      Every time you boot, it goes to recovery, or it is for the first time after the ODIN flash?
      Choose the reboot option and set it to a standard OS.

      Khi bạn có điện thoại di động bị khóa nhà cung cấp dịch vụ, Bạn có thể sử dụng bản sửa lỗi OEM; nếu không, bạn có thể flash no-verity hoặc các tệp sửa lỗi mã hóa khác.
