SM-A510F won't power up - Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Ok, so I tried to find a thread about this and I can't find a similar one.
It is the first time I make a thread but I am out of ideas and I don't know what to do.
So this phone is my father's and he droped it in water. I knew it was not water proof so I told him it is broken. But after 2 days I was curious and I tried to power up the phone. It did power up into recovery mode so I did a factory reset (it was charging). But after the reset it did not restart. I tried to hold pwr + home + volum up to boot into recovery but it did not work. Only download mode works. Yesterday I tried to flash a stock firmware and it worked but it still doesn't power up. It is FRP locked so I can't flash a custom rom.
Any other ideas? :crying:

d802 can't get to recovery/boot!

Hi all,
I think I am in some serious trouble right now.. I tried to flash the latest carbon ROM on my device, but completely
forgot to flash the kernel.
I cannot connect to my device using adb (really can't remember if i didn't enable it, been flashing a couple of ROMS tonight ).
I can however, use fastboot.. But what use is that? Can I somehow restore or get to my recovery?
Any help is appreciated!!
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thanks for the fast reply, but I can't get to recovery.. I've already tried this several times..
Any other suggestions?
EDIT:
It just hangs in black screen, and doesn't get any further when I try this.

If you got to the hard reset screen and pressed power two times but could not get to recovery, its possible that you no longer have any recovery (CWM or TWRP). In some roms, a recovery image is sometimes flashed overwriting the recovery image that you previously installed.
Best bet may be is get back to stock. Try this thread, hope it helps.

[Q] i9500 Bootloop Can't Go Into Recovery or Download Mode

So my phone is bootlooping whenever my battery is attached. I can't go into recovery mode nor download mode. I try to push the combo buttons and the yellow triangle comes up. But when I push the vol up button it didn't load to download mode and keep rebooting. Help?
This happened after i flashed the new 5.0.1 Lollipop OS and try to put CWM recovery.

[Q] I bricked my Verizon S5. Any help appreciated.

I tried to upgrade to the latest version via Keis on my rooted S5. After it said it was successful, it rebooted and now it freezes on the verizon screen when it loads and goes no further. I tried to reset the phone by using Odin 3.09 and the original stock kernal G900V_NCG_Stock_Kernel.tar.md5 but it will just stay at the "samsung unlocked" screen, reboot, then goes into recovery mode. I have done a factory reset on it and re-tried the upgrade with no luck. It will only boot into the recovery mode automatically (I don't have to press anything, it just goes strait to it when it boots). Any advice?
Thank you,

I was able to finally get it working by following the directions here:

I did try your way but it still gave me the same error. I think something got f'd up on the partitioning? I'm not sure, but i loaded it into Odin and it kept on failing. Only after I re-partitioned it, it finally came back. Thank you though for your help.

Note N900w8 Stuck

Hi, so the problems I am experiencing are that I tried to install Resurrection Remix ROM for my phone. I do not know where my idiot brain messed up along the way, but I installed ROM Manager on my phone, and then pressed backup current ROM, which immediately set the phone to be booting in Recovery Mode, but unfortunately wont be detected my phone. The error code is the following:
RECOVERY BOOTING:
RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDRIOD ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit : recovery
I tried pushing the VOLUME DOWN + POWER and the HOME buttons together to open Odin mode, but this is just stuck, as nothing happens in that mode. After several hours of trying to figure this out by myself, a frustrated me decided to come here to see if the community could help me out. Does anyone have any ideas? I really cannot afford a new phone right now :crying:
Flash twrp in odin mode.
Sent from my SM-N920C
Do you have access to a USB jig to try and force download mode?
Before pressing vol down, home, and power, is the phone powered off?What do you mean nothing happens? The phone won't power on?
Fixed, thank you for your help

What I did to solve the issue was flash a stock Andriod 4.4.2 tar file from Odin. The computer would not recognize the device sometimes, however, I did manage to get it through. After that I managed to get everything figured out and get Reserruction Remix ROM on my phone. Thank you for your guys help!

Flashing it to its original form

I flashed my grand prime last year with lollipop, now I tried to factory reset it on settings and got bricked, now it is back to 5.0.2 and whenever I factory reset, I have to use odin first. how can I fix that? I want to factory reset it without odin just like normal phone.
Have you tried to do a factory reset via recovery? and what do you mean by "now it is back to 5.0.2..."? did you flash a newer version and get back?

I tried recovery but it directs on downloading, I guess they vanished when I flashed it to 5.0.2 last year. I downloaded 4.4.4 stock rom awhile ago but it failed, then I restart but it resets as 5.0.2 help please T_T

What is your phone model? maybe you're flashing the wrong firmware for your device, that's why it's getting error and by the way, turn your phone completely off and press home + vol down + power just to make sure if recovery has vanished (I think it's not possible either)

It's alright, and then? I wrote that wrong?, press volume UP instead of DOWN to get to recovery mode, if you press down it'll go to download mode, unless you want to reflash tour firmware wit Odin
