Hello,
I have a problem with my samsung galaxy s7 edge. When I try to put it on the samsung logo appears for a second or two and then I see a black screen again, there is also written 'Kernel is not seandroid enforcing' in red letters in the left corner of the screen. Nothing seems to help, I don't know a lot of these android things, but I have been looking on the internet and i have tried a lot of things. First of all I've tried a hard reset (press and hold the power, volume up and home buttons), when I do this, I get the same screen as I put it on, but now there is 'Recovery is not seandroid enforcing' in the left corner instead of 'Kelner'.
Then, when I press and hold the power, volume down and home buttons and I click continue, my phone comes in download mode. I've seen a video about about a factory reset out of download mode so I thought there was still hope. The only problem is that I cannot connect my phone with my PC neither. My PC can't recognize my phone. I've tried to use different USB cables, I've installed USB Drivers on my PC, but nothing seems to help. I've tried to use ODIN, Smart Switch and Samsung kies, but they can't find my S7 Edge. There is also an option where you can enter the buildnumber and SN thing (idk) of your phone and I've tried that to. The only thing that happens is my phone who begins to charge and a sound on my PC that says that he is connected to a device, but he can't see him.
I really don't know what I have to do now, does somebody has a solution to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance.

When did this issue start happening? Did you try to install something custom before this issue started?
If you can get into download mode, you can fix it. Try another PC with Odin. With the drivers installed and in download mode, Odin will pick it up. Once the phone is shown in Odin, flash stock.
I presume you have tried to root it or something, perhaps using a method for a different phone which explains why it won't boot. Or perhaps you have tried to flash TWRP?
.
Thanks, I'll try it with a different PC and yes I've rooted my phone to install xposed framework but this was like a year before this problem happend and I think I have unrooted my phone after.

Device- Galaxy Note 4 International (SM-N910C)
The case here is:
- The Phone doesn't boot, or show anything as the splash screen
- when you try to charge the phone (while powered off) the device doesnt show anything at all, but the phone charges as the
battery heats up a bit
- when you press the power button (and nothing else ) and leave the phone alone for about 8-10 mins, it shows the download
mode screen WITHOUT the details on the top left corner.
- removing the battery and putting it back didn't work, and when you press the download mode button combination (volume
down+power+ home), it directly starts download mode but this time WITH the details on the top left corner, the warning doesnt come.....
- When in download mode, the device IS detected by odin
- but then when i try to flash the rom thorugh odin, again the same
problem (no boot)
So far, Download mode is the only thing i've seen on the phone, and nothing else
my Guesses: the files which store the splash screens, etc are corrupted,and are not even touched during rom flashing, because when i flashed a rom through odin, the process DID finish but the problem persisted.
Suspects: param.bin file
even though these can be the root of the problem, there is no way i can actually restore the original file because adb doesnt detect the device in the pc, only odin does. Yes, i've perfectly installed all the adb/fastboot drivers.
Thanks in advance to anyone that helps fix the problem......:crying:

Can anyone try and give me a ODIN flashable file that replaces the param file in the phone???
Hey guys, I have a samsung galaxy s7 edge SM-9350. I was able to get root access and get the TWRP app. I was attempting to flash the TWRP recovery image, but I accidentally flashed the to the boot partition instead of recovery. After rebooting, I cannot boot the phone. When I hold the power/volume up button I get the option to select recovery/fastboot/normal boot modes, but no matter which one I select, the phone doesn't seem to boot. Do I have any options? I'm not sure if this qualifies as a hard or soft brick.
I have also tried to go into download mode, by holding the power/home/volume down, but that just seems to enter a boot loop. The screen illuminates, but remains black for a while, then shuts down.
The furthest I get into any sort of developer/interaction with the phone is being able to select between Recovery, Fastboot, or Normal modes.
I'm looking for the general search terms to start with. I've rooted my nexus/htc devices before and soft bricked, but was always able to get back via Fastboot/Recovery. This is the first time I've not been able to get into either. Is there some method I can use via the micro SD card maybe?

Install PC SmartSwitch app and try the Emergency firmware recovery option
If that doesn't work then you may need a Samsung Repair centre

Ugg... I had installed Smart Switch, but it doesn't recognize that my phone is plugged into the PC.
It looks like in order for it to work my phone has to be in Download mode or Recovery mode, depending on what guide I read.
And I can't get into either mode at all
Thanks for the response!

I assume Odin doesnt recognise the phone in any situations?
That's correct. My windows PC with the Samsung drivers no longer recognizes that a device is plugged in. I just tried a USB jig. Pins 4 and 5 of the microusb joined with a 300k ohm resistor and it still doesn't go into download mode.

Sadly you probably need a samsung repair centre
Please let me know how you get on with a fix
Does Odin not recognise the phone when you put it in to download mode ?? i used Kies to recover the firmware rather than smartswitch although Kies tells you to use smartswitch it still let me use it to doe the firmware recovery.
Hi all,
I have a weird problem with my Galaxy S4 (i9505) as follows:
-The screen was broken, then replaced the screen and worked for fine so I upgraded the phone to the offered 5.0.1 OS.
-It worked fine for two days, and then suddenly turned off, and kept stuck on Samsung Logo.
-It only could go to Download mode, but never to Recovery mode.
-If connected to the wall charger, it keeps vibrating and displaying the battery symbol alternatively for ever.
-I tried every all the tricks I could find on the forums such as
----Using a new battery
----Writing the official firmware 4.4.2, 5.0.1, recovery firmwares (4 files AP, BL, CS, CCS), all completed successfully.
----Tried PIT files (disparately reset NAND).
-It kept showing "Memory Booting ..." message either when starting normally or with Recovery mode.
-Installed TWRP (latest) and then it showed "RECOVERY BOOTING ...", "RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING", " Set Warranty Bit : recovery".
-Lastly installed official firmware 4.4.2 and again showing "MEMORY BOOTING ...".
Your help is tremendously appreciated.
Also, I've noticed that I can go to the download mode only by pressing (Power + Vol Down) buttons, without the need to press the Home button, does that mean that the Home button is already pressed all the time (could be a faulty screen?).
I have an s4 sgh-i337m that will also go into download modem by only pressing volume down and power. The phone does function properly and I can get into recovery without any issues.

Thanks audit13, now the possible home button issue has been eleminated.
Any other suggestions?
Have tried flashing the stock rom with Odin 3.07 as a single tar file in the pda slot and performing a factory reset before letting the phone both for the first time?
When booting to recovery, are you letting go of the power button after the phone starts to boot?
Yep, I did all possible firmwares 5.0.1, and 4.4.2 either in one file or in 4 files, also I've tried every possible combination but didn't let me into Recovery mode.
Sounds like there may be something wrong with the phone's internal memory.
Only thing I can suggest is getting the phone flashed via jtag.

Happy to do anything in this stage, any guidelines about this jtag (never used before)?.
Thanks a lot
You'll have to take it to a cell repair shop to flash it.
I'm new to rooting phones and stuff. So I tried to root my tab and followed a guide that told me to download Odin v3.11 and enable USB debugging in my tablet and I did. And as soon as I flashed twrp and tried to restart my tablet, the screen went blank. I tried opening it by holding the power its just blank. I tried plugging it in my computer and I think it recognizes the tablet because it makes the sound the computer makes when you plug a usb. But Odin won't recognize it.
Solved the problem.
Anyway as I said I want to root my phone but when going to twrp the screen is just blank. Any suggestions?
Hi all....
I've same problem too.
After try flash with Odin 3.11 and p355 firmware, after process clear, and Odin show "PASS", my phone turn off it self, and never come back again. Display just blank, so I can't go to download mode or recovery mode.
Try push power button for long time, still no respond. But if push many time home, vol down/up tab still shaking, but display just blank.
Any one here can help me how to solve my problem.
Note:
Tab is brand new, but has been lock for Prudential insurance.
Thanks.
I was going along ok until I made the fatal error of transferring the Magisk patched file to PC via MTP instead of taking the time to re-learn adb, which must have corrupted it. Thus predictably Odin hung and I am in trouble.
Where I am stuck is being unable to turn the phone off to come back in download mode to start over with stock firmware. I have been unable to find any secret button presses, and the battery doesn't seem to want to die leaving me with an $800 paperweight.
I did search around for this first and didn't find any real answers. Has anyone found an effective solution to this problem? Thanks.

If Odin recognizes you device, you can flash firmware in emergency recovery.

Thank you, but the PC won't recognize the device. What does happen is the emergency recorevy screen tries to come up. I tried starting in download mode with bixby+vol down then USB. I did get the battery low enough where I don't get the teal screen of death anymore, perhaps it is too low for USB to work? What I was hoping for was the charging animation but no luck. Surely this is just a software problem and there is a way out.

Did you try getting into recovery and perform a data factory reset and then see what happens?
Just load the stock firmware BL, Ap, cp and home csc into Odin if you see emergency teal screen. The emergency screen will start loading
Black screen ....Perhaps your battery is dead?
Thank you all for the replies. I had let the battery get low in a misguided attempt (based on advice elsewhere) to get it to shut off. I had to let it charge a while for it to wake up enough for PC to see it. Then I was able to flash in Emergency Recovery mode.
Thank you for the help.

Glad you got your device up and running ?
Maybe someone can help me. I seemed to have borked my phone. I kept getting "Google is Stopping" with no way to fix it, so I tried reflashing my firmware in odin. After I loaded all the files and hit start, I realized I didn't untick auto reboot, so I tried aborting the installation and ended up with screen (I've had it before and got out of it by still flashing in Odin, but now, if I try to reflash firmware while in this screen, it's stuck on SYSTEM in odin.
Any help appreciated!
Try this
That is where I got stuck. Are you trying to flash stock or patched firmware? I had to start over with stock as I copied the patched via MTP instead of adb and it got corrupted.
I think what I did was unplug and reset Odin. Wait for screen to turn off, then make sure it is at least 80% charged. Then Bixby + Vol Down + plug in and you will go back to this screen. Then I was able to flash stock. I had to go so far as to re-lock bootloader and flash stock again since my "OEM Unlocking" was not just greyed out but missing. Since then I've had no time to try again, but at least I have a working phone.
This is my anecdotal procedure, can't say if it is the right or best one.
Hi All,
I was trying to flash the latest firmware for my device (G9750ZCU2ASG4) and during the odin process, my computer restarted which failed the update halfway through. I rebooted the computer, tried again, and it was trying to establish a connection for a really long time, so I disconnected my phone from the USB port on my computer, and held Power and Volume Down to try and force reboot the phone. I was going to try and go back into download mode to restart the process. My phone mentioned something about needing to do an emergency recovery, but I continued to hold down the power and volume down keys and then everything went black on the phone.
I've tried multiple USB cords, all of the button commands known for the device, and have even tried to perform the emergency mode recovery on my device, but it seems like it's in some sort of locked state; What I mean is the phone is stuck on a black screen. I can't "boot" into recovery or into download mode. The phone doesn't even vibrate when I hold the power button or power and down to try and force reboot it. Odin doesn't recognize the phone when I plug it into the computer nor does the device manager on my windows computer.
Does anyone have any experience with this sort of issue or any idea of what else I can do to try and get into download mode to flash my firmware again? All help, suggestions, or comments regarding this are much appreciated.
Sounds like the battery is dead
Hi Dude, I am struggling with the same problem, read this post and it came to me, had to come back and give you the solution.
Press bixby+volume down, IMMEDIATELY after the screen goes off, hold volume up and down while connecting the USB cable super fast.
You have got like 10ms to do it
Otherwise it just goes back to the AVB FAIL screen
Ran into this issue, none of the above worked for me.
This is how I resolved:
1) Placed phone on wireless charging mat and let it boot to emergency recovery screen
2) Load TWRP into AP slot of Odin and leave the window open on your computer ready to flash
3) Connect phone to computer whilst it's on the mat and press start in Odin as soon as your device appears
It may fail a few times but if your quick you can install TWRP.
4) Now boot into recovery and let your phone charge to a reasonable level (above 20%)
5) Boot into Download mode and flash your desired rim via Odin
