I have the i537 model. I rooted to OC7 last week, but my touchscreen was being unresponsive for some reason or another. I decided to revert back to stock firmware, but messed up in the process - tried to flash each file one by one, when I was supposed to do them all at once.
Now, when I do the power + vol down + home button , it doesn't take me to download mode and boots to a stuck AT&T logo...
Is there any way to fix this, or am I going to have to buy a new phone.....
Im not sure but u should try, first u must release HOME and POWER buttons and let the Volume down pressing. And i guess u cant flash via odin means ur phone still got custom recovery, try to go there first? Hope u will fix it soon

If you are just trying to get into recovery you hold volume up and down and power, when at&t comes up you let go of all three
Where did you get the version if froyo you are on, is it a custom rom?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
if getting into recovery doesn't work, you could try getting the phone into download mode and flashing the stock rom with one click odin. download mode is achieved by holding both volume buttons down and plugging the usb cable in, with the other end plugged into your computer of course. you must also have the one click odin downloaded open on your computer before doing this. I'd also recommend using the odin one click with the 3 button fix because the more recently bought captivated seem to have it disabled. hope this helps.
Recently my SGH-1897 stopped booting. It would go to the clockwork mod screen. From there, I tried to flash a new rom, but it never worked. First it told me I had the wrong rom for the phone I was using, so I downloaded a different one that said it would work for 1897, but it would fail during the flash. Now, it won't boot at all. It goes to the 'at&t World Phone' screen and stays there. I've tried Vol +, Vol- and Power together, but no change. Help?

What did you try to flash? Also, what was installed on the phone before you tried flashing it?
If you can get it in download mode, you can use Odin to flash stock ROM (without bootloaders if you were on GB and up). That should get you back up and running.
If the button combos don't get you in download mode, you'll have to make or buy a jig.
i was planning on flashing a custom rom on my galaxy s6 today but at work i watched a video on how to get twrp recovery, so i downloaded it on to my phone, followed every direction and step using flashify then when i installed twrp and rebooted my phone it got stuck at the boot load screen, i cant even go to recovery mode nor download mode, everytime i hold the power button and volume rockers it just cuts off and boots back to boot loop cuts off boot loop and so on, idk what to do can someone please help
Slow down, take your time. This is not a permi-brick. Just go back, start at step 1, and try again. There is hope. There must be a way to get into recovery.
I'm having the same exact issue, I'm able to get into download mode by holding volume up, home and power buttons. I'm downloading the stock firmware now and I'm going to try to flash it with odin to see if it works.

If you two can't get into download mode for whatever reason get odin to the point it says waiting for phone or connection or whatever it says then let it boot loop a couple times with the phone plugged in (preferably start from a powered off state). This might just have been lg but for some reason I remember odin rebooting my phone into download mode if the program was at that point.
*edit*
I feel like I wasn't clear enough. You want the tar ball loaded and hit start before you plug the phone in. I could be way off but it's worth a try.
Would thoroughly appreciate any kind assistance. I have a note 5 model no SM-N920I. I come from Singapore, and this phone is unbranded (not carrier specific). What happened was, i received an OTA update and thus went ahead with downloading the update. Immediately upon successful update, my phone started crashing and constantly rebooting on its own. Until one fine day it crashed and went into bootloop.
After which, i had attempted to reflash stock Firmware using Smartswitch. It was successful but the phone was still stuck in bootloop. Any attempts to force the phone into recovery mode (home + vol up + power button) was not successful. I couldnt even switch off my phone, with the screen stuck on the samsung screen, untill the battery drained. Any attempts to charge the phone would cause the phone to turn on but stuck on the samsung screen. Able to go into download mode, and already checked the vol up button is not faulty.
Attempted to reflash stock via ODIN, was successful also, but still in bootloop and unable to force into recovery mode.
Phone had never been tampered with before this issue, never rooted,never messed with. Appreciate any help offered. Thanks

Hold both the volume down and power button at the same time until the screen turns off, when it turns back on use the volume down button to select factory reset and then tap the home button and follow through with it.
At this point you can flash the twrp recovery from Odin. My be that recovery works for you and in this you can wipe the phone.
Hello. I am new here and sorry if broke any rules.
I have note 5 n920L. Bought it used. Received update 7.0. After it, it worked for 2 days and than started working slowly. Restarted and after restart I saw blue screen - "installing system updates". The same screen was for 10 hours. It could not load into recovery mode for wiping. It could not install firmware from download mode. Cannot add here photos because do not have 10 posts.
When trying installing firmware, odin stops on system.img.
When trying recovery mode, it does not enters there.
I see recovery mode after hours trying installing system updates. When I click on wipe data or cache, I have errors:
no support single - sku
supported api: 3
dm-verify verification failed
e: failed to mount cache (invalid argument)
e: cannot mount cache recovery last install and many other similar errors
FRP IS LOCKED. STATUS IS CUSTOM (do not know how and why, if it was custom could not receive update..)
If you can get into download mode you should try Samsung smart switch.
Samsung smart swithc writes that the this device is ot supported. Why it writes so, do not know. It is original n920L
Try this.

bro use kies to recover your phone but all data will be lose if u do this format.
Get your model , serial and IMEI number
If you can go to download mode then flash.... twrp-3.0.2-2-noblelte.img .... (Google plz) by putting the file in ODIN (AP) and flsh it. Then u can go in TWRP mode. Once u go in TWRP mode then u can connect ur phone to PC & put any custom rom depending on model u have & flash the custom rom. Later u can download the latest firmware from sammobile & flash the stock rom.
Another Solution: if u have flashed stock rom or reflashed the rom but giving same bootloop problem then Use 3 fingers i.e. volume up-volume down-power button and press it till the samsung logo starts flashing. Immediately again using 3 fingers press volume up- power- home button for long time till u get stock recovery. U have to do this the time when samsung logo goes off. Now from stock recovery wipe cache, dalvik and then select factory reset and then power off. Later put ur phone ON and around 20 minutes Ur phone will start with the latest stock rom.
I had same problem on my 920C & 920i model but both were saved by the procedure given above.
Need a clearer understanding of the steps needed

Ok i get the holding vol down and power button pert(simulate battery removal) and the screen will go off, before coming back on, but correct me if im wrong, u want me to continue holding down the vol down button all the way and the phone will provide options to factory reset? Sorry im not too good at reading between the lines...
Would it really work with KIES?

Wow thats detailed man. Appreciate the effort taken. Will head home, have a more in-depth read, and try out the steps. Will update if successful. Thanks again mate.
Kies is not supported for newer models than note 4 and s4 are. Is not it right?

The time u flashed the rom before the bootloop started did u checked in ODIN the GREEN BLOCK with PASS!!! written. If yes then U do not have any FRP lock problem or else the rom could not be flashed anyhow.
And if ur getting the bootloop this means the rom has been flashed but stuck on Samsung logo for several minutes. In this case im sure ur phone can go in stock recovery. Just send the image of the phone when it says FRP lock.
It wrote fail. Cannot flash firmware too, it stucks on system img.

I recently unrooted my phone but then tried to reroot again using ODIN, i tried to flash a CF Autoroot file on odin i found online and disabled autoreboot like it said
since then my phone will boot at all, it is stuck on the samsung boot screen and will not go anywhere, it will not let me into recovery and it will not let me into download mode, when i hold volume down and power it just reboots back to this screen.
after waiting over 14 hours i finally think i've managed to drain the battery, the issue is when i charge the phone again it switches itself on automatically for some reason and goes straight to that screen, i haven't tried to connect it to a computer yet as im at work and not at home.
please help, anyone have any ideas how i could fix this or is it fully bricked? I've rooted multiple phones in the past including this one and never had any issues, i've soft bricked before but managed to just get back into custom recovery, obviously i cant do this this time as the phone isnt rooted
thanks

its probably just a case of having to hold the bixby button, vol down, and pwr at the same time for long enough. also, try holding all 3, and releasing only the power button. May have to do this a few times, but hard-bricked devices dont even usually show the samsung logo

cf autoroot dosent exist for n960f. you flashed something that isint for the note 9. your recovery is probably screwed up because if this.
dl mode should still be accessible. search and read.
Open Odin with stock firmware and take the down button and Bixby button at the same time put your cable on the phone to go on dowloand mode
---------- Post added at 09:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 PM ----------
And flash the latest stock firmware for your version
connect usb cable to pc and hold vol down+ bixby+power button together. when your phone screen goes black to reboot insert usb cable to phone and release power button only it will go to download mode. this is the only way to get in download mode when phone stuck on samsung screen or is in bootloop. or let the battery drain out and phone turn off. Then hold vol down + bixby button and insert usb cable in phone. Do not press power button. it should go in download mode.
