Thanks. I called Samsung, and my phone was still under warranty. They told me to take it to a repair shop, and the motherboard needed to be replaced. The repair was free, and I've got my phone back working again. :)

There is someone on the XDA and reddit forums that mentioned he could fix my phone. He thinks that some Hex edits to the kernel will fix the phone. Any ideas on this?

I called Samsung, and the told me I still have warranty, and to bring it into a place called ubreakifix. I think they have chains across north america. The guy mentioned that he thinks its the motherboard as well, but said it will take 1-2 days to diagnosis before they can say for certain. If...

Rukbat, thanks for letting me know. Is there anyone else that can confirm that the motherboard is broken? This kind of makes sense because my nieces have used phones and tablets thousands of times, and they haven't managed to break any of them. Now I'm just going to find out if this is a...

Ok thanks. I read that it has to be equal or later as well. I'm doing some research on the rooting. I'll post back as things progress. Thanks again.

I'm thinking rooting the phone might resolve the issue. I'm not exactly sure what file to use to do this. I downloaded the file named, "twrp-3.5.0_9-0-beyond1qlte.img.tar", which is for the Samsung S10 Snapdragon, which is the version I have. Is this the correction file I can use to root it...

It is possible that my bootloader is blocked, so I cannot perform a flash, but only a root? I just read something about that on a thread from XDA. A Samsung Galaxy S III user, from 2013, mentioned it with his Verizon phone. He mentions he found a ROM that was semi-stock, but also included a...

I still haven't had any luck. I tried on a third computer, and I'm getting the same error. I bought a new USB-C cable, and I'm getting the same error. I downloaded the firmware that came with my phone, which is this one, G973WVLU2ASIO, from October 2nd 2019. This is the PDA number written on...

Tried 3.14.4, and still no dice. Tried two different cables. So far, I've always been able to get into download mode. Would it be true to say, that as long as I am able to get into download mode, the phone is not completely bricked?

Yup, I have been doing that. I get into download mode by pressing Bixby, Power and Volume down, then I press Volume Up. Before starting each attempt with Odin, I get into download mode, and make sure the COM is detected, and the log says Added!! Hmm, Ok, thanks for the advice on the PIT. I...

Thanks for the quick reply. I downloaded the firmware using Frija, but I am getting the same error. I tried on my laptop with USB 3.0, and my PC with USB 2.0. Is it possible that including a partition file might help? If so, where could I get the PIT file for my phone?

Hi All, My niece was using my phone, and when I got it back, it started to just stay in on the Samsung logo screen. I let the battery die, and now it is stuck on the screen that says "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart...
