Okay, I got this phone recently and I rooted yesterday using kingoroot, I messed with a few things and restarted and BAM it's stuck on the metro PCS boot screen.
Now I've been following this guide: http: // appslova. com/tutorial-recover-soft-bricked-android/ (delete spaces) to try and fix it. I've downloaded the right ROM and custom recovery and everything(I'm pretty sure), but I'm stuck on the step recognizing the device, using "fastboot devices". I realized that my phone does not go to the bootloader menu but rather it's stuck on a screen that says ODIN MODE and info about my device, and in the middle it just says Downloading... Do not turn off target. I simply cannot figure out how to bypass this. I'm a noob when it comes to this type of thing, but I just want to fix my phone. Any advice would be strongly appreciated, thanks.
u already have the screen that says downloading.. just flash the official rom in the downloading screen with odin

Okay so I don't need to mess with fastboot? How would I go about that?
Okay I fixed it, I figured out how to do it. The only problem now is that the firmware I flashed was the wrong one, I used T-mobile instead of Metro pcs. Man I just want to use my phone again... Does anyone know where I can find the stock firmware for metro grand prime??

Hello all!
First of all i want to thank this site (and the people behind it) that makes everything android possible.
I feel privileged to be a member of this forum specially on rough times like what i am facing right now.
I rooted my Galaxy A8-A800i the other day and everything went great. I followed the instructions that i found here. Unfortunately, yesterday i turned off the OEM Unlock on my phone. Now, as the thread title says it. it is stuck on the Logo Screen with the annoying " Custom Binary blocked by FRP Lock ". i read a guide that ashyx made and i felt stupid. I didn't know that turning the OEM Unlock will do that to my Phone.
Right now, I am digging deep on this forums to try and revive my phone that is currently in Brick state.
i am downloading a firmware from sammobile for my phone, the problem i have is... i don't know how to use it. I don't know much about my phone but I do want to learn a lot and i know that this is the right place. I would like to ask assistance on how to use the firmware that I am downloading right now, and also, can i make the Knox Counter go "0" again?
Thanks for everything guys. I highly appreciate everything i've learned here so far.

Thank you!... i downloaded the stock firmware from sammobile. but whenever i extract it there's a rar message saying it is corrupted so i DLed a new one, it has the same result. I haven't tried using it to fix my phone but i will try right now. Ill give an update on how it goes.
Tried flashing the new firmware but Odin can't detect my phone. i have the latest Driver for SAMSUNG and i have the latest Odin. I tried restarting my phone and my computer several times but it still fails. i am really frustrated and our of options right now. Even if Odin detects my phone there's no guarantee that the stock firmware will be installed properly since it always shows corrupt when i extract it from zip

Install the Samsung drivers first, reboot your pc.
Start odin in Admin mode then put your device in download mode, plug in the usb cable. Your device should be detected.
Don't try flashing a corrupt firmware, it will be rejected anyway as it will fail the md5 check.
I suggest you use a different browser to download.
@ashyx hey! thanks for all your help. my internet went offline while i was trying to respond to the other thread. my phone is now fixed with your help. Thank you so much! only took 3 mins for the while Odin flashing to complete
This issue is now FIXED

Just use Odin to flash a stock rom.
Install stock via Odin and try again.
If at first you do not succeeded, try and try again.
Out of interest, When you installed the ROM, how long did you wait before restarting the device.
(How long did you leave it on the Samsung Startup logo)
I know Stock modded ROMS when first install can sometimes take upto 10 - 15 minutes to Boot for the first time.
(I remember waiting 20 minutes one time on my note 3)
Delete
Thank you
My phone come back to normal thank you very much guys
The way to fix this is pretty straight forward and there are many tutorials online on how to do this.
You will need your stock rom (can be acquired from SamMobile) and Odin (i recommend using 3.0.7) and then plugging your device in to your windows computer (does not work on any other os) and reflashing back to your stock rom. This will 100% work and you should just go to YouTube and search for "How to reflash stock Galaxy S7" after downloading your stock rom.

You must choose the firmware that is correct for your model for example if I had a Galaxy S7 and the model number for it is SM-G9358 i'd then choose the one that says its for the SM-G9358 as well as my carrier for example Optus if there is no correct carrier version then just choose one that is from your country it wont make a huge difference you'll be fine.
If you do not know how to find the model number for your phone it should be somewhere in Settings>About or when you are booting on your device.
Let me know if you need any further assistance.
Lets get this out of the way I am an Idiot.I had a rooted s7 edge working absolutely fine then i got cocky......i wanted software updates so i decided to unbrick it guess what it didnt work.Then it got worse i turned off OEM unlocking (Im a noob to this) and restarted the phone and it never turned on again i can get into download mode but i dont know if i can flash it with odin when oem is turned off (Im F####D) Smart switch doesnt recognise it (root) and flashing with ODIN fails halfway trough.OOh boy it gets worse....i decided to send it to my carrier for repairs (keep in mind i have 24 months of warrinty) and guess what they didnt fix it and decided to send me a note for repairs Total cost 350 dollars USD (Its an international version) right on my birthday which is today.......Any help is apriciated guys .................UPDATE i flashed stock firware with odin 3.11 and my G-935F is Working amazing
I think that if you can get in download mode its not hard bricked. Just try changing usb cable usb port. There lots of things that can affect bad flash in odin.

had the same issue.
If you can access the download mode go into it.
then download the stock fireware. I used this.
Flash it with odin and follow the guide.
After that your phone should boot normally and you will be greeted with the setup screen just like from a new device.
Hope this helped you.
What they've all said. I did this, easy fix. Just make sure you're flashing stock firmware, doesn't matter what CSC

Thanks a lot, I got the same issue with my G935P, and trying to work it out
Alright, so I have an S7 that I bought off of ebay, it was originally sprint, but I use it on Metropcs.
Today, I attempted to Odin root it and it got me stuck in a "Galaxy s7" boot loop. As a result, I looked for the stock, which also put my in a "Recovery booting" loop. Now I don't know what to do. Recovery mode does not work. The only thing I can do is go into download mode.
Some notes: I have/had nougat on it, don't. I wanted to use smart switch, but it needs a serial number, and when I tried to find mine using the IMEI from the download screen to find mine, it said it couldn't find the Serial, so I'm just going to assume it's a fake S7.
If anyone can help at all, or even have an S7 serial, please let me know. I've tried several of the main threads for sprint with the 2.2gb stock AP/CP/CSC, and none of them worked, they all result in boot loop.
Edit: My phone is an S7, NOT an edge. I put this in the wrong section, and I have to wait 20mins to make a new thread.

I'll try that if the current thing doesn't work. What I did just now is I got a file from samfirm which was SM-G930P_1_20161227210652_bpv0ccfhas_fac.zip. Instead of jusst doing the AP/CP/CSC, I also added in the BL, and it seems to be working, and reverted me back to 6?

The one I linked, seemed to work, but it's back on 6, but it's downloading updates, which is likely for 7 again. Thank you alot, I really appreciate it, since I was full of panic seeing as I'm going on vacation within a few days so wanted to have my phone. Leaving this here for anyone who may have the same issue!

Just hit thanks!
The phone of my girlfriend has been stuck in a bootloop for a few days. It happened while she watched a video. Apparently at the same time she got a message that her phone ran out of space. Then it crashed and has been stuck in the loop since then. Her phone is not rooted. She did restore the device to default settings using recovery mode. This didn't do anything however.
I've tried using ODIN 3.12.3 to flash the newest rom from sammobile since her carrier is T-Mobile. I followed a guide from adnroid central since I never had done anything like this before. It all worked as far as ODIN goes but is still stuck in the bootloop. I'd link the guide but I need 10 posts before I can include outside links.
I'm not sure what the next step would be. If I should try an older ODIN version or use a different stock rom. Before the whole incident her android version was 6.0.1 I believe. Also in the download mode the product name is SMG-900T.
I hope someone can point me in the right direction on what to do. Thank you!

I'm not sure what you mean since I'm quite new to anything android. Would this be what you are talking about? I know it says only for S5 G900F and I have the G900T but would the overall process be the same?

Google search for marshmallow bootloader and flash it through Odin. I am very good with android. I can fix your problem. Is there anyway you could direct message me?
