Hi, exactly !
Flash TWRP recovery using my tutorial : https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/guide-tutorial-samsung-galaxy-s3-i9300-t3491788
After step 3, go to TWRP Mount menu and Mount phone as USB storage.
All your data is there.
Then you can continue with tutorial to install Android 7 or Android 9.

[Q] Unable to load stock firmware (US Cellular)

My phone has gone into emergency recover and I've tried to recover it by flashing it with both "Odin" and the samsung "SimpleUpgradeTool" but it has failed everytime I've tried it.
I have the SCH-530 from US Cellular and am unsure on what to try next.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Need Help With Soft Brick

Hello,
I recently borrowed my roommate's Verizon S4 because my phone broke. I rooted it because I have a different provider.
However, in my root addicted mind-set, I decided to get a custom ROM installed and so I tried to download recovery. This phone was running 5.0.1.
Upon downloading a recovery, the phone soft-bricked. It shows the Samsung logo with a wrench, and makes an error message when attempting to boot.
I tried using Odin to flash the stock firmware, but I kept getting the following error:
<ID:0/003> Odin engine v(ID:3.1005)..
<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..

I've searched long and far and have yet to find a solution. I know that the reason for this issue is most likely due to the 5.0.1. build, but I was hoping that maybe something had developed in the last few months.
Any and all help is appreciated.
Also, I am not able to boot into recovery, but I am able to boot into download mode - I also reinstalled the Samsung drivers, and am using Odin 10.6. I tried using the ME7 firmware, but that didn't lead to much either.
I recently found a Verizon Software Assistant file and my phone won't be recognized on the application. Not sure what next steps are. I posted on reddit too, and no luck there either.

Please help, completely wiped my phone and cant reflash any ROM

Selling my G925F (Galaxy S6 Edge) and it was rooted with CarHD Rom that I used, I wanted to remove this and return it back to stock so I tried doing a few ways to unroot it with much fail, I ended up using the TWRP recovery and wiping absolutely everything...
Now I am in ODIN trying to flash a ROM I found for my phone, its not working. Its either sticking on ConnectionSetup and then telling me WriteError or something..
I am 100% in download mode, I have downloaded the latest SAmsung mobile drivers. Just cant get it to work, whether or not the ROM I am trying to flash is bad I dont know, so I am back on this forum trying other ROMS, even trying other custom ROMS just to get the phone up and running again but it seems the way you flash these ROMS is not via ODIN and that you actually need the phone to be working to do so?
Can anyone help me sort this out please, if this is what classing "bricked" as, please help me unbrick

I'll try to help as failing with odin can be common.
To start with TWRP is a recovery file to replace stock recovery not a bootloader.
What is the model name ( ie: sm-g965f)?
How have you tried to install TWRP ( the steps taken ) or are you following a guide ( which one )?
Also if you can post a copy of your Download screen would help as well or at least the first 11 lines.
While you can use TWRP version 3.3.1-1 the latest version is 3.5.2_9-0. You can use TWRP website to download ( twrp.me )
Hmm i dont know it why it happend but suddenly it worked!
Thank you for your help anyway!
Regards Henning
