bootloader issue - Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers

hey! i have an samsung galaxy j3-j330FN (2017) i couldnt find the 2017 j3 from the forums so i went here but anyway the issue is that the phone is not letting me use custom OS or recovery even tho oem unlocking is enabled it only lets me do it the first time after reflashing stock os and then after power off it says only official roms are allowed to be flashed what could this mean? this phone did work normally before evne with twrp and root but not now? as far as im aware this phone doesnt require the bootloader to be unlocked it just needs it to be allowed according to many tutorials on youtube

1. Tick USB Debugging and OEM Unlock in Developer Mode (OEM has to be ticked to unlock the bootloader)
2. Connect to PC with USB Cable and open Odin
3. Power off and reboot into Download Mode (VOL.DOWN+HOME+POWER)
4. Add twrp.zip to AP tab
where is the unlock process????????????????????

Unplug phone and power off completely. Leave USB cable plugged into computer.
Wait at least 30 seconds
Hold both Volume buttons, do NOT press Power. Plug USB cable into phone.
Phone should start with a prompt. Follow the instructions on the screen for device unlock mode.

if you mean the download mode where it says hold up to unlock then holding the 2 volume and plugging in is the thing u do in newer models this phone goes into download mode with vol down home and power but that option doesnt show up despite allowing it

Okay...Try holding both Volume buttons + Home, then plug the USB cable in. Again, the phone has to be shut off completely - I do not mean turning off the screen.
If this doesn't work, try holding both Volume buttons + Home, and while holding them press Power until the device turns on.
If that still doesn't work, I don't know what to tell you. If OEM Unlocking is enabled in Developer Options, then one of these key combos should bring up a warning screen that gives you the option to either go into download mode, unlock the device, or cancel.

At this point, the least you could do is at least try what I've suggested, regardless of whether you think it will work. You have nothing to lose. If you're unwilling to try suggestions, there's nothing more that I or anyone else can do for you.

its not my main phone i can try anything just make it work pls

Once again, here's what you should try. OEM Unlocking must be enabled in Developer Options. Do not factory reset. Let me know what results you get with each suggestion. You must start with the device powered completely off.
Hold both Volume buttons, plug in USB cable
Hold both Volume buttons + Home, plug in USB cable
Hold both Volume buttons, press Power
Hold both Volume buttons + Home, press Power
One of these should work.

none worked wth

Bricked my device?

Ok so here is what happened, I had 4.3 stock on, I wanted to install CM10, so I used Wugtoolkit to root, which I probably shouldn't have, anyway it went to reboot to fast mode and thats the last I seen of my N4,
Holding power does nothing, when I connect it to the computer the charging indicator comes up but the computer makes so connection sound. HELP
Can you get into the bootloader (volume down+power)?

When the charging indicator comes up, try holding down only the volume down button (without holding power button). With luck this will allow you to access fastboot mode, and recovery from there.

Hello, as the title says I have a full brick, I have tried to testpoint without results, when connecting to the pc install drivers and disconnected after 3 seconds, lgup does not recognize the model, the problem was when installing a custom rom that said the web that was for my cell phone lg k8, I lost the guarantee, what can I do ?.
I've tried everything already and on google I find nothing. Thank you.

Well when you install/flash wrong kernel things can get very ugly, or it can refuse to flash in your case it seems like a hard bricked. Did you tried guides for unbricking from this and K10’s forum? Can you access fastboot?

The mobile does not go in any way with any combination of possible keys, I do not know where the testpoint is, it does not go into the download mode and it does not even leave the logo of lg.
Sorry for my english I use the google translator.

So the LG logo appears?
We'll try this :
Press the power key until it gives you vibrate or any sign that phone is going to power on, the press and hold volume down it should give you all black screen with text on bottom saying fastboot mode. If it doesn't try all this but with volume up instead of volume down. I'm not even sure how to enter fastboot since I usually do it from ADB.

Is there no program to launch it fastboot directly?
Mine was bricked.
My solution was to enter in download mode, because other modes just rebooted the phone.
So follow this, and luck:
1-you need a PC turned on and the USB cable plugged already
2-quit the battery of the phone
3-now the phone is obviously off, you have to put the battery in WHILE holding volumen up button and then plug the USB still holding that button
It will enter download mode.
If step 3 doesn't work, try the same but with power button held too, with volume up.
Follow this then:

how do I boot up my phone with PC?

so this is with my 1.5 years old rusty moto g4 plus XT1643. It got powered off last night because it ran out of battery, usually I keep charging it up so it doesn't power off. The reason is it's power button is broken, doesn't do anything when clicked.
So, is there anyway I can boot it back up with PC or adb or with some other magic tricks you guys might know. Please help! ray:

No. You need the power button to power it on. Sadly but true.

Keep volume - key pressed and plug charger, try with both volume keys, one combination will boot it into bootloader and then you can use "fastboot reboot" command to boot it.

You need to plug and press vol- key at same time. If you press vol- key before and then plug, it will not work..
Keep pressing volume down button and then plug it in charger or pc usb. It will then start-up in bootloader.
It works with my Moto G4 PLus

I don't think so.No matter how greedy or paranoid a developer is they have to include a recovery mode in order to flash OTAs and do stuff when the phone is offline.

No recovery mode
Thats all good but still wishing to get the phone back up and running
hence why im asking on the forum what can i do to make it possible

I got the clue, you have to do it twice !
Take a look at this tutorial Nokia 6 fix no command
First, you have to plug in a usb cable (of a charger) to the phone and quickly press Vol + and power button to get into the Download mode. Then again press Vol + and power button AND (most important all) press the HOME button, then you will get the Recovery menu !
Hi Blerg,
No home button on the phone.

Can't exit EDL mode !! OP6T

After unlocking my bootloader i just rebooted it to flash twrp. But it did'nt rebooted. While connecting to PC, it show
Qualcomm HS- USB QDLoader - 9008 (COM 8)
i can't reboot or exit edl
please help?
i also tried msm download.
but after 16s it showing "Sahara Communication error"
I had the same thing happen to me with the msm download tool connection. Try to hold down the power button and volume down or up for a good 30 seconds. One of those combinations worked for me to make the device boot. Just a suggestion. Hope it helps.
someone made a USB QDLoader - 9008 tool for PC to flash phone stuck in this mode it's on xda hope that helps it did for lg g5 I flashed a test kernel on

Power plus volume up till the phone shuts off then start over. Msm tool does this sometimes to me as well just restart it and the phone.
thanks everyone for their help. I tried the button combination too but it was'nt working.
Something silly worked. I left the phone for hours. The entire battery died. After connecting it just booted again.. its funny.
Now i think i should delete this thread.

I have also faced the same problem. I have tried all combination of keys to exit Edl mode without success.
The easiest way is disconnect the USB cable from PC/Laptop, connect the battery in case disconnected and connect to a power cable. Your mobile will start.

I tried running adb commands but it says device unauthorized so I tried to use MSM tool but same error, but have to mention that before doing this the phone was taken for a physical LCD replacement, don't know if something was messed up during the replacement
Thank you @Fodderp, this helped me with my OP Nord.

How long are you holding before giving up? You gotta hold that for a long time
Also make sure the phone is unplugged from the USB while holding
If there is sill no response it could be a dead battery. Plug it into the wall and let it charge for a while. Then unplug and press power, Vol +, and Vol - and hold it long. When you think it's been too long, keep holding.
It should take you to fastboot
