Hello, I have a soft bricked (hopefully thats the case) Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G920F xme region (Malaysia) with android 6.0.1 latest stock rom.
It started when my device suddenly restarted and got stuck at the samsung logo (first screen).
I am able to boot it into Download Mode, tried reflashing with a fresh stock rom MM 6.0.1 with odin, flashing proccess was completed with no fail but it still stuck at the same screen.
I can't even boot into recovery mode so i can't wipe the cache partition, i noticed the Reactivaction Lock status is ON, i suspect that might be the culprit?
The things i tried so far:
1- Reflash with the latest stock firmware. Ticking the NAND erase all and repartition it with pit file also didn't work.
2- Samsung Smart Switch and Kies3. Flash completed but no effect.
3- Flashing any recovery files returns with "Custom binary(recovery) Blocked by R/L".
4- Sent it to my nearest Samsung service centre, they did try to repair it but only to be told that my S6 need a new motherboard the next day, which is out of my budget limit. But i am still hoping to find some other way to fix it, i believe this is just a "soft-brick" not a hard brick device.
Ideas guys? thanks.
Try to re flash stock odin firmware with erase all ticked ok ,
Good luck ,,

Try Samsung Smart Switch, it has some recovery features that can automate the process for you.

Thank you for taking a look at my problem here, i forgot to mention that i did try Samsung Smart Switch and Kies3, both managed to succesfully flashed the stock firmware, it reboots my device and still stuck at the same first screen.

I believe it is doing that because you have a locked bootloader. Normally that shouldn't be a problem unless you're trying to flash a firmware that is older than what you had.
What stock firmware version/build number did your device have? What firmware version/build number is what you are flashing? If what you're flashing is older it might be downgrading your bootloader, bootloader can't be downgraded on most locked bootloader Samsung devices these days.

Don't remember the build number, but it was a 6.0.1 firmware, i flashed it with the same stock firmware version.. but maybe the build number didn't match.
I read somewhere about the engineering bootloader, i know it is not so easy or even possible at the moment to find one for my current firmware version, but let's say if i have it, will it be possible for me to use it to remove the RL on my device?

Did you flash a firmware from a different g920 series device? Or did you flash the firmware for your specific model number and your and carrier?

Let me backtrack. Do you know if USB debugging is on?
Did you flash TWRP with a locked bootloader before this happened? Is that what caused the issue?

USB debugging and Developer Mode was never turned on that device.
Negative, i did try flashing TWRP but it was after it got stuck at the logo screen and only able to boot into Download Mode, the flashing came back failed with "Custom Binary (recovery) Blocked by RL" message.
Flashing it with the latest stock recovery i found online also gave me the same error message.

Just out of curiosity, have you tried booting to safe mode? If any of the apps that you installed before this happened were causing an issue or bootloop before you flashed are still there, it/they could still be causing the bootloop. Remember, I said that it doesn't wipe data unless you are upgrading or downgrading bootloader/baseband, what you flashed wasn't an upgrade or a downgrade so your data is there. Boot to safe mode and disable/uninstall the apps that might be causing the issue.

Didn't try that... but nevermind. I accidentally damaged my screen while trying to dissasemble it last night, a very stupid mistake from me.
Thank you for trying to help me mate. Forum mods can close this thread now. Thanks all.
problem
i have too but with A/L
My Fried gave this phone to me (SM-N915G) which is stuck at Powered by Android, and told me to fix it.
He said that when he update to MM from LP without KIES or Odin, the phone suddenly restarted and stuck there getting HOT
He had no experiece to repair it so he asked me to fix it.
So for 3 days lately, i have tried many ways to fix it but wihout any progress, as follow :
1. Flashing Official MM wby using Odin -> still stuck
2. Downgrading Flash Official LP using Odin -> still stuck
3. Installed TWRP, and flasing CFW Micky387_MM_V3.0 for 915F/FY/G (flashing Bootloader and modem as required) -> still stuck with set warranty bit : kernel
4. After Flashing Micky CFW and Failde, i try to flash Emotion Kernel -> still stuck with Kernel is Seandroid Enforcing
5. Redoing Flash Micky CFW with other CSC -> Still Stuck (even i tried with 915F and 915FY as in the aroma installer)
6. Never failed during flash procedure with Odin or TWRP, everything is smooth
7. When stuck, the device is getting Hot slowly but and when left as long as 15 minutes, the HH is getting HOT (TWRP read 72 degree at most)
**Update
8. Tried using Official SmartSwitch sucessfully but the result is still the same -> Still Stuck and getting hot as usual T.T
Last Download Mode status is :
Odin Mode (High Speed)
Product name: SM-N915G
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
Reactivation Lock: Off
Knox warranty void: 0x1 (2)
Quallcomm secureboot : Enable (CSB)
RP SWREV: S1, T1, R1, A1, P1
Secure Download: Enable
UDC START
I am now thinking, should i flash another Kernel or PIT or Bootloader? but i still cant decide what to do next to revive this Phone
Please help, any suggestion is greatly appreciated, thank you.

I can tell you that Kies and NOT Kies 3 was what worked for me when I downloaded/installed Marshmallow from Samsung's website.
Figure that one out.
That was also using a 64 bit version of Windows 7 Pro.

I'm going to guess that you've tried installing MM using Kies directly from Sammobile?
If so,have you tried turning off your computer's antivirus when you download/install?
It sounds like the bootloader is looking for something and can't find it.....kind of like what happened to me when I totally ripped KNOX out of my phone.
Restore time!
Good thing I did CWM backups.
In your case,your computer's anti virus could be seeing something in the download and ripping it out.
I've seen my browsers do that when I download stuff....pain in the....
Have you tried a different battery?
Maybe a search of the forums to see if anyone else has had this problem and solved it?
I kind of remember seeing something like this a while back.

Thank you for the response,
I was using KIES 2.64 that downloaded from Samsung website to fix the phone as your suggestion (tools->firmware upgrade and initialisation) but still fail to fix it.
Nope, the antivirus still active when KIES download the FW and Flash it into the phone, but it is new to me that antivirus will intercept ongoing dowloaded files, if so i think the antivirus will give some notification or warning about the content of the file that being downloaded and in my case, my antivirus is still cool and no notification whatsoever.
The bad thing is i do not have any cwm backup and since this is my friend phone and not mine, well... we dont have any backup for this phone.
Regarding the battery, i admit that i havent try other battery, since i dont see any connecton between it, in my opinion, the phone works well, the charging animation working, and no sign of weak battery... but i will try to do it if i can get some other battery
I have surfed many forums and websites, but almost 90% can be fixed with simple flashing from odin or just by clearing up cache and data from recovery.
Other that that, wither, no one respond to the problem, or just some discussion without conclusion, really frustrating.
I even go further to read about android booting sequence to identify whats wrong with the boot sequence, but still confused...
But i have some question if you would to answer :
1 . Stuck at Android logo, bootloader or kernel problem?
2 . Is it possible that one of the mainboard chip that have some part in booting process is malfunctioning? But if so, the phone will be dead bricked right?
3. How about the booting process is halted due some hardware failure? ex : some chip (other than chip that have part in booting process) is bad and so the bootloader init is halted
4. The Worst guess, is it possible that the phone is fake? (the serial number behind the baterry is accepted by kies though)
Thank you very much, you are the only one who still response to my problem. :good:
As it seems you use the wrong Bootlaoder. Is his phone N915P or N915G? When you flash N915G Bootloader to N915P, it will not boot but the bootloader will work correctly. Try to flash the N915P bootloader.
I have N915FY phone but did not know first if I had N915F or FY. I flashed the N915F bootloader version, which flashed successfully, but was not booting. Bootloader said that my phones model is N915F. After flashing the FY Bootloader version, it successfully booted to system.

Thank you for the Response,
First, his phone is N915G (according to the box and the information in the battery compartment)
(Really sorry for the mistake i made at the thread title)
And regarding bootloader, that is also my concern at first, i think maybe i was flasing wrong region and bootloader, and so i search the way to find out the real version of the phone, but after trying many ways described on the net (by imei or serial number) , i still cannot found out the way.
But one instance when i try using KIES, and KIES asked for the version and serial number when device upgrade and initialisation, i entered the exact version and serial number that is found behind the phone in battery compartment. KIES immediately confirms that the version and serial number is valid, (i still wonder though, is KIES check it online at Samsung server or there are some serial number database embedded in the KIES) and continue to run trough the official fw download and installation by KIES but at the end still no success.
Is it possible that the version and serial number is wrong ? if so, how to determine the correct one?
and is it safe to try flasing another bootloader?
Thank you very much
Hello, there is no bootloader related to serial number or something. There are different bootloaders for different models and android version. When you flash MM-Version, you need to be sure that you use the right bootloader and baseband files for MM. If you flash different region-locked firmware/bootloader, it will not affect btw. not solve the boot-stuck problem.
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-N915G Try to flash 6.0.1 firmware that is related to your region if you still want to try to flash different region-firmware.
Maybe download the XSA 6.0.1 Firmware with the pit file XSA http://gsm-firmware.com/index.php?a=browse&b=file-info&id=15892.
Then flash XSA 6.0.1 and TBLTE_SEA_XSA.pit together in odin. Under Odin 3 V3.12 ticke the re-partition at option-tab and select TBLTE_SEA_XSA.pit under pit-tab.

Thanks for the reply!
Although there is no bootloader related to serial number, but if we put the serial number in KIES, it will identify what CSC and region, which can be use as a guide to choose the correct FW or let KIES do the Flashing according to the inputted serial number, and as long as the serial number is correct one, that is my opinion but please CMIIW.
When flashing MM, if i use the MM that has been downloaded, the bootloader and baseband is included in the MM image right? or shouuld i flash it separately?
i have tried your suggestion but with no sucess, i have dowloaded the PIT and the FW, flash it trough odin which was sucess, but still stuck.
I do not tick auto restart at Odin, so i manually restart the phone, but i encounter an event which at 20% installing system update (below the greed droid guy) the progress bar is vanished and replaced with erasing, and after that the phone stuck again at the same spot.
Do you have any idea why?
Thank you very much.
Just thinking, should i erase the NAND in ODIN?
If so, how to restore it?
I think that if i backup the NAND using custom recovery and restore it later, it just bring back the same problem, if the NAND causing all this.
Do anyone have some NAND backup that i could use? or any other suggestion?
Thank you
Can you boot to recovery? if yes, try to wipe data and cache.
If it still not working, try to backup your efs with a custom recovery (ex. TWRP), or better the entire System like data, system, boot, efs, modem and save it to your computer.
After saving the backup, try to flash the firmware with pit file while checked NAND erase all.
When its finished and your device boots up, you can flash back your custom recovery and recover only the efs-partition.
If its not working, then there is maybe problems with your eMMC. But be aware using nand erase all. It is the last riskfully option left after trying several things.
I have a backup of my resurrection rom. If you want it I can upload it.
Dear Friends,

No luck at all.
It's quite strange the lack of parts for this phone. I'm guessing that "Sharp" only gave the brand...but the hardware is from someone else.
I've already found out that the phone has the following names:
-Sharp A1
-Sharp Z2
-Sharp Aquos Z2
or even
FS8002.
Neverthless....i don't find lcd/digitizer/screen for it.
Thanks!

Unbrick my phone?
OMG !
I own a sharp (fs8002) and playing around with it i was trying to root it, unlock the BL and install twrp so i can finally install a custom rom.
With not much info about this low supported phone, i used SP FlashTool and managed to erase everything from it. It is not responsive at all, i don`t see fastboot anymore , no revocery no nothing. SP Flashtool identify the device once plugged as mediatek usb port (com9) but i can not find anywhere the necessary files to UNBRICK it so to make it usable once again!
Is there someone who can help me revive and use this two months old phone ?

The stock rom at the Taiwan website (see my earlier post!) is an update-package. It contains a scatter-file that is not suitable for the flashtool...maybe someone can help with that. My guess is that it just does not have the proper format for flashtool. So someone should check that. The firmware seems to be complete, it's 2.1 Gigabyte. I applied the package via update from SD, it works:
Kernel-Version: 3.18.22+ Mon Sep 5 22:19:47 CST 2016
Build Number: NEXCNFN5801509051S release-keys

I managed to download the update firmware file from taiwan website (TSP-1360-0-00WW-A03-update.zip) witch is a 1.92 gb file , but as you said the scatter file contained there is not recognized by SP Flash tool.
Is there a way to make a scatter file for fs8002 with a MT6797 chipset so i can proceed with the flashing ?

Hi,
I am a little new and don't really know about this subject but :
I purchased a new phone : a Gome K1.
This is not tablet but phone. This is a new brandt. This a MTK (MT6757).
For the story, it came to me with chinese ROM, all menus in chinese
I asked to the seller to give me a ROM with playstore and french. They done it.
I flashed their new ROM with a proprietary flash tool. Now I have a android 6 ROM with Playstore, french menus. Well !
But I'd like to know if there is a way to root it, and install a TWRP :
The ROM came with bootloader locked and no recovery. It is entirely blocked.
No way to unlock bootloader via the general way (fastboot oem unlock --> unknown command)
I read some articles that deal with spflashtool and porting TWRP, but I'm new to this and I don't think I will be able to make all these steps correctly to flash a TWRP ...
Does someone has an idea ?
Is my post on the good topic ?
Up, does someone have an idea of how to root it ?
Hello,i also have a Gome K1 phone and I am also interested at rooting it.
There is an ' OEM unlocking option' under the developers option in the settings, have you tried that yet?
If you managed to import twrp and rooted the phone can you pls send here the steps, Thanks
Hello, happy to not be alone with this phone ...
Yes I tried everything, after enabling unknown source, OEM unlocking and USB Debugging developer options :
- All root apks
- all existing root kits using ADB
- Method with a linux distro to access Phone filesystem as root ( cannot see my phone ... )
Now I'm trying to use SP flashtool last version, but even that cannot correctly access the phone to Readback my recovery : there is BROM error, so I think that phone is not compatible with the phone (seen on a forum ...)
So if someone has an idea, he is welcome

When I contacted them, they send me a non rooted custom ROM which embed Google Apps and All language, AND another flash tool.
This flash tool seems to be based on SP flash tool. It seems to have restrictions (no readback ability ...).
I'm not able to backup anything with this tool or with SP flash tool.
Whis spflashtool, when clicking ReadBack, I power off my phone, and plug USB cable.
It begins the process but I immediatly encounter a BROM error :
ERROR: status_brom_cmd_send_da_fail (0xC0060003)
I read a post which indicate to try to plug usb cable when pressing Power plus Volume Up, but I don't think it can work, because I know that their tool works without that operation.
So now I'm still stuck here. Does someone have an idea ?
Hi
On the Russian forum 4pda, the topic GOME K1 we are also discussing and trying to solve the problem of a locked bootloader. So far no results. ROOT is also not yet possible to get.
I've also ported twrp for GOME K1, but there's no point in installing it until the bootloader is unlocked. Otherwise we will get a brick.
Hi
In Developer options there is a setting to unlock bootloader, it's the third toggle down.
Hope this helps.

No, it's not working. This switch does not affect the boot loader state.

Hello vsxby,
I was successful in flashing custom ROM that vendor uploaded for me.
So I thing I can flash just the recovery with their tool. I'm not an expert, so I'm just a little affraid to follow a guide to port a TRWP for Gome K1 and try to flash it, since it can brick the phone.
If you want, I can't send you a copy of their tool they sent to me (SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject.exe) ...

Thank you, but I already have this tool. As I wrote before flashing TWRP we need to unlock the bootloader. While this is not impossible to do. But one of our users on 4pda is going to ask the manufacturer to unlock bootloader. In case of success, I will inform you.
If you want to experiment and flash TWRP with a locked bootloader, I can give you the TWRP I made, but I warn you, it's not safe.
Bro,Can you upload the firmware and tools to google drive or something like? It will be very helpful for dealing with this mediatek replica phone(aus6757_66_m),i got some possible factory test MTK AOSP,but the link expires ：（

We were unable to contact the manufacturer and the moderators of the official GOME forum do not have this information. At the moment, there are no solutions to this issue.

your link seems dead or not correct. - edit: link correct, was not working due to my vpn...
I assume he patched a G8+ boot.img with magisk manager.
boot image can be extracted from official Doha firmware found here: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/doha/official/
manual on how to do this can be found on official magisk manager website.
be aware that when unlocking bootloader your phone will reset to factory settings.
This is what I did. Yes..
Worked great for my G8+. I guess people should just check which stock ROM file they get from lolinet to make sure it's the right one. I say that because, in my case, lolinet list had two files for the Brazilian stock ROM. I went to Settings / About / Version number and downloaded the matching file. Don't know whether the other file would work the same or not. Just didn't want to risk having any issue since G8+ is somewhat new and there's not much info on solving root problems on the Internet.
Hi,
Couple of questions
Does the Bootloader have to be Unlocked to flash the modified Boot image?
Or can I use update option?
Are Motorola releasing unlock numbers for Bootloader now?
Thanks, Carl

Hello, Carl. I guess it's not possible unless there's a flaw in the security. There are some articles on the Internet about that. Google "is-there-a-way-to-root-an-android-phone-without-unlocking-the-bootloader". I can't post URLs yet.
As for Motorola devices, I was able to unlock the bootloader without problems on my G8+, last week. The only caveat, I'm my case, is that I had to wait some days for the unlock bootloader option be available under developer options. It was disabled by default in my G8+. And, yes, they're releasing bootloader unlocking codes.
THANKS!
Have anybody with a rooted device tried to get wide angle camera working in gcam ports?
Thanks.
successfully rooted my Moto G8 Plus using the info in this thread
but for some reason I can't delete bloatware, even by deleting apps from root browsers or trying few solution I found on google

magisk module debloater and also sdmaid helped with most of the bloatware, the only thing I could not remove was google files but I just deactivated it.
a really weird thing happened with the April 1st update, basically the update started automatically and it failed at 3/6 so I tought I should restart my phone and test it again, but it got stuck in bootloop and I had to reflash a rom with fastboot cmd.
I think that's because I unlocked the bootloader and rooted my phone, cause u lose the right for updates after you do that, but for some reason lenovo/moto update system goes automatically the next second u connect to the internet and fails halfway thru so u have a higher chance to ruin your phone or something, instead of denying the update from the start
so the solution I found was to try and delete "moto update service" app that I can't force stop or disable but I couldnt find it in system/app or system/priv-app, that's because the app name is "3c_ota", so deleting that with SD Maid app worked and the "update system" option in settings is reverted to a sort of default android one that lets you check manually.
Had a similiar issue. I soft bricked my phone (bootloop) and installed a stock rom from an unofficial source. The funny thing is, this version did make like 3 or 4 system upgrades to PPSI.29.65-51 without any issue. But the 1st April updated failed to install. I then flashed the official 1st april stock image with the moto rescue and smart assistant. After that, the official ROM tells me my phone is not allowed to do updates because the security of this phone is compromised and I should contact lenovo support
Those upates are kinda annoying if they don't work, I guess I'll just completey flash the phone every 6-12 months with the moto assistant.
yeah you should always have a backup rom that you can download with moto assistant or from lolinet g8 roms (https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/doha/official/)
I also got the same message saying that my phone is compromised ( unlocked bootloader + rooted) and it won't receive any further updates, but I just deleted the "3c_ota" app (the moto update service) which is bad cause if forces automatic updates the second u connect to internet.
I'm not going to touch any further updates or security patches until android 10, which I will attempt to flash via moto assistant
