I just bought the S6 The day before yesterday. It was working fine until I received the official Firmware update from Samsung by going Settings> About device> Software updates. Downloaded the update then the phone needs to restart to complete the update. It doesn't complete it. It just gets stuck at whatever percentage it desires and then reboots and goes into the updating screen again. I tried going into recovery mode and it just doesn't work. as I can't turn the phone off. I tried making it discharge completely then recharge it and then boot it into recovery mode but it still doesn't work. The only thing that works is ODIN mode. So what should/Can I do about that?

The unit has been used for about 2 months and remains quite new. It was quite stable before. Yesterday night, about half an hour after plugged in for charging and with WiFi Hotspot turned on for sharing 3G data to another netbook, the unit suddenly rebooted itself. It then stopped at the start-up screen and remained there for several minutes. I kept holding the power button for a few seconds to turn it off but it then automatically reboot itself afterwards, and stopped at the start-up screen again. It means that even complete turning off is not possible.
Trying to enter into recovery mode showed the following few lines:
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Updating application...
Copying Common Apks.

Click to collapse
and then it automatically rebooted again. It means that it can't enter into recovery mode normally.
It was possible to enter into download mode. And it was the first time this machine went into download mode. I run Odin Downloader and flashed the official stock ROM. After showing "Pass", the device rebooted itself. Unfortunately, it still stopped at the start-up screen, just showing "Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus". It is really troubesome. I have experience playing several Android devices before and it is the first time I face such troublesome problem.
The device is an official product. The biggest problem is that the original purchase invoice was lost and most likely that I couldn't get official support, repair service or replacement.
May I ask if anyone would kindly provide me some help or advice. Thanks!
Instead of going into download mode go into recovery mode and see if there are any errors. Your scenario is sounding very similar to the one I had in the past.
I just ran into a nasty snag at boot logo as well. nandroid, stock kernel and factory reset were no help. Try Odin back to Stock, it still may not get past boot logo, hold vol up and power to get into recovery and factory reset. Hope it works for you.
Unfortunately I was unable to get into recovery mode even after odin flashing stock ROM.
It rebooted itself a few seconds after displaying some lines of text. I can't see the normal recovery menu.
my samsung galaxy s6 is using android marshmalow,it started last night when out of nowhere it started to reboot itself,i tried restarting the phone but after a few seconds of being on it rebooted it self into the samsung galaxy s6 powerd by android state and keeps showing the white led light and just stays there,i tried wiping particion,factory reset,entering safe mode,but it keeps going back to that exact same state,i also tried charging the phone for several hours but keeps coming back to that state
Note:i can turn the mobile off,and when i do that the phone doesnt reboot,i only reboots when i try to leave it on
Edit:
-so i now managed somehow to boot it into safe mode and it doesnt reboot,but once i exit safe mode it start the hole thing over again.Note:sometimes when i boot it to safe mode it reboots some times it doesn´t
Hello mate just do this it wil take you to the latest fiwmware for your s6 but every thing will be deleted its emergency firmware recovery on smart switch this wil work 100% dont think just do it this will fix every single thing i but try first to flash a stock rom via odin if that doesnt work than you have to do a emeegency firmware recovery i had the same problem even when i flash a rom via odin did not work but this wil fix it for sure just go to the link below and try it out good luck!

I had my phone just sitting on a wireless charger this morning and had been there for about 15-30 minutes. I noticed it was rebooting, odd I thought? I took it off and then realized it was going into a boot loop. I gave it a soft reset and then it would turn on and stay on for about 10 seconds before boot looping again. I again gave it a soft reset after a couple loops and now it seems to totally dead, as the title implies.
No button combination has worked and I've held them all down for well over 30 seconds each. I've tried plugging it into my PC and haven't gotten any response that way. The blue LED is on so I know it's not dead...I think? To make matters worse, I bought this phone off Craigslist about 5 months ago and it's the Exynos version so I definitely can't get any kind of warranty on it. I'm hoping someone has had this problem and can help or just has some advice. Thanks everyone.
EDIT: To keep this updated, I have been able to get into Odin Mode and have tried to flash stock firmware. Odin says everything went fine but the phone hangs up at the Samsung Galaxy S7 logo. I'm unable to boot into recovery mode and I've even tried to reinstall TWRP with Odin and that has not worked.
Seen the LED only problem before, waiting for the battery to drain and the phone to turn off seems to be the only known cure atm
Once it does, connect the charger for 15 mins, then boot directly into recovery and clear caches to try fix the bootloop, possible it may need factory resetting / clean flash of stock ROM
Using the MicroUSB > USB white adapter, you may be able to connect a power hungry USB peripheral to the phone to drain the battery faster, I use a USB desktop fan, but some people report it not working when it is stuck in this LED loop and have just had to wait it out
Thanks for that advice, I'll let it drain over night. However, I have been able to get it to boot into Odin Mode and Odin v.3 recognized it. I flashed the stock firmware but upon rebooting nothing happened and now it gets stuck at the Samsung logo screen. I can still get it back into Odin mode, which I believe will be the fastest way to kill the battery, but I find it odd that I can get into that but not recovery? I am rooted and have TWRP installed, if that matters at all.
If you can get into Download (ODIN) mode, then letting the battery drain probably won't help, that only seems to help when the phone is completely stuck with nothing but the LED working
Make sure you flash CSC (Not HOME_CSC) along with the other 3 sections of the ROM, using ODIN 3.12.3, that should factory reset the phone after the flash
If you successfully flashed stock with ODIN already, you are no longer rooted and do not have TWRP installed, flashing stock with ODIN replaces all that with stock
I updated Odin and once again tried to flash the 4 parts, making sure I used the right CSC file, but I'm still getting hung up at the Samsung Galaxy S7 logo. Do you have a suggestion as to which region's firmware I should use? I have been trying the Australia one from SamMobile's site.
EDIT: And to clarify, I have the G930FD(the duos one).

Any region would work, and the F firmware works for the FD too
Hello all. Since nougat update my phone has started having boot up issues. I had software update a month ago and after it was updated it failed to boot up. It just froze on Samsung logo screen and i had to wait for the battery to drain to start it again. So that time it started after a good few tries. Now last night it had another software update and again after it was finished it rebooted and failed to boot up. Gets stuck on logo screen/ samsung screen. I tried booting in safe mode.. nothing ... gets stuck again on black screen and have to wait for battery to drain. When it gets stuck i can't do anything not even reboot with any of the buttons. I've tried going into recovery mode but once it boots in recovery it shows Installing System Update or something simmilar and in 1 second gets stuck untill battery is drained again. So basically i can't do anything on it. It won't boot up in normal/safe mode or recovery mode... Any suggestions ? I've tried samsung switch on my PC but it needs the phone into recovery mode and i can't get this far. What else is there to do ?

Hi everyone,
My S6 (SM-G920T on T-Mobile) suddenly froze when making a phone call the other day and wouldn't turn back on. It would only go to the Galaxy S6 screen and freeze there.
I downloaded the stock firmware using samfirm and reflashed the stock firmware using Odin. After that it went to the little Android symbol said it installed update and seemed to work. I got the phone to reboot to the setup made it about half way (adding e-mail accounts, etc.) and it froze and just shut off again and wouldn't turn back on.
I reflashed with Odin again. Said it succeeded. This time it died at the end of the Android installing update process. Now just stuck at S6 screen again.
It seems pretty well borked. Just wondering if there is anything else I should do before giving up to get a new phone?
