I have a TMobile Samsung S10, sim was removed when it had issue two weeks ago. It is not accessible after I type in the phone password, it then shows "phone starting", then black screen for few mins, then auto reboot; just repeat until I do not type in PW. I could use Odin3 (v3.13) to complete...

No sim card or SD card in this phone. It was moved when this phone had problem 10 days ago. Suppose the staring screen should show difference after firmware flashed. But nothing changed.

So far I tried firmwares of TMB, VZW, SPR, USC. None of them had impact on my phone. I really doubt that Odin flashed my phone.

One more try. I downloaded firmware of USC (I do not know that carrier, just gave a try), same BL version (G973USQU7IVH3) as TMobile. Flashing had failures about serial COM port, but completed. Then rebooted, still saw TMobile login screen. Nothing changed, same issue! Odin cannot change...

I downloaded a latest version of Spint (SPR) by Frija, same BL version (G973USQU7IVH3) as TMobile, almost same time 202209 as TMobile 202210. Odin could finish flashing with the Spint firmware, sounds lucky. A successful flashing screenshot is attached below. When the phone rebooted after flash...

I used Frija just now. Seems the latest Verizon firmware is 2021/11. But it is still older than TMobile firmware of my phone. Can I flash with that 202111 Verizon firmware? Update: I tried the latest Verizon firmware 202111 from Frija. Odin failed to flash with it. Maybe still because the...

My phone is currently on the latest TMobile firmware. I downloaded the TMobile firmware from here https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s10/firmware/SM-G973U/TMB/ . And downloaded Verizon firmware from here https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s10/firmware/SM-G973U/VZW/ . The latest...

My phone is using TMobile, so I refreshed it with latest tmobile firmware, and could complete before. But nothing changed on the issue. I just tried the latest Verizon firmware. The refresh processing failed, could not complete. The phone does not allow the different carrier firmware?

Is that possible to wait for next version firmware that will may fix the issue? May need tp wait several weeks?

I tried HOME_CSC instead of CSC to avoid user data lost. I want to save photos and contact on the phone, and avoid factory reset. After each reboot, the phone stops and is waiting for my password input. If I do not do anything, it still can do morning alarm. So seems, the phone is ok before...

Seems the old version firmware does not work.

Thanks mustang7757! I just registered. I refreshed the firmware (4 files, BL, AP, CP, HOME_CSC ) with the same firmware version on my phone by Odin. But still same issue, no change. Should I try an old firmware version? Any other ideas?

My Samsung S10 cannot get to the home screen with app icons. It can ask me for the phone password, then I type in PW, and then shows "phone is starting", then freezes with black screen for few mins, then auto rebooting. Because I want to save the photos and contacts from that phone, so I do not...
