Note8 stuck on System update error loop

[usercVNiWQVDgH]

Hey! I have had my phone note8 for 3 years now and have never had this problem before. This afternoon it shut off automatically and would not turn on. So I plugged it into the charger and it turned on a few times but would shut off directly.   

The big problem: 

Now my phone won't turn on if it's not plugged into the charger. And when I plug it and turn it on it's stuck on the ''System update error loop''. Please help me, I have done everything that I could find.

When I turn it on it goes to ''Installing system update'' and then it goes to this and I'm stuck nothing will happen I have done everything, cleared cache, recovery, etc.

online but nothing works.

Try using the emergency software recovery function in samsung smart switch for pc.

Hey! Thanks for the suggestion! But the problem is that I cannot even connect my device to the smart switch. It's stuck on Recovery mode! This is so frustrating.

You may need to take it in for repair.

If I can't fix it, I will throw it in the garbage. This should not happen in the first place without any reason and I'm not the only one who has this problem. This is a huge problem that Samsung should fix, we live in 2020.  Time to move on to another brand. Thanks for trying to help anyway.

Did everything I found online and it didn't work. I even tried flashing the firmware with Odin and passed but it didn't work.

Had the same issue as you on my Note8 !  The error was a bit different at the bottom of the screen, but also complained about mounting /EFS...

Tried to flash as well, but no luck!
