Hey experts so i have the S6 gm-920F i updated OTA and now the phone doesnt recognize the fingerprint and forgot the password so i install TWRP 3 via odin booted the recovery and transferred my data successfully then I made a factory reset to delete the passcode to be able to use the phone after making the reset and pressing reboot system it gets stuck in the recovery the system doesn't reboot so i tried hard rebooting the phone is stuck on black screen that says samsung galaxy s6 and restarts restarts restarts (bootloop) i tried reflash the 6.0.1 bootloader no luck then flash 5.1 bootloader flashed philz recovery then 6.0.1 bootloader still nothing! Did i damage something serious ? does a fresh firmware install through odin bring my phone back to life ? Thanks in advance
Please try a fresh install of Firmware. Install MM bootloader and modem first with TWRP MM compatible recovery and download an extra lite MM rom to see if your phone will come back to life, (using extra lite package is less of a download than a stock 2gb download)
TWRP is what gave me the problem once i enter i can exit from there ! i got the stock firmware tried to flash using odin then get fail! please can you give a noob some simple instructions with links ?
Hi mate, Try flashing through ODIN a TAR image for your phone version. You can find a TAR on a website such as sammobile. Once you have download the tar put your phone into download mode by pressing and holding Volume Down, Home and Power keys at the same time. Start ODIN and connect the phone to your computer, click AP and browse and find the TAR file you downloaded. Then click start and it should flash back stock firmware for your phone.

Another Solution i have is to try Samsung Smart switch software. That might solve your problem, I have used it before when I was stuck .

I can't promise that you haven't, however it is extremely hard to hard brick a phone these days. There are many ways to try and restore it to previous condition not all of which I am familiar with, if this doesn't solve your problem keep scouring XDA for an answer, undoutably a more skilled dev will be able to help you

I just got a new Verizon S3 about a week ago and a few days ago I followed the instructions in the Original development section to install the CM10 nighties. Everything was working great but just a little bit ago I tried to upgrade to the newest build through the clockworkmod rom manager that was installed with cm10 but now when I restart the phone just constantly boot loops. It shows the samsung screen followed by samsung screen (but with booting recovery at the top) and finally the android dude for a few secs then just repeats! How do I fix my phone! Or did I F**K myself good?

Can you get into recovery (volume up + home + power) to try flashing a previous rom download or restore a backup? If that doesn't work, you'll probably need to Odin your way back to stock or stock.root66 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709)

Ok I was able to get into recovery. I tried restoring a backup but that did not help I am now going to try and re install the downloaded rom. I might just odin back to stock I don't know if my nerves can handle the stress of this mod thing.
I tried installing from downloaded rom and that did not work ether. I down loaded the odin and the Samsung drivers but the drivers don't seem to be installing right. The phone shows up under devices and printers but has an ! on it. I tried telling it to update the driver by had but I got this error:
Code:
Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it
SAMSUNG Mobile MTP DEVICE
This device cannot start (Code 10)
I have the device booted in to recovery ClockworkMod Recovery because thats the only place I can get it with out it continually restarting. (I thought that the Recovery I had was called K-exec or somthing? It looks the same I think though so I am not sure. Is that what broke my system did I break somthing my flashing ClockWorkMod recovery over K-exec? Can I fix that from clockWorkMod Recovery. HELP

I don't think I can get into download mode(If thats the thing with the yellow triangle) you do that with (vol up+power+home) right. Then I press that combo I go to ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.4.8. I think I have tried most all the options from there.

From the sounds of it you should have never attempted any of this, download mode is volume down + home + power.

Ok never mind download mod is down arrow. I read the web page wrong. Whats more is I was able to install drivers once I entered download mode so it looks like I might be alright. I am downloding stock rom now and will update you all soon. Thanks for your help and patience with my n00bness
actually download mode is hold volume down +home (button on the front in center) + power till the screen shows download mode

Probably true or at least I should have done my homework first.
we all learn somewhere. funny how thought of a brick gets people researching more than they normally would, right? lol, all been there
Upgrade your recovery from cwm touch to cwm 6.whatever.it.is. Cwm touch is buggy. I don't know how exactly you do that if it's not booting to the rom but maybe this can help point you down the right path.

Downside of all the one click this and one click that. You should be required to root at least once using odin and adb before having access to the one click tools as you may end up needing those down the road.

If you really don't wanna take the risk you can just delete it all with Titanium Backup. But hey, if you really want to, go right ahead. Just do a little more research before you jump in. We've all been there, though, so don't feel stupid.

Don't mess with a new phone if you don't know exactly what you are doing.
Now your phone is soft-bricked.
Download this (FOR GT-I8260) or this (FOR GT-I8262) stock firmware and use ODIN to flash it to your phone, as described in this post (thanks to Omkar$).
I am not responsible if you hard brick your phone.
Soft-bricking was your mistake, and there is no reason to be mad at us.

when i press vol down+home+power button it says factory mode.....how to go to download mode then????
I recommend using Samsung Kies for reverting to stock ROM. Just boot in download mode and select Forward update and initialization

My S3 Neo I9300I ran stock 4.4.4 KitKat with TWRP 2.7.1 and I tried to install a custom Lollipop rom which did not work so I had to reflash the stock firmware.
After reflashing the firmware with Odin, everything was fine except that the Wifi option was greyed out and unresponsive so I coudn't connect to Wifi. I tried many of the options specified on threads related to this particular issue but to no avail.
Second time I tried to reflash the firmware with Odin, Odin showed "PASS" after which I unplugged the phone and found out that it didn't boot at all, even into Download Mode. No key combos etc worked.
After some Googling, I found out that writing a debrick file to an SD card and inserting it into the phone could get the phone into a bootloop while booting normally and into Download Mode while holding VOL DOWN+POWER+HOME. Without the SD card though, the phone was completely unusable as above.
I then tried flashing the firmware and TWRP again with Odin but still the phone won't boot at all, and inserting the debrick SD card could only get it into Download mode.
Would flashing a firmware from a different region help? Or have I ruined the bootloader? Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Why don't you post this in the S3 Neo Forums?
However... i'm so sorry for you.
I hope your phone to get better...

I was trying to root my phone, and it passed, then wouldn't go past the boot logo. So I tried to flash my phone to a stock rom, but I accidentally used a rom for a different build. My phone's build is G920AUCS4CPG1. I can't find a stock rom for my phone, and I can't get it to go past the boot logo, even after getting into recovery and trying to delete the cache and factory reset the phone. Please help asap. Btw carrier is AT&T
EDIT: Had it plugged into a charger, guess it's not charging now? It's hooked up and it shows the battery icon but it's empty and not recharging. Buttttt, if I unplug it from the charger and hold the power button and volume down, it turns off and goes back to the samsung logo.

I recently fixed a bricked XZP with Flashtool, get the latest stock firmware from Xperifirm if you dont have on hand an older hackable firmware from XperiFIX
in Xperifirm setting, set it to extract firmware automatically once downloaded to speed things up,
In flashtool/Tools/bundles/Create, select source folder (your downloaded extracted firmware)
in device "double click" & select your phone model from the list.
branding: add as your download example, custom_uk
version: firmware version copy & paste from download
copy all files from file list to firmware content & click create
this will build a .ftf flash tools file which can then be flashed to your bricked device
just follow the prompts in flashtool....
worked for me,
good luck

Ofcourse i have and flashed .34 amd .75 frimwares with both neflasher and flashtool but none of them fix my problem.is it something that dosent change when we flash stock frimwares.
Lol. Sony phones are really hard to brick. You really can't brick a Sony phone even if you intentionally wanted to. I've even had a failed flash (phone disconnected while flashing) and was still able to flash using flashtool.
Anyways, I know this has been said before, but what happens after you flash using flashtool? Did you check all the boxes for a full wipe?
BTW, bad mouthing a phone just because you can't solve your problem won't help you.
