Hello, i got Frp lock text, tried going to download mode and flashing a stock firmware, when my phone goes halfway throught it restarts and goes into download mode, now it messed up my boot and stuff and it only shows that "An error has occured while updating the device software.
Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software.
I can't flash it, it keeps rebooting, please help, thank you.
Use kies 3 and under tools select "software upgrade" put in your serial number and model then follow the steps it should work.
Make sure you don't grab or touch the phone when connected to pc because Odin is finicky like that.

hello ,
i rooted my Phone and did a very stupid thing and in settings i turned of oem unlock and usb debugging off again. so now my Phone wont start cause of the message "custom binary(recovery) blocked by frp lock.
i tried something trough odin for the recovery but it failed so now the Phone wont turn off and when i try to go to recovery mode it says "an error has occurred while updating the device software .use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software"
i tried that but the Phone is not compatible with smart switch and with samsung kies 3.

Its because you didnt explored smart switch properly ..
I have been there with my phone samsung galaxy j5 ... it happened just like yours ... i rooted my phone, forgot to check oem unlock and got the "custom binary blocked by frp lock" .. then i went to odin and flashed my firmware .. and it turns out .. the firmware i flashed is not the firmware of my phone .. so i got the message "an error occured while updating blah blah please go to smart switch blah blah blah " but i fixed it so theres solution for that ... smart switch
You said smart switch cant read your device?? Its because its bricked theres no way it can be read ..
So all you have to do:
1. Open smart switch
2. Go to "more"
3. Then go to "emergency software recovery and initialization"
5. Then go to "device initialization"
6.Put your model number and then your S/N or serial number .. it is found in the back of your edge plus.. it starts with letter R..
7.. after that .. you wait .. it will download the files for your phone...
That way you wont be flashing ramdom firmwares .. your phones firmware will be flashed since smart switch used the serial number.. i hope this helps..
Hi,
I have attempted to update my device to Android 6.0.1
- grabbed ROM from sammobile.com
- put device in download mode
- used ODIN by just loading the .tar.md5 file in AP and hitting start
ODIN spat something like "Write operation failed" just after this "hidden.img.ext4" file.
Googled a bit and it seems that deleting the "hidden.img.ext4" from the tar would be all that is needed.
But...
ODIN would not start flashing with the new .tar file. So I have rebooted the device and bam!
Code:
The device now reads "An error occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software)
So I went on and installed the Smart Switch app for the emergency recovery function. Tried with 3 versions of it 4.2.18xxxx - 4.1.16xxxx - 4.1.17xxxxx. No chance in the first version, the last two versions would allow me to input the device information (model and S/N) but both spat back at me
Code:
Smart Switch App says "SM-A500FU does not support initializing. Please contact our service center"
So, I am now stuck with a permanently turned-on-screen device that would not go into download / recovery mode (but it does reboot to the same screen), the battery is non-removable, and I also got some Z3x samsung tool thing at hand, hmm... Any chance for me to put it back into download mode or is it good for the recycle bin ?
Thank you
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

I installed V3 and I've been told I need to flash Blv4. I can't get into download mode anymore. Whenever I attempt to access it I get the "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery option" and I can't get into download mode. Whenever I start device that same error comes up and phone won't turn on. I've been told I need the full firmware G892AUCU4BSC1 but I can't find it and I can't even get into download mode to apply it.
Thanks for the help

If you can find the firmware you can fish from that screen. Boot download and when error pops up you can see it connect in Odin. The issue is finding that firmware

Thank you, very good to know, i need this firmware now
Phone still broken. Attempted to flash active-G892AUCU4BSC1 firmware just to have it running and odin 3.13.1 fails everytime. It gets to the end and just fails. Still don't have answers
The BSC1 firmware is linked 4PDA, in both AT&T and unlocked form.
Hello guys. I need some help.
While updating through odin, it crashed, now my device only display "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software"
When i install smarts swtich, it ask me for emergency code from previous pc, but i dont have any code. any idea?
something like this happened to me and I was told to go ahead and try to install again in ODIN - that even though it doesn't say it is in download mode, it will still install las it normally is supposed to. So I opened odin and added the stock rom I wanted - plugged my phone into the USB and hit start in odin and it installed fine.
That worked for me - hope it works for you - Good Luck
