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?

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.

my phone has been frozen at the samsung i9000 screen ever since opening this app.... i am very new to this do not understand most concepts here.. ie. flashing a rom. If anyone can help me get my phone out of this state or has any suggestions on how i should fix this please comment.
if you can get into recovery mode try flasing another rom via cwm or flash it using odin and download mode (flashing non wipe roms via cwm might leave your apps and data intact)
What is the full name of the app? How did you try using it? Do you know what firmware version your phone is on?
First thing to try is turn off, remove battery sim and any microSD. leave five minutes and put all back in and turn on.

the app is galaxy s tweaks or something very simalar (black and white logo) the two options i was given in the app were "YES-BREAAAAK my phone" and "NO- Im not crazy" i selected no and then my phone just reset and wouldnt turn on again ive tried everything i can do without hooking up to a comp ( as far as i know) but thx for the advice
Where did you get this from? It does not seem to be in the market.
OK just found it. Have a read off all the comments. Not good.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/gst-(galaxy-s-tweaker)/com.pommedeterresautee.lagfix
You could try restart holding Home Vol up and Power button then choose Clear cache and Factory reset.
or
Try restart the phone holding home Vol down and press power button to get into recovery mode. then plug in and open Kies go to tools and firmware recovery.

Is telling me i need recovery code, I have never received one.
Just read this so it may work for you.
disconnect the phone from USB, pull the battery, replace it, boot into recovery mode and reconnect the phone. Go back to Kies and tools firmware recovery.
In other words repeat what you have done :-s
Original post on Android Forums.
The message indicated that I would need a recovery code that could be obtained later by clicking Tools | Firmware Emergency Recovery Menu.
I was then instructed to disconnect the phone, pull the battery, boot into recovery mode and reconnect the phone which I did. The phone would not reconnect. At this point I called Samsung tech support and wasn't impressed when I was simply told to repeat the procedure. But to my surprise, the upgrade was successful the second time around. Go figure! Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else ran into the recovery code message.

Hello, I have a SM-N920P with a custom FRP (FAP) Lock. I searched every forum and videos on YouTube to find out how I can unlock my phone. Most of the people downgrade the phone into 5.1.1 (Lolipop) or 6.0.1 (Masrshmellow) and the phone should boot to normal. However, I've used latest Odin (3.12) or Z3X Tool v27.2, and I cannot able to disable the FRP lock. I tried to used Z3X to disable the locked, but it kept saying "Searching Samsung USB Flash Interface... detected COM4
Setup connection... OK
Reading PIT from phone... OK
Searching FRP lock... OK
Erasing FRP... OK
Searching Reactivation lock... OK
Erasing Reactivation lock... error
Done with Samsung Tool PRO v.27.2"
Besides the FRP lock, I am unable to downgrade or using the stock ROM to flash the phone, it kept saying error and fail with various attempts. HOWEVER, I am able to flash my phone using the latest 7.0 Nougat (DQE1), and (DQC5). Yet, the phone keeps booting on a loop with a Samsung logo. This is a really rare case and I need anybody know more experience than me can help. Please reply ASAP and I'm looking forward for your reply. Thank you.
After flashing the stock 7.0 nougat. If it is in bootloop for 5-10 minutes. Power off your device. Go into recovery. Do a factory reset. Restart device.
Did you have any mods? I had the same problem yesterday. OEM Unlock was getting turned off and I don't know why. Just do a factory reset as the user above me said. Odin will not allow you to downgrade.
________
Hey, my phone is Sprint, too. My phone was getting the FRP lock after a few reboots. I have done several mods like TWRP, root by the latest Magisk, deodex, edge panels, csc tweaks...etc. The FRP lock debacle was on the newest Sprint build wich is DQF1. I downgraded to DQE1 and I noticed that OEM unlock was disabled. I guess that was the problem. In over 9 months of owning this unlocked phone, I didn't touch the OEM unlock. (I'm on a GSM Network)
BTW, OEM Unlock is located in Depeloper Options, to enable it you must enable developer options by going into the menu, search the build number and tap it several times.

Thank you, based on what you guys saying, I understand that Samsung won't let you downgrade. I able to boot up 7.0 Nougat firmware to the phone (DQE1), and (DQC5). However, I keep getting bootloop after using Odin to flash the phone, and FRP lock is still on. Is there any tickmarks on ODIN that I have to check such as "Nand erase", "Auto reboot", "Flash lock", "F-reset time" or anything in the tickmarks? Then, I couldn't access to the recovery mode (vol up + home + power ) after odin sucessful flashed my phone. Is it because I got stuck in a bootloop and I cannot turn off my phone? I tried to took the battery off so the phone can be turn off, then when I tried to go to recovery mode, it's a bootloop again...Please help, I'll try different ways in order to get the phone to work again. Thank you.

You dont need to take out the battery. In note 5 you can power off the device by pressing Power button + Volume down button at the same time.
Do a factory reset using recovery.

Thank you. You made it sound so easy. I able to turn off the phone, but I still cannot access to the recovery mode. Is it vol up + power button + home for recovery? That's what I do after flash the phone, turn it off, and still a boot loop. FRP still on if I go back to download mode. Are you sure my tickmarks on ODIN is right?

You dont need nand erase. Anyways seems like it wasnt the issue.
Power off device (Power + Volume Down)
Recovery (Power + Volume Up + Home)
Factory Reset.
Maybe try to flash again with only Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time TICKED.

Did you try flashing stock rom again? Tick only Auto Reboot and F. Reset time in Odin.
And keep in mind one thing. The first boot takes about 4-5 minutes.
Try flashing stock rom again if its still in bootloop then try going in recovery mode and do a factory reset.
If it still doesnt work then maybe I can help you through skype video.
Yea, I tried stock rom Nougat 7.0 for my N920P. Matter of fact, I tried to use other 7.0 firmware for the device but still the same. I can't downgrade like you mention. I continue to get bootloop, and I still cannot access to recovery mode no matter how I tried. It would be wonderful If you can do skype video.

Hello,
I tried to flash twrp on a stock i9305 through Odin.
It initially seemed unsuccessful (rebooting to stock recovery) until i rooted the phone and flashed twrp again.
From twrp i then tried to flash RR rom but it refused (don't remember detailed message). I decided to give up and reboot.
The phone stays stuck on samsung logo.
I removed the battery. Restarted with 'home+volDown+power'
All i can get is the screen telling me to press VolUP to flash a ROM. My issue is that the VolUP button does not work.
I tried to remove it and press with a pin to no avail.
I can't use adb (not recognized)
Odin sees the phone but can not flash anything as the phone is not in DL mode...
Any ideas ?
Thanks a lot!

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.
This message I get when I try to power up my Note 9 N960F/DS.
I got it this way: Been running the same ROM for 2 years. Time to upgrade. Upgraded TWRP via the app. After downloading the ROM image to SD card, I tapped an app called Reboot, with the Recovery option. I suspect this app is from some old installation, and ended up on this unit via data restore. Now all I get is this message on a black screen. No logo, nothing. Message flashes once. If I plug into PC, message flashes repeatedly. Cannot boot to recovery using Vol-+Pwr, Vol++Pwr ineffective.
I suspect I bricked the phone, but I seem to remember once breaking out of this 2 years back, I think. Any ideas, clues, anything?
Try this, power off phone. Press volume up and bixby button and while pressing buttons insert data cable, phone should go to downlaod mode. OPen odin and flash stock firmware.
OK, tried it, display showed the same message until I released the buttons, then flashed the message every 4 seconds until disconnected.
OK, got it into download mode, reflashed twrp, now it's in a boot loop. Will continue working this.
It took a few tries, but I not only got everything working, I restored my data backup and upgraded to Android 10. Thanks all!
