920i, stuck in TWRP recovery and touch doesn't work.
I just followed this
What should I do now? Just wait for my battery to discharge then try again?

Holding down the power button for 7 seconds should reboot your phone.

Does updating your firmware work with the post TWRP image?

This didn't work for me. I had to go into download mode by holding down power button + home + vol down and flashed TWRP via odin.

I'm on the AOD1 firmware and using stock recovery currently. Apparently flashify only allows 3 flashes per day so I'll wait until tomorrow then flash TWRP recovery.

Stock Recovery for SM-G920R4
I have the US Cellular S6. Where can I find the stock recovery image? Thanks in advance

Had the deep sleep problem on my 920F and I just reflashed the root to solve it.. It will reflash the stock recovery when it is done hence remove twrp

Hello, I have a problem my s6 and unlock the lock on the recovery I can not help me redemare

SM-G925I, Brazil (VIVO) firmware
My device is SM-G925I,
Brazil (VIVO) firmware
This is what worked for me:
1- Flash S6EdgeTWRP.tar from Odin 3.10.6
2- Install SUpersu v2.37.zip from TWRP.
3- Update supersu from the Play Store
4- Flash the stock recovery.img file (after downloading from sammobile and extracting the recovery.img file) with the Flashify app.
5- Extract the recovery.img from the TWRP tar file and flash it from the Flashify app.
Now my device is deep sleeping.
The deep sleep issue seems to be when you flash TWRP from ODIN. You have to flash the TWRP recovery.img file from Flashify to get deep sleep working.
I have not flashed any deep sleep fix.
Hope this helps someone.

If TWRP is correctly installed, all you need to do is:
- turn off the phone
- hold volume up, home and power buttons until TWRP opens.

Sometimes you need to restart download mode because something gets screwy. Also make sure you are using the latest Odin.

Are u using stock rom or monster$ rom
If yes than go to system/etc
And delete install-recovery.sh
If there is no such file then just leave it[tat install-recovery. Sh is already been deleted in monster$ rom if u find it then just delete it]
Don't use any app too flash zip
Like rebooter, rom manager
Go to recovery manually don't use any app to boot to recovery
Btw I never stuck on cwm

Remove Battery and power off the phone now PRESS VOLUME DOWN+HOME+POWER and it should boot to download mode if not then you need to follow omkar steps....
Why So Serious?!
Thanks for the help friends.Problem resolved.Actually I had flashed Onkar's rom after reading the suggestion given above.But it did not work.Then I flashed the stock recovery through odin.But phone got stuck at samsung core logo and never go forward.At last I had to flash the latest stock firmware and it worked.
I am still confused,why the phone got stuck in Cwm.I had never experienced such things with my earlier phone.
i had the same problem today and i slove it by these steps
1- go to download mode manuly
2 - reflash cwm with odoin
it works for me but every time i use cwm to do any update i have to do these steps again
i'm not an expert but i think maybe there is something wrong in cwm

Sir, dont know how to go to the download mode manually & my phone is also not connecting to my lappy. ???????
This will solve your problem.....xD
Just follow this method ...
1. Download and Put this attached file in external SD
2. Install this zip using CWM recovery..
3. Turn off your mobile through CWM advanced menu or by pulling out battery..
4. now enter into bootloader mode using ( vol down+menu+power )
5. Reinstall CWM recovery using Odin.. ( don't worry this you will be connected to Odin trust me....)
6. Install new Roms or ignore it if you dont want...
All the best.........xD
Please note that this problem comes most from force recovary restart by any apps......so enter into CWM through buttons is safe .

Try mounting system it helped for me. If it has not helped, flash stock revovery using odin and remember NEVER reboot to recovery on core using any app script. Flash cwm again after you roll back to stock recovery and use three button combo first hold vol up then home and then power button and hold it till the heptic feedback (vibration continues) and to enter download mode or we say bootloader mode for odin just hold vok down key insted vol up key.

hi guys
I'm stuck at download mode. Odin does not recognize the phone, but the computer does. drivers are properly installed.
I have i8262. I rooted the phone with framaroot. When I got stuck into recovery I installed CWM_De_Loaper.zip.
Now I'm stuck to download mode and Odin does not see the phone. No recovery no nothing.
I have to say that since the first time I got the phone everything goes wrong. I gave it to support and they flashed stock rom already one time. I couldn't do it because Odin does not recognize the device (while drivers are properly installed).
I don't know if I missed anything. I'm desperate. HELP.
Thanks
Well, I have sorted it out. I'm not sure what the problem was though...
It worked on another computer. Drivers are properly installed to both of them. KIES is not installed on the computer that didn't work and I suspect USB problems as well.
I cannot be sure of the nature of the problem...
Thanks anyway
Same problem Bro
Dude i am facing the same problem as uh were facing please guide me how do uh did that please bro itz very urgent uh know na how it feels

With fastboot...i've flashed the recovery.img. and system.img
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda app-developers app
Furthermore should be added, that the phone should be brought into 'fastboot flashing' mode and only then reflashed. Bringing the phone into "fastboot flash' mode is done by pressing Vol - (Volume Down) and Power buttons simultaneously, wait for the system to install the drivers (Android Device or smth. similar) and then start flashing.
For more details, feel free to PM me.

Deleted OS from OnePlus One

So I was trying to perform a simple factory reset in recover mode on my OnePlus One and accidentally erased the OS. I know I could simply download a ROM onto my SD card and install though recovery only my volume buttons don't work so I'm unable to boot into recovery that way. And when I tried to boot into recovery from my PC I get a "device not found error" I'm assuming because USB debugging is not enabled. PLEASE HELP!!!! Is there any other way to boot into recovery and/or install a ROM?
Try this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/tool-oneplusrecovery-tool-v1-0-restore-t2991851
May or may not work for you, it worked for me a while back.

Ha ha ha ,i know. If there is no os , when you switch on phone it will enter recovery only , he said volume buttons not working , but if power button eork , when he switch on phone it will enter recovery i think . If so he will do as i told..
---------- Post added at 12:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:54 AM ----------
Pc identify only fastbootmode or adb on switch on position. If there is no os r, phone in recovery mode pc won't recognise . Are you in recovery or phone is not booting ?
When I boot the phone up it gets to the OnePlus screen and stays there

S6 Issue - Wont boot

Hi guys,
A friend of mine has given me a S6 which they said did not work, after a bit of fiddling I found:
Download Mode, was working
Recovery mode can't be accessed
Normal boot doesn't seem to work at all (no boot logos including samsung one)
I have attempted to flash the correct ROM but to no success, also attempted to flash just the boot loader to see if that would help, all passes through odin without errors restarts the phone but still doesn't boot.
Am I missing anything, anything I could try? It's rather an annoying situation as the phone must be operational for download mode to work but seems bricked.
Thanks all
Did you use rom with consisting of 4 files or one?

One being a md5 file of 3.7GB
I think you should use rom consisting 4 files ( ap, bl, cp, csc ) and PIT ( you can extract from csc file). Then the entire phone will be reset.

And one more thing, when you flash stock rom with odin you must force restart your device, then factory reset in recovery otherwise it will not boot... but you cant access recovery

Literally nothing, it stays with a black screen, its weird as hell. Any other ideas?
On this as well, when trying to boot plugged in to the computer nothing on the USB controller. If I boot in to download mode it shows. I don't get why it's bricked in this way :/

Don't know man, if everything is ok with your hardware and if you are attempting to flash right firmware for your device model then i have no idea what is wrong... i am also new to samsung and maybe someone else can help... good luck
Thanks anyway mate.
Anyone else have an idea?
I am in exactly the same position as you, have you made any progress?
I flashed the latest stock rom and I get to the boot screen but no further. no access to recovery either so only have download mode.
The Firmware I flashed was in one file. Where can I source the latest firmware in separate files to see if that works?

Help! OP6 stuck in 'the boot loader is unlock and software... etc' screen!

So i tried flashing blu-spark twrp.. and magisk up until the moment i had to reboot after installing magisk... now the phone is stuck in this screen i dont know what do, help
What screen? Pictures would help others give feedback and information to assist you. I have yet to update to Android Pie because I am waiting for an official TWRP release myself and I like to gather as much information as I can before I make a leap into the next update

+1 same procedure and same problem.
No connection to PC possible and no "reset-buttons" work.

Okay, I managed to get my phone booting up again.
1. Turn off phone by holding just the power-button
2. Boot phone into fastboot-mode by holding vol-up and power-button
3. In Fastboot-mode connect phone to pc
4. get stock OxygenOS-boot.img (Stock boot-recovery images) from here
5. flash the boot.img via fastboot: "fastboot flash boot stockboot.img"
After that my phone booted up again. TWRP is removed through that procedure. I will wait a while before testing it again.
Got the same as you. Booted back into Blu Spark TWRP, wiped Dalvik and cache and then selected the other boot partition. Booted up for me.

Did this wipe anything when you flashed the stockboot.img? Just data or internal too?

Sorry, can you clarify your last bit about selecting the other boot?

Nothing was wiped. All data remain in place.
