New SM-G920F with Smart Switch : Device locked ?! - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I can't connect my SM-G920F to my PC or Mac. I have tried without Smart Switch first. No luck. It is recognized and a SAMSUNG device but won't mount.
Then with Smart Switch it says "The device is locked so you cannot connect to it. Unlock the device and it will connect automatically."
I passed the lock screen and I am on my home screen. I connect it to USB (debugging on and off) and still the same thing.
Also tried removing my Fingerprint lock screen. Same thing.
Am I missing something here ? I am getting crazy and desperate !
Please help !
Also I never have the choice to select MTP or PTP. Just the Charger Notification.
I bought it Factory Unlocked and updated it to 5.1..1 using Odin.
Thank you.

I found a way. It is clearly not a good one but it works.
I put it in Download Mode, then run Smart Switch, entered my model name and S/N. Restored the firmware to the latest version. This did nothing after the restart but it might be a good thing for the next step anyway.
Next thing is a Hard Reset to factory settings. This did the trick. My phone was detected directly in Windows as a Galaxy S6. Nice and easy. Now Smart Switch recognize it as an S6 also.
I also have the pop up "Connected as a media device" on my notifications which I never had back then.
Well, I had an automatic restore after that so it wasn't a pain after all.
Good luck !

Reflash 5.1.1 again via odin...

will the phone boot into fastboot? with the phone off, vol down + pwr ?
I used method 2 manual flashing from the thread you linked to. It was not a developer phone, and the commands said they all failed, but the phone still returned to stock.

May have brocked my phone?

Downloaded ODIN and some custom rom from a thread yesterday. Was certain everything was going fine until I received nothing but the boot screen. tried Flashing all kinds of different roms to no avail. Cannot find a reliable download for a stock rom either it seems. They all take hours and hours to finish and usually never do,
My specs are:
Samsung Galaxy S6: Sprint
6.0.1 marshmallow? that should be the latest one.
If anything else is needed pleae let me know. I attempted to do everything the guide says and still someone messed it up. Cannot afford to lose this phone T_T
Just connect your device to PC in download mode and try "Rescue firmware" in Smart Switch.

I'm pretty sure it's because of that terrible screen protector.
Did you try factory reset?

Yes I tried through recovery to wipe the phone and I'm getting the efs error.
The screen protector it's not my fault you can blame niĺlkin ?
I got the same model G930FD and the same problem too, the phone collapse for itself and never able to boot into system again. I have tried everything, odin, smart switch and wipe data but nothing helps. The phone stucks at optimizing apps then infinite bootloop. My opinion is there is a problem about the latest firmware update

Entering Wireless download mode throws out an error and then shuts down the watch

JHi all,
I have a strange issue with entering the wireless download mode on two watches.
I had R732XXU2BOKK and I flashed R732XXU2EPK5 using Odin and Wireless download mode. No problems entering it.
The watches are used without any issues, but I've noticed that Gear app on the phone reports, when checking for the Gear firmware update, that the software has been modified and it stops looking for the software update.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I've tried resetting the watch to factory settings and afterwards the software update can be checked for the first time, as shown below, but on the second update it fails again with the same error as on the image above.
I was curious some more and I decided to perhaps try flashing the older ROM (R732XXU2BOKK) and see if that one would be blocked from checking for the update.
To my surprise, every time I would try entering the wireless download mode, both watches would shut down and I would need to hold the power button for more than 5 sec for them to start. Once they start everything is fine and dandy. I've noticed that while entering the download mode there is a really short text written before the watch shuts down, so I recorded it and here is the screenshot of the error message.
Does it mean anything to anyone?
I wouldn't mind rooting them and putting on TWRP, but without the download mode, I'm stuck a bit.
If I would install the Tizen SDK I could use SDB commands and ultimately flash stuff, am I right?
Hello have you found a solution to this also loaded the R732XXU2EPK5 .. I think there is something wrong with this firmware that killed our wireless download mode .. and I just payed to get the new EQC1 version .. nice ...
Can confirm these issues. Any solution so far? Is firmware upgrade via USB possible?

Did u get it to work? I have similar problem right now
Hi
I ran the same situation with my phone. A new phone that never work.
You have to download the Lenovo Rescue And Smart Assistant(LMSA). You have to put your imei to download the software. One that software is downloaded. Connect the phone to the port that is in one side of the phone and press vol up + vol down + power. If the program didnt recognizes appear a help to you connect.
In my case cannot recognizes in the first try, and in the second can.
Hope you can recover your phone.
Good Luck
