Attempting to flash Galaxy A50

[randall1996]

Good day.

 Few weeks ago I posted here on our forum that my Galaxy A50 became stuck on bootloop during the installation of the huge 1.8 GB One UI 3.1 firmware update.  

 Unfortunately, SAMSUNG Service Center Megamall won't fix my phone's software unless I agree to have them repair the camera, the cracked screen, and replace the PBA. They gave me a quotation worth some 17k (nearly the original price of this phone!) This is because I told them honestly that my phone became wet last September while it was inside my raincoat pocket during a rainy morning bicycle ride to work. After a month of being immersed in rice, my phone miraculously worked again smoothly—except that the camera has become broken. (I think perhaps that the software is not functioning properly because components inside the phone corroded because of being wet.) 

 After trying so many times to get my phone to recovery/safe/download mode, luckily tonight I have successfully entered the Download Mode (see the picture of the phone). I hope my attempt to flash my phone using Odin would succeed.

Kumusta? How did you do it? And what happened after the download?

Hello. Unfortunately, failed. Successful ang installation pero after the installation, stuck on bootloop pa rin. Susubukan ko iinstall ang earliest firmware available (May 2019). I'm really disappointed with Samsung. Highway robbery ang worth 17k na repair for a software problem. The fact na sa Huawei super cheap ng repair. However, umorder ako last March 23 ng Galaxy A52 5G (Samsung fanboy kasi ako) at excited na ako na maideliver sakin.
