Smart Switch Emergency Flash Failed, what do? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

It failed at 13% during update.
On the Galaxy S7 screen the progress bar is frozen. Scared to turn off/restart. What do?

well, you have no other choise. turn it off see if you can boot up. if not, put it in download mode (power+vol down) and use odin with all 4 sw files for your country (don`t use CSC_HOME) and then flash it NOT using an USB3 interface and also restart your computer.
you will loose everything but I don`t see anything else you can do to get it working again.

[ISSUE] Black screen after stop & start

Hello,
After many search on internet I guess I am faced to a strange issue.
I just stop/start my phone like normal and I got always a black screen although my phone seems to boot correctly and start until the main menu BUT:
No more Galaxy S screen logo and no way to get recover or download mode.
Any idea how to debug this ?
Not I had upgraded to Froyo 2.2.1 2 months ago and never have this problem.
BR
Have you tried factory reset after backing up data .
jje
I am open to any ideas.
How can I factory reset my SGS without display. I am blind, my mobile don't have any display, stay black screen, so I have to go until factory reset menu being blind.
Are you on stock rom and is it possible to startup the rom ? If this is possible then you can reinstall your rom and don't forget to flash the correct boatloader (with working 3 button combo) in it.
I think if you keep power button held down it factory resets .
Download mode = recovery jig from front page .
But i would be taking phone to service centre .

Thanks but I can not flash it, I dont succeed to get either recovery or download mode and Odin does not detect my phone either Kies.
I can not naviguate until USB debugging mode to enable ADB and work.
My mobile start but I am blind, I am looking for a solution that may enable adb or bring me download or recover mode ?
Yesterday the screen display during 1 2 second when I press I dont remember Vol Up + power... Never succeed to make it again.
Are you sure that the phone isn't actually in download mode and that u just couldn't see it? Try pulling out the battery and going.into download mode and see if Odin sees it. If ya running stock not rooted I would take the phone back.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Unfornately I am sure it is not in download mode because:
1) Start the phone
2) Vibrate 1 time then 2 times
3) A ring is played then showing the phone receive mail or SMS (GPRS is on)
When I touch the screen I can unlock it and click, sound is played so phone always start normally.
Problem:
- No SGS logo at boot, black screen always
- No way to boot in recovery or download mode
- No way to configure either Kies connection when USB is plugged (with Kies I thought I can upgrade the SGS to Gingerbread firmware) or enable USB debugging in order to connect using ADB.
I have ordered a JIG cable, maybe I will succeed to get the download mode ?
Thanks for your help.
I succeed to get the screen temporarly and flash using new firmware 2.2.1 but problem appeared, I flash with 2.3.3 and the same so I guess my phone is broken.

[Q] process.com.android.systemui has stopped

i recently tried to edit my build.prop file on my LG G2 (LS980). i changed
Code:
ro.build.product=G2
to
Code:
ro.build.product=g2
(using root explorer, and mounted r/w) because i read that they should be lower case, and since my phone wouldn't update i decided to see if it would work. rebooted and got the error. the error is so bad that i cant even use my phone. the front touch buttons are missing and i cant tap anything except for the power off/reeboot/enter airplane mode. Also, 9 times out of 10 when i power off, the sprint spark logo appears then screen goes black, then reappears and turns the phone back on. furthermore, when i plug it in to my pc i cannot change it from MTP mode, and im not sure if i still have usb debugging checked. the lg mobile support tool wont recognize that a device is connected even with the latest drivers. ALSO, i cannot enter stock recovery! last night when i first got the error i entered it once, but i decided to look for other options as to how to fix the error rather than wiping. but now I WISH i wiped my phone then, because no matter what i do now, the phone wont go into recovery mode. i don't have TWRP or CWM, and i am rooted. I'm a noob and i don't know what to do at this point, can anyone help me?
i have tred looking for some sort of software that can let me access the phones settings directly through usb, but no luck. i dont even know if such a thing exists.
can you battle your way to settings/apps? hit options, reset defaults
otherwise you may have to boot into download mode and flash complete tot/kdz

Can anyone help here, Galaxy Note 4 Bricked

Device- Galaxy Note 4 International (SM-N910C)
The case here is:
- The Phone doesn't boot, or show anything as the splash screen
- when you try to charge the phone (while powered off) the device doesnt show anything at all, but the phone charges as the
battery heats up a bit
- when you press the power button (and nothing else ) and leave the phone alone for about 8-10 mins, it shows the download
mode screen WITHOUT the details on the top left corner.
- removing the battery and putting it back didn't work, and when you press the download mode button combination (volume
down+power+ home), it directly starts download mode but this time WITH the details on the top left corner, the warning doesnt come.....
- When in download mode, the device IS detected by odin
- but then when i try to flash the rom thorugh odin, again the same
problem (no boot)
So far, Download mode is the only thing i've seen on the phone, and nothing else
my Guesses: the files which store the splash screens, etc are corrupted,and are not even touched during rom flashing, because when i flashed a rom through odin, the process DID finish but the problem persisted.
Suspects: param.bin file
even though these can be the root of the problem, there is no way i can actually restore the original file because adb doesnt detect the device in the pc, only odin does. Yes, i've perfectly installed all the adb/fastboot drivers.
Thanks in advance to anyone that helps fix the problem......:crying:

Can anyone try and give me a ODIN flashable file that replaces the param file in the phone???

Bricked S8s after software update.

Hi. Browsed for ages and always come here for answers.
Here's my problem.
2x S8s. SM-950f.
Updated to most recent software through software update. Both phones were glitchy and crashing and just generally irritating after.
Factory data reset etc. This did not resolve the problems, also led to one of them having issues with FRP (annoying)
Used Odin to try and flash the latest firmware (from sammobile, UK BTU) after flashing both, they reset and powered on. Got stuck at the S8 screen.
Restarted then both were at the "an error occurred during update" screen.
Managed to get back to download screen. Re checked the software and model numbers, even that the bootloader was the correct version etc. All was fine.
Connected to Odin, shows that it is connected, but nothing happens when clicking start.
Now after attempting that, both phones will not power on.
(One will when placed on the wireless charger, but just sticks at S8 screen) and download mode or reset screen can not be accessed. So, not exactly happy. And totally out of ideas
Any suggestions, beyond taking it to a shop to see if anyone can help.
yes .....dont tuch the phones for 24 hours let the battery die ...it will...connect to pc and then try download mode....u may need to press combination for like 1 minute to get to download mode....flash twrp reboot directly into it when odin says successfully .....wipe system data ....dont turn on phone download any custom rom flash and enjoy.....it will trip knox but worth than getting a new board....
Okay, will give that a try.
TWRP?
TWRP install
https://dl.twrp.me/dreamlte/twrp-3.2.3-0-dreamlte.img.tar.html: Download link for twrp SM-G950F (dreamlte)
Just said, wait until your device powers off due battery insufficience. Plug cable and hold at the same moment vol(down)+bixby+power. Then press vol(up) at the warning screen to proceed to odin mode. Let it charging a while like 1 h. Then unplug it and plug it to your pc. In Odin select ap the previous downloaded file. Take your mobile in your hand. With one hand, prepare your fingers to vol(up)+bixby and with the other hand start the flashibg process. Be careful, and take your hand directly from the mouse if you clicked start in odin, and position your one finger to power button, but dont click. If odin start pass, press immidiately the buttons (vol(up)+bixby+power) and let it to start into recovery. If you arrived to recovery, reply to us if not search for help!!!
Good luck
memreb
Still trying to get them on. Powered on to download mode but only for a couple of seconds and switched off again.

i have the same issue with my s8 but when i boot in download mode the screen goes black but if i press volupe up it connect to odin with black screen you shoud give it a try
Will try that
Okay, downloaded TWRP, can get phone calls nected to Odin but when I extract TWRP it doesn't give a valid file type.
Am I being dumb.
No files appear that Odin will recognise.
Also just shows as "recovery" no .tar or anything
Ignore above. Corrupted download.
Sorted.
Now when flashing TWRP is gets to a fail due to
"Complete (write) fail

Not sure what stage your at and maybe some more useless ideas
1. Trying to flash twrp is kinda of useless if you can't get into your system need oem unlock for that.
2. Have you tried taking out Sim card and SD card and reboot.
3. If you can at least boot try smart switch as it has a emergency recovery option.
4. Trying rebooting in safe mode.
All been attempted

Odin flash failed, stuck in Emergency Recovery screen, cannot turn off.

I was going along ok until I made the fatal error of transferring the Magisk patched file to PC via MTP instead of taking the time to re-learn adb, which must have corrupted it. Thus predictably Odin hung and I am in trouble.
Where I am stuck is being unable to turn the phone off to come back in download mode to start over with stock firmware. I have been unable to find any secret button presses, and the battery doesn't seem to want to die leaving me with an $800 paperweight.
I did search around for this first and didn't find any real answers. Has anyone found an effective solution to this problem? Thanks.

If Odin recognizes you device, you can flash firmware in emergency recovery.

Thank you, but the PC won't recognize the device. What does happen is the emergency recorevy screen tries to come up. I tried starting in download mode with bixby+vol down then USB. I did get the battery low enough where I don't get the teal screen of death anymore, perhaps it is too low for USB to work? What I was hoping for was the charging animation but no luck. Surely this is just a software problem and there is a way out.

Did you try getting into recovery and perform a data factory reset and then see what happens?
Just load the stock firmware BL, Ap, cp and home csc into Odin if you see emergency teal screen. The emergency screen will start loading
Black screen ....Perhaps your battery is dead?
Thank you all for the replies. I had let the battery get low in a misguided attempt (based on advice elsewhere) to get it to shut off. I had to let it charge a while for it to wake up enough for PC to see it. Then I was able to flash in Emergency Recovery mode.
Thank you for the help.

Glad you got your device up and running ?
Maybe someone can help me. I seemed to have borked my phone. I kept getting "Google is Stopping" with no way to fix it, so I tried reflashing my firmware in odin. After I loaded all the files and hit start, I realized I didn't untick auto reboot, so I tried aborting the installation and ended up with screen (I've had it before and got out of it by still flashing in Odin, but now, if I try to reflash firmware while in this screen, it's stuck on SYSTEM in odin.
Any help appreciated!
Try this
That is where I got stuck. Are you trying to flash stock or patched firmware? I had to start over with stock as I copied the patched via MTP instead of adb and it got corrupted.
I think what I did was unplug and reset Odin. Wait for screen to turn off, then make sure it is at least 80% charged. Then Bixby + Vol Down + plug in and you will go back to this screen. Then I was able to flash stock. I had to go so far as to re-lock bootloader and flash stock again since my "OEM Unlocking" was not just greyed out but missing. Since then I've had no time to try again, but at least I have a working phone.
This is my anecdotal procedure, can't say if it is the right or best one.
Hi All,
I was trying to flash the latest firmware for my device (G9750ZCU2ASG4) and during the odin process, my computer restarted which failed the update halfway through. I rebooted the computer, tried again, and it was trying to establish a connection for a really long time, so I disconnected my phone from the USB port on my computer, and held Power and Volume Down to try and force reboot the phone. I was going to try and go back into download mode to restart the process. My phone mentioned something about needing to do an emergency recovery, but I continued to hold down the power and volume down keys and then everything went black on the phone.
I've tried multiple USB cords, all of the button commands known for the device, and have even tried to perform the emergency mode recovery on my device, but it seems like it's in some sort of locked state; What I mean is the phone is stuck on a black screen. I can't "boot" into recovery or into download mode. The phone doesn't even vibrate when I hold the power button or power and down to try and force reboot it. Odin doesn't recognize the phone when I plug it into the computer nor does the device manager on my windows computer.
Does anyone have any experience with this sort of issue or any idea of what else I can do to try and get into download mode to flash my firmware again? All help, suggestions, or comments regarding this are much appreciated.
Sounds like the battery is dead
Hi Dude, I am struggling with the same problem, read this post and it came to me, had to come back and give you the solution.
Press bixby+volume down, IMMEDIATELY after the screen goes off, hold volume up and down while connecting the USB cable super fast.
You have got like 10ms to do it
Otherwise it just goes back to the AVB FAIL screen
Ran into this issue, none of the above worked for me.
This is how I resolved:
1) Placed phone on wireless charging mat and let it boot to emergency recovery screen
2) Load TWRP into AP slot of Odin and leave the window open on your computer ready to flash
3) Connect phone to computer whilst it's on the mat and press start in Odin as soon as your device appears
It may fail a few times but if your quick you can install TWRP.
4) Now boot into recovery and let your phone charge to a reasonable level (above 20%)
5) Boot into Download mode and flash your desired rim via Odin
