Samsung Galaxy A7(2018) stuck at Android Recovery after booting!!

[Devils Advokat]

I followed all the steps as advised, including choosing the Home CSC file over the CSC file. But unfortunately nothing happened. for a split second, a screen appears saying "erasing" but after that the phone reboots and after 4-5 mins, returns to the Android Recovery Mode.

 

[Devils Advokat]

simply says Erasing for a split second

Then probably going need to try without Home CSC so can factory reset and see if it can reset the phone

but that will be a clean install isn't it and no hope of retaining the data?

The Odin log

Is the phone in download mode? And connection shows in the top left corner of Odin COM and highlighted?

 

[Devils Advokat]

yes exactly

 

[mustang7757]

Try different cable and ports

 

[Devils Advokat]

is it advisable to flash it with an older version of the firmware as recently I had installed the latest firmware which was out on September 2022. so may be the recent firmware may have something to do with the issue?

 

[mustang7757]

Frija firmware tool would be the latest firmware for your device

 

[mustang7757]

U probably wont be able to downgrade from higher firmware

 

[Devils Advokat]

ok ill try a different cable and see if it works

 

[mustang7757]

Ok

 

[Devils Advokat]

no improvement. same thing after trying a different cable and port.
