First let me list out all the common software glitches first and then proceed to the solution at the end.

Some common scenarios;

Galaxy Android Smartphone Stuck In Recovery After Downgrading Firmware

This issue can be resolved by yourself if you have some dedicated time to spend. As you all know all Galaxy Android Smartphones degrade it’s performance over time and all the solutions points out to downgrading it’s firmware. However most of the time downgrade fails and you will be stuck in the recovery mode. So in order to fix that you need to install the combination firmware rather than the normal fimware.

How to do that?

Don’t worry we will explain that procedure in the end of this tutorial.

FRP Lock On Samsung Galaxy Android Smartphone

Almost all of us may have gone through this weird situation were you are stuck in the FRP lock (factory reset protection) which was introduced from Marshmallow and higher firmware versions. This is an Android security feature which is a nightmare for many who forgot their Google account credentials that they used to setup their account initially on that phone. As the name says it protects your Galaxy Android Smartphone from unauthorized factory data resets.

So in order to fix that you need to install the combination firmware on your Galaxy phone using the Odin application. We will explain the method later in this tutorial.

Galaxy Android Smartphone With Error “Kernal/Recovery is not seandroid enforcing Set Warranty Bit Recovery” When Booting Up

This error stops you in the recovery menu all the time you try to switch ON your phone. Normally you will get this error after a factory data reset, custom recovery installation, rooting, manual firmware installation using Odin or after downgrading the firmware.

As already mentioned above in order to fix that also you need to install the combination firmware on your Galaxy phone using the Odin application which will be explained in detail later.

Unable To Downgrade Firmware On Galaxy Android Smartphone

This is the most common issue after a bootloader upgrade through OTA. In this scenario you will not be able to downgrade your firmware, no matter what methods you try always the flashing will be failed and even if it’s a success the phone will fail to boot up successfully. This is because the updated bootloader is not compatible with the older versions of the firmware.

So in order to fix that you need to downgrade the bootloader along with the firmware. For that you may need to install the combination firmware.

Unable To Upgrade Firmware On Galaxy Android Smartphone

On some Samsung Galaxy Android Smartphones the reverse happens, in this case you may not be able to upgrade the firmware manually. So in order to fix that you need to upgrade the bootloader along with the firmware. For that you may need to install the combination firmware instead of the normal one.

Heating Issues On Galaxy Android Smartphone

Heating issues in most cases if not hardware related are due to corrupt firmware or a rogue app. For that the best thing to do is to factory data reset the phone. But in some cases it fails, now the only option left is to install the combination firmware.

If I list out all the scenarios the tutorial will be too lengthy and it will be very difficult for you to find out the real solution, so I am going straight away to the steps to install Combination Firmware on your Samsung Galaxy Android Smartphone.

Steps To Resolve The Above Software glitches On Galaxy Android Smartphone Using Combination Firmware

1. First of all you need to download the combination firmware file corresponding to your device. As it is impractical to provide all the download links, please search in Google with your phone model and firmware version. For eg: If your phone is Galaxy S8 G950F and the combination firmware version you need is Pie 9.0. Search in Google like this “Galaxy S8 G950F Pie 9.0 Combination Firmware Download“. The downloaded file will be in “.zip” or “.tar” format.

If you didn’t got the confirmation please install/reinstall the Samsung USB drivers from the below link and try again.

4. Now extract the combination “.zip” or “.tar” firmware file that you have already downloaded before. You will get 4 or 5 files after extraction like shown below.

5. Once done you may click the “AP” button and select the appropriate file (the file which starts with the name “AP”) from the extracted firmware, same way click “BL”, “CSC”, “CP” buttons and select the files.You may check the below screenshot for reference.
