I flashed a bootloader and modem from one of the roms here and after that my S6 will no longer get past the Samsung Galaxy S6 screen, it just repeats from there. I can't get into recovery mode, only download mode.
I tried flashing stock firmware from sammobile but it still doesn't work, won't get past sboot.bin before failing.
HELP
I wouldn't worry too much. I brick my phone all the time Which rom was loaded. What are you trying to do?

Try THIS firmware, it will work;
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/66009/G920FXXU3DPBG_G920FOXE3DPAD_SER/
Delete everything from .tar file except system.img and boot.img(You can also leave sboot.bin if it works) and reflash Your phone. If that doesn't work try reflashing with .pit file. Aaand if it still doesn't work. Boot into recovery->factory reset->odin reflash of system.img+boot.img with .pit file.
Small guide:
1. Boot into recovery mode.
1a. Do a factory reset
2. Reflash the stock rom using only system.img and boot.img files(optionally sboot.bin too).
3. If still nothing works. Google "pit file g920f" and download it.
4. Flash like in step 3 but including .pit file.
If You have any other questions. I would appreciate a odin flash log .

as I've said, I can't go into recovery mode
Then ignore step 1 and 1a. Or You could try and boot into odin mode. And where You have options to reboot or go into downloading mode. Just press the vol down to reboot and immediately hold vol down+home+power and it should boot too.
Try going into recovery mode again then wait at least 3 to 5 minutes after the droid falls over. That should take you to stock recovery mode. From there you can do a factory reset.

If you're like me, you don't like having to pull your battery out to reboot your phone. When having problems with Odin I hate having to pull my battery out to simply reboot it when commands like "adb reboot" have spoiled me.
Here is a blank .tar file (just made in notepad) for Odin. Put it in the PDA slot and make sure Auto Reboot is checked. Click Start and Odin will reboot your Samsung device into Android. No wiping or writing.

came in handy - for a zero byte file. lol
lazy ppl ftw!
great!! thanks a lot!! how can i create a file like this that reboots the device in recovery mode? can you do that?
To flash it in recovery you will first have to boot in recovery... So this means nothing lol... Use quickboot app...

Sorry for the really late response. I too am trying to figure out how to make Odin tell the phone to boot straight into recovery. One method I found does work. Find the CF-Autoroot package for your phone (if it exists), pull the cache.img out, put that cache.img into an odin package (find a tutorial on how to do that elsewhere), then flash and it will boot straight into recovery.
For example. I made a a custom odin package for my Galaxy Note 2 using a TWRP.img and the cache.img from the CF-Autoroot package. Flashed it in Odin and it installed TWRP and booted straight into recovery! This way the recovery-from-boot.p file can be deleted in recovery before it reinstalls the stock recovery.
can you help me, booting with odin on sgs1 to get into recovery mode. very importent

I don't think I can help you out. CF-Root files don't contain the trick to boot straight into recovery. At least this is what I think, I don't have a phone that can use CF-Root to test it on. Picking apart CF-AutoRoot is what helped me. The Galaxy S 1 does not have CF-AutoRoot since that phone is set up differently than newer Samsung devices.
Great idea mate, power button broken in my sgs i9000 and if it turns off i can only access download mode.. So via Odin and your file i managed to power it on fast and simple.. Thx again..
My phone is stuck in recovery mode because the home button is broken, but when I connect my phone to pc, Odin can detect my phone. Can I use Odin to reboot my phone when it's in recovery model instead of download mode? Thank you.
^^ same question?
Can Odin just reboot?

If I understand correctly this is a blank (0 byte) file which does nothing but after flashing is completed because autoreboot is checked the phone will reboot automatically. Genius indeed!

Worked like a charm... just to add ... in newer ODIN instead of PDA you'd see AP. Also in Options remember to uncheck "F. Reset Time" and keep "Auto Reboot" on as mentioned above.
P.S: I didn't check what happens if F. Reset Time is on. Just posted what worked for me.
Note:
This is a exactly a tool for those whose "power button not working" to get out of any of ODIN or recovery modes when required. Usually it is decrease volume button + power/side key button for more than 7 secs to reboot and come out of odin mode.
Thanks XDA.
Ok, so I'm stuck. I can boot into download mode, but am unable to get into recovery mode. Had a system crash, and reimaged before system backup by mistake. So now just trying to resurrect this tablet... I've tried both stock firmware and rooted firmware through ODIN - it passes the flashing process, but on reboot just is stuck on the logo screen. This is a n8013 wifi only Note 10.1... I've also tried installing CWM (both highonandroid and darkman versions) to no avail. If I keep pressing up and power at boot and hold them down it will go black and boot a second time, but releasing power either before or after does not get me into recovery. I know dangerous but considering a PIT repartition at this point. Anyone gone through this or have any ideas at this point? Here's the two images I've tried - both pass but do not boot past the logo.
N8013UEALH2_XARALH2 Cellular South Android 4.04 - stock firmware I believe, not working though (just contains a single tar.md5 file)
UEALH2_rooted system - this contains a boot.img, cache.img, hidden.img, recovery.img, and system.img in the archive
Anyone have any thoughts?
I've the same Problem with my n8000.
Today I called Samsung Support and he said that it is possible to repartition, but he can't say how to do it...
Please help anyone!!!

I had a similar issue. If you are able to boot the device properly at least, try installing "Goo Manager" and then use the option there to reboot into recovery.
If not though, I don't have any other idea..
Pit file is the only way to repartition BUT you need to make sure it is the right pit file and isn't corrupt... If it is your tablet will be a real brick...
in S3 flashing the stock recovery solved the problem, give it a try
Couldn't hurt, you should find a link in here - http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...t-galaxy-note-10-1-easiest-methodcwmmethod-2/
Thanks go to Zedomax for this... I believe it is the ODIN flashable tar file...
Just remember though that if the partition table is fubar then only the pit file will work...
Hi there!
I wanted to install a new recovery form this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663834
The phone has a stock ROM and stock recovery. I can easily go to download mode, boot it even after Odin fails to flash.
The thing is when I flash the recovery, Odin gets stuck at "Getting PIT file for mapping" or something like that and aborts flashing. No bars at phone screen while flashing (it's in the downloading mode), just nothing.
I tried flashing on different computer, different usb port/cable, different recovery and the result is still the same. Sometimes I recieve "Cannot open the COM port." error.
What can I do?
Would you flash custom recovery and root your phone?
First of all upgrade Odin version.
Which extension have cwm recovery file?
Uncheck "Re-Partition" box before the flashing.
Yea, i would to flash some ROM and root my phone
Odin 3.12.3
Tried also with older verisons
File ext: .tar.md5
everything is unchecked during the process
Do you use original samsung cable?
Restart the pc and the device. Try again to flash. If fails just put stock pit file in PIT section, tick Re-Partitions and flash it with recovery in PDA section.
Most of this issue fixes are "I solved it by plugging the cord into another port and letting windows rediscover the phone".
I used original samsung cable, didnt work.
Also adb doesnt see the device when its in downloading mode but I think thats normal.
Where can I get the stock PIT file and is it more risky when i use it?
I'll try with another port and will let know
Ive found some thread here with .pit file:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428753
is it the pit file that i should use?

Yes, it is. Choose the right version: i9105P (NFC) - i9105 (no-NFC)
Just before flashing I have a question.
Does the flashing now with .pit file will re-create every partition on the phone causing ALL data to be erased? It would be a problem if after repartitioning odin would be still unable to flash the recovery, wouldn't it?

Pit erases all your partition and removes all datas. Recovery hasn't problem with stock pit file.
Went like a charm without using PIT file (unchecked Re-Partition). It went by using different USB Port and I don't know, maybe the fact that I put the pit file also with the recovery image in the same folder.
Damn, this Odin-issue can be very annoying, I tried like over ten times and nothing and now it just went all straight forward for the first time. Thanks for replying!

The zip you downloaded from sammobile can only be used with Odin. You can't flash that in recovery. Download Odin on your pc and be sure to enable usb debugging in settings. Move the zip from sammobile to your pc and extract the zip. You should have one file that extracts from the zip. Boot your phone into download mode and plug it into your computer, open Odin and you should see a connected device. In the AP slot of Odin open the file from the zip and let it confirm your md5. After it verifies the md5, open options and turn off auto reboot. Turn on bootloader update and F Reset time. Flash the file and once it completes hold the download mode buttons until the screen turns black. Now you MUST BOOT into recovery TWICE. After the two recovery boots it should boot back to stock.
DUH. I am on pain meds, and was not even thinking that all files from Sammobile are for Odin. Thanks very much Metabolic, and thanks for your hard work as well

EFS Partition
Hi I have a Tmobile note 5 too can you link me your efs partition or give me advice i dont have imei.

Hello everyone,
I'm in a loop, I've been trying to solve it for five days, any help will be apreciate.
I have an SM-g930F in boot loop and I need to save the data that I have on it.
I'm trying to install TWRP through Odin, but when I try to do it, the Blocked by FAP message appears. (On the S7 screen)
I don't have access to developer options, because the phone is in a boot loop, I can only enter in Download Mode (Odin Mode), Recovery doesn't work either.
All this happened after uninstalling the secure folder, the phone freeze and it didn't start up correctly again, it stayed in a boot loop trying to start up in recovery. (#fail to open recovery_cause)
I tried to flash the latest firmware with ODIN but it gave me FAIL with hidden.img
After that, the mobile only started in Emergency recovery and in Download Mode (Odin Mode). Also after this, the phone was discharged and the battery stopped charging. I can only use it if it is connected to the wall or via USB.
At this moment I have found the solution to the FAIL of the hidden.img in firmware (it seems to be the .lz4 format) but I am afraid of flashing in Odin without having a battery.
I have also tried with a wireless charger and it still does not charge.
Could I install the firmware via USB while charging with the wireless charger? Or is it very risky?
My idea was to restore the recovery with TWRP through Odin, to be able to charge the battery and then install all the firmware again with Odin, but as I have mentioned the problem is that in the development options I do not have the OEM enabled (Also I have looked for how to enable it through ADB, but I think it is not possible because the device needs to be running).
Another possibility, although it doesn't make me very happy, would be to change the battery, and try to install the firmware in Odin. (But sometimes the new ones also come with little charge)
Finally there is the possibility to use Smart Switch PC to restore it to factory, but that would erase all the data.
Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
I think the problem with the hidden.img is that some files are corrupted.
Use the following tool do Download the firmware straight from Samsung Servers :
Releases · zacharee/SamloaderKotlin
Contribute to zacharee/SamloaderKotlin development by creating an account on GitHub.
github.com
Than go to download mode and let the phone plugged. Flash the files with odin.
Try at first with the home csc and see if you can boot to safe your data.
If not you have to use normal csc which will erase your data and bring the phone to factory state. Unfortunately i see no other solution for you.
Thats why you should always do a backup of your files. I had to learn it the hard way too.
USB power should be enough to run and flash the firmware through odin. Just dont disconnect the phone while flashing.
Edit: make sure to use always the latest version of odin which is if remember correctly 13.14.1:
Samsung Odin - Root Android download page for one click root
Samsung odin download - Root android and oneclickroot for flash / install custom ROM with one click root method
odindownload.com
Thank you very much for your answer.
Is it really safe to do the flashing without any battery? I have always read somewhere that you have to have a minimum of 50%. I'm afraid that later I won't be able to flash again.
On the other hand, I had an idea, but I don't know if it's possible or if it's safe to do it. Could I just install the straight firmware recovery.img from Samsung Servers? That is, extract the recovery.img from AP and then flash only the recovery.img in Odin on AP? (I don't know if it could be a problem to flash a stock recovery from another different stock firmware)
In recovery mode the phone should charge and I imagine that installing recovery.img will be faster in Odin.
Thanks again

It is risky but unless you diconnect the phone during odin flash it should not turn off normally.
You need a .tar file to install a recovery through odin.
All right.
But from what I've read it would be possible to unzip the AP (and in this case remove the rest of the files leaving only the recovery.img), then compress again with 7zip and flash with Odin. It is right?
Although what scares me the most is that there is a problem flashing only the recovery.img of two different firmwares, could that create a conflict?
Thank you very much.

I did not try it and cant tell you if it will work. Guess you have too try and see what happens.
All right, I'll see what i do.
Thank you very much.
Well, here's the update.
I managed to solve it, the mobile already works.
I share the solution in case someone else can use it as a reference.
It has worked for me, that does not mean that it will work for you, because using Odin with low battery is risky.
The solution was reinstall the recovery.img that I had previously extracted from the stock firmware.
After that, the device has restarted and automatically started charging the battery, which was effectively completely discharged.
All the problem came for a failure in the recovery.
So, installing the recovery.img needs 4 seconds, so although it is risky to flash with zero battery, it is very fast and so it is a good solution.
After the phone updated Android (also the applications) started keeping all the applications and data, which was what I wanted.
In brief:
Download the official firmware from Samsung of your device, from Sammobile, Frija, etc. (Make sure it is the exact version of your phone)
Unzip the AP with Winrar
Open the folder and copy recovery.img
Compress the recovery.img file in .tar format with the 7-Zip compressor
Download the latest version of Odin.
Connect the phone via USB and put it in Odin mode. Make sure the phone is stable and can last for a long time with the USB cable.
Flash recovery.tar in the AP tab
It only takes 4 seconds.
That's all, the phone recharges the battery in recovery mode. When turned on, it updates and restarts itself.
In my case it was not necessary to do anything else, the phone worked fine. You can also (of course after charging the battery) flash all firmware (or install TWRP) in Odin as usual.
That's all, thanks for your help aarem, Regards.
