error validating footer(6)

[Android Central Question]

i was updating my s10plus software when a screen came saying downloading do not turn off target odin mode avb fail . i tried to flash it but odin was stuck at vendor.img for several hours. Then i quit odin and then a screen came saying that to recover from smart switch. Then i used a tool to fix the soft brick and now i am in the same downloading screen but this time saying error validating footer. i tried to flash again but am still stuck at vendor.img. i tried a different csc version and that stucks at system.img
PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP!!!!!!

Wait until it responds don't disconnect the phone from computer, does it show a white line across the phone also?

 

[Ali Malik1]

It has been 15 minutes yes it shows a white line which is also stuck

In the top right it also written custom binary blocked by oem lock

Give it 10 more minutes ,that's normal on the phone as it's transferring from odin .
If after 10 minutes still happening , download odin version from XDA site and retry again but when you plug into odin go to option and choose reboot bootloader so can erase that line on the phone .

No problem, oem lock is meant to do other things this is stock Samsung firmware files

Use3.14.1 odin or newer from XDA

 

[Ali Malik1]

It is still stuck now what should i do to cancel the flashing
Quit odin?

 

[Ali Malik1]

Is there something wrong with the ap file because the vendor.img file is in it?
