Red Screen of Death after Flashing FW - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hello everyone,
I just managed to get a red screen of death by flashing a fw with odin.
I guess the problem was, i just flashed the AP file. now i cant even join to the download mode.
trying this, i just get a bootloop. but i can still turn my screen on and off with the red screen.
is there a way to fix this? my s7 edge was just rooted.
thanks in advice.

Red screen implies that you flash S7flat firmware on S7Edge.
Your phone should still be running even if it just show red screen.
Download mode should still be accessible even if it only show red screen. So enter download mode and flash the correct firmware.

Please elaborate what is blue, then red, then yellow.
Are they showing up all at the same time?
Is this what you have been experiencing? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2642038
Take the battery out for a few seconds, then put back in, boot into Download mode clear cache etc, reboot. Fixed.
If no good, reflash stock ROM via Odin. Fixed.
As for the Recovery is not seandroid enforcing it's normal on a rooted/custom recovery device.
In future, I'd suggest you read before you mess around with your device if it's so important to you.

Just want to make sure you know how to go into download mode. Remove and put back battery, while phone is off, press power + vol down + home button all at the same time until something comes up on the screen. Let go of all buttons then press vol up. Is that what you are doing to get into download mode?
The only problem you have is your 4.4.2 ROM. Nothing will boot because you want to startup a 4.4.2 Rom/Recovery with a 4.3 Bootloader. Just go back in Download mode, connect with your PC and flash official 4.4.2 ROM with ticking the option "Update Bootloader". Everything should work after, but I don't recommend 4.4. You can't go back and you have much probs with current KitKat ROMs.

I also encountered this problem once. Try restarting Odin and pulling off your phone's battery and again booting into Odin mode and then flashing the firmware. If it still doesn't flash the firmware then your firmware file may be corrupt. If it is then try re-downloading the firmware or get another firmware for your phone.

Did you try and flashed rom again ( odin) ?? another option would be to flash (odin) a custom recovery see if it let you enter it and do a factory reset ..only problem is it will trigger your knox bit to 1..
@lloop: Are you completely stock, or did you attempt to install a custom recovery? The behavior you describe is identical to the behavior witness by myself and others when trying to install TWRP 2.8.5.0 on the S4.
One other thing that might help here. On occasion I've had the device get stuck in recovery. Going into download mode, cancelling download mode, and then holding down the buttons to go into recovery often works.

S8 stuck at Samsung logo, no boot, no recovery, only download mode !!!

Hello guys,
I guess I won't be the only one having this issue. My phone went dead suddenly, and doesn't boot. It only give a circle with a lightning bolt but not charging, is it a battery issue ?
At the same time, I can only go to download mode, no recovery, and I can flash via Odin, with success, but it doesn't boot up still.
This is driving me crazy and I am not sure whether it's a hardware or software issue !!!
Anyone having any thoughts on this ?
Thank you.
Turn your phone off. Put it on the charger. Leave it alone for at least 1/3 of the day. I've been using Android for a long time. This usually happens to my Androids, at least once in their lifetime. It should be good to go afterwards.
PS: Make sure your charger works and don't touch the phone. Let it get a good 8hr charge w/o touching a button.
Let me know if this works for you.

HEY brother.
my case is a bit weird
i bought my s8 running nougat used it for 2 days and it was all good , so i received the Oreo update and updated it using the over the air when I received connected to wifi.
my phone started to reboot randomly even for 30 times per day , i tried several things like wiping cashe and the only solution that reduced the problem was uninstalling my installed apps. basically normal apps like facebook , whatsapp , spotify ,and even stock apps like calculator and music player.
today as usual I woke up picked up my phone and it started rebooting so i uninstalled some apps but it kept rebooting.
sometimes it reboots and get stuck at GALAXAY s8 boot screen [ not samsung flickering screen ] and all i had to do to overcome the boot loop is pressing and holding volume down and power button.
but one time it got stuck and boot looped once and for all. I tried to press volume down and power button to make it reboot again and overcome the bootloop but it rebooted and got stuck at the bootloop.
I tried to access recovery but i couldn't access it.
I can access download mode only.
my phone switches on itself when it is plugged in to charge , i can't turn it off completely to charge it while off.
I reflashed stock firmware and it succeeded using odin but the bootloop is still there.
please help me with my problem SIR.
and thank you really a tons.
sincerely,
Zack.
Did anyone manage to solve this? My phone has started exhibiting the same behavior.
Unable to power on the phone unless it's plugged into the charger, but if plugged in just keep boot looping to the Samsung logo.
I've tried re flashing the latest stock firmware, but this hasn't made any difference.
sounds like a typical case of the battery beginning to fail
Flash twrp and a custom rom... Only solution but go to YouTube and check how to flash twrp s8 oreo? Must watch
Flash back to stock, leave the phone charged until 100% then use the stock recovery or flash twrp and wipe cache and dalvik
Thanks all for the suggestions.
I've tried to flash twrp but I get the error "Custom Binary(RECOVERY) Blocked by FRP Lock".
I've flashed the stock firmware multiple times successfully via Odin v3.1.13.1 (G950FXXU2CRF7) but this doesn't make any difference.
I still can't boot up the phone. The only thing I can do on the phone is have it plugged in and go into download mode.
I can't boot into recovery.
If I leave it plugged in it will power on, vibrate, boot loop to the Samsung logo all day. (It does not show the charging circle)
Could this be a worse case scenario and be a hardware issue? Don't want to give up hope yet, since I can still flash a firmware with Odin.

It varies depending on what firmware I try to flash it acts differently. All firmwares I try to flash will take a while in "flash analysis" and then to "setup connection" it takes so much time. After wait some time it fails.
I can send you some pictures if needed. When I get home I will.try again and send you the error.
This is what one error looked like trying to flash G955USQK2_Stock_recovery_BoxWares.tar.md5
This is the error.
<10:0/0/004> Odin engine v (ID:3.1207...
<10:0/0/004> File Analysis
<10:0/0/004> Setup Connection
<OSM> All threads completed (succeed 0/failed 1)
Also excuse for PM you, I thought you were going through the same thing but realized this morning during work that it was my post you replied to.
Any Solution??

its Odin mode, not mood LoL
get a fresh download of the firmware youre trying to flash and flash it instead. Get the Frija tool as it downloads the firmware waaaaaay faster than directly from www.sammobile.com/firmwares

I'm having the same problem. Using the binary U5 "combination" file, I was able to access the system and enable OEM unlocking, so I could install TWRP and then a Custom ROM. But that's it, I can't use ROM Stock anymore, my phone only works if it's in a Custom ROM. I wanted to solve the problem so I could use Stock again. Bottom line: In ROM Stock, the phone is locked under the name SAMSUNG GALAXY S7 EDGE, enters recovery and appears "ERASING" then erases and repeats everything again, never starting the system or having access to Recovery.
Sorry for the bad english, I used translate ...
Hey! Look this video, he works for me!!
