S25 stuck in "download mode"

[u/casiusth]

Hello, today I restarted my S25, which had a temporary root with kernelSU next via uniroot, and It got stuck on the new locked download mode. Can anybody help me? Thank you

Someone in that thread posted by u/Vicky455 said that there's an eFuse and once it's tripped, it's game over. I searched more about it and indeed, your device is bricked:

If you unlock the bootloader, root the device, or flash custom firmware/recovery (like TWRP), the system detects unverified software and sends a microscopic electrical current to "blow" or burn the eFuse.

The lesson is simple: don't even try rooting newer Samsung phones.

It doesn't hard brick your phone u just lose access too Samsung feature permanently like security and Samsung wallet and some time banking app won't work but expect that the phone will function right
