I have no Operating System on Galaxy S6

HELLO!
I recently had issues with my Galaxy S6 after "unrooting it".
In short way as possible:
1. I have Rooted my S6
2. I have decided to unroot it
3. I have downloaded stock rom from Sammobile (correct one yes)
4. The flash failed leaving me with some errors.
5. I have flashed twrp recovery and it fixed the problem.
6. Today I have turned my phone off and it got stock in boot loop
7. I tried clearing cache. Didn't help.
8. I cleared internal storage (Factory reset) and my phone didn't turn on at all... I went into twrp again to find out that there is literally nothing on my phone apart from the TWRP recovery...
9. I have access to Download Mode/Recovery mode .
I have tried flashing stock firmware on the phone and it didn't work becuase Odin is giving me errors all the time. Please don't bother providing me solutions with Odin as I have tried literally everything, different usb ports, versions of Odin etc etc. didn't work.
Is there any way to fix this? Maybe Custom Rom CM13 ?

CM13 is not stable. Try to copy a custom rom that is stable and specific to your device via adb.
Else try Odin.
Maybe try from somebody else's pc with the latest version of ODIN. If required download the stock rom file from sammobile again; mayb some errors have crept in while downloading.
Trust me; ODIN is the best option.
Check whether your computer is up to date and whether usb drivers are properly installed. Try with ODIN with newly downloaded rom file

Don't use usb 3.0 ports on Your computer. They either won't work or mess up the data that odin sends to Your phone. And flash stock rom again.

Just flash a pit file..nothing else. Power off.. Go to recovery..wipe data.. factory reset and you are OK

if you want to do a clean install you have 2 solutions first with smart switch second you download wrong firmware and with wrong i mean no for wrong model of s6 but wrong number!!!your csc must have 3 not 2!!!for example i had this firmware on my phone G920FEUR3COI6 and i tried to flash this G920FEUR2COH2 and i got a bootloop because of this section EUR2!!!for sure download this http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/57680/G920FXXU3COI9_G920FBTU3COJ1_BTU/ and you are good to go!!!

Its more easy a fast just to flash pit and to factory reset or otherwise bootloop

Download and open Smart Switch on your PC
Then, connect phone at download mode to your PC
And, rescue the firmware via Smart Switch.

If you decide to flash a Pit file, you should be able to find the right one here.

Sorry, for not replying. I seemed to get it working after flashing my firmware, but I still got the error, so I went the same way as before and flashed twrp and it seemed to work, however when I turn my phone off and try to turn it back on then the bootloop happens and I have to go through the same process all the time which is kinda time consuming. I am just downloading this firmware that you have linked me and try to flash it hopefully with no errors :angel: and it will bring my knox back

SmartSwitch doesn't recognise my device :l
I remember messing up my Galaxy S5 after tweeking things in custom ROM and I have fixed it though KIES but this doesn't seem to work anymore.

Update: Thanks for the link! I'm so mad... the firmware I was downloading didn't work and I kept on telling people it's the right one, but I downloaded yours and it worked with no issues! Odin flashed with no issues and I'm back to stock. ++++ :good:

Help with TWRP

Hi,
I am trying to install TWRP onto my S6, however everytime in Odin it fails.
I've done a fresh wipe of my phone, got Odin v3.10.7 installed on my pc with twrp-2.8.7.2-zeroflte.img.tar and twrp-3.0.2-0-zeroflte.img.tar (tried both incase the newest one didnt work.)
I put my phone into Download Mode and the plugged it into my laptop, and then chose the correct file under the AP section of Odin.

I notice in the top left it says in green letters: Custom Binary(RECOVERY) Blocked By R/L
Tried restarting my phone etc but nothing seems to change it.
Can someone help?
Cheers

Okay so I managed to get Odin to work for the TWRP file - however it hasn't changed anything in my recovery menu...
I read on https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxys6.html that I need to disable Fastboot as it wipes over the TWRP when booting... so after googling how to do that, people say to go into power settings and turn it off. But there are no settings for it.
How can I disable fastboot so that the TWRP will stay installed?

No official TWRP is compatible with the MM bootloader on the S6 yet. I imagine this is your issue?

I used CF-AutoRoot to get the initial root, then flashed a custom 3.0.2.2 TWRP (available from the official TWRP thread... Look for the idlekernel link). Works great
Bigbiff seems to have an official MM version in the pipeline, so just flash that when it's released in the next month or two
Oh, and you can just flash a custom kernel that comes with a root

So if I use CF-AutoRoot that will modify the recovery menu so that I can use any ROM I want?
I want to use http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...xtrestolite-deodexed-mod-edition-1-0-t3094423
So I'd use CF-AutoRoot and then in the new recovery menu select the zip files from the above link?

CF-AutoRoot only installs a temp recovery to flash SuperSU. It then reinstates the stock recovery, so no.
Root it with CF-AutoRoot, flash the custom TWRP that currently works with MM, make a back up, then go mad

Last evening my phone crashed i used Chromecast-app/webcasterapp and chrome at this moment.
Ive got 2 new apps Chromecast-App and FireTV app.
So sinced it crashed i thought it just reboots but it was stuck since half an hour.
iv tried a Hard reboot and tried to reboot into Recovery but it just stucks on the "Samsung Galaxy S6 Powerd by Android" screen
i just can boot into Download / odin mode
What ive tried:
Flash over Odin3_v3.12.3:
TWRP 3.0.2.0 (No Errors)

If you need any more information please tell me

Update
I just noticed that i dont have a charging screen at all

I would say this:
1. Reflash TWRP with ODIN.
2. Download stock rom from sammobile for your particular device.
3. Enter recovery, wipe and install the stock rom.
Had same issue as you, trial and error got me the solution
Do not try to flash rom in ODIN

Are you holding down the button combination long enough to get into recovery?

Usually if a phone is stuck at logo, in 90% of cases DRK is messed up, but it will only show in stock recovery.
If knox is triped, try flashing custom kernel e.g. CF autoroot, which will bypass the problem, or it can be fixed with a box.
If it is not, I don`t know how to fix it.
You can try emergency initialization via Smart Switch with sn of the phone and see what happens on stock fw. (you can check my threads, I made a guide for SS initialization)

as you can see at my first post i tried the initialization via smart switch and stock rom flashing
but i will try the custom kernel and CF autoroot when i find it on xda
could you explain me what DRK is and what you mean with "or it can be fixed with a box." what is a box?
Thanks anyway :good:

I think some people here with more technical expertise than me, can answer that question more precisely, or you can try google it, and box is a professional repair tool, like Octopus/Octoplus, Z3X, etc. mostly used by 3rd party repair shops.

so the last days i tried to flash many different versions of samsung stock: rom, kernel, bootloader; and i have tried to flash auto root and twrp custom rom
nothing helped =(
now i try octopus/plus samsung

Download kies - samsung firmware updater ( google for it ) and install the latest firmware, this in most of the cases rezolves any software related problem.
After that you can root again and install witch custom rom you want.

The last day´s i tried almost everything. Nothing helped =(
Now my last hope is the warrenty. If the bill is smaller as 100€ i will pay it otherwise i will buy the Nexus 5x
Thank you very much for each advice !

[Q] Odin flashed "Passed!" but it is as if nothing changed

Hello.
I'm trying to bring this old tablet back to stock. It is currently softlocked on the SAMSUNG logo (probably doing nothing).
Some weird things are occurring:
1. Can't boot into TWRP. I can do the button combo and I see the TWRP splash screen, but the tablet immediately reboots afterwards
2. Can't flash a new recovery. First thing I thought was that maybe TWRP was bork and I reflashed TWRP via Odin. "Passed!". Same issue.
3. Just screw it: Flash stock over everything. Downloaded KIES_HOME_N8013UEUCOI1_N8013XARCOI1_813049_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5 and proceeded to flash via Odin. "Passed!". Immediately went to recovery and I see the TWRP logo again???
4. Use the nuclear option: Grabbed the pit file and clicked "Nand Erase All". Odin finally gives me an error:
<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..
<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/005> Initialzation..
<ID:0/005> Erase...
<ID:0/005>
<ID:0/005> Complete(Write) operation failed.
So yeah. Odin can't even wipe the tablet. I can't flash anything onto the tablet.
I think I am dead in the water. Thoughts? Suggestions on how to get out of this situation?

Suggest Nand Erase all has totally wiped the partitions and information tables .
Service centre should be able to rebuild if they have a box .

Nand erase didn't do anything. The device is still in the same state it started in

Try a different Odin version and not Kies low ship version firmware .

The one on sammobile is locked and can't be downloaded.

Galaxy S7 system formatted ... brick issue

Hello there guys,
I write in this new thread because i have a huge problem with my samsung galaxy s7 sm-g930f. Actually I had rooted it with twrp and magisk (and it worked) but when i restarted the twrp recovery i always had the 0mb internal storage issue. So i tried many things to fix this but didn't work, until i followed a tutorial that ruined everything. Well .. the mistake is all mine because the tutorial stated to reformat cache and data and i did it with system too. Now my galaxy s7 doesn't boot anymore, it is stuck on the booting screen where it is written "Samsung Galaxy S7". In TWRP it is said my S7 doesn't have any operating system anymore and i can't flash anything with odin, it gets stuck at "Setting Partition". The only thing i can flash with Odin is TWRP and it doesn't help ... When i try to flash the stock rom with twrp installed, it says "Pass", the flash lasts 3 seconds and it doesn't change anything so i can bearly believe this works. I didn't find anything on the web so i hope you will help me.
Punch it.
PS : TWRP version is 3.2.3.0

Download the latest firmware files from updato or sammobile, install drivers then try again once more. Still of it is unsuccessful, boot into twrp and flash a custom rom.

TWRP doesn't work anymore and this doesn't work (either methods) !

put your phone into Download mode and Boot OEM rom via odin.

Odin gets stuck
When i try to install the latest version i get stuck at "Set Partition"

I had similar problem when was goin back from Oreo to Nougat.
By using TWRP i accidentally wiped full partition so I had to boot oem rom using odin.
But even odin couldnt do it.
Had FAIL message just before the end of the loading rom into the phone.
Then accidentally I plugget out the phone from laptop and got blue screen with big triangle on it saying to use windows smart switch to emergency recovery the partition.
I turned the phone off using power +vol- buttons and just after screen went off and before the vibra I pressed pwr+vol up+home to go into "odin download mode"
Try it, I dont think it will do more damage but it might help.
