Galaxy s6 stuck at boot? Unable to fix - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi xda members, im new in here and i was hoping for a bit of help
My phone is galaxy s6 SM-920T
I was reading on the net when the phone powered off and started restarting and restating again and stuck at book logo "powered by samsung".
I am not able to go into recovery mode but i can open the os download mode.
Tried many times with odin and no luck
I think due to the phone being full encrypted by me nothing can be done, is there any posibility? Thanks

The same here. I cant get into recovery. I had Terminator Rom installed. I can get into download mode but odin doesnt detect it. I eventoght the usb door was damadged so paid 60$ do replace it at samsung. But odin still doesnt not recognize it. Odin does recognize my Samsung Tablet 4.

Have you made sure you have the latest Samsung drivers installed on your computer?( http://developer.samsung.com/technical-doc/view.do?v=T000000117) And after that, try to see if Odin recognize it download mode, after you have confirmed you wanna flash new Rom ( volum up)

I've had cases where you had to put the phone into download mode THEN open Odin for it to be seen. Maybe try that.
With it in download mode and plugged up open devices and printers and scroll to bottom and see if it shows up. Would be called gadget_serial. Some computers take a while to load the drivers for it as well. You may want to click little popup menu on bottom right of desktop by the time and date and see if it shows it is loading drivers for it. It will not show up until the gadget serial drivers are installed.

Thanks for the help. Nothing worked. It doesnt not recognizes the S6 only my Galaxy Tab 4. Could it be that the usb door wasnt repaired proprely ? Windows doesnt even detect the phone no gadget_serial. Nothing.

Make sure that You're using USB 2.0 not 3.0. My Note 4 worked through usb3.0 without any problem. And S6 doesn't. And if Odin reflash won't fix it. Get pit file and flash it with it.

So it doesn't recognize it all all? Doesn't give you unable to read device error or anything?

First thing to try would be flashing stock firmware with Odin.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/rb8iduv2o9i1ece/G920TUVS3DOJC_G920TTMB3DOJC_TMB.zip?dl=0
I recommend Odin 3.10.6
https://www.dropbox.com/s/1dlmxtc0ic7u7ew/Odin3_v3.10.6.zip?dl=0

already done, with same results stuck at boot loop, tried to add a custom recovery which got denied by knox

Sounds like DRK may be damaged.
Take the stock OKC firmware and open the archive with 7-zip or winrar and extract the system.img and boot.img.
Download and unzip this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bsreazoonsw4gwv/tar-Tool_Odin3-v3.07_by_mkh.mourad.zip?dl=0
Copy/paste the system.img and boot.img into the software directory and run the batch file. It will spit out a system.tar.md5 and boot.tar.md5
Flash the system.tar.md5 with Odin as AP then flash the boot.tar.md5 as AP.
Report back

thank you gonna have to try tomorrow due to bad USB cables, will let you know thank you so much for your help

If all else fails, just boot your phone into download phone and install Samsung Kies and restore it using that.
You will need the model & serial number of your phone. It will restore the latest stock firmware on your phone for you..

You cant, I suggest using a friend or family member's serial number that has the same model phone.. the serial number is a way of identifying the correct carrier specific rom.

GT2 P5113 Won't boot

I have a Galaxy Tab 2 (P5113) that won't boot at all. I can get it into Download mode, but not recovery. I have tried using ODIN to flash a new recovery and a complete ROM and it usually errors out with and error of NAND write error, (Successful 0, Failed 1). I have tried multiple ROMs and a couple of recoveries to no avail. I have installed KIES and made sure it wasn't running in the back ground. I even tried to flash a PIT and it gets to a point that says there is no PIT partition. Any thoughts? All help would be appreciated. Thanks.

failed at nand write .
This can be for a number of reasons , the least serious being:
1. Are you sure your phone is not locked to a network ?
2. Did you use an original USB cable ?
3. Did you connect directly to USB port of computer and not a
usb hub ?
4. Try another USB port on your computer ?
1. This a wifi only version so no carrier.
2. It is the original cable
3. Connecting directly to the computer, but I am using the front ports on a tower. I will give the rear ports atry.
4. Used both front ports, but will give the rear ports a try.
Thanks for the thoughts.

Flash a stock firmware on your tab, your current binary says custom.. If it was a samsung rom it would have said samsung official..
Use ODIN to flash the firmware..

What do you mean? Bricked EFS? I have tried several times to do an Odin flash to stock. It says that it was successful and then turns off, only to come back on to the "firmware update encountered an error" I then have to flash a kernel to get it to even go into download mode. I am curious about something called omap flasher. I wonder if I can use that to get the thing working

Bricked device, any chance of fixing ?

Galaxy Tab 2 10.1
So what happened, my tablet started going very slow after the latest update so i decided to downgrade it. Because i was a bit stupid at that time i installed a software for a different device . After that, my tablet kept on restarting and after it finally went on the desktop, the desktop was re sized and the touchscreen wasn't working. I tried a lot of things to fix it. I went into download mode and i tried installing the correct software but somehow my tablet crashed completely. Now I'm stuck on the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. lease select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I have no access to recovery or download mode and Kies doesn't recognize my device. It says connecting for 5 minutes and then it says connection failed. If i try to switch off the tablet it keeps on switching back on until battery dies with the same message showing up. Can anyone help me fix the tablet and have a full software thats working properly?
It's Emmc bricked and it's very very difficult to fix and I don't know how to do it.
While your tablet is showing the Firmware upgrade screen you should be able to connect it to Odin and flash a stock firmware.
If pc doesn't recognize uninstall Kies and install just drivers for tablet and try again.
Google can help you find and download the stock firmware.

That is scary, happened to me once, hold the power button for 10+ seconds. When the tab turns black, immediately hold the vol down button, hold it at the right time, if it fails try again, took me 5 or 6 times before I entered recovery. I just went to my guts, frankly I do not know what happened. Do you still have warrently? Can you send it to the JTAG service?
Somehow I could not enter download mode when I used any combination, so I relied only on the recovery to fix stuff. I would go to adb.
Perhaps this is a different condition, sorry. I am a flash junkie things work if you have cwm or twrp
Like @PanchoPlanet said already: it's the BSOD ("BlackScreen of Death") - DownloadMode is running in background automatically on that screen, you should be able to use odin to flash a rom.

No I used the TWRP application. Never had an issue with it on my nexus devices. My tab 2 is sitting at tomy1986.nt's house waiting to be jtag'd but he doesnt have the stock image. I bought another tab 2 just like it but when it got to my house the person sold me a tab instead of a tab 2 as the ad said it was. So thus I am stuck.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2/help/stock-image-please-t3056704
My next option is having the device shipped back and send it to http://www.mobiletechvideos.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-2-10-1/ and pay $75 for them to fix it. I know the device isnt worth it but its the principal of the matter of me breaking something and not being able to fix it. Thus I am offering $20 to anyone that can get me the files I need.
@ChrisJobe idk the application... Any link?

If it's an app, i am sure uses real block name for flash.
On p51xx recovery sits on /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 - that's your broken block now.
You need to know, what's stored on /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 on your device...
After that you know what's needed (recovery too? Boot? Efs?)
I think you need to send it to a service center - i couldn't find anything for your tab: no recovery, no root... Simply nothing...
No root = no one can backup the block for you.

Yeah i got it flashed. Turned out that i used an old odin also you have to get a firmware which has the same csc or one that it compatible with your device. Info on samsung csc can be found on the net, look for multi csc codes if you wanna change to software from another carrier.

ODIN won't detect Galaxy S5 G906K [KT]
Hello All,
I've been having the same issues as people in this thread but have been unable to come up with a solution so far. I've tried to the whole battery trick which sometimes works with other Samsung devices but have been unable to solve this problem. It seems that ODIN just won't detect the 906K while it is on the recovery mode window. However if the phone is booted normally ODIN sees its fine.

So after an entire day of investigation and logging I've figured out that this was an issue related to a carrier update by Olleh (KT). For anyone who runs into the same problem on the SM-G906K I recommend KingRoot as a means of getting started for root. CWM/TWRP are also methods that I tested with success.
I hope this helps someone who has the same problem down the road.

Do you have your bootloader blocked, the new version of firmware enabled this option, you need to go to development options and enable the option of OEM, and that's it, you can flash whatever you want

No twrp options , my pc doesnt react when i plug in my phone , only download mode available and an SD Card.
Can i unbrick my phone or not ?
Hello,
Yes, you can flash your stock firmware through Odin 3.10 and fix your device. Look in the thread linked below for instructions, if the download link for your stock firmware is dead then try going to Sammobile.com and search for your stock firmware using your model number GT-I9300, download it and then follow the instructions below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/restore-to-stock-rom-galaxy-s3-i9300-t2187081
Good luck.
styno said:
Hi,
you can recover the GT-I9300 completely with Samsung's own Kies. It will ask for the serial number of the phone and will download all files needed and flash it for you.
You'll end up with a complete stock phone (but with latest modem )
Good luck!

Power the device off (pull the battery, then put the battery back in), then hold VOL DOWN + HOME KEY + POWER KEY
Once in download mode plug into your PC. Also make sure that you have the Samsung drivers installed. Check your device manager on your PC to make sure Windows is seeing the device.

"Custom Binary blocked by FRP lock" & Odin/PC won't recognize the device

"Custom Binary blocked by FRP lock" & Odin/PC won't recognize the device
Okay so,
My phone has been rooted for a year, I disabled OEM Unlock by accident, my antivirus was always telling me its unsecure with this feature on and to 'click here' to disable it.. I forgot how important this was to have enabled while rooted and ended disabled it and that night rebooting my device.
I get this error when trying to boot my device:
"Custom Binary blocked by FRP lock"
I have the original stock firmware, and Odin and want to reset the phone but when I plug this device in ( while in download mode ) > the windows PC doesn't recognize it (no new device sound or any change in devicemanager) and therefore odin isn't recognizing anything either - - I can grab my other 2nd-device and boot it into download mode, plug it into the same setup and boom > recognized and 'Ready!' Status in odin almost immediately so I don't think it's my PC or the cables -- I don't think 1st-device has usb debugging enabled either and I'm not sure how to proceed ...
any help is much appreciated ...
Try to use Smart Switch (from Samsung website), which also has the latest drivers, to recover your phone. (Google "how to recover with smart switch")
Alright,
Forgot to mention I tried Samsung Kies but cannot find the serial number on the device, I'll give Smart Switch a try this evening on my other PC and report back... hopefully that PC recognizes it, my tablet connects to this laptop but not the phone.. could USB debugging being disable cause this?
How close to bricked is this?
I'm such a fool!
Thanks for the feedback so far..
Hi boot tar flash odin frp lock of after stock rom flash
I went through this a few weeks back. I found my serial number (was a sticker originally on back of phone) and used smart switch to recover firmware. Then enabled developer options, oem unlock, flash TWRP thru ODIN etc etc.
So if I find the serial number, I save it .. good to know, thanks!

Can you elaborate just a bit?

Okay so,
My phone has been rooted for a year, I disabled OEM Unlock by accident, my antivirus was always telling me its unsecure with this feature on and to 'click here' to disable it.. I forgot how important this was to have enabled while rooted and ended disabled it and that night rebooting my device.
I get this error when trying to boot my device:
"Custom Binary blocked by FRP lock"
I have the original stock firmware, and Odin and want to reset the phone but when I plug this device in ( while in download mode ) > the windows PC doesn't recognize it (no new device sound or any change in devicemanager) and therefore odin isn't recognizing anything either - - I can grab my other 2nd-device and boot it into download mode, plug it into the same setup and boom > recognized and 'Ready!' Status in odin almost immediately so I don't think it's my PC or the cables -- I don't think 1st-device has usb debugging enabled either and I'm not sure how to proceed ...
any help is much appreciated ...

Hey man, im having the exact same issue with my S7 edge.
So I got my IMEI number, and with my number I went to imei. info / and I got my serial number through a warranty check through the site, you have to register to do it.
I used Smart Switch and I get an error when trying to use the emergency recovery "Model number cannot be initialized"
I'm also getting the error on my PC when trying to connect my device to odin saying that "USB device cannot recognize" and with that I cannot flash the stock firmware on the device.
So if you have gotten any solution to the FRP lock please let me know.
Serial number is engraved on back cover next to the imei number -,- @samuraichick0n about "Model number cannot be initialized" try to write it in diffrent forms eg. G935f or SM-G935f uppercase or lowercase.

PC doesnt want to recognize my device, so Odin doesn't pick it up.
Try it with other usb cable. What is given together with the charger is incongruent, it happened to me, the same problem. (galaxy s6, s7)
And you need the newest odin. Excuse me my crappy English.

Yes, I've tried a different PC - "USB Device Malfunctioned /Device cannot be recognized"
Also a PSA: Smart Switch removed the recovery option for phones, you are ONLY able to get a recovery with the code from a previous backup.

Hello, after exhausting all options I had to take the device to Samsung themselves - eventually they had to replace the motherboard on the phone to fix it.
So check if your phone is under warranty and take it in.
I fixed this when I first rooted by flashing the stock bootloader, firmware etc everything through odin
Thanks
