Galaxy S10 boot issues

[OllieFallon10]

Hi all,

I recently updated a custom rom that had ota. Upon doing the update, the phone now won't boot at all. I can boot into download mode or recovery however. I've tried flashing the stock firmware and it gets a little bit further. It actually reboots and shows the Samsung logo and shows the erasing android logo and it would usually reboot to continue on a normal S10 but mine just tries to reboot and can't so stays on a black screen. Holding down the power button does nothing but doing the recovery mode or download mode combinations work where download mode tells me I'm on the Samsung Official binary. I can also install twrp if that's helpful in trying to figure it out. Anyone's help would be appreciated.

Thanks all,
OllieFallon2

Try reflashing with repartition checked. You'll need a PIT file though, which you can get from removing the .md5 file extension so that it becomes a .tar, then unpacking it.
Afterwards, load it in the PIT tab, make sure everything else is loaded and repartition is checked on options, and flash.

I tried that, it didn't work, it does the same thing.

Not sure from here, stock usually resolves issues. Try reflashing TWRP and the custom rom and see if it fixes anything.

Sometimes after it boots up and shows the Samsung logo then erasing it might take 20 minutes, another question did you use home CSC when u flashed the stock firmware? If you did try regular CSC file

Ok, well flashing LineageOS fixed it. Thanks everyone a lot, now I can use this as my root phone again.

Just be careful flashing like this or often because it will lead to trouble where u going break something and not recover at all.
