Hey guys,
I normally never post "please help" threads, but i'm genuinely stuck on this one. I'm used to HTC devices and this is my first Samsung I've had and I've tried everything I can think of to fix it but nothing seems to work.
I got a notification there was an update to the device so I ran the OTA update to lollipop, and since then, the phone was acting weird. A few days back, it froze and then rebooted itself and appeared to be stuck in a bootloop, not going past the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge splash screen for a few seconds before rebooting again and again. I tried to boot into recovery mode by pressing the Home + Power + Volume up button, and the blue "Booting to recovery" shows in top left, but then it immediately starts to reboot again. So recovery will not load no matter what I do.
I then downloaded Odin after some research and found the ALL_ATT_N915AUCU2COI2_N915AATT2COI2_CL5613658_QB6196305_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar file and was able to get the device into download mode. I put the file into the AP box, checking the two boxes I was supposed to (Auto Reboot and F reset time) and hit start. It passed. When it rebooted, it immediately tries to boot back to the recovery screen and the same issue persists. Odin output below:

Once Odin does it's thing, here's the output from the program, which says it passed with no issue. However, it will NOT boot and continues to loop trying to load the recovery.

I tried to do the process again, same issue. I took it to a Samsung center in best buy, there's a small crack by the fingerprint sensor so they said they warranty is voided and they won't fix it but they tried to flash it as well and couldn't. But he didn't try very hard.
Not sure what to do at this point, if anyone could help or offer guidance I would be much appreciative >.<
I can still get it into update mode and I did something after that I can't remember but it popped up with the yellow exclamation that said there was a problem loading the firmware update. I tried downloading Kies3 but it says the device is incompatible, Samsung told me to try with Smart switch. I put the model number in and it asks for the S/N which I put it in as well to try and recover that way, but it says the SN is invalid no matter how many times I've put it in on either Kies3 or Smart Switch.
Please help?
Thank you in advance
Update: I'm a dummy and noticed I was putting IMEI in for S/N on Smart Switch - but I put correct S/N and Smart switch just closes.
I did manage to load PIT file and got rid of the recovery loading screen... but still just boot loops.. I'm screwed huh?

First off, I am a complete Android/PC noob (have used solely apple products until this phone, and an Acer aspire comp. i got 2 weeks ago).
I have been using the Exhilarate with android GB, and wanted to upgrade to ICS. I downloaded Samsung Kies, backed up my phone, and began the firmware upgrade, however once the progress reached 70%-80%, the device came unplugged. after restarting the phone, it is stuck on a screen that says:
upper left corner of screen:
Odin Mode
Product Name:SGH-I577
Custom Binary Download: YES(2 counts)
Current Binary: Custom
Center of screen:
Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.
When I reconnect and attempt to do the emergency firmware recovery using kies, it completes the downloading of the file for firmware emergency recovery, but once it moves on to "proceed to firmware emergency recovery", it stops working (the progress bar is stuck at 0%)
After waiting a little while, the emergency recovery closes, and a message shows saying:
Notice-F PC failed to recognize the mobile phone. Please follow the guide shown below to try again
I gave up on kies, and did some searching of my own. I downloaded the latest version of Odin, as well as the Clockworkmod-Blaze-4G.tar. I made sure there was nothing Kies-related running on my computer, opened up Odin, loaded the clockwork .tar, turned the phone on into download mode (it says Warning!, asks if I want to go into download mode, and then returns to the Odin Mode screen once I say yes). the device is shown as added to odin, I clicked start, and it seemed to be working, and then a big red FAIL appeared in the top left box, and the message box said:
<ID:0/004> Added!!
<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..

<ID:0/004> recovery.img
<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I have tried re-installing drivers, different versions of the .tar file (i think they are diff. versions, but not completely sure) rebooting the device many many times, among other things. If anyone has any idea of where to go from here, i would be EXTREMELY grateful.
thank you guys
One more thing
OP here still:
I tried again with a different version of Odin. this time it failed once again, but got a bit further. (everything else was the same):

also, I have only checked the Auto reboot box in odin. All others were left blank
I am having a very similar problem with my SGS3 - were you able to solve your problem? If so, can you share how you did?
Hello,
I am attempting to flash my phone back to stock using these directions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2586319
When I boot the phone normally, I get the Verizon warning about non-Verizon software. I am able to go to Download mode just fine. I have tried both the ODIN (I've tried JODIN as well) and VZW utility methods and neither is working. I have successfully re-partitioned using the PIT in the link, but the actual tar ball fails.

I've done a ton of Googling on this and can't seem to find any answers on what to do. Does anyone have any advice to get this phone working again or is it bricked?
Thanks for any help!
Ok, so it looks like my cable was bad. After switching the cable things seem to be working now.
Hello all,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S7, from Rogers but unlocked, version SM-G930W8 that I bought second hand.
Phone was rooted, I factory reset it to prepare it for my wife, then installed apps and moved data and everything.
Turned the phone off and put it aside, the next day I bought a new Nano SIM, turned it ON and I got "Custom binary blocked by FRP lock".
I downloaded G930W8VLU1APG1_G930W8OYA1APG1_XAC tried flashing via ODIN and got this:

On the phone I had: Custom Binary(Recovery) Blocked by FRP Lock
Also I have tried multiple computers, multiple cables, multiple versions of ODIN, ...
Now the phone is stuck at the Samsung screen and won’t turn on or off, until the battery dies.
Tried Smart Switch but it asks for the serial number, which I do not have. (There is just IMEI on the back of the phone)
Not sure but I think somehow after the factory reset the OEM Unlock got disabled.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Did you ever figure this out? I'm facing the same thing and hoping my phone isn't bricked.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/help/potentially-bricked-s7-flat-custom-t3583502
This will fix and let you flash.
1) Open Odin, place all the necessary files into their slots.
2) Go the the options tab, make sure "Auto Reboot" IS ticked.
3) Press "start", but as soon as you do, hold down Vol down+Home+Power on your phone.
Odin will fail and your phone will reboot into download mode again.
Now press "Start" in Odin again, and your phone should flash without a problem.
This might take a few attempts to get right, but I hope it helps.
Hey folks im in australia and i have a S7 and a few days ago i did an update which crashed my whole phone and left me with a brick. It started with the phone on a reboot loop and I have had a series of errors trying to get it back in order and atm cant get passed

So as of now when i boot the phone it goes into

I have tried loading multiple bootloaders in odin but all seem to fail. I never installed samsung kies or smart switch so i cant do a restore though them. For some reason the Vol up, Home and Power combination doesn't load into the odin menu to do a factory reset. I talked to the local samsung store and they said because my phone is an international model there is nothing they can do apart from replace the motherboard, which to me sounded dodgy. I have tried all the local phone repair shops and they are as stumped as i am and i cant seem to find any answers on the web, i apologize for my lack of technical knowledge in advance.
any help would be appreciated!
hi all,
so i got a screwed situation here, i have a SM-G925F 32GB (galaxy s6 edge) international
the problem is, it is softbricked, reactivation-lock is enabled and OEM Unlock is disabled :/ it has never been rooted or modified, its bone stock.
anyway i tried flashing the newest stock ROM, it gets stuck on boot.img or cache.img. i tried installing all the firmware components one by one. correct PIT file first, then sboot.bin, followed by boot.img. that goes flawless, i get the samsung galaxy s6 edge splash screen (prior to boot animation)
then i tried installing the modem, output:
<ID:0/003> Now Writing.. Please wait about 2 minutes
and eventualy return an error code, + the phone doesn't show the samsung splash screen anymore and goes back to that cyan screen which says something with smartswitch.
so i started again at square 1: PIT --> sboot.bin --> boot.img, that went flawless, got the thing on the samsung logo again.
but this time i went on and flashed system.img: output:

well, flashing system.img took aprox 1.5 secconds! thats impossible... what am i doing wrong here?
sidenote, <ID:0/003> Initialzation.. takes 3/5 minutes, some rare occasions, 2 seconds. is that normal?
i tried different ODIN versions, and also the ones from SkipSoft. i tried several different USB cables, 2 different computers and a lot of different usb ports. i also cleaned the crap out of my usb port inside the phone.
reinstalled drivers, turned antivirus and firewall defender off, always ran odin as administrator, cleaned the pc with ccleaner etc.
errors i keep getting are:
<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed
<ID:0/003> NAND Write Start!! [eventually does nothing and throws errors]
