Hi, I have S6 Edge (SM-G925I). I have mistakenly bricked my device. It is running on Android 5.1.1. I tried rooting my device with CF-Auto Root. and since then i had this error on on the top left corner of my boot screen it is written in red and it says "Recovery is not seanandroid enforcing". i was really annoyed by this and tried to get back to my Stock ROM via Smart Switch. Unfortunately it failed. since then i am not able to enter recovery mode. Every time I try by pressing the 3 buttons, it shows up on a Cyan screen with this written "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software". following that whenever i run Smart Switch it says that my device is not supported. I went through many sites over the internet however none solved my problems. i'm desperate for help. Please help me

As title. My phone is stuck in the emergency recovery page: use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch PC software. I cannot turn the phone off, I cannot go into recovery, and I cannot go into download mode.
I attempted to root the device using kingo but it failed. It was my first time rooting a device. So my phone essentially got stuck when it restarted at the "Samsung S6 Edge: Powered by Android" black screen. I then managed to "recover" the device by using Odin and flashing a stock firmware.
So I got back into the device and tried to change the settings back to what they were before. I disabled USB debugging (Bootloader option is not available for my mode, SM-G925I).
Then...having the itchy hands I do, I checked out the security portion under settings, and I saw that there was "unauthorized changes made". The program suggested that I restart my phone so as to get rid of those changes..which I did. And since then, it has been stuck again.
I actually took a trip down to the service centre where the tech actually managed to turn the device off, and I was told that warranty was void. In any case, when I returned home I tried to flash the same stock firmware that I used earlier but ODIN failed. I redownloaded the stock firmware for 925I from a couple of places and they're all 1.5gb+; but every time I try to even load the firmware Odin just hangs and I have to end the task...
Right now, I'm attempting to use smart switch and the emergency recovery function but it has not worked the first time, at the second stage where installation actually takes place. While the phone was connected, window's kept giving the notification that the device was not recognized. I'm giving smart switch a second desperate try and this time round I'm receiving no notifications from windows (so I suppose that's a good thing..). But assuming that smartswitch does not work? What are my options considering:
1) Failed root using kingo root (one-click stuff..wish I had known better)
2) USB Debugging is not enabled
3) Unable to enter recovery mode
4) Unable to enter download mode (but a download bar appears when I attempt to use Odin at the emergency recovery page)
5) 5.1.1 android system
6) Phone is not recognized by smart switch (might be because it is in the emergency recovery mode)
Really at a loss here..I'm helpless with tech and I really should have just left well alone. Jailbreaking was so much easier...Samsung quoted me $200+ for the replacement of the motherboard of the phone, which I will probably take up if the situation is really beyond repair.
Thanks in advance..

Hi All
I have samsung A5 2017. When i start my phone it shows no command and it continues to restart after 1 minute.
When i try to open recovery mode i get error "fail to open recovery_cause(No such file or directory)". I have also tried combination of key power and volume up but not getting recovery mode. I think it has been deleted or something else. I am also unable to load firmware.
I also tried to install twrp with odin 3.13 but get error unable to install frp locked.
Please tell me solution how can i get back recovery mode so that i can install firmware.
Please help me for this.
Hey there,
I have a similar issue and I can see your post dates back to 2020. Have you ever found a way?
I'm very curious about solving the issue on mine (I can't reboot at all, can't even access the reboot after getting the "no command" message. If you have any clue on how you accessed reboot mode and can be kind enough to share, this would be really appreciated )
I know this is an old thread, but did you find a solution?
On an unlocked J6, after flashing the stock rom, although I can open recovery, I get the same message. The options I tried (both reboot options, both wipe options, power off) work. I went ahead and installed twrp through odin, which passed, but when I boot into recovery, it boots into samsung recovery (with the same message) and not twrp.
I'm guessing the twrp problem is related to the error message.
I looked at the 5 threads that were suggested as soon as I typed in the subject. Cool feature!!!
So my wife's S3 Tab is stuck in a bootloop. I tried wiping cache and factory reset. Didn't work. I have not enabled developer mode and I can't now as it is stuck in a bootloop (duh me!).
I tried to flash stock firmware using Odin 3.14 and I got a fail.
Now the tab is flashing this message. Blue screen and white text.
"An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch PC software"
How can I fix this? Please help!

Hello. As far as I know, if you do not have OEM Unlocking enabled, you cannot flash anything through ODIN.
However, you should be able to flash stuff in the green screen you are in.
Download the *proper* stock firmware from sammobile.
By proper, I mean, if your tab has no sim then download for T820
and if it does Download for T825. Then download with the proper CSC code. (it is basically the region you bought the tab from. Look it up).
Download and flash with ODIN 3.14. You can flash stock roms from the Error screen you're in. Also be sure that you're flashing everything properly and have the proper drivers by following everything here: https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/use-odin-flash-samsung-galaxy-stock-firmware-0182037/
press the thanks button on the bottom right of my post if i helped. Means a lot
Hello, I am pretty new to rooting and I have a question. I recently rooted (with TWRP) my phone (Samsung Galaxy J7 2016). Everything seemed to work well until I rebooted the phone. Now whenever I try to boot it, an error message appears at the top right corner saying "Custom binary blocked by FRP Lock".
I tried going to recovery mode, but I wasn't able to get there (I tried holding VolumeUp + Home +PowerButton). However, I got into the download menu without any problems (Holding VolumeDown + Home + PowerButton).
So I did some research on the internet and found a guide (https://technastic.com/remove-frp-samsung-combination-file/) that I followed but in the end, when I started the Combination Firmware in Odin, I got stuck with a message in the log saying "File analysis..". So maybe USB Debugging isn't on. On the other hand, Odin detected my phone so I don't know.
Please help me. Thank you
