Hi, I have m30s and like any other samsung phones I started getting automatic restart problems. I read from this, and thought may be custom os, Kerel may solve the issue.
Hence I tried to flash Twrp from here. I forgot to uncheck auto reboot while flashing using odin. Got PASS in odin and phone restarted only to get stuck in Bootloop. Can't enter download mode too.
Vol up + vol down - no action
Vol up + power - no action
Power + vol down - reboots and gets in bootloop
Did I brick my phone?
Help me please
When your phone is currently able to only restart by pressing Power & Vol- then do following:
Release buttons for restart when the screen goes black. Immediately push Vol+ & Vol- and insert with PC connected USB Cable.

Hello,
I create a new thread because all "hard/soft bricked" topic are not the same as me.
I explain, my sister give me a galaxy S4 (i9505 variant) who has fell into the water, the eMMC seems corrupted.
The phone has "boot order" problem:
- If i try to boot normaly (just pressing power button), the phone boot in recovery mode
- If i try to boot while pressing vol down + home + power, the phone boot in "normal mode" (android seem not damaged)
- If i try to boot while pressing vol up + home + power, i show the "samsung galaxy s4" splash screen and the phone reboot in recovery mode
The only way for me to start in download mode is to boot android (using vol down + home + power) and using ADB with "adb reboot download".
I've tryed to flash pit, rom (who is stock rom i9505XXUHOF2) and trying "bootloader update" option of odin, nothing change, the "boot order" is always wrong !
I'm not sure, so i think it's Qualcomm firmware who manage the "boot order", if yes, how can i redefine it?
If no, do you have some informations/solution that can help me to have the phone working "normaly"?
Thank you in advance for your reply.
Kev
Try this: uncheck everything in Odin except f.reset time, flash stock rom, remove USB cable from the phone, remove battery, wait 5 seconds, replace battery, boot into recovery, perform factory wipe, remove battery, try to get into download mode again.
Do the volume buttons work when the phone has booted into android?
Hi audit13,
Thx for your reply
I've tryed what you suggest so boot order is always wrong.
Volume buttons work fine (i need them to boot android).
The problem isn't to get the download mode, so key combinaison to boot method, before phone feel water, keys combinaison was:
power button => boot android
vol down + home + power => download mode
vol up + home + power => recovery mode
And after feel the water:
Power button => recovery mode
Vol down + home + power => android boot
Vol down + vol up => download mode
If it can help, while phone is shutdown and charging, the phone vibrate every 3 seconds and didn't charge, if i just press vol+ and vol- keys during 2~3 seconds, the battery logo appear and the phone start to charge. A second thing i've see, when i'm on android, if i use the "reboot" function, the phone reboot in recovery mode.
It seem that the bootloader didn't boot on the good partition.
I've see an option in odin v3.10.7 called "auto start" and can take value from 1 to 8 (or nothing), do you think this can be a setting that allow user to define the partition number used to start?
I updated TWRP to 3.1.1.2 inside TWRP. The issue I encounter now is that my S8 stucks on the very first booting screen. You know the very first screen where it stated "Samsung Galaxy S8" and down below "powered by android".
I can't do anything. It's just like the phone has frozen at that state. Nothing works anymore. Even If I try to turn it off by pressing Volume down + Bixby + power button, it just restart and get stucks at the boot screen again and again. There's NO boot loop.
I'm on europe version of the Galaxy S8
stock rom and rooted (Magisk)
Got TWRP installed but after updating TWRP the phone freeze at the very first booting screen.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks for your efforts!
First of all - make sure you have the correct TWRP for your device. I know for myself that by searching google I got the S8+ twrp at first and flashed it by mistake without noticing.
Then try this-
Connect your device to a power socket (pc or wall, doesn't matter)
When you are on the very first screen, turn off the device by pressing Power + Volume down. Your device will shut down and you will see the charging animation.
Once you see it, disconnect the device from the USB and try one of the following:
Power + Volume up + Bixby for recovery mode
or
Power +Volume down + Bixby for download mode
I think the download mode will work, then just flash a stock rom or the correct recovery and try again
I failed right at the second step. Once I connect my S8 to power socket and tried to turn of the device by pressing Volume down + Power, the device turnt off for about 2 seconds and then reboot again to the very first screen. Even if my S8 is on power socket, I do not see the charging animation. So that is why I cannot continue with step 3.
Any Ideas buddy?
EDIT:
I got it enter the download mode
I downloaded the TWRP img from here https://eu.dl.twrp.me/dreamlte/
After enter the download mode, I flash TWRP via odin. It passed via Odin but my S8 doesn't enter TWRP but instead stuck at the very first boot screen.
Any ideas, buddy?
EDIT:
I've solved it myself. Thanks for your efforts!
I got the exact same problem but how did u do it please help me
Hi I just got the exact same problem as you but I cannot get how I would fix it please help???
Edit: I got it to download mode but I do nut understand how I would flash it
The only way around this I found was to Odin back to stock https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/development/rom-galaxy-s8-t3749444
Then follow the instructions to reinstall twrp using odin https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-s8-exynos-t3847712/post77735501#post77735501

Here’s how to enter Safe Mode on a Galaxy S10 smartphone:
Shut down your Galaxy S10 smartphone
Hold the Power button key and release it when the SAMSUNG logo appears on the display
Right afterward, press and hold the Volume Down button
Hold the Volume Down button until the device boots up, and the Safe Mode text appears in the bottom left corner

Attempted to flash
[ROM][11.0][UNOFFICIAL] Nexus Stock for 2019 Galaxy Tab A 10.1 [SM-T510]
using TWRP and it rebooted to the G but wouldn't load.... restart and now I'm in a FOREVER bootloop:
Ideas? I've tried holding Power + Vol Up, Power + Vol Dwn, Power+Vol Up+Vol Dwn, connecting to computer for adb which doesnt see any devices so I can't force into recovery... ANY help would be great!
Can you go in the Download Mode?
Nope.... I actually got it fixed LOL.... I had to remove the back, disconnect the battery... hold the vol + and vol - plug battery back in and then attach to computer to power on... THAT put me in download mode to fix..... but trying it without disconnecting the battery... it wouldn't shut down, I could hold the power button for a week and it just kept going through the loop
Hi, my device is boot-looping forever. I cannot enter recovery (I have TWRP installed). I cannot even switch it off.
What I have tried:
- normal switch off through power button (device is not switching off). It always restarts itself
- reboot to recovery (Power + Vol Up)
- reboot to bootloader (Power + Vol Down)
- force hard reset (Power + Vol Down for 7 seconds, then Power + Volume Up)
None is working.
Can I enter the recovery, maybe issuing some commands from a computer?
Any other option I could try?
Thanks!

No, the PC won't help. The trick is to hold power and vol down and as soon as the screen blanks, switch from VOL down to up, while keeping power button pressed. You have to be quick when switching or it will just bootloop again. And the cable shouldn't be plugged in.
Thanks, this helped. I recovered from the bootloop.
Hi, I'm stuck in bootloop too. The fix above isn't working for me. Could somebody discribe the process a bit differently please? Maybe I'm doing it wrong? What exactly is the time to switch from volume down to up?
My bootloop shows the Samsung logo then a warning about unlocked bootloader with prompt to press power and then the Samsung bootlogo again. Inbetween the screen turns of for a few seconds.
I was able to go to download mode by connecting the tablet to my pc and pressing vol + and - at the same time. Then I installed the nexus rom by Magendanz. Made a factory reset and format data in twrp. Everything is fine now.
