Originally, my galaxy S6 began to stop fast charging, and began charging extremely slowly. I bought a wireless charger, and it seemed to work fine. However I logged in to my Snapchat account on a different phone while I was trying to find a charger for the Galaxy. Since my phone is rooted, I was locked out of re-signing into my account on snapchat on the Galaxy S6. So to get into Snapchat I thought I could unroot it by using the Super SU app, but now my phone is stuck in a boot loop. I'm trying to reflash original firmware in ODIN but every time I plug my phone in I get "USB device not recognized" and nothing shows up in ODIN. I just took it to a repair shop and they replaced the charging port for me, and I still get this error. Is this a software thing or did the shop screw me over and my port is still broken (I looked at the port inside and it looks brand new. Maybe they messed up the installation?) I don' think it's FRP Lock, since in ODIN mode it says "FRP LOCK: OFF"
In ODIN Mode i'm given this:
ODIM MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G920T
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
FRP LOCK: OFF
Secure Download: Enabled
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1 (0x030c)
RP SWREV: B:4 K:3 S:3
And Volume Up + Home + Power gives me:

Is it charging when connected to a wall plug?

Correct me if I am wrong, but you are trying to flash a version of kernel that is older than the one currently on the phone, and I have never heard of a successfull downgrade.
Why dont you try emergency initialization through Smart Switch, with sn of the phone, it will flash latest official fw version for that phone.
Afterwards you can root it again, because it will prolly be stuck on logo with official fw.
In case u need help with Smart Switch, i made instructions, so you can check threads created by me in my profile.
When you finally manage to have an operating sw on the phone, you can access USB settings by dialing *#0808#, try changing settings there, but remember original one in case its needed.

I just got my phone back from the repair shop today. Even after replacing the charging port twice, It still is not recognized by the PC. Even when using your method of emergency initialization through smart switch, when I come the part where I have to put my phone into download mode and connect it to the PC It is still not recognized.
Restore your phone to factory settings using Samsung smartswitch.. download link is located in the sidebar on the right, download the windows version and follow the prompts.
This should revert your entire phone to the stock experience across the board, rom, kernel, bootloader, modem the whole package.. if it's a software issue causing your problem this will fix it.

The beauty of android is its extremely difficult for the end user to "brick" their device.. 9/10 it's as simple as flashing stock firmware to resolve any "bricks".
The problem his having is most likely related to his boot.img, supersu asks if you want to "restore a backup".. I'm guessing he said yes, now his stuck in a boot loop.. it's actually a very common problem. I believe I have been in this situation once before.. To be honest I reject any option's to restore any backups that supersu prompt me to from that moment on, never had any issues since.
This issue can easily be solved by restoring a TWRP backup (kernel specifically) or even flashing a new compatible kernel entirely.. however I highly doubt he has any backups otherwise I'm sure he would of tried this already.
However if he does have a kernel zip currently on his device I highly recommend flashing it before restoring using a stock firmware. Otherwise booting into recovery mode is always a option, throw a kernel zip on the SDCARD, flash that and it should resolve this problem. ODIN is another option.. by doing this they may be able to save user data as a factory restore will result in all data being wiped in the process... however this particular user doesnt seem very experienced otherwise I'm sure he would of tried the following already so flashing stock firmware I think is the best option, fool/full proof method.

Can anyone help? I spent a big chunk of my hard earned money on a refurbed S6 for my daughter, she's had it about a week (she's Pokemon mad btw). The latest update for Pokemon Go came out and now she's blocked from the game as it appears the phone has been rooted. If I'd known, I wouldn't have bought it. Anyway, for the last 2 days my partner and I have been trying to unroot it. We've used various versions of Odin to no avail. I had a lot of trouble finding the right firmware because it looks like the phone was Polish according to the version and CSC numbers, and tbh I'm still not sure if we're trying the right one. Software is 5.1.1. right now. I've tried installing SuperSU but it won't run, it just crashes the phone and forces a reboot. We've tried manually unrooting with a file manager but the su files we need to delete reappear seconds after they're deleted. I'm at the end of my tether, does anyone have any ideas?
You won't be able to unroot it until you flash stock firmware. I don't know if the game checks the knox status.
Give this a go

Unforunately my partner spent almost all night trying to flash the firmware. According to him it 'nearly' worked, however, I now have a phone stuck in a boot loop. :crying:

Smart switch won't work, says it doesn't recognise the device
I think I would give original firmware of your country and odin a try. One of possible ways is to download all needed files from the site of sammobile.
For me this way works every time when I stuck in boot loop. Odin functionates when you are in download mode. Switch off your s6, then start by pressing home-, powerbutton and Volume down at the same time.
Then start Odin on PC, then connect USB and so on.

When you select emergency recovery theres an option where you have to write the device model and the serial number
Use kies 3 on your computer. When you get it do a "firmware upgrade and installation" it will ask for your serial number which you can get from download mode when pressing the home key. After that kies 3 will ask to boot your phone to recovery but instead boot to download and bow your phone will flash to stock. This method always work!!

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I've tried Kies already and I can't get it to work at all. I get a message telling me my device is not compatible and the whole thing just stops. I'll give it another go though, no harm in trying. Thanks
@amber_1978, Pokemon Go does not check for root. The only thing it does seem to check for is location spoofing via another app. I'm using it on a rooted, Knox tripped, Xposed installed phone with no issues.
If you want to return the phone back to stock, the best way IMO would be to use Odin to flash a stock image, such as the EPD1 firmware.

Really? Did you do the latest update in the game and it still worked ok? This phone has definitley not been used for location spoofing by us and I'm pretty sure there were no apps of that nature on the phone. I downloaded a root checker when everything went wrong the other day, it said the phone was rooted. I'm totally at a loss tbh. Right now it's still in a boot loop. Trying to flash it with Odin as we speak.
Just an update. Tried Smart Switch. Tried the model and serial numbers on the back of the phone case, these weren't recognised so I went to the recovery screen and hit the home button and got a completely different set of numbers. Different IMEI, model number, you name it. I'm assuming this is why Odin won't work, I'm looking for the wrong firmware? I obviously have Frankenstein's phone. No idea what to do now.
Best thing to do is to flash TWRPP and try to flash a custom stock rom through the TWRP recovery which does not have root installed..... If that doesn't work try to find a generic stock firmware for Odin, meaning a firmware that can run in any country..... If all else fails update it to 6.0.1 stock firmware. Try the closest firmwares to your location.
And if you do manage to get to the Samsung logo let the phone sit there for a good 10 minutes even if it reboots....
When I bricked my Samsung I used masiks custom 6.0.1 rom based on stock, but had all the links to bootloaders cscs radios and what not so giv that a shot if you can find it.

Hi,
So I was trying to root my phone and it all went wrong. I have rooted tons of phones before, but never a Samsung (never again).
The phone will show the Samsung Boot screen, but then it either goes black, with a flashing blue LED, or it boots itself into recovery.
When I use ODIN, the flash fails at "system.img.ext4" whenever I use just the AP field. If I load all the fields in, it fails at "xbl.elf"
I got the firmware file from SamMobile, so I don't think that is the issue, but who knows. It's as if the phone no longer has an OS on it. I also tried using SmartSwitch as well, but I have no idea what the S/N on this phone is. It was originally a Sprint phone and was working fine, but I could never find the S/N. It is nowhere on the phone itself, and was not listed when I typed #*06#. All I have is the IMEI.
Finally, when it is in recovery, there is a message at the bottom that reads, "dm-verity verification failed".
Sorry for the bullet point style here, I am on mobile. If anyone can assist, I would be very grateful!

I may try this as well. I flashed the newest firmware I could find other than Nougat and I now have it booting all the way up and then after about a minute, it loops again. It is at least further along than before.
I just remembered one detail: The original issue began when I flashed a modified boot.img to the phone during a rooting attempt. Could this be what is still causing the issue and preventing a reformatting of the phone from solving the issue? So lost with this thing...
Try with latest firmware + pit file + tick re-partition

Sorry to revive this thread but did this work cause its currently happening to me
If your phone is an original, S/N may be engraved in the back... it's a little bit hard to note but put a spotlight near it so that you can identify it better.
hhh ^^
Ok, here goes.
Have a SM-G930W8 (Canada, Rogers, S7). Was running a 7.0 ROM from XDA (ambassadii? sp?). I disabled developer options to check a possible issue transferring files from my PC to the S7's SD Card. I restarted the device.
Custom binary blocked by FRP lock. No problem, thought I. I'll boot into Download Mode, fire up Odin and flash the stock rom back to the device (also what I've read in most every thread I've come across). Launch ODIN as admin, see the device is connected, select the proper AP(also BL, CSC and CP...I'm thorough) file to flash (from Sammobile I think it was), make sure repartition is unchecked and hit Start.
Here's the result...wait I can't post them but I have the screen shots! The phone shows Secure Check Fail (PIT). Odin gives an error at that step as well.
I've tried Kies (there's no SN anywhere on my device or on the box) so that doesn't work. Smart Switch, same issue.
Does ANYONE out there have any clue what I can attempt next? Sending it in for service will likely cost as much as a new device, with the warranty void. Thank you very much in advance.

Are you able to boot into recovery?
If not you could try to ONLY flash the stock recovery>boot recovery>wipe everything then boot to download mode and flash complete stock firmware via odin.
or flash stock firmware with the same CSC as your custom rom has/ flash "HOME_CSC" instead of "CSC..."
good luck

Try to only flash AP, I did have the same problem as you describe but I cant remember how I resolved it, I'm on G930F tho
Your S/N is on the rear of the phone it can be a pain to see but it is there. Use smart switch to restore the firmware. Just click emergency firmware restore.
It is? The IMEI is there but I didn't see the SN. Also my phone is black so that doesn't help.
I will have another look.

I did that. No dice.
I had the same issue as you. Used the same rom and disabled developer options. I downloaded stock firmware.. flashed it with odin. It actually took 2 tries. The first time I could see only 1/4 of the screen. The second time i flashed stock firmware from another country and it worked. You might actually have to do a hard factory reset if you cant unlock your phone.. for some reason. Then I let kies do its magic because I could then see my S/N. Right now I still feel my phone slightly different. Messenger is unstable for some reason also.
Ok.
Checked the back of the device for a SN#. Mine's black so I used a flashlight. It's not there. The Model #, IMEI, FCC ID# and IC# are all there. Does someone have a blurred out screeny of where THEY found their SN# on the back of the device?
Tried flashing with Odin the CSC(home) and AP files (stock MM from my region). Got: Custom Binary (Boot) blocked by FRP Lock.
Tried flashing TWRP again, to TRY to enter into recovery...same message.
With just the AP selected, ODIN seems to hang at "Get PIT for mapping" and fails. I'm running it again to make sure it's not a bad connection with the device.
Same result, hangs at "Get PIT for mapping".

Try to flash Nougat firmware, as that was what your custom rom was on right? I dont think it really matters though as I downgraded from stock 7.0 to stock 6.0.1 via odin without errors... But you can try
As an absolute last resort I would try to check the "re-partition"-tab and provide odin with a .pit file, then load everything (BL, AP, CP...) with stock firmware <<<< do this at your own risk, if you are not careful, your phone will be bricked
I am trying to flash MM back to it .
I'm not sure I want to mess with the re partition table...But it's already soft bricked.
Mine is also black. The S/N Is immediately next to the imei number I had to use a flash light to see it but it's deffinatly there.

I'm not sure then. Have you tried flashing the latest unlocked version for your region? I remember on my s6 I had a similar problem that was caused because I was trying to flash a lower version of Android than what I previously had. So ended up flashing the latest unlocked version BTU for my region and it worked. Sorry I can't be of more help. It looks like the latest firmware is still 6.0.1 that's why it's blocking it from downgrading.
Was sent a PM by a person. Was skeptical at first, but in 10 minutes using TeamViewer, they fixed the issue by reflashing the device (as well as repartitioning it properly). I can't thank them enough.

Come on man, if you had a snapdragon version, you can't root or even get that far.
yes i can get into the screen where it says downloading do not turn off
It does look like it's the usual snapdragon variant, yeah. You need the Exynos version for its unlocked bootloader, if you want root and whatnot.
Honestly unless you have specific reasons for root, you probably don't need it.
I was pleasantly surprised at how much I don't miss it so far, but I can't speak for everyone else. I know Brava27 wouldn't dare.
Edit: Okay good. So the Stock ROM is basically the factory image always intended for your phone, from Samsung. You just have to find and download that, then flash it as usual via Odin.
PLEASE triple check around and do your research on whether this link provides you the right one, but here is a first-hit I found when searching for a stock rom for your model. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/sm-g955f-stock-odin-firmware-t3585022
brilliant thank you i will give it a try
does it unroot it also if i flash it back to stock and put knox back to normal or is that history now ?
That's right, it's completely stock, so it'd be like you got the phone fresh. It'll be unrooted if you get it working.
So that said, ensure your SIM is in the phone before you set it up, or it'll reset on you again when you insert it later.
I'm not sure what Knox's status would be and if the e-fuse has triggered... you'll know when you're powering on the device, I think. It's no real matter, unless you're concerned about warranty. In which case, you were going to stop caring about that right after attempting to root anyway.
I'm still not certain on what firmware file you want. Might want to search around for something that matches your carrier.
once you root knox is triggered forever, no way to use samsung pay or samsung health in stock not rooted firmware.

can you use them on rooted devices with knox triggered ?
No, I was not able to use Samsung Pay on my Note 5 after I tripped knox. It does some sort of security check on start-up of the app.
The bigger question is whether it "rooted" yet or not. With some luck, the e-fuse has not triggered yet and it's a clean device still.

yes with custom roms can be done or with some build.prop mods too.
So the snapdragon version is not rootable? Damn, I didn't know that.
woohoo somehow and i have no idea how i managed to get it working again and its rooted
couple of things though now its rooted
i have a security notice always popping up saying there is a problem with my phone and it needs repaired, how do i stop that ?
i found a post about changing a 1 to a 0 to get s health working but when i edit it and try to save it i get error read only file unable to save.
the main reason i wanted it rooted was to stop the annoying heads up display so i installed the noheadsup app which said it installed but i cannot see it on my phone anywhere to change the settings
also the battery drain , normally overnight it uses about 5% battery, last night 32% overnight
apart from that it all seems to be working as normal thanks to the help from people on here

Totaly different sittuation but I think I have this right from what you say in this thread.
That Knox being tripped cant be reversed? and that Knox is a fuse so it cant be bypassed with otg cable backup?
Good day everyone. I am totally new to this and on here but hope is something I came with and will always be a part of my beliefs.. I did flash my Samsung S7 SM-G930F a couple of times with different kind of custom ROMS and I guess I upgraded the bootloader by doing so... So now I was in TWRP mode and without thinking, I started to change the DATA format and immediately switched it off when I realized what exactly I'm doing and now it's stuck. It can switch on only with a charger and by force but I am capable of getting into download mode. I am trying to flash a stock ROM but it keeps on failing cause of the bootloader. When I use the PIT file, it shows successful though. But nothing more happens. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Good day everyone. I am totally new to this and on here but hope is something I came with and will always be a part of my beliefs.. I did flash my Samsung S7 SM-G930F a couple of times with different kind of custom ROMS and I guess I upgraded the bootloader by doing so... So now I was in TWRP mode and without thinking, I started to change the DATA format and immediately switched it off when I realized what exactly I'm doing and now it's stuck. It can switch on only with a charger and by force but I am capable of getting into download mode. I am trying to flash a stock ROM but it keeps on failing cause of the bootloader. When I use the PIT file, it shows successful though. But nothing more happens. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I don't own an S7 so maybe not much help.
From screen shot above try using Odin version 3.13.1 or higher.
Can you post a screen shot of download mode and Odin when it fails
If you can still get into download mode there should be a line saying AP SWREV: B:? K:? S:? or something similar.
The B:? is your bootloader version number. You will need to flash firmware with this number or higher.

Thank you for the response I managed to get it fixed. I used odin 3.14 instead and I wiped it with the NAND option and started from scratch. I used the pit file and flushed the bootloader first with repartition, then did the AP separete, and thats how I went on. After all, I'm back again. Thank you for trying, much appreciated.
