I was flashing latest stock rom with odin on SM-J415F. Then error comes up like invalid img.ext4 and file size is big. After that phone automatically shuts down. When I tried to go into download mode again it crashed. Now it is restarting with screen saying 'An error has occurred while updating software. Use emergency smart switch software.' Main problem is, it is not properly on. It is only restarting after 3-4 seconds coming up with that error screen. I can't even go to download mode. Again it crashes and again it restarts. It is happening when connected to a charger or connected to a pc.
Somebody please help. If anyone wants to know more about my problem I can answer that.
Irrespective of whether its rebooting or displaying that error just plug the USB cable in and hold POWER + VOL UP + VOL DOWN.
Crashing and Restarting again
I did that. Warning screen comes. I pressed volume up button to go to download mode. As soon as phone goes in download mode it crashed again and restarting again and again with that error screen.
Thanks for your help.
I will look at that option.
Now I will go to samsung service center and see what they can do.
If they solves my problem then no issues and if not I will go to phone fixer and will do necessary steps.

I faced that .
my battery was empty as I faced bootloop from flashing something ,
and when I was flashing stock phone reboot .
and I faced that.
maybe your battery is empty .
also charging phone won't work .
go to phone fixer and ask him to open phone ( back not from front as screen will damage ) and extract battery (extract by tiny tool from the top as from down u will damage screen )
and charge battery by this :

2- if that happens again u can open back of the phone by blade .

I have a rooted i777 with SHOstock rom, I haven't updated the rom for a few months so I'm not sure which version it is.
The phone was working yesterday and it suddenly got stuck so I tried to reboot it (had to take out the battery because the power button didn't respond) but now each time I try to turn it on it is stuck on a black screen with the logo "Samsung Galaxy SII" and won't progress.
I tried to boot to recovery but it shows a screen saying "CWM-based Recovery v6.0.2.7" but it doesn't go pass the screen to show the recovery menu (it just reboots after being stuck on this screen for about a minute).
I tried to boot to download mode and succeeded, but every time I connect the device to my pc, the pc doesn't recognize it
(I tried re-installing kies, but it didn't help and probably the problem is not with the pc drivers because if I connect my wife's unrooted i777 to the pc it does recognize it).
so now I don't have clue what else to try.
any advice will be appreciated.
Make sure you have Odin v1.85 on your Windows PC. Look in the Windows Add/Remove programs dialog (or Uninstall a Program dialog) to see if you have SAMSUNG USB driver for mobile phones.
Open Odin on the desktop. Next put the phone into download mode by holding down vol + and vol - while plugging in the USB cable.
If Odin recognizes your phone, flash back to stock. I would recommend UCMD8 stock firmware, which you can get from the Download Repository.
don't know what happened to it but now it doesn't even turn on.
it's stopped turning on before I had a chance to try what you suggested.
now even if I connect it to the charger it doesn't show the charging status.
is there any other "force something" I can try?

Remove the battery and leave it out. Connect the USB cable to your PC. While holding down the vol- button (also try it with both vol- and vol+) but not the power button, plug the USB cable into the phone. The computer will provide the power. If this works, your phone will go into download mode. If not... you have very likely had some kind of hardware failure.
unfortunately it didn't work.
can't get it to download mode.
I'll try to leave the battery out for a longer time and try again.
should I try ordering a JTAG usb and see if it puts it in download mode or
probably my only option is to send it to mobiletechvideos?
I had the same problem, Your battery got too low. Pull your battery and leave it out for a while 15 mins or so. Put the battery back in and connect charger. Let the battery charge for a while without trying to turn on phone. The phone will not turn on with a dead battery even if it is connected to charger.
I just solved a problem that I didn't find any help with, so I thought I would post it here in case somebody else needs help out of this situation, and this is a recent and related thread.
After I pulled the battery of my i777 to test in another phone, without remembering to power my phone off first, it would only hang at the Samsung boot logo (stock UCMD8 ROM, rooted, stock recovery). Normally the Samsung boot screen shows for only about five seconds. Pulling the battery wouldn't get it to boot right. Holding Power to force a reboot didn't solve it. After clearing the cache it would move to the AT&T Rethink Possible screen once, then reboot and then again get hung on the Samsung logo screen. Also my battery was heating up a lot as it was hung.
I could get into both download mode and recovery. I tried reflashing my ROM from the stock file in ODIN since that would save all of my data IF it worked. This still didn't get it to boot past the first logo. Finally doing a factory reset on stock recovery is what solved my problem. I had to re-add my account and reload apps from scratch, etc.
Hello Guys,
I am facing an uncommon issue.. Yesterday i was using my phone normally and suddenly it started to bootlooping. I thought it is a normal boot loop so tried to enter into recovery mod but no luck.:crying::crying::crying:
Then i tried To start odin to flash stock ROM. but after i enter into download mode it asks do you want to continue... Nothing happens when i press up volume key and after few moments phone reboots. At first I thought it was a Volume key issue. But even if i keep it on the confirmation window the phone reboot in sometime..
One more thing when i kept phone for charging it shows charging icon for some time and then it shuts down and shows charging icon again..
If anyone have any solution please help..
Thanks
Sounds like the power button is shorted out, warranty repair required.
What rom are you on? More details needed..
Hello to all,I am in a serious trouble with my samsung galaxy player 5.0 International China version . I rooted this with super one click.And it was successful and there was no problem.But as soon as I overwrote a file in lib folder of system,it got stuck.I tapped the power key and the screens light was gone.I again tapped but there was no response.So I held the power key for a while and the device restarted.But it got stuck on samsung logo and began to restart again and again.So I took it to download mode and tried to nand erase with odin,I thought it could format the device and my device would be fixed.But it took some time and I closed odin.Then I held the power key and it restarted with a black screen containing a picture of malfunctioning connection between a phone and computer at its middle.Then I again tried to t-flash it and again closed it without completion because my notebook had no charge.After that I flashed my device with the YP-G70-Kernel-r14 and it restarted with download mode.But if I hold the power key for a while it restart and again go to the brick showing screen(I heard that this brick is called soft brick).I downloaded two stock rom STOCK_G70XXKPH_G70XXKPH_XEF and G70XXKPL_G70XXKPL_XEF.I tried to flash them in my device with odin and they succeeded.But none of them could fix my problem.They remain in download mode and if I hold the power key the device again go to the soft bricked screen.My device isn't force shutting down.If I hold the power key the screen goes and again lights up with the bricked screen.Now,my device has become very hot and after 8-9 hours it has automatically turned off.But if I connect it to the charger it again lighten up with bricked screen.

I don't have a samsung device myself but if you can get in download mode and you can from what you described. What happened is that you deleted a driver (from the lib folder) that was necessary for boot (something important). To get to stock go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192488 download the right Firmware for your device. And the right pit file (pit file is the partition layout of the device). Flash using the pit file you got. You will fix that. Good luck.
Stock rom and pit file downloaded

So,I am in the download mode.I downloaded the firmware (XXXKPL) and the intl pit file.Now what options would be checked in odin and where will I put the firmware file(PDA or Bootloader)?The device has no charge.If I connect to the charger,it wakes up and becomes very hot than normal.And I can't turn it off.Its battery is non-removable.Thank you for your valuable help.
Hey all so I'm having trouble with the SM-G890A Galaxy S6 Active. One day the phone just kept going into a restart loop, so I took it into the T-mobile store to see what they could do to fix it as they are my current phone service provider. NOTE: The phone is originally from AT&T. They went through all the different combinations of Power + Volume Up/Down + Home buttons and could not fix the phone. Eventually after messing with it more, they stumbled on the "No command" dead android screen, at that point I just got a new phone. I took the S6 home for further trouble shooting, and was able to use Odin to flash the original firmware successfully.
However, now the phone now get stuck on "Installing update" screen (I've tried leaving it on this screen for 72 hours and it did not complete) when trying to restart the phone.
After trying going into recovery mode, the phone just restarts before I can select any options. I've tried scrolling down to factory reset, but before I can confirm pressing the power button, the phone freezes and restarts.
I've also tried letting the battery die out, and starting over, however, I'm unable to even get the battery charging screen to come up after the phone dies. The phone now always has a white/pink LED on whether the phone is plugged in or not.
I'm not sure where to go from here to fix the phone, any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
PM me for a link to an image of the recovery mode screen as I cannot yet post image links on the forums.
Hi , you can try the following steps :
- First let the battery to discharge out completely 0% if it stays on led light let him like that for 2 days to discharge the battery.
- After that put your phone to Original charger for 3 - 4 hours to be charged.
-Once your phone is charged go to the next step.
- Download this firmware :
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0By7ytf2nnXE8RGREVV9VRGxjNzQ/view
- Once you download extract on Desktop with 7-Zip and put each file to odin one by one (see short video) :
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5iuIvmgitAFZFlhU3dqSTdRNm8/view
- Try to put your device into Download mode , VOl - + Home + Power button ....
Good luck

Hey Teddy, Thank you for the info. I've tried letting the battery die out and re-flashing with a G890A_G890AUCS7DRA2_ATT_USA_v7.0.1 folder found elsewhere. I'll try letting the battery die out again and re-flashing with the source you provided. Cheers.
Hey Teddy, small update, the ZIP file you linked me for the firmware is password protected, would you happen to know the password to unzip the folder?
Hi , try this password: [email protected] or just thonguyen.info .
Hey! So in short I've managed to software brick my a20e.
As soon as you turn it on it goes to "an error has occurred while updating the device software use emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software" but the device is not recognised.
So I did the logical thing of going to Odin, downloaded stock ROM anddd.. doesn't let me boot to download mode. I'm stuck on "an error occurred" screen.
Any ideas on a fix for this?
You can either drain the battery by just letting it boot loop/error screen then give it a little charge and see if it goes into download mode. Or see if it will go into recovery mode that would not require a PC USB connection.

K the fact Recovery is gone is kinda bad but the last time I bricked a phone it took me a while to get it into DL mode due to the button combo and make sure it has a couple of % of charge so if you get it stuck again you can boot loop it dry and try again. Also, consider if still possible to install TWRP and a custom ROM TWRP is more reliable in humble opinion for recovery.

As soon as I plug in a charger it turns straight on to the error, power+ vol up+down just reboots the phone back to error can't get to download mode at all.
I checked the combo is turn on then hold volume up + volume down + insert USB. I use this tool so I do not charge the phone: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32977246421.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.6dd94c4dMbXeKj
And the combo can be found here: https://www.hardreset.info/devices/samsung/samsung-galaxy-a20e/download-mode/
