    It gave me an option to delete app config data and attempt to start in safe mode, I'm going to try that and if not look for an android data recovery place near me

    Yep, it passed. I'm going to try reflashing it one more time and see if anything changes

    It worked, kind of. Odin did its job, and reported success, but it errored out again. I managed to take a photo with a friend's phone of the recovery log and throw it into a image to text app, and got this: RECOVERY_DBG: Exception count = 800 RECOVERY_DBG: *** FATAL EXCEPTION IN SYSTEM PROCESS...

    Need help reinstalling OS, I think

    I've gotten the last firmware update for my phone downloaded, I installed Smart Switch which should have installed the drivers as well, and the cable is known to be good for data transfer. It seems like the main reason it didn't show up in Odin initially is because it wasn't in download mode and...

    Yeah, I'd do the same but unfortunately I've got 500mb left of google storage space, and had to quit syncing last year to keep my google account receiving emails.

    Unfortunately with the S9 I've never been able to access its files from pc. Usually it would show up and just not be accessible, but so far I haven't even been able to get the computer to recognize it.

    Samsung S9+ (SM-G965U), Mint Mobile (Verizon towers) I was attempting to call someone, but I ran into the not uncommon issue of I can hear them but they can't hear me, so I restarted my phone, and it has been bootlooping since. It will go to the carrier screen, freeze for a few minutes, then go...
