Galaxy S6 Stuck on Bootloop after flash - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Believe I may have flashed my G920i 5.1.1 wrongly this afternoon after rooting it last night successfully.
Able to enter Recovery and Download Mode, Factory Reset done, Cache Cleared,.
Can't seem to download stock rom for mine, Singapore Starhub Telco. Sammobile needed me to pay for it though I registered.
Have Odin 3.10.6
Any suggestions guys?

thanks, finally regular button appears now. 2 hours to go. I will have to use ODIN and then flash it in via AP section right?

I've encountered the message,
"An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC Software."
I tried using smart switch but it doesn't recognise the phone. Neither does Emergency recovery function hellp.

[Q] SPH-D720 boot loop

friend gave me their sprint sph-d720 when I cut it on it starts the flipping tiles for like 2 seconds then says google with the unlocked pad lock. i was able to get the unlocked bootloader. It just keeps cycling through this. I am under the impression I need the PIT file to re-partition then flash factory build. I cant seem to find the PIT file like many others. I have spent many nights searching, playing with ABD commands, and playing with odin. I even tried the UNBRICKABLE RESURRECTOR. I can get to BOOTLOADER and DOWNLOAD modes.
right now im attempting to use odin to flash a PIT I found and a BOOT.img I extracted from a factory update zip then used the RESURRECTOR tool to create a TAR for odin. odin recognizes the phone and has sat like this for about 30 min:

I am really getting frustrated. PPPPLEASE HELP.
Sorry, I don't even understand one thing you're saying.
Try posting this in the main forum Q&A. Hopefully someone can help you.
Good luck, man.

http://android.kcomputerzone.com/stock/sojus-jro03r-factory_windows-scripts.zip

Install 7-Zip
Extract sojus-jro03r from sojus-jro03r-factory-59a247f5.tgz (You will need to go in multiple levels deep to get to folder) to your desktop.
Extract contents of sojus-jro03r-factory_windows-scripts.zip to the sojus-jro03r on your the desktop.
With phone in bootloader mode run flash-all.cmd in the sojus-jro03r folder.
If all worked it should be boot and be working.
That should restore yours to default firmware all using fastboot. Hope this helps.
You don't need the unbrickable resurrector your phone is not bricked its just in a bootloop! I assume since the phone is unlocked you have a custom recovery, so just restore from a nandroid backup. If you do not have a custom recovery, just flash one using fastboot its easy no need for a pit file or even odin, everything can be done via fastboot.

so i gave it a shot and now i have a fancy paper weight. i ran the flash-all cmd and it finished sitting on bootloader. i restarted and it showed google and unlocked pad lock, but i let it sit for like 20 min with no change. so like an idiot i pulled the battery. now i get no life from it at all. no charge, no bootloader, no download mode not a damn thing. im assuming it worked i just didnt wait long enough for it to reboot. guess my next step is the RESURRECTION tool. any more help would be great besides preaching patients lol.

SM-J700P WiFi not toggling On. IP Address: Unavailable. - Firmware?

I rooted via Odin with no problems. When trying to flash TWRP via Odin I constantly got "Binary size too large" error. So I attempted to flash via Flashify instead. This resulted in a bootloop so I flashed the first "stock firmware" I found. That included a boot.img and recovery.img. I think this is where I went wrong.
Since then, my WiFi will not toggle on, my IP address is unavailable, FM radio stopped working. Everything else seems to be working fine.
I have read about clearing all cache in recovery, but as I stated above, I have no recovery mode.. Attempting to reboot to recovery always results in Odin mode. This is also a big concern as I would like to flash a modified stock rom.
Is this as simple as flashing the EXACT firmware for the 700P? Does it matter if that firmware is from another region? How do I get TWRP on the phone without getting "binary size" error?
I have searched the forums on this but have not found exact situation.
I know most terms and motions. Please help me.
Dont sweat it man. What i suggest, is instead of going through all of that headache to find the issue. Get Odin. Use it to reinstall the stock 6.0.1 firmware. Then re root it using odin again using the cf autoroot method( makes sure u have oem unlock and usb debugging checked). You should have no problems after that. 2 days ago i bricked my phone with oem unlock and usb debugging off and still fixed and rerooted it. Anyway once you do that use odin to install twrp and when you install twrp make sure auto reboot option on odin is unchecked for it to install correctly.

Okay, sweet.. Thats good to hear.
Does it matter if the firmware I flash is from another region?
I'm having a hard time finding my correct firmware in the US. Does it matter?

Also, I've had auto-rebooot checked when attempting to flash TWRP. So that could have been my problem.
Thank you for the reply.
Even after uncehcking Auto Reboot, I am still presented with this error.

[GUIDE] Downgrade SM-G920F from Nougat to Marshmallow/Lollipop

*** WARNING ***
i am not responsible for any damage you may do at your phone!
Proceed at your own risk
This is ONLY for SM-G920F variant of Galaxy S6​
Hello dear fellas,
I present you a guide which can help you downgrade your Galaxy S6 from Nougat to a stock Marshmallow/Lollipop firmware.
Everything consists in two firmware files and just a little bit of skill. It will install an engineering bootloader in your phone. This will allow you to upgrade/downgrade to any firmware version you like.
So, let's prepare our things!​
1. Download any stock Lollipop or Marshmallow firmware at your choice in ODIN flash format. Make sure that it is for SM-G920F!
2. Download this baby file from here -> Engineering ROM (Note: this is a factory/service firmware file with the latest engineering bootloader B : 5. Without this one, the downgrade wouldn't be possible).
3. Install SkipSoft Android Tool Kit -> CLICK
4. Right-Click on your chosen firmware file and open it with 7-Zip. Extract the following files on your Desktop: boot.img, cache.img, hidden.img, recovery.img and system.img
5. Open SkipSoft Android Tool Kit and wait until you see the main menu. Then go to the installation folder of this tool and you should see an "INPUT" folder. Copy ONLY the boot.img, cache.img, recovery.img and system.img into that folder.
6. In SkipSoft Android Tool, type "99" and then hit ENTER. "8" and hit ENTER. "2" and hit ENTER. Check again if you have all the requested files and then type "yes" followed by ENTER. (note: all numbers without quotes). The tool will generate a flashable .tar file which you will find it into the OUTPUT folder. At the end of his extension (.tar), add .md5 so it will look like .tar.md5.
7. Put your phone in Download Mode and fire up ODIN.
8. Open the engineering firmware in the AP tab and flash it. When it finishes, let it boot completely and then put the phone again in Download Mode.
9. Open ODIN again, go to the Options tab and untick "Auto Reboot", load into the AP tab the firmware which Android Tool has generated and flash it.
10. When the phone finishes, press Vol. Down + Home + Power to reboot your phone in Download Mode again.
11. At this point, go to the hidden.img extracted file and put the .tar extension after the .img. It will look like this: hidden.img.tar
12. In ODIN again, open this hidden.img.tar file in AP tab and flash it.
13. Let the phone boot and enjoy your downgraded firmware!
You can root it by flashing TWRP via ODIN. And then you can flash any 5.0.1 / 5.1.1 / 6.0.1 custom ROM!
First I have to flash stock Lollipop then I flash files from eng rom?
You should mention also something important!!! Engineering bootloader breaks fingerprint support. So whoever is going to try this please take this into account.
I don't use fingerprint anyway, did anyone tried this?
odin error - md5 error binary is invalid for both
i removed .md5 from the files name and it worked
When I tried to do this using the engineering ROM, it didn't work, but when I kept trying things, it worked flashing just the reduced tar file and the hidden .tar.md5. I've now downgraded 2 different phones from Nougat to Marshmallow.

you dont need enginnering rom for downgrading to marshmallow

It is mandatory to have the Reactivation Lock - OFF?
Nope, doesn't work. It still blocks the downgrade.
The 5.0.2 engineering firmware is working though, but i can't downgrade with the new created 5.0.2 firmware.

1. Extract all *.img files from your stock ROM
2. Zip them up in a .tar
3. Flash .tar file with Odin
4. Zip hidden.img in a tar
5. Flash that with Odin after the first boot is done
where is the hidden.img

You need to extract it from your rom using 7zip or another extractor.
Hi
I have successfully managed to downgrade my S6 from (currently) the latest Nougat version (dated 13/12/2017) G920FXXU5EQK8 to android 6.0.1 (dated 7/2/2017 on Sammobile) G920FXXU5DQA7 . These versions are both the UK BTU versions for my unlocked S6. I had to flash the latest Nougat version to my phone as I managed to brick it on a previous attempt at downgrading it.
You will need to make sure you have 7-zip installed on your computer (in order to extract the .img files from the firmware) and I suggest you also download. tar-Tool_Odin3-v3.10.7_by_mkh.mourad.zip. Do a search for it, I'm not allowed to post the url
You do not need the engineering rom nor the skipsoft android toolkit.
The exact steps I did were as follows - some are probably not necessary, but by doing this it worked:
1. I boot my phone into recovery mode and wiped data /factory reset and wiped cache partition. I then powered it off
2. Download the firmware file, extract all the files using 7-zip.
3. Extract tar-Tool_Odin3-v3.10.7_by_mkh.mourad.zip. Move (or copy) boot.img, cache.img, recovery.img and system.img files into the extracted folder that contains the batch.bat. Do not place these into separate folders.
4. Double click ImgToTar.MD5.bat. A new folder will appear called "All files". When the process is complete (allow 10-15 min for this) there will just be one file in this folder with the extension .tar.md5
5. Boot your phone into download mode, and flash this new file to your phone. I used the odin which was in the tar-Tool_Odin3-v3.10.7_by_mkh.mourad.zip file to do this. I forgot to untick the auto reboot option, so my phone then booted up after this step.
6. I then powered off my phone. I renamed hidden.img to hidden.img.tar and after rebooting my phone into download mode, I flashed this file to my phone.
7. On booting up, all looked good. Start came up on my phone, and I filled everything in, but after finishing that several programs began to FC and I realised something was wrong. I did a factory reset (from the settings screen) then powered off. I rebooted into recovery and wiped the cache partition. I then rebooted it again, and after quite a while (when I thought it was in a boot loop and I tried to reboot it again), it booted up and was fine.
I hope this guide helps you.
After all these steps, you have a fingerprint?
Worked perfectly! Used it for frp
But how do i get back to android 7 ? Just update or do i need to flash something to get everything to original?

Here is what Odin tells me Complete(Write) operation failed.
about the Phone:
Model : SM-A326B
CSC : LUX
AP version : A326BXXU3AUH5
FWVER : 0007
Unique number : 2C0121194E4DAF30B732
Storage : 128
I already tried different solutions and Firmwares from samfw Older/Newest and from Frija-v1.4.4 but i get always the same error.
Smart Switch / Samsung Kies etc...
Would be happy if someone can help me find a Solution i searched already the last 15 hours.
(p.s Sorry for my bad English)
it seems that the bootloader is locked, you should unlock it to be able to flash custom rom, like the samsung rom.
View attachment 5662231 it says "Custom binary blocked by OEM lock".
Try to see if he installed a custom recovery like TWPR, but 90% the phone doesn't has a recovery.
try to unlock the bootloader by entering fast-boot mode.
>Now turn off your device completely.
>Press and hold the Volume UP and DOWN button on your Galaxy A32 and connect it to your PC
>This will boot your device into Download Mode.
>Once in the Download/Recovery menu, press and hold the Volume Up key until you can see the “Unlock Bootloader” >screen.
-Unlock your bootloader.
-Download A32 5G: a32x.
-Put the TWRP TAR for your device with Odin in the AP slot.
-vbmeta_disabled_R.tar in USERDATA slot and click start.
-Start flashing the recovery.
-Then enter onto the custom recovery.
-"Wipe"-->"Format Data"
-Install custom rom !!make sure to have the stock kernel,vendor!!

is the bootloader unlocked?
Because if yes you can skip this step
Just enter download mode and go to odin and install twpr
-Download A32 5G: a32x.
-Put the TWRP TAR for your device with Odin in the AP slot.
-vbmeta_disabled_R.tar in USERDATA slot and click start.

Odin is refusing to flash your Firmware, and it happens because you (or someone) flashes TWRP but after that accidently turns off Developers Option resulting in Disabling of OEM Unlock.
Odin is telling you "CURRENT BINARY : CUSTOM"
To fix that you will need to flash Stock ROM, or odin will refuse to flash your device.
and Bootloader downgrading isn't allowed so odin will not flash.
download latest rom for your device (OLDER ONE WILL NOT WORK) and flash it using odin
I downlaoded the last one with Frija-v1.4.4 with Android 12 but still refuses
And thats what Odin tells me when i try to make what Topo says

i will update you soon
The bootloader is unlocked so it's a good news
TRY THIS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Download: https://droidfilehost.com/download/download-samsung-galaxy-a32-5g-twrp-recovery-file/
vbmeta: https://forum.xda-developers.com/at...236537/?hash=f7249adaefe16f3aeac3256a63063f0a
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once you have downloaded, reboot your device into download mode.
Flash the vbmeta_disabled_R.tar in the USERDATA slot and click start.
Now the device will boot into recovery mode prompting you to wipe data.
Wipe data and reboot to download mode again
Open Odin and add the TWRP Tar file in the AP slot and click start to flash.
Once it is done, you can reboot to recovery via recovery key combo (Vol UP + Power button + USB connected).
In your TWRP Recovery menu, disable encryption:
Go to Advanced > Terminal, type: multidisabler.
If the vendor complains about free space left on the device, will attempt to resize the vendor. and it asks to - Run multidisabler again!.
Type: multidisabler again and you will see - Finished. when done.
Go back to Wipe > Format Data > type yes.
Thank you Topo but still not working

Ia have the same issue.
I tryed every possible combination but still I cannot flash:
"Custom Binary Blocked By OEM Lock".
As I am not the only one having this isuue, I can assume it is a software/firmware problem. Last I remember, I upgraded to the latest stock ROM and the issue happened the next time i restarted the device (a couple of days later after the udate).
Anyways, as there are a couple of ywears since I last used Odin (I recently changed back to Samsung), can someone please tell me where can I download an official ROM and how should I flash it via Odin?
Many thanks in advance!
Hello @wiseman911 i downloaded/used Frija
Also, is there a way to:
- format just the Cache partition
and/or
- format all data/factory reset
just via Odin?
I've tried both Adb and FastBoot but my device is not listed. The only thing that works is Download mode (Vol Up + Vol Down + Power Btn) but only if connected to a computer.
It will not enter recovery mode via Vol Up + Power Btn so I'm kind of stuck.

if you format data it will delete only /data partition, you need to format dalvik, cache, system, data but whit odin you cannot format these things, only way is installing twpr
