Help with Flashing Stock ROM - SM GALAXY S8 - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hey everyone. First of all I'm sorry if I create this thread into a wrong category. I'm new in this forum, just here to ask for you guys's help.
My phone is stuck, or better saying it's at bootloop. I don't have a Sd Card, but an USB and a port to connect it with my Galaxy S8.
I don't think I will be able to flash a ROM with Odin so I decided to flash it with USB.
I'm currently downloading a 7z file.
My question is that does it matter if the ROM that I'll flash is a .ZIP file or 7z file ? Would it cause any more trouble because I really do not know if it can get any worse.
I hope somebody can help me clean this mess . All I did was remove the root from magisk and ta-daaa it got me a bootloop.
Thanks for helps from now.

Can you boot into Recovery Mode?
Power off your phone, than hold: Bixby + volume up + power on button until you see the recovery mode (up to 10 sec)

I can get into recovery mode, there's no problem in that. I downloaded a Rom but my phone didn't recognize the ROM since it was .7z file.
And I cannot flash with odin, I guess my phone's usb debug wasn't on before it got into loop.

Then why dont you just reflash/ reroot Magisk?
To flash files have be in Zip-format

Where do I get the file ?
//EDIT
Nevermind, I got it and flashed. You saved me, thank you for your help. I'd have never thought of rooting it back if you didn't help me right in time.

My volume up button broken so recovery mode is imposibble to reached. That's way i search any rooted stock rom flash with odin way only.
Thankss
If you know some one who had a phone like yours you can root it then make backup and then turn it into an Odin flashable package
Good Luck With That
How to make that backup to flashable package odin. That file must be .tar or .md5

Well you can flash a custom kernel after flashing stock ROM via ODIN.To flash a kernel of your choice,just download the kernel ZIP and extract boot.img from it.After that compress that boot.img to 'boot.img.tar' and flash it via ODIN.For rooting,there are some methods out there by which you can root your phone via PC.

Very helpful... But, actually my problem is in volume button (up and down) so recovery and download mode is hard to reached.
I think Odin is the only way, so i search any methods to root without recovery but not work (tried superoneclick).
The point is adding recovery mode in power menu needed root privileges so why i make this thread, and yeah if someone give me a method to flash rooted stock rom with Odin it's better, Isn't it ??
Thanks

you still wont be able to flash it via odin though with a faulty vol up button because although you can put the phone into download mode with a usb jig without button presses you need to push vol up to start the connection to pc - so if your vol up button doesnt work you will not be able to do this
best go get it repaired

Not broken, but just like volume down keep pressed infinitely. That was told hard but it can be to reach download mode and impossible for recovery mode, although my volume up was fine when booted to the rom and still dont get it why volume up can be 'read' when booting.
By the way i found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2786395
My problem temporary solved with that tool. Still learn guide workaround with Odin flashable packages.
Thanks
edit: For now i installing rom manager for get into recovery and such easier, this tool need root privilege that's why i make this thread.
Thanks everyone

[Q] n900w8 Won't boot into recovery mode

A few months ago I rooted my N900w8, installed custom recovery (cwm), and flashed Android L. Today I tried to update the recovery, planning on updating the ROM as well. But now no custom recovery works at all, even the one I had running before. When trying to boot into recovery it says booting recovery... like it should, and then the screen just goes blank, then the phone restarts. Sometimes getting stuck in a bootloop trying to boot to recovery, but usually just regularly booting and boots normally to Android L. So now I am unable to update my ROM because not a single custom recovery has worked and therefore I cant flash the .img files. Please Help!

I had the same issue except when I try to load recovery it would "forward" itself to download mode.
This may work for you, try re-flashing the latest CWM update with Odin. Place your phone in download mode by powering it off and holding Volume Down + Home + Power. Press volume up to proceed.
1. Download and extract
2. Run Odin as Administrator (Download if you don't have already)
3. Select CMW file from your download folder and place it in the "AP" section.
4. Start
When finished, Reboot holding Volume UP + Menu + Power Button. Vola!
Let me know if this works for you.

Yeah depending on which recovery I flash it'll either forward to download mode, get stuck in a boot loop trying to start recovery, or restart and load the ROM.
Unfortunately it still isn't working :/ I used the tool from this page (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446269) to convert the .img to a flashable odin file. Used the proper Canadian touch recovery (also tried recovery without touch) from this page (https://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager) and no luck. Tried to enter recovery mode, it says entering recovery mode, goes black for a few seconds, vibrates then restarts the phone in regular boot mode :/ Any more idea's?
Do I need to be flashing a recovery that supports Android 5.0.2 for it to work? Im so puzzled.
YES!! Finally I was able to get a TWRP 2.8.5.0 working. Downloaded latest version from the main TWRP site and flashed using ODIN, did not use the converting tool above, downloaded the TWRP as a .tar flashable file from their site. Thanks for the help!
Do I need to close this thread or anything? This is my first time posting on xda

Congratulations on solving your own problem! ^_^
I just figured to share my part when i experienced the same issue. I feel like it has somehow corrupt itself after it finished flashing which results in an empty directory for the recovery mode.

[Q] stuck on boot, no rom installed and can´t enter recovery

I´m stuck on boot and I don´t know why but I can´t enter in recovery mode with the volume down and power button combination. I was in TWRP recovery and had a failed rom flash, but I accidently touched the reboot button and now I´m stuck on the LG logo . No button combination is working for me :/ sorry for my english and pls help me what should I do?

A failed ROM flash shouldn't affect your /recovery partition. Unless it included a Recovery of course. What ROM did you flash? Your Kernel is probably stuck trying to load a non-existent user space (no ROM/bad system partition).
Make sure your device is fully powered off by holding the POWER button for 30 seconds. This will make sure your device is OFF.
I know you've tried one of these methods, but try both of these methods to access recovery JUST IN CASE..
Method 1 (JB Bootloader).
Turn device OFF. Press and HOLD Power + Volume Down. When the LG Logo appears let go of both buttons and again press and HOLD Power + Volume DOWN.
Method 2 (KK Bootloader).
Turn device OFF. Press and HOLD Power + Volume Down. When the LG Logo appears let go of both buttons and HOLD Volume UP + Volume DOWN.
Can you access Download Mode?
Turn phone OFF. Hold Volume UP and plug phone into PC via USB.
thank you for the fast reply, I tried it but I can´t access recovery mode.
But download mode is working, what would be the next step?

Return to Stock :good:.
I'm curious though.. what ROM did you try to flash?
I´m downloading right now thanks for your help.
But there are a few questions I would like to ask what does the download mode look like? I know it´s kind of a silly question but it shows
"firmware update
do not unplug the USB connection until the process is complete
0%
USER B84
ROOTED"
on my device is that normal? and my other question is am I going to lose all my data after flashing that kdz?
edit: I flashed a stock lp rom and it showed SystemUI error after boot so I couldn´t use it at all, at this point the button combinations for the recovery mode weren´t working,too but after waiting some time the SystemUI error was gone and I could use my phone for a few seconds so I kind of managed it to enter into recovery mode an tried to flash the latest darkobas rom but that failed...

Yes, that's the normal Download Mode screen.
B84 is your Battery Percentage.
The ROOTED text is just telling you that your phone has been Rooted.
When flashing your KDZ you have 2 options.. CSE Flash and Normal Flash.
CSE Flash will wipe all partitions. Choose this if you want to start fresh.
Normal Flash will wipe some partitions and keep your data.
Don't change any of the other options!
I recommend you do a CSE Flash too be honest. I haven't messed with Lollipop enough and have never done a Normal Flash over it.
for some reason it is failing at 2%
Radon7 said:

Click to collapse
Is that using Normal Flash?
Have you tried CSE Flash?
What model variant of the G2 do you have?
Lollipop changes your partition scheme a little so trying to flash a KK KDZ over a Lollipop partition scheme will cause errors, unless you do a CSE Flash. This is also why once you flash LP you can't just flash a KK ROM afterwards. First you need to revert your partition scheme back to what KK needs.
So with all that said.. do a CSE Flash. If you're rooting and flashing data using custom recovery you should always have a back up of all your data/media on your PC anyway .
it´s the same using both methods normal and cse :/
I have the d802 version, and I´m trying to flash a lollipop kdz, should I try it with a kitkat one?
I also found this thread but I don´t know if it´s useful because I need working recovery for it to work I think

Yes try a KK KDZ. If the KK KDZ continues to fail, try the TOT Method (the TOT method is under the KDZ method).
Yes that's the post I made a while ago.. which I was going to possibly link you to if you had a D802 .. but I forgot you can't seem to access Recovery at all.

Help me please! I did every step you detailed, and I managed to make a nandroid backup with TWRP. But now I am unable to boot back into my system. Every time I click on reboot into system it boots back into TWRP... I did not think that making a backup on TWRP would soft-brick my phone, but it has.
Is there any suggestions you could give me to fix this? Was it my fault for using an app to restart my phone into recovery? Is there a way to boot into system from the TWRP terminal?
If it matters, when I boot up my phone I see this message on the top:
"Recovery is not seandroid enforcing
set warrenty bit: recovery"

Your backup probably got corrupt. Errors, unfortunately, do happen. You may have to flash this firmware to your device to get it working.

Mine did the same thing. I flashed with flashfire booted into twrp made a backup then tried booting into system but it just reboots me back into recovery.. i flashed just the stock recovery afterwards and it booted right into system.. i tried wiping system data cache internal storage dalvix cache then restoring the backup but it still booted into twrp instead of system. Like i did say it did boot right into system after flashing the stock recovery.
Works

i tried skyneel .com guide

Hi bro. İ have same problem 8 months ago and i know this fix.
First. Sorry for my bad english.
You must wait the battery fully discharge. Because you cant make anything now.
When fully discharged phone. You plug charge and press wolume down+power+home. You can go to download mode this way. You must flash the original firmware via odin.
And if you want flash twrp again this step is required.
Go Settings page in odin and untick the auto reboot.
And manually go to recovery mode by download menu after install.

Ok, do the 3button combination as if you are booting into download mode. As soon as screen goes black, keep power and home key pressed down but move to volume up. You have to be quick before it boots to download. This will get you to recovery.
