I just got stuck in a bootloop so i had to reset via msm tool. I have the T-Mobile version.
I tried this https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...conversion-to-rooted-global-firmware.4019495/
But somehow got into a bootloop and i also couldnt turn my wifi on.
This means you had trouble entering fastbootD so some partitions did not flash. Just reenter bootloader mode using vol+ and power to shut off phone forcefully. Then hold vol-- and power to enter bootloader mode. Then retry flash-all again and it should enter FastbootD this time (looks like stock recovery with Chinese and English writings)

plug it in to charge for a few hours, then use adb to reboot into bootlaoder or recovery. Flash away from there.
Code:
adb reboot recovery

Hi sorry I can't remember when adb kicks in, maybe the fastboot commands become available earlier.
Hello All,
my phone was bootloader unlocked, rooted, installed with custom ROM and custom recovery.
Selling it to my friend, I did a phone reset in the phone setting menu.
Seems like I have done the wrong way? should have done in the custom recovery menu (TWRP)?
Now seems like I can not boot up to recovery mode anymore, by pressing power & volume down button, it always boot up straight to normal state.
Questions:
Have I lost the custom recovery?
How do I re-install? go thru ADB mode?
Thanks!
That button combo reboots to bootloader, not recovery (which doesn't have a button combo to boot directly to). Its a subtle difference (recovery vs. bootloader), but important. Its nearly impossible for the phone to not be able to boot into bootloader (if the bootloader was damaged, you wouldn't even have the screen coming on). If that is what you are experiencing (can't get into bootloader), you are probably just doing the button combo incorrectly: Hold vol up and power buttons until the phone reboots. When the screen goes black, but before the white HTC logo screen appears, let go of those buttons, and only hold vol down. Don't let go of vol down until you see the bootloader screen. If the phone boots normally, you likely just got the timing wrong, either started pressing vol down too late, or let go of it too early. Just repeat until you get into bootloader.
Alternately, within OS (and debugging enabled) you can do:
adb reboot-bootloader
or
adb reboot recovery
Now, if you get into bootloader, select recovery, and TWRP still doesn't boot. Then yes I'd recommend fastboot erase cache, and re-install TWRP by fastboot.
Pardon me,
I used the wrong term, I mean boot to bootloader.
I also pressed the wrong buttons, vol down and power instead of vol UP and power.
Many thanks for your advise.
I unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP Recovery using the OP3 Tool. However now the phone will not boot unless I press the power button a few times. When it does boot I get the "Your device is not safe message", if I boot from here I get the OnePlus logo with the "powered by android" text but then it just shuts off. If I use the volume keys to select something else, I get nothing, the fastboot mode just gets stuck on the fastboot until I turn the device off, recovery just reboots to the "Your device is not safe screen".
Any help would be wonderful

Did you flash anything while you were unlocking the bootloader? The message is shown when the bootloader is unlocked so that is ok. Your phone, however, should turn on by long pressing the power button. You're getting a bootloop, If I were in such a situation I'd use the fastboot mode to flash the stock firmware again to get the phone working...

Awesome! Enjoy :good:
So I was trying to install TWRP on my phone. I have a Mac and was looking at some online guide. I had a pin set-up, and this is what I did:
1. Installed ADB and fast boot
2. Unlocked the boot loader on the phone
3. Check the terminal commands that the device is connected correctly
4. Had the ABD and TWRP img files on the phone.
5. Tried to fast boot TWRP.
What is happening now is that I'm stuck on a boot loop of a TWRP screen, the screen if flashing and won't load. I'm guessing to let the battery die out over night
I was looking at a few threads and some say that I should flash the factory image. Everyone is saying flash the stock file... However, I can't even get the phone to turn off or go back into bootload mode for my computer to recognize the phone.
Any tips?
Hold volume down and the power button down. Keep it held down might take sometime but you should get to the loader. boot twrpRC1 flash rc2 after getting in twrp. You could also start fresh by fishing factory once you get back to bootloader
Long press power button to shut it off
or press power button and vol down together and will take you to fatsboot mode and from there you can use volume button to seltect bootloader or recovery
I don't do pin's so I'm not familiar with the hangups involved with those and TWRP.
But I guess the first thing I'd do is remove the pin lock.
Then power down phone.
Wait 30 seconds!!!!!
Press power + volume down until phone powers on, then let go.
Should boot right into bootloader.
Fastboot boot twrp.
Install TWRP from the fastbooted TWRP.
I'm not familiar with the Mac process but on a PC we need to fastboot into TWRP from an image file on our computer first, and then flash the file on the phone.
I recommend keeping a copy of the boot signer on your device, flashing this fixes most of these types of issues I have found, especially with new rom upgrades etc.
Did you let the phone fully boot into the system after unlocking the bootloader, or did you immediately try and boot twrp?
I've had this problem twice before, both after a fastboot unlock, and I had to let it fully boot into the system before proceeding

Thank you you too. That was the problem, my patience. I didn't hold it down long enough for it to boot back into boot loader mode.

Hey I think that was it. I immediately tried to boot twrp without letting the system fully boot.
Thanks you all for the support. Go XDA!
The first question everyone should be asking is if OP was on the O Beta previously.. If that is the case Op needs to flash the factory image in both slots.
Put phone into the bootloader
Flash all bat
Put phone into the bootloader
fastboot --set-active=other
fastboot reboot bootloader
flash all bat
fastboot boot twrp
Even if OP wasnt on the O beta, this should fix the issue.
After successfully flashing Oreo, I am seeing the same flashing/looping TWRP (twrp-3.0.2-0-RC1).
Long press of Pwr restarted the phone.
Rinsed & repeat a few times.
Any thoughts to flash TWRP (temporarily)?

Success. Thank you!
So I tried to install TWRP and followed the steps, used ODIN v3.14, it tried to upload something but failed with an error.
Now the phone has gone into a perpetual restart cycle:
1) Reboot (by itself or Vol Down + Power)
2) Blank screen with: "Galaxy A70 - Secured by Knox - Powered by Android"
3) Screen with: "This phone's bootloader is unlocked and its software integrity... - Press power key to continue"
4) Blank screen with: "Galaxy A70 - Secured by Knox - Powered by Android"
5) Blank screen with: "SAMSUNG" for a very long time
6) eventually back to step 1
****************
Is there a way to get back this phone?
I was flashed twrp normally and nothing happened for me. Did you pressed vol up+power ASAP after flash successful ? If not, go to download mode and flash again, then press vol up+power immediately.
I never managed to flash TWRP, ODIN displayed an error when I tried.
1. Your using the wrong version of odin. You need 3.13.3
2. Sounds like your not key comboing fast enough?
3. You can not hard brick the A70. If its in a boot loop, plug into pc and Continue to hold vol up and down till it boots to download mode. Flash latest stock version then reboot.

Dont press power during the end process, its power and vol down till screen goes blank then immediately let go and press and hold just vol up.
OK, I am now in the "Downloading..." screen and the phone is waiting.
All I have on my PC is:
recovery.tar
twrp-3.6.1_9-0-a70q.img.tar
DFE.zip
I do not have the Samsung firmware or anything else.
What should I do now?

Get the original firmware for your phone from a 3rd party website.

Get frija from the link in my guide under tools, install it on your pc, then use it to download your latest stock firmware. Make sure you have odin 3.13.3 as well
In frija, enter the model number and the region code of the A70
In my case it would be SM-A705MN/ TTT
Do NOT flash other models, it must be for your Model. Also, dont flash csc_home in this instance, use csc. When loading the AP file, it will take a little bit to load in and you may see odin has stopped working, ignore that and it will eventually load, make sure auto reboot is unchecked everytime you use odin. The first step in my guide says to download and flash latest stock firmware. Anytime your going to do modifications to a device, make sure to have the latest stock firmware first.
Many thanks for suggestions.
I managed to download the stock firmware from https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-a70/firmware/SM-A705FN/BTU/#SM-A705FN and have uploaded it using ODIN 3.14 The phone has now started, like new / factory reset.
I am now setting it up (Samsung firmware) just to make sure I have got my phone back.
After I will try to zap and upload another ROM.

I didn't said that hold power button during flash. Press vol up+power after successful flash, that means when odin say pass then phone goes black and boots, while bootsplash is coming, immediately press and hold vol up+power to switch to recovery.

Its not up+power after successful flash.
Its down+power till screen goes blank then immediately hold vol up only. Is what im trying to tell you. It will NOT work the way you described.

It's not necessary, i can go up to recovery with what i'm saying. What do you mean by vol down+power ? That doesn't do anything. BTW I have FN model.

In download mode, Android 11, to exit, it litterly tells you on the screen to hold vol down and power to reboot. Vol up and power does nothing in this state. To get to twrp from download mode, hold vol down and power till screen goes blank and then press and hold vol up. This will boot to twrp. Other ways to boot to twrp is power off device, plug into pc, wait for it to charge, then hild vol up and power till it boots or if magisk is installed, use magisk reboot options.
Dude, your key combos and information is incorrect. You can not reboot to twrp from download mode by holding vol up and power.
Samsung changed the keymap combination to boot into recovery on 3.1, so to boot into recovery stock or whatever it is, just follow the steps:
Connect your cellphone to the USB port.
Press on Volume UP during boot.
Samsung does weird things

My key combo is true, actually the wrong one is yours This is the valid way also on the latest bootloader but like haky86 said, on latest bootloader Samsung wants you to plug USB cable to do this.
So we are agreed, there is no way to get to TWRP unless you are connected to USB? For example, on my one old phone, I used to keep TWRP backups on the SD card, and I could restore anywhere, I did not need to be near the PC with a USB cable.
