Edit:
Had the exact same thing happen to me, but its just a bad flash.
Download the JM6 zip (in the development forum) and flash it via Odin. after the device has rebooted, if the previous apps havent been deleted, go into recovery and perform a factory reset and reboot again

Read my above post. Go into download mode (volume down + home + power) you'll still have the same image but the phone WILL be in download mode. Then flash your previous firmware and you're sorted.

You probably got that by messing with the kernel. Fund the zImage from the firmware, extract it with a .tar extractor then use something like heimdall to flash the kernel and it should work.

Hi. I'm looking for solution for my problem but nothing has helped me. I cannot restart mu GTab or put it in download mode. I always land into Android system recovery <3e>.
My problem: I cannot restart my GTab anymore. It started when I wanted to do a backup with ROM Manager. Unfortunately EURO TAB isn't supported yet. Then I want to find out whether nandroid backup is possible. From ROM manager I booted into recovery. But there isn't nandroid backup. And now I cannot boot GTab anymore. Every time I restart it brings me back to Android system recovery <3e>. I would be grateful for every solution.

Help please

Having the same problem too... anyone can help?

If you see Phone-!-Pc on the Tab screen it is the download mode.
You can reflash it using Odin, however, you will need to do full Rom flash. I had similar problem and solved it by replashing.
I followed the latest guide published in this forum and Roto-JME rom with reformatting of internal sd.

Where can i download the JM6 zip??

Hey guys,
I tried to manually update my tab to Gingerbread today via Odin, but it kept hanging on select partition (I discovered I used the wrong PIT for the firmware I was going to flash, but as I didn't select the firmware yet that shouldn't be a problem). At last I decided to quit Odin (which might have been stupid...) and try it again. Then it kept haning even earlier, so I tried to restart the device in download mode. However, whatever I try it keeps giving the Phone ! PC sign. If I try to just boot, if I try to go into recovery mode or if I try to go into download mode. I saw a lot of possible ways to solve the problem, but my PC doesn't recognize the tab anymore. If I connect it, it does give the "usb device connected" sound, but there is a popup which sais "USB Device not recognized. One of the USB Devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message". I already tried to reinstall the driver but it doesn't work. Also Odin and Heimdall don't detect any device.
Does anyone know a solution for this problem? Maybe taking the battery out? (for which I have to buy a new triangle screwdriver, so I need to know if it could possibly work first. It takes some weeks to order such a thing I think...)
EDIT: I played around a bit with the drivers again, and suddenly both Heimdall and Odin recognized it. However Odin stopped recognizing it again. Then I pressed "read PIT" in Heimdall, which worked. After that the device started booting up to the Samsung logo animation and then powered off again. Now it doesn't do anything anymore, not even showing the Phone ! PC screen. I'll charge it overnight (maybe it's gone empty during the process), so I hope that helps.....

In some strange way, the phone works again..... So never mind my post above.

Bricked or Boot loop - help needed

Hi people!
I got bricked my galaxy mini gt-s5570, but not totaly (that means I can still use the download mode, and RAMDUMP ARM9 mode) but I can't power up the phone. That happened after I used ODIN for gt-s5570 and changed the Kernel (I forgot to make backup before), and device was working well with the new kernel, but after it I use the same step in ODIN to get back to the old one. So the result is, when I'm pushing the power key the screen starts to blinks and nothing more! But as I say download mode, and ARM9 mode are still working. Any solution for this?

just download the new firmware from samfirmware.com n flash it thru odin as u can go to download mode..n ur phone will be back to life again..
i accidently pressed thanks on ur first post

I can't, I don't have access to recovery mode, it doesn't work!

I mean even when I flash an official rom with Odin, I still have the same problem, I am trying this since three days now and noway...

i think you tried to upgrade firmware not boot whenever you upgrade firmware it cant be downgrade it can just be more upgraded when you downgrade your firmware it will not boot up it will just show a black screen so just reinstall the firmware again and do not try to downgrade it

Stuck on the Samsung boot animation after disabling SuperUser on rooted N920C

I have been trying to fix the random reboots that came with the SpaceX kernal for Note 5 N920C and now I cannot boot my phone.
I have tried wiping all data and clearing cache. I cannot find a stock kernel.

Your phone should now tell you that you have no operating system. And that should be why you're stuck in a bootloop. In this case you will need to install the original firmware back on your phone and start the rooting process over again. The easiest way to reinstall the original operating system is to use Samsung Smart Switch on PC.

I'm not sure where my phone is from and I need to know that on Sammobile to get the right firmware. On my warranty card under Country it says Pays, [Some Arabic writing].

If you use Samsung Smart Switch, it will ask you for the model of your phone, and the Serial number. Then it will find the right firmware for you. The way you would get to that information on your phone is to boot in download mode.
"While the phone is off, press and hold the volume down button, power button, and home button at the same time. As soon as the phone starts to boot, let go of the power button while STILL holding the volume down, and home button."
Your phone should boot into a minty greenish screen. Press the volume down button again and it should give you the SN for the phone. That should help in locating the correct firmware for your phone.

Flash my SkyHigh kernel and should boot. Will auto root again.
Link ? Search. ..

If you mean the SM number, I have that along with an IMEI and other information that came with the phone. Right now my problems seem to be:
Cannot flash any custom ROMs because I get stuck on "NAND write start!!" on ODIN. I have tried multiple ROMs, multiple USB ports and multiple versions of ODIN.
My computer drivers for my phone seem to fail after about a minute of using my phone causing my phone to be seen as an unrecognized device. I have tried re-installing the drivers many times.
When I go into smart switch it never recognizes my phone. When I plug it in on the Download Screen it just says "Connecting..." and eventually says my device is unsupported.

Okay, here is an update.
I tried initializing my phone after smart switch failed to connect to my device and after putting in a serial and model name it says that the N920C does not support initializing.

hi,
As far as i know Smart Switch does not support./work on rooted devices..?
I might be wrong, but this is what i have read in other similar threads/post in past.
Plse check, this fact to be sure, otherwise you wasting time trying to get it to work.
Good luck
post note.
Stock kernel is included in stock Rom.
If you try to flash old stock Rom it apparently won't work(re bootloader updated etc) . It has to be the correct latest stock Rom for your particular device! not just any Rom..?
I also noted it has to be Odin v 3. 10.7 ? something /i believe.
plse note
i can't really say for sure as,
My Note5 is not rooted...... yet all my other devices ..... Note 2.. 3....4 is !
O, yes i also have N920 C device (not rooted) and Smart Switch works fine.

It kind of sounds like zit is a driver problem. You said you did a full wipe of data and operating system on phone. So I wonder if it could also be the type of firmware you are trying to install? I would try to install a fresh copy of the new stuff firmware from Sam mobile or smart switch in order to make sure all the drivers are pm running properly. @wilcor I agree with you 100%. I am a little confused as to why the phone would fail when installing roms or fresh firmware??

Ok, thanks everybody I eventually got this problem sorted. I called samsung and they told me what country my device was from and after that I made sure I used ODIN 3.10.7 and the ROM for AFGHANISTAN and it installed successfully. Thank you for all your help.

Reverting to CRK1

I need some help getting back to CRK1. I updated to DRL7 using the Update.zip method, and now when i try to odin the crk1 files back it just fails after it says "Setup Connection".
I don't get an error Flash
I've wiped both in the phone and in recovery
I've tried downloading the CRK1 files from two different sources
Ive tried an "official" odin and a "modded Odin"
I've tried USB 2.0 port and USB 3.0 port
I've used CSC Home and NON Home
I don't know what the hell is blocking me, or if I'm doing it wrong. Am i just doomed to stay on this dead end beta forever? Biometrics stop working in the background and i have to restart my phone to get in to it without using my damn passwords (Apps too) and my banking app just doesn't work on it in General after the update. I even wiped it and reinstalled and I need my bank app.

Not a problem. Make sure Laptop is on charge while you use odin and phone is also more than 50%. I also had this issue once. I hope it will help you.

If it's on windows 10 that's the problem. You need to use windows 7. I don't know why but that's what a lot of people are running into.

My pc at work and home are v10....................must be another way.

Try a different windows 10 then because it's working on some but not others.. I had to install windows 7 in a virtual machine on my Ubuntu server in order to flash back because it wouldn't work on Vista either..

Tried with my work PC and home PC, no success.

If you're downgrading, you'll have to do a factory reset or you'll get a bootloop.

I just want to get out of the bootloop..............know where I can get the previous version of the stock rom that I can try via Odin? the one we got in November would be what I am looking for...................I can get into downloader mode so that's what I want to try

Did you try to get into Recovery mode and then delete cache and then do factory reset? Or are you saying that you are stuck on the download screen and can't turn the phone off?
I just did the Odin on mine to go from DRL7 back to CRK1. When using Odin (regular, not patched) I did it on my Win10 laptop. I ran Odin as an administrator and it worked perfectly first time. I did unselect the Auto Reboot option. I waited until Odin ran all the way through until it gave me the success and it said Pass. I unplugged the USB cord and manually restarted. It started off in a strange looking download screen and said error. I was able to get it to turn off and went into the recovery mode where I deleted cache and did the factory reset. This time when I rebooted the system, it started all the way up.

I was able to get the Odin to work and pass......I unplugged and it rebooted on its own, however, it would get to the logo, then Sprint logo screen, then show the dialogue "optimizing android apps"......but reboot again, same process over and over........never could get it to power off. I would do the combination of button presses for recovery and wouldn't work no matter how many times I tried. I could do the button presses to get to downloader mode and then once I hit cancel, it would go back to the reboot loop again. I even went to a nearby Sprint store and the techie there did the same as me, no success. He recommended that I take to one of the repair Sprint stores since they have the capability to connect it to a computer. I ended up going back home and trying some more. Finally, after six hours of phone not able to boot correctly, I got it into recovery mode. I had started hitting the Bixby button repeatedly with either volume up or down pressed at the same time..........then while still hitting the Bixby button, I pressed the volume up/down buttons and held them both down at the same time..............then viola, recovery mode! I was able from that point to apply the DRL7 update that was already on my device.......so finally got back up and running. Very thankful I got it back up in time because when it did boot up, battery was down to 13%............if the battery had drained completely, not sure what I could have done.

[Q/A] phone soft bricked / can't flash with odin either

Hi everyone, I was using this forum for a long time but this is the first post I've ever written.
Let me explain my problem:
I was rooting my SM-M215F/DSN and Odin gone mad for some reason and bricked the phone. Now phone is on a loop with screen sayin "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function." Usually I can fix this kind of situations but this time I cannot fix this and hope someone can help me with it. This was not my first ROOT but for this phone it was.
These are the things I've already tried:
1) Tried to reboot phone to download mode. After pressing Volume (-) & Power it don't let me do anything and goes back to that warning screen directly.
2) Drained all battery power to kill phone, but when I connect it to grid it goes back to that screen again.
3) Used emergency recovery with Smart Switch but get an error "SM-M215F does not support initializing"
4) Odin cannot connect to phone in this mode so it cannot turn back to stock firmware
5) Someone has told in this forum that it's another kind of download mode and use Heimdall. I've tried it and it detects the device but while downloading .pit file it gives "ERROR: Failed to access device. libusb error: -12". I am a little bit n00b on Heimdall so I gave up.
So if anyone can help I will be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.

After a real struggle I've found my own solution so need to share with community.
Tenoshare ReiBoot for Android free version let me exit from download mode.
Hope this helps.
