Soft Bricked S8+ please help - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

(Please note I am a complete newbie at this stuff and these attempts where the first time I have ever even tried/had to flash a ROM)
Okay so the other day my s8+ entered a bootloop after a system update, I have attempted to flash stock firmware onto the device but the problem is I am not sure if the firmware I am using are the correct ones, so far I have tried G955FXXU4CRJ5_G955FOXM4CRJ3_XEU,
and
DBT-G955FXXU4DSBA-20190220100802
but both times I get stuck at the no command screen, have tried going into recovery and wiping cache and doing a factory reset after both flashes also but that did not help
(Everything passes in odin)
(both flashes I flashed all stuff, BL, AP, CSC, CP) (Also tried Home CSC too for both)
the main problem is I have no idea if these are even the correct firmwares as I have no way of finding out from inside the phone as it will not boot
My phone is an s8+ purchased in the UK from Tesco Mobile
really really stuck with this so any help or advice given will be really appreciated.

Try to get into download mode, and reflash rom with ODIN.
Go to sammobile.com to download firmware for you device.
Give feedback.
solved it
After resting...flashing stock rom, hard re setting, basically watched every video on how to fix a Samsung that won't get passed logo. I ended up getting kies and i entered in my serial number and model number and it fixed my phone in about an hour with my proper software.

Phone stuck on Samsung logo

I have tried everything on YouTube videos and on other forums, and nothing has worked so far... This is what has happened:
1) I flashed a custom font zip file, which I later realised was only for the HTC One M8
2) As phone rebooted, got stuck at the "glowing" Samsung logo (the 3rd one, after the model number and the jingle)
3) Phone stuck at that logo, have tried LOADS OF METHODS and nothing has worked
Please help!
PS - I am new to these things and have rarely "dabbled" in this kind of stuff, all I've done so far (which worked fine) is root my phone, install CWM Recovery, install a modded version of Android 4.3 (?) which was designed to make your phone run faster (which it did). Please help! Have I broken my phone?! :crying:
Search for the latest stock ROM for your phone on sammobile.com and flash the ROM using Odin.
Some good info here too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/samsung-galaxy-s3-sticky-roll-thread-t2344125

S6 Edge Brick?! :'(

Hello Guys and Gals ^^
First of all, sorry for my english, i hope everyone can understand my problem
Yesterday my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge shut down with an batteryload of 90%, after that it just entered a bootloop... :/
Since i've never had a CF or anything like that on my phone, i first thought of an hardware problem.
So i started reading here and some other forums, and tried as recommendet to flash the stock firmware via Odin3.
Now i can go beyond the Samsung - spondered by android or whatever it says - startscreen, the Blue LED starts and i enter the Samsung logo, which blinks for 3-4 times, just to reboot after that again... I also tried other versions of odin and other stock FW for my SM-G925F (Unbranded). Btw, also tried other USB ports, New Cables, Smart Switch... no Kies is running in the back while using odin.
Everytime i used Odin, it seems to work and my phone starts in the recovery mode with the little android guy, saying that its downloading sytem update... ERASING is the last thing he says after 20-30%, and the bootloop starts again. Also wiped cache and did Factory reset, but still no changes
I only used the 1 Part FW for odin. Hopefully that informations are enough for someone to help me out, but if there is a lack of informations, just ask for what you need to know further
I hope someone can help me, since i dont have the money for a new smartphone ^^

Hard bricked Galaxy S4

Hi there!
I've rooted a few phones before (the old ways, including a S6 recently) without any problems.
But, doing TWRP method whith Odin http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s4-using-twrp-method/
I've had bricked it. Fail message everytime. If I just knew that there was so easy newer ways...
I'ved tried to install the stock recovery md5 file but it doesnt work. In fact I've tried so many files in the past 3 weeks ...
I think one of the cause (exept that I'm a bit dumb) is maybe that I cant find the rignt one.
My model is SGH-M919V (Canadian) but there's so many sub model numbers that I've wrote to Samsung directely. No big help, no surprise...
I can boot the phone in recovery menu so, in rage, I've wiped it all/factory reset.
I can still boot the phone in recovery menu and download mode.
And your are the last step between me, my phone and the garbage bin.
Thanks in advance.
Problem solved!
Thanks to audit13 :good::good::good:

unbrand tim galaxy s9+ odin odm.img issue

hi guys, i'm new ..
I have a galaxy s9 + branded tim, to unbrand it I downloaded the ARC5 uk and I tried to flash with odin 3.13.1 using home_csc but remained stationary on odm.img, I tried to leave it for hours but nothing, it does not fail but it does not go on .. I tried several times and I changed several times usb port, nothing ..
today I tried with the ITV version and it makes me the same problem ..
the system does not start anymore, fortunately experience that I carry on from s7, I used TAR_MD5_PACKAGER and from the home_csc I removed odm.img and the flash so continues and is completed and the phone works perfectly but in the settings continues to give me brand tim, maybe because he did not complete the csc package ..
I've had every galaxy and I've always used odin, this is the first time I have problems.
do you know what it can depend on? do you go to the odm.img without problems?
thank you
