Samsung Tab A SM-T585 stuck in emergency recovery mode

[ashyx]

I can't go into download mode. Power button doesn't work and it only goes on when i connect the usb cable with the message to connect to smart switch. I already tried charging it.

Why doesn't your power button work? How do you turn on the device?

It doesnt turn on at all!

The only way the screen shows something is connecting the USB cable. Buttons doesnt work, i even tried the button combination + pluging in the cable to see if it goes to download mode or recovery.

it was a bad update via odin, btw. Everything was ok before the update gone wrong.

So you're buttons DO work.
You made it appear as you had faulty buttons.

In that case just plug the USB cable in then hold POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN in that order until download mode appears.

It's pratically the same as OP.

I can get into download mode. but odin doesnt flash the bootloader / firmware, smart switch/Kies doesnt work.

Please boot to Download mode and flash the firmware then post screen shots of odin and your device screen.

Here it is.

Have you tried factory reset via recovery then try and flash just BL?

I can't get into recovery, only download mode and recovery screen for smart switch

 

[ashyx]

I can't get into recovery, only download mode and recovery screen for smart switch

If you can't get to recovery then it seems there is no recovery image on the device
However I would attempt to just flash BL first and then see what happens.

Any resolution?

I have a T-580 that is stuck in the error screen and wondered if you were ever able to recover your device? I have attempted reflashing a good 20+ times without success. The device will not boot into recovery mode. Will not power on unless plugged into USB and it immediately says "Error has occurred while updating the device software. Use emergency recovery function in SmartSwitch PC software."
BUT when I open Kies or Smartswitch, even when it recognizes that the device is connected the model never populates the emergency recovery mode list so it will not allow me to recover it.
I attempted to flash back to Marshmallow 6.0.1 and Nougat 7.0 neither will pass.

You need to boot to download mode first then flash the latest firmware with ODIN. Downgrade not possible.

Thanks Ashryx

Thank you. I was initially just trying to get it to the same state it was but when that didn't work I tried desperate measures. I will download the newest firmwares and re-attempt. :fingers-crossed:

I tried everything and couldn't do it. Different versions of smart switch as well.

I had same problem and fixed after a lot of hit and trial
While in blue error screen press and hold vol down+ power button
When screen turns black hold vol up + vol down
It show's for boot loader unlock screen
Hold vol up and device will go to download option
Use Frp hijacked by haggard soft brick fixer
Device will reboot now probably erasing all data (mine was already erased)
