Zenfone will reboot in CWM Recovery Mode
With the buttons, go in :
Install zip > choose zip from external sd card > *name of the stock ROM* > Yes, install
When the installation is done, reboot your device, and normally the bootloop will be fixed ! CONGRATULATIONS :good: :victory:
i tried to wiped cache in recovery mode but before it completes i restarted the phone
so now when i start my phone it just blinks error bot and even when i select recovery mode same thing happens
i also tried to solve it with ADB method but it do not detect my phone
PLZ HEPL ASAP!
Worked! Thanks!
Thank you so much! :good:
It worked for me. Although I had to clear cache and dalvik cache before installing the zip, otherwise my phone would reboot into fastboot when trying to flash the zip.
And best of all: I didn't loose any data!! Just had to root again using method 3 and install busybox.
I edited my build.prop because on the Amazon App Store there is an app (Navigon Europe) that can't be installed because Amazon says my device would be incompatible which it isn't because the Play Store says it's fine. Anyway, upon rebooting I was stuck at the splash screen. Luckily I was still able to get into fastboot...
Thanks again!
Still doesnt boot up
Hi! Thank you for your guide! I ran into a bit of a problem, maybe you will be able to help me out.
I by mistake did an OTA update while rooted, and my phone is now stuck on ASUS logo. I tried to flash different roms from external SD card, but even though they install correctly, phone still does not boot....
Fastboot gives me "permission" problem, ADB says device not found....
Any help would be greatly appreciated, because I am about to give up and go buy another phone.
Thanks a lot in advance

I’m not sure if this is mandatory but do it by prevention : install “15 Seconds ADB Installer” : here a guide for intall it :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Step 3
When this is done, download the folder named : “CWM_Zenfone_2_Intel.zip” :
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/w70w7r1a65840/Zenfone_2
Extract the files, then open the folder :

Step 4
Run “cai_dat_CWM.bat”
Type “ACCEPT” in the command window, in capitals, then press Enter.
View attachment 3458829
Then, if your Zenfone 2 is connect to your PC in fastboot mode and if the script is blue, that’s perfect !
View attachment 3458830
Type “T4”, press Enter, and normally something like this will happen in your Zenfone 2 :

Step 5
Shortly after, your Zenfone will reboot in CWM Recovery Mode
View attachment 3458841
With the buttons, go in :
Install zip > choose zip from external sd card > *name of the stock ROM* > Yes, install
When the installation is done, reboot your device, and normally the bootloop will be fixed ! CONGRATULATIONS :good: :victory:

Hello. I believe I did the same exact thing . Did you by chance ever get back into Recover y mode or get the PC to recognize your phone. I'm a total novice with this, and very lost. Thank you.
Yesterday I did it too. Follow this guide http://valuestuffz.blogspot.com/201...uck-in-recovery-wipe-cache-partition.html?m=1
i was hope ... but
Hi! there.
i spend last to days literelly trying to fix my zf2 ZE551ml, it gets frozen when i wipe cache so i force power off... what a mistake.
i was trying to fix it, and i got it worst. i think i erase recovery menu, so i can't adb sideload, fastboot saids that can not load image system.img, asus flash tool said "flash image failure (failed with error #1), xFSTK works to bring fastboot menu, but since i don't have the file to put on OS dns space, it didn't work, but, after hours and hours, in my last try of a long nigth, i did this guide.
when i see a cwm icon, i can't believe it!! almost made my entire two days, but suddenly, it was all sad, when i tried to install from external sd card it says that there is an error. And the problem still there. here is an option to install zip by sideload, but in de pc said not device detectec.
i really don't know what to do, i'm really tired, and my options are getting over...
any ideas??
Thank you all!!

Thank you for suggesting this guide! It did help me to get back into the recovery mode, however, after following the steps within the guide very diligently. I am still unable to get past the initial loading screen. . I received the permissions denied error just as the post suggested I would. I wiped the cache partition at the end of following the steps as suggested. Still. It will not load to the Welcome screen .
So I downloaded a 16mb OTA update and let the tablet do its thing without touching it. I waited for the tablet to boot up, but it was stuck in a black screen for about 12 minutes until I decided to turn it off and on. It didn't work, so I went to the recovery to do a factory reset and clear the cache, but it still didn't work. I later went to this Russian forum here from this thread. I downloaded a lollipop rom and proceeded to flash it using Phone Flash Tool Ver. 5.2. It went well until 16% in where it failed. Unfortunately, I don't have a screenshot of this.

After all this happened, I tried to start it up but I got the message "Boot Failed. EFI Hard Drive. Boot Successful - Enter Setup"
And now it won't go into recovery mode, but it does go into fastboot and bios setup.
Since it does go into fastboot, I tried to use a tool from this thread (Temp recovery) to use a temporary cwm recovery to hopefully be able to at least boot into that, but that didn't end up working.
I got another rom from the same Russian site that had differently packaged files but still the same stock lollipop rom.
I tried to just use the recovery from there to manually flash it using fastboot, but it still failed.
I later found this thread with these instructions for this problem.
1. download and extract this file someplace on your pc
2. uninstall your existing Phone Flash Tool and from the drivers folder install both files (Intel Phone Flash Tool and Android Driver accepting defaults) reboot pc when finished
3. place your tab in DNX mode (from power off press and hold both volume keys then press pwr to start, in a few you screen will show "Fastboot starting..." message and hang on that. you must get that message on your tab screen, restart from power off until you have it)
4. start the installed Phone Flash Tool and load flash.xml from the extracted YT2-830L... folder then Start Flashing, it will reboot when done

The file he linked in his post (ionioni ) was gone but I still tried to do this with the roms I had. And guess what? It still didn't work. The instructions said to place the tablet in DNX mode (meaning fastboot), which I did do...only when I put it into fastboot, it was set to DNX_OS which came to say "Wrong device state" in Phone Flash Tool.
I've tried what I could, but failed. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi folks,
had the exact same issue and indeed the 1st link offered (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1LaMEhefCBgYzNTOUxJZmtWQ0E/view) worked like a charm.
The second link is to download the "Intel platform flash tool lite", but I used my existing version of the Intel Phone Flash Tool (5.2.1-0) which worked fine with the image.
In other words, Corasman, it appears you have saved 2 people's life (or at least tablets) with your solution, so Thanks ! :good:
Regards.
Make that 3 people! Thank you so much corasman - your post has finally fixed my yoga 2 tablet, which I was sure would be going in the bin. Can't overstate how grateful I am - Cheers!
update 830f with 1050f rom?
updating 830f with 1050 rom? does it work?
hello. I have the same problem. I update OTA to lolipop. Since the table is slow, i tried flashing some ROM (which i cannot recall) and the tablet stopped working. Now, I am trying to flash the link you provided and it succeed. However after that i get blank Screen. what Could be wrong. My table is YT2 830LC. Please help
I am typing this all over again after my full report vanished. Do not have the patience of typing all that again. Suffice to say I had a similar situation with the boot failed EFI Hard Drive. Boot Successful - Enter Setup" message on my 830LC.
I had even found the bios restore tool for moving back from lollipop to kitkat but it too would hang. And attempts to flash lollipop would fail immediately with the same message as the OP, wrong device state.
So, in spite of it seeming completely counter-intuitive, I flashed the 1050F rom in the link shared by Corasman. Strange as it may seem, my tablet is now alive and working. No calling function, but it is working and calling itself a 1050F.
Now my research has to shift to whether the 830 LC rom can be flashed now.
i have a same problem with yoga 2 pro 1380f mr corasmancan help me

Hi there ! Hope you're doing all right
I had a lot of issues recently with my phone : Crosscall Trekker M1
It all begin when I started to remove entirely Google from the phone.
I rooted it and took the liberty to delete all that mention google.
I unfortunately delete a system file and that how my problems began.
(I called couple of times the Technique Assistance from Crosscall's Website but they weren't able to help me and I had the same story with the SAV --> the after selling's services. I gave up about asking them help and I decided to solve the issue by my own.)
So for now the phone start on bootloop, (I cannot use the OS anymore) so I can launch it in Recovery mod only.
After days of researchs I found the original stock rom for the Trekker M1 !!
On the recovery : After I wiped data and cache of course :
I tried to install the Rom with the option : "Apply update from sd card" but it didn't worked.
So I tried to install differents Custom Recovery like CWM and even renamed them update.zip but I had the exact same issue:
"E : failed to verify whole-file signature
E : signature verification failed
Installation aborted."
I also wanted to try Odin but apparently Crosscall's phones doesn't have a recuperation mod (I dream that someone got me wrong on this :crying: )
I've got a few clues about all this :
I guess the Debugging USB Mod isn't enable anymore on the phone
Maybe the versions of ClockWorkMod weren't compatible at all with my phone.
All I know is that the phone is rooted;
The recovery's version is : "Android system recovery <3e> LMY47V release-keys"
So know you know everything
Does someone think, he or she can help me with this ?
Thank you for your attention !

So it appear that the Crosscall M1 got an emergency mode. I can launch it by pressing Vol + and Vol - when I'm plugging the phone to a computer by USB.
At this moment a message show up :
"Authority indentification not found !"
"Long press power key to continue ..."
and if I do it :
No update file in TFcard!
X
Update failed!
Long press power key to power off.
If I start the phone on Emergency Mode with QFIL working (what I need to do) nothing happen.
I still have the message No Port Available on the top of QFIL.
So I'm wondering,
Do you think I can fix in some ways that problem of unrecognized device ?
or
Is there a way that I can install the Rom by choosing to install it as an update with the Emergency Mode. The Rom files would be the update that i put before in a "TFcard" in some format ?

After a lot of research my device still isn't showing on QFIL.
But for a time he showed up on "ADB Driver installer". I plugged the phone by USB and started it with a special combinaison (almost like the Emergency Mode's combinaison) that I'm still trying to remember.
There is also another a new thing. If I start my device that I plug before by USB and only with the power button :
My computer recognize it and the Driver Software Installation try to install MTP USB Device.
The operation failed everytime but for now I'm happy that the device is recognize.

Yes I did said that, adb worked for a time.
I'm not sure to understand what you mean by "the file system" and "push it " with adb
The thing I'm sure of is that I'm rooted :good:
I'll continue my researchs.
Posting in response to to general confusion , for example here and here. If you like it, please click "Thanks" below (bottom right) :fingers-crossed:.
Ingredients (plus links)
Best to use the latest versions available at the time you read this guide. I noted the version numbers I used.
TWRP (I used 3.2.1-1)
Odin (3.13.1)
Magisk (16.0)
Latest ROM from your device, regardless of country, from Updato (slightly faster downloads) or SamMobile. I used the latter simply because it had a more recent version.
Preparation (about an hour)
1. Create full backup using TWRP, because you’ll need to wipe your data (and then restore it from backup). Plus, with a backup you’ll always be able to return to the current state of the device.
2. If not enabled, turn on Developer Options. Then, go to Settings/Developer Options/OEM unlocking. Turn on OEM unlock. Otherwise, you may encounter an error when attempting to flash ROM.
3. Boot into Download.
4. Whether you downloaded from SamMobile or Updato, install using the instructions here (bottom right side)
5. Follow the instructions to disable forced encryption and dm-verity, and to mount internal storage (DATA). Source and files are here
5.1 Install the relevant boot patch for your device below. This can be installed with ODIN or extract the boot.img and flash with TWRP:
T820XXU1BRE2_dmverity_patched_boot
T825XXU1BRE2_dmverity_patched_boot
5.2 Boot to TWRP
5.3 Install the Forced encryption patch: Tabs3_oreo_forced encryption_disabler
5.4 Format DATA using the *FORMAT DATA button* under the wipe options.
(NOTE - THIS WILL WIPE ALL INTERNAL STORAGE!)
5.5 Reboot and check DATA is mountable
6. Root by installed Magisk (or SuperSU). Instructions under “To Root” in the source above.
7. Reboot and verify that the system works right
8. Now, use the TWRP backup to restore your data.
You're done! :good:
But how do you get TWRP if it's not already rooted? Thanks

Why would you need root to install TWRP?
Also I'm not sure of the need for these extra instructions.
I had forgotten TWRP is the first step via ODIN. Ignore me! This guide looks good for custom ROMs too, swapping out the image. Thanks, it is clear now and I am running rooted Oreo
Hi,
I think you really want to help because it's confusing indeed, but you forgot to mention how to install TWRP installation or didn't make distinction between coming from a Nougat or an Oreo stock ROM.
I know that tutos are not so easy to make because you must explain in a simple but clear and comprehensive way. I would do it myself if my english was better and if I had installed TWRP and routed my device myself.
But to do that ,I need a good tuto.. And if I had one, obviously I would not need to write an other one by myself !!
After rooting the device it is necessary to add this line at the end of build.prop, because otherwise screen mirroring is not working:
wlan.wfd.hdcp=disable

It's not possible once you flash Oreo. There are e-fuses that are triggered when you flash a newer version of andriod and they don't allow flashing an earlier version.

Good day dears,
I already posted my concerns on another forum which later found out that the steps it showed were taking from here.
the***********.com/install-twrp-root-galaxy-tab-s3/#comment-6493
Hi, I followed the steps until step “Install TWRP Recovery #9” I removed the wrong finger and it booted. I turned it off and when I turned it on using the same method, it went into the TWRP mode and I continued the steps until I reached the step to turn on "Enable MTP button" but it was already on as the only option was to decibel it. in any case, my tap s3 was not showing up on the PC. When I tried to restart it just loop on but not continuing to normal power up.
When I decided to try to do factory reset and use the factory button sequence, its always goes to TWRP mode not the factory reset options.
I don’t have any impotent data on the device, all I ever wanted was to change the aspect ration from 4:3 to 16:9 for my wife to play games and watch movies which require rooting. And now here am I trying to get out of this situation.
I appreciate all the help you can give, and thank you in advance for taking the time to read my problem.

Good day dears,

Hi, I followed the steps until step “Install TWRP Recovery #9” I removed the wrong finger and it booted. I turned it off and when I turned it on using the same method, it went into the TWRP mode and I continued the steps until I reached the step to turn on "Enable MTP button" but it was already on as the only option was to decibel it. in any case, my tap s3 was not showing up on the PC. When I tried to restart it just loop on but not continuing to normal power up.

You'll need to flash the stock firmware with Odin and start the process over again.

If you've already got to twrp stage then all you should need to do is format data and install magisk at the same time

Thank you for taking the time to reply, yes I can access TWRP but when I connect it to the PC to move files to it, my PC doesn't see it. I pointed to this because I'm not sure if magisk is a file built in TWRP or it is something I need to transfer from the PC (which is not seeing my Tap connected).
Apologies if I'm double checking, its just I don't want to jump on action that might complicate things because I was not clear in explaining my issue.

Magisk is a separate zip file that you need on your device to install with twrp. After you have twrp installed you could use wifi, or cell if you have it, to download the magisk file from your device. Just Google magisk 18.0 zip.

MTP should be working both in twrp and android.
Note that if your internal storage is still encrypted it won't mount in twrp.
These are the steps I did:
Reboot Tab S3 into Download Mode
Connect tab to the PC
Opened Odin in PC, clicked on the AP button then transferred file twrp_3.2.1-1_T825_29518 (my Tap has phone chip), then unchecked the “Auto Reboot” box. Finally clicked on Start to begin the flashing process. Once it is complete, disconnected the device.
until this step all is well, the next step is where I messed up.
I wanted to boot into TWRP recovery mode, I held the Volume Down, Home, and Power keys. As soon as the screen went off, release all the buttons instead of only the Volume Down key. this allowed the Tap to boot, and when it reached the the security pass-lock, I turned it off.
Then retried to boot into TWRP recovery mode, it went there fine, then I started the Decrypt process (Wipe > Format Data and enter “Yes” in the provided field after it finished I went to Reboot > Recovery). The device rebooted back into TWRP, connected it to the PC. Then went to Mount, there I should tap on the Enable MTP button however for some reason it was already tapped so i left it as is.
At this stage my PC should be able to connect to the Tap, but its not seeing it.
So I tried to boot it up maybe then I can connect it like before and try to move the folders this way, but it kept looping on the Samsung logo.
Tried going to the factory reset, but it always goes to TWRP recovery mode. So here am I stuck in TWRP don't know what action should I do.

Don't use the cp in Odin. Leave that blank.
