[Q] Phone is stuck in TWRP - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

Hello,
Long time lurker, first time poster. Sorry for a newb question but I'm panicking. I wanted to restore my phone so I read the guides, and used Odin with G925T_Stock_Recovery_ZiDroid.com.tar.md5. I factory reset my phone and rebooted, but I keep rebooting in TWRP. I can't seem to get out of it. What can I do to fix my phone? The phone does still go in download mode. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Use stock odin image and reflash recovery, boot and system. @jamcar has posted the OCG tar.

Thank you. Is that the recovery.tar.md5 file?

I think I found the thread. I'm downloading now. Hopefully this works. Thank you.

I tried to root mine and it's stuck on looping load screen. So I'm trying frantically to re-install stock ROM since I stupidly forgot to make a backup....
When I try to download the file into Odin3, it freezes Odin3 and it says it has stopped responding. After 5 tries I did get to try and start it, but it failed... Has this happened to anyone else?? Or how can I get this back?

Yes..
It now says "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software." and is stuck on this blue screen now.

Good stuff!

I still want to root this phone, even though it crashed using both methods (twrp and odin3).
Maybe I'll have to reboot the PC between flashes.

the customer is telling the truth. same thing happened to me. i've had 3 galaxy phones, & this is the first time it happened. i downloaded an app from Playstore. used it for a couple of hours. then exit the program. then after a few hours while playing a different game, my screen went black (which at first I though was due to low battery) then it turned on but only until the NoteII logo. Tried to charge my phone but the battery icon only had this white circle at the center, there wasn't a green bar that's supposed to be showing up when you're charging. I couldn't access the recovery mode. i could access the download mode though. I tried to install CMW & stock rom, but both failed. Odin said my phone has got no PIT file.... please help!
BTW. Let me just tell you more about the apps involved. I downloaded Zynga Poker from Playstore at around 1PM. Played it until maybe around 3PM. Exit the program though it's still sending me annoying notifications. Then at around 9PM, I played RuneMasterPuzzle, which I've been playing since I've got my phone. Actually I've had that in my S2 before & never had a problem. So I'm blaming Zynga Poker.
I really, really need your help. Please...
TIA

I have the same problem.
I tried many solutions like, flashing its ROM, fix partition, followed Dr. Ketan's advices. Still no good. I can access Odin Mode but I can't access my recovery.
Here's my situation:

What the hell. So I'm not the only one with this problem. Same goes for me. I checked mails on my note 2 when it suddenly went black and rebooted. Then it was stuck at the first bootscreen. I can also go into Download mode but not into recovery. I tried flashing Stock Roms, Rescue Rom, Custom Roms, Root and CWM but nothing ever changed the situation.....perhaps this is a bigger problem?!

Then try to use Note 2 Toolkit.
Does it work?
Among other features, this one (as stated on their thread):

Problem with toolkit is that i does not see my phone. I can only get to download mode. Nothing else. Can't boot it up and when i try to use the toolkit it says that USB debugging needs to be enabled... well seems like that isnt the case, did not need it before so i think it's disabled :/
What did you do to the phone exactly?
Did you ever root it? Which root method did you use? From where did you follow instructions to do so?
Did you ever flash some firmware? Which one? What's the full name of the file you flashed?
EDIT: Please, these questions are mandatory to understand the issue.
Alright so it happened on sunday, my phone was complete Stock and i never installed root or custom rom before on this device. I was checking my mails when the phone suddenly rebooted. When it was up again i suddenly got the S-Voice instructions which i had to click through. After that the phone rebooted again. When i had to enter the PIN i just touched the screen for a second and the screen went black again. Now it rebooted to bootscreen and got stuck there. After that i tried anything to get it back to life. I am not able to enter recovery, only download mode.
In the meatime i flashed anything that looked promising. For example the newest Stock rom for my Note 2, CWM+ Root, Stock Recovery+ Root, Rescue Rom with PIT-File (got it here in the Forum for getting bricked phones back to live, it has all the files - phone, csc, modem, PIT and bootloader), Recovery Fix..... i tried anything but it still gets stuck at bootscreen and i was never able to get to recovery......
When i check in download mode my Counter is now at 10 and Current Binary and System Binary is Custom. Even when i flashed Stock Rom, System binary never changed back to Official. it's always custom....... Odin flashing is always succesful even tried it on different PCs....yet still getting stuck at bootscreen......
Dunno if there's even a way to get it back to live
Edit: I flashed my old Galaxy S up and down without problems and even when it was softbricked it was no problem for me to get it back to live. This time i just don't see any possible solution -.-

Did this also. When I plug the USB Cable, PC will beep (detected by PC, meaning driver is working) But in Toolkit's Interface, Phone's serial number is not showing. What I can do in Toolkit is to Launch Odin, well, Odin can detect the phone. BUT after flashing. It will reboot to the first boot screen.
Is this a sort of a SOFT BRICK?
Is it already a hardware problem? like fried chip or something?
I'm already running out of options here. :crying:
Well at the moment i haven't found anyone who is able to help us and i tried many different things to get it working again. Without success....
Perhaps somewhere here on xda we will find a savior but at the moment i don't see any hope for our devices but to send them to samsung :/
After reading some threads and searching for the cause of the problem, well, that thing, i must say that "Reboot of Death" LOL! happened under normal use, stock, unrooted Note2s.

Nothing changed. No recovery after flashing any of these only download modus. Still stuck at bootscreen
Tried some other Stock firmwares but i'm still stuck at bootscreen :/
Same thing happened with me aswell. I went again to download mode and flashed CWM first. After flashing CWM i wiped dalvik, cache partition & then data reset. Ofcourse i lost my apps but i had phone & sms backup with me.
Later i flashed a new firmware thru pc odin & everything was fine. The phone started perfectly. Give a try. Hope it works for u aswell.

You could have waited for a few mins before taking any action. The OTA update process clearly states that you should not disturb the device and/or use it when the updates are being installed. Looks like its software bricked. Try a reset from the stock recovery. I'm sure nothing would happen, as the OS would have been corrupted. At this point, I recommend you to get it fixed via HTC. :good:

How do you hard shut down and then get into recovery?

I got stuck at the boot screen with no OS installed.
Google is finding me ways to reboot but can't find anything on how to do a hard shutdown from here.
EDIT:
Okay one suggestion was to plug the phone into charge, then force a reboot (power + both volume buttons held down 10+ seconds).
Then when it shuts off, you disconnect the power cable after seeing a "battery" on the screen and the tab will remain turned off.
That did not work for me with computer data charging cable.
But it did work with the stock charger. :good:
This helped me get into download using the download mode button shortcuts. But I can't figure out how to get into recovery mode from here? The recovery mode buttons don't work (volume up + power + home).
It looks like this thread has the answer on how to get into recovery mode again.
Too bad I didn't find it before I did an ODIN back to stock.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/help/to-event-soft-brick-disaster-t2838473
Actually its even easier than that and have done it countless times.
Next time just hold POWER +VOL DOWN + HOME. As soon as the screen goes blank change to VOL UP whilst still holding POWER +HOME.
Works every time to get into recovery.

I'm in the same situation where all of a sudden my tablet went into reboot and got stuck on the logo screen. I tried the combinations suggested such as : Power butto +Volume down then Volume up when screen is black to get to reboot mode but it just brings me back to the logo screen. Is there some other way I can access the safe mode or recovery mode to try and get this thing working again? I wasn't running any apps for it to cause this either, just checking email. Any help would be much appreciated

You're not following the instructions properly. Read post 3 again and hold ALL 3 buttons until recovery boots.
Do not let go of any of the buttons until you see the recovery screen.

Well, downloading is not the recovery.
In download mode you would use ODIN to re-flash the firmware from a computer.
In recovery, you would do a factory reset to reset back to defaults to see if that helps boot back into the existing firmware. You'll probably lose everything.

Yeah I just figured out I was in the wrong mode. I couldn't get it to the recovery mode for some reason but eventually it worked. So I have to go into wipe data/factory reset option? There's nothing else I can do on that screen to fix this without losing everything? I see other opions to Wipe Cache, reboot to bootloader, reboot system now etc..

Well, you're not really giving enough info for us to properly help you.
If you have stock recovery then you can try clearing cache but it probably won't fix a no-boot situation.
If you have TWRP recovery then you can try clearing cache and dalvik and fix permissions which probably won't help but gives you a better chance.
Also, if you had TWRP then you could simply re-flash your ROM zip and not lose a whole lot.

Sorry about that. It's like I said, I'm not too inclined on this type of stuff. Here's what I got and hopefully it helps you more. The tab is completely stocked, never rooted because I wouldn't even know how to do that really. I was on it fine last night and all I did was put it down for literally 30 sec to get something to drink and when I came back it was stuck on the Samsung logo screen. Only apps I had open was gmail, chrome and a word document. There was nothing dowloading, system wise or apps. It's already had Lollipop on it for a week or two and I didn't get any update notices or anything. So I'm guessing the problem is it's somehow stuck in a "boot loop" from what I found searching on google and I don't understand why or what could be causing it so that's the issue I'm trying to fix. I can't get past that screen no matter how many times I restart it. Does that help some?

Yeah, so unfortunately your options are very limited and you're kinda stuck with losing everything.
Try clearing cache first but I doubt it will help.
Then reset to factory defaults. That should work and you probably lose everything.
If not, then search this forum for "ODIN" and "firmware" or let me know and I'll guide you when I get back to my computer in a couple hours.

The factory reset should not touch the external SD card at all. So no worries about leaving it in during that process.
Yeah, starting over.
As long as you're doing that, this is a great time to flash a rooted ROM so you can install Titanium Backup and do regular backups of your apps in case you ever need to reset to factory again.
What model tab do you have? Like, mine is a T705.
If it's an LTE tab, who is your carrier?
The ODIN process depends on this info.

Who knows, something is not happy though.
You could try another reset.
Is your battery greater than 50%?
Under a certain percentage, the battery savings feature could possible do weird things.

Lol yea no kidding. The battery has been plugged in the whole time. I'm actually at 100% now. I was really trying to avoid having to bring it to Geek squad. If I do the reset and it does it again, will going to the download mode and doing the custom OS help at all?

Unless it's a hardware issue, then re-flashing the firmware via ODIN could definitely help!
You can ODIN the stock, unrooted firmware or you can ODIN a TWRP recovery and flash any ROM you want for your phone.
Would still need to know the model # I asked for a couple times above.

Okay great, so you can ODIN a TWRP recovery and then flash a nice ROM. Same ROM I use on my phone. It's stock Touch Wiz that has been rooted and some small things have been improved. Very stable. IronROM.
Or you can download the stock firmware from sammobile.com and ODIN back to stock.

Can someone please help me

I was trying to update my phone and something most likely went wrong. Then the update installed and screwed up my phone. When I turned it on it stayed on the startup for so long. I tried to clear cache through the bootloader, but now it shows the android screen of death except it flashes. This occurs even outside the bootloader.
I am rooted with stock os.
Thanks in advance to whoever helps

Hey, thanks for the response.
Could you please elaborate on how I would do this. Because I do not understand how to do this if the bootloader doesn't work.
Thanks, your response and input means alot
Take the firmware from Asus website, for me I took UL-Z00A-WW-2.19.40.22-user.zip
Boot the phone in bootloader and try to go in the recovery screen, it took me a lot of tries to get in it!!!
From here you can select "insall update from ADB"
From your PC you do a "adb sideload UL-Z00A-WW-2.19.40.22-user.zip"

That's normal. When you get the error sign when booting into stock recovery, hold power down and press volume up and quickly release both buttons at the same time. If done correctly recovery menu will pop up and then you can start actually flashing.
Flashing
does this still work if the screen is flashing, because I tried before and it did not work, maybe I pressed it wrong or there is some other issue.
Thanks

help please

Hello,
I havent been here since my s7 edge, but im in need of some help. I did a update today on my stock sprint S9 and it was updating and got stuck at 35%. Okay cool, so just go into bootloader and factory reset right? No, I boot into the bootloader than it automatically loops back to " system install update" and starts the progressing update and gets stuck again or somehow, it loops into the "power by android logo" if that makes sense..
I'm not sure how to get my phone to work again, but im asking for your assistance. Havent updated or root my s9, so I currently have no idea of rooting or anything here. Also, its not possible to enter developer mode since the phone does not fully boot, but loop. Is it possible to get the phone to fully boot again w/o any rooting, etc? Its been awhile lol.
Thank you for your time, Tuan.

See if you're able to get into download mode and Odin the latest CSAB firmware: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1huOYnY6_7Rpjlj-8lDAo68lOJ-_usULs/view
This link comes from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9/how-to/official-s9-pie-t3844616
How long did you wait for it when it was stuck?
Grab the latest firmware from the samfirm tool here on XDA (Or link above will be quicker)
Boot the phone into Download Mode "Volume Down & Bixby & Power" from a powered off state
Load the 4 sections of firmware into Odin 3.13.1 (Use CSC not HOME_CSC)
Connect phone to PC USB
Hit start and wait for it to complete
All being well it should reboot the phone into Android

Waited about 30minutes when it was installing the "system update" and it loop for hrs until the phone died. When trying to get into bootloader it loops the system install and updates something instead of going to bootloader.
Phone is up and running. Thank you both so so much, you do not know how much I appreciate the help getting my phone back and running.
Thank you again, Tuan.
