S8 g950f stuck on boot screen, can not enter recovery - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

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.

After OTA update not booting anymore, only boot screen.

???
Really nothing ???

I'm facing the same issue.. did you figure it out??

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

I mean install bootloader separately, on it's own, and the firmware separately without the built-in BL, might fix your problem.

SM-G900M Stuck in unrepairable bootloop

My SM-G900M is stuck in a boot loop.
When this happened, I Tried to do a factory reset plus cleaning cache in recovery. However this didnot fix my problem so I decided to reflash using odin, so i download the official rom and installed it but again same issue happened. After so much research and headache I installed CWM and did a kalvic, factory reset + format system a few times then I reflashed it afterwards. This seemed to have made the boot loop even worse since I doesn't pass through samsung galaxy s5 powered by android logo. That where the boot loop happens.
So overall I have tried
Reflashing ROM about 5 or 6 times using odin
Flashing a custom recovery multiple times
Factory reset
Clean cache + kalvic
FORMAT system and boot
Pulling the battery out for about a trillion times
Current result:
An Expensive Paper Holder
Thanks
PD: it only works when is pluged in

You can flash files from same model device without problems but if ur fone was looked by imei end you want to unlock the device by changing the firmware your device will not be unlocked the only way is octopus box
What you try to do recover the device or unlock device??

[HELP] Nexus 4 Lollipop 5.1.1 Softbricked

Hey guys, I need a little help to figure out what's going on with my dad's nexus 4.
When he tried to update to the newest version of Lollipop avaiable, the phone entered in a bootloop.
I tried flashing a factory image manually using this guide, but after it was done, the phone booted and it was still in a bootloop (stuck on the colored circles moving). I tried wiping data/factory reset afterwards and the phone remained in a bootloop state.
I also tried using the nexus root toolkit by WugFresh using the option "Flash Stock/Unroot" with the Soft brick/bootloop box checked, but it also didn't solve the problem.
There were no error messages when flashing, and I waited for 30 ~ 45 minutes after each flashing attempt to make sure that the phone was in fact in a bootloop.
I don't know what to do anymore... Can it be a hardware problem?
Did you manually flash the userdata.img file? If not, flash the file and, immediately after flashing the file in fastboot, go into stock recovery, perform a factory wipe, and reboot.

yes, I did exactly as you said.
Hmm, usually flashing the userdata file and wiping via stock recovery works. Have you tried different factory images?

I tried to downgrade to 5.0 and 4.4.4 , but on both of them I get stucked on the boot animation.
Try 4.1.1? If it works, it is possible that the emmc chip is damaged.

On google's site, the factory images avaiable start from version 4.2.2, I'll try using that.
Okay. Good luck.

So, I was able to downgrade to 4.2.0 version using the toolkit that I mentioned. The phone seems to be working fine now. What does that mean? Can I try to update to lollipop without fear?
You can try updating via ota updates to kk and LP but, if it gets stuck again on kk, I think the emmc chip is a problem.

You're welcome. We're all here to help each other out.
Hopefully, you'll be able to upgrade to kk or LP.

I couldn't upgrade to 4.3 jellybean. It got stuck on a bootloop. So it means that it is a hardware problem?
Unfortunately, it appears that the emmc chip is damaged.

Cant boot, cant eneter recovery after flashing TWRP

hello everyone, my galaxy s8 was on stock rom, it was rooted with odin and super su, i made a mistake....
i installed twrp and wanted to flash it, it said that that it all flashed correctly, when i rebooted the phone it got stuck on the galaxy s8 logo, wont turn off and wont enter recovery mode, only thing i can do is enter download mode.
i tried to do whats written in this topic:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/stuck-bootloop-flashing-aqg5-fix-t3636857
im not 100% sure of my firmware version, its the one that came out with galaxy s8 when it launched 6.1 or 7.1
so i download the BL file to use it in odin, i tried the 1AQF7 and 1AQG7 also 1AGDG...
nothing helps, whenever i enter download mode and press START on odin with BL file added and straight away after pressing start hold down the volume down, plus bixby plus power i get the writing in odin NAND write start, i can never get beyond that, does that mean no matter how fast i try pressing all 3 buttons down, bixby and power i will never be able to fix the boot? or am i to slow?
can i push the needed file to fix the bootloader with ADB?
what else can i do now? is it anyhow possible to fix the boot, or if not to somehow please recover the data and transfer it to my pc memory? and start from scratch again with the phone as a last solution.
thank you all so much for your help in advance, been trying all day to fix it with odin, but no luck.
when i enter download mode this is written on my screen, maybe it helps:
odin mode
download speed:fast
product name: sm-g950f
current binary: custom
system status: custom
fap lock: off
oem lock: off
secure download: enabled
CCIC=S2MM005 hw: 6 boot 7 main:35
WARRANTY VOID 1 (0x0500)
RP SWREV: B:1 K:1 S:1
DID =0077ce53b1c2
EVT 1.1
LOT_ID=NBV09
rest is chip id etc which i think cant help anything.
thank you all once more

i do not think you will b able to recover or boot back into android but you should be able to flash an official firmware using odin to get your phone up and running again.
you should always back up important stuff on your phone before attempting any flashing
How about using Odin to 'dirty' flash the exact firmware last working on your phone? For "dirty", I meant flashing home_csc which doesn't force a data wipe.

TWRP on S7 without OEM unlock? (bricked phone)

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.
