It's not stuck on lock screen, the screen doesn't wake up from sleep at all except for AOD

So you tried Factory reset and reflashed the firmware again correct?

[Immy74]

Yes

[mustang7757]

Yes

Take it in for repair if those 2 things didn't fix it

I took it to a UbreakIfix place as per Samsung request last year, and after 2 days of them having it, they put "Unknown" or the ticket back to Samsung Repair. For the BL unlock, is it a normal apk? or do I need to run via sdcard in recovery mode? I haven't had to tweak a phone since the days of Huawei Ascend M860.... that was my first phone, and it needed serious tweaks back then. Can I see recovery mode via hdmi from usb-c?

I'm not sure what you mean by BL APK ?
Flashing through Odin pretty straight forward
You download your firmware from frija to your computer then open up Odin the first 4 slots in Odin you extract the firmware you download take the 4 firmware files and put in corresponding slots in Odin and done

am very aware how odin works, however if you read all the other messages that lead up to this, you would had seen that this firmware is (BL) Bootloader locked. It will show that firmware is success, however it is not. You stated before in this forum that you had a way to get around the BL. When I stated BL apk, I'm simply stating using twrp or clockworks.

You don't need bootloader unlock just flashing stock firmware , you would need that for custom ROM

[mustang7757]

Go to download mode and take a screenshot of it
