S6 won't go past the warning screen in download mode - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Basically, I flashed the wrong TWRP recovery onto my S6 which is running on the latest on android 6.0.1 and now its stuck in a bootloop. So I tried to go into download mode to flash its stock firmware using odin. But the problem is that when I go into download mode, I'm stuck on the warning screen because when I press my volume buttons nothing happens so I can't get to the actual download screen. I know that its nothing to do with the hardware because I've checked up on that already and I'm just wondering if anyone knows the solution to this issue.
Please help, it would be very much appreciated :crying:

Can you share a quick snap how your warning screen looks like? I suspect since your recovery is broken, it is directly going to download mode instead of asking for your confirmation (Volume up).

What happens when you press Volume Down (-) key? Does it try to restart? So, could it be a faulty volume up key?

[Q] I need help with my OnePlus after double root (i assume)

I did flash the lollipop alpha. Realizing that there's nothing much I can do I decided to go back for CM11S. During the process I re root the phone try to flash the CM11S. And after finished flashing the phone won't boot up (even with any combination of buttons). My computer didn't pick up the phone as well. Does this mean that my One+ is bricked? Is there any solution?
Please help
My OnePlus screen never turn on after this happen to me. All the response from the phone was vibrates. Vol up/ down + power, I tried everything, but only vibrate and nothing happen after that.
If there's any help I would appreciate!!!!
Have you tried this? https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...-solution-to-all-kinds-of-soft-bricks.142870/
Also, when you try to boot into fastboot, it does vibrate, right? Your computer should acknowledge the device is connected if that's the case.

I have the same exact problem. My computer is acknowledged that the phone is being connected, it makes a classic windows sound of connected device into USB. But visual notification is not there as well as there is no new device displayed in the system. This just happens when I try to fastboot (power on + up button).

You should still be able to push to the phone even if nothing is on the screen.
Even if it doesnt pick up the device on the computer or in cmd?

I hard bricked my opo. Please help!!

Apparently when i was flashing rom, i think i had hard bricked my opo. I couldnt even boot into anything (even fastboot,recovery). When i turn it on, I couldnt see anything on the screen , there was a vibration and that's all. My PC couldnt even detect adb. I tried the method below but unfortunately, the thin cable that is connected to my vol buttons, i accidentally broke it so i couldnt use my vol buttons. I'm only left with my power button. I tried reconnecting the thin cable by holding it as close as possible to the part where i broke it, and pressing the vol up + power button at the same time but my PC couldnt detect any input. Is there any way for me or should i say goodbye to my beloved opo?? :crying::crying:

Without your volume buttons you're pretty screwed. But you could try this:

The problem is i cant push the up vol button, unless there's a simulator or external device that could stimulate the vol buttons. I tried using earphones with vol buttons but it didnt work.

Did you actually read that link? It doesn't require you to be in fastboot mode.

Yup i read it. It doesnt require me to be in fastboot mode but it says to press Volume UP + Power which i assume would trigger the qualcomm drivers or something like that during hard bricked.
Anyone?? Can i simply solder the cable, will it work??
I'm in desperate need of some help. I tried to root my OPO after successfully managing to recover it to CM11 and install TWRP. However, the SuperSU installation stalled the phone, so I couldn't be bothered waiting and hard shut down the phone by holding the power button. And now when I try and use this tool again I get this. The MD5 log says the phone is "8974_msimage.mbn: OK
" , but the phone can't even boot into fastboot, recovery and there aren't even any vibrations at all, it's just dead.

stuck with the warning triangle say an error has occurred while updating the device software. use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software.
Try these steps.
1. Press and hold both volume down + power buttons at the same time until the phone LCD shuts off.
2. Once LCD powers down press and hold volume down + home button + power button to get to download mode.
3. Reflash stock 5.1.1 ROM via odin.
4. If it does no work bring your S6 back to Samsung for warranty repair.

Honor 6X almost bricked

Hello,
First: i'm sorry if i don't speak perfectly english but I hope someone could help me.
I got a one and a half years old Honor 6X BLN-L21 and it is almost bricked.
A year ago I tried to unlock the bootloader, to root my phone. I did a mistake which made me want to get back to normal rom by removing TWRP.
Since this moment, I can't update my phone or relock bootloader because:
- Every reboot there is a "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted" message
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- I can't lock my bootloader because I can't access bootloader, because it needs a reboot and I get this message every reboot
- I can't update my phone for the same reason
- I can't access to recovery because it reboots everytime I turn off my phone one second later so it makes impossible to access recovery with volume buttons + power button
So I can't put a new rom with sdcard dload folder.
I can access my phone by waiting for it to get discharged, and then powering it with usb cable, and it boots normally.
Please help me, I really want to move to android Oreo.
Thanks
You should be able to boot to fastboot.
Connect phone to pc, press power key and once its in the process of shutdown, keep pressing the volume down key.

Power button to the shutdown, and then volume down, but it doesn't have the time because whatever i do, it restarts automatically as fast as possible
EDIT: I didn't understood why, but fastboot worked suddenly. I relocked my bootloader but I can't update my phone. Stuck in EMUI 5.1 because when I update eRecovery says my data partition is highly damaged and need to format. I did 2 formats but the eRecovery still blocks update with the same message.

Well, I'm not sure I want to open my phone just to update it. I want to update it, but I mean, isn't it risky to open ?
Why did you relock the boot loader tho. Unlock it and then follow Shashanks Guide. Works perfectly.

Question Am I bricked or is there some pixie magic i can do with sdcard? i was right at the end gate i tripped on a banana peel

you cannot boot into download mode anymore?
I'm bricked too but it's very much worse than that I have completely black screen. But phone still responds to the Computer in device manager. Comes up with MediaTek driver. I have libusb installed. Not sure what to do. I have the A125U model.

Yr phone should (always) be able to enter download mode.
Just press power + vol down with USB (connected to PC) and turn of, then power + vol up untill download mode starts.
As said, it'll always start download mode.
There you can just flash repair Firmware in ODIN and get it back to "pre"normal working state.

No download mode. It's currupt or something. Stays in vcom no matter what I flash successfully. Verified boot is enabled. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've always flashed my mediatek devices successfully eventually but they never actually flash if you know what I mean. Flashing the preloader doesn't give me download mode back.
