So i recently rooted my device, and being the dumbass that i am, disabled the IdeaDesktop application. When I did that and pressed home, the tablet got stuck. So I reset it with the reset button under the camera but now when it boots the lenovo logo/music plays but then the device is stuck at a message saying "Starting application"
Essentially, I need a way to recover the device/reinstall the OS. I tried the hold power+volume to reach recovery but I think i'm doing it wrong. What other options do I have?

I sideloaded a bad zip to my phone using Root toolkit software and since then I see "Unfortunately System UI has stopped" message in loop.
When I try to enter recovery mode by pressing Volume Up + Down + Power buttons, I don't see the options. Just android logo with red exclamation is shown in recovery mode.
When I try using Root toolkit to install stock ROM then root toolkit software gives error message that ADB device is found but it was listed as "unauthorized" which I know that I have to accept that confirmation popup in the phone when we connect phone to computer. Since the System UI stopped error comes at phone bootup, I can't see the above fingerprint confirm dialog box too.
Any idea what can be done to resolve this?
When you see the dead android with the exclamation, hold power and press volume up.
Can't get to download mode after "error occurred while updating device SW". s7 edge
While trying to upgrade my Claro galaxy s7 edge from android 6.0 to 7.0 using Smart Switch my phone crashed and the software got corrupted. (couldn't do it through manual/automatic update).
Now i'm stuck on the Window : "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software". I tried both the emergency Software Recovery and Device Initialization but both failed with error "failed to run firmware upgrade unknown error occurred". Tried it in different computer, restarting both the devices, reinstalling device driver. Nth worked.
Finally i searched forums and tried to flash custom rom using ODIN. Thing is while downloading the ROM my phone went to Download mode when i pressed "Volume up" + Power + Home button but now the combination just does nothing and i'm stuck on the "An error has occured window". I tried 300k tool and also Both volume + power + slide in usb cable combo but nth happened. I tried to install custom rom through ODIN while in this window but ti fails after 2 mins too.
Also Pressing Volume down Power and home (recovery mode) brings me to this same window again and again. Just waiting for the battery to die and start anew.
Just 4 days with my phone. Any help to solve these problem are appreciated.
Did you try already vol down + home + power and as soon as the screen goes blank switch to vol up + home + power to get in recovery mode?
Stuck on error screen; no download mode

I am having the same issue after trying to flash updated ROM on my S8 via Odin. Process got to the end and said 'FAIL'. Following the reboot, I was stuck on the 'An error has occurred...' screen and every attempt to enter Download mode or recovery mode (By quickly switching to the volume up button in between reboots, as you stated) has failed. Smart Switch is not recognising my device either despite all the correct Samsung USB drivers being installed. Any ideas anyone?
Apologies for posting here on S7 forum but the problem is identical.
Did you ever fix this? I have the same problem now

Hi! i know this is an old thread but i know how to fix it. You can flash with odin while you n the error screen. My phone (almost) died when i saw my kg state is prenormal and tried to flash magisk firmware but then... m phone showed up the error and then figured this out you can flash with odin when you are on the error screen.(sorry for bad english)

just watch my post
i there. After (an attempt) to unlock the bootloader of my A50 and installing TWRP Recovery (TWRP_A50_Magisk_Prepatched) i find myself in an orange bootstate. I can't get it into recovery, download or fastboot mode. It seems like a full brick. I can't even power off the device. Only Volume up, Volume down and Power button let's the device reboot but then the same boot problems appear. Is there anything i can do to recover my phone?
Text of first screen when booting up:
"The phone's bootloader is unlocked and it's software integrity can't be verified. Andy data on this phone may be vulnerable to attackers. Don't store any important or sensitive information on this phone". Press power key to continue"
Text of second screen when booting up:
"The phone is not running Samsung's official software. You may have problems with features or security and you won't be able to install software updates"
Any ideas!?
TWRP sometimes boots and sometimes the same vol up and power process shows samsung logo screen i need help
okay try this , connect your phone to the laptop or PC and press the volume up button and power button together and once you see Samsung a50 logo come up remove the finger from power button and keep pressing the volume up button till twrp come up and hope fully from there you will get it together and use the phone new
if that dosen't work download the latest firmware of your phone from google and flash it using obin and hopfully it will work
PS you will find plenty of videos how to do it in youtube
IT says an Error Has occured while updating the device sofatware and I can't get out of it. I hold power and vol down button and just quick reboots back into the same screen even when conntected to laptop. I also move my finger from vol down to vol up while the screen is black for about a second and nope still go back to the same screen.
Try it
