Did not worked...

I believe it´s not a cable drivers issue because everything goes ok with a20e.

I start to accept there is nothing to do for this phone!

I get a error: Re-Partition operation failed.

Wrong rom? I used: https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-A505FN/MEO/A505FNXXU9CWB4

I found another rom. Flashed ok but after reboot stays on Samsung logo... The same problem.

Could be a hardware problem?

CSC in Odin which file you used Home CSC or regular?

I use CSC that came with rom... What it's the other option?

 

[fmoreira1978]

At this point i flash 5 different roms and the outcome was always the same:
After flash ended and reboot the phone stays on samsung log until i disconnect from Pc. After the disconnection it turns off and the on/off button do not work and the only way of have some life signal from device it´s connect to pc and press volume buttons (download mode access) or connect it to charger (samsung log forever).

Exactly same behaviour from beginning...

Usually the firmware comes with 2 CSC
Home CSC which doesn't factory reset if used saves user Data.

Just CSC which factory reset which I would use in your situation

If that's the case then something with hardware needs repairs and if it's worth it send in to Samsung

Thanks for the time and help. It's probably a hardware problem on an old mobile phone and where no investments are worth.

It was worth a try and gave me a chance to know some basic samsung tools and functions. I'll use them now to try a custom rom on a galaxy a20e in good condition and that won me in a first round thanks to the "validating footer error"... but I'll try again

Thanks again!!
