580 stuck at Downloading... - Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers

Hello!
So my 580 (rooted, stock) is stuck in Download mode. This followed a Magisk update and reboot, and it seems like I can't even power the device off - even through TWRP, choosing Power Off reboots it and I'm stuck with Downloading...
Any ideas what to try? Should I reflash the ROM through Odin (which parts?), and if so, what will I lose?
Thanks for listening
PS tried flashing a known good Magisk zip, aborted with:
ERROR: 1 because: "Unable to unpack boot image". Any help greatly appreciated...
PS2: Tried flashing Magisk Uninstaller, interesting: it failed with "Magisk is not installed!".

Seems like you've actually wiped the device.
Flash stock firmware with odin and start again.

Not sure how I could've wiped it - I did nothing of the sort that leads to it, like going into settings, recovery or Odin
But in any case, I did have to reflash from start and set up my device again... what a PITA!

[Q] Unfortunately, (all services) have stopped

I was L17(5.0) Dr Ketan's ROM. I had done all the flashing on TWRP.
Today when i tried to go to recovery, it landed on stock recovery and not TWRP.
And when rebooted the phone it constantly gave me error messages one by one that "Unfortunately, ... service has stopped"
My first question is TWRP won't work on android 5.0?
I tried flashing TWRP through odin but it failed and gave this error: Complete(Write) operation failed
Did i do something wrong?
All help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Edit: Now when i try to go to recovery/reboot it says firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Go to recovery in Kies
All i did was unsuccessfully tried to flash twrp/cwm.
I got the same error, when I was trying to flash TWRP2.8.3.0 via odin. I corrected issue by by trying to go back to download mode and flashing another recovery.. as I remember.
Please check whether you can go to download mode??

I can go to download mode but I'm unable to flash CWM also.. can you give the recovery which you flashed?

CM13 running OK but can't get recovery "secure booting error"

After installing CM13 (coming from 20H stock 4.4.2 firmware) I somehow ended up in the hard-brick Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 mode.
I fixed this using these steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142 writing that old 2.6.3.2 TWRP and other .bin files extracted from the .kdz
Phone boots OK into CM13 now, but when I try to get into recovery (either using Power+Vol Down or through Advanced Reboot in CM) I get the error:
Secure booting error
Error: Boot Certification Verify!

Does anyone know how I can fix this, and flash TWRP? Tried TWRP Manager, Flashify etc, but they all give a flashing error. All fixes for this which I have found online seem to be for people who are running a stock ROM.
(I know going into download mode and returning to stock again etc will sort this, but surely that's not necessary?)

Bricked Moto XT1562

Hi , newbie help needed here!
have tried to root my moto and installed twrp properly. everything stopped working fine after i tried to install supersu. i tried to reflash stock image however for some reason twrp stopped working and I cannot run cwm either. the errors from cwm read:
"unable to load kernel"
while on twrp the system kept looping while attempting to install - i got errors such as "cannot find e: data" or "cannot mount e:" etc.
Has anyone come across this situation? Thanks in advance.
How did you get cwm recovery when it's still not available for mxp?...
Download stock firmware and RSD lite and flash it. RSD lite only works on windows 7.. otherwise you have to flash firmware manually.

Soft Brick - FAILED TO MOUNT SYSTEM - Help

Good night guys, so there's my problem:
I was on DN 0.6.1 custom ROM, TWRP 3.0.2.0 and rooted. Today, i wanted to go back to stock ROM, so, I downloaded the stock firmware throught sammobile, and tried to install it throught ODIN 3.11, but it's stopped at system.img, and remained stuck in it for a long time. so i decided to restart the phone..
Then it's showed the follow message:
firmware upgrade encountered an issue note 4. Please select recovery mode on kies and try again.
So, i tried to re-flash throught ODIN, but stucked at system.img again, after it, I downloaded KIES and tried restore it, but it's stopped at 2%.
I wasn't abble to go to recovery mode, only download mode, so, i extracted the ROM file, and flashed only the boot.img through ODIN. Now it's boot to recovery...
I wiped data/cache, but the following error showed up:
E: Failed to mount system (invalid argument).
and now i can't find a solution for it.. tried to do amost anything that i could find on the internet, but none solved my problem...
I'm wanting to flash PIT + CSC + PDA file, using the repartition option on ODIN, but i'm afraid that may brick my phone for ever...
I'm following this tutorial by now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...te-4-pit-files-repartiton-f-g-c-t-w8-t3282641
And i need this CSC file, because my phone is the C version, could someone give me link to download it ? couldn't find in any place.
ANd there's someone who could help me ? i'm very concerned about it because i don't have money to buy another phone at the moment...
Thanks, and yes, already looked at XDA for a answer but couldn't fine any.
THANK YOU :good:
Anyone ?

A20e (SM-A202F) stuck in download mode - error validating footer

Hello, i hope someone can help me. My goal was to install lineageos on the A20e. So i unlocked the bootloader succesfully. Then i wanted to install TWRP. I used heimdall for flashing (with: heimdall flash --recovery twrp.img). The process ended without any errors. But since this point the phone stuck in download mode. When i restart the phone (volume down + power) the phone runs rapidly into the download mode. On the top left corner it show an error message (look at the screenshots). I tryed to flash twrp again for two or three times and one times the orange recovery - the results are the same.
I can still reach the phone via heimdall or odin. i have downloades the latest stock rom. So i hope to unbrick the phone - but until now i have no idea how to do. Please tell me, if you know some hints. You can also post if you think its hopeless and there ist no way to unbrick the phone.
Update: I have flashed the stock rom via odin succesfully. now it starts normaly. Do i want to do a next try ;-) ...
Thread can be closed...
Thank U
Jan
