    WiFi file transfer apps suddenly don't work anymore on my Samsung Galaxy A20s

    I've just found the solution! :) It seems I ticked an option in my router settings a few days ago which messes with this file transfer function (and then kinda forgot about it). The setting is called "All the wireless client device is completely isolated". This should be switched off, and I...

    WiFi file transfer apps suddenly don't work anymore on my Samsung Galaxy A20s

    Yes, I tried turning off VPN both on the phone and on my laptop, but the problem persists. Earlier, while the app (and all similar apps) worked normally, the VPN on the laptop didn't affect its functioning, but I had to turn off VPN on the phone. It's all so strange because, as far as I know...

    WiFi file transfer apps suddenly don't work anymore on my Samsung Galaxy A20s

    I have had my Samsung Galaxy A20s phone for several months. One of the first apps that I usually install is "WiFi File Transfer Pro", which is an older app, but it still works well for transferring files over WiFi. When the app is started, I can just type something like...

    Unable to enter the recovery mode to do factory reset, Stuck in Odin Mode

    It seems I managed to find its CSC code on the basis of its IMEI number on this website: imei.info. Here's the main page about my phone: https://www.imei.info/?imei=359360063692920 And this is when I press "Check SN / Warranty / Carrier"...

    Unable to enter the recovery mode to do factory reset, Stuck in Odin Mode

    Do you know which CSC codes for UK are "general", i.e. not connected with any particular mobile company there in the UK? I'm thinking the first 3 from this list, maybe also the last one (XEU), but it's just a guess... United Kingdom (VIR) United Kingdom (BTU) United Kingdom (EE) (EVR) United...

    Unable to enter the recovery mode to do factory reset, Stuck in Odin Mode

    These are the possible CSC codes for my country (Serbia): Serbia (Telekom) (TSR) Serbia (Telenor) (MSR) Serbia (VIP) (TOP) When I put any of them for CSC code in Samfirm or Frija, they can't find anything. Perhaps it was intended for some other country or region, but ended up being sold in...

    Unable to enter the recovery mode to do factory reset, Stuck in Odin Mode

    By the way, I bought this phone in a store that specializes for mobile phones, and it wasn't tied to any particular mobile service (I bought a sim card later at a newstand).

    Unable to enter the recovery mode to do factory reset, Stuck in Odin Mode

    No, that's the problem. I get the same text in both cases, when I press Power on + Home + Volume Up AND when I press Power on + Home + Volume Down (then volume Up to continue). In both cases it doesn't give me the option to choose Factory reset. Can this phone be flashed at all?

    Unable to enter the recovery mode to do factory reset, Stuck in Odin Mode

    This is the next screen which I get when I press Volume Up (Continue). It looks just like the screen I'm getting when I press Home + power on + Volume Up in the first place, but it has also the android robot below saying "downloading... do not turn off the target". I don't see the firmware...

    Unable to enter the recovery mode to do factory reset, Stuck in Odin Mode

    I am able to get into the download mode when I press Volume down + Home + Power On, and this is the screen that I see in that case: But I don't see any info about the firmware version on that screen?

    Unable to enter the recovery mode to do factory reset, Stuck in Odin Mode

    Hi mustang7757, sorry about resurrecting this old thread, I couldn't find the necessary time to deal with this problem when this thread was started, but now I would like to try to see what can be done about it. As for Samfirm or Frija, both of them require the CSC code, but the problem is that...

    Unable to enter the recovery mode to do factory reset, Stuck in Odin Mode

    Just one more question. In the instructions for Odin, it says that some changes to the settings need to be made before flashing the phone in order to avoid bricking it. On this page: https://odinflashtool.com/tutorial/use-odin-flash-tool/ Now, obviously, since I can't get past the Enter the...

    Unable to enter the recovery mode to do factory reset, Stuck in Odin Mode

    I mean it just loads the Android OS as usual, without giving me any special menu to choose from. It's as if I just pressed the Power On button alone and switched on the phone in the most regular way. But since the current Android has a set up password (which I forgot), I can't use it. I can't...

    Unable to enter the recovery mode to do factory reset, Stuck in Odin Mode

    Just tried it: Turned the phone off. Then held Volume UP + Power button. This doesn't bring up any menu, just boots normally and leads into the Android itself. I am thinking.. perhaps years ago I tried to flash this phone using Odin and it somehow "remembered" that and now expects to continue...

    Unable to enter the recovery mode to do factory reset, Stuck in Odin Mode

    When I select Restart, then hold Volume Up + Power button, it just boots normally and asks for the password (which I forgot). That combo doesn't bring up any specific menu.
