Hi all,
My MIL has an s20 FE 5G. it was apparently downloading an update last month when it just froze. It goes into a bootloop, and i've tried factory reset, flashing new firmware via ODIN, and anything else i can think of(i'm no tech genius, but i can follow instructions pretty well). It will only ever bootloop a couple times, then go blank until i restart it in either bootloader, recovery or download mode. She has another phone, but is this one now just a brick, or is there something else i can do?
attached are some pictures that show basically everything i can see.
thanks
you say it froze when downloading but that shouldn't be an issue, it's once it's started flashing that update you don't want it freezing.
you didn't say what happens when you tried flashing with Odin. obviously it failed but that could be because you were flashing the wrong fw or fw that's too old now. it should say something in the Odin onscreen log for why it failed.

Hi,
I'll send a picture later when I get a chance, but it's apparently flashing just fine..I get no error messages from Odin. It states success, but then the phone just continues with the bootloop when I restart

that's got me that one. all I can think is try rebooting to recovery after the flash and factory reset / wipe
any update on this ?

Nothing. Sorry, I've just been busy, but I tried wiping the cache, and factory reset. Same result sadly

Hi again,
just tried again. no luck.
you don't need to flash userdata just BL, AP, CP and CSC. if it's still looping it could be a hardware failure of some kind, time to use that warranty.

Hello again
tried again, no luck. might be time to give up. i had read a few places that using the actual samsung cord could make a difference. is this true, even though its flashing just fine?

if it's saying PASS there's nothing more that needs to happen normally.
take it to get looked at, that's why we have warranties.

Hey guys, i need some help, its rather urgent.
I was trying to do a lag fix. It said it didn't work, and proceeded to restart.
went to the i9000 screen for 3 second, and just kept restating. can't get into recovery anymore. i got into download mode, and tried to flash back to stock with odin. odin said everything worked, but its still stuck in the same boot screen loop.
Any ideas? Is it the internal SD card? It is a bell i9000.
Thank you in advance.
Most dedinately the infamous corrupt SD issue. You're on 2.2 which is why it loops at the i9000m screen. If you flash 2.1 it will get to the glowing s screen then the screen will go black and it will stay like that.
You need to take it in for repair. There are many threads on this issue and other user experiences with the repair process

well, i was on a 2.2 rom. and i had just reflashed, because i was starting to get a lot of force close errors. So i reflashed. all went well. when i went to do the lag fix, it said, can't find file ( don't remmber what its called, something like bh1h1.. something like that.. which most posts say is SD card failure) then went to reboot. it shows the GALAXY S i9000 screen, then reboots again. i can;t get into recovery anymore. i can get into download mode. i try flashing with odin Odin says everything is flashed and that it worked, giving me no errors, but the phone is still stuck in the same boot loop. Thx for the help.

Hey everyone
I've got a Galaxy S3 Mini GT-I8190N and I've got a huge problem.
It first started out with me trying to root my phone, everything seemed to go well until i tried to turn my phone on, which resulted in it being stuck on the samsung logo, I snooped around the internet trying to find a solution and was recommended to reflash with different tar files but nothing worked. I tried to reset to factory settings through recovery mode but I couldn't even access the recovery mode. I then tried to get back to factory settings using Samsung Kies but after the whole installation it didn't seem to work either. I tried almost everything possible, I checked out every link on the first page of google relating to my problem yet nothing works. The only thing I can do is enter download mode and that's it.
I wasn't aware of how rooting actually works and simply followed a tutorial on CNet (I can't post a link yet as I haven't reached 10 posts). Not sure if this helps but so far that's all I can remember from memory, if you need more info i'll happily share that.
download a new rom and install it per Odin (when i have this problem i do flash infected rom then i come in the recovery and restore my backup)

I'm rather inexperienced with this whole rooting thing, if you don't mind, could you link me to the correct rom? I don't wanna mess things up again.
Would be greatly appreciated.

Did you flashed firmware for N variant, and no special carrier firmware downloaded? Did it gave "pass" on odin?
If yes, try to reflash it and wait a little more to reboot (maybe)

your carrier is (EE)?? or it is unlocked sim??? if you do not have a special carrier download this http://www.hotfile.com/dl/189236485/5a4d305/I8190NXXALL6_I8190NOXXALL3_BTU.zip.html.
regarding odin leave it at default. only "auto reboot" and "F. reset time" are ticked. put extracted (.tar) in pda.
it takes time to boot after completion.
Edit: if still doesnt work, i think you need stock recovery flashed on your device

It takes time? For me it reboots as soon as it says Pass on odin, could that be part of the problem?

but you didnt answer my question about your carrier. because you flashed (EE) carrier. if it is not your carrier so flash UK (BTU). it is for unlocked sim

Well, my sim card is T Mobile but my network was switched to EE.
I heard that having MicroSD's and SIM cards inserted while flashing could cause problems, should I keep them both in or out?

I tried all kinds of recovery attempts and none of them worked.
If it is still under warranty, try to replace it
You must be flashed wrong root file from the first. Usually, flashing stock firmware could solve this problem.
Hello.
I have a diffrent kind of problem.
So yesterday i saw on my phone that headphones icon is on but it's not connected of course so i thought maybe wrong flash or something with system.
Of course i have bad luck to devices such as i8190 and when i tried to go in download mode it wouldnt start.
I searched forum and other site and tried to force download mode by adb tool and after that flash it by odin.
Of course my bad luck kicked me in the a.. and adb tool can't boot it too.
So i tought (maybe) other combinations of button then i pressed volume up and power and then i see a text POWER OFF, UNKNOWN UPLOAD MODE.
Desperate by such thing i tried to do something with cwm of course my rooted phone lose (by some mean) superuser not just program but whole root when to trash with cwm and other things...Tried to factory reset by phone aplication didnt do anything by deleting all ringtones and options i had.
I have android 4.1.1 no root, no means to go in to recovery mode no means to get in download mode.
Dont know what to do to returned it to good state.
So my question is please. Can somebody help me ?
Greetings from Poland!

Yep i tried that but i manage to force it by adb by some miracle dunno what happen earlier but now after flash i have problem with that headphone icon. I flashed it with 4.1.2 maybe wipe and param files do something.
When i boot phone it's alright but after fully started its shows its connected to headphones while headphones are off and ringtones play alright but media is playing in headphones mode so i will try to degrade it with firmware 4.1.1 xxall maybe something will change or happily it will be okay.
If someone have idea for this please reply
Strange bug I've never heard of before. Have you tried to make a factory reset from recovery?
Also do a factory reset before you downgrade from 4.1.2 to 4.1.1, otherwise you'll end up with bootloop or force closing apps.

You can boot into recovery with bixby + vol up + power. And then inside recovery it should say something like:
Reboot to system
Reboot to bootloader
Update from zip
Update from adb sideload
Wipe Cache <-- choose this one.
Factory reset
Mount system
Graphic test
Recovery log
Etc.
But I'd recommend a firmware recovery with Smart Switch. Or a full reflash with Odin. You just have to use all files inside Odin and choose CSC instead of HOME_CSC. This way Your phone will be fully wiped etc. Backup Your data before cause You will lose all Your data. Including internal storage files.
Also, using Odin sometimes can trip Your knox for no reason. So be careful. Try Smart Switch first .

@magyosha
Someone else had this issue with an S8, it was only showing 16 gigs of internal storage on a 64GB unit, a factory reset fixed it and it went back to normal.
You could try doing a factory reset in recovery, if that doesn't work, flash the newest available stock ROM using Odin, and use the CSC_OXM file, not HOME_CSC since that won't wipe your phone.
after flashing your partitions may be messed up. whatever you flashed may created a separate partition to run on.
The problem actually exists. However, the fix is relatively easy. Most times it is caused by a CFW as the geeks here have rightly said. Inthe rarest of situations, it occurs due to a buggy back up from an older phone via the smart switch. To solve this, you really need to hard reset your phone through the recovery menu. This article explains it in the simplest form. https://www.lemmymorgan.com/solve-note-8-32gb-storage-problem/

The problem is that once I boot in recovery it never gets passed that no command error screen. and once it gets at that point there is no coming back.
Phone never starts again and I have to flash firmware again(without CSC , or it fails to even start).
When i turn my phone on flashes red secure check fail modem and wont go any further is there any way to fix this issue? Any help would be much apperciated thanks.

Has this just happened randomly? Was you updating? Flashing with Odin?
If it was me, I would factory reset in recovery (hold power, bixby and volume up at the same time. It will say something, which I can not remember but just wait a minute and recovery will pop up, then choose factory reset) If that failed I would flash the stock image with Odin.
I am sure someone else would have a better suggestion, this is just what I would do. I am a noob btw.
Thanks 4 the reply. Happend after failed samfail root attempt. Still does it after factory reset and after flashing stock rom
