I'm using adb sideload update.zip command, but it is stuck on serving at 0% (Verifying update package ... on phone).

I tried adb usb command, but the error is closed. The device state is sideload.

More details: I have a Samsung A03s (SM-A037F). Yesterday it suggested an android update. I accepted and after that, the phone was restarting repeatedly stuck in at the Samsung logo.

  • I downloaded the latest full update package (Build Number: A037FXXU2CVK7)and platform-tools_r33.0.3 as well.
  • I also installed the latest Samsung USB driver.
  • Then I pressed power+volume-up button to enter recovery mode. I selected Apply update from ADB

EDIT 1: I can now do a reset factory, but I need my photos and videos.

EDIT 2: When I use adb logcat , the result is just: - waiting for device - for a long time and nothing else

    check current rom A037FXXU2CVK in recovery mode and csc, sw rev: b: in download mode. download proper ROM (not latest) according to the current ROM. extract files and double check HOME_CSC exist. if so, you can flash four files in Odin3 without wiping data (not CSC). if still no luck, flashing single partitions with mtkclient might possible.

  • read back userdata partition with mtkclient python3 mtk r userdata userdata.img from pendrive. run fsck userdata.img to repair f2fs file system. if mountable, flash back to userdata partition.

  • If an Android updates goes wrong I assume side loading a full OTA firmware is an attempt to recover the phone without data loss, so I don't think a factory reset is what the OP wants...
