Galaxy S8 SM-G950F Won't boot - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hi everyone,
Today I turned off my phone to save some battery for later.
Too bad cause it wouldn't do anything anymore.
So, no lights, no viberating nothing.
I manged to get it in download mode about 2 hours ago.
But it kept turning off so I charged it for a hour or so.
Right now it doesnt do anything, I've tried to hold the volume down + power button but also no response.
Are there any solutions to fix this? and if I do get it in download mode again should I install twrp and a custom rom if possible?
Hope someone have some good advice before I buy a new one haha
Thanks in advance!

[q] samsung galaxy s4 (i337m) rogers root fail! Possible brick!

Shoot guys I'm really sorry for multi posting but so far the answers aren't helping I promise this is my last post of this.
OK first off I going to express my deepest apologies for starting a thread with an issue that has probably been answered 100 times... My problem is that I have tried every possible phrase that I know for search term pertaining to my particular issue and I am still stuck. SO I will be as details as possible and I hope and pray that at LEAST if I get kicked for starting this and the thread being shutdown, that someone will have posted "heres the link numb nuts be more careful next time".
OK so on with my issue. I have a Rogers Samsung Galaxy S4 I337M on 4.3, I tried to use chainfire's latest cf-Autoroot to root my phone and it just failed. Here is the log:

As you can see when odin could not find the PIT I downloaded one and retried.
Anyway now I'm stuck on this:

I then thought about trying Kies. First problem, Emergency firmware did not list my device. Then I tried firmware upgrade and initialize and even though the start button wouldn't show unless I plugged the phone in as download mode, once the firmware was finished downloading and ready to flash it would give me an error saying it couldn't not detect my device.
I am not sure is this is EVERYTHING I could have tried but to MY knowledge it is. Please help
And my deepest gratitude to anyway and all who point me to the right direction. I hope I have been as detailed as I possibly can be.
CF-Auto Root
Some basic questions.... can you still get to download mode? Most importantly... did you use the Canadian file for cf auto root found here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293800 the I337 is not the same as the Canadian I337M so if you used the wrong file that would cause it to fail... does it boot at all if you try? also did you check the md5 to ensure your download was complete if you did use the right file??

[Q] Removing Root - Odin Failing.

Hello
I'm not sure if I'm doing this right so any help would be grateful. I currently have stock firmware installed and I'm trying to remove root from my phone. I searched around and it was suggested to reinstall stock firmware.
So I downloaded a stock rom from this thread, (UK_20H3G_20G900FXXU1ANE2_G900FH3G1AND4_H3G.zip - 1411.3 Mb - (because I'm on Three)) downloaded Odin, ran Odin, stuck my phone into download mode, loaded the firmware into Odin by clicking the PDA button, checked Auto Reboot and then hit start.
Here are the results;

S8 SM-G950F I can't flash it

Hello guys.
My s8 sm-g950f was brought to me by my customer whom bought d phone, d customer told me, he mistakenly hard reset his device...Now the device is Requesting for Gmail, he said he had tried the email he think he sign in on d device. now device was now stuck in Activation screen...So i taught of bypass it by flashing combination file and stock rom... so i discovered d device was running lastest update BINARY 2 ...so i download COMBINATION FILE from Z3x server with my z3x box, i downloaded the combination file named(COMBINATION_FA70_G950FXXU2ARE1)
And i also downloaded the Stock Rom i needed from UPDATO named(G950FXXU2CRED)
Now after downloading the two files i needed, i flash the combination file as usual, d device boot and work fine with combination file, then i decided to flash my stock rom back to remove the FRP(how i flash the stock rom to remove d frp was == (i was flashing with z3x) Bl; i deselect some img file. Ap ;i select and flash Boot, recovery, system.. I didnt select Cp, but CSC(i use normal csc not home csc and i selected and flash only cache).
After doing of all this my device boot normal and told my data partition was corrupted , i should reset it, i reseted and i know d frp was still there and have not been removed
Then i started flashing combination and stock rom randomly trying to bypass the frp, trying different things, selecting and deselect when flashing combination and stock rom...all of a sudden was unable to flash anything, when i flash either stock rom/combination it fails instant in INITIALIZATION...
this is an image i took when trying to flash with Z3x lasted vs 33.2

Phone started boot looping - Can I fix a VZW Galaxy S7 on latest OTA update?

I used to flash phones a lot but our carrier is VZW so our phones have been locked for years and my skills are rusty
The phone is my wife's. It's stock on:
Release date: 04/03/2020
Androidâ„¢ Security Patch Level: December 2019
Software Version: R16NW.G930VVRSBCTC1
The phone is bootlooping (I've already replaced it with a Pixel 4a) and I'm hoping to rescue it to use as a backup phone.
I downloaded this from Updato:
GALAXY S7 / SM-G930V
8.0.0 Oreo(Android ) /

Thanks for any advice - just trying to get the phone up and running stock
You're trying to flash firmware with Bootloader 9, but your current Bootloader is 11 (means you got last software upgrade and there's no chance to downgrade Bootloader)... This topic is discussed already several times. Wait for new exploit (if this someday will appear) for root for Bootloader 11

Hi - thanks for the reply - now I know what to read up on and that this phone is probably not going to see action again.
My hunch is that if it suddenly started doing this when nothing new has been installed for over a year that it's a hardware issue anyway.

Then seems that your phone was arrived to you with latest firmware pre installed... But it's definitely an firmware issue, I have the same now in my hands , so I'm also waiting for the root.
P.S.
What's your issue??? I mean, why you want to downgrade???

Flashing stock ROM using Odin fails at param.bin

Hi,
I know this has been asked a lot but I have looked at countless threads trying to rectify this issue.
I have an S7 Edge (SM-G935F) that at some point black screened itself. After numerous attempts at revival, I have managed to get it to at least display something. From what I'm guessing, something at some point has become corrupted and the phone is now soft-bricked. So what I have been attempting to do is flash stock firmware via odin.
Here is a screen showing it is soft bricked ->
https://imgur.com/a/GLUv8Il
Here is a screen showing its download mode stats ->
https://imgur.com/a/XXp2ut8
On the soft brick screen I have used the FRP hijacker tool to both "fix" softbrick as well as remove FRP. I don't think either were sucessful. However, the S7 did boot into the "Galaxy S7" splash screen and then to an "erasing" and an "installing update" screen. Both processes failed and boot loop with a message describing the failure ("dm-verity verification failed" and "fail to open recovery_cause"), but it seems like progress.
Erasing screen ->

Installing update screen ->

Fail screens ->

Also, the phone refuses to boot into the recovery menu, as if its not even there somehow. Instead, the phone boots into the "Galaxy S7" splash screen then the blue screens linked above. Sometimes it boots into the soft brick screen and sometimes into the splash screen. Its difficult to even get it into download mode as it takes a long time (hence the rubber bands to hold the buttons down) and I think the battery is toast.
I have been using Odin 3.14.4 (and 3.13.1) to try and flash stock firmware. What I have been doing is using Frija to download the latest firmware by entering the model number (SM-G935F) and then the country code. However, I do not know which one the phone is. I have done numerous (free) imei checks and one site stated that it was a United Kingdom/Ireland carrier (XEU) (it is a UK phone) but I have tried XEU, BTC, BTU, VIR and VOD and all firmwares fail to flash at the param.bin part. I have also got the PIT file from the XEU CSC_ which sucesssfully flashed, but it made no difference. I've even tried to flash the BL_ by itself to try and get the recovery menu but it still fails at param.bin. I have ruled out that I am using firmware with an older binary as the phone does not display the red text that it normally does when this is attempted. Something to note is that FRP is on, but I do not know if this makes a difference. I should also mention I have tried some firmware from Sammobile which havent worked either.
Here is a screenshot of the param.bin fail using the VIR firmware (after uninstalling the Samsung USB driver just to rule it out)

Im completely stumped now and am in need of advice. I think I have a basic understadning of how Odin works but most of my knowledge has come from attempting to fix this S7. Does the carrier/region even need to match in order for the flash to be sucessful? Does flashing the PIT or BL_ bring back the recovery menu? What are the next steps to fix/flash this S7. Does it seem like there's actually a hardware fault?
I apologise if I dont respond immediately and for the wall of text (I have tried to be thorough). Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.
I just wanted to add that trying to flash without attatching BL_ causes it to fail at boot.img

I am having same problem with you. I tried to flash 4-5 firmware but no way. have you found any solution?
Does it show any sign of charging? What happens if you try to flash only CP or CSC? If it consistently fails after a certain number of bytes was transferred, your device could have a broken RAM chip or some other logic board issue, perhaps the flash storage itself is failing.
