Hi, I have a Samsung S6 G920F that is bricked and will not flash to any firmware's. I have tried all of them and Odin keeps on saying failed. I cannot enter recovery mode I only can enter download mode, I got this phone unlocked but it was originally locked to EE. I am unsure whether to download an unlocked firmware or EE but as I said before I have tried all of these firmwares and I am unable to get a pass on Odin.
List of what I tried:
Samsung Kies
Flashed all softwares
Tried PIT file
Tried different usb port
Tried older version of odin
Please help, Thanks :good:

Hello
I was flashing my Galaxy W but suddenly it stucked at AMSS....I just pulled of the cable and now when I turn on my phone, it says: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue.
How can I bring it back?!
TIA
You will need to put it in Download Mode, grab ODIN and flash one of these. Go back to stock, get it working, then start over
Good luck!
Firmware encountered an Issue...
Hi.
Im posting this here since this is the closest ive come to my own problem.

Ah yes, but which one?
I've looked through the thread, doesn't seem like anyone's laid out a guideline for it. However, if you happen to know, could you tell me which one I'd need for my phone?
PDA: I8150XXLA2
PHONE: I8150XXKL3
CSC: I8150OXXKL4

Hello everyone, and thanks for taking the time to attempt to help me.
Earlier today, my T-Mobile Galaxy S5 updated to 5.1.1. I searched google and came across a few links on how to root my phone (G900T) - The one I ended up using was CF-AutoRoot
I used Odin 3.07, used the tar5 file from that site above where I downloaded the root, and attempted to root the phone. Odin says everything worked as planned ''passed'' was displayed with 0 fails. I waited about 20 minutes, but my phone never rebooted, it was stuck in a boot logo loop ' 'Samsung Galaxy S5 powered by Android'' or ''T-Mobile'' was displayed.
I tried going into recovery and reseting all data / factory wipe but that didn't help, and made it even worse. Now my phone says this when I try to turn it on: ''Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again''
How do I go about getting back to stock firmware , that is rootable, so I can then proceed to install CyanogenMod?
EDIT: I used Kies and was able to get back to stock firmware and the phone turns on.
Can anyone recommend a reliable root for the G900T S5?

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
It's good to hear that you managed to revive your phone. Many of us find it convenient to install a custom recovery such as TWRP which makes backing up and restoring, switching ROMs, and many such activities much easier. XDA happens to have an active and friendly area dedicated to the Samsung Galaxy S5, and specifically to the T-Mobile version at http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5. I suggest you search that area or simply post your question in the Q&A forum there at http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/help where our experts will be most likely to be able to guide you.
I realize i'm stupid af but here's what happened: I was trying to flash a custom rom to my SM-G920F galaxy s6 and accidentally uninstalled my OS. This morning I attempted to flash G920FXXU2POGN to my galaxy 6, I have no idea what the original software was. Everything was going fine until the last minute when hidden.img appeared in the odin log and the flash failed. My device now reads: An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software. However, neither smart switch of kies 3.0 support my device!! My device is still bootable into download mode. Please please please help. I've only had this thing for a day and I've already broken it.

Hi there, you should download smart switch and use emergency firmware recovery, From there you should click 'more' then click emergency software recovery. Key in your device SM-G920F then input your serial number (Found on your device Box, remember to connect your phone on download mode) then voila, it should download and install the latest firmware for you. hope it helps!

Here are official firmwares for your device. Boot your device into download mode and connect your phone, it should show up in Odin, then select the file you downloaded from sammobile and flash it from there. If you get any errors, please post the log here and I'll take a look at it.
Hello there, I am already more than 3 days trying to download stock firmware for my phone, every day another problem, on the beginning it was always fail while trying with Odin, then I was try another firmware it was downloaded but stucked on update 32%.i understand it can be wrong firmware, I tried other methods, I was add pit for Samsung galaxy s6 edge G925F. Downloaded but didn't help, I tried another firmware for other region it was downloaded, even no fail, but stucked on erasing. I tried recovery mode (volume up-home-power) cant access it. Today I try again, all the time stuck on Initialization.
Note I tried different Odin version.
USB on laptop there's two, 2.0 and 3.0(blue)
The time it was succeed without fail it was on the black USB 2.0
So now even completely can't start to download firmware.
Also I was try to download Twrp after it was nearly succeeded and stucked on erasing, hoping that I can access recovery mode to wipe everything, but Twrp stucked on logo.
After all that I can't do nothing.
I still can access downloading mode and phone stuck on logo if I put it on the charge.
I hope I was give right and enough informations to help me solve the issue.
I appreciate any help

You should identify the exact device model.
Then check to download the stock Samsung firmware for this model.
