I tried to flash a rom using Odin but it failed. The phone now stuck at LOGO screen.
I entered download mode and noticed that the REACTIVATION LOCK is ON. I think it prevents Odin from flashing anything to the phone.
I tried to enter recovery mode, factory reset but still same. In recovery mode, there is a line saying "failed to mount /system".
I don't know what to do now. Please help.

Even if you got that message while in Download mode did you try and flash a stock firmware?

Yes I tried to flash back to stock firmware but failed. I searched for solutions and it seems its because the reactivation lock is blocking odin from flashing anything to the phone.
Hello, did you try Smart Switch? I had a similar problem after rooting then stupidly activated Knox, but Reactivation Lock was OFF as once you root it seems like you can't enable it, my answer was Smart Switch which initialized everything

Hi. Yes I tried smart switch, it says it can not reognise the device. After I failed to flash the ron for tge first time I was able to boot the phone, knox ask me to restart the phone so I did restart it. I think it was when reactivation lock was triggered. after that the phone is not able to be booted. No idea how to disable the lock.

Do you have the latest odin? Read somewhere someone with the same issue and the problem was odin. He installed the newest one and everything was fine.
Good luck
I am in same situation. Yesterday I was able to reinstall original firmware. Trick is to get Odin to recognize com port. By connecting to USB first and then entering download mode it seems to work.

Currently bought a sch-i905 4g lte verizon galaxy tablet.
Boots normally, and functions.
Last night i was writing a bootloader through odin, and accidently had auto reboot checked. I was unable to write the modem/kernel that goes with it and now have a galaxy tablet that boots into the OS just fine.
The problem now is though that i can not get my tablet/computer to communicate in download mode it says "waiting for cable"
as well as my recovery is a black screen of doom.
Through rom manager when boot the tablet up i can see that clock work is installed just not boot properly..
I need some help here guys since this is outside my knowledge of fixing.
i can boot into the android OS, but when i charge it while its on it wont actually charge, the X is over the battery, but if i leave it off i can charge it just fine.

unfortunately when i use download mode, it only shows "waiting for cable" no matter what pc, what driver, and what cable i use.
If i boot into normal android, the drivers load fine, i can transfer files etc . just cant recognize it in download mode.
so without recognition from download mode,
a blanked/blacked out recovery mode
im not sure how to fix it.

its under my impression that hard reset will not fix download mode or recovery mode.
well, i did a factory reset, and now my tablet just goes to the samsung tablet 10.1 and still boots up with an ALL BLACK screen.
once its completely turned on, I can hit the power button to dim it, then i hit the power button and all is well im back to android os.
now you've fixed my battery charging issue while my tablet is on, so i am forever grateful.

Dear all.
First of all, thanks for your attention, I really appreciate.
I have a GNote 10.1 Wi-Fi version (N8013) with stock Android 4.1.
My S-Pen was getting me crazy, because I was not able to use it correctly on the edges of the device. I tried an app that supposed to reset the alignment, but I did not work, so I googled and found that the only way to fix it was "factory reseting" the tablet.
So, I installed the TeamWin recovery and backed up my data. After that I hit the button "reboot". But before rebooting, the recovery screen "told me" that I was not rooted and "asked" if I would like to install SuperSU to get root access. I checked YES and rebooted.
After that I got stucked at the "Samsung Galaxy Note" screen (see attached file).
I've tried to switch off the note, but the screen goes off for one second and it lights up again at the same screen.
If I plug the USB cable and try to switch it off, the note goes to the battery charging screen. If I remove the USB and push the power button again, the tablet gets back to the "Samsung Galaxy Note" screen.
Odin seems to "connect" with the tablet.
I can enter both the download mode and the recovery mode (not the teamwin recovery).
Attached pictures of what I get.
Any sugestions?
Thanks!!!
Everything is ok now
Dear all,
Hope I can help you if you have a problem similar to mine.
I remembered that a PC with no OS stops on some screen, but everything else works, just as what was happening with my note.
I tought that I might have wiped more things than I should, so, the only thing I had to do was to restore the backup that I had.
To do this I should reinstall the TWRP and the only way was via Odin.
Solved the problem this way:
1. Downloaded the Odin (http://techbeasts.com/2013/08/08/download-odin-pc-latest-version-v-3-07/)
2. Downloaded the TWRP file (http://techerrata.com/get/twrp2/p4noterf/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.1.0-p4notewifi.tar)
3. Connected the Galaxy Note to my PC using the USB cable
4. Entered the "download mode"
5. Loaded the file from step 2 into the tablet using Odin
6. Rebooted the tablet
7. Entered the recovery mode (TWRP was working)
8. Restored the backup that I had
9. Rebooted again
Did the dance of victory!!!
I am so glad to have my device back.
Regards

Thank you in advance
I have an SM-P600
My Note 10.1 2014 Edition is stuck on the tablet title screen, not sure if its in reboot mode it returns to this screen if I try to shut it off... basically Its frozen, and when I try to shut it off it goes away a few seconds and comes back. This happened after I rooted with KingRoot, and tried to Flash a ROM, Im a complete Noob and should have done my homework... but I didnt. I see everyone suggesting odin and going into download mode... I can get to download mode but I am using a macbook pro, and there are very little options to use odin, I tried Jodin3... and Heimdall... no luck...
PLEASE HELP !
HELP stuck on Samsung screen
I didn't any root or install a different firmware to mine.
But after charging it I removed the cable and it rebooted and got stuck on the Samsung screen. I can only access to Download mode. I didn't have any Recovery mode installed, and now I can't install one successfully via Odin...
I tried to install a new firmware... a recovery mode... nothing is working...
Please I need HELP...
@ agelcer: Was your tablet rooted?
Hello. I havea similar problem with my note 2 phone. It will not get past the
samsung screen. My cpu knowledge is very limited. Are you open to accepting payment for attempting to fix my cell phone? All I want is the pictures off of it if that is all you can do to it. Pleass email me at [email protected] if you or anyone you know can help. Thanks....Jay
Same thing is happening to mine. I tried Odin but after the download the srceen goes black and then comes back to the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 screen.
Hello folks.
Same problem here with a n8000.
It had the stock unrooted rom probably JellyBean.
Can only access Download Mode, nothing else.
I get connection to Odin, tried to flash original firmware, 4 file firmware, re-partition with pit file, flash a custom recovery, all seem to pass through but nothing changes, still stuck on 'Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1' screen, never moves on to boot animation and still can't access Recovery Mode.
However, something else I triy with Odin and it FAILS is ticking 'Nand Erase All'. It won't let me erase nand.
Could this mean some kind of memory corruption?
Does it have anything to do with EMMC?
If it does, is there a possible way to fix without replacing the hardware?
What else can I try before giving up?
It would be nice if other users who report this problem attempt to Nand Erase All and see if it also FAILS..
Thanks alot and sorry for the long post.
Edit: after posting I found this which is PROBABLY THE SOLUTION for me.
And here is another topic on this issue.

I assumed from my searches the solution would be JTAG or replace the EMMC.

I'm not very clear about bootloader upgrading, but I guess it was included in the 4 file firmware I tried flashing and it said 'success' but nothing changed..
I think it ain't just a softbrick since I can't erase nand..

This happened to ours as well just today. Unplugged it rebooted it and it's stuck. Can only access the Odin mode.

Hello everyone, I am new here, and I want to ask omething, after I turned off my Samung J7 Prime (Trying to restart it), it diddnt restart and says "Custom Binary Blocked by FRP Lock", I have stock rom odin in diffrent versions, i thried them but they fail, I saw in one thread that you need to Reformat your device, but when I am trying, to go to recovery mode, It says Recovery is Not Seandroid Enforcing, I cant use Recovery mode, I tried download mode but its blocked by FRP Lock so I cant use or flash orreformat my device, I hope I dont get ****ed! Please help really need all your help! Thank you, Hope my phone gets fixed!
" It all started when I turned off oem unlock and rebooted m phone"
you have to flash a stock firmware for your device to fix this mess up, to that you have to download the firmware according to your device's exact model and flash it under download mode.
you said you cant access download mode but i dont think if there is a possibility of lock down of Download mode by frp. First Remove the Battery and place it back to make sure it is completely switched off then Try again to enter Download mode.
press: Volume down+home+power buttons simultaneously for 5 or more seconds until the blue download screen appears.
then connect it to odin to flash the stock rom you downloaded.
hope this will fix your issue.
hit thanks if helped..

Strange, if you have a stock boot image then why its still blocking it. is it a backup or you downloaded the image from internet. if downloaded make sure that it matches exactly with your device's model.

You shouldn't of tried to modify the phone in the first place and stood with stock.... First off you don't put auto reboot after flashing twrp you have that option off so you can reset the phone and hold the recovery sequence so it boot in recovery and twrp patches to your recovery partion

No but there is always one on phones that don't have removal able battery for situations when the phone freezes out.... Google your phones emergency reset button it's usually a little hole in your phone where you put a pin in to trigger a automatic reset

Hi there.
So the phone's screen is frozen at the startup Samsung M31S powered by android screen.
The phone does boot up and I can use it the touch works but the screen is still showing the first logo.
I have enabled usb debugging using talkback and I can use an app called Vysor on my pc to see the screen
The phone works just fine but the screen is frozen and when the phone goes to sleep or I press the lock/power button
the screen goes black but when I press it again its still black. I have to force restart and it then shows the first logo screen.
Download mode and Recovery work just fine and the screen does show them correctly
but whenever I try to boot it to system its frozen on the first logo. I also installed twrp recovery it works.
Because I unlocked the bootloader instead of frozen Samsung M31S powered by android screen the screen is frozen at
the "your device has unlocked bootloader press power to continue.) The phone boots up fine but the screen is frozen
and goes black when I press lock/power button or leave it to sleep just like normal but it doesn't come back when I press the button again.
I flashed stock rom using ODIN. It has the same issue. Its on android 11 U3 binary. I can't use combination factory binary(I'm getting please get approval to use factory binary(PIT).
I can't tell what the problem is. Screen works and touch but gets frozen before it boots to system, but does work fine in recovery stock or custom(twrp) and download mode.
The main board works too it boots I can use it just fine using my pc to see the screen.
Let me know if you can explain what's going on and what can be done.
EDIT: In the recovery logs I noticed this error as well unable to set property ro.boot time.init.mount.cache so that might be a clue.
Thanks!
Android device can get booted into

My guess is your phone's Android OS completely got corrupted for whatever reason, hence device won't boot into Normal mode

The thing is it does boot up I can use it just fine with the pc. Its just the frozen screen. I think its hardware problem. Board or screen or both who knows. All I know is that it worked fine then one day it turned off. It didn't want to turn on. Then using Odin the phone was flashed with stock rom and it behaves like this. Anyway to confirm the faulty part? The warranty cannot be claimed because the front glass has a tiny crack but it worked for 6 months like that...

The phone does boot up and I can use it the touch works but the screen is still showing the first logo.
I have enabled usb debugging using talkback and I can use an app called Vysor on my pc to see the screen
The phone works just fine but the screen is frozen and when the phone goes to sleep or I press the lock/power button
the screen goes black but when I press it again its still black. I have to force restart and it then shows the first logo screen.
Download mode and Recovery work just fine and the screen does show them correctly
but whenever I try to boot it to system its frozen on the first logo. I also installed twrp recovery it works.
Because I unlocked the bootloader instead of frozen Samsung M31S powered by android screen the screen is frozen at
the "your device has unlocked bootloader press power to continue.) The phone boots up fine but the screen is frozen
and goes black when I press lock/power button or leave it to sleep just like normal but it doesn't come back when I press the button again.
I flashed stock rom using ODIN. It has the same issue. Its on android 11 U3 binary. I can't use combination factory binary(I'm getting please get approval to use factory binary(PIT).
I can't tell what the problem is. Screen works and touch but gets frozen before it boots to system, but does work fine in recovery stock or custom(twrp) and download mode.
The main board works too it boots I can use it just fine using my pc to see the screen.
Let me know if you can explain what's going on and what can be done.
EDIT: In the recovery logs I noticed this error as well unable to set property ro.boot time.init.mount.cache so that might be a clue.
Thanks!

Perform a clean flash, not just selecting BL AP CP CSC. You want to erase older NAND and re partiton it.
Code:
# Disclaimer
#
# I'm not responsible for further damage done to your device
#
# You have been warned
1. In odin selcet fimware tar.md5 file by BL AP CP CSC
2. Go in to PIT tab and extract CSC.tar.md5 fimware file and select .pit file in odin
3. Go in to opitions and make sure that NAND ERASE and re-partition are both on.
You can try to perform a SBL upgrade too.
I don't think it is a hardware releated thing because you said booting in to download, twrp works just fine.
And something else, in the picture you attched where the phone is in download mode. It shows OEM LOCK: ON L. Download mode reports that the bootloader is locked but you get stuck in the logo partition that give you a warning for PBL beeing unlocked?
And you triggered somehow triggerd PERENORMAL MODE?

I followed your steps. The flash went well but the phone's screen is still stuck at the your device's bootloader is unlocked(because I did unlock it, before it was stuck on first M31S powered by android) How do you perform SBL upgrade I don't see that option in ODIN 3.14

No that was before the FRP lock was on. I was able to unlock it using talkback. Now it says checking and OEM: OFF(U) (because I did a full stock flash it says prenormal bc it performed a factory reset if I finish the setup(enable usb debuging etc) and boot back in download mode it would say checking ofc)

You might need to download a older version of odin, or use heimdall.

Could this be a battery issue? Download mode and recovery don't use too much current maybe the battery is the problem. I will try accubattery and see the stats. (4.2v 89% charged seems normal) Let me know what else to try. I wlll upload a video for you too see exactly how it works.

Maybe try T-FLASH mode. And try asking here https://android.stackexchange.com/ there is probably a bigger chance someone will help you there.

Are you trying to downgrade SW REV or upgrade. If you are upgradeing you need to set the PIT file in PIT tab. Downgradeing is a differnt thing.

No I just want to flash the factory binary firmware to see if it will behave differently. Because the phone's bootloader is on U3 I can only use U3 factory binary so they are both the same. It won't flash because I need token from samsung servers to be able to flash factory binary( they added this security after the S10 launch)

Then what have you flashed before.
I've uploaded a YouTube video. I replaced logo.jpg from param.bin with my yellow image to test the colors and as you can see it shows some green, same green as in twrp so ye its the display most likely.
EDIT: After flashing the PrishKernel the screen is stuck but after sleep I can wake up the screen and at the bottom where the navigation buttons are there is some noise type of image the rest of the screen is black. And its responsive if I press power button the bottom part turns on and off.
