I attempted to flash my SM-T970 XAR with stock firmware using Odin. It failed, and now says "An error has occurred while updating the device software". Is there any way I can recover or have I just bricked my S7+? Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Try the Samsung smart switch(PC) to recovery if not you need fine the frp hijack by hagard do recovery(sofebrick)...reboot it will got you back to download mode.
Smart switch was unable to locate the device, but I tried flashing again using Odin and it worked this time! No idea why the first time failed - I did it exactly the same way.

Everyone who sends their device to http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-note/ has been very happy and mentions it takes about a week.
And you can always send it back to Samsung.
Hello, I'm using Samsung s4 (GT-I9505 carrier free) device and I tried to root my device with ODIN. But the process got failed and now my device is briked. When I switch on my device I get an error "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again". I tried recovering my device using kies but kies was unable to initialize my device model. Please help me to unbrick my device. Thanks in advance.
Recently I have tried to root my Samsung Galaxy 3 7.0 (SM-T210R) WiFi edition. After unsuccessfully attempting to install a custom rom, I believe I have accidentally deleted the stock rom for the device..So now, whenever I turn the device on, it automatically brings me to CWM recovery. I have tried to install a different rom onto the device unsucessfully, giving me an error saying "format() expects 5 args, got 4" It also says (Status 7). I have also tried to connect my device to my computer and hook it up to Odin, but Odin does not recognize the device. If anybody is able to resolve my issue I would greatly appreciate it.

I can not do either of those methods, because my computer no longer recognizes this device when I plug it in.

i think you have same problem as in this thread
I recently bought a GS5 Att model SM-G900A and attempted (foolishly it would seem) to downgrade the OS version. Unfortunately this caused some sort of issue that has forced the phone to be unable to boot or enter recovery mode. It will go into download mode but neither Odin nor Kies can seem to flash. Kies gives a falure and prompts me to recover but it wont recognize the phone to recover it. Odin always falils after Nand writing and the phone gives SW rev check fail : aboot fused 4> binary 1. After some research I suspect it has something to do with the 5.0 OS making it impossible for the 4.4.2 to flash. But I cant seem to find G900AUCU2AND3 anywhere and even kies doesn't find it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
Hi,
First, sorry for my bad English.
After a ODIN failed, my phone is bricked with this message : "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software."
I wanted to flash this ROM by ODIN, i put it in "AP" : http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/74283/G920FXXS3DPF1_G920FOXA3DPDP_XEF
Before it, i had a problem, my tel boot again and again on Samsung screen. I couldn't switch on my phone. But download mode still worked.
Since this flash, i have this error message.
After this problem, i tried to flash this ROM, but the problem persists : http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/45306/G920FXXU1AOCV_G920FOXA1AOCV_XEF
The flash failed again.
I tried emercengy recovery on Smart Switch but it doesn't recognize my phone.
ODIN still recognizes it.
Do you have an idea for my problem ?
I had an origin ROM, my phone was just rooted since few months.
My phone was bought in pre-order in march 2015 on samsung.fr (i'm french).
Thanks a lot !
Hi !
I tried to flash a full ROM (with 4 files) : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B40ItdHKfkyQZkJtZlNseF9yMGc
It's failed at sboot.img
I flashed the CSC alone. I have now the download mode. And when i want to start my phone, he's in bootloop.
When i'm in the other mode (not download, the other), i can see a version of ROM : G920FXXU3DPBG
So i tried to flash this rom : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B40ItdHKfkyQQ1AyUHduRV9NM2c
But same problem...
Any help please ?
