S10 G973F Potentially bricked - Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers

So recently I was about to make the move to Lineage OS, away from OneUI, but my S10 was on ASF3 (June Patch). So my solution to try and skip past it all, was to goto Odin and flash the TWRP file via there (BIG MISTAKE). Anyways, I am now bootlooped and my phone no longer goes to download mode or recovery. I have seen other threads similar to this but their solutions haven't worked, so if anyone can help me, it would be very appreciated.

Yes, same happened to me yesterday. Press volume down + bixby while connecting to a PC - you'll jump into download mode.

Fairly difficult to brick a Samsung phone unless you don't flash the right firmware
Just do what the person said above and you'd be good to go.

Do exactly what the guy said

hard brick and bootloader loop

Hi guys,
I unlocked the Bootloader of my Razer I XT890. It worked perfectly fine, but then i messed up. I wanted to root the phone, but I used the root for the android 4.0.4 version while my phone has the 4.2 Jelly bean version.
Now the problem: My phone only show the Warning sign that the Bootloader is unlocked nothing else. It wont go further than that.
I can still accees the Fastboot Flash Mode window and tried to use the recovery option through the blue window mode, but nothing changed.
I assume its hard bricked. I checked other posts but didnt find something to similar.
Maybe you guys have some ideas, thanks.
flash your original firmware with RSD-Lite and your phone will be fine again

I downloaded RSD Lite, but where do I get the firmware from?
EDIT: I found the website with the firmwares and downloaded the EU and German ones. I used them in RSD Lite, but all failed. I bought the phone and live in germany. Which firmware do i need to use?
I got it fixed. I used a file uploaded by someone and it worked great. It was from another forum but if anyone who has the same problem wants to try it then I could upload it.
Requirement for that option is to be able to boot to Fastboot mode.
EDIT: and also if you cant boot to Fastboot mode and you are in a loop then try to hold your VOL down+power button together until ur phone vibrates then instantly take your finger of the power button and only hold your VOL down button until the Fastboot mode starts. Maybe that could help.

SM-N920P FRP (FAP) Lock, need help ASAP

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.

I tried multiple attempts but it doesn't work. Bootloop even though I tried to put into recovery mode. Nothing happend. Is it because of FRP lock? Or do I have to switch the rom or anything in the phone?

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.

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.

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

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.

Huawei P20 Pro ANYWAY TO Flashboot? Or bypass the FRP ?

Hi Everyone! Well, today is my time to ask for some help! :fingers-crossed:
I got my hands on a great looking Huawei P20 PRO, unfortunately the Phone is locked FRP... But as i had searched around, there was a method to bypass that by a simple bug they had on the "TALKBACK", like one week ago people was doing that bypass successfully , but this phone has a newer version of talk back, 7.1.x.x...
On the videos people have the previous 6.1.x.x version... That means i don't have the same "help" option as they have.
-After that i tried to get the phone into Fastboot mode, but i can't get the phone on that mode, i press volume down and hold for a while with the device turned off, then i plug the usb, and it just starts charging...
-I press Both vol up and vol down buttons with power at same time, it goes to a screen "EMUI" that says "SOFTWARE INSTALL FAILED! GET HELP FROM xxxx.EMUI COM/BLABLABLA) and says "Reboot system now"...i then press reboot now, and i does a regular reboot and starts up to select language etc, all good... BUT FRP locked...
- Then last night i tried to press VOLUME UP then plug the USB and it got into Erecovery mode, that gave me the option to download the latest version, wipe the current one, shutdown, or reboot... well i had nothing to lose and i did the first to download the latest version, after a 4gb download and install the phone is on the same situation, same version, same everything....
Makes me wonder if someone already done bad attempts before me.
Is there anyway to get the phone on Flashboot? Or bypass the FRP ?
Same
I have exactly the same
Any help????

S10e bootloop and no acces to recovery and Download mode... plzz help ! :'(

hi all. i just install the Beta of ONEUI 2 and android 10 on my S10e, (using the update.zip with adb in recevery) and now my S10e is "bootlooping" with no acces to recovery and download mode... impossible for me at the moment to reflash a clean ROM with odin... can you help? or my phone is definitivly DEAD??? :/ thx you all...
Maybe you tell the situation in the correct thread, where you load the firmware?
There more dudes, who flashed the rom and known the bug (soft brick?).
I use the official beta of the android 10 firmware & can't directly support.
Good luck.

To enter download mode, put usb cable into your phone, press and hold vol down button without bixby button, make sure your screen comes to black(total shut down if its on bootloop), then put the usb cable into your pc. It should detect your phone

Hi,the only thing you can do is reflash with odin.
It is because you had unlocked bootloader.
When you have unlocked bl and flash Q it will bootloop.
yesterday I had the same problem (update beta Q with BL unlock). I couldn't open either downloading mod or recovery. Bootloop. I left the phone "resting" overnight and tried again in the morning. Hold Volume- and Bixby together and then connect the PC cable. download mod opened(possibly a coincidence). Odin worked.

try letting the phone die then when bootloop stops inset cable and do the download mode combo, failing that when the device is looping does it connect sucsessfully to your computer because i had a similar experiance, at the samsung logo screen although display was looping adb commands did acually work, i then entered adb reboot download in cmd prompt and the download screen appeard and was odin compatible for a complete reflash of the firmware with magisk patched AP file
i hope this helps !! best of luck my friend

sorry, i don't know if it's been fixed but if have read the thread you will noticed that there isn't a quick fix until you wait till the device goes off, then either your boot into recovery mode (wipe, cache, reset and reboot) or download mode (flash stock rom with odin).

This is why I have hate not being take the battery out of a device. Atleast the S10 doesn't seem likes it's too hard, if it were me I probably just remove the back cover and pop the battery out rather than wait for the battery to die. The back cover seems to just snap off and on, almost like they could have just made it removable in the first place, but then of course too many people would just buy new batteries when they wear out rather than a new phone. Gotta love planned obsolescence.
