Its best if you state your issue in your device's section for further/better assistance.
I dont know if this has been fixed yet, but did you setup nvflash prior to your bricking?
If so then you should be able to use your backup files to recover easily?

Reflash your factory OS. Only option you got. I would be careful flashing things to a device like that one

By doing the research you need to do. You will have to track down the info for your device. It is different for each device. After a minor search for the device. I would contact them OEM Techno about it. And to be honest if you get it fixed avoid flashing anything to it ever again.

[FIXED] Reversed touch after accidentally falshing of SGS6Edge root to SGS6

I accidentally flashed g925f cf-auto-root to my g920f. Oding let the file to flash successfully and now my phone's touch is reversed. Now if i swipe left-to-right the phone's screen swipes right-to-left. To click a botton on the right side of the screen i have to touch the left side of the screen. Even after flashing the right cf-auto-root file (cf-auto-root for sm-g920f) the problem could not be solved.
FIX:
Dial *#2663# in the dialer and update the thouch screen penal firmware by selecting 'TSP FW update (General)' button.
Original contributer for this fix is @Wuby986

Try Odin-ing back to stock using your original firmware. That should reset your phone to how it was when you got it.

Thanx for the reply.. i will try after downloading the stock firmware. Touch behaves the same way on the recovery too..
Still the same after flashing the stock firmware.

He meant flashing the bootloader and modem from that thread.
I have tried that but didnt solve it.
Maybe i need a .pit file or give a try by flashing via kies/smart switch, but my internet is not that stable and fast enough..
That is clearly not a rom issue. Maybe flashing the wrong cf-auto-root had messed the touch driver which loads even before the kernel or system. I'll be greatly appreciated if somebody shed a light for this matter
yeah, that's will be helpfull, i'va try all and nothing work, that's strange like if someone got a phone who still can upload all configuration at factory settings and we could put it in our phone that's would be great !
Unfortunately if I haven't solution tonight, my phone will go back for a exchange tomorrow....But not sure they give me a new one.....:crying:
Does anyone found the solution for this problem?
no, i've just try a nand erase all and still the same problem, i've send a message to chainfire to see if he's got a intel but still wainting for he's reply
edit:
now i'll try a nand erase all + update bootloader enable
and still the same problem!!!!!!

Unless you give specifics such as your baseband, whether or not you have root, as well as what the problem actually is, no one can help you.

If my understanding is correct,
you erased the EFS folder when you were trying to install the EFS files for the AT&T variant.
Is this right?

Try using Odin to unbrick. As long as you can boot into download mode, you should be able to without issue

Odins say succes but in the device update process bar at middle says erasing, rebot and stuck, i try to wipe factory reset and doesn't work
Do you have a BestBuy where you are, if so you can take it to them and if they have the samsung desk they can force flash it back to factory at which ever software version you ask them, I have had to do this!

Yes, you only have to write "fastboot oem lock" . If you need to download an official image to get your watch clean, you can download it from https://developer.android.com/wear/releases/wear-preview-downloads, but download Oreo version, not Pie.
