only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

Hello, I have a great great problem on my galaxy S9 G920F.
My galaxy had root with magisk. After a day it got stuck and now I have a black screen with a red writing on the top "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed".
I wanted to try to flash another firmware but I can not turn off, I can not reboot, I can not do anything.
Is there a solution to this problem?
Thank you so much

Hold power & volume up for a while and see if it reboots
If you can get it to reboot, hold the power & volume down & bixby buttons and get into download mode, then flash stock with ODIN

Hi, i had same problem. But i can still got to twrp recovery mode. what i want to ask is Is it okay to direct flash to custom rom without getting it back to official firmware ?

Stuck on Samsung Boot Logo After Update [Tab 3 SM-T210]

I updated via OTA. The file size of the update was about 50mb. After rebooting, it installed the update but it stuck in the samsung boot logo. It remained stuck after two hours, and it was getting hot, I decided to reboot it. Same thing happens everytime I reboot, that is it is stuck at the glowing samsung logo.
I tried to press every combination of holding the Power button + Volume up or down button. Download mode doesn't show up.
mine seems to work just fine after the update, not to mention it runs much faster now unlike before which had have noticeable lag.. Quadrant benchmark from 3600 to 3800. also file size of the update is 80mb.

You can't install update via GSM or WIFI when rooted. I had the same problem with my SIII and learned the hard way but I could take the battery out of that. Im not sure in this case.

It's not rooted. I finally managed to get to Odin Mode (Home Button + Volume Down + Power), now I'm just downloading the pre-rooted stock firmware for my T210
Where did you find the pre rooted stock firmware download at? I keep finding them but never able to actually download them, always hangs or wants me to join some website...

[Q] Recovery problem

Hi everyone,
this is my first post here!
So today i took my brother's GS3 and saw he was on 4.0.1 and tried to upgrade to 4.3 via Odin
The first problem was that his volume down button is broken, so i have to use adb to put in download mode, I did it and successfuly updated but it showed emergency calls only, and after some search's I've found that was a problem with Modem file. As it must be rooted, i've rooted it but at the time i tried to install the modem through recovery again a problem because of the volume down button that wasn't working, so here starts the worst part> than i did the big mistake after downloading cydgenmod with touch for gs3 i accidentally selected an other Cydgenmod recovery for Galaxy Grand and didn't notice and so installed with Odin, than after the device rebooted i tried to boot to recovery but stuck on samsung galaxy logo so i thought it was a problem with vol up button and turned the phone on and send the command reboot recovery with adb . now it wont boot just stuck at samsung galaxy logo, i cannot get in download mode because of volume down button that its not working.
Does anyone know anyway of fixing this or the onliest way is to fix the volume down button?
Thanks for your time first !

[Q] T989 stuck on samsung logo - no power button

hey guys,
I was on 4.1.2 I had a "NO SIM" issue so i decided to try to root and flash 4.4 rom (was using touch recovery 2.7.0.0 all the way)
then it got stuck on samsung logo, I need to know if it's possible to boot RECOVERY MODE either FROM DOWNLOAD MODE or some touch/vol buttons way to boot into recovery, I have tried everything within my knowledge, I start the phone by sliding the battery out and in while USB plugged. or into download mode by holding both VOL buttons. I need to get into recovery and do a full wipe so I can do a fresh jelly bean 4.1.2 again.
thanks!

Are you saying that your power button doesn't work or what? Also, this belongs in q&a. I'll ask a moderator to move it.
Sent from my SGH-T989
EDIT: thread moved.
I'd fix the power button first. Then the rest is easy. You're in for many headaches with a bad power button. Plus, if it acts up while flashing anything, you could be in real trouble.
it's a little urgent on needing the phone to use it, thats why am digging into this. the button wont be here until at least wednesday 13th.
but yeah i guess i'll wait
thanks for your responds guys!

Well that's one of the perks of flashing a 3.xx.xxx.x ROM on 1.xx.xxx.x(4.4.2) firmware. You get to have extremely long boot up times and you won't have a proper working radio which leaves you with no wifi, data, gps, bluetooth...
Your OTA probably didn't work because of a custom recovery, not because it was rooted. Root does NOT prevent OTA updates from installing, though you might lose root access after the OTA.
If you're stuck at Boot screen hold Volume UP + Power button for 10seconds, as soon as the screen goes black press volume Down + Power button to enter into Bootloader.
Flash a custom recovery like TWRP. Go into recovery and restore a nandroid backup for your device.
first thx alot for replaying
i already got TWRP installed but the screen is stock on boot screen but still manage on the back ground to load my current rom as i'm hearing the log in sound of the rom :S
so i tried to power it off without seeing by holding the power key the power option pop up and touching random parts of the screen but i failed
i even waited for the battery to empty and factory reset the phone with no use
is these is any way even by adb to power off my phone
plzzz help
thx again for replaying

By the look of things you are booted in OS but have no screen, hence why try and hold power button in and randomly tap to shut off?
I told you already to Hold Volume UP + Power button for about 10seconds and then hold volume down + power to enter bootloader.
You can of course also just plug it in and try to reboot to bootloader using adb, if you have USB debugging enabled. adb reboot bootloader
As already said just hold power and volume up for around 12 seconds then immediately press and hold power and volume down. This will always get you into the boot loader.
However if adb is working just use the command above. Reflash the original boot.img and you should be good.

Use that to get back to the stock rom for your phone. Then after installing the right one, get the OTA

Never leave your device with an empty battery. In any circumstances.
Because you might not be able to charge it. Recover the device while you have some power on your battery.
Remember, this is a unibody device. It's not so easy to pull out the battery.

Any way to recover Edge Plus?

Hi...
I got my S6 Edge+ rooted and attempted to install recovery via TWRP Manager app. This was a mistake and it failed. When I tried to reboot the phone, it became stuck on the start up Samsung logo screen, displaying the message "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing." Then it either sticks there...or quickly shuts down.
Pressing volume down/power reboots to logo screen and that's all.
Pressing volume up/power/home does nothing.
Pressing volume down/power/home gets me to screen where I can connect to Odin. That seems to be working okay. I've tried to flash a couple different recoveries, but nothing has an effect. Some seem to flash successfully but nothing changes. Others fail.
I also tried flashing a stock firmware file (G925TUVU1AOCG_G925TTMB1AOCG_G925TUVU1AOCG_HOME.tar.md5), but that failed.
Seems if I found the right file to use through Odin it might set things right. Or is there another possible solution? If anyone has any help or suggestions (or links!) I would much appreciate it.
Thanks...Mike

You flashed the wrong firmware for your phone, we have a S6 Edge+ G928T and the
firmware you flashed was for the G925T phone.
Make sure that before you odin flash the S6 Edge+ G928T firmware that you go into the
phone's recovery by pressing volume up, power and home button at the same time.
and do a factory reset or factory data reset first.
Your best bet is to odin flash the correct firmware and start from the beginning.
Here is a fast download link for the proper firmware for your phone (COKC):
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24337548750880895
Also the "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing." message you see is normal if
you have rooted and twrp'ed your phone.
Good luck,
Have a great day!
Thank you so much Misterjunky!
After I made that post I was looking at the file name that I copied in there...thinking it should include 928. Why I didn't notice before, I'm not sure, I think I was in a panic searching around for an answer.
The only problem is I can't go into the phone's recovery by pressing volume up, power and home button at the same time. I kept trying desperately to do that yesterday, but no luck.
Any suggestions on getting that working? I have the correct firmware file downloaded and ready to go. Thanks again for the help.

There is another way to get into recovery, it's a bit complicated but if you do it just
right the phone will either go into stock recovery or twrp if you have twrp installed.
You have to have fast and accurate fingers for for the following:
First you need to go into "download" mode, then press the power,
home, volume up and volume down all at the same time until you
see the full black screen of the phone without any writing on it.
While still pressing all four buttons let go of the volume down button
while pressing the other three buttons, then keep pressing the three
buttons until you see stock or twrp recovery on the screen then let
let go of all the buttons.
Remember, when doing this you need to be not only fast but very accurate.
If you still cannot get into recovery then you need to go into download mode
and odin flash the official stock G928T firmware before doing anything else.
Good luck,
Have a great day!
Thanks again for the help Misterjunky. The alternate button presses to enter recovery didn't work either...the phone was very messed up.
Plus the battery wouldn't charge. It had drained out (because at first it wouldn't turn off), and so the phone would stay on only intermittently when plugged in. Not long enough to flash the firmware, which was very frustrating.
But suddenly, in desperation, I got a version of TWRP to flash successfully from Odin and open...which allowed the battery to charge. Then I was able to flash the firmware from your link, and after a couple of false starts, it was working perfectly.
I've subsequently found the correct version of TWRP to flash in your post in another thread, and it's fine. Now the phone is re-rooted and back to normal.

I've had the same issue on my phone, however when I download the stock firmware and flash with TWRP I get an error: "could not locate meta-inf/com/google/android/update/binary"
It also freezes and crashes odin anytime i try to flash through there.
Am I missing something? I have the same model (SM-G928T)
