Unrooted my Samsung S8 running 8.0 and tried to update using smartswitch and am just met with a blue screen saying "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the smart switch PC software" i have tried doing that and (at the time of writing this) it has failed once, idk if i can boot to download mode and have tried but its either already in it or its just F'd up...
When i run Odin it says "Added" so thats a good sign right?
At the time of this im currently trying the recovery option so will see if this works...

Just flash the firmware you need through Odin. If you get any errors during flashing then post them here and I can help.

Hello,
I was trying to flash the Skrilax Bootloader with the backthund3r flashing utility and something goes wrong.
Now I have a black screen on my tablet, led on the flashing is stuck halfway.
I hope somebody could help me.
Here is what I have done exactly :
Plug the tablet.
Run blackthund3r A500APXFlash.exe
Enter SBK
Choose V8-Thor_1.7.3_recovery.a500apx
Choose the automatic method.
Click enter APX Mode --> black screen on the tablet / let on.
I have had a warning about a bad Acer driver, so I had to reinstal the driver using the link that was provided by the software.
AT THIS STEP I HAD TO UNPLUG THE TABLET TO INSTALL THE SOFTWARE...I DID IT WITHOUT QUITING A500APXFlash
Once the drivers are installed I clicked "Try again" to got to the APX Mode.
I thought it was ok but because I had the black screen on my tablet but in fact the device was not connected "No APX mode detected", I guess I didnt focused on that...
What next is that I click next anyway and didnt cancel the flash.
Had the message box for the bootloader check, I clicked 'No' because the tablet didnt load into the bootloader.
Now backthund3r is stuck halfway and the tablet is not responding (blackscreen, led on).

Is there someting I shout do to continue the flashing process ?
OR shoud I stop I try to hard reset my tablet ?
TIA for your help...
Well.. I just hard reset my tablet and it's working again.
I have been using one of the Lineage 14,1 versions of android lately and today I wanted to return to stock Lolipop using Odin. Unfortunately about half way through I got write error so I tried again and got another write error probably at the same time. Now the flashing doesn't want to even start and I get various error messages in Odin. The latest one is "There is no PIT partition. "
Obviously I cannot boot now I can only enter download mode.
Any ideas?

After numerous attempts, various cables, different usb ports I cleaned usb ports on my original cable and it was a full success.:good:
Glad you got it working.
I recommend using Odin 3.07 and higher in future.

Well I tried 5-6 different versions of Odin before I settled with 3, 1,85.
[SM-T580] Odin Hangs at: “Initalzation…”
I let my Tab A SM-T580 battery run totally dead, when I tried to restart with the USB cable it gave me the “Kernel is not seandroid enforcing” message.
I messed around and tried to reflash with the stock image which failed.
The error I receive with Odin is that the tablet is detected, the files load with MD5 check fine but it hangs at the “Initalzation…” stage.
I have tried 3 PC’s and 2 laptops with the same result. It seems there is some type of protection on the tablet that will not allow any data to be written to it.
Any ideas appreciated.
Here is a capture of Odin and my Tab screen:

“Kernel is not seandroid enforcing" is normal if you have modified/rooted or installed twrp.
You must have seen this before as you have modified the boot and recovery images.
Hi all,
My Wife's tablet seem to be stuck in somesort of system update loop.
I can't seem to put it into recovery mode using
HOME + Volume up + POWER
I can put the tablet in DOWNLOAD mode using HOME + Volume down + POWER, but my PC does not seem to detect the tablet
Using OdinV3 3,14 with the Samsung USB drivers installed.
Is the tablet a lost cause or can i try something else to fix it?
Here is a screenshot what i see on the screen for a brief moment before it reboots.

Thank you for your time!
=========== EDIT1:
So i was able to hook the tab to the PC using another cable i had lying arround, and i wanted to flash TWRP:
But reading the manual, it instruct me to enable OEM unluck in developer options. But this is something i cannot do because the device won't boot
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...overy-official-twrp-gtaxlwifi-galaxy-t3437666
What should i do?
=========================================
====Edit2
So I found me some firmware for my device from sammobile, I hope I can use Odin to flash this on the tablet
https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-tab-a-2016/firmware/SM-T580/PHN/
=====
======EDIT3
So the flash process was stuck in hthe initialization phase for to long and I decided to unplug the device and try again. Now don't ask me why but this time the device automatically booted up in recovery mode and I was able to factory reset the device. It now boots up fine... Can someone explain what is going on? All seems fine now.
Kind regards,
Maniak

Now my phone don't work, all i can see it's a black screen and nothing work's, no download menu, can't connect to Odin.....can i save the phone or just stay 2 months and buy a new phone. I found this pdf any of you know if it's a scam or it's actually true ?
And i'm sorry if i posted in wrong topic!
Don't know much about Samsung phones but mine can not boot into download mode using Home+Vol.Down+Power anymore.
However, it works if I do the following:
1) Open Odin
2) Power off device
3) Hold Power+Vol.Up+Vol.Down, while doing this plug in your cable.
4) Maybe you have to long press Vol.Up now
4) Odin should detect phone and phone should be in download mode
Don't know if that still works since I'm refering to my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830i which is really old (highest official Android OS was 2.3.6).
If it doesn't work, someone else may help you.
I try that but is not working.... Thx for reply
