[HELP] phone stuck booting after TWRP - Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers

Samsung A6
Model: SM-A600FN
Android 10
So, I am pretty new to rooting. I tried to root my SM-A600FN. I succesfully (?) installed the TWRP.tar via Odin and got it started. I then proceeded to press the wipe and data partition buttons, and installed that no-verity-opt-encyrpt file. Then I pressed the delete cache and davik button and restarted the system without installing the twrp app. What happened next was me being stuck in a bootloop (is what its called I believe), which means phone kept restarting. I thought that might be because of me having used a wrong .tar so I downloaded another one that might work. Tried flashing the new .tar onto my phone with odin. It said pass but now the phone is stuck in the Samsung logo, without opening TWRP. I have no idea why, I cant use the button combo to go into download mode or recovery mode and the only way for it to turn off was to wait for its battery to drain. After reconnecting it to the power grid the same thing happened. Although I consider myself technic literate, I have no idea how anything related to Linux distributions works, including android so I hope someone can help me get my phone back, even if it means factory resetting. I had OEM and USB debugging activated. The phone is android 10. Screenshots won´t be of much use but I guess I can upload the files if that helps

Alright, sorry and thanks for moving the thread

Are you sure that you've used correct build of TWRP? Try this at first:
Releases · samsungexynos7870/android_device_samsung_a6lte
Contribute to samsungexynos7870/android_device_samsung_a6lte development by creating an account on GitHub.
github.com
If build above will work properly you can try unofficial build of TWRP 3.7.0:
recovery (2).img
drive.google.com

Thank you for your reply, my problem is that I can´t flash my phone anymore. I think its soft bricked but I cant seem to be able to enter download mode. I will try to force download mode with a usb jig soon. I hope it´ll work. If I could get into download mode I am certain that I´d be able to flash the correct ROM

That's the thing you should do. So let your phone to fully discharge and when it will be turned off, then press vol+ and vol- and then plug in USB cable connected directly to PC - phone should after that turn on straight into download mode.

[SOLVED] Stuck in Recovery

Have a revo, flashed gingervolt on it and now it just boots into recovery everytime I boot. I've tried flashing stock on it, that stock gingerbread that has the boot and the system in it... nothing works... just keeps going into recovery. (Clockworkmod Recovery). In addition when I try power and volume up nothing happens, goes into Clockworkmod not the LG recovery.
I have no idea what to do Any help would be appreciated.
Forget it... you know I searched for 10 or 15 minutes easy looking for the solution. I post the question, and 5 minutes later (ok 15 or so) I find the answer in another thread. Thanks anyway (Haven't tried the solution but it looks solid).

LG Phoenix Boot Errors

Hey all, Let me start by apologizing for not posting this in the right place (More than likely). i didnt see any threads for LG p505 Phoenix.
On to buisness, i had an error booting into ClockWorkMod Recovery. My phone is booting incorrectly ever since. ive tried to take the battery out and replace it, but that didnt work. I tried to follow some repair work listed on the forums, but i need further assistance. ive gotten as far as the SDK dev package and attempting to restart the bootloader, but no luck. it keeps saying it cant detect the device. the computer recognizes it as ASUS Android Bootloader Interface. Any help?
Where did you learn how to put CWM on you phone? If it wasn't here, why not try those forums where you did?

http://forums.androidcentral.com/t-lg-phoenix-thrive/
Well, i got CWM on my phone via the Rom Manager App on the Market. but, after toying around with my phone trying to fix it, it appears that it is stuck on the bootloader, and not CWM. when it DOES "boot up", it only displays lines of code that varies when i plug it into a power source or my PC.
Are you rooted?
yeah i am. couldnt have gotten this far without that step.

Just didn't want you thinking you could flash cwm by installing rom manager.
What exactly is going on. Give lots of details.
* iTouched Epic
Well, good for you. im such a rookie that would be entirely possible. lol. anywho, i asked for help on another forum, who a couple people on have some experience with programing and such, and i pretty much explained everything there is to explain there.
however, the website wont let me post a link to said post, so im going to try to copy/paste because i REALLY dont feel like typing all that out again if i dont have to.
Copy link and put (dot) as the dot .
* iTouched Epic
the story is, i tried to boot my phone (LG phoenix [p505], running CarloROM, standard Kernnel) into ClockWorkMod Recovery Mode, but upon booting up, teh device went to a black screen, save for a couple words, most partial. the readable text says "UDC_Start()". on pluging it into the PC, it displays the following text:
-- suspend --
-- reset --
EP1/out FAIL nfo=40 pg0=74000
-- portchange --
usb_read() transaction failed
-- reset --
-- portchange --
fastboot: oops !
fastboot: Processing commands
i am trying to utilize the only fix ive found, which is to reboot the bootloader via andriod developer debug window. i tell the command prompt to run the "adb reboot bootloader" function but it says it cant find the device.
it also appears on the PC as "ASUS android bootloader interface"

here's all the details ive got thus far
Try flashing stock recovery on it. Flash back to complete stock. Did you check to make sure cwm was compatible with your device?
Was the other forum not helpful to you?

First, not the other forum isnt helping as it's a small user group and no one's responded yet. second, as previously stated, after posting this thread, ive determined that the phone did NOT boot to CWM. and second, yes, CWM is compatable and has worked in the past. i heard about it from someone that has used it on his p505 and it works perfectly.
There are a lot of devices that only run a modded version of cwm. I have a Samsung intercept that won't run with standard cwm.
* iTouched Epic
people on the android central forum you posted a link to say the phoenix runs just fine with standard CWM
Did you try flashing the touch version of cwm? My epic touch sgsll bricks with that?
* iTouched Epic
i rooted my phone, downloaded ROM Manager, gave it Super user permissions, and flashed Optimus One (Old BaseBand). exactly as instructed.
Where did you learn about doing this? You said you tried asking on another forum. What did they say? Did you try what they said? Have you tried what I said about going stock?
* iTouched Epic
i learned all this from here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/t-lg-phoenix-thrive/138186-how-clock-workrecovery-mod-cwm.html
no one has responded on the other forum as previously stated
i have learned that my device is booting to the bootloader, not CWM, also as previously stated.
thus, flashing a new ROM of any sort is impossible.

You never said you didn't get any responses from the other forum. If you posted the question yesterday and gave it a couple hours, no responses, then started flipping out cause your is phone is messed up and so you decided to join for the soul reason of using it as a technical support and post in off topic cause this site doesn't even develop (notice I didn't say support) your phone, I say you need to chill out and go back to other site and get a lil bit more in depth with your question. Cause honestly I would have overlooked your question with how it was written and the little information given. Those guys know about your bootloader. I don't. Not many here do. LG doesn't make flagship devices, hence why they're not here.
I can tell you that if nobody does help you, you need to read up on how to shell into the phone and flash something else like that.

Also, why waste an hour of my time? If you're gonna tell me to eff off, why not do it at the beginning?

I didn't tell you to f off, but, in all seriousness, I don't like it when people join this site just to ask a question.
Then you post in the wrong forum about a phone that isn't even developed on here.

You see, we don't mind helping people at all, it's the people that won't help themselves that get on people's nerves. Look man, I will help you as much as I can. But you have to be willing to help yourself, too. Finding threads like the one I posted above is what I mean by searching and reading on how to shell into the phone, using adb to fix your problems. You have a jacked up phone, don't get frustrated and mad at the world, calm down, chill out. You can fix it.

Need Help Restoring HTC: No OS, No TWRP Recovery

So I wanted to revert back to HTC Sense, but not enough careful reading caused me this, which I've been working on for hours now. I was on Cynogenmod before. Phone is S-ON, unlocked, and has TWRP installed, but the problem is there is no recovery. The other big problem is there is also no OS. Phone also is not detected by computer, so I can't just drag a file onto the phone and flash it again. Is buying a USB OTG cable the only option at this point?
This is the most common question asked about here, why not do some research about it?
same here, i have recovery but its not helping much. no OS and cant get in Download Mode to flash via Odin.

ODIN is for Samsung, this is HTC.
At the top of the Q&A section is a welcome message, and several stickies, may I invite you to start reading there
in particular the Frequently Asked Question sticky, and on page 3 you would see the answers you're looking for.
Alternatively, almost every other thread in here has the same situation, so please remember forum rules, and search and read.
Good luck, and post any other questions you may have here (please do not post in the FAQ sticky!!)
