I bought a note 3 off of ebay. It came rooted with a custom os. I tried to unroot it using the unroot feature on SuperSU and now it refuses to boot up. I get past the samsung screen and then the at&t circle starts and never finishes. I believe I should try and reinstall the old firmware to fix the problem. But since it has Android 6 on it i dont know if I should try android 4.4.4 or what I should do.
Did you confirm the model # in download mode? Do you see anything about Knox or warranty but on the download screen?
Download Samsung Kies onto your PC
Open the software
Go to "Tools" at the top
Click "Firmware upgrade and initialization"
Enter your model number (can be found underneath the battery. Then click OK
Enter your serial number (also under battery)
Click OK
Then follow the onscreen instructions

I was trying to upate the SUBinary and it told me to reboot. As soon as I did I get a message saying "Custom Binary Blocked by FRP" and a red text saying "Secure Fail : Kernal" help me.
It has something to do with your Google account being logged into the phone.. samsung can send signal to reset it but they won't if it's been rooted etc still trying to make sure reflash omg the phone with original rom would make it worse or not. Or maybe just reflash in the kernal. I'm on t mobile but can only find original rom on t mobile same network but we will see. I'm on my fiance a accident messaging from her phone lol or maybe just reflash the kernal the whole problem for me is I don't have a computer to try to reflash from what someone told me I may try to reflash with odin 3.90 with a tar file to the exact model number

Worked for my SM-G530W
I had the same problem, and i used Kies3 (not compatible with my phone anyway), but if you go on toolbar to "TOOLS", "Firmware Upgrade and initialisation", it asks you for your device model (for mine i typed SM-G530W, and then it asks you for device serial number (S/N) found under the battery by the IMEI number. After this, follow on screen prompts (Restart your device in Download mode/ PDA, connect USB cable, etc), and let the software download and install (factory rom); After your device restarts, you are good to go (sometimes if it gets stuck on booting, remove battery for few second and start again.) Now you have to go back and set up everything you want, including re-rooting your device... Good luck. (My device is Galaxy Grand Prime SM-G530W Factory unlocked rom, Android 5.11.
Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy A5 2016.
I tried to root my phone!
I used this: download.chainfire.eu/937/CF-Root1/CF-Auto-Root-a5xelte-a5xeltexx-sma510f.zip?retrieve_file=1
AKA CF-Auto-Root-a5xelte-a5xeltexx-sma510f.zip

My phone is STUCK with the samsung galaxy A5 6 boot screen.
ABOVE the samsung logo in RED it says "RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING"
It says NOTHING else.

I will try to flash with the ORIGINAL firmware! and we will see the results
Download Kies3 from the official samsung site
Install
Open and go to Tools > Firmware upgrade and Initialization
Enter your model number (SM-A510F) and the serial number (you can check this on the sticker that came with the phone (a.k.a. S/N))
Connect phone to PC, click continue and wait until your phone finishes installing the original software
My phone went down one day when I switched off the alarm by pressing the power button.

Unable to enter recovery mod and unable to install software via Kies
Phone not yet rooted,approximately 1-year use, lollipop 5.0.2 , Model : SM G360FY/DS
Any have any idea what might have happened and any solution?

I don't have your model of phone, I've got SM-S820L. Have you tried booting into ODIN mode?
If you haven't tried that, I would do so and try using ODIN to flash a firmware update. You will need Samsung Drivers, a new release of ODIN3, and Kies or Kies3.
There are some good guides on this site that can push you along your way to full recovery of your phone.:good:

NO CHANCE OF GETTING A NEW PHONE
I'm sending you a PM right now my friend!
Hi guys, I've been looking on the forums and i didn't find a way to solve my problem, my Samsung J5 J500m has the "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch PC software" screen. I've tried both smart switch and Samsung kies and it hasn't worked, the thing is that i don't have the "depuration usb" on, nor the eom unblocked, the phone interal memory is almost full and i don´t have any custom recovery such as twrp or others.
If anyone knows how to solve this or can send me to the right thread i would really appreciate it

You don't need usb debugging or oem unlocked to recover your phone. Smart switch's emergency recover detector isn't that reliable sometimes it doesn't detect devices in emergency recover mode. However there should be a second tab in smart switch to recover your phone. It's "device initialization", device initialization works similar like odin. If you don't have this tab then you probably installed a newer version of smart switch. If that's the case follow this instruction:
1. Uninstall current installed smart switch from your pc
2. Download this ealier version of smart switch from samsungs official download center.
3. Install it. Once you run smart switch you might get a pop up screen to update to the latest smart switch version: don't update it!!. press cancel.
4. Now reinstall usb drivers in smart switch: more > reinstall device driver. Make sure to disconnect your cable first.
5. if finished, locate to More > Emergency software recovery and initialization > device initialization
6. There is a section to enter your model name, enter SM-J500M. Press search.
7. Now you need to enter your serial number. As you can't access your phone to view your serial number, you can still find it printed on your phone packaging or behind your device's battery. Enter your serial number in S/N section. Press confirm. Note: New devices don't support "device initialization" but your device should be still supported
8. Now you should see a pop up window where you see something like "initialized version". Press Ok and let smart switch recover your device. You should see a bar appearing on your device screen. If you press "ok" be warned! this step will wipe all your data on your internal storage!
9. After it's finished your device should boot normal again.
Good Luck! :fingers-crossed:
It says "this devices don't support device initialization"
Thanks anyway,

Can you access odin mode (volume down + home button + power button to boot to odin mode)?
If yes, flash a stock firmware for your device using odin. You can download stock firmwares from SamMobile, SamFrew or Updato. Make sure you run Odin as administrator
Thank you, it worked!! :victory::victory:
i was trying whit a sammobile firmeware, i supose it was the wrong one, thanks for sending me the right one

Wrong firmware.
I had my original SM-J510MN bricked last night because I tried to install a corrupt or incompatible TWRP image on it, so, in the way all through the hell I did the following:
1. There is no information on Google about this exact machine (MSM8960).
2. I messed up with SmartSwitch PC Software piece of junk by reinstalling the driver which never worked, provided by its own SmartSwitch option menu.
3. That driver installed before was never going to work because you have to boot Windows 7 in a way to avoid signed drivers checking (Pressing F8 at boot).
4. After research I found out that I had to downgrade the SmartSwitch version to a one with the enabled tab "Device initialization".
5. Finally, I had the driver and a correct SmartSwitch version just to realize I had to type the Model name of my device in UPPERCASE because those Samsung engineers didn't realize a normal user may be would type in lowercase ().
6. I typed the S/N (serial number) located on the backside of the phone and I got the message "Please check the model name and S/N, and enter them again". I triple checked the inserted values, to this point I was feeling I'm totally lost.
7. I downloaded at least 10 Gibibytes (Gigabytes but in the right terms) in stock ROMs which none of them worked for multiple and different reasons.
So this beautiful COVID-19 lockdown morning I woke up inspired thanks Jehovah God and I just tried the old way to inspect this whole site by using Google like this: "site:xda-developers.com j510mn" and I found a compatible fully working TWRP that I flashed using Odin v3.14.1 and then the phone booted normally.
While I was looking for a custom ROM then I didn't realize the WiFi stopped working so I am looking for a solution.
2020-06-06
To bring the Wi-Fi back to my device I had to flash LineageOS 14.1, and then you will be able to flash any custom ROM you may find.
I hope this helps, greetings from Colombia.

When you open your device hold power button + Down volume + home button and flash the stock ROM, its a soft brick, not hard brick. J510MN is fully compatible with every version of TWRP.

OK, sorry for not having been that explicit, but I'm going to be right now:
Last night I had a useless phone...
satisfied?
does your correction help in any way? does that help with the initial post at all? is there any difference between hard and soft bricked that could help on that?
