Hello there,
I don't know much about rooting and flashing and other things because it's not my cup of tea. Coming to the point, yesterday I followed a guide to root my Samsung Galaxy E7 using the CF Autoroot flash file. But things didn't go well, after a few seconds of starting flash process using the Odin tool, my phone lost connection with the PC. Odin was still flashing the file but when I checked the log it said removed. I noticed that my phone's download mode is also got stuck. So I got panicked and pressed vol down + power + home to hard restart the phone, and then my got stuck on Emergency Recovery Screen (I forgot to take the photo of the message flashing on that screen). Currently my phone's battery is drained and its resting.
So please tell me if there's any way to fix my phone. A simple method please because I don't know much about these things. And another is that whether my data is still safe or erased.
Thanks in advance

Hello, this is my first post on here.
My samsung galaxy note 3 on verizon is the first android phone I have had. I tried to root it earlier today following a guide online and now my phone is stuck in ODIN mode.
I have tried to follow various guides I have found including guides on this site to get it out of softbricked mode and nothing has worked, Could someone please guide me through my specific phone for me. I have spent hours searching, watching guides, and downloading different files to run through odin and not one has managed to get me anywhere.
Thanks for your help.
Did you try re-flashing stock imgs through odin or kies?

Do you recall what guide you followed to root? Have you tried removing the battery and if so, does the phone boot normally or go right back to download mode?
Not sure if this is your issue or not, but if you entered Odin mode from the normal OS, (e.g. with "adb reboot-bootloader"), the phone will always reboot into Odin Mode if you soft - cycle the phone (by holding the power button down continuously for more than 8 seconds or so).
So, try doing this: with the phone in Odin Mode, pull the battery. Wait 10 seconds, re-insert the battery, and attempt to restart the phone in recovery mode by simultaneously holding down the Vol-Up, Home, and Power button.
If you want decent help you should describe not only the current behavior of your phone, but also the exact steps you performed to get your phone into this condition & the release version of software on the phone before you started your rooting attempt.
Note: if your phone is soft-bricked, restoring it via Odin might be the only recourse... so the fact that it boots into Odin/Download Mode is in some ways a positive thing.

Hello, I have the same problem, was trying to root my brand new Note 3 using the guide listed here using root de la Vega but every time that I run odin got the failed message now I am stuck on Odin mode, every time that I restart the phone goes to Odin mode... you mentioned that restoring via Oding might be the only option, if so could you help me with that, or redirect me to where I can find the guide to do that. Thanks in advance

It is common that folks that are new to this stuff don't know how to ask questions in the best manner. So I thought I would illustrate with two key phrases that folks (that are requesting help) that should be avoided at all costs:
"I tried everything!"
Here's what's wrong with this: we have no idea what your idea of "everything" is. And especially if you are new to this stuff, it is probably not "everything". So, using this phrase is really the same thing as providing no information at all.
Be explicit and explain exactly what you tried, including as many details as possible. Examples: URLs of guides you followed, version numbers of any software you used, names of files you downloaded, copy and paste any error messages you experienced.
"It failed."
Read the above several times. What information does it provide? Yeah, that's right - almost nothing. We got the part about you having a problem already. Now is the time to provide details. You are trying to repair a computer - the actual details are incredibly important to getting that to happen.
Be explicit and explain exactly what you tried, including as many details as possible, and provide a transcript of the exact error messages you observed.

I believe my phone is Hard-Bricked.
It is a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime sm-G530a.
Its AT&T.
It was running 5.1.1 Lollipop.
Basically I opened developer options , Ticked OEM Unlock, An enabled USB Debugging.
Then I used KingRoot APK to Root Phone.
Everything was successful I used RootChecker from Playstore to check root. It was Rooted.
Then I Installed TWRP Manager from Play Store, and here's where I messed up.
It asked me to locate my device, An I accidentally installed Galaxy Grand Prime Duo Recovery.
So the phone restarted an all I get is Blank Screen and it Vibrates every 1-3 Seconds.
The computer wont recognize it and I have no clue what to do.
So please anyone on here with more smarts then me please lend a Helping hand.
I don't mind donating after problem is resolved cuz its a cheaper option than buying all new device,
P.S.
There are three stages to bricked correct,
1. Bricked wont Do Anythin!
2. Hard Bricked Messed up System Partition, Blah Blah!
3. Soft Bricked simply Install new OS or what have you!
I just recently flashed a recovery instead of a boot img and had some issues I swung hard at and succeeded. I know how it feels to be there man. Hope to help here, can you boot into download mode??
Vol Up, Menu, Pwr Button? This way you can flash stock 5.1.1 using Odin...
Try booting to download mode. If is won't work try the jit cable method

re
there is another way aswell.. if he can go to recovery then clear cache three times then clear factory 3 times and take out battery. now here's the hard step (a little) : hold the download mode combo keys and put in the battery
and the computer will recognize it.
carefully follow steps and i think it will work.
I need help and have no idea where to go. My phone restarted randomly like it usually does but It got stuck on this screen

Sadly I had no backup for the device and am wondering if it's bricked. I can access the phone when I hold the power/ down volume/home button from time to time. I formatted the device hoping it would fix the issue. I managed to set up the device but I have to hold those specific buttons for it to work. Here are the device specs. I don't know what to do. I tried factory resetting it but with no luck. Every time i turn on the device I have to use that button order. I just have no idea what to do. I installed a stock rom via odin using this tutorial.

Device: Samsung Galaxy s4 SGH-I337
Android : 4.4.4 kit kat
Edit: I have to hold volume down/home button/ power to turn it on which is quite annoying. I've never had this issue before. Is there a way to completely restore it to factory without having to do all this stuff? I tried doing it via recovery mode and in the phone itself. I get this screen https://cdn-images.xda-developers.com/direct/3/0/1/9/2/9/4/20120813002112.jpg
Which I usually get but then it goes straight to the odd recovery mode screen and not to the phone.
I found out something huge that might help! My volume up key isn't working so I'm assuming it's booting it straight into recovery mode for that reason. I read on a few sites saying I need the device repaired! I'm almost 100% sure thats the issue but correct me if im wrong. The volume up wont work at all.

The youtube video you mentioned was about how to root the i337. The video did not mentioned anything about stock rom installation via odin.
The video shows to install the nc1 kernel, then use the towel root to root and then install the NJ4 kernel back to work with system.
It appears that your system messed-up in installing the kernel.
You need to install the full firmware via odin. There is only one full firmware available for kit-kat. It is NB1 firmware with NC1 kernel cooked by muniz_ri. You can download the firmware from here.
Unrar the firmware and you will get .md5 file. Put your phone to download mode, load the .md5 file to AP slot of the odin and flash it.
If you have problem in flashing odin show the screen shot of odin error.
Once your phone is running fine, you can use towel root to root the phone. If you want to upgrade to NJ4 I will show you the direction then.
Hi all,
I have a weird problem with my Galaxy S4 (i9505) as follows:
-The screen was broken, then replaced the screen and worked for fine so I upgraded the phone to the offered 5.0.1 OS.
-It worked fine for two days, and then suddenly turned off, and kept stuck on Samsung Logo.
-It only could go to Download mode, but never to Recovery mode.
-If connected to the wall charger, it keeps vibrating and displaying the battery symbol alternatively for ever.
-I tried every all the tricks I could find on the forums such as
----Using a new battery
----Writing the official firmware 4.4.2, 5.0.1, recovery firmwares (4 files AP, BL, CS, CCS), all completed successfully.
----Tried PIT files (disparately reset NAND).
-It kept showing "Memory Booting ..." message either when starting normally or with Recovery mode.
-Installed TWRP (latest) and then it showed "RECOVERY BOOTING ...", "RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING", " Set Warranty Bit : recovery".
-Lastly installed official firmware 4.4.2 and again showing "MEMORY BOOTING ...".
Your help is tremendously appreciated.
Also, I've noticed that I can go to the download mode only by pressing (Power + Vol Down) buttons, without the need to press the Home button, does that mean that the Home button is already pressed all the time (could be a faulty screen?).
I have an s4 sgh-i337m that will also go into download modem by only pressing volume down and power. The phone does function properly and I can get into recovery without any issues.

Thanks audit13, now the possible home button issue has been eleminated.
Any other suggestions?
Have tried flashing the stock rom with Odin 3.07 as a single tar file in the pda slot and performing a factory reset before letting the phone both for the first time?
When booting to recovery, are you letting go of the power button after the phone starts to boot?
Yep, I did all possible firmwares 5.0.1, and 4.4.2 either in one file or in 4 files, also I've tried every possible combination but didn't let me into Recovery mode.
Sounds like there may be something wrong with the phone's internal memory.
Only thing I can suggest is getting the phone flashed via jtag.

You'll have to take it to a cell repair shop to flash it.
Hi. Browsed for ages and always come here for answers.
Here's my problem.
2x S8s. SM-950f.
Updated to most recent software through software update. Both phones were glitchy and crashing and just generally irritating after.
Factory data reset etc. This did not resolve the problems, also led to one of them having issues with FRP (annoying)
Used Odin to try and flash the latest firmware (from sammobile, UK BTU) after flashing both, they reset and powered on. Got stuck at the S8 screen.
Restarted then both were at the "an error occurred during update" screen.
Managed to get back to download screen. Re checked the software and model numbers, even that the bootloader was the correct version etc. All was fine.
Connected to Odin, shows that it is connected, but nothing happens when clicking start.
Now after attempting that, both phones will not power on.
(One will when placed on the wireless charger, but just sticks at S8 screen) and download mode or reset screen can not be accessed. So, not exactly happy. And totally out of ideas
Any suggestions, beyond taking it to a shop to see if anyone can help.
yes .....dont tuch the phones for 24 hours let the battery die ...it will...connect to pc and then try download mode....u may need to press combination for like 1 minute to get to download mode....flash twrp reboot directly into it when odin says successfully .....wipe system data ....dont turn on phone download any custom rom flash and enjoy.....it will trip knox but worth than getting a new board....
Okay, will give that a try.
TWRP?
TWRP install
https://dl.twrp.me/dreamlte/twrp-3.2.3-0-dreamlte.img.tar.html: Download link for twrp SM-G950F (dreamlte)
Just said, wait until your device powers off due battery insufficience. Plug cable and hold at the same moment vol(down)+bixby+power. Then press vol(up) at the warning screen to proceed to odin mode. Let it charging a while like 1 h. Then unplug it and plug it to your pc. In Odin select ap the previous downloaded file. Take your mobile in your hand. With one hand, prepare your fingers to vol(up)+bixby and with the other hand start the flashibg process. Be careful, and take your hand directly from the mouse if you clicked start in odin, and position your one finger to power button, but dont click. If odin start pass, press immidiately the buttons (vol(up)+bixby+power) and let it to start into recovery. If you arrived to recovery, reply to us if not search for help!!!
Good luck

Okay, downloaded TWRP, can get phone calls nected to Odin but when I extract TWRP it doesn't give a valid file type.
Am I being dumb.
No files appear that Odin will recognise.
Also just shows as "recovery" no .tar or anything
Ignore above. Corrupted download.
Sorted.
Now when flashing TWRP is gets to a fail due to
"Complete (write) fail

Not sure what stage your at and maybe some more useless ideas
1. Trying to flash twrp is kinda of useless if you can't get into your system need oem unlock for that.
2. Have you tried taking out Sim card and SD card and reboot.
3. If you can at least boot try smart switch as it has a emergency recovery option.
4. Trying rebooting in safe mode.
All been attempted
