S7 edge bootloader exception? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Dug this old phone out of a drawer to see if I could try to fix it, I had abandoned it a while ago since I just couldn't figure it out. I'm getting a bootloader exception when I try to turn on the phone [RST_STAT = 0x10000000]. No Samsung logo. I can't boot into recovery or download mode at all. It's an exynos model 935W8. I'm going to try to make a USB jig, but if anyone else has any ideas as to why this is happening please tell me. Thanks in advance!

Being on that screen, press the home button quickly 3 times and wait 2 seconds, do it (it worked for me the third time) until the mobile restarts itself and you will see an android icon in the center of the screen , then you can manually restart in download mode. It worked for me in G935F. If it helps, let me know. Luck. PS: I'm sorry for my bad English.

Sorry, but could you be a little more clear? Wait 2 seconds and do what?

For anyone searching and getting frustrated:
I botched some flashing and got the bootloader exception 0x100000 and 0x200000 (with some amount of zeroes, don't remember). I long pressed the home button when it showed the exception and there appeared an android icon saying forced uploading something something. After that I got the phone back in download mode by holding volume down, home, and power. I immediately flashed a combination file (search, but make sure you get the right one for your phone) and it booted back into the engineering ROM. Your phone is not definitely unsaveable! Keep trying new things.
Now I have to figure out how to remove the FRP-lock, but that's for another thread...

help i9000 after flash, doing loop of at&t logo, can not enter download mode,

!! if anyone can help please do not hesitate, mostly appreciated.
Try to hold the Down+Menu+Power combination while INSERTING the battery into the device.
i try that seem to have no response and when unplugged from usb it loop at&t logo
or plugged in usb screen goes black and no response seem from pressing buttons
I had a similar problem as most phones in Canada seem to have Download/Recovery mode disabled, and here is what worked for me.
Grab something like One Click Un Root (all models), and click one click un root (obviously phone has to be on and plugged into the computer).
This should automatically reboot you into Recovery Mode!
All you have to do is "wipe data/factory default" or something like that (should be the third option).
As it states, you will loose all your data, but at least you will have a functionning phone!
did it work?
Hi. I have similar problem. Can anybody give instruction what can I do?
I have this problem too. Please help somebody
Add me to the list. Bell Galaxy S, went to unlock my phone the screen went black. Now it will not boot into the OS, the galaxy S splash screen displays then nothing. The menu and back button light up, thats all. ****[email protected]@
I have not rooted or anything.
Of course my download mode does not work.. Going to try this one click root thing if I can find it.
NOT HAPPY
This is not working. Probably because the phone is not in USB debugging mode as I can't change it... Is there any other way to get the phone into recovery mode?
**** me
i had the same thing happen to me the other day with my bell galaxy s and my phone wont do the 3 button combo trick. i left my phone plugged in to a wall charger for a while until the back of the phone became a little warm. i pulled the battery and then left the power cord plugged in and put the battery back in. i held the volume down and enter button until the battery charging indicator showed up, then i also pressed and held the power button until the boot animation started (this is the blue moving swirl and music, not the galaxy s splash scree) and then i let go of the power button. it took a few attempts at this before it actually worked, but eventually it will go into download mode at which time you can open the odin app, then plug in the usb cable and flash your phone that way. it did seem to make a difference if the back of the phone (around the camera area) was warm. if i let go of the power button while the music was playing and the phone did not enter download mode i would keep all 3 buttons pressed until it shut down again, then i would only let go of the power button while the phone initiated the charging screen, then once the battery logo was displayed i would hold the 3 buttons again and would just keep doing this until it went into download mode. i have flashed it at least 5 times today and i have been able to do this each time.
i also had an issue where odin would not recognize my phone was plugged in and windows would show a message saying the usb device was not recognized. i left the phone plugged in and while in download mode i pressed the volume up, enter button and power button until the phone went blank and when the galaxy s logo showed up i let go of the power button and the phone would go into recovery mode and then the usb drivers would be installed. i would then do the 3 button combo for download mode and odin would work fine. it took several attempts but it does work. i hope this helps you guys
If I hold all three buttons the splash screen does not come on, it just keeps looping the Galaxy S logo until I let go of the power button....

That's what mine did too, several times in a row and then it worked. For some reason it only works after the battery is charging for a bit and the back becomes warm. then it works at will
No luck. I am probably screwed getting it exchanged now too as I am passed the 14 days from Best Buy.
the on click thing doesn't work, if your phone is already bricked.
also it is not the phone's fault for not working, the phone was working properly before you tried the hacks.
whenever you do these kind of things you know you are entering into the "not supported" "not covered by warranty" zone.
in the worse case scenario, if you can no enter download mode to recover your phone, it'll be to take the phone back to bell and claim warranty on it, and prentent you don't know what happened to it.

Its my fault??
I did not hack my phone. Its not rooted, I did nothing to it.
By "unlock" I meant exactly that, unlock as in swiping the screen to unlock it.
The more I search the net the more posts I find of Galaxy S phones randomly bricking...
on the original message sounded more like you went to Unlock the phone, as in SIM unlock the phone using any of the tools available out there, and there has been already several people which had the same problem.
if you go back to Bell for an exchange, you better not use the word "unlock" rather use Swipe
as the message on the phone "swipe the screen to unlock"
there are no known issue about this causing the phone to brick.
if that is what happened to you, you should have started a new topic for people to help you, instead of hijacking the topic from the OP, as your issue is different from OP, the OP actually screwed up because he/she flashed the wrong ROM to the i9000
... anyways, Does it work if you reboot the phone?
I have rebooted the phone about 100 times. The phone crashed when I unlocked it to check a text I received. (not hacked). Has not booted up properly since. I have found many others with the same issue who have also not hacked/rooted/unlocked/ their phones.
Waiting on Best Buy to call me back. I am so pissed right now, I have been bragging to my friends and co-workers how awesome this phone is, one has already picked one up, I hope his doesn't brick too. Not recommending it to anyone anymore..
did you load a lot of MP3 to the phone?
can you boot into Recovery Mode?
in the recovery mode you can wipe the Cache and wipe the data
that should make your phone work normal again
it'll be best to open a topic to help you trouble shoot your interesting issue, as it's the first i've hear that you get a black screen after Swiping out of the lock screen
I can't get into recovery mode. I have tried every button combination I have found. I had about 2 GB of music on the phone. I also installed the Android SDK to try ADB, but since the phone is not in USB debugging mode it does not see it.

on the other topics relating to the 3 button not working.
have you tried the heating up method?
or the plugging the battery in, when all 3 buttons are pressed? (of course for this one you will need help from a friend, unless you are very skilled at keeping the 3 button on hold meanwhile able to slide in the battery in with out a 3rd hand)

3-Button disabled idea.

Ok, My phone's internal SD decided to quit on me a couple of days ago, so I'm sending it back to Bell/Samsung for service. However, when I was speaking with the bell tech, he asked me to put the phone into recovery mode by doing the following with the phone off.
Hold Vol Up, Home and Press the Power Button.
When the Samsung GT-I9000M logo appears, let go of both Home and Power. (Keep holding Vol Up)
Now, I did happen to have one with 3 button modes enabled. But I tested it anyway and it worked.
Hopefully it's worth a shot if someone could try this with 3 button disabled.
Tried and no go for me (i9000m)
Didn't work for me neither..
Any Idea why the 3 buttons are disabled yet?
Wanna try the same thing, only keep holding power and vol up. Let go of the home button when the logo pops
If I Hold Vol Up, Home and Press the Power Button, I go into FORCED UPLOAD by KEY PRESSING mode, not recovery mode... what is this mode for and how can I get recovery mode? So my buttons arn't disabled, they just go into this mode. I am on JM1. Is this going to cause me problems if I have a bad flash? I have seen elsewhere that this FORCE UPLOAD mode should be accesed by vol down home and power
don't work
the 3 button combination you mentioned is the normal method to go into Recovery Mode, there is no secret there
for a moment i though it was a new combo

The normal way of doing it was to release ONLY the power button. He asked me to release the home button and not the power button. Hence me asking someone without the mode to try it. Nothing more. My phone is working and goes in every time, so I had no way to know. I apologize for wasting your time.
Ok, well i'm glad this thread is started, i was about to do it before i noticed this one!
Right well, i've spoken with an engineer yesterday at a Samsung service centre near me - and he said that the 3-button recovery/download modes has to work, as this is what they use themselves in order to flash customer handsets with their own flashing equipment. So basically, he said if the 3-button modes don't work, it's a fault, and they would send the phone back to Samsung! He did in fact add that he hasn't come across this problem himself as yet. However, he went on to say he's not sure if you could get the handset swapped out purely to access the recovery/download, as customers are not meant to be using this feature!
(By the way the method given by OP didn't work for me, and i've tried quite a few!)
Recovery and download mode work on sasktel i9000m's
hi there, i'll be getting my Galaxy S later on today, just want to ask a noob question here, if the 3 button was disabled and i tried it with the combos, what will happened to my phone? will it brick and i have to send it back to repair? or i can unbrick it myself?
thanks,
Kiay
Nothing. It'll just start up normally and wont go into download- or restoremode.

ah.... thanks for the quick reply, but how come people are saying that they bricked their phone and need to send it for replacement or so?
kiay reason why people have their phone bricked is because when your phone doesnt have the 3button enabled and you try to flash your phone to another FW and it stuffs up during that time you will get a PC->!->phone pic on your screen which means it wont respond to any button presses unless you put the phone in recovery/download modes ... obviously if you dont have the 3button to be able to put them in its respective modes you will have no choice but to send it in for either a fix or replacement
hope that makes sense... thats why phones with 3button disabled will have to return their phone to get fixed where as phones with 3button active it will be hard to brick a phone

Because something happened to their phone (via firmware upgrade, changing system files, or other things) and most of the time to restore these easy fixes, we need Recovery/Download mode and it's disabled on a lot of Galaxy S's.
can some one try these buttons?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8130971&postcount=31
when i do it on my phone all it does is bring up task manager and volume max
still disable
So, is there an alternative if the combo is not working on the phone?
coz, as i read in the earlier posts, end users are not supposed to know this...and the dealer might refuse to take the handset back for this "fault"...

When that happens, release both buttons and immediately press them and hold. That's what my Tab has begun to do.
Hold the power and volume. Once you see the icons flash on the screen release and quickly hold them down again. You should then be presented with the recovery and downloading icons again.
i will give it a go.. i have held down both buttons and cycled throught like three times.. i will try with the release and re-press..
follow up.. it worked thank you

I was starting to think I was getting slow in my old age. Thank you so much. The release and hold again method worked great.

[Black Screen] S3 neo, READ and suggestions are welcome.

Hello everyone,
I have an S3 neo, it's 6 months old. About 2 months ago i started checking in this forums, and then i flashed cm12, and started adding custom roms to my phone. Everything was well, phone was working fine, and so on.
One morning i woke up and my phone went off, and when i turn it on, it's black screen. I restarted few times, took out memory card, and poof it worked. Was all good.
I left it like that and next morning it happened again. And since then i tried all the ways, like take out battery, hold power button 1 min then try to turn it on after few minutes, and so on. Nothing worked. Pulling out memmory card or sim card didn't work either. It's like this for almost 2 weeks i can't use the phone.
I cant get in download mode or custom recovery i i don't know why it won't react on that. It turns on each time like normally, led notifiaction works, the lights on home and back button works, only screen is black. I can unlock it, and such things but cant see anything.
I even succesfully did a factory reset over play store from pc, but that didn't help either..
Biggest problem is that its under warranty but since custom rom i can't take it to service unless i have money to pay... which i dont
I have NEVER DROPPED it, it was never in water, and so on. Doesn't have a scratch at all.
It even has sound, and everything. Just freaking black screen ....
So what i am asking is if anyone here knows how to remove custom rom and custom recovery over pc,is it possible, without the screen? Any way to do it so i can get warranty back ? All i need is a freaking stock rom and stock recovery and a binary reset i guess. Just freaking would need screen to work for 5 mins eh....
If anyone has any ideas please post them, thanks..

I think you can boot to download mode or revovery. The LED notifi and backlight buttons won't turn on if you boot to download mode or recovery.
Just try to boot to...
1. download mode. Just press and hold for 2-3 seconds power + home + volume down
2. then wait 3 seconds. After that press volume up.
3. Connect your phone to pc, open odin and check if a device is connected.
4. If a device was found by odin - flash a ROM (stock or something else) and hope that this will fix the black screen problem.
Good luck!!
Hi, thanks for ur reply but... My phone turns on when i click home + volume down + power button. I hear sound, blue led notification and so on.......
But when turned on, when i connect to usb odin recognizes it, says connected, and when i try to install the rom i it takes really long and on the end i get fail..*attached the screenshot of fail) I guess because its not in download mode. Any other suggestions how i could get in download mode more?
More suggestions please?thanks
Anyone has any ideas ?
So what all i tried is
Remove battery, hold power button for 1-2 mins, let phone for few mins and turn it on. didn't work
I tried with adb,but usb debugging not on so cmd cant find my device
Only thing left i guess if someone has idea how to get in download mode in some other way or some program that doesnt reguire download mode but can flash rom and etc.
@Crazeh
Take it back to the nearest service center and act the dumb ("I don't know what is wrong with it")
I have done that many times
They are prob gonna call me and tell me to pay for fix
No one has any idea what else should i try ?
try link2sd app form play store. it has the option to boot to download mode. I think titanium backup has the feature also.
My screen is black so i can't do anything on it.....
try to disable ambient screen. report if problem persist
How should i disable ambient screen ? While i can't see anything on phone cause of black screen ?thanks for reply Rox
Anyone?

ok so i think your problem isn't due to any rom but hardware problem
power off your phone remove the back , look on the left you see a little trap , open it , now you see connector it is the one of the screen try to see if you can disconnect and reconnect it
power on your phone and see if it work :fingers-crossed:
Where is that little trap?
btw if i do this will i loose my warranty completely ?

If Odin recognizes it, it means it's in Download mode. The device has different interaction with the host over USB when it's not in Download mode.
I don't see the screenshot of the failure. It may be that something got broken in your hardware, so the flashing fails. There's a known issue with the S3 called "Sudden death syndrome", I don't know if it applies also to the S3 Neo, where some of the memory of the ROM fails suddenly. If that is the case (I'm not saying it is, but it might be), there's no fix other than replacing the hardware.
Odin doesnt go over setup connection. cant post screenshot bc im new to the site. btw im sure the phone is on but recognized in odin...

My phone Is Bricked Galaxy s8

I think thats what someone on another forum called it, they said to head over here beacause you guys know alot more. My Phone won't get past the "Samsung Galaxy S8 - Powered by Android screen"
I've tried the usual. Down and power key, Up Bixby and power. They either do nothing or keep bringing me back to that screen. I also didnt have Samsung Switch installed to try that way either.
If anyone has any idea I'd really appreciate it and hopefull ive posted in the right section of the forum.
Could you try pressing volume down+power button for aprox. 7 seconds (till the screen goes black), the phone should reboot now. (This next step can be kinda tricky, but you can just try over and over until you do it.) While the screen is still black, press either volume down+bixby+power button or volume up+bixby+power button. This should either boot you into recovery or download mode. Let us know if you can make it to this point
At work ATM, but yeah I will give this a go later when I get back, thanks for the quick reply!
