Hi .
Just install stock recovery again to get the tab in download mode again .
Stock recovery can be found in the stock firmware files , mostly in the ( AP , Code ) file .
Just try to extract file using " 7z '' . There you will find the stock recovery .
Put it in the AP or Code field and flash it using Odin . While the tab in the dead screen.
Regards

I used Heimdall ; it has a command to close the phone-to-pc screen (in linux terminal > heimdall "close-pc-to-phone-screen" ; heimdall -help to get exact command).

Is this support Odin new versions?
Anybody try this with Odin new version like 3.12.10 or 3.13.1

Hello , have you fixed if yet?
If not i would suggest you this vidéo that i did
https:// youtu.be/8FnNIoP1tSA
Follow all thé steps and you will have a rooted device with twrp,
But bé careful all thé data will bé erased!!
If you dont want Root , you Can Always install just thé stock firmware, Use thé download links on thé vidéo ,
If you dont know what software to choose, it doesent matter thé country or thé (AFXXU6ASL),
Just use thé firmware that has thé date thé latest (and you wont have FAIL in Odin, that happens bécause thé bootloader doesent allow firmware older than thé one that is installed)

Looking to root my s10+ or a compatible stock Rom

Hi Xda devers,
i accidentally bought an s10+ not knowing that the model from Japan.
more infos (from cpuz):
Model: SCV42 (scv42_jp_kdi)
Processor: Snapdragon 855
Bootloader: SCV42KDU1DVE4
I used to flash old samsung phones with different broadbands, i tried the F model, it broke and entered reboot loop.
If i may ask:
Can anyone provide me with TWRP or steps to root my phone since it's different model (i'll be glad to donate!)
Any stock Rom compatible with this model at least without the bloats of the career
Thank you in advance and happy rooting!

Hi, i did that on my s10+ recently, it's different from older models.
First thing i was doing it's installing twrp and when finished installing custom rom then i rooted. Here is how to root:
First unlock bootloader (OEM unlock) and enable usb debugging (developer options) (Watch out for FAP locking)
Instal magisck on your device: Magisk Manager apk/ and run it.
You need to download system from here i found your specific model, you need pc for this: Android 12 SCV42KDU1DVE4
Step two is to unzip zip file, then you will found files: AP, BL, CP, CSC OXM and HOME CSC.
For the first step you need to copy AP file to phone, only AP file, then you open magisk app and run instalation, in the first step of instalation you check "recovery mode" on the very next you click on the "method" then "Select and patch a File" in the file explorer find your AP file and chose it then click "Let's go" Wait to finish and remember the location where is stored your new AP. Create new folder on pc and store that new AP.
Second step is to run Odin, connect device to pc and put it in download mode. In Odin extract Files BL, CP and CSC (from downloaded android software) use new AP file from "new AP" folder. Run it and wait to finish then u start phone normally, when finished with settings up phone you need to power of device and then you need to start it with next combination of buttons VOLUME DOWN + BIXBY + POWER KEY and wait for the next 3 images to slide show, Realse buttons when 3rd Samsung logo appear if u don't realise on time it will boot to safe mode.
If you do that correctly go to browser and find magisk manager apk: Magisk manager / download and install it if everything is alright u will get tab with update button (not install) when you give permission to browser to instal unknown apps.
Enter the Magisk manager and your phone is rooted.

Note Fan Edition N935S - Stuck on looping Start Logo Screen

Hello All,
Will try to put all details to be able to get the right advise.
Recently was trying to root my N935s unlocked phone. The "Developer options → OEM unlocking" was enabled and USB bugging was enabled. However the process failed and threw me in an unrecoverable phone state.
Seeking help and advice to get back a working phone.
=========================================

Current State of Download Mode screens (after the rooting failure and boot loop has occurred)
==============================================================
Chronology of events (starting from an untampered stock phone)
1. Installed TWRP via flashing "AP" only using ODIN and was able to boot in TWRP recovery.
2. Made a complete backup of all partitions (including EFS) on external microSD card. Have it available - however somehow it is not helping.
3. Installed Magisk Apk 25.2 on the phone. Intention was to patch stock boot.img file and re-flash it to gain root by using Magisk,
4. Downloaded the below firmware files using Frija, by inputting the phone model N935S and CSC code as "SKC". Chose the latest file proposed by Frija in Auto mode.
5. Extracted boot.img from the stock AP file (from above screenshot) and transferred to phone for patching. Patched only the boot.img file.
6. After patching flashed the patched boot only (renamed and converted to TAR using 7zip) as "boot.tar" file in AP using ODIN - flashed it along with CP/BL/CSC files as from the above image.
a. This was the mistake point as the instructions were to transfer the whole AP file to the phone - get it patched inside the phone and then flash the whole AP file along with others. Somehow I totally missed it.​​7. Restarted the phone and the phone went in a bootloop or a stuck state of being only on the black Samsung Logo screen.
8. The recovery and download mode is available by using the button combinations.
====================
My attempts to restore
1. I first booted in TWRP recovery and restored from the stock backup I had taken - hoping that it would fix everything back to normal. The restoration was completed successfully - however there is no success to go beyond logo screen.
2. Went into download mode - using ODIN, flashed all the files from above screenshot (point no.4) - the flashing is completed successfully however there problem remains.
Not sure what can I do now to be able to get back a working phone.
Can someone please share a solution to a similar situation where the Magisk installation has rendered a phone bricked.
Thanks.

Was able to find excellent online phone restoration and recovery expert help and guidance - hence I was able to recover the phone.
It is now downgraded to Android 8, have lost the original serial number in he process - which is unrecoverable, however still got a working phone.
Thread closed.
