Hello dear friends, this is my second phone from tmobile as they sent m a defective one before, I have been out of a phone for around a month or so, and finally got one that worked. I modded it and everything worked fine.
I downloaded and installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2539361
Everything worked fine, until today the app "OTA Update" told me there was a new update for my firmware. I decided I would update it since I thought it was the latest version. The update installed and it reset my phone. When my phone reset, it went into TWRP Recovery mode, I already knew something went wrong but I decided to just restart the phone and see if it would still work.
Once I restarted my phone, the screen turned "beige color" (light brown) with a white line across, I started getting worried and removed the battery.
When I tried turning on the phone again, nothing would work. If I hit the power button I get a response from the phone with a vibration. However everything is black, I see no Samsung logo nothing, just a vibration. Also the 2 physical buttons next to the power button work and vibrate and sometimes turn on if I touch them.
Download Mode
It seems my phone can barely manage to get into download mode, by that I mean the screen will remain black, however If I press the button combination to enter download mode, the screen stays black, however in ODIN it says my device is connected. I tried installing the stock ROM however I get this status:
<OSM> Leave CS..
<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..
<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I also tried reinstalling TWRP so that I could get some sort of recovery, however ODIN installs it fine, but when I try to boot into recovery, my screen remains black.
If I plug the phone into my computer it is recognized by the computer as SGH-M919 however there are no folders inside of it, and the phone's LED goes yellow to indicate it's charging.
How screwed am I? Is there anything I could possibly do to restore this phone back to normal? I have such a big headache right now, and I am desperate for answers. Google has yielded no results. Please, I ask someone who has been in this situation to help me.
Edit: I somehow managed to turn on the phone, HOWEVER the screen remains black. And I can press the volume keys and hear the phone raising the volume, if I press the key down it goes lower and lower and to vibrate. The whole time I turn on the phone the screen remains black. I can feel the touchpad vibrate when I press it (Im assuming im at the lockscreen), however I cannot see anything.
Edit #2: Somehow, I don't know how, I managed to get download mode working (still black screen), I used odin to flash the stock rom, here are the results:

I am trying to use CF Auto-Root for my GS-4 i9500. I power up my phone in "download mode" but as soon as i do it already says 'Downloading... Do not turn on target!!'. I waited for a while (watched a tv show so probably 40-45 min) and nothing changed. The upper left says; Odin mode, ..., Write Protection: Enabled, eMMC BURST MODE enabled. I turn it off and back on in download mode (still says 'Downloading...'), load up the binary, connect the phone to my comp (odin says 'Added!!' and recognizes the COM port it is connected to), and click start. About half the time i get:
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..
<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/004> There is no PIT partition.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I have tried 4 different USB ports and 3 different cables. I can simply click restart in odin and try again when i get this error
The other half i get:
<ID:0/005> Added!!
<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..
<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/005> recovery.img
<ID:0/005> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/005> FAIL! (Auth)
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
in the upper left on my phone I get, in red; start [224, 1440], secure magicode check fail : recovery. This requires me to reboot the phone for another attempt. I have clicked the PIT button in odin and there are no files there.
I have found some similar threads for the first failure but they all seem to require re-partitioning and re-make (?) the PIT file which is apparently "extremely risky". As for the second failure, I found several threads with a similar failure but they were regarding going back to stock and seemed to be caused by a bad recovery image?? On the up side my phone will still boot into factory software just fine, but I would really like to figure out what I'm f-ing up.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for any help
If I were you, I would look for a custom recovery and flash this. I use Philz Touch Recovery, you can root it from it and it works perfect.
Links here: http://d-h.st/users/philz_touch/?fld_id=16644#files
flash it in Odin using AP.

thanks for help but that also doesnt work...same error again in odin..
Good evening all,
I have lurked around the forums for some time but never posted. I actually created an account to make this post. I am going to try to include as much information as possible. I realize that I am more than likely out of luck, but hoping the incredible people here may have an option to try.
While on vacation, my phone got gathered up with bed sheets and ran through a wash cycle. I am pretty certain the battery was dead so I don't think the phone was on but nevertheless it didn't help it to get "cleaned."
I immediately put the phone in some rice and left it for about 3 days before trying anything. I turned the device on, it booted up as normal but it was as if the touch screen wasn't working as it wasn't recognizing at all when I touched something. However, the Home and option buttons on each side worked. I decided to put it back in the rice and left it alone for about 4 more days.
Now the phone is stuck in what seems a boot loop. If I plug the device up to the charger, the battery icon stayed grey. It would constantly boot up to the "Samsung Galaxy" logo for around 15-20 seconds then turn off again.
The device does go into "Download" mode and I used Odin to flash the stock ROM back on the device. It was rooted prior to being washed but I have had to flash the stock ROM back in the past so I know the ROM file I have is what is needed for the phone. The output from Odin shows:

After trying this is still didn't help at all. If I try booting the device into Recovery I get the blue "recovery options" at the top but then the phone powers off and repeats the same actions as before (vibrates, Samsung Galaxy logo, turns off). It should be noted that if I have the device plugged into the PC it stays on the "Samsung Galaxy" logo indefinitely but if it is not plugged in it cuts off within a couple seconds.
I even tried connecting it with Kies open but it just said "Connecting" while in Download Mode and wouldn't recognize the device if on the Samsung Galaxy logo.
As I said before, I know I am probably screwed but was hoping someone may have experience with this and may have some options. From what I was reading online, if you can get the phone into "Download Mode" then it can be fixed but that hasn't been the case for me.
Thanks in advance for any help or any replies. It is greatly appreciated.
Hi all,
I have a S7 Edge - SM-G935F (UK) - that I think had/has a software/firmware issue. It would boot and be ok if left idle but after about 5 minutes of use it would crash and reboot.
I connected to Smart Switch and it tried to update the software to the latest version but due to the device crashing after a few minutes, this failed. Then I was left with the blue error screen advising a software update has failed and to use the Firmware Recovery mode on Smart Switch. So I tried this and this fails at either 5% or 16% referencing an issue with the device.
Then I tried flashing the stock firmware in ODIN and this fails almost instantly with the following log entries:
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Odin engine v(ID:3.1203)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..

Can anyone help or is it done for??
Thank you

Have you taken a look here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/how-to/guide-onelatest-stock-fw-csc-root-t3702963 ? It might be of use. If that fails, report back in. Now I think of it, report back anyway.
On top of the problem you got, i got the problem that when i open "smart switch", or Kies, none detects the phone, supposedly i should be able to recover it with the emergency thingy..
Anyway i can get to download mode, but it also fails and im using XEU-G935FXXU2ERGE

Hey, I've only just logged back in to check this forum - the link you shared no longer works, would you happen to know of another link that may help? I still have the problem - left this device as a dead in the water project!
Thanks a lot
Hi everyone,
Ill try to keep it short and clear.
My galaxy S8 stopped booting after I turned it off.
Couldn't boot it anymore
Managed to get it into download modus
Tried to install TWRP to install a rom to solve it.
The TWRP installation failed..
Result:
Unplugged no charger:
The phone does nothing..
Tried:
Volume up + bixby + power
Volume down + bixby + power
Volume up + power
Volume down + power
Plugged in charger
The emergency blue screen pops up for 1/2 seconds then screen goas black.
Download mudus works for 1/2 seconds then screen also goas black.
The emergency screen often pops up by it self and then it goas black
Tried:
Buying a new charging cable
Tried to install the stock rom using odin v3.12
Even tho the screen goas black after going to download/odin, odin says it is connected.
Then odin gives this result:

Fault "<ID:0/003> boot.img.lz4" its caused by odin 3.12.
to solve it you have to use odin 3.13
Also make sure you have latest software especially bootloader.
good luck.

Hi thank you for your reply!
I've updated my odin to 3.13.1 now.
Altho I cant seem to get the phone in download mode anymore
The error I'm getting now is:
Bootloader exception.
I dont think I'm able to flash it still this way
If anyone have a solution for this I do appreciate it
Bootloader exception, try holding Power + Volume down + Bixty button for a long time 15-30 seconds until you get a light blue download screen.

Thanks for helping Benjamen, I've tried this and the screen went black.
I've seen alot of people have this on galaxy s7 or older devices.
Their solution is to hold home button and then after that powe+ volume down + bixby
this will get them in download modus.
But galaxy s8 doesnt have a home button.
I've tried to flash the pit file using odin this made my phone reboot and it said "Panic kernel download mode"
