How to get download mode after having bootloader exception

Guys, I just had the same problem several hours ago, suddenly my IMEI became null and my baseband state as unknown

So, I try to ask my best friend, you can call it GOOGLE then after so many hours I tried any method finally I can solve this

For so many times I failed to fix it and suddenly brought me to "Bootloader Exception bla... bla...bla.."

Here is the step:

1. When the bootloader exception message appears, press home button twice several times until the message located at the very top of the screen and you find "forced uploaded by key pressing" icon in the center

2. Press POWER+HOME+VOL(-) you will have the download mode on your phone

3. flash the stock firmware via Odin (AP+BL+CP+HOME_CSC)

4. Voila,... your phone will be back and ready to use again

from the step above, I can fix the bootloader issue, moreover, I can fix the baseband and IMEI too.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] :
Some people here recommended that you let the battery completely drain (until It wont turn on anymore), plug it in, and immediately as soon as you plug the charger into your phone, press the button combo for download mode. I fixed mine a while ago by holding down the force-restart buttons than as soon as the screen went blank, held down the download mode buttons. Took alot of time, strength (your hands get tired after being in the same position for so long), and patience. After all that, I finally booted into download mode and flashed the bootloaders and the kernel and it booted as good as new.

Cheers!

I have similar issue, even though I have access to download mode, but flashing stock firmware, with odin/kies/smart switch gives me error and won't boot, the error on boot is

ASV TBL VER = 8

ASV TBL VER = 0

NAD : PSSED

RPMB PROVISIONED

No matter how times I flashed I end up on the same error.

Any suggestions?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shazzy1:
i feel disgusted of samsung's 'FLAGSHIP' quality. my good old n9005 is still holding out like hell, But my G935FD sucks like hell in quality. i have flashed more than 1000 times on my n3 and very little comparatively on the S7E. still the n3 holds on like a champ and the S7E is on the ropes.

This Actually Worked

I had the same problem with the exception , but I managed to go to DL menu , but my PC give me an error , that USB device not recognized , what shoul I do ? cause I cannot DL anything wit ODIN when pc doesn't see the phone :(

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] :
Download these drivers from Samsung's website and install them to your computer. I suggest rebooting your computer after the installation has completed.

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] obelix123:
that was not the case , I installed SMART SWITCH to get the latest drivers from Samsung ,

But , I managed to boot into boot menu and there was reset to bootloader , so I try that and phone started normaly like when I choose hard reset , and i was releaved , suddenly pc recognize the phone , so i try to DL to it newest firmware thru odin and that was big mistake , cause know I'm stuck wit diff problem that when i open odin and put everything in correct directories and start up the process it freezes and would not go futher , try that times and waited almost on 1h and nothing :( , so i aborted the process , but know i can get to bootloader menu , only to DL menu
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
Bro if you can get to download mode, try flashing again with odin, whats your odin version? Try using odin 12.3 to flash. You may need latest odin. Also check if your drivers are properly installed and phone is recognized by pc.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] obelix123:
I'm using odin 3.12.7 , I have the latest drivers , and the phone is recognized now , I try diff vrsions of NOUGAT and odin still stucks on sys.img and then give me error message FAILED
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
Wait, tell me how did you flash ? By putting the four files in their respective boxes?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] obelix123:
yes . 1st AP then BL . CP and CSC then i connectec phone and push start . I forgot to mention , that phone has FAP lock on . maybe that's the problem
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
Frp you mean? Are you sure you put files in their correct boxes? Even frp lock shouldn't stop you from flashing. Try using smart switch emergency recovery to flash if everything else fails.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] obelix123:
yes I mean FRP , emergency recovery doesn't work wit switch - it want some code or something I don't know , but maybe the problem is in the phone I think cause when I start I up to recovery or DL mode after about 30secs it freezes everytime and I can nothing do , only restart it.

and I'm sure with those boxes its dummyproof :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
You need to put your serial number there, its the code that smart switch emergency recovery is requiring, you can find it printed on your original phone box and on back of your phone starting with Rxxxxxx . Honestly i would advice you to try this one time. If it also fails your phone got a problem, you may need to exchange it or send in for repair. Good luck.

What worked for me

I ran into this issue today, completely bricked my device. I had no access to download mode, couldn't restart, it was the hardest brick I've ever seen.

The device was stuck on the "bootloader exception" display, though I've never seen anything like it before. It wasn't quite right, and there were trailing letters and symbols which tailed off from the standard error messages. The screen stayed on this display until it finally ran out of battery.

That was my only saving grace, and what I would suggest if all else fails. Allow the device to completely drain, until the screen goes black and the buttons become (well, they already were) unresponsive. At that point, start charging the phone and put it into download mode immediately. That's a win in any case, since it's further than I was able to get before (nowhere).

I wasn't really sure what to do at this point honestly. Since I don't know what caused the problem. All I know is that I was using Firefox (which has been loading incredibly slowly recently, not sure if a factor) at the time, and was just loading a page. It bricked in my hand and I didn't even notice until I looked down again. I can deal with FRP binary locks or other issues, but this came out of nowhere and seemingly impacts stock users too. For reference I'm using an S7 GM-390F, Superman ROM (not the most recent release), TWRP recovery. I recently had an FRP custom binary lock which I resolved, again not sure if a factor (probably not?).

I ended up flashing a bootloader provided on the Superman ROM dev thread, because I really didn't know what else to do. The device crashed a few times after that, I got a fair few resets/loops and also some purple pixelation of the display. It also made a loud buzzing/crackling for a short moment before restarting. All of this generally leads me to believe it's a hardware fault, in some capacity. It's currently working again now, but I don't hold out hope that it will continue (it's been on for about 3hrs now).

TL;DR - Wait for the battery to die. Put it in to download mode immediately on boot. Flash the relevant bootloader. Pray. I hope this helps someone, but it's probably a fluke honestly.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] vencku:
Had this problem yesterday. I read this thread but the power buttons did nothing so I waited for the phone to drain. I have to plug the phone in now but still get the bootloader exception.

Two things I have noticed:

- I only have red text on my screen while other people seem to have red and green text. Does this mean anything?

- The number behind the RST_STAT changes. The first time it was 0x200000000. After the phone drained and I turn it on again, it is 0x10000. Again, does this mean anything?

I also noticed that when I plug my phone in, I don't actually have to be pressing any buttons. It turns on automatically to the bootloader exception screen.

Still haven't been able to boot into download mode.

Phone is unrooted, about 16 months olds, Galaxy S7 Edge, nothing weird on there.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
Hey bro, its best to repair it if you are in warranty or exchange it, it surely is motherboard problem, and its really bad that a lot of people are facing this.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] vencku:
As I am currently abroad, that is not really an easy solution for me. Getting back just to return the phone now would cost me a good £200.

So either I solve this problem, or I pretty much have to get a new (cheap) phone here until I go back home. And that is assuming the shop will then accept to take the phone back.

Several people here have been able to solve this issue with their phones. Is there a reason this solution does not work for my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] vencku:
I called Samsung and was able to take my phone to a Support Centre today.

Verdict: motherboard failure.

It will have to be replaced. Normally this would take about an hour but as their Friday shipment did not come in, they had no spare parts. (When it rains, it pours!) I can check back in on Wednesday afternoon so I'll update again then.

It does mean that all data will be lost. They did try the powerbutton trick in the shop as well but to no avail. I wonder why that works for some people and not for others.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shah22:
As i told you, this is a serious hardware problem of nand chip, and could happen with any unlucky one, this problem has no solution at all, that button combination trick may work for some people and not for others, if this issue happens after warranty has ended, then you have lost your money for good, because charges of part replacement for this phone is that costly, its better to buy a new one, samsung should have atleast done a complete quality check of their hardware. I would advise to all that if this issue happens with you, NEVER try to fix it yourself IF you are in WARRANTY, take it immediately to a service center, but ofcourse if your warranty has ended, then you have no choices other than try fixing it yourself, or affording a costly repair. This bootloader error, along with pink lines on screen and blurred front camera are the worst manufacturing defects of S7 series that effected a lot of people and samsung has not shown even a little responsibility for all this. So, i would always advise to sell your phone just at the end of your warranty to keep yourself from a big loss. Good luck to all.

Hi everyone,

This toppic is already centuries old, maybe even someone has mentioned what I am going to say (only read the first 2 pages), but what I did worked.

If that Holding the power and VOL down button Menu button thing does not work, let it be as it is.

Let it drain your battery completly empty.

Plug the charger in, wait for a minute and start it up with the powerbutton.

And whola, it works.........at least with me........

you can fix this problem too easy. just press home button for 2 seconds, leave for 0,5 second then press again for 2 seconds. you are now enabled upload mode. press vol down+home+power buttons. your device will boot to download mode

Hi, everyone.

Since I have update both my phone and watch to Android 6.0.1 all calls to my second SIM are displayed as "private number" number on my watch, although they are fine on the phone. Calls to SIM1 work just fine. Tried reset watch and also Google data on phone, no deal... Anyone else having this issue? How to fix it?

By the way, Whoscall Wear stopped working with AW 1.4 too. I suggest everyone using it to contact the developer so they can fix it.

Thank you.

I am a Vietnamese frequent visitor in Sweden. My Universal works perfectly with the Vietnamese SIMs, but neither with any SIM from Sweden. I have tried out both the +46 73 and 76 operator series, but non of them gave any network coverage. I have tried also to work with the original ROM (which is WM2003) to the most latest WM6 (radio version 1.17), but remains the same problem.

Trying to search this forum, there was 1 post telling that ROM 1.09 works well with the Swedish system (this post was in March 2007), but I could not find this radio version to make a try

Does anybody experience the same problem, and find out how to overcome this problem? Thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] TheDayOfCondor:
I had a similar problem going to the States with my universal.

It worked without any problem for two days and then, suddently, no signal, no service.

I was able to scan for network and to get a list of operators, but not able to connect to any of them. I also tried to hard reset, nothing.

The phone started working again as soon as I got bak to the UK.

The idea I got is that the phone got blackisted for some reason.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nosepull:
I have a strange problem with my Z3C's GPS (note: running CM12.1 nightlies). The problem did not occur when I used the phone for navigation last year, I first noticed it some time in January. So either my hardware has broken since last year or some upgrade broke my GPS.

Symptom: GPS does not work reliably when stationary or moving at slow speed (i.e. hiking or running). It takes forever to get a fix. Literally, many times I can put the device down outside with completely free view to the sky and after 15 minutes and more there is still no fix. The number of satellites picked up according to GPS Status&Monitor varies, most of the time 0 to 2, sometimes up to 8, then dropping again to 0 for no obvious reason, but even with 8 satellites no location?!? If I get a fix and record a track with OruxMaps, the quality is bad, many dropouts, very often the fix is lost. The GPS location and heading is drifting around when I'm standing stationary.

However, when I drive in car and use Here Maps or OruxMaps, the GPS is perfectly usable: Fix after about 30 secs in motion, good positioning quality, good tracks. Even when the car is standing, the position is not drifting. As soon as I leave the car and walk around, the positioning is soon degrading.

An issue with might be connected is that I cannot calibrate my compass: Every compass app claims that it has to be calibrated (even if the compass bearing itself seems to be pretty OK - every direction is where it is supposed to be). All the methods given on the net - waving 8, turning in all three axes - never got me the compass calibrated. I also refreshed AGPS, cleared caches and dalvik, regularly flash an upgraded CM nightly, no change.

As I'm using CM12.1, I cannot get into services menus, it seams.

Has anybody an idea what could be the reason for this strange behaviour?

[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaveTheAsian1:
I religiously use the Google Authenticator app on both my Asus Zenwatch 2 and LG G Watch R. At some point, for what seemed to be no reason, I couldn't get any codes when I opened the app and all I would see upon opening it is an endless loading circle until the watch went back to sleep, taking me back to the main watch face.

SOLUTION:

Fortunately, this wasn't too hard to fix. Just go to the Authenticator app on your phone, touch the three dots in the top right corner, touch Android Wear, then uncheck "send codes to wearable device" and then re-check it. Voila.

Thanks for the info but it seems for India, N7100XXUFNL1 is the latest one.

It looks like Samsung has abandoned N7100 along with thousands of it's users.

I would not like to root or use any other method to upgrade to later firmwares as I have no idea about them,so it is better to leave it as it is instead of bricking it.

We spent so many thousands of Rs for buying this N7100.Shame on Samsung for abandoning it .
