My Galaxy A3 is not booting anymore. It shows the A3 logo and then first the screen becomes yellow and then pink. Im not able to get into recovery mode or odin mode. Does anyone know what to do?
Thanks for help.

Did you try to flash the test version of that custom TWRP recovery by any chance?

No i didnt, because i cant get into odin mode. Is there a way to flash without odin?

Give us some details, what did you tried to do....
The more details you give, the more chances you have to fix it.

I only tried to get into odin mode or recovery mode by pressing home button, Power button and volume up/down. But i always get the same screen like when i boot normal, like in the video.

Problem with my S4 GT-i9500 (Stuck in boot mode, bricked)

Hello.
I own a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9500. I tried to downgrade from Lollipop to KitKat using Odin but I messed up in the process of doing so. Now my phone won’t turn on at all unless plugged into the PC via USB cable. When I plug it in, my PC doesn’t recognize it and an error message with a caution sign flashes on the screen. When I try to go into boot mode (holding the Power button + volume down + home) the menu shows up, but when I try to enter the boot mode it doesn’t respond. The only way I can get into the boot mode is when I remove the battery and immediately press the down volume.
Does anyone know what I can do here? Thank you.

Hi,
Do you mean Download Mode?
Could you try to enter Download Mode with battery removed and flash again your firmware with ODIN? Let me know.

Yeah sorry, I meant download mode.
I've tried that method before but to no avail. My phone is currently at the repair shop, hopefully the pros can find a solution to it.
Thanks for the reply

Note N900w8 Stuck

Hi, so the problems I am experiencing are that I tried to install Resurrection Remix ROM for my phone. I do not know where my idiot brain messed up along the way, but I installed ROM Manager on my phone, and then pressed backup current ROM, which immediately set the phone to be booting in Recovery Mode, but unfortunately wont be detected my phone. The error code is the following:
RECOVERY BOOTING:
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDRIOD ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit : recovery
I tried pushing the VOLUME DOWN + POWER and the HOME buttons together to open Odin mode, but this is just stuck, as nothing happens in that mode. After several hours of trying to figure this out by myself, a frustrated me decided to come here to see if the community could help me out. Does anyone have any ideas? I really cannot afford a new phone right now :crying:
Flash twrp in odin mode.

Do you have access to a USB jig to try and force download mode?
Before pressing vol down, home, and power, is the phone powered off?What do you mean nothing happens? The phone won't power on?
Fixed, thank you for your help

What I did to solve the issue was flash a stock Andriod 4.4.2 tar file from Odin. The computer would not recognize the device sometimes, however, I did manage to get it through. After that I managed to get everything figured out and get Reserruction Remix ROM on my phone. Thank you for your guys help!

Can't access recovery mode N910F

Alright guys, back in Feb I soft bricked my note 4 and resolved the issue (link)
Now I'm wanting to sell my phone as I've upgraded by putting the stock firmware on it. When I try and put the stock firmware on with Odin it always fails and then won't boot into the OS, I can then use all samsung recovery to get it to boot back up into the OS but it's as if nothing has changed.
I cannot access recovery mode by holding vol up, home and power, it quickly has some writing at the top and then goes straight into download mode without asking for the up vol to confirm, and has this text at the top:
Could not do normal boot.
ODIN MODE (HIGH SPEED)
I can access download mode normally with vol down, home and power and doesn't say the "Could not do normal boot", and if I just turn it on like normal it will boot into the OS that is NOT root.
Any help on how to get the recovery mode back? Or how to get the phone back to completely stock.
Many thanks!

HELP! S8 won't boot after updating TWRP

I updated TWRP to 3.1.1.2 inside TWRP. The issue I encounter now is that my S8 stucks on the very first booting screen. You know the very first screen where it stated "Samsung Galaxy S8" and down below "powered by android".
I can't do anything. It's just like the phone has frozen at that state. Nothing works anymore. Even If I try to turn it off by pressing Volume down + Bixby + power button, it just restart and get stucks at the boot screen again and again. There's NO boot loop.
I'm on europe version of the Galaxy S8
stock rom and rooted (Magisk)
Got TWRP installed but after updating TWRP the phone freeze at the very first booting screen.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks for your efforts!
First of all - make sure you have the correct TWRP for your device. I know for myself that by searching google I got the S8+ twrp at first and flashed it by mistake without noticing.
Then try this-
Connect your device to a power socket (pc or wall, doesn't matter)
When you are on the very first screen, turn off the device by pressing Power + Volume down. Your device will shut down and you will see the charging animation.
Once you see it, disconnect the device from the USB and try one of the following:
Power + Volume up + Bixby for recovery mode
or
Power +Volume down + Bixby for download mode
I think the download mode will work, then just flash a stock rom or the correct recovery and try again
I failed right at the second step. Once I connect my S8 to power socket and tried to turn of the device by pressing Volume down + Power, the device turnt off for about 2 seconds and then reboot again to the very first screen. Even if my S8 is on power socket, I do not see the charging animation. So that is why I cannot continue with step 3.
Any Ideas buddy?
EDIT:
I got it enter the download mode
I downloaded the TWRP img from here https://eu.dl.twrp.me/dreamlte/
After enter the download mode, I flash TWRP via odin. It passed via Odin but my S8 doesn't enter TWRP but instead stuck at the very first boot screen.
Any ideas, buddy?
EDIT:
I've solved it myself. Thanks for your efforts!
I got the exact same problem but how did u do it please help me
Hi I just got the exact same problem as you but I cannot get how I would fix it please help???
Edit: I got it to download mode but I do nut understand how I would flash it
The only way around this I found was to Odin back to stock https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/development/rom-galaxy-s8-t3749444
Then follow the instructions to reinstall twrp using odin https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-s8-exynos-t3847712/post77735501#post77735501

A3 2016 bricked

Hello,
I bricked my A3 2016 a3exelte while updating TWRP to 3.7.0_9-0.
The phone boots but gets stuck on the very first screen (the one with "Samsung Galaxy A36 powered by android").
I can boot into Download mode but the volume up and down keys don't respond (it's been like that for a while, even before the phone was bricked), so I can't get into Download mode.
Any suggestions to get it back to life?
Hi, not sure i understand, you can boot into download mode, but you cant use up and down keys?
To get into download mode you have to use the down key atleast?
Because i had the exact same problem as you, twrp 3.7.0_9-0 also bricked my phone.
but i used XDA version of odin and another TWRP version to get into twrp to start over.

That's exactly what's happening. Is there a combination of keys that could "unlock" the up and down keys? Or something else?
But if you are in download mode, cant you use odin to flash twrp 3.6 ?
Also if its because it ask you to press up to enter download mode, just press button below screen to get into download mode
Below is the screen where I'm stuck. Up, down, home keys are ineffective.
I'm note really familiar with Odin, but if I connect my phone in the state below and I open Odin, nothing is shown. But I guess it's normal as I'm not really in download mode.
Well like i wrote, if you press any button other than down it will go into download mode, even power button.
