My phone recently soft bricked. TouchWiz became unresponsive and then I restarted my phone using the power button.
My phone then proceeds into a bootloop, which I presume is a soft bricked based from reading around.
What I did was downloaded Odin 3.09 then downloaded my stock ROM from sam mobile. After the copying files it went to recovery boot, and then gave me that error when updating.
I also tried flashing stock ROMs that were dated before the month I purchased my phone. No luck
I tried flashing CM 11. CF auto root, and then CWM, CM 11 then GAPPS, when I rebooted it went directly to Download Mode and it said "Could not do normal boot" at the top.
Need help on this please. I don't have any alternate phones. :/
Much appreciated.

My S4 is stuck on the download screen every time I boot it goes straight to the download screen with the message "Could not do a normal boot."
I have tried to flash recoveries but its still the same. I also tried using the key combination to bring up the option to reboot but it reboots back into download mode.
I was flashing some new 4.4 roms and then I don't quite recall how it precisely happened. I may have been updating my clockwork mod as I was trying to recover some sms from nandroid backups.

You are lucky to have use of the "Download Mode".
First thing you need to do is to find the correct and specific
Odin Flash official stock firmware/rom for your phone.
Best place to find and download the official and specific stock firmware/rom for your phone is:
http://SamMobile.com .
Good luck!
Ok I've recovered and can boot into stock rom. However now I cant flash any custom roms after rooting and flashing CWM again. It says "This package is for 'jfltexx' devices; this is a 'jflte.' My device is an unbranded i9505 international, I bought it unlocked and can use any provider. How do I fix this error?
I've tried multiple roms already.
Just flash a different kernel the same thing happened to me when I flashed an at&t kernel.
I'm not a complete noob but somehow while trying to wipe my phone and re-install Jasmine ROM 5.X (I was already on Alliance ROM with NC4 before, installed Jasmine but somehow didn't actually wipe everything) the recovery got erased and nwt I get the wonderful Yellow Alert warning while booting saying the software is unauthorized and turn your phone off and go to Verizon.
I have tried using Odin 3.09 to install TWRP and then realized I used Safestrap a long time ago. At that point it was too late and everything I've tried flashing with Odin now Fails almost immediately after starting.
I last tried the stock N900VVRUCNC4_N900VVZWCNC4_N900VVRUCNC4_HOME.tar.md5 file and it failed as well.
I did read other threads but most just flashed the NC4 firmware and were fine.
Can anyone direct me to the actual files I need to get it running again? I really appreciate it.
No one? I still haven't found any working solutions.
All I can tell you is that when I got that "go to Verizon" message, I rebooted to download mode and then canceled out of it to reboot my phone to a working system.

Hello guys
My phone is Galaxy S7 Edge Duos- SM935FD. I seem to have bricked the device.
Below are the actions I have performed.
1. Flashed TWRP using ODIN as described on https://www.the***********.com/root-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge/
2. Booted successfully into the OS. Found superuser app installed.
3. When I went to back to Flash ROM i erased multiple things such as internal storage/dalvik/cache/system after which device got stuck in bootloop. Showing NO OS.
4. I tried flasing Custom ROM Zip files through OTG. The process failed showing package corrupt and still stuck in bootloop.
I can enter recovery/download mode however cant seem to get the device booted. How can I get the device to work either Custom or stock ROM.
I will be going through some threads in the meantime, your guidance is very much appreciated.
Flash stock rom with Odin: This shouldnt be posted on Development Forum but rayher questions and Answers.
Find what your Stock Firmware for your phone is using Sammobile and flash stock then re do rooting and TWRP Process
zzThrain is right -- I wouldn't risk flashing custom ROMs at this stage, especially because many contain new bootloaders or other stuff that might make this even worse for you. Just pick up the relevant Samsung stock ROM file (from, for example, SamMobile) and see if it boots normally again. Once it does, re-do the process *after checking all MD5s of the files you used* -- I, too, have had it happen before that a download went corrupted and I flashed it. If all is well, get into Download Mode and let Odin rip.

Go to recovery mode & transfer rom to phone using pc. wipe cache, delvikcache, data only. No need to wipe internal sd. Install rom & reboot.
if you phone goes to recovery or download mode, no need to worry. If it doesn't go to neither recovery nor download mode, them your phone might have probably bricked.
It's my pleasure to help you if you still facing this problem

Hi
I tried flashing stock rom from sammobile. I could find for SM-935FD hence downloaded SM-935F.
It got stuck at 90% showing System in ODIN.
From the ZIP file which is the file that needs to be flashed among below ? I tried AP.
AP_G935FXXU2DRB6_CL12365438_QB16944063_REV00_user_low_ship_meta.tar
BL_G935FXXU2DRB6_CL12365438_QB16944063_REV00_user_low_ship.tar
CP_G935FXXU2DRAG_CL648265_QB8691891_SIGNED.tar
CSC_OJV_G935FOJV2DRAG_CL12785220_QB16560277_REV00_user_low_ship.tar
HOME_CSC_OJV_G935FOJV2DRAG_CL12785220_QB16560277_REV00_user_low_ship.tar
Now when I try again it immediately shows FAIL. Am i Flashing the right stock rom ?
It Worked. Thanks to all who helped.
I wasn't running ODIN as Admin and also was using an slightly older version V3.10.7.
My stock Note 3 (SM-N900W8) running Lollipop, suddenly showed Set Warranty Bit: kernel. It was not rooted, no custom ROMs, nothing done to it at all. My only input into causing this was reinserting the battery - it then booted up into this error. Ran flawlessly until it didn't. I can not get into recovery. The only thing I can do is get to the downloading screen.
To that end, I've downloaded the Bell ROM for SM-N900W8 android 5.0 using latest ODIN (3.13.1). ODIN shows pass but it boots back into recovery booting Set Warranty Bit: recovery error. I tried a recovery .tar file too to reset the recovery file but no luck there either. Error is still the same (i.e. Set Warranty Bit: recovery) which is showing now...
Nothing has worked using ODIN. I don't know if this is a hard or soft brick?
{EDIT} Obviously I am VERY new to this. I HAVE read everything about how to fix this and I've tried many many times with ODIN downloads. Also tried a TWRP file, and so on. Many, many hours later I have made no progress.
I just need one person to point me in the right direction!!!
Would my next step be to use an SD card with an image file?
ANY help appreciated.
hi
ive got a s8, which was rooted using magisk, but was having issue, so was advised to unroot, remote and try superSU instead.
in the process of flashing stock rom AND 8.0, the phone now boots up to black screen showing verification failed, only option to reset.
when i press reset, all it does is restarts, loads up TWRP which had been installed before,
TWRP runs some program and fails and then phone goes back to black screen showing verification failed.
ive booted it into download mode, in the hope that i can just start again by simply lashing fresh stock rom, but it connects to odin fine, but when i click start, it gives a red error every time.
so i cant access the standard recovery menu as ive got TWRP so that loads instead and it looks as that is corrupted and i cant flash new fresh rom from download as odin brings up issue
ive check another phone and there is no issue with odin or the usb-c cable,
there is an issue with the s8 and odin does not like something in the s8 so wont let me flash anything to it,
any advice would be greatly appreicated.
When you flashed the stock rom using odin did you flash a bootloader aswell as the rom or did you just flash the rom the problem might be that the bootloader was for pie and the rom is oreo or vice versa whenever I flash back to stock I fill all but one of the boxes in odin
i suspect it was all oreo, as i downloaded as a complete file but ill check and get back to you
thanks for advice.
