Anyone offer any help? Completely stumped, all explained below.

Heyy XDA,
Writing this post as I'm completely stumped on this one
Basically when I first got my S6 I rooted it and all, and everything was fine, I then unrooted it in order to update the OS to 5.1.1 which again all went fine.
This was about 4 days ago. Since this there hasn't been any issues what so ever, until this morning when the phone died. After charging it back up to 100% I switched it on and it just chilled in a bootloop.
From here I tried soft resetting the phone, but it stayed in the loop. I then tried clearing the cache, which again had no effect. I've also tried wiping the phone entirely and putting it back to factory which again did nothing to help and safemode didn't boot as it restarted as soon as the display lit up (baring in mind that the OS is completely stock and the phone is unrooted.)
After no avail with the phone, I decided to try rooting the phone, hoping that it would 'kick' it back to life as that's what Apple devices do... :good: , however after attempting to root the phone it just stayed on the samsung screen with the error 'recovery is not seandroid enforcing'.
Then I thought ... F*** ... and downloaded the 5.1.1 firmware for my current model (G920F, UK model, EE network) which I then tried to flash through ODIN v3.10.7, however I got the error of:
'<ID:0/006> Added!!

I've checked that this is the correct version, as well as checked the MD5 to ensure its not corrupted. Also I've tried restarting my PC and tried all 5 USB ports.
Anyone have any other ideas other than start moaning to Samsung and trick them into giving me a new phone??
Thanks in advance,
Dark :highfive:

If you don't have tripped knox, you definitively should bring it to warranty.
But I think, by installing root you tripped it already.
Now you have two options. The first is to bring it to warranty and 'pray' that they doen't discover the altered KNOX state.
The second is, you can search for a complete firmware with PIT file and everything.
I see that you understand how to flash phones, but I will again alert you an others that have the same problem and read that post: Be sure to select the PIT file which corresponds to your phone's size (32, 64, 128GB)
However, bring it first to warranty. If they doesn't want to repair, take second option which is PIT flashing. If that doesn't take efect either, you must bring it to repair, and unfortunately, pay to repair this phone.

Tried a different cable?

Sprint S6 "Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing" OI1

Hello guys,
I hope you are all doing well and i am here to see if you are able to help me. So, i tried to install TWRP and apparently i did it with the wrong version because now my phone is stuck in the Logo screen with the red message reading that recovery is not seandroid enforcing. I have been reading around and people say i should go into recovery mode and try to factory reset, the problem is that i can't go into recovery mode since pressing volumeup/home/power doesn't work, the only thing that works is me pressing volumedown/home/power which brings me into Download mode, so i looked around and found out that an easy solution for this is to download your stock rom and flash it with ODIN3. The problem here is that with OI1 update, Odin flash is not working properly so when i try to install my stock rom, which i am guessing is this one: G920PVPU2BOH1_G920PSPT2BOH1_G920PVPU2BOH1_HOME.tar Odin prompts me with this:

I am really desperate here as i don't know what to do anymore, i flashed V-Kernel-925P-BOFE-071915 and it installs successfully but this doesn't seem to help at all. Before i tried TWRP my phone was working fine, rooted with UniKernel_v8-0001-BOH1-920P-091215, what i was trying to do was install TWRP so i could install a custom ROM since Sprint one was full of security checks.
Now i can't even access my phone anymore which has me really concerned.
If anyone has any clue of what i should do please lend me a hand, i will certainly thank you for it.

Also, does anyone know how to turn off the phone?....no button combo seems to work besides vol-/home/power, and i have no idea how to turn it off from the seandroid logo screen.

You can get into recovery by using home+volume down +power. As soon as the screen blinks, quickly go to home+volume up +power. Also I have the tar stock recovery if that helps

It appears you are trying to flash an S6 rom on your S6 Edge.

You can flash an S6 Edge Rom on a S6 but you have to change the kernel before you boot.
I could be wrong but I think I got him all sorted out with this problem.

Sorry to bump but I have a similar problem, is there a fix?

SM-N915A , unable to boot, Odin failed, now bricked.

Hi All,
I was using the SM-N915A as normal...then i left it idle for a while and came back saw it kept resetting itself. I tried clear cache partition already didnt' work. It keeps looping on startup after the samsung logo. It got worst as time went on, it wont even load into recovery anymore, it just loads with the android icon saying it's updating then freezes and restarts....I read that I can manual recover using Odin. I used odin and a stock rom to fix it, but the rom failed now i am bricked. Please help.

Thanks, I managed to use the pit file and it got pass the brick page.
However, now the system goes into the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge loading screen and just stays there for a very long time and then restarts itself again....I pulled the battery out to manual shutdown (power button will not shut it down) and tried to go into recovery mode, it says loading recovery, but ends up restarting back to the Samsung loading screen indefinitely again. I would assume that's because the rom is dead at this point, and I would need to go to dl mode and flash a new stock rom back in ? What is my next step ?

You know what, try to clean power button. It may sticks. Pull battery and put small drop of rubbing alcohol. Then press couple times ( with out battery). Let dry for 10 min( you may use hair dryer on low power) . Put battery back and let us know.

can't you use samsung kies?

Hi to all. I was trying to recover some files with DrFone when it tried to root my phone. The rooting process failed and the phone bricked. If I try to power it on, it appears the writing "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again"
Obviously kies can't connect to the phone.
If I press pwr+vol_dn+home and then select "volume up" the phone goes in download mode but doesn't accept the reset of drfone, the download process freeze at half...
What can I do?
Thanks in advance!

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.

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.

Odin Pass with different firmwares?!?

As the title says i flashed a bricked g920a that only boots to download mode no recovery and i flashed three different firmware in odin and each time it PASS!!! How is this possible? I get no error each time it finishes and says pass but phone will not boot up!! Please help i don't know what else to do...

Can someone help me at least tell me if the problem is hardware or software i cannot find any answers and i have search and ask many times but no one sheds a little light into my problem please help someone in need of knowledge.

I think you must wipe your datas
Boot in recovery and select wipe data.
All datas and sd card will be deleted
EDIT: Oh your phone boots into download mode.. hum no ideas sorry

Thanks Dago for looking into it!! Yeah only download mode it's driving me crazy!!! Hope someone else can help at least by giving ideas

You need to make sure you are downloading the correct firmware for sm-g920a, and that it's the latest available. In Odin check the option to wipe NAND as well. If that doesn't bring it back then it's toast. It may take a while to boot (I've seen up to 20 minutes)

Try to download on your pc smartswitch connect your phone in your pc
Press on top the more button then the emergency recovery after that press device initialization
you gonna need the exact model of your phone and the serial
Good luck !!!!
