Rooted
Boots phone, but stays on samsung animated boot screen, left for hours and still the same.
Tried booting into power + home + up, comes up with
Custom Binary blocked by Reactivation Lock. Secure fail: Recovery
And then shuts down.
Can not access any menu in that part.
Tried odin Mode
and tried to Odin original firmware what is on the phone so it matches apart from the root.
Odin sees the phone, tries, but fails, on the phone itself a blue bar appears but does not move and freezes the phone.
Odin Mode: high speed

Phoned samsung, they will not even touch or talk to me about it as it is rooted and breaks their warranty. Bit mardy with the, told them why would I buy a phone outright if I could not install root and adaway? Im sick of ads from Google popping up all over the place, Google didnt buy the phone I did, about time you sorted that, mr samsung. no comment, just we cant get involved with your phone. and we can not give you a price to fix it.
Al I want is either to get rid of the lock, or just wipe the dam thing so I can start using it again.
All attempts fail.
Can anyone else help or has seen this issue with Odin? is it the lock what is stopping it working? is there any other settings I missed?
New on here today, so if Iposted in the wrong area, sorry.

Stock Untouched Galaxy S7 Edge DUOS Bootloop issue

Hello Everyone,
I'm having an issue with my S7 Edge since yesterday. I was on playing some music when my phone suddently shuts itself off. Then it boot up only to be in the bootloop issue as mentioned. I tried going to Recovery Mode but volume up and power key didnt register however I am able to enter Download mode.
Now in download mode I see the following:
ODIN MODE
DOWNLOAD SPEED: FAST
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G935F
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
FRP LOCK: ON
Secure Download: Enabled
WARRANTY VOID: 0 (0x0000)
RP SWREV: B:2 K:0 S:0
About my phone, it is actually the black galaxy s7 edge duos (SM-G935FD) and running on Nougat. I'm not sure what version it was running on but when I first bought it 2 years ago, it was running on Marshmallow out of the box. I have never rooted the device nor flashed or installed any custom ROM. It was untouched but one time few months back it experienced boot-loop but was fixed when I entered recovery mode and wiped the cache. Only this time it isn't working.
Last night I tried to download 2 types of stock firmware from Sammobile for the SM-G935FD. Flashing it on Odin for both firmware worked but bootloop still exist. I still cant enter Recovery mode except Odin mode.
I don't even know where to begin.
Please help.

Just download latest firmware for your region through samfirm or updato/sammobile. Then use latest odin version from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4431597&d=1519662712
Flash using normal csc, not home csc and you will be good. Don't tick auto reboot in odin options. Don't tick anything except F.Reset. After odin says flash is successful with a pass, disconnect usb and force restart from download mode by holding power+vol down+home when screen goes black immediately change from vol down to vol up key while still holding power+home keys. It will get you in recovery. If you are still unable to get in recovery then I guess you have faulty buttons or some other hardware problem.

I won't recommend, do it on your own risk. Extract the normal csc file and there will be a pit file there.
Are there any error messages displayed in odin/phone?

Yes, leave it to bootloop for a while. For me I'm not sure what really happened. I was fed up with the phone bootlooping even after trying to flash it with a stock firmware (latest version) from sammobile. What I did, I just threw the phone into the bag while bootlooping because I was in a hurry to go to work (Already given up hope). By the time, I reached office (approx. 30 minutes drive) I took out the phone only to find it on the initial setup screen like when you first bought it from the store and turning it on.
Just an update: My S7 Edge is still working with no issues of bootloop. Using it for playing games and other stuff. It's no longer my daily driver phone as I have switched to SG S9.

Only Download mode accessible!! (Samsung Galaxy S8 - India)

Hi, I'm new here so I don't know where to post stuff.
My S8 (SM-G950FD Android 9.0) suddenly stopped working. I was in my office and suddenly my phone rebooted and stuck on Samsung Galaxy S8 Boot screen.
Device Details:
Name: Samsung Galaxy S8
Model: SM-G950FD
Android version: 9.0
Security patch: I think I updated it to July patch not sure.
OEM Lock: On
FRP Lock: On
RP SWREV: B:5 K:4 S:4
Region: India (INS)
USB-Debugging: probably off not sure
Problem:
I'm not able to boot my phone.
1) Recovery Mode not accessible
2) Download mode is accessible
2.1) If I press volume up after pressing Bixby + v-down + power. The phone enters in download mode.
2.2) If I press volume down then it freezes. I have to use force restart using volume-down + power.
3) On Charging it just show a screen with a circle and power icon (no charging)
What I've tried till now.
1) Flashing with Odin. (not successful) the version used were 3.13.x where x = 1, 2, 3 and 3.12.3 as well.
2) I do have the right firmware from sam-mobile (although I tried multiple after it failed)
3) I have tried repartition, pit file (extracted from CSC) and also NAND-ERASE (Odin Always Fails).
4) Multiple data cables
5) I have the Driver installed as I can see COM ports.
6) I've tried spamming the start button of Odin once it fails and it reboots into download mode.
What I've succeeded in till now
Once I tried to flash the Stock Recovery which I extracted from the AP file from the firmware.
After countless failure, it flashed. ODIN said PASS.
So I connected my charger. This time I can see the percentage of battery (Still power off) then I powered it on.
it went past the Samsung galaxy s8 screen bt got stuck on Samsung (logo) the LED was blue.
and then again it went to its previous state.
P.S. I'll be glad If someone can help me out.

Galaxy S5 SM-G900M boot loop (?)

Hey there I have a Galaxy S5 that was running LineageOS, I started having some trouble recharging it, couldn't figure out if it was the battery or recharger.
I decided to leave it at a repair shop and afterwards buy a new battery from them. The first day it was working normally and I left it the whole day just recharging but then it started having some problems rebooting automatically. Now it keeps "rebooting" all the time which wasn't a problem with the old battery, the Galaxy S5 logo appears then it reboots and appears again etc.
I can't boot into recovery either but strangely enough I can get into download mode without it rebooting and it seems to work fine, even unplugged from any power source, this confuses me because I thought it was the battery.
Without being connected to a USB cable:
Power: Vibrates, Galaxy S5 logo appears, "recovery booting..." appears on top left, reboots immediately afterwards (doesn't enter recovery).
Volume UP + Home + Power: Vibrates, nothing appears on screen, slight flash on the screen as if it was damaged (but it isn't).
Volume DOWN + Home + Power: Boots into download mode absolutely fine, screen working 100%, doesn't reboot (can flash normally).
Being connected to a USB cable:
As soon as I connect it, the phone automatically tries to turn on as if I pressed the Power button ("recovery booting..." appears on top left), keeps rebooting as mentioned before, if I remove the battery while keeping it plugged in, it keeps doing the same thing but the Galaxy S5 Logo lasts longer on the screen and no "recovery booting..." appears on top left.
Volume UP + Home + Power: Same as just pressing Power mentioned before, keeps rebooting as mentioned but no slight flashes and screen works unlike when unplugged.
Volume DOWN + Home + Power: Boots into download mode absolutely fine, screen working 100%, doesn't reboot (can flash normally).
What I've tried so far:
Flash original ROM with Odin, flashed fine but still rebooting.
Flash TWRP on top of original ROM with Odin, flashed fine but still rebooting.
Flash "G900MUBU1BOE1_IUS1BOE1_v5.0_Repair_Firmware" along with the included .pit file, flashed fine but still rebooting.
Flash https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s5/firmware/SM-G900M/ZVV/download/G900MUBU1CPF2/88002/, flashed fine but still rebooting.
Flash "G900MUBU1BOK3", flashed fine but still rebooting.
Flash "G900MUBU1ANG3", flashed fine but still rebooting.

No luck

Same problem here, with a G900I. No luck, I've tried two "4 file" repair firmwares with repartitioning and one stock single file, no luck either.
