Hi all this great community, I have a serious problem with my phone Samsung Captivate Glide, and to install an application and hence fails to restart the logo of "samsung" and there can be hours, and try what they recommend in I have seen posts around here, removing the battery and waiting, by the way if I get both download mode and the recovery mode, and from there try to Re-Flasharlo the Official Stock ROM using Odin if I recognized and well if you did it correctly, but when I reboot again returns the logo of "samsung" and hence fails.
I also searched about it on google and other forums and especially the well known XDA say it is problem with the bootloader, now the question and doubt is like to recover or repair the damn bootloader, I searched on where to find some bootloader for my model, I have since seen some videos of other models of samsung as S and skyrocket with the same problem, there are the flash with odin also give the files of both the Bootloader, PDA, CSC, Phone callers flashing tools but I have found for my model.
I have also done the wipe's appropriate and even factory reset in the recovery mode and still nothing happen the logo.
By the way I had my phone updated to ICS 4.0.4 before I pass this problem because it came with Gingerbread 2.3, plus what I had rooteado with a program called "Kingo Android Root" which by the way is very effective and made me in less than 5 minutes without problem, I say all this for more information on this issue, if not affection to be something super-user.
I have also researched that used to do this with a "Riff Box Jtag" said the problem is not because I have no knowledge about it other than it requires special equipment
There will be some form of damage or repair this and my phone is garbage
I hope you can help me or guide me to do, I thank you in advance for your input and assistance.
Thank you ..
PD: sorry if my English do not understand because I do not know well

I recently got my Samsung Galaxy S6 and decided to root and install TWRP for a custom rom. I was able to root the phone and then installed their android app. TWRP Manager (ROOT).
After that I went to the app and one of the sidebars labeled install TRWP on the app then to the codename zeroflte for the Samsung Galaxy S6. It told me to restart my phone and I did but after that I was not able to use my phone again. Whenever I would turn on my phone it would show the normal Samsung s6 screen with a unlock picture and the words custom underneath. After that it would display a turquoise color screen with a words
Start Up Failed. Your device didn’t start up successfully. Use the Verizon Software Repair Assistant on a computer to repair your device.
I tried to google and see if anyone had a similar problem but nothing popped up. I don’t know where to find a copy for the Verizon Software Repair Assistant for the Galaxy S6.
I also tried and factory reset the phone or anything but the only combinations of buttons that would work on my phone were the down volume + power button. It gave me a list of options including factory reset but every option that I chose would lead me back to the same screen. The turquoise screen saying Start Up Failed.
Any help would be great. I don’t know what to do now. Tomorrow I am going to down to a local repair store and see what they can do. But if you know of anything that would be great. Thank you for your time and have a nice day.

Have you tried to Odin back to stock?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s6/development/5-15-stock-odin-tar-t3109676
Ya, you'll need to odin back to stock like he said. And TWRP isn't available for our phone since we don't have an unlocked bootloader. Do not try and install TWRP again. You'll want to use Flashfire if you need to flash anything.

Keep in mind XDA is a community for developers by developers. People are also willing to help, but you got to put forth your own effort. You will get ignored if you think people on this site are going to act as free tech support. Your question is posted just a few posts down from a link to the process on using odin to return to stock. You need to just follow those instructions. If you don't understand a step then Google it. I'm saying this because I noticed you joined XDA to ask this question. Or at least it's your first post. You will make a lot of enemies here if you don't take the time to read and research things before posting.

I have the same problem (Start up failed) but ODIN is not working for me... I am using the stock firmware for the GS6 edge and it says failed... what should I do?

If you have an edge you should use their forum. It's different than the GS6.
Just had to Odin my Verizon S6 (sm-g920v) to get it back to factory defaults.
I've been rooted for months with no issues and have known my bootloader was locked with no nice way around it but then i read some stupid guides saying to go get twrp manager to load custom roms on the Galaxy s6 phones and they even included the sm-g920v model number. I went to the app store, downloaded twrp manager, followed the first few steps, rebooted and that was that. Could not boot up anymore without Start Up Failed. A few checks and warning would have been greatly appreciated from the app developers but oh well.
Well that was fun. Now to redo everything on my phone.

Same exact crap just happened to me. I was running CleanRom Lite....thought I could use TWRP...some times I do stupid things...should have just stuck with FlashFire.
I've tried odin back to stock, it keeps failing. it says nand write fail and it stops. I've tried many different times. I've run Odin 3.10.6 and 3.10.7 I have the latest drivers, it recognizes the device but it will not load anything via odin. I've tried on two different computers as well.

I have a Galaxy s6 edge btw. Not much info on the edge, in desperation, I'm combing thru galaxy s6 forums seeking answers. I have been rooted for awhile. I wanted to turn off the nagging volume warning so I downloaded a zip file to flash but only to find that my twrp recovery was no longer there. So I try to download twrp and flash. Now I'm in a boot loop with the turquoise screen telling me to use a verzion tool to reset the device. Klies says my phone isn't compatible as well as smart switch. Odin fails every time after NAND WRITE. I'm about to microwave this crap and get new phone.

Did you ever get your phone up and running? I ran into similar issue with odin. After looking around on web I found a forum that mentioned using an older version of odin.

Sorry I saw you tried other odin versions 3. 10.x, I meant going lower. 3.09 is recommended for jb/kk but that worked for me.
Hey guys,
I know this has been asked a lot but please help me guys.
I have a friend's Galaxy S6 here and there was the following problem with it:
A password was suddenly set and nobody knew why, she really said it came out of nowhere!
So she asked me to get her photos from the phone and reset it afterwards.
I did that on other phones before so I flashed TWRP and pulled the files with adb.
I tried to reboot after that and was stuck at the boot screen. Guys, I almost cried (I dont have much money to buy a new one).
Please, does any have an idea for me to fix this? It would be so greatly appreciated!
I tried flashing some stock firmware from stockrom.net but Odin always says FAIL!
Seriously: anybody who can solve this: I will be thankful towards you forever
Kind regards
Try flashing the stock ROM from www.sammobile.com/firmwares instead.
SOLVED! BRICKED S6 Try this!
Sorry for asking this old question so I hope I will be able to help someone looking for a solution with this answer at least.
Everybody having a problem with a bricked Samsung device - TRY THIS:
If you can still access the download mode on your device its pretty likely that this will fix the problem.
The new version of Samsung Kies (yes that cheap garbage software to put media on your device, because you are to dumb to use your fricking Windows explorer for that) is called SmartSwitch and is capable of restoring the stock firmware on your device! Not all devices are supported but it definitely worked for my S6! Download it for Windows and Mac OS:
samsung . com/us/smart-switch/ (international link)
samsung . com/de/support/smartswitch/ (This leads you to the German version, google the version for your country if necessary. you will find it)
Start the software and boot your phone to download mode, connect it to your PC and SmartSwitch should detect it. I dont exactly remember the way to restore but it was somewhat like this (the program is simple you will find it). SmartSwitch offers you to restore the phone somewhere and it gives you a screen where you can type in the model number of your device (Use the complete Model number). This screen is important since you specify which stock firmware to load on your device here! It will then give you a simple progress bar and download the firmware from Samsung and install it!
Sorry not to be able to tell you the exact way but SmartSwitch's design is simple - if you managed to brick your device with ODIN (like I did) you will find the restore option in SmartSwitch
Seriously try this before molesting your bricked device with ODIN even more. I couldnt believe that it did work since Kies was such garbage and the SmartSwitch UI looks too simple to be able to repair a damn bricked device. I couldnt believe it when my phone rebooted correctly with stock firmware on it after I had bricked it with ODIN when trying to root and backup stuff.
Hope this helps some lost souls out there. SmartSwitch made my week when I had bricked a friends device.
EDIT: I found a video in some language I dont understand; it shows the way through the GUI to the "type your model here" option

First of all, I'd like to say that I know very little about how Android, electronics or mobile phones work in general, so everything I've done has been from internet tutorials. Please don't use any jargon as I probably won't know what you mean. ELI5.
A few days ago, I tried to root my phone and it didn't work. As a result the phone went into a boot loop and I didn't know how to fix it. The long and short of it was that I ended up flashing the stock firmware onto my phone and basically doing a complete factory reset. After some time trying this I managed to get the phone to start up and I was able to access the interface and all that. Unfortunately, my WiFi wasn't working (the button would simply turn off whenever I turned it on) so I had no way to download the most recent updates or apps or anything like that. After following several tutorials on how to fix this, such as flashing the modems and bootloader, I still wasn't having any luck. So I tried something that proved to cause even more problems - I tried to install a new kernel. Now my phone won't even boot past the logo. I probably didn't install the right one, but what can I say, it's not very clear which one I need.
Now I'd like to point out that as a layman who just wants his phone to work again, half of the time I don't understand what I'm doing or whether or not I'm doing it right. In other words, I realise that I've probably messed up my phone, but what can I do? I can't take it to a technician because I don't have the money for that, I can't buy a new phone for the same reason and I can't phone up and ask for a replacement because the warranty expired ages ago and I don't have the original documents here.
I've installed the Team Win Recovery Project on my phone and I have Odin installed on my PC as well.
TLDR; yes, I know I'm an idiot and I don't appreciate you telling me. I'd like to reset my phone to how it was before - the normal firmware, the normal kernel and all that, but I'd still like to have root access and keep the TWRP recovery mode too.

You'll probably need more information, so if you do just let me know and, if possible, where I can find it.
I have some good news. I managed to flash the firmware again and now I can access the phone again. However, the WiFi problem persists. I've tried looking on the internet for a solution, but I can't find one. I've tried flashing the modem and all that stuff, but it still doesn't work.
Oh, and by the way, I no longer have TWRP and I don't think I have root access anymore either (I had to do a data partition wipe as well).
I'd really appreciate a reply from someone. I've tried everything, but to no avail.

Hi engloa,
It's OK, I've fixed the problem now; I installed a different ROM and now it works fine. Thanks anyway though.
I tried to unroot my phone but it made my play store crash consistently so i tried and tried to wipe my device and tried to install a stock rom (i was completely new to android so i chose the wrong one i think) and it now doesn't start it just gets stuck on the boot screen that says galaxy fit. now i have a usb cable and i plugged it in and installed odin as per the guide for newbies (found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606380) but my phone isn't showing up. I have installed the appropriate drivers as far as i'm aware and googling doesn't offer any results that are useful to me. My phone's stock rom is S5670VAUQ2 which i managed to find on an alternative to sammobile (i don't really want to pay for one download, and they don't give me the option to do a slow download which i thought they used to) all help is much appreciated and hopefully there are still people who have this phone thanks
Not sure if my phone is a lost cause and only good as a door stop. My phone at one stage would only display a screen asking me to plug into smart switch to recover the phone so I tried that but smart switch wasn't happening. I downloaded the latest stock rom and installed it successfully via ODIN but now my phone will not get past the boot logo. I can only get into download mode, Any advise on if I can get my phone working again?
Thanks
Andrew

Bro, I've been there and this is why I made an account on xda to see if my s6 (G-920F) can be fixed in any way. Yesterday I had the same thing as you when I tried to re-flash the phone with its proper, latest stock-ROM (UK/EE Nougat 7.0). Given how it hadn't worked, the update attempt through Odin screaming a big "FAIL!" at me, I was afraid I had bricked it completely, so I proceeded to re-install TWRP with Odin by putting the phone in download mode. I wiped the phone again with TWRP and now I'm not sure what I have to do as I am stuck with the UK Nougat bootloader and nothing else on it.
Before this whole ordeal I had rooted the phone and unlocked the bootloader following some instructions from a Youtube video and successfully installed a nighty build of LineageOS, which was buggy as **** (couldn't answer calls, use data, use the camera and a ****ton of apps were just not working). Dumbly enough, I thought I could just remove it through a wipe and put something else back on it but oh was I wrong.
Right now I'd just want to get my phone back to working (like you), as I am out of a job and need to be able to take phone calls with a normal, working phone.
Sorry I couldn't be of much help, but yeah maybe a first step towards fixing it would be to flash TWRP recovery on it and through the terminal, see what bootloader version you have with the command "getprop ro.bootloader". At least you will know the version of the broken bootloader you're experiencing difficulties with and *hopefully* an actual dev from the forums will entertain themselves in trying to solve this noobish puzzle we've created for ourselves.
Seriously, if there is a dev ready to board this crazy adventure with us, please help.
My namesake or username is pretty much a clue to what got me into this position.
I wish it was that simple for me mate, I cant access the recovery menu, I've tried flashing various recovery options but cant boot into any of them. I'm certain I could fix the phone if I could get to recovery. I'm now leaning towards it being a hardware fault with my phone. As you have access to recovery I think you may have more luck with your phone.

Oh dear.
Yeah it does sound like something got deeply ****ed up in this case. I had the luck to somehow get past the smart switch error when the phone died of low battery. As I attached it to the charger I quickly boot it into download mode before the screen would become a bootloop again and that's where I was able to reinstall the latest version of TWRP recovery. After that, I was able to flash a stock ROM of Nougat that didn't have a ****ed up bootloader like I had. Specifically the one from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/device-5-binary-3-s6-sm-g920f-t3706025
by forumber2.
It's the Netherlands stock-ROM. Not sure if you're from the US and the carrier would be wrong with that CSC, but it was a good bet for me. I got my phone back to working normally now.
Worst case scenario I'd say see if you have a phone repair shop nearby and ask them an opinion on what could be wrong. I'm just an amateur like you.
Still, I wish you the best of luck with it. Maybe there's still some hope. :/
