Hi. Ok so once your bootlooped yer pretty much borked.
So you can get into download mode?
I want to be sure you know how and what this is. Sorry if you take this the wrong way but your english is a bit scattered.
Ok dl mode: hold the home, power and volume down all at the same time.
There is no other way to achieve this other than a jig or possibly adb, that idk.
If you can get into dl mode your golden.
If kies isnt helping youre doing it wrong.
Odin is an option but lets try this first.
Please, dont get mad if you feel you tried this before.
First, re download thevusb drivers from samsung. "I already did that!"... trust me,
Do it again unless you are 1000000% sure they are current. Even then, uninstall and dl again to be safe.
Next get the current kies software.
Seems like you got this, but again make sure its the latest version.
So lets double check something.
Try again for ****s and giggles to get into recovery. Press the power, home and volume UP buttons all at the same time.
I know you know this has to be done when the phone is powered off.
We just want to see if your recovery is corrupted or not.
If you can get into recovery just do a factory reset.
This may or may not work.
Its ok.
Ok if it fails back to dl mode.
When you get to dl mode start kies.
Kies aint gonna do nothing but lag and hang if your phone and or recovery is fragged.
Youll need to go to the drop down menu in kies and choose:
"emergency firmware recovery"
its gonna ask you for phone model and such. Its then going to say
Plug your phone in or we it says
Put your phone in dl mode:
After you did the pwr, vol dwn, and home key, it brings you to a screen that says
Push up to cancel down to enter dl mode.
Again dont take offense if you know this.
Connectvyour phone to the pc and push the down button.
Give it time. This process can take upbto 20 min.
Once its done you shoyld now have a completly stock phone.
I highly recomend you remove your sd card for this.
Post back with results.
You can also try Odin.
Youll still need the latest samsung drivers.
Youll need the latest stock rom to flash.
Im sure others will chime in .
Good luck and post back

when i start the phone now give me black screen with battery shade ??
am i doing good or bad so far
please help me tep by step
Hey I replied back but you didnt answer.
But thats ok its better to keep this in the thread so thers can chime in and if we find a solution others who have this exact prob will find a fix.
As I wrote to you please confirm:
Your native language (maybe others who speak your tounge will better help)
I asked you what was the first thing you did with phone. (Root , any mods and exactly which rom.There are to many roms to be vague.)
I asked you what model you said rogers but above I noticed something about wind mobile?
First lesson: if you dont root your phone, you can NOT intsall a new rom, meaning you can ONLY do a factory reset, or install exact OEM (stock) rom viaodin or kies.
By the way . IM not gonna keep repeating "Kies Emergency Firmware Recovery" From now on when I say kies, im only talking about that function of kies.
So Example: A Rogers mobile, rooted or not, CANNOT have a wind, att, verizon tmobile or what ever installed. This is exactly why your phone is s-bricked. Like Bajanman said and as I told you if it powers on your good. Your just stuck.
This is called a bootloop; aka soft brick.
Also to complicate things more I am suspecting that you may have
Installed a custom kernel. Ooooops
Locked phones will def brick if you do that.
rage.jpg
As I said sometimes mobile phones are picky you may have to uninstall and reinstall : usb drivers, microsoft drivers, use different computer etc. Thats another thing; what computer and Operating System are you using?
PC right? What OS?
I dont have and despise face book but here are two other options.
If you live in the usa mail me your phone and ill take care of it.
Right now all other xda'rs are lulzing and gonna say dont do that.
:silly:
Understandably if you say no if you wanna dl yahoo or msn messenger we can do it that way.
The best thing to do dude is find a friend who speaks and understands english better than you and get them to translate
Or help.
If odin fails and kies EFR fails you are doing it wrong.
Even if your recoveryis corruptedit doesnt matter. If you can get
Into Download mode (its a two step process explained above)
Your phone can be fixed.
The other option is adb push and im sorry my fingers would fall off typing that out :lol:
You will have to do some leg work and research using adb to basically "force" the firmware into your partition. This is, c9rrefte if im wrong guys, basically what kies emergency recovery does but "automagically"
Why do I feel like mr miyagi : turn on! Turn off! Put in download mode..again! Now wax my hard drive! !
Do you have a camera? Pics or maybe a youtube vid would help.
Its 3am here im crashin.
I feel for ya bud.
:thumbup:
Edit: I just thought of something. Pull out your sd card and sim.
Dont put them back in until this is fixed.
This may even solve your problem.
From now on evey time you restart your phone pull out your battery and hold pkwer for a few seconds. No this is not a magic trick it just ensures most of the power is drained.

Just a silly obsevation here, but you tell them to pull the battery and then go into recovery with the proper key press sequence. You forgot to tell them to put the battery back in the step by step sequence. Picturing op sitting there and not getting it to power up because battery is sitting next to phone. like I said, silly but I have encountered sillier. I am confident op would put it back in, but......

:beer:
device not responding .
to solve the issue ,reboot the device ..
i did that 5 times and same issue bro
what i can do !!
What happens when you try to get into recovery? Describe the screen please.also describe exactly what happens when you the to the point if using the EFR.
You are doing the efr Right?
You are not doing the upgrade...correct?
You need to describe in more detail whats happening when its failing.
Just saying "its not working" makes it tough.
I still think youre doing something wrong.
Because the next step is to push the firmware and .....thats a bit more complicated.
Make sure you are NOT doing an upgrade, because before I made my pic guide you mentioned "I tried the upgrade".
You dont want to upgrade.
Keep trying dawg.
Please help me help you by explaining and describing the screen.
And so on.
Picsc would be better!
Describe the screen when you are in dl mode please. Remember dl mode is 2 parts.
Maybe some one else can chime in.
Theres gotta be someone in your area on these forums or others, who can maybe meet up and helpnyou in person?

Ok before I go all beserk-o n ****... I Just had a 800 dollar error.... Code 7 after installing this rom latest version [ROM][XXBLG9][12/08]CriskeloRomV6►15 Toggles ►AROMA ►OTA►NANDROID ON LINE!... and now I cannot reboot or go into download mode all i get is the QHSUSB_DLOAD.... HELP!!!
I'm no novice but this is definitely getting to me... Been searching and all I get is da' normal Hard Bricked BS... If you know something I don't or have not come across so far let me know
By the way here are the steps I took
1. Download ROM & Kitchen
2. Reboot into CWM recovery 5.0.2.8
3. Install from internal SD the ROM only
4. CODE 7 fair "aka WTF!?!?!?!?!"
5. Bask in failure
No lights, No nothing just plug in DLOAD BS........... arghhhhhhhh
She was a GALAXY SPH-L710 SIII SPRINT and I was just coming from flashing, then rooting and installing Busy Box (installing that also) and doing Super User permissions and all... So I was setup correctly... Didn't see a reason to backup data but it wouldn't have mattered in this case if I did anyway... arghhhhhhhh
BTW it gave me a "GAPPS Error" when I was copying it over to the phone... Think that was internal memory failing and I flashed a partially copied ROM because of this.... I OK'd it and continued to power off and boot into recovery?????
OH... There wasn't a SD Card in the phone either... Not that I think that matters all that much..
Here's another thread I started which is the ROM page.... Thanks to all that chime in...

Wrong ROM for Device ??? i9300 vs SPH-L710 US oh f*** I believe I just hit it on the head????????
Your first step is to turn the phone off and try to get into download mode (Vol Down+Home+Power), If you can still enter download mode, you are soft bricked and can recover.
So IF you can access download mode, watch this video, All the links you need will be in the description. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypmqJbZqOaU

Yes, you flashed an international ROM for a US variant.

QHSUSB_DLOAD=KISS OF DEATH. Congrats on tha new doorstop. Ignore the first post, I promise you aren't getting into download mode or any mode at that. The best unbrick service around http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-jtag-brick-repair/
Well, he did say he can't get in download mode, i guess there's no point telling him to do it in the conventional way. If that's the case, from what i read around your only chance is a usb jig to force that download mode (which you didn't say you tried). You can get them dirt cheap from ebay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Jig-Don...858103?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item46056ecc77
not recommending this link in particular, just showing they go for about a buck). For that price i'd def try it and you'll also get a very useful tool as benifit (reset flashing counters, etc...)
or even make one yourself (very easy too). Plenty of instructions about.
No harm in trying. Other than that, you'll need a repair center, i guess.

Ok I was following this root toolkit step by step..... everything seemed to be going smoothly, I was flashing Odin and when the phone powered off to reboot, nothing happened. It did not reboot and on the toolkit page it just says ``waiting for device to be detected``.... but nothing. I tried to power up the phone manually and nothing...for a split second an image of a completely drained battery with a ``loading circle`` in the center of the battery, but then it disappears and still nothing but a dead phone. I tried to boot the phone up holding the home button, volume down and power and a warning message comes up saying....
Warning: A custom OS can cause critical problems in phone and installed applications. If you want to download a custom OS, press the volume up key. Otherwise, press the volume down key to cancel and restart phone``
I tried the volume down and `` SAMSUNG`` appears for a split second then dead again.
Can somebody PLEASE help me....... Im so stupid...Ive had this brand new phone for less than 12 hours!! Thank you all in advance and I hope to hear from anyone. .
This is the toolkit I used was Samsung Galaxy Root Toolkit V3.0....SGS3 Snapdragon Toolkit V1.0
At the end of the steps it stated xda was the source so I figured it was legit.
Jeff
how long did you wait for the phone to reboot?
if you can get to the warning about the custom os again, that's a good sign. when you do that, press volume up and use odin to load a stock rooted rom and you should be fine.

What image would I flash if the phone WAS with Rogers but I unlocked the service carrier
Can someone please just tell me what to do. This is what ive done to it:
-Factory Rogers GalaxyS3
-used free online carrier unlock so I could use my Fido SIM.. (didnt know unlock was not necessary to go from Rogers to Fido)
-Idiot me used SGS3 International Root Toolkit from here - http://androidrootaccess.blogspot.ca/2012/07/rooting-samsung-galaxy-s3.html on a canadian model
-it didnt reboot back up after flashing Odin and cant get into recovery mode....only download screen in Odin Mode
WHAT DO I DO... someone please tell me what to do to either A) return it back to STOCK or B) ROOT IT Properly. Ive never done this before so telling me to go somewhere and download this and unzip it and yada yada yada means nothing to me. Can someone just give me a link to put into Odin that will make this all better....PLEASE... I havent even had this phone for 24 hours yet and I need it for work at 7pm tonight and its 930am now. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated.... and yes I know I sound pathetic and useless lol....Thanks in advance guys!!

PS- what if I use ODIN and flash CWM-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-v5.tar.md5 .......will that allow me to wipe and factory reset

If you can still get into download mode (big yellow triangle) and ODIN will recognize you phone, you can get everything you need from this forum thread to root it and then install TWRP or CWM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
If you would prefer to just get back to stock for today, you can get what you need here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968625
Do not deviate from these two threads. Everything you need is contained within the first post of each of those threads.
Make sure you get the correct files for your phone (AT&T, Bell, Rogers etc.) It actually doesn't really matter as long as they are files for the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 or I747 model. For the sake of making it easy on you, use the Rogers files as you are in Canada on the Rogers/Fido network.
I know you are in panic mode but seriously, take your time and READ the posts about how to do it. Rushing anything in this game can easily screw your phone up for good as you have already experienced first hand.
If you cannot get your phone to go into full download mode and have ODIN on your PC connect to your phone, you have it borked it up beyond easy everyday repair.

Can someone please just tell me what to do. This is what ive done to it:
-Factory Rogers GalaxyS3
-used free online carrier unlock so I could use my Fido SIM.. (didnt know unlock was not necessary to go from Rogers to Fido)
-Idiot me used SGS3 International Root Toolkit from here - http://androidrootaccess.blogspot.ca/2012/07/rooting-samsung-galaxy-s3.html on a canadian model
-it didnt reboot back up after flashing Odin and cant get into recovery mode....only download screen in Odin Mode
WHAT DO I DO... someone please tell me what to do to either A) return it back to STOCK or B) ROOT IT Properly. Ive never done this before so telling me to go somewhere and download this and unzip it and yada yada yada means nothing to me. Can someone just give me a link to put into Odin that will make this all better....PLEASE... I havent even had this phone for 24 hours yet and I need it for work at 7pm tonight and its 930am now. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated.... and yes I know I sound pathetic and useless lol....Thanks in advance guys!!

PS- what if I use ODIN and flash CWM-Recovery-LTE-SGS3-v5.tar.md5 .......will that allow me to wipe and factory reset

I am not in your position, so please don't blame if it gets worse, but I've done several flashes so I am going to explain what would I do.
Go into the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
and download this and follow the instructions there
Rogers Image
Current I747MVLDLK4 (JB 4.1.1)
Mirror 1: Download root66_RWC_I747MVLDLK4.7z
Second,
Extract the root66_xxx_.tar.md5 from the .7z file you downloaded.
Use Odin, put phone into download mode [with phone off, hold vol. down + home + power ], connect to computer and open Odin.
once in odin click the PDA field and select the root66_xxx_.tar.md5 you downloaded.
Leave Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checked.
click start and
when done let phone reboot.
If you have issues flashing with Odin please ensure you are using the microusb cable that came with the phone, users have had issues using other cables.
If you just want a stock, rooted phone with no custom recovery, no plans to flash custom roms, etc. then you can stop HERE.
those instructions are very clear as to what to do, but if you don't understand one let me know and I will try to explain it
edit: this video might be easier to follow on how to get odin working http://www.xda-developers.com/android/how-to-root-the-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-xda-developer-tv/
I downloaded the Jedi Mind Trick JB 2 ROM and installed it via clocwork mod recovery .. That went fine but it took me a few days to realize I didnt have a working video camera anymore on my phone.. so I thought to flash a stock ROOTed rom instead...
Then I found this threat about an updated version of Jedi Mind Trick's ROM labled JB 3.. So I wiped as much as I could in recovery and chose to format all the options it gave me in recover , Format system , data , cache , emms(or something) .. and now when I boot the phone , it shows the first flash screen , and the samsung logo starts to shimmer then it reboots back to the splash screen and repeats this process everal times before just going black and sitting there..
So I've successfully bootlooped my phone doing this..
MY PROBLEM -- I don't know how to charge my phone or connect to it to install anything else..
Is this a serious problem? How can I charge my phone to continue troubleshooting it? It still has some battery to try some things but I don't know how to hook it up to transfer any other roms to it via USB cable and PC in it's current state..
I'm very computer savvy but I'm trying to learn this phone modding stuff and I realy hope I didn't brick my phone in this process.
Can someone please help me out here? I'll be on the forums religiously until I figure this out.
What should I start doing first??
Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!
still working at it
I think I'm at the point of having to use ODIN to flash a new rom since i cannot simply copy this rom to the sdcard to use clockwork to flash it .. Am I correct on this ?
For some reason this rom I found (should be stock rooted tmobile gSII rom) does not want to open from ODIN's PDA button cause its in .zip and not .tar or anything... I'm not sure how to flash this rom with ODIN ( I'm not even 100% sure this is how its supposed to go) Any suggestions ?
phew
UPDATE - So I managed to research enough to find out that there is no way to flash a CUSTOM rom with ODIN.. SO I had to download a stock (presumably rooted) t-mobile rom and flash THAT ...
Now I'm back up with a rooted rom and will begin re-installing clockwork and then my custom deodexed rooted rom afterward.
Thanks for all who almost kinda tried to care to reply in this past 2 hours =) -- As previously mentioned.. I am a nerd.. I just suck at phone modding. Haha
So , looks like I'm in the clear now and don't need any more support on this particular topic yet.

Is this true? Through a recommendation (haven't done anything to my phone from rooting/flashing KANGSJUGGERNAUT2 years ago), I tried to flash CM10 and ended up with a bootloop myself. Tried flashing through ODIN but it kept crashing; does anyone know why?
Afterward, I tried to reflash it through CWM and from then on bootloops into a installation process that never completes.
For some reason my CWM turned super slow, freezes/hangs and reboots after a few minutes.
I gave the phone to a friend who does this stuff on the regular but he said my initial flash wasn't complete cause in download mode says I'm still running official? No clue.
I was told this via email/chat: "No luck, it won't even boot anymore, I think I'll just bring it back tmrw morn
10:43 PM
Sorry I'm at a wedding (yea I know random) I left my phone with coat check
OK I've narrowed down the reason but not the solution, you had an AOKP based ROM which fundamentally is based on CyanogenMod, but it wasn't correctly flashed as the phone still thought it has factory ROMs still running
11:10 PM
Clockworkmod(even though it was working before) wasn't accessing the partitions of the phone correctly so it wasn't properly wiping or flashing properly.
11:12 PM
So basically from the first time you flashed cwm it didn't flash properly then the next time you flashed using the new recovery it didn't flash anything it was supposed to do itself properly , so basically it was a chain of events in addition to a bad boot loader, that's why it never went to recovery or download mode correctly
11:13 PM
That's something that had to do with the way the phone was built meaning you may of had a bad bootloader from the very begin and are now feeling the synptoms
Basically, and I would hate to be the reason or partially the reason you have a dead phone, basically it was a matter of coincedencr that it happened as this could of happened at anytime, once you have a bad boot loader its pretty much down hill from there"
Any helpful insight as how I can rectify this? is my phone truly dead? Sorry about the quoted format, it was copied and pasted.
If I were in your boat, I'd use Odin and flash the stock 4.1.2 ROM.

The phone won't turn on, unable to go into recovery and download mode; plugged in usb (hear connection beep but pressing power button plays disconnect button) to no avail. What can I do to unbrick?
Stock 4.1.2? Possible over a hardbricked T989 with old 2.3.6?

sorry but i have to assume that you are not doing the 3 button recovery or download mode right.
Pull battery, put battery back in, hold power button & Vol +/- untill you see SAMSUNG on the screen ---> let go off power button(keep holding
Vol +/- button) .....u will see recovery. (assuming you did flash cwm before).
Let me know.

you can try using adb and put the phone in dl mode.
sometimes its as easy as pull battery and wait awhile (20 min or more) and try again.
if you've exhausted all possibilities, you can use a jig to force a dl mode.

I don't know what adb is, or how to use it; I have, however seen my friend RDP to my desktop and do something and used the term 'adb' in his attempt to code through the phone.
I've done that battery waiting period, for nearly an hour and still no result.
After doing some researching, I have found that many people have stated a USB JIG would not be applicable to a 'hard bricked' phone. I really wanted to try as it looked like the most, simple and inexpensive solution.

U have to flash stock rom via odin and start everything again
Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda premium
1) a bootloop won't stop you from getting into cwm.
2) cwm will usually stop a bootloop.
Something else is going on here. The symptoms you describe *could* indicate a damaged power button.
With a normally working W, if you press and hold the power button for long enough, the phone will switch off. If you continue to hold the power button, the phone will come back on....and then switch off again.....in a continual loop.....
It *could* be that the power button has failed by *maybe* being pressed into the phone (it can happen)...this would replicate the above scenario....

i had this problem recently , i did a cmw sd phone partition and kinda bricked my phone , samsung logo restarts rapidly
so at the time u can do 2 things
flash the galaxy via odin , if that didn't work then there is no other ways to fix it
or go to samsung and play dum cuz i went to samsung and replaced the motherboard under warranty , like a fresh phone!
Cheers..
Ok.....so watched that video....in his case, it ain't software related.....if it was, the phone would restart at the same point every time. You notice that the phone would restart after the galaxy w logo screen but when he started hitting the phone it fully booted. That's defo hardware related. I'm not suggesting you mistreat your phone the way he did, but if you did, I bet you'd notice a certain lack of regularity as to where the boot process fails.
My money's still on hardware as the cause of your phones problem.....

Ok...going back to OS basics to try to explain this.....
As I'm sure you know, an operating system will load up files in a specific and pre defined order. The ONLY thing that will stop this process is an interruption of the power or a corrupted file that the OS is trying to load. The phone in the video is NOT suffering from a bootloop due to a corrupted file......hitting the phone will not suddenly make that file ok and allow the phone to fully boot. If there was a corrupted file, the boot process would fail at EXACTLY the SAME point EVERY time.....regardless of what was done to the phone.
You say you've managed to reproduce the results in the video and get your phone to boot past the startup screen?.......that being the case, it's NOT software related....simply because the boot process doesn't fail at the same point and gets further in.
You say you can't access recovery or download mode because the phone restarts......this is another indication that the OS has nothing to do with it as during these tasks, the OS isn't even being used.
EVERYTHING I've seen and read here is telling me that it's a hardware issue....specifically the power button......wouldn't hurt to get it checked

If the phone is out of warranty, it shouldn't matter that you've rooted and gone custom as they'll charge you anyway....just got to tell them that you want to stay custom or they're likely to return you to stock and unroot the phone (and charge you for that too).......
You could always try an unauthorized repair shop and see what they say.....

In my opinion, I don't think jtagging will help in this case. I'm 99.999% certain that it's hardware related. Even if you did jtag, I still reckon you will have a phone that continually restarts. All you'd be doing is replacing one functioning OS with another. Jtag is primarily used for a phone that will not boot at all......

After years of flashing roms (and lurking here, especially DrKetan´s thread), I hard bricked my brand new SM-N975F. When I power it on, it goes to the screen that tells me the bootloader is unlocked, then to a welcome screen, and that is where it stays. (see pics).
I have tried the following:
1) All possible hardware combinations. (I tried at least 100 times all combinations between the keys): always the same.
2) Odin3 does not detect the phone in either screen.
3) Samsung Tool 300K does not detect the phone.
4) ADB does not detect the phone. (adb devices comes empty)
I am about to get a hammer and wreck the little guy, but I decided to ask you first.
Any ideas?

Thank you! I was on stock ROM (Q), with an unlocked bootloader. I was flashing TWRP for Android Q with Odin. It "Pass"ed, and when I rebooted it bricked.

you should put the phone in download mode and reflash stock from odin.
reboot [down+pwr] when the screen shut down immediately put the usb cable in the phone usb port (the other already in the port of the pc) keeping the vol down till enters in download mode.
you cannot flash just the twrp partition, you have to flash the disable verity check as well. otherwise the bootloader dont't allow the bootstrap as the integrity check fails.
follow the dr.ketan instructions (carefully).

you cannot flash just the twrp partition, you have to flash the disable verity check as well. otherwise the bootloader dont't allow the bootstrap as the integrity check fails.
follow the dr.ketan instructions (carefully).

Thank you! I tried Dr Ketan´s instructions, but no matter how hard I try, I can´t get to the download mode. I followed your instructions but the phone does not go to download mode, it just shows the "bootloader modified" screen, then the other one. Odin (nor Samsung Tool 300K) do not recognize the phone at any time, not even for a second, so I can´t flash anything to it.
Sm-n975f hard brick - solved
I hard bricked my SMN975F by uploading the wrong TWRP. The bootloader was already unlocked, but the new TWRP for Q bricked it.
I solved it by sending the phone to a Samsung repair shop. It took them 24 hours (and about 70 dollars), but they were able to flash the bootloader, and the stock Q rom.
Moral of the story: if your Note 10+ is hard bricked, there is a solution. You can try the advice given to me above by these useful members, but if that fails do not toss the phone. Go to a Samsung service store, and they will be able to fix it. Thank you all for their help!

You f##ked it real good but not a hard brick as far as I'm aware. (I may be wrong)
Hard brick is only fixable with a new motherboard.
Well done on getting it sorted and that's great service from sammy
I know you said you tried 100 times, different combinations, by any chance was this - Press and hold the Volume Up + Bixby / Power buttons. - one of them? It should boot into recovery mode not download mode. I had a similar issue, I had to try and try until I was able to get into recovery, from there did wipe data/factory reset several time, and then select reboot to bootloader, then flash the latest firmware(since you probably wont know which booltloader you have on it). Also remember to used the recommended Odin by the XDA team.
Try following alternate way.
- Turn Off Phone, if unable to turn off, wait till battery drain and off itself.
- Press and hold the Volume up and the Power keys at the same time for 3-4 seconds.
- This will bring you to Recovery Screen.
- Use Volume Up and Down Button to Navigate and choose Reboot to bootloader by pressing the power button.
- You are now at Download Mode.

Thank you for your feedback. I had tried that, but the recovery screen did not come up. The method you suggest will work for most cases, but in my case I had screwed up the recovery itself by flashing the wrong TWRP.
Moral of the story: do not flash the wrong TWRP, because it may corrupt your recovery, and then getting to download mode is a lot more complicated.

I agree with you, real good. It may not be a complete hard brick, as the repair guys did not open the phone nor changed the motherboard. Still, it was as bad as a soft brick can get....
ust buy a z3 and fix it lol
Samsung Smart Switch
As far as I know, Samsung Smart Switch is the only method to recover your phone. Download it on your pc. Launch the app and connect your phone. Choose to recover bricked phone.
I bricked about 8 different phones with the new A/B thing before I learned TWRP doesn't work and the fix was to flash the stock boot.img to both partitions with:
./fastboot flash boot --slot all <nameofboot.img>
Download the modded version of Odin. Here's a link to it in my Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=10F5bh4YmD0vAduSMfuqF7jQl4ho1s83a

Sm-n975f hard brick - solved
Guys I solved it. I pressed Volume down + Power, as soon as the screen turned off I quickly pressed Volume up +Volume down as I inserted the cable and voila! Download mode. Now I can reflash stock firmware
That was a very close call.
