Urgent help needed! S7 edge stuck in recovery mode - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hello everyone. Was trying to update my S7 Edge to the latest firmware, India. However. the phone got stuck in recovery mode. Cant even switch off the phone. Tried to reinstall in recovery mode once but that too failed.
Also the screen is on and the phone is warm for mre than 5 hrs. I am afraid some internal hardware might get damages. Its stuck on the green screen which reads :An error has occurred whil;e updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in smartswitch PC software.
The service centre are closed for two days due to Ganpati festival here. Need your urgent help.

Is this "recovery screen" cyan/blue? If yes then it's a odin recovery mode.
Just hold volume down + home + power until Your phone force reboots to odin mode.
But. If that doesn't do anything or still shows You that recovery screen, then just open odin on Your PC and connect Your phone. It should find Your phone anyway. Now all You have to do is flash any kind of image if Your phone has working boot.img and system.img. If not then reflash whole firmware and You should be fine

OK. Never realized a thumbs up thanks works more than a written and acknowledged thanks. Have done it.
Have been going through some tutorials. Just have a query whether to add CSC file or Home CSC file to odin folder?

So finally tried installing through odin. But received a fail message. Any suggestions? Received the following msgs.
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Odin engine v(ID:3.1203)..
<ID:0/004> File analysis..

Sorry. I was busy.
Okay!
Tap on AP in odin and add Home image and then tap on start. Home image should be around 3-4GB.
Edit: make sure that You have newest odin and proper firmware for Your phone.

Thanks again. I did try uploading all four files. AP, BL, CP and Home CSC.
So after tapping on AP i should add AP file right which is 4.2 GB? Didnt get any home image file.
Sorry for the silly questions. I am a complete noob in all this.
Update: Finally managed to restore via smartswitch. Thank you everyone

I'm happy You fixed it .
Just in case if You'll need extra help later. (Or anyone else)
Inside the zip file that You download from sammobile should be couple of files. One of them should be named Home_something.tar.md5 - this one goes to AP.
Then You should press start and let it do its work. But if Smartswitch works for You then no need to worry.

Just to inform you if there is a next time, try another USB port and/or a different USB cable (ie. the original one)

same issue
i have pretty much the same issue but mine is stuck via a bad rom. the problem I have now is my computer will not recognize it when I plug into usb. any ideas?

i need help flashing back to stock bell firmware please

i have been searching for 2 days for the original bell galaxy s jh2 firmware so i can flash my phone back to 100% stock and exchange it for a new one (mine wont boot into recovery with the 3 button combo).
i am looking for the bell version, including all of the pre-installed bell crapware, etc. can anyone provide a link to either an update.zip file or the files needed for odin? i was trying to un-root my jh2 software yesterday morning and couldnt do it, so after a bunch of flashing, and two near brickings i am now on jm6 firmware but now kies wont connect to my phone. all of the drivers are there, and i have uninstalled and reinstalled kies already but my phone will no longer connect.
i downloaded the jh2 files from http://www.samsungflash.com/wiki/I9000 and tried to flash with odin but it left my phone in a bricked state. the files provided were only the pit and pda file and the flash just wouldnt work. i have only been successful with odin when using separate pda, modem, and csc files. any help would be appreciated
When you turn on your phone what does it do exactly? Does it boot into the OS, or just stay on the Samsung screen?
Have you tried using the Bell firmware (JH2) found here. That is the provider file. So if you can find the PDA and PHONE file you like then that file should return it to stock.
Post back with results.

my phone boots up fine, it was completely screwed up yesterday but i actually ended up flashing to the software you linked to. that software doesnt have any of the bell stuff in it.
thanks for trying, though
edit
i forgot to type in the code at the end of those instructions and it hard reset my phone but now the bell stuff shows up. thanks! the only problem is that the software doesnt show up as jh2, but the apps are there. one step closer
If you are to return it to bell in this state, would they really look to see what firmware was flashed to it. Especially if you are returning it because of the 3 button problem? As long as it boots up and they can see you have not broken it, this should be sufficient.
Correct me if I am wrong.

i just dont need the hassle if they notice it is rooted and dont want to take it back.
member Richthofen sent me a link to the files and i used odin to flash back. it is now 100% stock.
That is awesome, glad to see it worked for you. Would you mind linking to the files so others with the Bell brand can do the same?

this is a link to the files needed to use odin to flash back to 100% stock bell firmware. thanks to richthofen for the file
Sorry to revive an old thread but I think this is the ideal spot to put this question. My SGS I9000M is stuck on the boot screen so this will be my first try with ODIN.
I have installed ODIN 4.03, and I have downloaded the above file and unzipped it with 7ZIP. It contained one .tar file. I put my I9000M into downloading mode, launched ODIN and plugged in the phone. It was detected and says com port mapping 1 (COM5) on ODIN. I ticked the One Package option box and selected the .tar in the One Package address box. Already selected were Reboot, Protect OPS and Reset Time (300 ms). I clicked start and a popup said "Check Image Files!!". I clicked okay. The log box to the left indicates "Download Start..." but nothing appears to be happening, and the start button is available to be pressed again.
Did I miss something?
Thanks!
_____________
UPDATE: Okay, Looks like you need ODIN 3, version 1.0, as far as I can tell, so I have installed that, put phone in download mode, plugged it in and ODIN detects is (0(COM5)) There is no One Package option so I went with PDA.
The following appears in the log window:
<ID:0/005> Added!!
<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..
<ID:0/005> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/005> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/005> dbdata.rfs
The phone screen went blank and is non responsive. There is no apparant change in ODIN. I'll let it sit for a while unless someone can redirect me on this?
Thanks.

Disconnect phone from pc if not done already.
1) restart Odin
2) tick "repartition"
3) choose 512 pit file
4) put phone in download mode, connect phone to pc, click START in Odin
5) Once Odin says "PASS", disconnect phone
6) remove and replace battery
7) In Odin click "reset", untick "repartition", put tar file in "PDA"
8) put phone in download mode, connect phone to pc, click START in Odin
9) Once Odin says "PASS", disconnect phone and just let it reboot
10) Voila, you're back to 2.1 stock
Good luck!

I had black screen after s logo boot.
So I used Odin 7 new to re-flash jk3 the bell version. And when it booted up first time I get mount error and vol + home and power does not work only download mode works. I flash like 15 times same ****. Even used different check marks repartition and boot loader all did not held any results.
Now that I sent it back to bell, I wonder if I had used Oden 1.3 instead of Oden 1.7 if that would have helped at all
I think it's the defective internal sd memory, as my phone is bell phone and I keep reading problems with the internal sd memory.
Do you think it could have been revived or am I right it is defective memory.
So I sent it back

Hello! Problem with ODIN

I recently bought my SGS International version and very pleased with it, in an attempt to improve its performance I tried to install a new ROM.
The process of hacking the root user I didn't encounter any issues, however, when I tried to flash using ODIN it didn't seem to work. I selected the files, connected SGS (debugging mode), the software recognized the phone (yellow bar with com port), but I click to start received the following:
<ID:0/006> Added!!
<ID:0/006> Odin v.3 engine (ID:6)..
<ID:0/006> File analysis..
It seemed to be stuck on file analysis.
Perhaps the ODIN version I'm using isn't up to date? With that in mind can anyone give me a download link? (had trouble finding one).
Also, I'm not sure if it's related or not, but Kies refuses to recognize my device, it's getting stuck with the message connecting.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
uncheck the debugging mode.
you must boot into a special mod named download mode.
to do this, you have to power down your phone, take the battery out for a few sec, remove sim and external sd card,then plug in the battery and press volume down button, keep it pressed, press home button, keep it pressed, then press power button until you see an android robot with a shovel. it will say:downloading... and below: do not turn off target!!! then you can open odin, select the files you want to download then connect the phone (important!) then you can start flashing.
hope this helps.
u dont need to take the battery out to get in to download mode!
you know just for dischargement and safety, this will be 100 percent safe if odin doesnt screw up.
Thank you all for your replies!
However. I run odin while the phone is download mode, I have the digging android while I do the above
Odin 1.7 is on the forum or google/search .
Your problem may be the rom rather than Odin ..

Thanks for the link, the rom is darkys, which is well known. I'll try with a newer version of odin when I get home

A big probleme

Hello everyone I'm a newbie in Android. A had a Nokia N97 mini and now i bought a Samsung Galaxy S 2. Beeing new to Android it was kinda hard the first days to adapt. But i did. And now to tell you about my problem.
Whenever i try to copy some movies/sounds/photos from pc to S2 it gives me this error "The path is too deep". So i tried to copy in a more direct path.. Still nothing... But the big problem is that i cannot update my phone through Odin. Wheter is Android 2.3.3 KE7 or 2.3.4 KG1 or a ROM I'm not able to do it. And I decided to update thru Kies. All good but the update failed... It said it need to enter Recovery Mode. I clicked ok and then my pc rebooted. Then i got this image on my phone with a pc and a phone, chained together by an exclamation mark inside an orange triangle... And now i cannot restart my phone, i can't do anything.
Is it bricked? Please help me...

Ok. Stop. Breath. Your phone isnt bricked...yet.
Your phone is currently in 'download mode'.
Im not sure which directions you were following, did you download the software from intratechs thread in development? If so, he has step by step directions in the opening post.
You should be looking to install kf2.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
[ROM + Guide]Official i9100 KE7/KE8/KF1/KF3/KF4/KF2/KF3/KG2 download and Root Guide.
Remember, your phone is already in download mode. So just connect it to the pc, and then dont touch it .
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA Premium App
If your pc is rebooting when you try to perform an update then it's more than likely an issue with your pc.
I don't think your phone is bricked as stoney73 has stated as well it's in download mode
bricking a phone isn't that simple unless something abnormal happens (e.g. unplugging the cable while flashing a rom), I am sure your phone is fine. The feeling I have is the drivers in your PC are not installed/working properly, since I don't see the reason that flash via Odin will fail (Kies is another story...), try reinstall the driver and flash again
you may like to read this amazing thread to understand some fundamental terms (such as recovery and download mode)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134290
Also remember that Kies often gets in conflict with Odin, so open task manager in windows and kill all kies processes before using Odin.

Friends, i know what Download Mode is. And i tell you this is not the case. The phone was in recovery mode and then, all of a sudden an image appeared: and that image is not download mode. It's a little phone and a pc connected together by a small triangle orange with an "!" in it. I repeat, it's not in download mode.
If i pull out the battery the phone shuts down. Then i put the battery back in, start the phone in download mode :Vol down+Home+Lock and it sais :Vol Down-Restart the phone or Vol Up- Enter Down Mode. If i press vol down the phone shows that irritating image again(with the phone and the pc) and if i press vol up it enters download mode...
The firmware is official... Will i need a USB Jig to bring back my phone to life ?
PS: I have the latest drivers, Any Kies process has been stoped in Task Manager before the update and i followed step-by-step guides to update it. I tried 2.3.3 KE7, 2.3.4 KG1 and Lit'ning ROM. Neither would work for me, update failed at all was shown...
I'm really desperate...

That is also download mode. So your phone isnt bricked. If you connect your phone to the pc, stop kies from running, and then run odin, does the square under id:com turn yellow?
like this:
what should i do ? Should i try again with odin ?
In the PDA Section What should i put in ? WHat's the latest firmware...
LE: Yes that square turns yellow and it sais added but after a few seconds the whole thing freezes... No progress bar, nothing...

The thing to do is to follow the directions in Intratechs thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278.
From Intratechs opening post:
"1. Just download the firmware version you want from above and extract the .tar file in the archive and save it somewhere
2. Reboot your phone to download mode.(Ignore, your phone is already in download mode, )
To get download mode shut down the device. After it shuts off completely simultaneously press the Down volume key+ Home button + press the power button .
You should see a warning asking you to press volume up if you want to continue or volume down to cancel, press volume up. You are now in download mode!(again ignore, you are already in download mode.)
3. Start Odin
4. Click on the PDA button and browse to the .tar file that you extracted in step 1
If the package has more than one .tar archive then they will be labelled with PDA, Phone/Modem and CSC. Just put them in the corresponding section of Odin
5. DO NOT PUT .PIT FILE AND DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT TICK REPARTITION.
6. Connect the USB cable and wait for the ID:COM section to turn yellow
7. Click start to flash
8. Do not disconnect the cable or turn off the device, it will reboot when it finishes. "

Try uninstalling kies AND the usb drivers then install them again and try once more.
Do you have access to another PC?
Are you using the official samsung usb cable?
So i should uninstall kies and then try again with odin? Yes i use the official Samsung USB Cable...

Just saw your post about clicking repartition are you sure you done this?
If you have then you need a .pit file as per intratech's notes on the dev forum
.PIT refers to the partition information table you only need it if you screw up your partition table or if the firmware specifically requires it because of a change in the partition table layout. It's very likely you may never have to use this.
I think you might need to flash the csc, pda, pit and everything else separately.
Can some others confirm this?
I kinda trusted this site, this is where i got the instructions...

Cant flash stock 6.01 - needs PIT file!?

Hi
I have been trying to fix my sisters 910f and have managed to flash several custom roms via twrp but the problem of black screen when rebooting and having to pull the battery for 10 mins to get a response from the power button remains.
So I have tried two different stock 6.01 ROMs via ODIN and both fail after a few seconds with a message saying it cant find the PIT file. I know messing with PIT can be dangerous, but I have no option. Where do I find this, I have looked on SamMobile but not found it there, or here on xda.
EDIT
I found this tread and a PIT file for the 910F but now Odin says
Re-Partition operation failed.
EDIT2
it seemed to have been ok with the pit eventually, but then it now says
<ID:0/007> Complete(Write) operation failed.
Anyone?

Hmmm, strange, try redownloading the stock firmware it may have gotten corrupted, if that doesn't work install the latest drivers for the note 4 without it plugged in, then reinstall them with it plugged in

Thanks mate, I will give it a go.
I had actually downloaded two versions of 6.01 for the uk, one was uploaded in April, the other in June... both have this same issue.
I'm thinking there must be a hardware problem.

Put your phone in download mode and read the first line on top left, it should say 910F. If it doesn't that may be your problem.
In either case you can try the emergency software recovery and initialization from Smart Switch from your pc/laptop .. all you need is a good internet connection and write down your device S/N where you can find this on the back of your phone (beneath the battery).
1. Download and install SmartSwitch from Samsung web
2. Run SmartSwitch from your PC/Laptop
3. On the upper right corner of SmartSwitch you'll find "More" option and click that
4. Choose "Emergency software recovery and initialization" and it will open a new window
5. Click on "Device Initialization" tab
6. Enter your phone Model name... which i pressume SM-N910C and then click "Search"
7. Now enter your device S/N and then click "OK"
8. A new dialog box will show up, click "OK"
9. Another dialog box which will say about initialized version... click "OK"
10. Yes, another dialog box which say that software update and initialization for galaxy note 4 will now start, the "OK" button is greyed out so you can't click it just yet.
11. Put your device to Download Mode
12. Connect your device to your PC/Laptop
13. The "OK" button will turn blue then click it and follow the rest of the procedures.
14. Once it finished, your device will reboot.
All this process will take time depend on your internet connection, good luck...
I've tried that. Kies downloads the ROM then says it's list connection with the phone... And that I should reconnect the phone and try again. The phone doesn't boot at all now, all I can do is get to download mode.

I edited my post with more detailed instructions, however you didn't mention if your phone is a 910F based on download mode.

Well, sounds like defective hardware
Just take out the battery from the phone. There is a label inside the phone, for the model number right there. Did you check that the phone's "reactivation lock" is off?
Take a look at this thread:

Google Account Galaxy Tab A SM-T510

Hi,
I just bought a tablet Samsung Galaxy A SM-T510 and when I run it, Android ask the last Google Account that was in it.
I searched a lot in this forum but I'm not sure to understand all the way to remove this verification.
I'm new here... Somebody could explain me the way to remove it ?
It's impossible to run Android without this email. I do not have access to the system configuration.
When I look for the Android Recovery, my version is T510XXU1ASEF XEF. I already tried to install a new firmware (I succeded and I was thinking it would be enough but it wasn't).
Big thank you for your help.

You must be doing something wrong. That's is the solution that works and it is the ONLY solution. If you can't get it to work, you got a brick.
edit: Make sure you have the combo files for the T510 and not some other model.

Ok...
My way :
- Recovery mode
- Wipe data/factory reset. Same for cache
- Reboot to BootLoader
- Launch Odin V3.13.1 like administrator
- Connect the tablet to PC
- Put the combination file into AP... Look that "Auto Reboot" and "F Reset Time" is checked.
- "Start".
It's good until there ?
Ty for your answer.

You have to be in "Download" mode to use Odin. And there are two steps in using the two combo files. I don't you recall the exact steps but they are in the instructions.

When I choose the option "Reboot to bootloader", I've a blue screen with "Downloading". This is not this way ?
When I connect the tablet to PC, Odin recognize it.

My tablet is a T580 and the download screen is green. But if Odin show "added" when you plug it into the PC, then it should work. You still have to proceed with the combo files as instructed.

Then ! I was not in download mode... For the download mode, you need to:
- Power off the tablet
- Press up and down
- Connect cable to Odin
- A blue screen appaers, press up to confirm
- You're in downloading mode.
Btw, I tried with the combination file that I downloaded yesterday, and I've one fail in Odin with this log:

I check "re-partition" and "F Reset Time".
I'm I in the good way ?
The combination File is good for my version od firmware ?

You can't just use Odin on the combo file. That file must first be extracted to find the TWO files needed for Odin. Then you use Odin on one file first and then let the tablet reboot. Then go back into download and use Odin for the other file. I don't recall which file goes first but the instruction should be in the post where you found the file you downloaded.

When I extract the .rar, I've only only file that end with ".tar.md5"... I've only one file in the archive. I need to extract this ".tar.md5"? How can I do that?

You don't. md5 files are what you use in Odin. Again, not owning a T510, I don't know the exact process for it. For the T580, it is a two stage process. Maybe for the T510, you just use Odin on the one md5 file you extracted. Any further assistance will have to come from someone who has done it on the T510.
edit: BTW, you probably shouldn't check "re-partition" unless you are flashing a PIT file.

Ty for you help.
It's probably different between those two model.
I tried all way to flash correctly, I tried to download again other version of "combination file" to turn fail in success, but nothing works.
I searched for hours how to FRP unlock... Nobody have idea about my problem ?
When I'm in Downloading mode, I can see in the top left :
ODIN MODE
DOWNLOAD SPEED : FAST
PRODUCT NAME : SM-T510
CURRENT BINARY : Samsung Official
KG STATE : Prenormal
FRP LOCK : ON
OEM LOCK : ON(L)
Secure Download : Enabled
CCIC = S2MM005 hw: 7 boot: 8 main4a
CARRIER_ID:
WARRANTY VOID: 0 (0x0000)
RP SWREV B: 1 K: 1 S: 1
DID = 44d7f75a222c
Do I have to change something there or this is correct ?
For information, I can't change OEM cuzz I don't have access to system.
Yes, do not check the re partition. You are not partitioning the device. Flashing a combination file is the same on both the T580 and the T510. However, you should have 4 files to flash not just one. You should have a BL, AP and the CSC with the HOME CSC files. Put each one in their respective places. All files being used by Odin3 must be in "tar.md5" form. You do not have to plug in the USB cord to get the device into Download mode but you have to plug it in to flash it. You will get a blue connected section when you do.
Then apparently you are trying to get past the FRP lock. There are a variety of methods to remove the Google Account FRP lock on You Tube but this is the one you probably are looking for.

Don't check re-partition. That will re-partition the whole device, and ruin it. Was this device brand new or used??

He cant flash combo without a factory token as it needs approval now.. same as most all other new samsung devices are. The approval error displays on the phone itself once the flash fails in odin.

How do you obtain a factory token? If your tablet was bought from a legit seller on eBay, can you get one from Samsung? How do you use it?

I contacted Samsung which wouldn't help because I bought mine from EBay. Unaurthorized reseller was what I was told and they couldn't help me. So I scoured through You Tube videos and found nothing that will help unless the device had a SIM card which it doesn't. Sooner or later someone will get past this FRP account lock and we can use our tablets. In the meantime I'll experiment with it.

I just received my SM-T720 back from Samsung and I purchased on eBay. Had to have eBay (not the seller) send me a proof of purchase email to do it, but it was accepted. Probably depends on how helpful the person who handles your call wants to be. If I were you, I'd contact eBay and get a proof of purchase from them, and then try Samsung again.:fingers-crossed:
edit: As I recall, I did have to get fairly persistent before the rep agreed to help.:crying:
