Guys help My Galaxy S10 5G (G977B) is stuck in Download Mode with "VBMETA verification failed" and "Secure Check Fail (PIT)". I locked the bootloader and it got stuck in download mode then I flashed with stock and now it won't boot. Does anyone know how to fix this?
My dad gave me this S10 5G last 2 weeks with Slight dent on frame, Slight AMOLED burn, its korean variant G977N he bought it at South korea last 2019 and will be using as my main phone because my A52s 5G decides to give up because the left side of the display touch is not working and i am buying a anothe phone again in 2027 and my also my third phone S20 had a line 3 lines due to heat. My question is, is S10 5G prone to Green lines too? My plan is to use this phone for 1 to 2 years.
This is an overview
Once you uninstall them no more firmware updates, if you still want to update use odin to flash firmware OR
Visit ASC & tell some stupid reason your phone battery backup is less or it lags. Their 1st response is to update . pay the nominal fee of inspection/service. if nothing happens you are in the win. if colored line appears or phone bricks its on the ASC to repair / replace it on their own.

Hi, I’m trying to figure out what is wrong with my Galaxy S10 (SM-G973F).
The phone has worked for around 5 years without any problems, including no overheating issues or noticeable battery problems.
Then suddenly one day:
- Left the phone untouched on my desk for ~1 hour.
- Came back and it was completely powered off.
- Tried turning it on → Samsung logo → shutdown → repeat, causing a bootloop for ~2 hours.
- Eventually managed to boot it, but it only worked for ~5 minutes before shutting down and bootlooping again.
- Cooling the phone down allowed it to boot normally again.
- Before the factory reset, the phone was consistently running at around 60–63°C, sometimes reaching ~65°C, even during relatively light use.
- I backed everything up, then performed a factory reset.
- After the factory reset, the bootloop problem has not happened again. However, the phone has still randomly rebooted a few times.
- It can run normally for 5–6 hours, then randomly reboot once and continue working normally afterward.
- Before one reboot it was around 60°C, but immediately after the reboot it dropped to around 40°C while doing the same tasks.
- I can currently stress the phone and get one thermal sensor to ~60°C without it shutting down.
- The issue is therefore intermittent and I can't reliably reproduce it.
The battery is the original battery, has never been replaced, charges normally, and seems to hold charge normally.
I also have an ADB diagnostic report. The most interesting part shows:
Kernel PANIC
EXT4 ... ext4_find_entry ... sda31
The phone has already been factory reset, so there are currently no old apps/data causing this.
What could cause this behavior? Is this more likely to be a failing UFS/storage chip, motherboard/power issue, thermal issue, or some kind of kernel/filesystem problem?
I'm especially interested in why the phone could stay around 60–65°C before a reboot, then immediately after reboot run at around 40°C under the same workload.
It says switch to google messages. Is that forced and required to switch to that? is that what most people generally do? if there are other options, what are they?
I have a old samsung galaxy s10 phone. Android 12 is the last update for my phone. Currently Android 17 exists.
Just sharing my first impressions after about 12 hours on LineageOS 23.2 on my Exynos Galaxy S10.
I’ve had this S10 since 2019, and over the years One UI started feeling heavier and more laggy to me. I did try a few Samsung-based custom ROMs, but they just weren’t really for me. The system still felt a bit heavy, whether that’s because of the One UI skin, or just the Exynos hardware itself. Exynos has had its fair share of performance issues over the years anyway.
So far, LineageOS feels noticeably lighter, smoother and more responsive. I do miss One UI, but this S10 is mainly going to be used for lighter stuff, so I don’t really need the Samsung camera features. I also noticed that some useful features are still here, like Dolby Atmos and reverse wireless charging, which was a nice surprise (haven’t had the chance to test most of these)
I haven’t really kept up with the Android/custom ROM scene since switching to iPhone around 2022/2023, so I’m still catching up on everything that’s changed. It’s obviously too early to judge battery life or long-term stability, but first impressions are very good. The phone genuinely feels fresh again.
got volte working on lineageos using claude
Same as title is it still worth buying s10+ I want to buy it bcz I had a huge crush on it back in 2019.
Ps-I have primary phone s21 fe and I want to use s10+ as secondary phone.

thank you everyone who contributed to make this list.
I miss Small screen phones the most that were usable by one hand ! which is why I’m clinging to my S10e & Passionfruit 13mini.
My boyfriends s10+ is having issues. The top bar went away, the close app tab icon went away, and when he turned up the sound, the soundbar won't show. And he can't hard reset his phone or hit the power button on the top. Everything else works normal.
I keep getting a message saying that Samsung Messages is being discontinued and that I need to switch to Google Messages.
I already switched to Google Messages and set it as my default messaging app, but the notification keeps popping up. Every time it does, I’m asked to set Google Messages as the default again.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a way to stop this from happening?
Has anyone who has "upgraded" to the S26 figured out how to have swipe gestures work like on the S10?
The "improved" navigation is annoying AF 🤦♂️
