Hello,
A bit of back story first - yesterday, my mother's Galaxy S6 (SM-G920F) suddenly rebooted to the device's logo screen ( the "Samsung Galaxy S6....powered by android" one) and it's been stuck there since. There had been no "tinkering" so to say with the device; debugging was disabled, the bootloader had not been tampered with at all, and all the updates were done through the official android route. The last major update was around a month ago, to Nougat from MM, after which I cleared the cache. The latest update was about 10 days ago, a minor Nougat one, but the cache had not been wiped.
Now down to business. The phone does not turn off at all. Holding the power button and the volume down just reboots it to the same screen. That being such, I cannot access recovery mode. I can however access Download Mode which makes be believe that all hope is not lost.
Using Odin, I attempted to flash a stock ROM, which for this model was Android v5.1.1, and now I understand why that wouldn't work. At this point instead of the logo screen, it showed a blue screen saying something along the lines of "An error has occurred while updating your phone, please use Smart Switch emergency recovery". I had tried to connect to smart switch before but it wouldn't recognize the device. I was saving initialization as a last resort.
I then flashed the most recent MM ROM for this model (which I found on sammmobile) using Odin, having read it was possible to still downgrade, and believing that perhaps Nougat was causing this problem. And it was successful, except the phone now returned to the logo screen. Again, with the same problems as before. And I still couldn't wipe the data and cache because I still couldn't access recovery mode.
Finally I connected the phone to Smart Switch and chose to initialize it. After going through all the steps, and downloading the files, it said it was successful but the phone is still stuck at the damn logo screen. I can still access download mode for what it's worth but I haven't a clue now as to what I should do next.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Odin log says that there's no problem.
The produce I've wrote above is the last think you can do on new Samsung devices.

Do you have any idea what could have caused this issue? Would changing the motherboard be guaranteed to fix this and if so, how?

Replacing motherboard will not help You unless You have a way to program EFS and IMEI information to it.

This is a post I made previously about a year ago. Yesterday I picked the phone back up and tried to figure things out again. A year ago I never really got anywhere. I have never flashed anything or used Odin.
This is how far I got yesterday and I am looking for some advice. I tried flashing a stock ROM via Odin because the guy who commented said I should try that. So yesterday I did.
This is the site I followed.
https://devs-lab.com/how-to-unbrick-...xy-note-5.html
I downloaded Odin3 v3.10.0. I then downloaded Samsung Keys to install the usb driver but it wouldn't even detect the phone. That didn't work so I went here to get the drivers installed.http://www.samsung.com/us/support/ow...y-note5-sprint
I then downloaded the stock Rom the website had on it that matched the Product name SM-n920P that comes up when the phone is in download mode.
http://stockroms.net/file/GalaxyNote...T2BPC3_SPR.zip
After that finally downloaded I extracted the Rom to the desktop. I opened Odid clicked on AP like the website said and clicked Start. I then received a Nand Write Start error and nothing happens.
Here is a picture of what Odin looks like when I tried to do it.
http://i.imgur.com/31hTrq3.jpg
Thank you for your help and if I sound like a moron I am sorry I am not very experience when it comes to this.
- When you add the tar.md5 file don't remove the .md5, it will verify the file integrity and may take a few minutes to do so.
- You must be in download mode to use Odin. When you attach the phone, one of the squares should light up telling you which com port is attached.
- You might be blocked from flashing older firmware, PC3 is rather old. Try a newer firmware. All firmwares are available in my repository:
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/byye3kocz6nn4/Stock_Roms_Note_5
Files are zipped. Unzip and place the tar.md5 in AP.

I forgot to mention I did have the phone in download mode when I previously attempted to download that file on Odin.
I think I just added the file I didn't know the .md5 got removed. Should I add it a different way to make sure it isn't removed.
Which firmware in the repository should I use? They all look like the same thing to me. Except for the one at the end that says full wipe.
Should I just download one of the newer firmwares on that list and put the phone into download mode and give it another go? If so which file and how?
Again thank you for your help and I apologize if you have already told me something and I just didn't understand.
Don't mess with file extension.
They aren't listed chronologically but alphabetically, pd is newer than pc3 and so on. Try pd2 first maybe.
Alright thanks bro I appreciate all your help and understanding. I will try the 2nd one like you said. It says it will take 2 hours to download so I can use it on Odin and give it a try. I will post an update later crossing my fingers this works.

try a different cable, try the cable in a different usb port or try it on another computer too if that doesn't work.
You could also try taking it to the sprint store and having them flash it for you. I think they might charge a fee for that, so ask first.

Alright I tried them all again with a new cord and a different port. When my cousin gave me the phone I don't think the contract was left in a good standing. Would providing them with the phone show up under his name and possibly make them not want to do it? Also any idea on how much they may charge if you had to guess? I'm really strapped for cash right now and am trying to fix this phone for my dad because his phone is messing up and we can't afford another phone. Do you think I should try to flash some different ones off the list you provided and give it a shot? I was hoping to fix it at home because I'm not sure what Sprint will say when I go up there. Here are the retries. Thanks again for all the help, sorry it keeps being such a hassle.

I don't know what Sprint charges, it used to be $35. They may not look at it if there is no active account for it anyway.
Maybe check with some local cell third party phone shops and ask what they would charge to flash the factory image back to the phone.
I suggest you to change usb cable, reinstall drivers on pc, use a different usb port, if still same try on a different computer. It looks like phone isn't in download mode in logs from odin

I think it's been in download mode it says downloading and do not turn off target. Do you think maybe I have a bad version of Odin or installed the wrong drivers. Do these drivers look correct for this phone?
I downloaded the drivers here because the phone wouldn't pick up on Keis or smartswitch to do it.

Yes version ver. 1.5.45.00 looks fine.
Uninstall kies & smartswitch if they are installed and also the Samsung driver suite. Reboot and just install the drivers alone. They may be conflicting.
Don't forget to change usb port from pc that you are using now with another one and see if any changes

Ok I finally got it guys. I tried it ob my other computer and everything worked like a charm! The note is working great and lets me into it. Thank you so much for all you're help. I couldn't of done it alone. I just have one more question now. My dad is on AT&T is there a way I can unlock the phone to use the Sprint Note 5 on AT&T for my dad? I have the old sim card that my cousin left in it. It is a AT&T card for some reason not sure why. I thought about calling Sprint and asking them to do it but I don't have an account with them. Any more suggestions on what should do now to get the phone to work for my Dad on AT&T?:fingers-crossed:

There's a tool for that but it is difficult to use.
You should verify the phone has a clean esn, you can google that.
You wont be able to activate the phone on any U.S. carrier if the meid has been blacklisted anyway.

I got into the phone last night the FRP was already off. I guess when my cousin had it a year ago it had been turned off. So I hard reset the phone and it worked. Right now all you can do is use it on wifi. I'm gonna get the ESN checked and make sure it is clean then hopefully I can take it to Sprint and they will unlock it so I can use it at attached.
So I went to root the phone and I did so with CF Auto Root. I went into Super Su and decided it was not what I was looking for. I was hoping for more of a GUI TWRP system and decided to unroot and factory restore the phone. I'm stressed to the point where i have no memory of how the phone got screwed up at this point. Here is what I do know.
When I power the device on normally it is frozen at the Samsung Galaxy S6 boot page and at the top it says KERNEL REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE 3 BINARY 2. Is this because I have the wrong firmware on the device? Is there any way I can get the bootloader, the firmware and everything else and just restore everything at once? Samsung Smart Switch fails to recover the device and I would absolutely love to do an emergency recovery, but it keeps asking for a code from a previous computer and I have no idea what it's talking about.
Any help would be appreciated.

Try with another usb cable, another usb port or another PC.
I bought an official samsung charger and fixed it. I think the old charger was disconnecting during the smart switch initialization process.
Any way to fix knox?
Hello guys,
I got a second hand J3 (J330FN) and I'm trying to flash TWPR in download mode, But i keep getting the FRP lock come up (Not at boot but when i try to flash something)
My understanding is without the person who owned the phone before me logging in (so they can remove the lock) I cant get access to flashing?
So; can i just flash the firmware after a wipe of the cache and factory reset as I've seen described on other forums / videos?
Edit; OEM is already ticked

If oem_,unlock is already enabled then you are likely rmm locked. If you see RMM Prenormal in download mode you will need to wait 7 days until you can flash anything.
Thanks for reply. So I had more problems with this phone. I've managed to flash the TWPR but now boot loops, wiped everything in the hope that it would at least wipe (First few times I just got errors)... so now i have a phone with TWRP on it and no custom roms to install?
I've got an A3 running lineageOS 15.1.... was hoping I could use the same rom but I'm currently unable to find a source.
I've tried flashing the custom rom back from sammobile but It copies something and then resets. nothing comes up on the screen, but its back lit.

Confused. Why did you wipe your rom?
because it was erroring when I was trying to wipe cache so I thought it wouldnt work, but it did.... Have I broke it?

Which error?
I dont know. I cant remember, was red, Thought it wouldn't make a difference if I could flash another rom because it would just fill up where the old rom was.
Is there a reason I wouldn't be able to flash the stock rom back tho? Then I can start again....
I tried the CSC file not the CSC_Home and its been stuck like this for like 15 mins

also tried older version of odin which has the same result.
Edit: odin 3.13 worked
Hi so found a guide on magisk on how to root s8+, but the version of twrp they used didnt accept touch input, so had to reboot the phone. I then flashed the latest twrp for that phone from the twrp website, but then when I went to wipe the data from twrp it said it couldnt mount some folders.
Anyway, so figured I should just wipe and start again. Downloaded latest stock firmware, loaded up the 4 files in Odin. if I use home_csc, the flashing process finishes in like 5 seconds saying successful, it should take longer since it needs to flash ap etc too but it doesn't seem to do that (but odin still says successful).
If I flash the normal CSC file instead, odin get stuck on "set partition"

Try to boot into recovery mode and factory reset again, and then instead of downloading the latest firmware, try to find a older firmware for you device and see if you can flash that

Glad to hear you got it figured out? When you used older Odin, where you able to use latest firmware ?
So... I screwed up badly. I'm a noob and I was trying to get root access on my S7. I first followed this guide on the xda forums to step 15. While following this I had issues writing \data for the backup so I changed the partition from EXT2 to EXT3 fixing the issue. Then I was advised by someone that I shouldn't be following such an outdated guide and he sent me this one. But instead of going through the whole thing I only went from the part where I install the newest TWRP and everything worked. After a reboot on the the phone I booted into android and it was like after a factory reset with everything fine. I set some stuff on the phone up but didn't enable OEM unlock. Then the phone couldn't boot android with the FRP error. So I tried installing the stock firmware from here and that kept failing. Now whe I try to boot regularly instead of the samsung bootscreen with the FRP Lock error I get a light blue screen telling me to use the smart switch but ss didn't help me (it recognizes the phone and that something is wrong but the integrate fix option doesn't recognize the phone).
In odin I get this error when trying to flash the stock rom I linked to (Odin v 3.13) :

I can get my phone to currently only boot into the download mode and the broken boot mode where it tells me to use smart switch
If anyone has any idea on what I could do to to somehow restore the phone or to get it to a semi functioning state I'd be very grateful.
I'm currently downloading a stock rom from another website: https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s7/firmware/SM-G930F/AUT/#SM-G930F 2020-03-26 edition and will try it out once it's downloaded.
[EDIT] No luck with the different ROM, still the exact same issue.
Snapdragon or exynos?
SM-G930F=exynos more roms etc.
eg. Galaxy S7 G930U is = snapdragon USA version
mb. u try flash exynos rom having snap device?
