I have a bricked S7 edge with data I need to recover - the factory software update failed.
I can get to download mode and recovery mode (wipe cache etc.) but the phone will not boot.
My first thought was to root and install TWRP so I could access the phones storage over USB, but I dont have the OEM unlock option enabled.
Do I have any other options?
I think the only solution is flash with odin
Flash it with odin
But....
When flashing choose CSC
not home csc
Are you sure I should flash CSC? doesnt that wipe all the data?
Home_CSC: Flash the firmware without wiping the data (if you just want to update the ROM)
CSC: Flash the firmware along with a complete wipe including data (mostly used in cases like bricked phones or Go-Back-To-Stock situations)
I tried to flash Home_CSC but it still wont boot.
It rebooted and "Installing System Update"
then "no command" with yellow exclamation mark.
Is it possible to enable OEM unlock from ADB? Or any other way without booting?
If I can flash TWRP I can download pictures etc. over USB. Then perform a full factory reset.

I tried that before but it doesn't work for me. my problem is after flashing, the phone is not able to initialize and boot. it keeps restarting, whether I flash only AP or all 4 of them, it passes and flashes successfully but then gets into endless rebooting....
Uhm if you have Twrp installed it actually activates MTP while inside it, so you can just grab your files from your computer
Edit : oh so you don't have twrp yet, sorry nvm im drunk

Download the latest firmware from sammobile for your model and put all files in odin. Use home csc if you don't want to wipe date. Should work without any probs.
Someone tell me how to install twrp with or without unlocking the bootloader :crying::crying:
My phone won't stop restarting even after flashing frimware and I can't enable OEM option
I need to flash no verity opt encrypt with twrp to fix this :crying:

My tablet is stuck on a black screen when I turn it on that says "Power Upload Reasonower Key" and below that "H/W Revision : 0.3". If I plug it into my computer, "RUN RDX TOOL" shows up on the black screen. A wipe with twrp did this. Is my tablet dead? Is there anyway to fix this?

First why were you wiping? Were you trying to flash a rom, and if so what happened when you tried? Or did you wipe and then immediately try to reboot for some reason (if so why)? Are you still able to boot into twrp?
Are you in Canada or the U.S.? If U.S. here is your tablet's stock firmware image Odin file. Instructions on how to use Odin to reset your tablet completely back to factory stock condition can be found here. Be warned when using Odin to return to stock, any files, media, data, etc. will most likely be erased, irretrievably so unless you've already made a backup.

Yes, I was wiping to try and install a rom. It wouldn't let me install after I wiped. It kept saying failed to mount on every drive. So I turned it off thinking it would help somehow. I'm pretty new to this stuff. I used Odin to restore it back to stock firmware but it's still at the same "Run RDX Tool" screen. Before I tried the restore stock firmware I installed two different custom roms to see if they would help any. They both worked when I clicked reboot now after installing them in TWRP but they took a long time to load and if I turned my tablet off it would go right back to the "Run RDX Tool" screen and I'd have to install the custom rom again.
Somebody found meanwhile RAMDUMP Tool?
I am searching for:
RDX_5.7_TEST_3.exe
(RDX_5.7_TEST_3.zip)
Found via Google, but not able to download...
Please share. :angel:

Ayuda con mi tablet 4 Sm-t230 nu dice run rdx tool
Hey, I have the same problem with my tablet 4 Sm-t230. I want to know if you can fix it?
2 days ago i flashed twrp on my pure stock note 4, i did backup my rom including EFS using twrp and then flash kyubi rom with nameless kernel, it all went well. just now i wipe data ,system, cache on twrp and restore my backup stock rom and it went well too...and then i try to flash stock rom using odin so i can get back the stock recovery mode for OTA update when MM releases.. the flashing was a sucess and phone booted but my data inside werent wipe.
so i went to recovery mode and saw this dm-verity verification failed on the bottom i proceed to wipe data and reboot my phone, its all working now no problems except i cant reset my phone with the setting inside it will just bring me to recovey mode and stay there with that message.
now i did some research, some saying will bootloop and stuffs but mine is all ok no problem except i cant reset it inside the settings..
anyone can help me get rid of that message/problem?
If you format everything in advance format in twrp and then flash stock firmware this message will go away.
got the same problem. Then I went to a local store. They helped me. Here are steps
1. Pull out your battery, check your serial number (S/N:....)
2. Download smart switch, enter emergency software recovery..... Enter your serial number
3. Turn off your phone. Enter download mode or sth ( I don't remember it clearly. just power + vol down or up. just try it)
4. Smart switch will recognize your phone. Choose a firmware to download. then wait
5. Enjoy stock firmware
Use kies3 reinstall drivers, then use emergency recovery in kies to reinstall your current firmware or opt to update to latest or most recent release or version then follow kies instructions
rooted s5 smg900r4
Hello everyone
I have found a way to fix dm-verity and DRK issues and it works like official, meaning no errors in stock recovery and OTA works with Official firmware, the problem is related to corrupted/deleted 3 files on /efs partition. I have tested it on SM-N910C so I guess it works on other Exynos variants, perhaps even on snapdragon if the partition layout is similar? Kies won't restore DRK or dm-verity check because it doesn't write to EFS. I can fix yours if someone is interested via Team Viewer, you will need the following:
1. PM contact me for Skype ID
2. Stock rom, rooted (any root method)
3. Adb debugging enabled and drivers installed (Kies or SmartSwitch)
After repair you can enter your stock recovery and confirm there is no DRK/dm-verity red letters error.
Regards,
magix01
please guide us the proceedure here .. i have a phone with same problem & i have to update it to MM ...

Mine still says fail. but it also says "need to check drk first" could anyone possibly help me im stuck.the phone loads up and everything. but when i try to root or anything or flash any other firmware than n910pvpu5dqi5 it fails about 4 seconds in to flashing on odin. ive downloaded every possible firmware specific to the SM-N910P but only one worked.
im a big noob with the note 4 this is my first luckily its not my daily phone yet. im very familiar with the note 3 n900t but im finding they are very different. any advice would be appreciated!

If you just unlocked your bootloader and thats it, your rom should still be the stock one.
Hi, I have a J500FN stuck in bootloop, in recovery mode there's the message "dm-verification failed" and when I try to flash TWRP via odin , I get a "FRP lock". I can flash the stock firmware to revive the device AFAIK, but I really need to backup the data (pictures & contacts that aren't backed up in cloud).
All this hell is caused by a Mobile go backup that my friend tried to do, the app rebooted the device initially, then started to bootloop. Any solution to backup or restoring to normal the device without wiping data? I just really need a way to boot up the device and backup the data, so I don't really need the device to work flawlessly (maybe a dirty flash?).

Nice. Same on my end
Enable OEM unlock in developer options in stock rom before flashing custom recovery.
Disable F.reset time in odin and using 7-zip rename odin md5 file to have extension .tar . Open it and remove userdata from it. Then flash package using odin. That's how i revived my s3 a year ago. Now i own a nexus, so it is as simple as dirty flashing fsctory image piece
You just need to flash the stock firmware, your personal data will remain intact.
Once booted enable OEM unlock in developer settings then flash twrp.

Samsung Galaxy A5 2016
Guys, a major problem here. So i cant turn on my phone..
Its stuck on boot screen with the following message "Custom Binary blocked by FRP Lock"
Can't boot to twrp custom recovery (power+home+volup)
------
The only thing it can do is boot in to Odin downloader (power+home+voldown)
So i have already searched for a solution but all of those require a computer and a total hard reset of my phone. Which i don't want to. Because i don't want to lose all of my apps etc.
Is there a way i can bypass this frp lock? Without any major reset?

Just an update for future users passing by.
So basically everything went ok. Even better then ok!
I used Odin to flash a ROM which i found on Updato.. Used the PHN ROM version.
And surprisingly it didn't erase anything of my phone. It just gave it an update. Everything is the same again, data is intact, apps are still there. But with some updated apps from Samsung itself. I guess they included some security patches too.
Previously my phone wouldn't be able receive OTA updates, because it would say. You phone is modified/rooted or something like that.
Seems to me that flashing, updated everything without losing anything.
Good, couldn't be happier. Thanks again!.
Hi,
my S8 is stuck on SAMSUNG GALAXY S8 , POWERED BY ANDROID screen.
I tried flash G950FXXU5DSFB and COMBINATION_FA70_G950FXXU5ASF1 , but no success.
Later I tried flash stock fw with DREAMLTE_EUR_OPEN_OMR30M.pit, DREAMLTE_EUR_OPEN_HIDDEN45M.pit, DREAMLTE_EUR_OPEN_HIDDEN200M.pit
But no fix.
Odin always shows Success, but phone can not enter recovery and can not wipe cache/factory reset.
The only I can enter is download mode and flash again.
I am thinking, that recovery part of eMMC chip can be damaged.
Is it possible to edit .pit file to move everything somewhere further and fix this problem?
Or do somebuddy have any other idea how to fix this problem?
Thx.

Really nothing ???

It's probably of your bootloader, just update it to the latest, update it correctly.
