Hello,
I create a new thread because all "hard/soft bricked" topic are not the same as me.
I explain, my sister give me a galaxy S4 (i9505 variant) who has fell into the water, the eMMC seems corrupted.
The phone has "boot order" problem:
- If i try to boot normaly (just pressing power button), the phone boot in recovery mode
- If i try to boot while pressing vol down + home + power, the phone boot in "normal mode" (android seem not damaged)
- If i try to boot while pressing vol up + home + power, i show the "samsung galaxy s4" splash screen and the phone reboot in recovery mode
The only way for me to start in download mode is to boot android (using vol down + home + power) and using ADB with "adb reboot download".
I've tryed to flash pit, rom (who is stock rom i9505XXUHOF2) and trying "bootloader update" option of odin, nothing change, the "boot order" is always wrong !
I'm not sure, so i think it's Qualcomm firmware who manage the "boot order", if yes, how can i redefine it?
If no, do you have some informations/solution that can help me to have the phone working "normaly"?
Thank you in advance for your reply.

Try this: uncheck everything in Odin except f.reset time, flash stock rom, remove USB cable from the phone, remove battery, wait 5 seconds, replace battery, boot into recovery, perform factory wipe, remove battery, try to get into download mode again.
Do the volume buttons work when the phone has booted into android?
Hi audit13,
Thx for your reply
I've tryed what you suggest so boot order is always wrong.
Volume buttons work fine (i need them to boot android).
The problem isn't to get the download mode, so key combinaison to boot method, before phone feel water, keys combinaison was:
power button => boot android
vol down + home + power => download mode
vol up + home + power => recovery mode
And after feel the water:
Power button => recovery mode
Vol down + home + power => android boot
Vol down + vol up => download mode
If it can help, while phone is shutdown and charging, the phone vibrate every 3 seconds and didn't charge, if i just press vol+ and vol- keys during 2~3 seconds, the battery logo appear and the phone start to charge. A second thing i've see, when i'm on android, if i use the "reboot" function, the phone reboot in recovery mode.
It seem that the bootloader didn't boot on the good partition.
I've see an option in odin v3.10.7 called "auto start" and can take value from 1 to 8 (or nothing), do you think this can be a setting that allow user to define the partition number used to start?

Before flashing check in option Auto-reboot and UNtick that checkbox.Start flashing,when it will say Complete disconnect data cable,press Vol- and power button and Home until the display will go dark.At this moment move your finger from Vol- to Vol+ with pressed Home and Power.After that you will see your custom recovery.This should be done only once.

hello
i'm new here at the forum.
i have a problem with the superman rom
i rooted my phone i installed the rom but now my phone is already 30 minutes on a red screen ( from the superman rom i think )
i cant go anymore to the recovery by using volume up home and power buttom.
what can i do? help please i need my phone :crying:
able to reboot the phone by keep pressing the power button?
if can.. 1st times reboot immediately pressing volume up, home and power button and it will reboot again.. A 2nd times reboot release the power button only.
Red screen = wrong kernel flashed (you flashed s7 flat kernel on s7 edge)(There's an option to select kernel during installation. You probably selected wrong option or didn't check it)
This can be solved easily by flashing the right kernel.
Everything but display should still work normally, so you should be able to enter recovery by holding power+home+volume up when the phone is off or before the s7 logo come up.
If you still cannot enter recovery mode. You can enter download mode by holding power+home+volume down and flash stock firmware with it and start over. But for this problem, you probably not need to do this.

Hey mate,
like NonXtreme said, it looks like you installed the wrong kernel, so just reboot your device by pressing Power + Home + Vol Down, and when the device shut down press directly Power + Home + Vol Up, now you should get into the recovery.
Now you have to reinstall the Rom with the correct Kernel! (g935f maybe).
Let me know if there are further questions.
Can I get some help? I bricked my phone because I was trying to install twrp. It flashed but I got an error where it reset my data, after data reset I was stuck at the boot screen with the logo
. I've tried steps like flashing stock rom, odin fails. (I feel like because of the reset my OEM got locked again)
I've tried smartswitch/kies, software downloaded but the phone automatically restarts when the software starts installing. It doesn't even detect my S8
I'm stuck at the bootlogo where it says Galaxy S8, I can't access recovery mode and also I checked on download mode, it says my OEM is LOCKED. I'm using the Samsung Galaxy S8 G950FD.
please please help.
it happened for me with s6 edge forget to unlock oem and flash custom recovery but solve it by kies only
u need to install last Samsung drivers and last kies put ur device on download mode and put ur model on kies manually and let kies take the lead
it will work

Try this !
Prepare ODIN with the files CL + BL.
This worked for me this wait, my phone was like yours...
I Cannot turn phone off too.
There's a trick...
All the time you enter in Download mode, and hit Start in Odin, the Odin says "FAIL" and the phone automatic reboot.
The trick is..
When in "Download mode" Start and at the same time press and hold "Vol Down + Bixby + Power".
Odin says FAIL and it will restart the phone automatic.
Press faster and hold "Vol Down + Bixby + Power" to go again to "Download mode".
Press Start in Odin and be prepared to press and hold at the same time "Vol UP + Bixby + Power".
Odin will start to transfer the files... and after that the phone reboot again faster, just press and hold one more time and faster "Vol UP + Bixby + Power".
TWRP will start !
Hope it helps
Okay this one worked. It flashed. Great. But now IT STILL DOESNT BOOT. I'm stuck at NO COMMAND, it keeps restarting after 2 second of showing no command. and it's looping all over.
Note: I've tried reflashing the ROM again. It now fails, and the trick doesnt work, I've tried booting to recovery mode when its on NO command screen. It just restarts. Doesnt boot.
Having a hard time getting into download mode also. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesnt. It just keep restarting.

Part 1 - HOW-TO FLASH TWRP:
1. In your ROM, go to Settings -> About device. Tap 7 times on Build number to enable Developer options.
2. Go to Settings -> Developer options and enable OEM Unlock option.
3. Download and Install Samsung Mobile Phones Drivers.
- Option 1: Download and Install Smart Switch for PC.
- Option 2: Download and Install standalone driver package.
4. Download and extract Odin (Samsung's Flash Tool) to your computer.
5. Download a .tar image of TWRP.
6. Reboot your device to download mode.
- Hold [VOLUME DOWN] + [BIXBY] + [POWER] for approx. 15 seconds.
- Read the warning carefully.
- If you agree, press [VOLUME UP] to get into Download mode. If you don't agree, STOP.
7. Open Odin and place that TWRP tar file in the [AP] slot.
8. Connect your phone.
9. Hold [VOLUME UP] + [BIXBY] + [POWER] on your phone and then press start on Odin.
10. Wait for the phone to reboot. DO NOT release [VOLUME UP] + [BIXBY] + [POWER] or you may not reboot into TWRP.
TWRP: TWRP 3.1.1
* Exclude all with red and try the rest.

Thanks for your precious reply and sorry for not updating my previous reply.
Its done. Installed TWRP successfully!!!!!
Anyways thanks for your help!!!!!!!
I guess I have to join the club. I tried to flash the new Oreo beta and surprisingly I succeeded but I made a mistake of playing around with it's arrow pattern settings designed for older people. End result, couldn't remember what sort of combination of arrows I chose. It surprised me that I couldn't use my fingerprint to get out of the arrows, it's basically a pin or a pattern so I should be able to skip it with a fingerprint.
I've been trying two days now, got beyond the arrows problem. Initially I had the original recovery but in my great wisdom replaced it with TWRP so bye bye warranty, but I trusted I could handle it so that I could get back to Oreo but no such luck. Every time I manage to boot it says my data is corrupted and I can't use it. Tried flashing all kinds of Oreos and not Oreos but no luck so far. I even tried a trick #47 to format the data folder and then reflash it with the same stuff. No luck, I've restored backups and made new ones and I suppose it's time to say I don't know what to do. I got a bunch of APKs but I can't get far enough to use them.
My next operation is got back to nougat, but somehow I doubt it will get me through this so any ideas? If there was a way to make the phone like it was when I bought it - then I could make my mistakes all over again, I'm too stubborn to learn anything ever, besides, I'm almost forty and you can't teach old dog new tricks.
I don't have official access to Oreo, just tried flashing whatever I could find on xda mostly. Any and every idea is appreciated. has anyone invented a time machine yet?

Hey there sender, thank you for posting this as it did seem to help me a lot. I was having troubles getting to that menu and it seemed to be how you say it "bricked" as well in no clue how to resolve that. I had searched up almost two hours with no luck and doing other several other options in gaining to resolve it, nothing helped.
Looking at this guide this was something that seemed to only help and thought it was worth a shot after doing over several.. thinking in finally giving up and going ahead with a new device, but my luck.. it worked!
Again thanks for the guide, hope you well and to this community.
Thanks a lot
My phone is working now
Thank you so much!!!
Same problem, but odin stuck and it says "set partition" in the box on the right top..
thanks in advance

Hi I am having this same issue. I tried what you wrote about but I am a little confused. When you say prepare Odin with CL and BL files, what is the CL file? I only have an AP, BL, CP and CSC file but no CL file. Also when you say "Press faster" what does that mean? Not sure when and what to press faster.

Hi all! I have the same problem with mo s8 plus, when I try to flash the stock with odin, it does not start and I do not command. 5 seconds and the samgung logo and again No command.

But still I do not return stock Any advice?

Is it possible you still have those files? I know it's been so long, but my phone is stuck in download mode or does nothing at the update screen.. If it helps, I totally forgot to turn on USB debugging before the last time my device saw life.
Hey guys.
Can you help me?
My S8 suddenly died and i made a lot of procedures to flash The stock rom.
Now, it stucks on boot loader screen (Samsung s8 powered by Android screen). Sometimes it tries to go to Blue screen and install something but stucks too... Never pass from this screen...
What Can i do to solve this problem?
Thanks!
greetings, after processing the twrp file in odin, when I want to open the twrp menu of the device, first the system update is installed, then it says there is no command and then the old recovery menu comes, any idea? (device samsung galaxy j5 J510fQ)
Uncleck 'auto reboot ' in Odin options.
When Odin shows "PASS", take your device in hands, disconnect the usb cable and press simultaneously the "Home" + "Vol. Down" + "Power" buttons until the downoad mode disappears
At the precise moment the screen becomes black, immediately release the "Vol.Down" button and press the "Home" + "Vol. UP" + "Power" buttons during 10 to 15sec to forcefully enter TWRP.
