[Q] S6 Bricked?? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
So yesterday I rooted using PingPong root, went fine, didn't trip Knox etc etc.
Installed Lucky Patcher, ended up getting the "out of space" error when trying to install apps so done a factory reset.
Get up to the point when setting the phone up and it just hung at "Just a sec...", no matter what I done, nothing changed. So I downloaded official Samsung firmware from sammobile and that's where I'm stuck now. Odin has been sitting at "NAND write start!!" for about ten minutes, nothing is happening.
Any advice at all? Pulling my hair out, the phone is only a week old.

I forgot to mention, did try that briefly earlier but the download got stuck on 0%, left it maybe 5 mins. Any way I can use the downloaded firmware with smart switch?
Also, phone is now stuck at the downloading screen lol, how the hell do I turn the thing off?!
EDIT: NVM, got it turned off, will try smart switch again.
EDIT 2: Smart switch is actually downloading the firmware this time, panic over! Cheers for your help.

Ur welcome

Ive just found the reason why...
i forgot to turn off reactivation lock... when i disabled it, flashing was succesfull afterwards

Is my tab soft bricked or hard bricked or something else? Please help!

I have a problem with my Samsung Tab p3100, when I turn it on everything that happened before it turns off happens again.
Like I received a certain text message, after reading it, it should be like marked as read in inbox but when my tab shuts down (which happens every 2-4 mins) then I turn it on again... I will receive the text again. Same with apps, everything I uninstall before shutdown goes back again, even deleted files.
I tried to factory reset but there's an error "did not match sized '/system/csc/..." something like that, so I tried to wipe data/cache but everything still goes back when I turn it on.
I tried flashing it with Odin (pit and pda), it goes on for a while but when halfway it will throw error..
Here's the complete message:

I don't know what happened because i have not installed anything for like months...
What kind of brick is this?
And is there any way I can fix this without sending to samsung? Cause I already brought this to a local repair shop and they said that they can't fix it and I have to pay about $60++ so they can send it to samsung to repair it..
By the way, it's not rooted and no custom rom, just the default when bought brand new.
Any help? please...

[Q] Odin flash bootloader gone

Just tried to flash my SM-G920X It's a demo version of the S6.
( No calling. I'm ok with this it's not my problem)
Because it had the retail mode software installed that is a nuisance. I tried to flash over it many times. The retail mode locks the bootloader and can't be removed, its an administrator. wiping with android device manager just returns to stock+retailmode. retailmode documentation now says it can never be removed.
recovery mode wipe is forbidden.
cfautoroot and twrp both fail - its the retailmode lock
I tried flashing with G920FXXU1AOE3_G920FXEU1AODQ_XEU.zip with the *Phone bootloader update* ticked. It's a full unbranded rom from sammobile. It should have a bootloader?
It replaced the bootloader!!!!
Then hung. reboot phone.
"An error has occurred while updating device software. Use Emergency recovery function in Smart Switch PC software."
I can't. it demands a code from the programs last try when the update failed. Or you can try to use the sim registration serial number online check. But I no have sim! It's not registered. (it is not stolen I've already had a back and forth with samsung email serial number check. I got it from ebay)
Cannot power off! stuck on either download mode or emergency warning. Both bright blue/green whole screen. left it plugged in last night so it didn't drain the battery flat. Was very very hot this morning. I put it in the freezer for half an hour.
Think I can still use odin. It says added. I can still get it into download mode.
Just need to totally reflash the thing. But with what???
when I try to reflash bootloader I get...

Holy ****! There is something very wrong with the way odin deals with these things.
I just copied out the recovery.img file from the stock rom I've been trying to flash. Copied it over the one in here twrp-2.8.6.0-zeroflte.img.tar as suggested by this post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/solved-stuck-download-mode-failed-odin-t3104736/page2
I have recovery back!
This is an odin **** up as he says.
reboot. exactly where I was retailmode still there account still there.

Help 2 week old S6 FRP Lock enabled for no reason

Hello I bought an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S6 from Best Buy 2 weeks ago. It worked perfectly until Wednesday 3/9/16 when it randomly flashed then turned itself off when it was laying next to me in my desk. When I turned it on it flashed the "Custom binary blocked by FRP lock" and I have not been able to remove the frp lock.
I did not in any way attempt to modify the phone, it was completely factory stock until the day it got locked.
Model: SM-G920T
Apparently this is the stock firmware I'm not sure: www[dot]getthefile[dot]com//2016/03/samsung-galaxy-s6-sm-g920t-flash-file[dot]html I can't post links yet so I hope this will do
I've tried odin countless times and its always stuck on NAND Write Start!!, it stays like that for hours on end.
I'm using Odin3 v3.10.6, I have the samsung drivers as well

Any help is appreciated thank you very much.
You are trying to flash an Snapdragon based device's software.
Just plug the phone to PC in download mode and rescue it via Smart Switch. It'll download the right firmware for your device and flash it automatically.
Here's how you can do it;

I have a similar problem to the original poster, except I think mine was rooted before it was sent to me, It used to open with TeamWin. So anyway, the first month was ok, then it started to fail until it just stopped working. I brought it to the Samsung shop here and they said the seller forced the wrong firmware into the phone. It started working again but now it says Custom Binary blocked by FRP Lock. I tried the video, but SmartSwitch won't even recognize the phone. Help please! I don't want this phone to be an expensive paperweight!

Samsung Galaxy s6 G920I (Aus)

Hey guys; New to the forums; Read a few guides nothing has really helped so far but I could just have missed something;
So what happened is;
I have succesfully taken all the bloatware off my s6 Edge; I was trying to do the same for the misses phone (Galaxy s6) Yes i made sure to get the right firmware
I downloaded from sammobile.com the G920I XSA so i could get rid of her telstra bloatware. However halfway threw the installation (Odin) it said failed and the phone was stuck in download mode for ages; I decided to just try a reset (after about 45 - 1hr) then it started booting up with a ! saying an error has occurred while updating the device software Use the Emergency Recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software;
Which I have tried doing; However it keeps getting to about 1 or 2% of the installation (yes it has finished the download read something on here about people getting stuck at 51% download) Then it asks me for a recovery code from a previous computer; I bought this phone used off someone with all the stock bloatware from telstra so I dont have the recovery code; How can I get around this ? I dont have their phone number either as it was on my old sim which didnt fit into this phone and I have already given my other phone away...
As of this min I am downloading the telstra version of the firmware again, Will this fix it ? and then will I be able to put the XSA firmware on ?
Thanks for any help
Appreciate it

Is my GT-N8010 bricked?

Hi all,
I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 (2012) which worked fine until one night I switched it off before bed. The next morning it doesn't boot up. It just shows the Samsung logo.
The machine won't go into recovery but starts to show the TWRP initial screen before going back to rebooting.
The machine will go into download mode and I have tried flashing stock a stock ROM and TWRP again but each time, ODIN reports a fail.
This is the log from ODIN when I try to flash the stock ROM:

I have very often flashed ROMs in the past without a problem. I had TAB Sensation on the Note and had been using this for quite a while, then this just happens without any obvious reason.
Any help would be so gratefully received.
Thank you.
Jason
Download again.
Sent from my SM-N920C using XDA-Developers mobile app
Thanks for this but what should I download again?
stock ROM # for your model .
Same problem, but with unrooted model on stock 4.4.2. Happened once before, when under guarantee, and Samsung fixed it. Issue in detail:
Switch on - stuck at 10.1 logo
Will restart into download mode
Won't restart into recovery
Windows 10 computers won't recognise it when attached ('unknown USB device'), so ODIN doesn't see it.
So I'm stuck - any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Attempted remedies so far:
uninstalled Kies
installed Samsung drivers (various versions)
reinstalled Kies
Skipsoft Toolkit
I've got the exact same problem with mine, it started several months ago. I was about to toss it but figured I'd give it another shot after a coworker told me of this forum. He suggested loading a new firmware/OS via the micro SD card, although since it won't even really boot I'm not sure how I'm going to do that.
