[Android Central Question]

i was updating my s10plus software when a screen came saying downloading do not turn off target odin mode avb fail . i tried to flash it but odin was stuck at vendor.img for several hours. Then i quit odin and then a screen came saying that to recover from smart switch. Then i used a tool to fix the soft brick and now i am in the same downloading screen but this time saying error validating footer. i tried to flash again but am still stuck at vendor.img. i tried a different csc version and that stucks at system.img
PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP!!!!!!

Hi, where did you get the files from and are they correct to your device and region? Is yours international version or US ? Is this first time using odin?

[Ali Malik1]

Thank you so much

[mustang7757]

No problem, it's decrypt the firmware right now

[mustang7757]

It download without a issue, so double check your connection

[Ali Malik1]

Oh yes i tried it and the download was complete now i have to use odin and flash the firmware?

[mustang7757]

Extract the firmware after it downloads and put the files in all 4 corresponding slots and leave last slot in odin empty , use home csc in csc slot to avoid factory reset

[Ali Malik1]

I tried it but it is again stuck at vendor.img please help

[mustang7757]

I tried it but it is again stuck at vendor.img please help

Can I see screenshot of odin where it's at now?
It probably can take a few minutes to go past that

[Ali Malik1]

Still stuck at vendor.img

[mustang7757]

Wait until it responds don't disconnect the phone from computer, does it show a white line across the phone also?

[Ali Malik1]

It has been 15 minutes yes it shows a white line which is also stuck

[Ali Malik1]

In the top right it also written custom binary blocked by oem lock

[mustang7757]

Give it 10 more minutes ,that's normal on the phone as it's transferring from odin .
If after 10 minutes still happening , download odin version from XDA site and retry again but when you plug into odin go to option and choose reboot bootloader so can erase that line on the phone .
