last night i went to sleep with m galaxy s6 g920f STOCK 5.1.1 had a fair amount of battery left in t. When a woke up in the morning my phone was dead i thought the battery would have been consumed . I plugged it in charged it . Now when i try to turn it on it just jo to "samsung Galxy s6" logo ,screen becomes a bit yellowish and the phone restarts same thing is happening again and again.
Now i have tried to reinstall to odin, then going into recovery factory reset cache but same results. anyone please help this phone was running stock os so... i have searchd the web but there are no ways to fix it ...
Regards
any help please !
guys i need your help please
I would suggest you download a ROM from Sammmobile that corresponds to your country and install that via ODIN and if that doesn't work try one from a different country or one tha is unknown (I.E. that doesn't belong to a any country), I softbricked my phone trying to install H3G for UK and for what ever reason it would not install. However...
I downloaded one called BTU and that worked using this app SamFirm. To get my version I installed type the Model number SM-G920F and Region BTU to download, once it has downloaded then decrypt the file by clicking the Decrypt button and unzip the decrypted file and then use ODIN to install that one. Using the SamFirm app downlaods it faster and gets the latest from Samsung as far as I am concerned. Good Luck.

The only thing I can think of is trying one from your country and trying any other one. You can use the SamFirm software to download different versions, else I think your phone is broken for some unknown reason and you will have to get it fixed under the warranty. Or install the Samsung Smart Switch from samsung and get the firmware installed that way via the Emergency Software and recovery mode, but it will wipe everything and do a factory reset. Also you will need the serial number and model number of your phone.
OK, no matter what method I try I am unable to achieve a successful flash of my phone. I have tried it via odin with many different firmware versions but all seem to fail almost immediately. The only way to resolve this is to use samsung switch and reset phone to stock. The problem is stock firmware is german vodafone full of vodafone bloatware, I want to get rid of it and flash a UK unbranded firmware but no matter what I do I am unable to achieve this. I can see from the forum that there are many people out there with the same flashing problem but with no real responses on how to achieve the goal. There must be people out there that have achieved this task but don't seem to be offering up much help?
ok

Is your phone international unlocked out of the box? I dont believe it was, because as far as I've read international unlocked phones come with "unbranded" firmware. The unlocked ones I know can be pretty much flashed with "any" international firmware, which is what you are trying to do.
If you dont know for sure. Odin the stock German Vodaphone. Let the phone boot. Boot back to stock recovery, then factory reset and clear cache.
Then let the phone boot...Download phone info app by vndnguyen (free version is fine)...Open the app, go to CSC Code tab. Then that will tell you the active CSC code and your firmware CSC code...you are looking for the line that says Available CSC Codes. If it only lists German Vodaphone (VD2), then I believe you are stuck til the phone is unlocked.
Anyone, jump in here if I'm mistaken. I am using this as reference as, I've checked my G920F. Mine is unlocked tho and I can flash any firmware from any region with no problem. Hopefully I've answered your question.
I had no luck with the firmwares on the firmware page either.
If you are on OI9 check http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/guide-android-6-0-marshmallow-beta-how-t3277533
And try flashing the first stock firmware https://drive.google.com/folderview...sharing&tid=0B40ItdHKfkyQd1hJQXVDU3dDU2c#list (not the android M one!) via ODIN.
Basic process is:
Download the above file, extract, there should be 4 files inside (AP,BL,CP,CSC), simply select each one to go in the relevant box on ODIN, then go into download mode on your phone and click start...
N.B. Be aware that the above firmware contains a PIT file which will reformat and resize the partitions on your phone, so make sure you have a copy of the stock firmware that works before trying the flash (i.e. the one which Smart Switch downloads). You can grab it from your windows %TEMP% directory during the smart switch download (it first downloads a file to TMPxxx, then extracts it into a directory of the same name, its these files you want. They should be the four files beginning with the type of ODIN file you are flashing (AP,BL,CP,CSC). The files get deleted after the firmware has flashed so make sure you watch the process. If things go wrong you can re-flash these files via ODIN
As far as I was led to believe and when I purchased the phone it did state factory unlocked. I was able to put in any sim when I received it and didn't have to go through any aftermarket unlock process?
I have the same problem i have a unlocked G-920F with egyptian CSC and firmware 5.1.1 .when i try to flash BTU 5.1.1 via odin, i have the same problem and only way to recover is via smart switch.BTU firmware is from sammobile

Press "thanks" if i have helped
Well downloaded the app for CSC info and it states available CSC codes are...
ATL, AVF, CNX, CYV, MOB, MTL, OMN, SIM, SWC, TCL, VD2, VDC, VDF, VDH, VDI, VGR, VIP & VOD
Any ideas?
Ok, tried to get stock firmware when samsung smart switch was downloading and installing but couldn't see where the firmware was being downloaded to? Tried windows temp etc but nothing appeared during download and install?

Just type in %TEMP% into you windows explorer address bar and it will take you there. arrange by date modified and you will see the size ticking up during the download, before the flash starts it will extract into a folder with the same name, the md5 files can be grabbed from there
No probs here

Ok, Got it this time, all four files. Will give the method above a go and if it fails at least I've got the stock firmware to fall back on?
Magic, have had great success. Now on the BTU firmware and everything is up and running. Got the stock as well just in case but if this continues to work won't be reinstalling stock. So a big thanks to those who helped

Glad you are sorted
I have a Galaxy s6 SM-G920W8 which I originally bought from WindMobile in Canada. I switched Carriers to Koodo so when I did that I changed the CSC to Koodo's.
I have not yet received the OTA yet and I wanna get onto MM.
How can I do that, and after i do it will i still be able to receive OTA/Updates in the future?
My phone is not rooted.
Important thing: I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE ANY DATA ON THE PHONE. When I changed CSC's I didn't know it would wipe all my data, that was horrible.
Just download one of 6.0.1 firmware with your device's carrier, connect your phone to PC in download mode and flash the firmware via Odin3 v3.11.1
You can get Odin3 v3.11.1 here;

Your data won't be deleted.

Finally on marshmallow
Hello,
I am new to this site so sorry if I'm doing something wrong. My Dad recently somehow (soft?) bricked his S7. Sometimes it gets to the lock screen, but then completely freezes after a few seconds and it has to be forced off. Other times it has given me a black screen with the error:
Bootloader exception
[ RST_STAT = 0x1000000 ]
Exception: do_handler_sync: UNKNOWN(esr: 0x2000000)
! @ @ @ @ D @
pc : 0x8f000a00 lr: 0x8f000048 sp: 0x0206f (cut off here)
'
And other times it has frozen at the boot screen and the screen has become pixelated.
So, after trying Kies (useless), waiting 24 hours and attempting to connect it to adb and fastboot (which I presume isn't really possible), I have resorted to using Odin to flash TWRP 3 onto the phone. However, when I try to flash the .tar (twrp-3.0.0-0-herolte.img.tar and also the latest one), no matter what USB port or cable or PC I use, it always goes straight to "NAND Write Start!!" and goes no further.
Any help would be appreciated as my Dad needs his phone back ASAP.
Thanks.
Side Note: I'm flashing it so I can recover his data, then I'm going to flash the factory firmware onto it.

Hi mate
First what s7 model do you have?
Make sure you are using the latest odin?
oding settings?
flash same or newer firmware on the phone
What files are flashing?
Check this thread is a nice guide for flashing stock firmware

Hey.
I can't check the model as the phone is bricked. All I know is there are only two versions and I'm pretty sure it's not Korea. I'm not flashing any firmware, because I want to get his data off the phone and I'm pretty sure flashing firmware will erase user data. Just trying to get TWRP onto the phone. Odin settings: F. Reset Time ticked, nothing else. Odin version: Odin 3 v3.09. Flashing the .img.tar file as specified in my post.
Thanks.

hi mate
there are more than two versions of S7...... how you know you are flashing the right image? at least you know if you have an Exynos version?
If the phone is bricked how you plan to recover the data the recovery alone may not give you access to the rest of the system and with a custom rom you may have to wipe ( format) the data partition to get access to it ( to disable samsung encryption)
there is a newer odin 3.12.3 try that

All I know is that this is shown when I boot into recovery:
Android Recovery
MMB29K.G930FXXU1BPHJ
samsung/heroltexx/herolte
6.0.1/MMB29K/G930FXXU1BPHJ
user/release-keys
I don't know if that helps at all. In terms of recovering the data, the site I'm following instructions from says there is a Mount > USB Storage option in TWRP, which is why I am doing it.
Thanks

Hi mate
Yes , you have a G930F (Exynos) the TWRP image you were using seem right , regarding this , if you install TWRP in order to access the System /data where all the user apps , info, pictures , mail , configurations ..... is you need to format it , that partition is encrypted only Samsung can access it , TWRP does not support it unless you disable it by formatting it ( AKA erasing everything), mount the phone as USB device it may give access to some partition but it will not give you access to the System/ data ( unless you had formated it before)
If you knew what was the phone CSC you could flash a stock firmware without loosing anything, you use home_csc instead of CSC

is up to you ..... there should be safe almost 100% sure you should not lose any data.....but there is always a chance
Download firmware from the above link , extract ( un rar , use winrar 7zip) 5 files from the zip file , should be AP, BL, CP, CSC and home_csc , DO NOT USE CSC use all the other 4 files and flash them with Odin ( use the latest download link in the next link i will give you) with the same home_csc as is on your phone there should not be a factory reset .....all data is preserved........hopefully we have it

Alright, thank you very much for your active support. A few questions, obviously I cannot activate PIN in Secure Startup, will that affect anything? Also which slot do I put the HOME_CSC in? What exactly is the HOME_CSC?

Anytime mate
Your father did not have any pin or password set up before? if that is so use this password default_password when asked for
home_csc goes in the CSC slot in Odin , Country Specific Code it has specific information and or configuration for special services offered by your carrier plus determines when you get an OTA , when you change CSC you have to factory reset if you keep the same CSC ( home_csc) is not mandatory

Download the firmware from sammobile ( first link) extract the 5 files as i told , then you you have two options
1 Extract files ( sammobile) , use the home_csc ( plus the other 4) from them and flash with odin
2 Extract files ( sammobile) save home_csc , go to the second link ( guide) download the firmware from there BUT use the home _csc file you saved ( extracted) from the firmware from sammobile , this is key to not lose any data

hey mate
Sorry to hear that , try something else , see if you can boot in safe mode
1. Power off the phone by holding down the power button for a few seconds.
2. Press and hold the power button until the Galaxy logo appears on screen.
3. Press and hold the volume down button and release the power button.
4. Hold volume down until the phone has fully booted.
5. You should see ‘Safe mode’ in the bottom left of the screen.
if that does not work my last oftion woul be a factory reset before of thinking on a hardware problem.....
Hi Guys,
I have a British Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F). I flashed (using the latest ODIN) a Dutch firmware on it that I downloaded from sammobile, but during the proces it was stuck on system.img. The phone doesn't start anymore. I triend to flash back the original firmware but it also was stuck on system.img. I also tried other firmwares, but no luck. The only thing I can do with the phone is getting to the Download mode.
I have done a lot of research online to get it working but no chance. The phone had FRP LOCK before I flashed it. Does that cause the problem?
Could you please advise me at this matter? It is really frustrating.
Hello,

Smart Switch is app by samsung, it's available on their website.

What version of ODIN are you using?

I have noticed you are using DRA9 firmware. You need to use software that also has bootloader in same version. Any other will not work.

United Kingdom (H3G) - G930FXXS2DRA9 (7.0)
I assume that this one has the same bootloader version.

How do you flash firmware then if you just have access to the Download mode on a phone and FRP LOCK is ON?
From what I've read FRP only affects the system and your ability to use android and access the partition data after performing a Factory Reset from outside the system (using for example a custom recovery). It should not stop you from flashing a rom in Download mode. I remember myself being in the same trouble as you are, with system getting stuck while flashing. I can't remember how I solved it. I'll search my chrome bookmarks and report back.
Have you tried changing the usb port (the one your are connecting the phone to) and/or the usb cable?

Same way you would if FRP lock was off, as that is the way to fix FRP lock
ODIN 3.12.3 or newer
Put phone in download mode
Connect to PC USB
Check Re-partition in ODIN options if changing CSC (Might be an idea anyway)
Flash AP, CP, BL and CSC together
Allow phone to reboot

Newest bootloader (DRA#) locks phone for changing csc and downgrade, but that mainly fails at loading "param.bin" in odin. There is still a possibility to change CSC or downgrade, but you have to mix and match two different firmwares.

I tried to flash the original firmware back but no luck.
United Kingdom (H3G) - G930FXXS2DRA9 (7.0)
I assume that this one has the same bootloader version.

Try flashing BTU then.

From what I've read FRP only affects the system and your ability to use android and access the partition data after performing a Factory Reset from outside the system (using for example a custom recovery). It should not stop you from flashing a rom in Download mode.

That is totally correct.

I have just tried to flash BTU (G930FXXS2DRAA)... I got the same result as by the original firmware. See attachement
Next step... Another computer.

Same way you would if FRP lock was off, as that is the way to fix FRP lock
ODIN 3.12.3 or newer
Put phone in download mode
Connect to PC USB
Check Re-partition in ODIN options if changing CSC (Might be an idea anyway)
Flash AP, CP, BL and CSC together
Allow phone to reboot

Do you mean that I have to Check re-partition? I thought that I'm not supposed to do that!
I tried to flash just the AP, but still the same problem. see attachment.
In case it helps somebody to see the problem, I took a picture of the info I see on the Download mode. See attachment.
That System Status: custom makes me wonder if this could be the issue? That should not really have anything to do with it, but did you try doing "Wipe Cache Partition" and "Wipe Data/Factory reset" in recovery?

Tried it. No luck!
Hi Guys,
I have tried other USB-cables... I have tried 4 of them and one them solved the issue.
I can now conclude that the USB-cables I was using were not good.
Thanks for the answers guys.
Well. nice that you found the culprit. Try to buy an official USB cable from one of the Samsung Service Centers near you. The offcial cable is cheap.. like 5-6 USD the 1m long and 8USD the 1.5m long ones
