Have you attempted to use Odin to return to stock?

Exact same thing happened to me! cost me too much to fix it.
I had to mail out mt s3 for a jtag service.
EZ-unlock HARD-BRICKS phones on 4.3 and up. This is happening to way too many people! there should be a way to stop this.
One can brick their phone if ignores the warning, but there is NO WARNING for this app.
EZ-Unlock HARD-BRICKS your phone. DO NOT USE IT if you're on 4.3 and up.

If you read on the forums prior to using the app it wouldn't happen. The problem is too many people just do things without reading first
Nexus 6 via Pure Nexus
here's how I got out of ez unlocker
I've done the exact same thing. luckly I was able to get back boot. Here's how.
I knew stock firmware should fix things. so in search of firmware i ended up here then i looked at the 1st comment. downloaded it and it worked.

You hard bricked it.
You can either find someone to jtag an image back to your phone or use a hard brick repair guide. If you go the jtag route consider getting it downgraded to 4.1.2 so you can have an unlocked bootloader.

Come on guys, grab the url from logcat please.
just did a google search but I only find this and this and another site but no one seems to know what's been fixed

Does it help?
EDIT: HERE YOU GO http://android.clients.google.com/packages/passion/signed-passion-FRF91-from-FRF85B.db99fdf1.zip
Yea I just got it, straight from FRF83
Any idea what changes this build contains?
Everytime i receiv an update OTA when i reboot i get an error in the downloaded file, can it be bec i have the bootloader unlocked?
it says ts not signed or smntg
And sorry to crosspost, but does recovery-root still work on FRF91?
Unlocking bootloader will not cause update to fail. If you have custom recovery and/or custom ROM, it will.
My guess would be that it's probably a fix to the exploit which allows people to root without unlocking the bootloader.

If you have changed your recovery from stock, then the OTA won't install.

Safe to apply to AT&T phones?

All updates from EPE54B and up are safe as far as I know. If not, it wouldn't flash. The updates are the same for both now days.

You could always just fastboot boot the stock recovery and flash it so that you don't have to reflash the recovery again.
I got this sensation from ebay as "New", and i tried updating the firmware, but when I unlocked it, it would say loading, and then freeze for like 15 seconds and then reboot. This is pissing me off, and I turned it off, held the power and vol down button and selected factory reset, and it's still doing the same thing. Is there any way to fix this? Any help would be appreciated!

I tried taking out my sim card and then booting it, and to my surprise, it actually booted for some reason. (Bad sim card maybe?) I'm going to try to update it via software update on HTC and then putting in my sim card after it's done updating.

Hi everyone !
Here I am in a really bad situation...
I bought a second hand phone with a rom issu and the guy who had it told me he ahd no time to waste trying to make it work again, I decided to buy it thinking that nothing could resist a factory reset via ADB.
But, and if I'm here today, it's because I'm in a such a situation, I need some help, and hope you guys can find a solution or at least some leads.
when I got it:
- model 16 GB D821
- The battery was not correctly attached in the phone (i did open it and put it back how it should be and seems to work)
- it is root, bootloader unlock, with Teamwin recovery version 2.6.3.2
- bootloader version HHZ11D
I can launch the teamwin recovery, it's asking for a password when it's starts, i don't know whay BUT I did a data format seeing that some people had some problem with it and did that to fix it
In Teamwin I got 0mb of storage and no OS installed, again it could be fixable via ADB
Now the best !
I can't flash anything on the phone. I can connect to it, it's well detected, I can control it (via ADB or Fastboot) and I can even had a temporary recovery with the nexus toolkit. but:
-Impossible to flash the bootloader, I do everything right, there is not "error" but at the end nothing changes, I'm back with the HHZ11D version and not the latest on I'm trying to get the HHZ11Z.
-Impossible to flash the recovery, same as the bootloader, version teamwin 2.6.3.2.
-impossible to flash a rom, and I don't have one anyway....
Here we are, I think I tried everything, but any clue would be appreciated. I hope I can fix this...
Thanks for your help.
And finally a picture of my fastboot -w when I do one, does it seem normal to you ?

Try in fastboot, fastboot oem lock. Then reboot and see if the bootloader is locked. I'm guessing it isn't and your emmc is bad.

No, you're hosed. Rma would be the option but not in your case. You're not going to be able to flash anything.

My wife has a Samsung Galaxy S6 from Vodafone UK, and it keeps telling her she has an update (see attached photo), however, everytime she tries to run it, it reboots into (what I assume is) recovery, tries to install the update then it comes up with an exclamation mark in a yellow triangle with an Android with X's for eyes. It then reboots without installing the update?
The phone is 100% stock, never had any root or any modifications.
Any ideas why this update is failing?
Cheers

Go to recovery and do wipe cache then update. If it does not work go again to recovery and do full reset then update. If it does not work flash this latest UK Vodafone 5.1.1 ROM via odin.

Thanks for the reply, the cache wipe didn't work. Don't really want to do a full wipe if I can help it. Will flashing that update via Odin do a full wipe?
May just take it to Vodafone and get them to sort it out.
Have you connected it up to a PC with smart switch and tried updating it that way? Failing that I'd take it into a samsung shop, they can flash / update it for you in about 20 minutes.

No, I looked at Smart Switch, and it didn't say anything about updating software, only about moving from another phone to Samsung?
We have no Samsung shops around here, would VodaFone shop do?

Yeah it should have said there was an update..... no Vodafone wont have the ability to flash it for you, if there are no Samsung shops near you could try flashing yourself via odin, it's a pretty straight forward process but if it goes wrong it *can* brick your phone and it'll have to go to Samsung anyway

Does the odin method wipe the phone?
It shouldn't but I'd make a backup anyway, to be on the safe side.

How? (Sorry, Im currently an LG G4 user, not sure about all the Samsung stuff)
Smart switch will backup your stuff! If you need help flashing with odin there's a stock firmware sticky that guides you through everything you need to know. Or ask here I'll help.
Greetings, this might be a better place to post this. Up till now my roots have been ok and bootloader and modems are ok. But recently (yesterday) i wanted to use Xtresolite Rom again and wanted to update to newest recommend BL and Modem, however im getting a fail. I already tried a new computer so its not that. I never had this issue before and its a bit concerning.
The phone works ok, but i can no longer update the BL and Modem on it.... any ideas on how to get around this ? Reset it or something like that ? I have read that a possible complete FORMAT might fix it, but does that mean it removes everything on the phone including SDcard storage files or just the mainphone files ? Here is a screenshot of what i get in Odin, would really appreciate some help.

If you previously firmware (OI9 and new) had it, you can return to the boot loader only to release OI9.
Older bootloader cause an error.
