[HELP]G920F XME bricked.

Hey guys,
I accidentally flashed the CF-autoroot for 5.0.2 (I forgot there is no root yet for 5.1.1) right after updating to 5.1.1. Now, I'm stuck on the Downloading screen with no access to recovery. When I tried flashing stock recovery(after converting from img to tar.md5) from the Stock tar.md5 it game a NAND Write Start FAIL. I can't flash the stock firmware (G920FXXU1AOCZ) either it gives me the same NAND error.
I have no idea what to do next. Any help will be appreciated. I'll probably head to a customer care center tomorrow if I can't figure this out by then. Please any and all ideas welcome.

Are you using Odin 3.10.6?

Exit from Download mode by pressing and hold both volume up and down button + home button + power button for a few seconds. After this you will exit download mode. Once screen turns off press and hold volume down + home button + power button. This will bring you to menu prior to download mode. Restart odin. Connect your device to your PC. Press volume up. Reflash your 5.1.1. Don't make the same mistake twice.

I have this same problem, I can only access download mode I CANNOT get into recovery. May I ask where I can download the 5.1.1 software from? I flashed from smart switch but now I am bricked smart switch does not pick up the device. My S6 is the varient mentioned here. Please, please, please someone help with a link. Thank you.

There is no 5.1.1 firmware yet for G920FXXU1AOCZ. If you have a link or can upload one I'd be very grateful. Also I can flash any 5.1.1 G920FXXU1AOCZ firmware right?

From what country do come from or where you bought your S6?

Based on the CSC (XME) you mentioned on your title you can try flashing this G920F 5.1.1 Malaysian ROM via Odin:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/49468/G920FXXU2BOFO_G920FOLB2BOFF_XME/

I am in the UK and I bought it from O2

Here you go UK O2 5.1.1:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/49735/G920FXXU2BOFJ_G920FTEF2BOF1_O2U/

I am in India bought it from Malaysia. My phone is XME-G920F. I was just able to flash another 5.1.1 ROM from another Asian region (XEF). Somehow that worked. Sadly now I have to fix region lock since I didnt make a call before leaving Malaysia.

Reflash using the Malaysian 5.1.1 posted above.

Will that fix sim lock ?

Hi, I just recently got a UK S6. (SM-G920F) I'm not sure where to really begin other than when I go to try to enter download mode it goes to a screen that appears like the stock android recovery only everything is in Chinese I believe. (Yes I'm holding volume down, home button, and power button) But no download screen comes up. And I'm pretty sure its running a custom rom because of the boot animation when it powers up (says datuyo) and there's no option to download an ota update. All I'm trying to do is go back to fully stock (I'm in America on AT&T). Build number is KTU84P.G920FZCU1ANIF if that helps. Also below it it says "Custom build version" which is I9296.MHD.C.B-V3.0_0508. I"m not sure what this means, but that's my situation, ANY help would be appreciated.

my tv box stuck on "starting" screen and no moving, i was trying to access recovery mode by pressing the power button while turning on using the physical key but it didn't happen, and while i was trying all the button, it came out to recovery mode but i couldn't make it again crazy right? not sure what was it, it was power button with something else but i tried so many times and i couldn't get anything. now am calling the service to fix it for me.

Im sorry guys taking too long to respond.
here's how its work for me.
1. turn off the android box.
2. before you push the turn on button on android box, press turn button on remote repeatedly.
3. while push button 'turn on' on remote repeatedly, push your android box button 'turn on' once.
4. keep repeatedly push button 'turn on' on your remote until its enter recovery mode.
5. voila.
I'm still exploring this android box. If you guys have better or another idea, better post it in here.
i hope this help. thanks.

Thanks for the tips. Done it but just a little different. Switch on the power button on the back of the stb & immediately after that pressing the red power button on the remote repeatedly. Now it is time to work harder searching for the latest android for this stb.

i keyed in 3008 for few times and it was wrong. i had to turn off the stb from the back, now it keeps restarting, i think i screwed up the device!

ok so the password for the recovery is 304830 and from there i managed to roll back to the old software. i re installed all my apps after that . need to call TM to get my IPTV login information.

Bricked my S10e one day after getting it, i need some help

So, today my dad bought me a new phone because i needed one, an S10e. And i, like a massive idiot, decided to flash it with TWRP to try and root it. It worked, sort of, TWRP recovery worked fine, but the phone was in a boot loop when it wasnt in recovery. So i decided to flash the stock firmware, only that it got stuck on the System part when i flashed it with Odin, so i had the brilliant idea to disconnect and try again, except i ended up bricking the entire download mode. I cant turn off my phone, nor can i go into recovery mode, everytime i try to turn off the phone, it boots up back into the download mode with the Smart Switch error, no warnings, no cancels, nothing. Just the error screen. Now if i try to flash it again with Odin on the error screen, it gets stuck on Boot.
Am i royally ****ed to the point where i cant send it to the store? I got it today so i thought i could take it back to where i bought the phone for a replacement or repair, but if not then i honestly dont know what to do. I tried using Kies or Smart Switch for restoration, but they dont even recognise it.

Ooohh...So sorry. Im going to look around for some help for you.
I used to do this but havent the need in years with the new technologies.

Better to ask over at the Magisk root thread in the regular S10 forum.

You can call Samsung and if its under warranty they can walk you through or do it while connected to your computer.

you should be able to get into download even after that error
just take out the usb cable and hold power + bixby+ vol down to force reboot then just hold bixy and vol down and plug the cable then you are back into download mode and restore your phone. It's not messed up
Search on youtube s9 download mode.

:good: Help it rise Undertaker21.

Try to boot in fastboot and reflash all partition.

Thats the thing, if i hold vol down and power for the 7 secs to get out of download mode, it automatically boots itself back into download mode without any "press vol up to continue" and stuff, its just the constant "an error has occured while updating system software" screen and absolutly nothing else, and like i said, i tried to reflash all the firmware back to stock, but odin just stops at Boot, and a message appears on the error screen saying a PIT check failed (thinking about it, i could just be that i downloaded the wrong firmware, i dont actually know what country the phone was made in, and if it helps, i bought it in Lithuania, and i unlocked it with a Lithuanian SIM card, so im not sure what country firmware i should get. One strange thing: i remember looking at the display case at the salon i bought the phone at, and it said that the phone has the Snapdragon CPU chipset, but if that was true then i wouldnt be able to have unlocked my bootloader for Odin in the first place)

Could you check the back glass for the model number?
It should start with SM-

Use smart switch, please follow the instructions in this video
You need IMEI and Serial number which can be found on the box of your phone or it will be embedded in the back glass
I believe on the newer version of smart switch you have to enable device Initialization from the preferences tab

This is so odd. Ideally a picture of the error screen would really help here. It's usually pretty darn difficult to brick a Samsung phone.
Have you tried using a different USB cable and PC to do the Odin flash?

Finish the battery power of the phone and leave it for 2 days or so (in Download mode and *not* connected to odin) for faster battery usage, or anywhere as long as it on
After that power it to recovery mode with the volume up button and the power button but press em right after inserting the power cord (cable to your phone to charge it so it can boot to recovery)
When the Samsung thingies pop up release the power button and don't release the volume up button
Press till u see the recovery menu and then wipe cache and then factory reset it :cyclops:
Mostly likely it's gonna need the previous Google account details, I'll research on how to frp bypass the Google lock

Hope you are doing it correctly to go to download mode:
When your comp is on, connect one end the USB C cable to your comp , turn off phone, press & hold volume up & down buttons together, connect the other end of the cable to the phone. When the warning screen appears, press volume up.
It's been like this for sometime now(starting with S20 series).
