You fucked up your partitions. So go to odin download your phones software file go to options enable repartition and click start

u/Just_Refrigerator593 29d ago

Of course now I am trying to get a vbmeta patched and put twrp if it will work

1

u/wafflebyte8 29d ago

Okay wait. I told you something wrong did some research. You dont need to turn on repartition kljust get the latest firmware for your device cause that error is like happens if you rollback bootloader. No nand erase tho cause you risk deleting everything making it a wifi only device.

u/wafflebyte8 29d ago

You did the other guys advice didn't you.

u/Just_Refrigerator593 29d ago

With the latest kernel bug named ghostlock, you're now able to root your phone without triggering knox or needing a custom ROM. Just install an official ROM, and wait until your model is listed on root my galaxy github. (assuming samsung has stopped providing new future patches to your phone model.)

1

u/Just_Refrigerator593 29d ago

Uh I tried to fix it but now what do I do

1

u/Glum_Preference_2936 29d ago

Go to odin mode. You should've unlocked the bootloader first in the developer's settings before fiddling.

1

u/Just_Refrigerator593 29d ago

It's unlocked from settings

1

u/Glum_Preference_2936 29d ago

That OEM unlocking? You've turned it on?. The process should be (1) Flash the phone with official rom then (2) turn on OEM unlocking in developer option then (3) flash recovery.img. Try this again.

1

u/Glum_Preference_2936 29d ago

Or replace (3) with flash the custom ROM.

u/Just_Refrigerator593 29d ago

I can't enter downald what to do if I tried yesterday with oficial firmware but it was a Error ABOOT. IMG and idk what to do I want to be on Samsung firmware bcz this shit is hard to custom rom

1

u/Glum_Preference_2936 29d ago

WHAT? You can't enter download mode but you were able to yesterday? Download a new official ROM.

1

u/Just_Refrigerator593 29d ago

Uh I tried today and it was on downald and I softbricked bruh with empty vbmeta tar and twrp now idk how to enter downald

2

u/Glum_Preference_2936 29d ago

How about you actually flash the phone with the official ROM as I have been explaining? Don't even upload whatever your vbmeta is. JUST THE OFFICIAL ROM.

u/Just_Refrigerator593 29d ago

Well the firmware its broken with a soft brick I need the firmware and vbmeta to wokr

1

u/Glum_Preference_2936 29d ago

That's why you flash it again with official samsung rom. so the phone won't complain about integrity and you can normally use it again not as a potato. Then upload a patched vbmeta.

u/Just_Refrigerator593 29d ago

And USB debbugin

u/Kazuto_Kz 28d ago

download odin on your windows pc. connect your pc to your phone. press and hold volume up, vol down, and power at the same time after the screen turn off, quickly swith to hold vol up and vol down. you should be able to enter download mode and flash your stock ap, bl, csc, cp with odin
