I have a Samsung S6 (SM-G920V) Verizon 32 GB. It was rooted with Ping-Pong Root (apk).
I try to install TWRP. At the restart, my cell phone would not start more. Apparently it was not compatible with my version of mobile phone.
TWRP not installed, so I understand.
When I turn it on, it stays on a light-blue screen.
I try to install a stock firmware with Odin3 but the application remains frozen with the message 'NAND write start!' for several hours. And sometimes the status message 'Set Partition' appears in the box where it should say 'PASS' at the conclusion flashing.
You have a solution? What?
If I can give links to the files you need, also they are grateful.
Are you in download mode with the phone when you are trying to odin back to stock? Silly question but I have to ask.

The bootloader is locked on Verizon. No custom recoveries for our phones.
I had trouble getting Odin to work on mine once. I went back and forth with 3.09 and 3.10, closed odin, opened it back up and it finally took. Try a different USB port if you have one.

Have you tried a factory reset? Go into maintenance mode. Same buttons as download mode but with your phone turned on. As soon as the screen goes black, release the buttons.

What I meant was, what button combination are you using to get into download mode?
Are you doing it like this?
Power Down the Galaxy S6
Press and Hold the Home Button, Power Button and Volume Down Buttons at the Same Time
Continue Holding These Buttons Until You See a Special Download Mode Menu
Once You See that Download Mode Menu, Immediately Let Go of Those Buttons
You’ll Need to Press the Volume Up Button to Accept the Warning
If so, what firmware are you trying to flash? Did you check MD5?
Have you tried a different cable?
Different USB port?
Even a different PC? (If one is available)

If that doesn't work, some people have reported having luck restoring their phones using Samsung Smart Switch. It's main purpose is to transfer data from one phone to another but it also has "Emergency Recovery" and "Software Update and Initialization" sections.

I was updating to froyo using the Odin installer and for some reason it stalled. I waited 10 minutes and nothing happened, it was stuck on DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!! aaand being the genius that I am reset the Odin installer and phone...now I get nothing. The phone is completely unresponsive, no ! screen or anything.
Am I screwed?
edit: sorry for posting this in the wrong forum, please move to Q&A if a mod gets a chance.
close EVERYTHING, take everything out of your phone (sim, battery, and sd card.) then put the battery in but DONT TURN IT ON. have your usb cable ready. hold the two volume buttons down, and then plug in your usb cable to the phone (it should be plugged into your comp) WITHOUT PRESSING ANY POWER BUTTONS. if you get back into downloader mode, you are fine and can then restore using odin or the i click restore
hmmm, well try this take out the battery sim card and ex sd if u got one, open odin, put the battery back in and plug the usb in while holdin the volume buttons, aka download mode... sometimes it doesnt work the first time just try it a couple more...
I did this with my phone. If nothing comes on screen when you plug in the USB cable and entering recovery and download mode don't work, then take thye phone back to AT&T, they accepted my bricked phone back. Just act dumb like you have no clue why it's broken.
I have a similar issue, however I can still get into the downloader..but it just hangs when restoring on factoryfs.rfs....
Any suggestions on that?

Are you doing the method where you remove the battery first, hold the volume buttons (without power) and plug into USB? That *SHOULD* get you into download mode- if not, maybe check a different USB port.

Guys, good news! I recovered the phone and install Froyo. My error was that it came to how to download and then disconnect the USB and reconnected.

Hi all,
My Samsung Galaxy phone is stuck on the Samsung boot up logo. I shut off the phone and it starts up again to the Samsung logo again. I am rooted but still had the stock rom and kernel.
I went to selections and wiped my cache and tried to format it like a new phone. The same thing still happens. I am not sure what else to do. Anyone know how to fix this?
Keep the instructions simple please, if you do know. (I'm a desperate noob)
Thanks for any help.
IF you ever did nandroid than just restore that otherwise.........
Hey first follow this steps to flash any rom. If you flash the rom properly than you can use any stock rom from dev section and use that.
OR
follow this step to go back to stock and it will unroot you.

My problem is that my Rogers SGSII LTE I727R, is stuck on the logo screen, which is flashing the boot screen. When I connect the USB (even after install of Kies and Odin), my PC does not see the device. I am really not sure what to do. I think I set the wrong phone ID when I installed recovery (I think I was supposed to use the T-Mobil SGSII setting), but I selected something else. I then tried to backup the existing ROM, and am now in this unending loop. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

Try another USB port or another computer. If you can get the logo you are in a boot loop, the most common form of a soft brick. If you can get into download mode you should be able to fix it.

Don't panic. If you're in a boot loop it's fixable. It's when you get nothing that you need to worry about a hard brick.
Try the button combo mentioned above to get into download mode. If that doesn't work, pull the battery again and try using just the volume down button button--I've heard people say this worked for them when they had a hard time.
If this doesn't get you into download mode, I guarantee you that a jig will work. You can buy one online or make one yourself for about 75 cents and a cut-up data cable (I had a car charger that I didn't need--car charges the phone through USB port, so I cut that one up). Always good to have a jig, at any rate...

I went to check for updates and I got this, "your device has been modifed, Software updates are not available".
So I checked under Status and it says "custom''.
I have never modified this device as I have zero reason to. I tried reformatting without the SD card and it works for about a week then I get the message again. I have done this about 4 times already.
Anything? Did I pay full price on a refurb from Best Buy, that I special ordered because no one had a 32 gig?
What does Kies say ???

nothing, just says "Connecting" for an indefinite amount of time. It connects to Kies Air but you can't do anything other than file transfer with that.
have you booted it into odin mode..
holding down vol down and power button and see what the FLASH COUNT SAYS.. If you bought it brand new and there is a Count on it i WOULD be screaming at best buy.. They do repackage items... .

OK. Now what. I have zero idea as to what to do. Restore? Take it back to BB? It seems to be working fine otherwise, just this bugs me.
Of course, my GN2 is not supported by Kies version 2.0. Why would the Samsung flagship phone actually work on the program that Samsung is pushing us to use. Guess Itunes is still my best bet for an ANDROID operated phone, I feel the blame will probably fall on Verizon. Sorry, rant... (sadly itunes works better with my GN2 and GN10 than it ever did with my iphone, ipod, and ipad)

Thanks for your response. Odin does not highlight a port, when the phone is connected. ADB says no device found. I think I will go to Best Buy and ask their Samsung Expert to update ROM, which might get it out of loop.
While in recovery you should be able to mtp xfer a stock rom to your downloads directory (SD card), and flash it, would be my hope. I believe you did say you can get to recovery.
What happened/changed that left it error booting?

Maybe I am using the wrong term...I can hold the volume button down and power button to get it to a screen where I can wipe the data to factory. Besides that I cannot get to any other screen. I was trying to flash Philz recovery on the device. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

I have downloaded the tool per your suggestion. However, I cannot get the phone into download mode, so I am back to square one. Thanks.

Are you on OEM recovery? If on TWRP recovery you can MTP a file to the SD and flash via that. I'm not familiar with OEM recovery other than seeing it once.

First of all, thank you for all your responses. I really appreciate that. I ended up sending the phone to LG to be fixed. I just want the phone fixed and server as my backup now, since I bought the Samsung Note 4 and Gear S. Will update, when I hear back from LG. Thanks again.
Sounds to me that the drivers are not loaded correctly on the PC. If you can get to recovery you should be able to get to DL, I would think.
I have a Verizon Galaxy S7 that I rooted and have been using on T-Mobile. With the new T-Mobile nougat coming out yesterday I tried flashing the new update using Odin. When I tried to flash via Odin it showed failed and my phone was stuck on download mode. So I trying rebooting using the Power + Volume Down and that's when i realized that the phone has been hard bricked. I don't have anything but black screen. When I try to get into recovery it shows "Rebooting Recovery" and then black screen again. Can someone please help me unbrick this phone? Is there anyway to boot from sdcard? Any way to get into a safe mode or something like that?

No I can't get into download mode. Otherwise I would've done exactly what you said. Download mode isn't working. When I try to get into recovery it shows "Recovery Booting" and then it goes black again.

I'm sorry. I don't think I clarified it properly. When I press the Volume Up + Power + Home I see a set of blue letters saying "Recovery Booting ..." I don't see anything after that. The phone goes back to Black screen and I don't see any of the recovery options.
What do you mean by Download mode "Does not work" ? Can you please elaborate.
Also, try to hold the download mode key combination in for like 20 seconds.

1- Waits for the battery to be empty ( if phone can be charged again )
or
2- use jig to force phone to star download mode

If you're just faced with a black screen when you try to access download mode, try to plug it in with odin and see if it's detecting anything?
I've been in a similar situation where you are now, and by pressing the combinations for download mode for maybe 30 sec the phone restarted itself a couple of times and evetually I got download mode.
One other time I held the combination and I thought I got into download mode but my screen was still black, and just for the fun of it I plugged it into my computer and opened odin.
Odin said "Added", I flashed stock, wiped everything, restarted and it worked! I then flashed stock rom completely again for safety reasons.

Yeah tried all those. Nothing worked. Just gonna send it back to Samsung since it's covered under warranty. Thanks for the suggestions though
Just being curious, if one of those hard brick occur, and i take my phone to service, what would they do to fix my phone? is it even possible to fix it, and how much would they request you to pay?

You voided the warranty as you have rooted and tripped the E-fuse
Happened the same to me because of a xposed module. Black screen with a pulsing blue led. Someone sugested to wait for the battery to drain and then try to connect to Odin. I have not tested it.
At the time i panicked and sent it to Samsung immediately without thinking.
Good luck to you.
