So I had my phone rooted and downloaded a modded play store. All of a sudden, i couldn't turn my phone on. When I did, it just get showing the sasmsung galaxy s6 edge powered by android screen. It would disappear, come back, disappear, and then come back again. I don't believe that I had turned on USB debugging. Whenever I tried ODIN, it would show up as "Setup Connection..." and would just stop. anything I can do besides factory reset. (I dont even know if that will work)

Where to start...
First, as a disclaimer, I may use language or terms that sound noobish. I have rooted and run custom ROMs on several devices in the past, however generally when I get a ROM I like I stick with it, so I'm not constantly tinkering. I've done my best to search and find solutions so please go easy on me.
17 days ago I was running stock 4.3 on my SGNII when the battery died. Upon charging I found I was stuck in bootloop and had a bad /efs mount. I searched and searched and spent around 15 hours trying this and that but to no avail. I finally threw my hands in the air and got ahold of Josh at mobiletechvideos and he was able to fix the efs mount issue. However, he left me in factory mode which required me to root to get out of, and once I did this I was unable to activate data on my carrier (Ting). I was so happy to have my phone "back" though that I used it like this for 4 or 5 days. I could get on wifi and I could call and send text messages. I had been off the grid so this felt like something I'd fix fully later.
Well I kept reading and found "fix" after "fix", flashed this and that and still no dice. FINALLY, last night, I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769 which helped immensely. I was able to get TWRP flashed by unchecking the "auto-reboot" option in Odin and pulling the battery after the update took, and via TWRP I was able to install the ROM. I booted up, the device activated, I was running 4.1.2, I made and received some calls, the birds were chirping, the air was sweet...
I had struggled for so long and I had finally achieved success! Then, for seemingly no reason at all, I accepted an OTA update which bricked my Note2. Devastation.
The current state of things...
* Cannot get past the initial "Samsung Galaxy Note 2" screen
* Cannot boot into recovery
* I CAN get into dl mode,
* but, I CANNOT successfully flash anything. TWRP will flash like it took, but upon reboot I'm not able to boot into it. I'm also able to flash a ROM but it fails when it gets to sbin, and upon rebooting I'm greeted by the screen "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
When I try to use Kies it doesn't find the device. I've installed all of the most recent drivers and I'm running Kies as administrator. I select Tools > Emergency Firmware Recovery, THEN connect my device as instructed.
I'm at the apex of frustration. I beg thee to help!!

Thank you.
I've just successfully rooted my Samsung G530H thanks to CF Auto Root. So 1 day after using my rooted phone without seeing any problem, I decided to download and try using Chainfire3D (it was kind of weird cuz' my first search on Google Play Store didn't show Chainfire3D). Like any other users, I explored the new app and tried to install CF3D driver. I saw something pop-up on the screen after tapping "Install CF3D....." (it could be a warning), before I could read it I accidentally tap something on that pop-up-thing, making my phone reboot. The logo showed up and it kept freezing like that for 3 hours (and maybe forever). I searched for solutions but most of them were about flashing ROM, and I had no ROM installed on my phone. I tried to wipe data/factory reset but it was no use, now I cannot connect my phone as USB cable to PC too. Now I don't know what to do because my phone has really become a brick with buttons and holes on it.

Hello,
T989- I rooted phone a year ago to tether. Other day hit factory reset, this soft bricked phone.
In bootloop, have access to download and setup screen (e.g. wipe catche, reboot, power off, etc.)
Have correct drives and tmobilegalaxys2rootICS.
Odin box yellow (com) starts to download, then stops.
What am I missing. I have another phone to live with, just what to learn.
Thanks

Just wondering if anyone can suggest a way to get photos etc. off my phone - it is locked and I recently broke the screen so can' t see anything or use it but the phone itself is functioning.
Any help would be much appreciated!!

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
If you had USB debugging turned on, can connect with that same computer to pull your files.
You may be able to flash a custom recovery via ODIN if your digitizer is not broken (that is, your phone can still register touches), by entering download mode, and confirming by tapping a little left of center. Once you have the custom recovery, you can do ADB as well.
Other than that, you would need a working screen (and digitizer) again to grab the files. So warranty work may be in your future.
Here is someone recent with a similar problem (albeit with an S6 Active):

A teaser with method two I mentioned:
> Samsung Galaxy S6 > Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting > Hard reset with a broken LCD screen?
If you have questions about any of this, feel free to ask in either of the two threads above (once you have an XDA account so you can post there).
Hope this helps, and good luck!
