Hi guys,
I have managed to soft brick my S7 flat after trying to root it. using odin. I have also done a factory reset - so no more debugging over the PC, I have to now try recovery on SD card.
The stock rom I have is G930FXXU1DQB7
I can't seem to find a stock rom to put onto the SD card and reinstall the rom ... I think samobile and another site seem to be the only ones that has the stock ROM and there d/l are terrible and often get a corrupted file ( I have tried x4 times now )
If some one could tell me how to either - Put a custom ROM on a stock S7 ( No TWERP on the phone yet ) .. or how to recover my S7 back to manufacturers ... Id buy you a virtual beer ! Had my phone for about 2 weeks and already I cant use it !!
The following thread has the stock firmware uploaded to Mega, so should be easier and more reliable to download:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/how-to/official-stock-firmware-update-odin-t3369431
Don't forget to thank the author of the thread if you find it helpful.
thx, ill give it a go
thx, ill give it a go

You need ODIN 3.12.3 from here
https://mega.nz/#!uBwC3KqR!17OPP5A1g9d7-GxAqCbjXFpmYfO7CgAHNcaZxqEkOao
You need the latest G930F ROM from either here
http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=G930F
Or from samfirm tool here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647
Extract the ROM, add AP, CP, CSC and BL to the 4 sections in ODIN
Put the phone into download mode (Volume Down & Home & Power)
Connect phone to PC USB, make sure the port is connected on ODIN
Press Start on ODIN
Wait for it to reboot back into working Android
thx for your comments, but I cant use odin as I have hard reset the phone ! - so no ADB via usb
I will try the links though ..
The phone does go into d/l mode ... but as I have hard reset to factory I need to go back into the phone and go into dev. options and enable debugging. .. trouble is The phone just boots to the logo and then loops.

What has ADB got to do with ODIN?
You just need download mode, nothing more
Every step I wrote is all you need to follow
hi guys,
Ive managed to fix it ! - I downloaded a good stock rom and uploaded like you guys said ... with Odin ... I had to mess abouit with Odin versions before I got one that worked.
Many thanks guys for all your help. I really had a panic on then for a bit !

i wanted to flash for the first time my samsung galaxy sl i9003 and now my screen is blank. i have 2.3.6 xxkpq. it doest conect to the usb...it's just blank(the screen)...pls help(...i'm verry new at this things(((
you "wanted to flash and now it's blank". that means it's blank before you tried anything which means you need to take it to the service center.
on the other hand, if you mean you tried and now it's blank, why not give us more details? what fw did you try flashing, did you lose power during flashing, etc?

if you are using ODIN try this first..:
open odin on PC
>remove battery on phone
>connect usb to PC to Phone without the battery
>then put battery back
>when the light turns on immedietly press the 3button DOWNLOAD COMBO
(VOLUME DOWN+HOMEKEY+POWER BUTTON)
>If you done it right you would end up on DOWNLOAD MODE
>then learn whats next to do in flashing FIRMWARE...
*IF THE PHONE IS STILL TURNING THE POWER ON IT DOESNT MEAN ITS TOTALLY BRICK...JUST TRY THE METHOD AND MAYBE YOU WILL BE HAPPY AGAIN*

Man I said to use method not to use S2 kernel or bootloaader from S2 use the kernel from i9003;sorry for my bad english
Its common sense to use kernel and bootloader from i9003
Listen i have a solution for you
1. Remove battery sim card and sd card.
2. Download xxkpq rom from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1004647
3. Press vol. down + Home + power and while doing this insert your battery (you may need to people)
4. If the screen lights up u may see the download mode with android shovelling and below downloading do not turn off the target.
5. Select xxkpq rom as the pda source in odin
6. Connect your phone to your computer and see whether the ID COM section turns yellow. If it doesnt you do not have the drivers. Just install kies for the drivers
7. Hit start as soon as the id com section turns yellow
Or
Repeat the steps till step 2
Then while doing the download mode combination plug your usb in and see whether you get a phone pc screen if you do then the id com section will turn yellow and click start.
If none of them work take it to the service center but dont tell them u were up to flashing!
Hope it helps
add me on messenger sp8ky1 , maybe i could explain(in romanian)

Hi,
I have cynogenmod 10 on my galaxy I9003. Then i decided to go back to original firmware. Hence I flashed my phone with DDLF2_CFROOT-05-07-2012.tar .
After this i cleared cache. Now my phone is stuck in bootloop.
After that through reset button on back side of the phone, somehow i have managed to enter in Download mode and tried to change CFROOT but it is showing failed error.
tried re partition through latona_20110114.pit but now nothing is happening.
Now when i m trying to load firmware getting only <OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)
error.

Do I need to update phone bootloader and clear EFS. IF yes how ??
Kindly suggest.
Hey mate, don't select 'update bootloader' and 'clear phone efs ' option in odin while flashing. 'Clear phone efs' will delete your phone's imei IMO.
Do clean flash. Flash XXKPE with re-partitioning and than any stock rom of your choice.
Use this guide to flash XXKPE firmware. Never flash ddlf2 rom directly coming from CM10 or any other based on CM10 rom having MTD partiotning system.
my galaxy fit is not booting normally or in recovery mode.it is going into download mode and ramdump mode.i have flashed it many time with the official firmware from sammobile.com after this problem but no luck.previously i had installed the cyanogen mod 10.1 rom in it.

while flashing in odin I get no erros the device flashes successfully but when the device starts after flashing the screen starts blinking neither it would go into recovery nor normally boot.....no blinking of screen in downloading mode or arm9 mode
Flash froyo first(since it is a full 4pkg firmware & contains bootloader as well). Then try flashing gingerbread & see if it succeeds. I can provide u my firmware files(ddkb1 & ddkt3) which 100% work everytime I flash 'em.
If still the problem persists then there are some other issues.

I have tried flashing froyo...i dont have the one package but different files.still no luck .even tried to install the clockwork mode recovery but it isnt even entering into recovery.if u can give me the download links to your file I can try flashing them.
Install this Samsung USB Driver on pc.
Note:-
*Use Odin v4.42
*Rename ops file exactly as "BENI_v1.0.ops"(without quotes)...(might b case sensitive, so be careful)
Goto download mode by keep pressing & holding Volume Down+Home+Power Buttons together until the phone turn on in "Downloading" mode.
First, flash Galaxy Fit Froyo 2.2.1(ddkb1)
Procedure:
OPS: BENI_v1.0.ops
BOOT: APBOOT......
PHONE: MODEM.....
PDA: CODE......
CSC: CSC......
Click "Start".:thumbup:
& then flash Galaxy Fit Gingerbread 2.3.6(ddkt3)
Procedure:
OPS: BENI_v1.0.ops
Tick one package in Odin & place that ".tar.md5" file under One Package field.
Click "Start".:thumbup:
Additional advice: Try another pc/laptop coz in most cases USB is the major issue
*This will work for sure*:thumbup:
However, if unfortunately none of these work for u, then give it to service center...only way left...
ok I will give it a try once again .....and do u think that there may be some other issues lyk some hardware part faliure....
If the Download Mode is stable, there's no failure on phone's side. Our Fit's hardware never failed for such circumstances.Hence, pc is the main issue.
I think that all kinds of wrongs are easily recovered if Download Mode still exists on the phone(some ppl have their phone blinking in Download Mode...which is bad).
& 1 more thing... those care takers will definitely tell u that u need to replace ur motherboard(even if its alright) which isn't a good deal IMO.
hey I tried it your way but the same problem.....i think I have to visit the customer care and see if they can hook up to something...and I thing it would be wise going for a new cell if they say to change the motherboard....and thanks for your help bro.....

Hello,
Am new on this forum, and basically new at android operative system. So I wanted to root my Samsung Galaxy Young GT-S6310 via Odin and I got PASS! But afterwards I couldn't enter CWM by pressing Vol+ Home Power button...Phone wasn't practically rooted but it was still working fine.
But after two days I thought of resetting it to STOCK and I used the option in Samsung settings. After the phone restarted and tried to boot up, the screen froze and it couldn't load further. Practically I cannot do anything because OS is not loading.
I have access to Vol- Home Power but I tried many tar files tru Odin to replace but i failed.
Can ANYONE help me out with this please? I just wanna make the phone work again.
Thanks A LOT in advance!
hello buddy
go to sammobile download a stock rom for your device then on your phone enter download mode and flash stock rom thru odin

For rooting use an app named "framaroot" install this app on your phone and open it and set it to install superuser (super su is not recommended) and select gandalf exploit if u get a success reboot your device

Download stock firmware from SamMobile.com. Connect your phone in download mode to the computer and use ODIN to flash the firmware as "AP".
Anyone else has any idea ? When i flash it with cwm or what is it called it says it was reset in Odin but phone is still stuck in Samsung note II logo.
So I tried to root my Samsung Galaxy S6 today using TWRP and it got stuck in a boot loop. I went to wipe to cache and accidentally wiped to system. So now there is no OS installed. I know I need to somehow put an OS on the device but I'm in Canada and when I go to samsung's site to download the firmware, there is no Canada option. I bought the phone off of amazon and it came with a European wall charger because it was imported, but how do I know what firmware to download?
Also, when I have found the right firmware, how do I flash it onto the device? I can no longer access TWRP, all I can get is the downloading screen thing. Can I use Odin/how do I use Odin?
Somebody help me I'm panicking because I broke my brand new phone!
You should check the Amazon listing to see which model number you have. It's probably SM-920F.
Once you have the correct firmware downloaded, Google a guide to flashing Galaxy S6 firmware with Odin. There are a lot of them out there.

On the back of the phone it should say which model you have, for example G920F, G920W8, G920P etc.
Download the proper firmware from Sammobile, then follow the tutorial that the following thread has a link to.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/sm-g925f-s6-firmware-thread-t3078841
If the variant you have is the European model, G920F, I recomend you install the unbranded firmware.
IMPORTANT! MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE PROPER FIRMWARE! INSTALLING THE WRONG FIRMWARE CAN HARD BRICK YOUR DEVICE!
I really hope this advice helped!
Really important is only that you pick the right model to download. The region isn't that important. Go to sammobile and download your stock rom, but be sure to not pick a branded one, because they are full of junk.
Also, you must use ODIN in that Download-Mode. Open ODIN, plug your device into your pc and see, if ODIN shows up your device. If yes, select "PDA" or "AP" (depending on ODIN Version) and select your ROM that you have downloaded. Then click on start. Don't touch your phone, your cable or your computer for best results. Wait ODIN say "PASS" with a green background. If this occurs, your phone should restart and after 10 mins or so, it should boot Android.
I did the same this as the OP, now I am stuck on the main "Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Powered by Android" screen. I can boot into TWPR and into download. I have tried flashing zip from external SD card with USB-OTG with no luck, I have tried flashing from Odin, multiple Odin versions tried, multiple usb cords tried, multiple computers tried.. all result with <ID:x/xxx> Can't open serial(COM) port."
No matter what I do, I can't seem to get anything to take, not stock firmware or otherwise. Any suggestions.. donations for anyone who can help me solve. lol $$

In odin under options untick Auto Reboot.
Flash Rom
Phone wont reboot once rom has flashed successfully so you will need to do manual reboot.
Go into recovery mode and wipe data.
Reboot phone
that should help let us know if it works
