Question Samsung A50 freeze then stuck on the logo screen

[CelestialAmber]

My A50 froze and i dont know how i got to turn it off. I couldnt turn it on again so I looked online and tried the volum down + power. It turned on but it got stuck on the screen wwith just the logo and then nothing.
I tried the volume up + power to get to the recovery mode but its not working.
I plugged it to my cumputer, the charging logo appears, then i unplug it and the charging logo is still here.
I would really appreciate some help ! Thank you

Welcome to Android Central! How long did you press and hold Power and Vol Up? Also, did you make sure that you were pressing them at exactly the same time?

When you say that Vol Up and Power are not working, do you mean that nothing shows up on the screen at all?

Welcome to AC!
You probably going to need to flash the stock firmware with Odin

I try to press them at the same time. I hold for up to 30 seconds I'd say.
Yes I mean that nothing is showing up on the screen.

Looks like you may have to try reflashing the ROM -- mustang7757 can help you with that.

Is there a tuto online that you recommand?
On the website, there are multiple updates of Odin, is there one that is better?
They also recommand "one click root", is using Odin difficult?
thank you =)

I downloaded Frija successfully, I ran it, but as I feared, my phone isn't showing up on my computer when it is plugged in.
So frija can't read my updates info. Any thoughts?

I tried to find the model and CSC and IMEI on my original box.
The model is SM 6 A505FN/DS and IMEI is the number from the screenshot.
I bought the phone in Ireland but they have 2 CSC. I ran it with each and there is a difference in the version so im not sure if it helps

Ok I'm going look over everything little bit later I'm currently at work

I deleted your photos , you don't want someone getting the IMEI numbers of your device.

Make sure your have a known good Data transfer cable this is critical, also download Odin latest from XDA website

 

[mustang7757]

If it's stuck at the Samsung Logo it might not recognize your device which u need to go in download mode and flash with Odin but get your firmware from SamMobile or Samfirm that latest version

I can't access the download mode on my phone. I can't access any hidden mode on my phone. No matter how long how press.
I am not sure that my cable is a good data transfer cable. I will try with other cables but I have little hope it will change something.
Thank you for deleting the photos, I didn't know it was sensitive information.

Step 1: Force Restart​

1. Press and hold Power + Volume Down for about 10–15 seconds.
2. Wait until the phone vibrates and the Samsung logo appears.
3. If it still gets stuck, move to step 2.

Step 2: Try Recovery Mode Correctly​

Samsung A50 requires a specific button combination to enter recovery mode:

1. Turn off the phone (if possible) or let the battery drain completely, then charge for at least 30 min.
2. Press and hold Volume Up + Power + Bixby (for A50, Bixby may not exist, just Volume Up + Power works).
3. Release buttons when Samsung logo + Recovery menu appears.
4. Use Volume buttons to navigate, Power to select.

From Recovery Mode, you can:

• Wipe cache partition → Safe, won’t delete personal data.
• Factory reset → Deletes all data, use as last resort.

---

Step 3: Use Smart Switch / Odin (Advanced)​

If Recovery Mode doesn’t work:

1. Download Samsung Smart Switch on your PC and try Emergency Software Recovery.
2. Or, use Odin tool to flash official firmware (requires PC and USB cable).

Step 4: Avoid Charging Issues​

• If the charging logo stays on after unplugging, try:
  
  • Different USB cable and charger.
