Hi Guys,
Need some help and advice here. I've a problem with a loop boot up issue until I accidentally bricked it with Odin3 using a wrong MD5 file. The tablet cannot recognize itself in Odin3 (can't add) and the I'm stuck with an error like "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software. Yeah I use the Emergency recovery function and the message from the Switch PC Software ended up telling me this T819Y model isn't supported and please seek help from Service centre. I couldn't turn the tablet off because the power button couldnt turn itself off except going back to the error mode or download mode. Now going back to download mode is useless too as Odin3 is unable to see the tablet. Anyone can help? I've not been sleeping well for the last 24hrs...trying to fix this... any guru advice on the guide is very much appreciated..

I dont think that its a hard brick as once I had my phone hard bricked and I couldnot go even to download mode so its a softbrick, try flashing with Odin and if in vain nothing can make your phone come to life, Samsung store is ur solution
I believe this isn't a hard brick, as on a samsung device you would need have to lose the ability to get into download mode to call it a hard brick.

tha only thing that u can save ur phone is to flash full package not only one package coz tha main rison why it kips boot looping is that the bootloader has the iissue and never been fixed by only one package..try to flash full package with APPBOOT and it will continue booting..

Flash DDKQ8 Rom to your phone and you will be good to go ig its a soft brick
If you can get into download mode, you never need loose hope. I wondered if people wouldn't mind me hijaking with a related issue. My Ace is, for all intents and purposes, hard bricked (about a year ago, I had no idea what I was doing flashing roms so it's well deserved). However, I found out today that it can speak to my work computer, and xp even downloaded the drivers for me. No response on the screen, but booting into "recover mode" gives 2 lights on Odin. Anyone heard of this before?
Had a long time looking round the forums, and this is actually about the closest thread for me.
Hi,
I am sorry to post this topic but i badly need some experts to help me out with this. It would be very grateful if anyone of you could help me.
I have bricked my friend's samsung galaxy s i9000. Now i need to buy a new phone for her incase i dont get this one working.
I have searched on this forum and googled extensively, i tried almost every method on this forum to unbrick except the USB jig, all of them failed.
I have ordered USB jig online, and it is yet to be delivered to me. So that method is yet to be tested.
Meanwhile all i want now is some guidance, so that i could be self assured if what I am doing is right and i need some questions answered.
Please read the following to comprehend the entire problem.
1) The phone has froyo and it was working very slow, and i couldnt boot into download or recovery mode via 3 button combo. (why couldnt i boot into those modes?)
2) I connected the phone to samsung kies, and it said that there is an upgrade available. But the details for the upgrade were blank.
I went ahead and tried upgrading it, and it gave me 403 error. (why did it give null details of the upgrade firmware? and why did i get 403 forbidden access error? )
3) Next i connected to the phone via ADB, and i could successfully boot into download mode.
4) After booting into download mode, i connected it to odin. Then i tried flashing semaphore kernel v2.7.
I gave an error, write operation failed, and the flashing failed. (why did it happen?)
5) Next I couldnt boot the phone at all, I am stuck at the black screen of death aka bsod or the phone-!-computer screen.
6) I tried taking out battery, reinserting and tried severl combination of button to boot as explained at several places here, but none of them works. Neither am i able to connect it to odin, or adb.
WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW? IS IT HARD BRICKED OR SOFT BRICKED?
WHAT SHOULD I DO INCASE I AM ABLE TO BOOT INTO DOWNLOAD MODE USING USB JIG?
WHAT SHOULD I DO INCASE I AM NOT ABLE TO BOOT INTO DOWNLOAD MODE USING USB JIG?
Please help me, it will save me a new phone cost. I can hardly afford it.

Hello
I have a mini S3 and went to install CyanogenMod on it but the ODIN stopped in the middle of the installation, causing the Android stay corrupted and whenever I called this message appeared: "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again "
So I downloaded the original S3 mini according to my country and everything and I install ROM, well, the installation took place correctly but leave it stuck in boot start screen showing the phone model, then I install the ROM again but the ODIN stopped again and there came the problem ...
it does not turn on the power switch and the only way to 'make it light up the screen' is connecting the USB, but when I plug the cable it gets on and off the screen repeatedly at the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again " until I remove the cable and the phone turns off completely.
I hope you guys understand my problem and can help me please.
Already grateful : )! (sorry my english)
Try another computer or another cable. If it is stuck at boot screen, do a wipe/factory reset in recovery menu
Can't power on and enter on recovery menu

I can't do wipe/factory reset in the recovery menu because i can't power on at all. It keeps only blinks (on and off) all the time when its plugged on PC or charger.
Thanks very much for your support!
Did you see the s3 mini logo if you turn on the phone. If you see this works download mode then? if not then your phone is bricked....
When you try and turn the phone on does it display the phone name? Or does nothing happen? If you get nothing then I'm afraid it's bricked. I'd try a different computer, different lead and possibly a different windows os. Then try and flash a stock rom using odin and be 100% sure it's for the model of the phone you have as there's loads of variants of the s3. Other than that, I can't help you any further
Hi everyone,
At first sorry for my english. I`m Dawid from Poland
OK, so i have gt-i8190N and when i trying to turn it on i see only white screen. Screen is ok because i can run phone in download mode.
Of course everyone says " so try to flash rom by odin" but i can`t because in odin i have error "FAIL Get PIT for mapping There is no PIT partition". I was try to flash rom with PIT file (to i8190N and i8190) but without succes.
Are anyone have the same problem?
I was try OneClick also.
Thanks for any answer.
so im on oreo, i decide to downgrade to bra8 to upgrade to a newer version of oreo, i odin back, but while downgrading firmware my cat drops mt laptop and interupted it, now its bricked to the error occured while upgrading software please use smart switch mergency recovery, i did that but it says my device is not support for initalzing to rstore it, im guessing samsung removed that feature completely, is there any way i can fix this!??
No problem, start the update with Odin again. You just have to press vol down + power 7 sec and put the cell phone back in download.
Vol. Down+ bixby+power, when start vol up
When using emergency recovery be sure to use capital letters for any letters in your serial number. Good luck with your soft brick.

I have the same problem.. Getting that error. But I'm able to access my phone perfectly fine. Only problem is now Samsung apps saying my phone is rooted and I get error when trying to get in recovery mode, download mode or safe mode. So there is no way for me to Odin again. Phone is working 99.9% good with few errors. Let me knw if u have the solution. Thanks

a bit late reply but nevertheless for others who have the same problem like you and me, just solved it. so what I did: after my odin update was interrupted accidentally my phone also showed please use smart switch emergency recovery screen. downloaded smart switch but could not emergency recover (unsupported device problem - seems to me smart switch could not see my phone properly). after searching the web (that's how I found this thread ) and not finding any solutions i tried different tricks and found out that odin sees my phone but cant initialize firmware update since phone was not in download mode (after bixby+dwnload btn+pwr and pressing continue, the screen returned to please use smart switch emergency recovery screen) but I did not give in and did the following to successfully update my firmware:
1. start odin (place respective files in respective fields of your firmware), you wont be able to initialize the process while please use smart switch emergency recovery screen is shown;
2. connect your phone to odin and press bixby+dwnload btn+pwr combination the way to see options - volume down to shut down the phone (but you wont be able to shut it down it will return to that terrible screen) and press volume up to continue, after pressing the continue button you will hear that connection sound and this time you will be able to initialize the process and update your firmware.
good luck everybody on restoring your soft bricked Samsung devices (mine was unlocked note 8 (SM-N950U1).
Hi everyone, I was using this forum for a long time but this is the first post I've ever written.
Let me explain my problem:
I was rooting my SM-M215F/DSN and Odin gone mad for some reason and bricked the phone. Now phone is on a loop with screen sayin "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function." Usually I can fix this kind of situations but this time I cannot fix this and hope someone can help me with it. This was not my first ROOT but for this phone it was.
These are the things I've already tried:
1) Tried to reboot phone to download mode. After pressing Volume (-) & Power it don't let me do anything and goes back to that warning screen directly.
2) Drained all battery power to kill phone, but when I connect it to grid it goes back to that screen again.
3) Used emergency recovery with Smart Switch but get an error "SM-M215F does not support initializing"
4) Odin cannot connect to phone in this mode so it cannot turn back to stock firmware
5) Someone has told in this forum that it's another kind of download mode and use Heimdall. I've tried it and it detects the device but while downloading .pit file it gives "ERROR: Failed to access device. libusb error: -12". I am a little bit n00b on Heimdall so I gave up.
So if anyone can help I will be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.
After a real struggle I've found my own solution so need to share with community.
Tenoshare ReiBoot for Android free version let me exit from download mode.
Hope this helps.
