I just got a new Samsung Vibrant last week, and the person at the store offered to root it so we could use the wifi hotspot feature. The problem is the rooted phone wouldn't update from Android 2.1 to 2.2 through Kies Mini, so I tried updating the OS through Odin following instructions I found online.
I didn't follow them exactly it seems because I neglected to enable USB Debugging on the phone. The phone is now stuck in the Android system recovery 3e screen. Only the volume buttons (up/down) work, I can't actually select any of the options on the recovery screen. The error message at the bottom reads "E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (Invalid argument)", etc.
From research I've done in the last few days it seems like to fix this I need to use Odin to 'reflash the phone back to stock' or something. Here is my problem:
1) I cannot get into Download Mode with physical buttons through any means. I've tried every suggest combination of buttons that I've seen and none have worked. At most I've managed to get into a new screen that says "Power reset or unknown mode" or something like that.
2) I cannot get into Download Mode through ADB because USB Debugging was never enabled in the first place, and cannot be enabled now that the phone is bricked
From what I've read it seems it's still technically possible to revive the phone... I just don't know how to do it.

try this:
Take out battery and put it back in (to make sure phone is off)
Insert USB to PC but remove Usb from phone and open Odin
While holding both volume bittons...insert USB into phone
Phone should go into download mode
If that doesn't work then you might need a jig

Stuck in recovery mode
hi i just installed frooyo 2.2 on my vibrant through Odin am stuck on recovery mode 3e...my phone can't reboot neither can it go on download mode.
Its giving me an error saying, E:can't mount/dev/blockmmcbblk0p1(Invalid argument) ...another message is:your storage not prepared yet.please use UI menu for format n reboot actions.Please help.........
Here is what i used with odin:

I had one that was stuck in an infinite boot loop and wouldn't respond to physical keys. Build a JIG. It works. I have one and it's the best $6 I've ever spent. Took me 2 minutes to make on a breadboard.

Thank me if this helps.
Or you could ship me your phone
But I recommend building one.

Try turning the power off on your phone, plug the usb cable in and you will see the battery icon pop up. After that use all three buttons ( power and vol. up and down) until you see the screen go off like its going to reset. As soon as you see this, release the power button but leave the vol buttons held and it should go into download mode. This way has worked for me every time when all the other methods have not. If this still doesn't work, you might invest in a jig like others have suggested. I had the same error message a while back because like an idiot I tried to flash just a kernel and forgot to uncheck the repartition. Make sure you have the right pit. and the right pda (this should include the modem,rfs,kernel) and leave the repartition checked. Sometimes its hard to get into download mode but keep trying. Hope this helps and it wouldn't hurt to try and redownload the pda because the one you have might be bad. Good luck
Stuck in recovery mode
hey,metroidnemesis13
that procedure still takes me to recovery mode<3e>.
Any idea what to do next?
im jamed like this to..my side button does not work to ok only power..
how to you get out of this?
Why did he root it for wifi hotspot? 2.2 has mobile AP function for free? very odd.
man, I have said it too many times, the people in the store are idiots. I have had two if them call me to fix soft bricked phones, and one of them call me for help fixing a broken screen.
Learning how to do things, and how to undo things is key.
You should be able to get into download mode, either using the insert battery while plugged in and holding volume buttons, or using a jig. The jigs are cheap and make fun keychains.
@Mr Jeff who flashed a I9k (jp2) ROM with Odin, you most likely changed your bootloader. You may need to hold one of your soft keys (I don't know which) The key combo is different for the i9k

Eugene's Froyo That Does Not Brick
Download this first, and flash through Odin with your standard 512 pit file
http://eb-productions.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=samsungsgs&action=display&thread=8
Then when it reboots to the recovery screen, pull your battery, reinsert it and boot up to dl mode, and flash the following, with your same pit file, and selecting repartition in Odin this second flash only:
http://eb-productions.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=samsungsgs&action=display&thread=3
The first link there is Eugene's Froyo That Does Not Brick, but it doesnt work that well as a driver. As an eraser its great though! The second link is the Froyo JK2 leak, with fixed recovery and already rooted. If the first one didnt, the second flash will definitely put you back on Froyo bootloaders.
Thats my whole secret to keeping a clean phone and wiping out any ghosts. You can proceed from there in your desired direction (back to ZD or GZ preferrably) in a safe manner. Its always worked for me to clear up any oddness, and literally takes 15 minutes tops once you have the files downloaded.

Follow these directions. These 2 files will give you the correct bootloader and rom files.... And go hit Brick'd's thanks button when it works.... If you can get to download mode these directions will fix your phone.....

Just play with the button combos.....
Take battery out.. Re-insert then try volume down while plugging in usb. Then same technique with battery try volume up.
I'm not sure the softkeys are even active when booting from bootloader but it's worth a try to hold home+either volume button+power.... or either volume button and home while plugging in the usb....
A jig is your best alternative at this point... If these don't work.
Possible Solution.....
Please Check this link it helped me from the same issue:

Stock 7.0 AT&T model, I went to sleep, forgot to plug in phone. It died in the middle of the night, and the phone refuses to boot past the s7 edge splash screen and restarts every 10-15 seconds. It also will not enter recovery mode and says "Recovery booting..." I can make it enter download mode but I have attempted almost everything I have found and I either get a binary issue or it will successfully flash but then nothing will happen and it will continue to be in this bootloop. I actually brought it to a samsung "representative" at Best buy today and she said it wasn't recognizing the phone at first then it did, and she flashed something that she didn't say what it was and then it still didn't work. She then told me to send it in to samsung but since my glass is cracked (2nd day I had it too...) they try to say that i'm at fault. I just want to know how to fix this, I haven't had my phone in 5 days, I don't care about my data cause it's all already backed up online! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried using samsung smart switch?
use samsung smart switch emergency software recovery initialization which is in the right up corner in "more". if its gonna be stuck and installing the software then connect your phone to a charger, hold volume down and power button and turn it off, this way the phone should stay turned off. then go to download mode and install s7 edge firmware from sammobile through odin

****, I forgot to mention, yes I have tried smart switch and every time I input the model number and S/N, it just closes out. Based on my research, that means initialisation isn't possible.

Recently, I have seen many phones with bootloop problems and, at the end, the sim card was the one to blame.
I know it's silly but have you tried booting it without the sim card and micro sd?

I just actually successfully flashed SM-G935U firmware but to no avail it is still in this bootloop. I am about to just replace the screen and send into samsung ffs
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 !
Hello,
I have a problem with my samsung galaxy s7 edge. When I try to put it on the samsung logo appears for a second or two and then I see a black screen again, there is also written 'Kernel is not seandroid enforcing' in red letters in the left corner of the screen. Nothing seems to help, I don't know a lot of these android things, but I have been looking on the internet and i have tried a lot of things. First of all I've tried a hard reset (press and hold the power, volume up and home buttons), when I do this, I get the same screen as I put it on, but now there is 'Recovery is not seandroid enforcing' in the left corner instead of 'Kelner'.
Then, when I press and hold the power, volume down and home buttons and I click continue, my phone comes in download mode. I've seen a video about about a factory reset out of download mode so I thought there was still hope. The only problem is that I cannot connect my phone with my PC neither. My PC can't recognize my phone. I've tried to use different USB cables, I've installed USB Drivers on my PC, but nothing seems to help. I've tried to use ODIN, Smart Switch and Samsung kies, but they can't find my S7 Edge. There is also an option where you can enter the buildnumber and SN thing (idk) of your phone and I've tried that to. The only thing that happens is my phone who begins to charge and a sound on my PC that says that he is connected to a device, but he can't see him.
I really don't know what I have to do now, does somebody has a solution to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance.

When did this issue start happening? Did you try to install something custom before this issue started?
If you can get into download mode, you can fix it. Try another PC with Odin. With the drivers installed and in download mode, Odin will pick it up. Once the phone is shown in Odin, flash stock.
I presume you have tried to root it or something, perhaps using a method for a different phone which explains why it won't boot. Or perhaps you have tried to flash TWRP?
.
Thanks, I'll try it with a different PC and yes I've rooted my phone to install xposed framework but this was like a year before this problem happend and I think I have unrooted my phone after.
Hi guys, a friend of mine asked me if i can fix her child's tablet (It is galaxy tab A 10.1'' with LTE T585.
Her problem was that she factory reset it, because her child set a pattern and forgot it. They also dont remember the password, hence FRP problem.
I tried to flash a new Official rom from Sammobile and tried to flash it via AP option, but it got stuck on about 95% at Meta-data/Fota.zip and the screen is flashing somewhat. Upon further reading i understood that i need newer Odin, hence i had to unplug the cable and start over. However, I am unable to access download menu anymore. When i press home power down and lock nothing happens, until i plug the cable in. Then Odin sees it (although the tab says Error occurred bla bla use Smart switch PC software, which does not support the tablet weirdly). But i cant flash anything like that it gets stuck at initializing.
I am open for any suggestions on how to fix this or i might have to end up buying a new tablet for her.
Thank you guys!
PS: Ive been long away from samsungs (since S5 disappointment so im not really into samsung specifics).

Irrespective of whatever state the tablet is in just hold in this order HOME + VOL DOWN + POWER. Hold until the screen goes blank then when you see the Samsung logo release after a few seconds.
Once in DOWNLOAD mode flash using at least odin 3.12
Tried that already but Odin was staying on initializing. Gave it to a phone mechanic and he fixed it now i need to find a way to know which Android version it has and how to bypass the frp.
