I have a Galaxy S7 standard. This afternoon, I got a notification that an automatic update could not be installed properly. The phone rebooted and it got stuck on the Samsung title forever. I managed to force-reboot it a couple time but it kept stalling on the Samsung title.
I tried to boot the safe mode, without success. I then managed to boot the recovery mode and tried what was suggested on android forums by users who had similar problems, and I flushed the memory cache from the recovery mode menu. This is where it got worse. I read many articles by users who managed to root their phones back to the original firmware throught Odin and saved their data doing so.
So I downloaded the firmware for my region and my service provider from sammobile and ran the installation though Odin 3.12.5. The installation almost went through and crashed at the Cache step (near 99% completion), with the error (Custom binary(SYSTEM) blocked by FRP Lock) written on my phone on top of the (An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software).
Now I cant get my phone to boot the recovery mode. I can't even shut it down. It will only reboot and go straight to the error page. Smart Switch PC won't recognize the phone so I can't recover it from there. Can anyone help me solve this? Given where I'm at, I wouldn't mind a way to reset it to factory default and lose my stuff.
Thanks in advance.

So , to help you I need information of your phone :
1. What is full model of your device ?
2. It is based on Qualcomm or Exynos CPU?
3. Does Odin still recognise your device ?

1. SM-G930W8
2. How do I find this information? Quick googling makes me believe it is Exynos because I bought it in Canada for the Telus network, but I can't confirm anything since I can't boot it.
3. Yes it does. I can retry the installation, but it fails at the same step over and over.
Okay , so download this file in order to disable FRP lock , use Odin click on "AP" so after that you can restore normaly back to Stock Firmware with Odin or Smart Switch .

Tried this. It processes the installation and fails near the end. This time it is Custom binary (userdata) blocked by FRP lock
added : I used only AP when trying this. No BL, CP or CSC.
So then is problem on your Firmware , go to sammobile and download latest Version of Firmware for your device and your Region .
So that error Custom Recovery is probably problem because you flash your device with old Firmware version 6.0 and that way cannot Flash your Firmware because Firmware Signature.

I do have the version from 2017-08-31 which says version 7.0 (see https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/SM-G930W8/TLS/)
There is a newer version dated 2017-11-30 but the sammobile website for some reason has a broken link, or restricts downloading if you're not a premium member, which I'm not. If you can provide me with an alternative link to download the latest one, I'll give it a go. But both seem to be version 7.0
Added : Nevermind the broken link, Sammobile site has issues and their forum helped me solve it. I'll try installing the newest firmware when it is downloaded

Well... basically it would cost me more to repair it than what it would be worth. Financially, my best option is to buy a new phone :crying:
This means, I can try new tricks to try to fix it. I'm open to hear any ideas you guys have. Is there a way to force shotdown the phone to get out of the ''Download update'' menu which I'm stuck in? And then, is there a way to reach the recovery mode to do a factory reset? Would that work?
Dude , why you give up ? Just keep trying

Hi again, if u can get into download mode you're OK. If not ,u need to buy a USB jig from ebay to get into download mode.
If u can get into download mode,do this..go to development forum and download "galaxy s3 toolkit v3" and Dl. To pc.
Now go to samfirmware.com and register. Go to galaxy s3 firmware and select LFB rom and download it to your PC. Extract the zip file so u end up with 3 files(maybe5) u need PDA, phone and csc files. Put in place on your PC so its easy to find. Now run the toolkit and follow instructions on how to flash.(use numbers to navigate and enter to select)
Ps. Password is samfirmware.com to extract the rom.
write me if u need assistance or here

Hi JJE, thanks for the reply!
This was indeed the guide that I was following. Yet I have repeated the steps to no avail. The phone now hangs at the SAMSUNG screen and glows when I try and switch it on normally.
This was in fact the second version of the same firmware I am trying to flash, the first being a hotfile download linked from this site. How should I proceed now?

Thanks for the link but I cannot access CWM recovery. I have since fixed it by simply repeating the process with yet another version of the firmware. This time I followed it up with a factory reset that I accessed through [power+volume up+home] combination. I have used up my daily limit of thanks but will come back tomorrow to give credit where it's due. Thanks everybody.

***Problem Solved***
Hi experts,
My Galaxy S4 GT-I9506 is bricked with this error:
image 1 (attached)
It doesn't go to recovery mode anymore now!!!
First I tried to install custom Rom to root it with Odin, it did seem fine with "green pass" but didn't actually install any recovery mode (there wasn't any install option in recovery mode, there were only update options), nothing happened to phone at all and it worked normal.
Second i wiped the phone and cache and I download the firmware from Samsung website.
and after try to install, it failed in Odin:
Images 2 & 3 (attached)
I'm not sure but I think it was a wrong firmware, because I bought my phone online (kogan.com i think it is in Hongkong) and I downloaded the Australia Vodafone firmware (as I'm using Vodafone sim card).
anyone can help me?!
I should mention that phone doesn't go to recovery mode, failed in Odin, Kies can not fix it! the drivers all are up to date and no Antivirus runs in my PC.
Please someone help me.
Thanks & regards
Tesius

yes, there are different operator in one country, first u have to find out in which operator of which country your phone is supported, then download the ROM from sammobile, make sure of using last version of Odin, and maybe it takes longer than u expects, for me last about 9min to get the Pass sign...
i had the same problem..so try downloading GT-I9506_501_Stock-Recovery_XXUDOF2 that file from internet and extract..and then flash it using odin..it worked for my s4 gti 9506...
Sorry if this is answered on another thread; I couldn't find any answer that helped me, so I am opening this thread.
My Galaxy S3 I9300 is stuck with the error: "Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
But when I try to upgrade using Kies I get the error message "This device's version cannot be updated." I get as far as entering my model number and S/N.
I cannot enter recovery mode on my S3, only download mode, so I am unable to perform a hard reset.
My phone is not compatible with Kies3 so I am using Kies.
Any suggestions?
make sure your phone is not rooted,otherwise kies becomes unvailable.

How can I tell if the phone is rooted? I got the phone second hand last week, and I don't know if it had previously been rooted.
In download mode, I see the following:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
I am guessing this means it hasn't been rooted?

So why don't you provide us more details on why your phone stuck with that error message so that we can help you. You say you just got the phone second hand last week, so apparently the phone still works when you first get your hand on it. You must have done something to it, causing it to stuck with that error?

This is the state I got the phone in. I had taken a quick check on the internet to see how to resolve the issue, and thought it would be worth the cost of the phone (40 Euros) to try to fix it myself. Guess I was wrong!

I'm not sure whether this can help, but try mate.
1) Enter download mode and install stock rom using ODIN (preferred)
If this doesn't do the trick, try another EXPERIMENTAL alternative way,
2) Enter download mode, root your device using CF root using ODIN, flash a custom recovery using ODIN, boot into your custom recovery, flash a custom rom (risky)
I never encountered this before so I have no idea whether this can actually help or not, so do this at your own risk.
You are a star!

O.k the only way I know around this without finding your original firmware and flashing that, is to:
flash the firmware again, and wait until it fails again,
then hold vol down + power + home to get it to restart in to download mode again but keep odin open,
then flash CF autoroot .
then wait for the phone to reboot and it will install root then it will restart two more times on it own then should boot into the O.S.
(i take no responsibility if you mess up you device though but I have done this on more than one occasion and it always works for me)
I expect you could probably do this will another recovery(stock/twrp) instead of the CF autoroot one but have yet to try.
but you probably will be better off finding original firmware but you will not have Portuguese as you want.
Good luck with trying to fix your device

Maybe you can try each of the stock versions until you get the right one for your particular device. Also maybe a model number would help someone on here to identify what version you have, I don't know just throwing that out there.

Now it says to use samsung emergency recovery, which doesnt work.
I lost the paper that had all the info about my phone on it..
Ive tried using ODIN to flash multiple different stock roms for the g925a and it always says FAIL.
Ive tried not flashing the boot loader.
Ive tried using the appropriate PIT
Tried different cables and usb ports as well.
edit: the phone was encrypted and had the reactivation lock on as well
Thanks for any replies
Hello,
Where can you boot ? Normal - Download - Recovery
Which PIT file have you flashed to your device ?
What was the ROM you flashed on your device ?
Where does Odin fails while flashing ?

OE2, OF3, OCE, OJ9,BOI2 stock i have tried them all to no avail
Sadly I dont know what ROM was originally on the phone, I lost that paper with the info..
Odin will fail at different files, like sboot and others. Ive tried flashing with BL and without.
Thank you

Oh, you have got the phone like that?
Mm... Use SamFirm to download a full-wipe firmware (binary nature ticked).
Flash firmware with your PIT with Repart and Nand Erase All ticked in Odin

I tried flashing all of those stock firmwares above after it bricked and none seem to work.
Your program says "could not fetch info"
Im guessing I just havent got the right firmware to flash and I dont know what to use because I lost that paper with all the phones info.
What's your model and country ?
Have you put infos about device on SamFirm ?

SM-G925A bought in the US from the carrier "ATT".
Yes I tried SamFirm, it doesnt work for me. Unless I got the country code wrong.
Oh... If you have the AT&T version there's only the AT&T version.
Put "ATT" for the region.

You can boot into download mode on the phone?
Holding the volume down and power button at the same time? If so..
Use kies air, it will say that the phone is unsupported but still navigate to emergency firmware upgrade and put in the device model and S/N number located on the back of the phone or on the box, hope this works for you

I appreciate the help, but Ive tried that, and Smart Switch too. Just gives me an error after entering the serial number.
