Bricked phone - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hey XDA Community,
So recently i was formatting my phone through TWRP, using exFAT, but the command kept continuing for an hour, and it wouldn't stopped so I force turned off my s7 edge. And then it came up with some problems. Firstly: My phone when I started it kept stuck on the twrp logo, and kept getting really hot. After a day of trying and hoping that it would work again, the screen changed. Instead of the TWRP logo, I got the error message: An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC Software. So I tried, and the drivers didn't work but after two hours of trying I finally got it to work. And I had another problem when I tried to use the emergency recovery function, I don't have the serial number anymore. Is there anything you suggest doing me? Already thanks.

[Q] AT&T Galaxy S4 will not boot into recovery! Help!

I attempted to flash a new modem into the Omega 7 ROM through Mobile Odin so that I could get working mobile data.
The flash was successful, and the phone rebooted.
However, upon rebooting I was welcomed with the "System software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone."
ODIN will not work. The process to reflash fails at "apnhlos" mark. I have no idea what this means.
Can anyone PLEASE help me?
UPDATE: Problem has been fixed. I was able to reboot into Download Mode, plug in to Kies on my PC, and reinstall the official AT&T update. This did unroot my phone, but putting it all back was not a problem.
My advice to those using locked bootloader phones (AT&T and Verizon) is to make sure a project can actually be done on your phone.

Download Kies for your PC, boot into download mode, and reinstall the Official Firmware. It'll unroot your phone and set you back to ground zero, but the phone will safely boot and you can restart from there.

So i was rooting my phone with TMWP then my phone was encrypted so i used Odin with an original AP of my samsung device
in the progress of doing that i canceled the progress.

Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch Pc software. so i did that but now i am at this step, telling me to put the phone in recovery mode but when i try to do that it keeps giving me the same error (An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch Pc software.)

Probably the phone is not detected?
Sent from my SM-G925F
How are you getting to recovery mode?
Should be Vol Down + Home + Power all at the same time
Are you able to power off your device?
If not, press and hold Power + Vol Down until it vibrates or you see it turn completely off, then hold Home (while still holding Power and Vol Down).
Give that a shot to get to recovery.
I had this problem when i tried messing around with TMWP. I dont belive there is one for the S7 egde US models to my knowledge or at least not for att currently due to the us and international models having a different processors International having a Exynos 8890 and US models having a Snapdragon 820. Im pretty sure because of those having different processors TMWP needs to have a build for both processors to my knowledge fix me if im wrong.
Heres what i posted on another thread about trying to flash your phone back to stock and it not working.
Post:
So I would suggest going to this post here and downloading the ODIN 3.12
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711451
I was trying to unroot for a clean root and this one worked for me the one made by PrinceComsy did not work for the flashing the stock ROM but it did work for flashing the ENG Boot ROM. I used 3 out of the 4 file to flash the stock rom I didn't select the BL file at all but you can if you want.
If this help you or you need further/help assistance please feel free to reply to this post

I had the same problem. It is a screen that says something along the lines of 'Update failed' or 'an error occurred during update'. It turned out for me that that actually was recovery mode just with the error screen. Plugging it into Kies on that screen allowed the emergency firmware to work and fix my phone.

My S8 (G950U) is stuck in a bootloop and cannot access download mode

Hi i tried rooting my device a few days ago with odin and it failed. When i tried to reboot it got stuck on the sprint logo. I tried reflashing the stock firmware and now when i try to access download mode it says "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software." I figured it would be an easy fix but the smart switch app on my pc said my device is unsupported. Odin still knows when my phone is connected but Im second guessing my abilities to do this on my own so any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Samsung Galaxy Tab A(10.1 2019) SM-T510 soft-brick

Hey guys,
im sorry if the topic doesnt fit here. I am new and not a techi. My Son just tried to flash some custom ROM on our Samsung Tab A and somehow bricked it. It is not possible for me to get into Recovery or Download Mode i have already tried all Button-Combinations. It just shows an error saying "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software."
I have already tried with draining the Baterry empty (described in forum thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1478361) and plug it in to get the Charging symbol. But it doesnt happen. It just shows only the Error..
So i really dont have any more ideas how to get into recovery/download mode.. Is there anything i didnt tried??
It seems like the download-mode is not available. Is there a way to "install" a new one??
edit: it seems like this IS the download-mode.. anyways i think i just need the stock firmware for this model T510NZKDDBT. I cant find it via duckduck/google..
Maybe someone can help me with it?
Thank you

I know I'm a year late, and you've either figured this out or moved on, but maybe I can clear this up for anyone else in the same situation.
I stuffed up and got the same message - "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software."
That error message screen is basically the download screen. Windows (and the Smart Switch software) won't connect to the tablet while that screen is displayed, but Odin will.
You can bring up Odin and re-flash the stock software (or whatever you need) while that message is displayed. If you still have trouble, holding power and down-volume will re-initialise the download screen, though it will still display the same "emergency recovery function" error message.
I hope that's enough of a description to get people out of trouble!
