s7 bricked - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

i forgot to factory reset before i downgrade the os with odin. now the phone just stuck on the booting screen. i can get to download mode but not to recovery mode. anyone have some solution?

You could try flashing everything from the firmware you download from sammobile.com (BL + AP + CP + CSC (not HOME_CSC)) + check re-partition in Odin.
It will wipe everything. Be sure to download the correct firmware supposed by your hardware, else bad things may happen.

You can download the firmware from Sammobile, and flash it via ODIN, this should hopefully get you back to Stock OS.
You could also try to flash twrp img via ODIN and try to access Recovery Mode again.
Goodluck

i flash the firmware from sammobile. but my phone just wont boot. i cant shut the phone down as it's internal battery

Have you flashed the Appropriate Bootloader and Modem?
At what screen is it stuck at? You could use the Volume Up Key plus home, plus Power Button to force boot it.
Here check This link out, it might help you.
Good luck

Well aslong as you can turn it on download mode you should be fine. If i was you i would download samsung kies 3 and put the phone in download mode and try to the firmware recovery from the top left section in the app. This will flash back the original firmware that came with the phone.,

And if you flashed the CSC then you phone should be wiped when you boot it but maybe you flash the wrong file but like i said hard boot your device and set it to download mode and you should be fine

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000M keeps rebooting

Here's my problem:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000M that keeps rebooting after trying to install a custom recovery so that I can root it.
What I did
I followed the steps (1 to 11), of Installing a custom recovery on Galaxy S mentioned in the following page:
wiki,cyanogenmod,org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd
After that, I simply unplugged the usb, there were no errors, and removed the battery and now what I get is the simply that my device reboots after the boot logo. IF I hold down volume + home + power I can boot in download mode. However, I cannot boot in recovery or in normal mode !
Here's a video of what it is doing youtube,com/watch?v=Wie9eZYyECw
What I have tried
Removing the battery and reboot the cellphone
I tried to redo step 7, heimdall flash --kernel zImage --no-reboot, but I still got the same error

Ok ok. I have two questions for that, first, do you know where I can find the stock rom. And secondly, can I do that via download mode since it is the only thing I can access ?

Follow the instructions from this post. Since you are soft bricked at the moment, you'll need to start at step 4. If you have an extSD in your phone, you might want to pull it until after you're up and running because the "Android" folder from Kitkat needs to be deleted and rebuilt for Lollipop.
That's what I tryed first but it didn't work,
First step.... flash SM-G900P_OA6_FullRestore.
(on boot i have samsung galaxy s5 screen with blue letters at the top saying recovery booting and it loops.)
sense that didn't work i tryed... SM-G900P_NI3-Full_Restore_Unrooted (Compressed Archive)
(on boot i have samsung galaxy s5 screen with blue letters at the top saying recovery booting and it loops.)
then i tryed SM-G900P_OA6_FullRestore. again but still no luck im out of ideas
I cant get to any recovery.
please help.

Are you using the wrong terminology? You have to use Odin and a PC to install the .tar. Also, the first boot into Lollipop can take about 20 minutes. You have to be patient. I see you posting in different threads and you seem to be digging deeper into a hole.
Are you using Odin and starting by downloading (to PC) the file in step #4? Then follow the remaining steps "exactly". Re-read those instructions and if you not already downloaded the needed files, do that first.

Try this: Do a battery pull, then put the phone in Download mode, hook up to PC and then open Odin and then Odin custom recovery, either twrp or Philz. Uncheck auto reboot in odin and once it passes, pull the battery, unplug and boot into recovery. Also, you might update Odin, there's a link to Odin 3.10.0 in my post. Let's see if we can get that far and go from there.

Which recovery tar did you Odin? You pulled the battery after Odin said PASS, then unplugged the phone, put battery back in and immediately tried to get into recovery? If so, I'm stumped.

I saw your post count, I knew you knew what you're doing, just wanted to double check everything. Sorry, I'm out of ideas. I did ask @tdunham to take a look at this thread, if he has some other ideas, but he's offline right now. Hopefully he'll check in later.
What about flashing back to an older version of android? Full tar flash.

Like ne5, and nothing else, just see if you can get stock to boot, no messing around trying to flash recovery.
This is RWillco12's NE5 stock.. Have the phone in download mode and run the .exe
Thanks TD.

I tryied ni3 already
but as far as i know you cant downgrade the bootloader.
if i could flash just the bootloader for ota6 maybe that would help.
i will try downloading ne5 now but my last rom was running a nkd modem.
im going to try and flash G900P_NKD_FullRestore.tar in odin if that dont work ill try ne5
and will report back shortly.
well nkd full restore boots up to
unknowen error!
wait..
done!
udc start.
power reset or
unknown
upload mode.
this is the way i got it back from retech after they replaced my bezel and digitlizer and screen
i never had an issue with anything software wize before that.
Have you tried flashing the phone without any sim cards inserted including the sprint card? You are flashing from a powered off state right? You know it wont work unless phone is powered off before going into download mode.
As a last resort attached is the pit file for the 16gb G900P. Unzip and put it into the pit section of odin and flash the stock firmware again. It will repartition the entire phone when it flashes the stock image.

Maybe one of the buttons is broken or so. Sometimes it does boot to download mode, sometimes it doesnt. I managed to install a custom rom. I tried two Roms and none of them is able to boot. Both get stuck on bootanimation. I did not turn on USB debugging or allow OEM unlock in the stock rom before installing a custum rom.. May this be related to that?
Just tried a AOSP Rom (unofficial Lingue) and it booted like a charm. But Samsung Rom won´t boot. Do you guys know a solution?

if you can access to download mode .
1-flash latest your firmware
2-flash cf-autoroot again if you (flash latest marshmallow) by odin
if you flash nougat
1-flash latest twrp image for your s6 model
2-flash magisk root latest by twrp
after that you should access to stock rom

What's the difference between the firmware I flashed and this one you provided? I exclude a hardware failure because a AOSP ROM did boot.
Possible for the partition layout to be corrupted?

bro , the firmware difference between country and others , there firmware can't boot correctly if you installed on device , another firmware will boot correctly .
i don't think there are a failure on hardware cuz you can boot your device correctly and you can use it .
however , you can try flash this firmware without any problem , if also not booted you may need pit file for the firmware for Poland but first try flash without pit
if not work with you only (not boot up)
-flash firmware with this pit file together with
1-check option re-partition
2-make sure you check auto reboot and f.reset time
pit file for fimware

I'll flash it today when I'm home.
Yes I can, of course the stock recovery is installed now.
You need to install firmware via the 4 part binary method. Try the process below:
Download and run this:
Samfirm (on phone so having issues getting link, the software is on xda)
When you open the program, type the values given here;
Model: SM-G920F
Region: DBT
Auto: Selected
Manual: Unselected
Binary Nature: Selected
Check CRC32: Selected
Decrypt automatically: Selected
When you write and select options given above, press "Check Update" and then press "Download" to download factory firmware for your device.
Once the download has been finished, extract the zip file that you've downloaded via SamFirm.
After unzip it, download and run Odin
When you open it, press BL and select file which starts with BL from downloaded (from Samfirm) and extacted zip folder.
Do the same thing for AP, CP, CSC.
When you set 4 files to Odin, connect your phone to your PC in download mode and click "Start" on Odin
Credit goes to @forumber2 foe this process, it seems to fix a lot of stock firmware flash fails.

S6 Issue - Wont boot

Hi guys,
A friend of mine has given me a S6 which they said did not work, after a bit of fiddling I found:
Download Mode, was working
Recovery mode can't be accessed
Normal boot doesn't seem to work at all (no boot logos including samsung one)
I have attempted to flash the correct ROM but to no success, also attempted to flash just the boot loader to see if that would help, all passes through odin without errors restarts the phone but still doesn't boot.
Am I missing anything, anything I could try? It's rather an annoying situation as the phone must be operational for download mode to work but seems bricked.
Thanks all
Did you use rom with consisting of 4 files or one?

One being a md5 file of 3.7GB
I think you should use rom consisting 4 files ( ap, bl, cp, csc ) and PIT ( you can extract from csc file). Then the entire phone will be reset.

What model of device do you have? And can you enter recovery?
And this file is good, i am using firmwares from updato.com and are in that format.

And one more thing, when you flash stock rom with odin you must force restart your device, then factory reset in recovery otherwise it will not boot... but you cant access recovery

Literally nothing, it stays with a black screen, its weird as hell. Any other ideas?
On this as well, when trying to boot plugged in to the computer nothing on the USB controller. If I boot in to download mode it shows. I don't get why it's bricked in this way :/

Don't know man, if everything is ok with your hardware and if you are attempting to flash right firmware for your device model then i have no idea what is wrong... i am also new to samsung and maybe someone else can help... good luck
Thanks anyway mate.
Anyone else have an idea?
I am in exactly the same position as you, have you made any progress?
I flashed the latest stock rom and I get to the boot screen but no further. no access to recovery either so only have download mode.
The Firmware I flashed was in one file. Where can I source the latest firmware in separate files to see if that works?
