Hi all,
I got an old Galaxy S II Plus (GT-i9105p) from my uncle, stuck at the recovery menu. I cannot do much: I tried to wipe everything, clear the cache and so on but it does not change anything. I connected it to my laptop but Odin does not see it (tested samsung drivers and kies package). In any case, I don't have PDA and CSC to download the correct firmware. Any suggestion to get the phone back to work? Thanks.

odin only see your phone in download mode (vol up+home+power) and install a firmware of your country search for it.or try update the recovery and flash a custom rom

Thanks a lot!
I managed to enter into the download mode and odin now recognizes it. But which firmware should I pick? There are several with different PDA/CSC combination. I'm afraid to install a wrong one and block the phone completely...might that happen or I can simply try one?

Well, you could always go with the stock Samsung firmware, but it's a bit **** (and old). I prefer Cyanogenmod 12.1. Very stock Android with a couple of added nice features. Also, I don't think you need to change CSC, only PDA.
If you can get into the recovery, is it custom or factory recovery?
If it's custom, get a ROM image to your SD card and flash it.
You say Odin doesn't detect it? Try unplugging all the USB devices from your laptop(keyboards, mices, gamepads etc.). Doing this fixed the issue for me.
Good luck with your solution.

I have flashed multiple roms on the phone, still the same error, could you please suggest further steps?
The phone had been sent to get the simlock removed, once I got back I performed a wipe to remove all personal data. since that time it's not booting at all.
I can turn into download mode and flash anything, but cannot enter to recovery, I got the notification "ramdump mode (arm9 mode)"
Thx in advance for any help.

I was really dumb, and also did the exact same thing. In my case, I found my stock firmware and tried to flash using Odin (both 3.0.4 and 3.10.7) but ended up getting the NAND write start failure error. Is there anything I can do?
Please help!!!
Help!!!
I did the same thing also with SM-G920F. I deleted all partitions by accident.
I can't access recovery but I can access download mode.
I tried to flash stock rom with odin but odin does not recognise my phone.
I tried Samsung kies, I tried Samsung switch and nothing works.
Please help I'm desperate.

You need to fix the drivers to make your device detected by your pc
You may need to install samsung usb drivers or install them on another computer and try there

If you flashed a stock firmware successfully it will not boot into twrp, flashing a stock firmware will install stock recovery, which means the stock firmware did not flash properly. Have you tried smart switch at all? Are you sure you have the correct firmware to flash through odin?

Yes I am sorry I didn't explained that. Atfer I tried to install stock ROM it got stuck, then smart switch didn't recognize the device but I manage to do the emergency recovery thing with model number and s/n but same thing it got stuck on the same installing system update screen. After that I installed TWRP via Odin to try to push a custom ROM zip, I did that but when I tried to install it failed.

Download Samsung SmartSwitch and from the upper menu select Emergency Recovery Mode, put your phone in Download Mode and connect it to your computer, enter your model number and S/N when asked, and it will download and install latest firmware for your model.
Sorry, i haven't seen that you already tried that.

That means TWRP works and Fastboot/Download works. What is the actual Galaxy S6 model? Mine is G920F.
What custom ROM did you try?
What version of TWRP are you using? The wrong one can create issues.
Did you wipe the phone trough TWRP first? Twice? Including internal memory?

I've tried everything that i could find using google. Nothing has worked so far.
My friend has a S6 that was on 5.1.1 with root. It didnt received OTA updates so he tried to flash the new Nougat rom using ODIN. Alas the phone softbricked.
I can access download mode, but doesn't matter what firmware i try ODIN always end up failing. It's either sboot.bin, cm.bin so i think it has something to do with the bootloader? I'm not sure.
Tried to use SmartSwitch too but after it downloads the firmware it gives me an error and says to enter safe mode (????) so that's not working either.
Has anyone have an ideia of what to try next?
Thanks in advance.

Hold down all the buttens on the phone , it should eventually get to download mode , then flash twrp and then flash a rom and see if it boots that way

Already tried. Touchscreen on TWRP is not responsive.
Do you using latest Odin 3.12.7 and newest Samsung USB Drivers and latest right firmware for your model (the best way to get it is SamFirm)?
Softbricked S6, Only Download mode

Touchscreen is not working on TWRP. I'm downloading a Custom ROM and will try to install it trough ADB using TWRP commands. Shot in the dark.
Ended up not working.
Tried PhilZ recovery and I got to flash Global Elite rom but it doesn't boot. Is PhilZ compatible with Nougat roms? What else can I try with this recovery.

Download right newest firmware for your model, use SamFirm to get it. Then use Odin 3.12.7 with newest Samsung USB Drivers to full-flash stock ROM. Set also "Factory Reset" in Odin then START. If Odin shows you 'pass' then everything comes good.

It is OFF. See here => https://imgur.com/a/9bJnM I downloaded the right firmware for model. I'm sure of it now. Used samsung smartswitch to know my csc code using serial number. Still i'm facing the same issue. I'll try flashing it on another pc later today. Also, Should i change any odin setting while flashing ?? Like NAND erase or bootloader update etc

Not necessary, just "Factory Reset" and that's it. I don't know why Odin shows you "pass
" and your phone still shows "system status: custom". Looks like Odin didn't flashing correctly.

This was before i flashed using Odin. I tried flashing twrp first and then stock rom. Does this make any difference ?
P.S: I'm not able to access recovery mode, only ODIN is possible.

Hi guys,
got an s6 from a friend and trying to fix his problem. the phone only boots in dowbload mode. never rooted, and i tried flashing an official firmware through odin. Hidden.img doesn't flash so I extracted it blablabla flashed it the right way afterwards and passes but..no succes. I've done this before but this phone is a pain in the *ss! so I only get download mode. flashed stock recovery...no succes...

Hi,
Thanks for the help. Watched the video and follow his steps...
But now suddenly the hidden.img flashes on the phone.
So I get a green pass by Odin.
But phone doesn't start!
Tried "auto reboot" on and also off.
It doesn't fail anymore.
Deleted the hidden.img file and flashed it afterwards.
I can't get him alive. I'm gonna try other official firmwares with an older android version. I don't get it.... Why only download mode? Not even recovery opens. #notgivingup
should I try to root it with cf root and try to get a recovery mode on it? This phone needs to be wiped I guess.
try to get into recovery , and give general reset....
or try to install twrp -to install a custom rom...
does not make downgrade to android , it can break

Could it be that I super hard bricked this phone by flashing everything over and over? I always think, as long the phone boots in download mode you're pretty safe.
Can't flash twrp, stock recovery.....
No official firmware is booting the phone up. I used to have the hidden.img problem but nog every firmware flash completes but still doesn't boot the phone.
Is there an order in which I need to try to flash? Like, try firmware first, then a recovery,.... Or first a bootloader and modem, then a firmware...
Oh God help me!
Thanks for the replies I already got!

Wow that link is a whole lot of Chinese for me. but I'll look into it this weekend! Thanks for keeping up with me. My phone still boots in download so I'm a step ahead. Gonna try flashing stock firmware without auto-boot ticked in Odin, then reset and restart phone manually in download mode and try to flash right bootloader. Should I go for the latest firmware or more like a 6.0.1 firmware?
firmware 7. is to good , why use it 6. ?

Well because I flashed like a couple of firmwares... And heard about downgrading is bad but... Yeah this isn't really downgrading.... Im just trying to wake up my friends phone. I will try to flash the latest firmware and then the bootloader right after it.
Hi guys,
So still no luck. Flashed latest stock firmware, tried flashing bootloader right after the successful flash, no luck. Tried rooting with cf-root, which completes but no custom recovery... Not booting. So yeah I'm on that download mode again. Anyone has some solutions I could try? Could I try converting a custom Rom zip to a tar file and flash it with Odin?
Thanks!
Hey guys
So I think i'm facing a similar problem on my s6 sm-g920f. When I flashed a stock rom 7.0 it passed with no errors, but when it tried to restart it just stays at Samsung logo. I too can't access recovery mode, only download mode. And when I try to do the "removing battery" method using volume down and power button it turns off but turns on right after and gets stuck on Samsung logo.

At least your phone is booting to the logo. I literally flashed everything! Recoveries, stock roms, tried rooting, bootloaders, stock rom with and without hidden.img...pit files.... if you find something... Let me know!
Huh am facing similar situation one s6 was in softbrick I I had odin mode successful but it showed G9280d, custom binary system official, I got a similar stock recovery then The device did boot to home screen but system wasnot stable everything stated crashing I did reboot that's when it could only stop at Android s6 then I did cross check to get it labled g920f flashing ends with either CM erorr or bootloader, in miracle it stopped at hidden or CM or pit in odin am clueless.
Man try holding V- ,home button and power key it will work just try harder. I faced it just today though mine is still.
