Hi,
I accidently got into the Odin Mode yesterday where it says Downloading, do not turn off target. After some time and nothing happening I pulled the battery. Since then my phone won't start.
I get the Rom loading animation for a while and then it just turns black/shuts off.
I do manage to get into recovery. where I did a factory reset and also restored a back. However, it still won't start.
Anyone got an idea what to do?
Download a stock ROM from sammobile, if you haven't already done so. If you don't already have a copy, download Odin and Samsung's Android drivers. Enter download mode on the phone and flash the ROM with Odin.
Assuming you don't have a hardware issue, flashing the ROM should restore your S4 to operating condition.
I was trying to recover my phone's lost photo data with a program when the phone sudddenly bricked
I tried different ways to turn it on but it goes like this every time
I can't get into download mode or anything
recovery booting...
recovery is not set seandroid enforcing
set warrananty bit : recover
then it just turns off my phone and powers off but it can still read my usb device but doesn't do anything
How do i fix this without going to factory settings?
charge battery first .
I read this as you have wiped part of the os .
Solution flash new stock firmware via Odin .
One problem with my note 3 N9005 that when i flash it with 5.0 lollipop or whether i flash a custom ROM like magmanx 6.0.1 my phone starts hangs every 3rd day and soon restarts and never comes back untill i reflash it using laptop
starter

I did flashed it using odin firmware from sammobile bt still goes into boot loops every third day. APP UPDATE for samsung? Like galaxy apps?
I wanted to update my modem so I flashed the newest Firmware with the July Security update - Firmware: G955FXXU1AQG5_G955FOXM1AQG5 which I downloaded from Sammobile.
Everything flashed fine. I then went to flash TWRP and it failed. I could not get it to flash no matter what I tried. I got a Fail error each time.
I thought I would try flashing the previouls firmware - and each time I tried to flash that I also got a fail error - and for grins and giggles I even tried to re-flash the new firmware again, just to see if it would work - and it failed each time again.
I am kind of freaked out. I cannot get anything to flash via ODIN and not sure what to try. OEM is unlocked - I have flashed firmware hundreds of times and never had this problem before - really kind of lost on what to try - Open to any suggestions? (I have already tried several different cables)
Suggestions?

I tried what you said and it didn't work. I found that right now, I can flash in odin - but in order for anything to flash and not fail, I have to get into download mode from the phone after it is turned off. But now I can't turn off the phone.
Before I saw your post, I discovered that if turned my phone off completely, and then went into download mode I was able to flash in odin successfully. So TUrned off the phone., booted into download I reflashed the new firmware booted up fully and turned off my phone and booted to download and flashed TWRP. The flash worked. But I was not able to boot into recovery.
I am stuck on the samsung logo screen.
BUT , now I can't turn off my phone. If I could turn it off, I know I could get into download mode and I could flash the bootloader -But right now, anything I attempt to flash in ODIN Fails - I have to find a way to turn off the phone so I can get into download mode from the phone when it is turned off.
Is there any way I can force the phone to turn off? I can get into download mode - but I can't turn off the phone.

Hi
Are you able to restart your device. If yes when it boot and vibrate press 3 button to go download mode.
Downgrade your bootloader or full firmware.
Best of luck

it doesnt work. Every time I try to flash ANYTHING in ODIN it fails. The ONLY way I will be able to flash the firmware is if I can get the phone to power down first - turn off completely - so I can boot into download mode after the phone has been turned off.
It is the only way I can get an ODIN Flash to work - otherwise, ODIN FAILS every time. If I could pull the battery that would do it - but I can't do that - and no 3 finger reboot combination works. I can get into download mode fine - but when I flash anything it fails.
THis happened yesterday and at the time, I was able to turn off my phone - but now, I can't get to to turn off - all I see is the samsung logo - but like I said, If I could power it down compleeley and then boot into download mode, I am confident it would work. Unless I can get this phone to power down, I beleive it is really bricked. Yikes!

No its not really bricked, even if you are seeing samsung logo, press bixby button + volume down + power button, it will reboot to ask you to enter into download mode or cancel to reboot, press volume up to enter download mode, I have done the same few moments and it works

Do what I said flash aqf7 BL and as soon as you hit start to flash it hold down the 3 button combo and it will take you straight back to download mode. When it does this hit start straight away again

I appreciate your comments but you didn't read what I posted.
I have not been able to flash anything in ODIN - I can get into download mode, but every flash failed. I have used every ODIN version and changed USB CORDS>
But I have good news. I kept messing with tings and I was able to finally get my phone to power off. DOn't ask me how because I can't repeat it - but anyway - I did get the phone to turn off - then I went into download and flashed the June Firmware (with June Security Patch)
Flash worked fine - I have since installed TWRP and am now flashing BATMAN ROM - wow - what an adventure..
I learned a lesson thought - seems like the July Firmware has something that doesn't like TWRP at all - I could not flash twrp while on that firmware - so I am back on the June firmware and will do my best not to let that happen again.
Thanks for your help - to all who tried. Thanks
Use smart switch to recover. Since you are locked in download mode, smart switch from samsung works. I did it yesterday, since odin failed whatever i tried to flash. And after you recover from smart switch, use odin again to flash newest firmware. But dont flash TWRP until is it updated.

I did try Smartswitch (before I found another fix) when when I attempted Smartswitch, when I connected my phone to my PC when it was in download mode, Smartswitch gave me an error that said it did not recognize the device I had connected.
I actually don't know how I did it - but I was able to eventually get the phonen to power down. When it had powered down completley - I booted in Download mode and this time I was able to flash the Older Firmware which ultimately fixed my problem. Thanks anyway for the tiip

Glad to hear it - I had problems too - the only way I could get a successful flash in ODIN was to first turn off my phone completely - then boot up into Download mode and then flash in ODIN. the only problem was when the phone is in a bootloop or frozen on the Samsung Boot Screen - it is impossoible to turn of fthe phone. I got lucky. It finally powered off on it's own. Then I was able to flash in odin.
Glad you got it fixed too.

I cannot turn it off too.
There's a trick...
All the time you enter in Download mode, and hit Start in Odin, the Odin says "FAIL" and the phone automatic reboot.
The trick is..
When in "Download mode" Start and at the same time press and hold "Vol Down + Bixby + Power".
Odin says FAIL and it will restart the phone automatic.
Press faster and hold "Vol Down + Bixby + Power" to go again to "Download mode".
Press Start in Odin and be prepared to press and hold at the same time "Vol UP + Bixby + Power".
Odin will start to transfer the files... and after that the phone reboot again faster, just press and hold one more time and faster "Vol UP + Bixby + Power".
TWRP will start !

Recently just got the s8 and tried to flash and root to get the batman rom. My attempt was a huge failure. I failed the instructions and even had a friend you had already done this process check if I did anything wrong. Once in Odin and flashed with Twrp my s8 did not boot up to the os homepage nor was it in recovery mode. It was a black screen saying something along the lines of "verification reject" and the only option I got was to reset the phone. Reset the phone and tried to flash it again, same thing happened.
At this point I just wanted to use my s8 stock everything so I tried to go back into recovery mode but now I'm stuck in a boot up loop and I can only go into download mode. I tried flashing it with all stock everything except now one in Odin the process fails. Odin is still able to pick up my phone but once you hit start it will say "fail"
I can't turn off the device I just pretty much left it to die so it's kind of "turned off" but I've tried virtually everything I could think of. Not sure if there is anything else I could do or if this s8 is just literally a brick now. Any help would be gladly appreciated!

Did you follow the steps exactly as it says here?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...pment/recovery-twrp-galaxy-s8-exynos-t3595102
eg: when you press start in Odin to flash TWRP hold recovery button combo?
I would suggest starting again, go to download mode and start and read the instructions a few times step by step.
Or flash stock firmware and then start again. If you get an error in Odin post it here for help.
Hello

What was the link that you used to get the firmware? I know sammobile the free download servers are down for maintenance
I downloaded the BL from BatMan Rom so there is no need to load the full Firmware

I'm able to get into TWRP with the method you just showed me so thank you!!
I keep running into problems every time I move a step forward. Now when I move the batman rom file to the storage it says "failed" or file "corrupted" am I still doing something wrong?
even with TWRP, Magisk and no-verity installed my phone still can not boot up into the phone's OS I'm still stuck with a boot loop.
I've tried to wipe everything already and start over and still I'm in the loop

Sry for late answer :/
Have you tried to dl BatManRom again?
Maybe your dl wasn't successful
Try again, should work
I also installed BatManRom ?
Best Rom out there
Install BL and CP from BatManRom via Odin, then boot in TWRP
Advanced wipe all except external and then flash Rom
Choose your Settings, no need to install BL and CP again
after install, Reboot, wait for around 10 mins, then Setup System and all should work fine ?
Cheers

You need the edl firehose and XML files and the software for recovering from a brick like that.
And frp bypass is not an allowed subject here because people who ask tend to have a device that is likely stolen

Hey there.
You're giving us very little to go by here. Are there any error messages? Does the phone boot normally, meaning that you're only unable to flash? Have you flashed a custom recovery? Are you using Kies or Odin to flash official firmware?

I had bigger problem,the phone did not boot.Logo Samsung showed up,and than just black screen. after rebooting same .I vent to servis place and they reinstall stock rom 5.0.1.And he said that was difficult.Now phone work,but not so well,reboot and reboot. cuple times per day.I dont now what to do with that,worry do something with that.
sometimes ,when I turn phone on,it go to dowload mode and there is the sign phone cannot boot properly,something like that.
