You may need to recover your device through odin, but 1st you should be sure that its going into download mode. To check it you may follow the steps below:
1. Take out the battery & put it back
2. Press the vol up & down button together
3. Now connect phone to PC via usb cable while keeping the vol buttons pressed.
The screen shall turn on and show downloading. If this is working then there is a fair chance to recover your phone.
I will shortly post a link to recovery steps.

I'm pretty sure it does, although I only did something similar on an Android device! On that I had to give the phone a command via the cmd.exe in Windows.

Help soft brick!

Hello
I flashed the recovery and after that relock bootloder
I made a mistake in choosing a recovery
The phone stays on the boot screen ! (Tries to reset Factory)
Fastboot Not Work ! (Does not enter)
vol+ and vol- Not work (Does not enter)
My phone is brick
Sory.My english is not good

When your phone is turned off, just hold vol- and power.
It will boot into bootloader mode now and you will be able to flash the correct recovery.

And yeah, when you will be on Marshmallow fw, flash latest TWRP from twrp.me for Honor 5C, and then flash Elite ROM 2.0, it's stable and the best variant of all custom firmwares and ota's

Bro, hold power button for a long time, whenever the screen will be black, hold volume - a lot and then after less then second insert usb charger(usb has to be in computer or laptop), and then unlock your bootloader again bro.

Oh my god, you have to be faster, when the phone is off, hold volume down, and then after less then second insert usb cable. You will be entered to fastboot.

Bricked my P20 Pro

So today I tried to Update my p20 pro with HuRupdater (link)
but unfortunately it showed me couple of errors. I tried to reboot my Phone and now I cant turn it on anymore.
Can someone help me please?

Hello! First of all, try to check if you can enter into fastboot mode or recovery.. if you can, use HI suite to recover the phone.

I can´t enter fastboot or recovery. I tried every shortcut (Volume UP/Volume Down+ Power) ,but that doesn't work neither.

Have you tried erecovery ? Hold down vol+ while you plug in a power source.

Definitely eRecovery will work. That's volume up after applying power or power button. Not at same time because that'll give you normal recovery.
Try it a few times if it doesn't work first time.
It'll ask to download the full software (3GB).

Nope that doesn't work neither. I tried it a few times. My phone is literally dead. It doesn't even vibrate when I connect it to my PC or a power source.

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Bootloop

hello, I have a problem with my galaxy note 9. I mistakenly started an update with a different firmware from mine (I have SM-N960F). So now it is in bootloop on the screen installing system update. If I press Power + Volume Down the phone can simulate the removal of the battery by switching off and then restarting immediately. I can not get into recovery mode nor download mode. The phone is not recognized by the PC and therefore I can not use odin. How can i do?

Hold down Bixby, volume down, and power button until you see the download screen. Then flash through proper firmware.

if I try this combination of keys the phone will reboot on the logo screen until I stop (and then go back to that of the installing system update)

Ok. Try Bixby, Power, and Volume UP. See if you can get into recovery.

no, nothing happens..

If one wants to remove the carrier boot/flashscreen does one just flash an unbranded firmware? hate the carrier startup splash screen...

Dang. That sounds like a hard brick to me. If you can't get into download, there's nothing you can do. Hopefully someone here can find a solution for you, but sounds like you're bricked.

I think you accidentally clicked on for wrong thread. Your question has nothing to do with the OP's problem.

contrary to what some might have suggested in this case dl mode can only be achieved if phone is OFF. ( on the note 9 dl mode button combo changed so... :cyclops: )
so if you cant get to recovery and select power off. let it drain out. then plug the power for 10 min to charge it. leave it powered off
then unplug. hold vol down and bixby with one hand. while holding those 2 buttons plug the usb cable from your pc.
should revive to dl mode

Yes, but I celebrated too early ... now I have another problem. I downloaded a firmware from updato.com and unzipped. I assigned the entries bl ap cl and csc, and started .. now the process is started on "set partition" and on the device the horizontal bar has not loaded. now it is still .. and yet the phone has been recognized.

you need to know what model phone you have and flash the matching firmware.(get latest)
you can also use samfirm tool to get latest firmwares.
you cant downgraded bootloader so maybe you just choose a too old of a firmware.
also be sure you use Odin v. 3.13.1
also check that you are using a good USB c cable/USB port on PC.

Yes.. there was an error non odin 12.3
It's finally work:good:

Glad you got it working. Sorry if I steered you the wrong direction. I wasn't implying you could get to Download mode with it powered on. I assumed you were trying it with the device powered down. I should've been more clear and I almost asked you that.
Glad Bober got you up and running.

Hi all, I got a boot loop on my note 9 n960n after I was enable the "encryption"(didn't think straight..). After I pressed "reset and the phone will go to TWRP recovery but it will not allow me to stop so it just keep looping whenever I press "reset". I cannot power off the phone also. Any advise is appreciated, thanks in advance.
I solved the problem eventually..

same problem here.
wait a lot of hours battery to go down and put in download mode but now odin didn recognize it.
Any advice,please

Have you tried:
1. Plug phone into computer, with odin running
2. Turn phone off (if bootlooping skip to next step)
3. Hold bixby and volume down buttons, then turn phone on( or wait for phone to power cycle if bootlooping)
4. You should now be in download mode

if i press power button it will stuck in installing system info again

seems you might not have flashed a complete firmware set ( all 4 bl ap cp and csc .md5 files. were you trying to downgrade by any chance?)
also u should state what got you in that jam in the 1st place. because just responding to an old thread dosen't give much info on your current situation.
