Samsung A326B (A32 5G) Bootloop - recovery doesnt work - GSM-Forum

Hey guys, I require some assistance.

I have a Samsung A32 5G here that is in a constant boot-loop (can't even turn it off).
The user said it (supposedly) shut off during an update and it's been turning on and off ever since.
I've downloaded like 3 different (i'm sure they are proper)firmware versions and none of them want to install through odin.
I've also downloaded a few different .pit files and used the ones within the firmware files - they also do not work.
Nand erase, reformat - nothing.
Recovery is unusable - it displays an error message for 1 second then restarts.
Only thing that is semi-working is download mode (at least it stays on).

what to do, any ideas? I didn't even know a failed update can cause this much problems/damage.

Hey. I have the same problem on the same model. I/O Error means a memory access error. If anyone has a solution, please let me know.

As I recall someone told me that the phone's NAND memory is corrupted and repair would be unfeasable cost-wise (since it's a lower end phone), unless you want to recover your data.
