soft bricked my s6 . need help on how to proceed - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,im a total noob so please bear with me. ive soft bricked my phone and now unsure how to proceed.i can get download mode and i can get into twrp but not sure which option to use from there. any help appreciated .
thanks

Uhm, first of all how did you softbrick it?
Also try the steps in this guide: http://www.androidrootz.com/2015/05/how-to-unroot-galaxy-s6-and-s6-edge.html
Make sure you get the appropriate stock firmware from Sammobiles

i was trying to install the twrp app. all went ok until it went to reboot and now the samsung logo comes up but then disapears and i get a solid blue light top left.

I assume your phone is rooted? Did you try using Flashify? I'm also new to this xD my S6 never had problems with twrp till now, so don't really know how to help here. Sorry :/
Or you can try reflashing TWRP and clearing cache before rebooting to system, idk, might help

HI ALL,

Is there anyone who can help me?
I have the exact same problem!
I've tried restoring a backup, rebooting the phone, turning it off, install update from sdcard, formatting cache...
None to any avail. Please help!
I've tried about every option now, I've even tried downloading a ROM and flashing it to the phone. It still boots into Clockworkmod.
Can I throw my phone in the trash now?
Edit:
I don't have windows XP, so nope to unbricking your O3D guide.
Sdcard
I can only put the rom at my external sdcard i don know how to put someting in the internal flash
I've now tried flashing KingDroid.
It's still in the bootloop.
Why does it seem like no one even cares about this thread?

People care but if they don't have an answer for you it's not much they can do, tried pulling the battery I guess and using CWM to reset battery data and reseting to factory defaults etc?
People arent answering because there is already a guide on the forum explaining exactly how to fix this.

I have tried about every single option in the CWM menus, and I've tried pulling the battery at random times.
None of them worked.
I'm now going to remove Arch Linux from my PC to make room for windows XP. Sorry for my previous outrage.
Next time remove CWM from your phone before updating...
I just installed windows XP and followed the guide to the letter. I am now stuck with the firmware update screen. How do I get rid of this?
Flash rom
I,ve managed to flash the rom with the original v10D but itś still booting in clockwork recovery mode pfffff
These phones really are hard to unbrick.
Tell me please how to exit Rekaveri. Reloading and pulling the battery does not helps, it means everything? brick?

If you're stuck at the "updating firmware" screen like me, you're simply ****ed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197108
use LG vip service.
I just called them, they said they'd "assess" my situation and that they'd call me back to tell me whether they'll replace it...
restore
Hi,
I have managed to restore a backup image but he is still booting in clockwork recovery what am i forgetting ????
Sincerely Snellie1972
Recover
I have recovered the phone with clockwork recovery with stock file
Optimus 3D 10D pre-rooted CWM restore but still it goes in too clockwork recovery at boot
What am i doing wrong ????
Thanks in advance
snellie1972
Unfortunately I was also able to get passed the clockwork screen but the phone is stuck on the update just like anybody else. I contacted the store where I bought it from and they sent me a prepaid box already to send it to them for repair/replacement.
As everyone says, at the moment it's not possible to recover from that state, sorry snellie.
If you still get the clockwork, then just follow these instructions but even so, you wont get passed the software update screen.
Flash
I have managed to flash using first de KDZ tool from LG en after that i have used te LGMOBILE update tool and just put in my imei and serial and it was downloading and restoring my phone so far so good but when it was Finished without any error it is still haging on update software ...
I don't understand why it is not going any further
Greetz
snellie1972
It's almost as if this firmware update screen is fake and an indicator for LG to see you ****ed your phone up.
Is there any known hacker even working on this?

Try this...it will work after that : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1397393
tried it but i can't get it working
I always get a theme failure...
you will need to do do a full wipe. then install as install from sd card and locate the update file.
Same Issue Here

Hi, any luck with this issue?! I'm having exactly the same problem
You could try flashing the recovery through fastboot or even wipe the device and flash the ROM through fastboot.
Thanks... At the end I wasn't even able to get into Clockwork Mod Recovery. Found a guide on how to force my way into Clockwork Mod, and tried to load a ROM - without success...
I ended up leaving my phone on boot the whole night, and sure enough, it was working in the morning. Mind you, I've had it booting or more than half an hour before, and nothing happened.
So personally, I don't have an explanation why it works all of a sudden.
My suggestion is, leave it booting overnight and "hope for the best" - it worked for me.

[Q] Bricked Samsung Galaxy Y Need help!

Hello. I recently tried to install the ICS Rom, but was unsuccesful. I had the Clockworld Recovery app, and did a back up of my original ROM.
I tried to update to the new ROM, but did not do a data wipe. I didnt know if it would wipe all my data, which I needed. I DID do a dalvik cache wipe...
I tried to boot into recovery, but it was no use. I cannot download any software on my computer, so no programs will work.
I need the phone ASAP. It gets stuck on the boot up. It displays the Samsung Galaxy Y screen, plays a different type of music from the original, and gets stuck on the black screen.
Please help! I am new and only a 13 year old! I need my phone for emergency uses! And soon! NEED SUPPORT NOW!:​crying:
Did I brick my phone? Softbrick? Should I bring it to the tech? Please HELP!
Lol13, go and get another

If there is any response lights or anything, it is possible to recover it. But you need a computer unfortunately. Don't go around saying cause your 13 is an excuse for not being able to do this. I'm 13. Anyway try as hard as you can and download Odin for your device and I don't know exact details cause your phone is different from mine, but Odin it to stock. Try asking around your device forums and find a guide in the development forum.

Hey! from my phone, it freezes on the samsung image when is boots up. It stays there forever. I'm pretty sure it is bricked. I rooted my phone, then tried to install some kind of font switch that is required for a root phone. After that it told me to restart my phone, did exactly that, and now my phone is stuck on the samsung logo screen. I have odin, and now im just looking for a stock rom for it. I did a factory reset, but that didnt work either. Can anybody help me?

oh yea... its for verizon by the way.
Did you install the verizon update manager? You should be able to do a repair. As for the stock Rom we are working on that right now.
Oh and you can follow us on these sites so you can keep up with what we're doing with the phone:

WELL... thanks. And no i didn't install the verizon update manager.. What's that? And please let me know as soon as the stock ROM comes out or any word of it,... or yea... hahaha. im really stuck on it. I really wish things could work out.
You'll find the Verizon Update Manager at the 13th post of the 2nd link I posted here. You'll also need a Dropbox account.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1902170&page=2
Before you do that, however, can you get into recovery mode? Hold down the home button, VOL Up, and the power button to enter into recovery mode.
If you cannot enter recovery mode, please be patient as we try to get a stock ROM uploaded.
You also can help us. Since your phone is rooted, you can make a backup of the stock recovery if it still works. If you're familiar with ADB you should try looking at the last post of my link: you'll see a command there to extract the recovery.

well i can.. i can get into recovery mode. Thats how i tried the factory reset... and it didn't work. I am currently at school... so ill try to do the ADB command this weekend. I was looking at that post earlier. but.. as i said before, but my phone won't fully turn on. It's stuck at the "samsung" logo. that's where it stops. Just curious is the Verizon update manager the same as VZAccess Manager? And the link on the post its the bootstrap helper.exe... that one am i correct?
Verizon has several names for its features but I do belive the VZ Access manager is different. I just pulled up the app and found that it's actually callied "Verizon Upgrade Assistant"...which really means "kiss your custom rooted ROM goodbye" in the future when everything works well.
I have someone trying to upload a stock ROM and I'll get back to you when you can download the ROM. My phone's bricked as well so all I can do is sit, wait, and gather information. I've been without this blasted phone for nearly two weeks so don't feel too bad; you're not alone.
I appreciate the help you can give for the recovery option as if we all can get some stock ROMs extracted, the REAL devs can start having fun with this phone...hopefully we will too.
