[HELP]G920F XME bricked.

Hey guys,
I accidentally flashed the CF-autoroot for 5.0.2 (I forgot there is no root yet for 5.1.1) right after updating to 5.1.1. Now, I'm stuck on the Downloading screen with no access to recovery. When I tried flashing stock recovery(after converting from img to tar.md5) from the Stock tar.md5 it game a NAND Write Start FAIL. I can't flash the stock firmware (G920FXXU1AOCZ) either it gives me the same NAND error.
I have no idea what to do next. Any help will be appreciated. I'll probably head to a customer care center tomorrow if I can't figure this out by then. Please any and all ideas welcome.

Are you using Odin 3.10.6?

Exit from Download mode by pressing and hold both volume up and down button + home button + power button for a few seconds. After this you will exit download mode. Once screen turns off press and hold volume down + home button + power button. This will bring you to menu prior to download mode. Restart odin. Connect your device to your PC. Press volume up. Reflash your 5.1.1. Don't make the same mistake twice.

I have this same problem, I can only access download mode I CANNOT get into recovery. May I ask where I can download the 5.1.1 software from? I flashed from smart switch but now I am bricked smart switch does not pick up the device. My S6 is the varient mentioned here. Please, please, please someone help with a link. Thank you.

There is no 5.1.1 firmware yet for G920FXXU1AOCZ. If you have a link or can upload one I'd be very grateful. Also I can flash any 5.1.1 G920FXXU1AOCZ firmware right?

From what country do come from or where you bought your S6?

Based on the CSC (XME) you mentioned on your title you can try flashing this G920F 5.1.1 Malaysian ROM via Odin:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/49468/G920FXXU2BOFO_G920FOLB2BOFF_XME/

I am in the UK and I bought it from O2

Here you go UK O2 5.1.1:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/49735/G920FXXU2BOFJ_G920FTEF2BOF1_O2U/

I am in India bought it from Malaysia. My phone is XME-G920F. I was just able to flash another 5.1.1 ROM from another Asian region (XEF). Somehow that worked. Sadly now I have to fix region lock since I didnt make a call before leaving Malaysia.

Reflash using the Malaysian 5.1.1 posted above.

Will that fix sim lock ?

Hi, I just recently got a UK S6. (SM-G920F) I'm not sure where to really begin other than when I go to try to enter download mode it goes to a screen that appears like the stock android recovery only everything is in Chinese I believe. (Yes I'm holding volume down, home button, and power button) But no download screen comes up. And I'm pretty sure its running a custom rom because of the boot animation when it powers up (says datuyo) and there's no option to download an ota update. All I'm trying to do is go back to fully stock (I'm in America on AT&T). Build number is KTU84P.G920FZCU1ANIF if that helps. Also below it it says "Custom build version" which is I9296.MHD.C.B-V3.0_0508. I"m not sure what this means, but that's my situation, ANY help would be appreciated.

I think I bricked my Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G920I

Ok, so I tried to root my phone using odin and cf auto but at the end of the process when my phone got rebooted I was stuck on the logo screen for ages and this small red text showed at the top saying something like recovery is not seandroid enforcing. So after searching through solutions I tried formatting the phone but when I tried to go into recovery mode it just rebooted back to the logo screen. So I then tried to reinstall the firmware but after doing this Odin said failed and then my phone got rebooted and is now stuck on the message "An error has ccured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software." But Samsung Kies and Smart Switch says my device is not supported and when I try to go into recovery or download mode the phone just turns of and goes back to the error screen. Can anyone please help me. This is a new phone and my parents would kill me if they found out I screwed it up already.

Hello,
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
Your thread will be moved to Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting.You'll get support from the experts there.

Put your phone in download mode and use odin to flash ROM. It will work.
Good luck

1) smartswitch or kies wont work at all because you already tripped your knox
2) recovery is not seandroid enforcing <- this text shows you have custom recovery installed.
3) you possibly didnt turned knox off. settings>lock screen and security > find my mobile> there will be an option to switch it off
now solution
1st of all you havent bricked it! its soft bricked and not hard bricked(hard brick wont even turn on)
what you can do is let the battery drain off totally charge it and try to put it in download mode > odin > flash stock rom first(important step).
from there try to turn it on if it does you great. and dont use cf auto root if you are not familiar with it download some other roms which are way better than stock touchwiz,pre rooted and way better than it(like the note5 rom for s6 by arter).
by the way keycombinations >
downloadmode = vol down+home+power to switch off download mode vol down+ power only
recoverymode= vol up+home+ power
if you can put it in download mode follow my steps and hopefully you can,just keep trying

My phone wont go into download mode. When I press the button combination, the phone reboots and goes back into the screen saying the software error again. And the first time I tried to flash stock the phone is how the error message came up.

Ok so I let my phone completely drain of charge, then the second I put it on charge, the phone goes to the software error screen. Download mode just reboots phone into the error screen and recovery mode doesn't seem to do anything. Ill see if Odin recognizes the phone though

Ahm probably you missed something that could help you resolve your issue in much less time.
1. Press Vol Down + Power Button for 5 seconds until it reboots. After the screen is off then quickly switch to Vol down + Home + Power button to access download mode.
It is the key combination to safemode but it your case, it will just force restart your phone. No need to drain your battery.
2. Maybe most of the newbies always missed this part before doing anything to their phone. Backup (either on smart switch or Nandroid*best option)
3. You need to have proper samsung usb drivers installed and check in odin if your phone was recognized.
The only thing I see from your first post is that the firmware installation (odin) was interrupted. Please let it finished installing before doing anything in ur phone. Check faulty usb ports/usb cables to ensure your pc/laptop works well with ur s6.
Let us know how if u still encounter any issues.

do as the guy above said in 1st step thats a key step to put it in download mode

Thank you guys
The phone is all good now. It turns out that the software error screen was also the download mode. So I flashed the stock rom and everything is fine now. Thanks for the help.

Even though knox is tripped you can use smartswitch.
I know this because I have done it.
I rooted my phone, installed custom kernel, etc.
I then broke the screen, and since it was a hardware issue, I got it covered by my phone provider. (I am in Aus, we have different warranty laws compared to the USA.)
But I had to return it to stock. So I used Smartswitch to do so, even with knox tripped.

Need some wisdom

my s6 g920f was on 5.1.1 it was running fine after I updates to 6.0.1 came up with issue emergency calls only tried all sorts to fix it but with no luck asked some expert he told me that its the modem and flashing would fix it could anyone guide me in the right direction and help me resolve this issue my phone still says emergency call only thank you

You could try flashing stock 6.0.1 firmware doing the following:
1) Find your firmware here ( http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G920F/) and download the correct one. (Extract to desktop after)
2) Download Odin 3.10.7 ( http://odindownload.com/ ) and open.
3) Click 'AP' and select the firmware you downloaded (May take a few minutes for it to load)
4) Turn phone off, put into download mode (Hold Volume down, Home button and Power button) and continue
5) Connect phone to laptop (while in download mode) and when it says 'Added' in Odin, click start.
Only solution I could think of to fixing your problem, remember to back up all data if you're going to flash.
Also clear cache before flashing firmware. (Phone off, hold volume up and power) and select the option, then go ahead and do your thing

I had to flash 6.0.1 for my UK unlocked phone and all went well, try the same firmware I used: (If your phone is UK and unlocked):
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/66426/G920FXXU3DPBG_G920FBTU3DPB1_BTU/, BUT without the pit file, when I messed my phone up, I downloaded the firmware only from this link, just one file, and flashed it without pit or anything else (and everything went perfect). Might be able to help you too, if not then I'm not sure what else to do
EDIT: Also, after flashing and everything is done, you MAY have to turn on using safe mode (only on first time), I had to as it wouldn't go past the samsung logo first time after flashing. Phone does NOT actually go into safe mode, but gets it to boot correctly (Not sure why, or how it worked after, but it did)

Well if you've flashed and the firmware boots up fine, then just ignore the last part.
If not, and you get the same problem as me:
Make sure phone is off. turn on as normal (but while holding the volume down button until phone fully boots), do NOT hold the power button all the way though, just volume down

press and hold your phone’s volume up button for 10-15 seconds.
2. Next, without letting go of the volume up button, press and release the power button once. It will display a menu.
3. Navigate around the menu using the volume button.
4. Select Reboot System Now and your phone should be rebooting
Alternatively, you can do the following:
1. When any of the three appears, press and hold the power button for 2-3 seconds.
2. Then, without letting go of the power button, press and release the volume up button, once. It will display the same menu.
3. Select Reboot System Now and your phone should reboot.

Where did you get the phone from?
What firmware was on it?
What cell network are you using?
What country are you in?
Can you still get it into download mode?

Tried it now, still the same results. Thanks tho for constantly replying to my thread sir.

up please, still didn't solve my problem.

Check to see if you're running the latest odin. New odin software should be 3.13.1. Make sure to right click and run as administrator when running the application. You could also try using different computers and USB cables. Unlikely but if it works, it works.
Also, try downloading the file from a different website, there's a possibility that the file is corrupted. https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model/

I bricked my S7. Please help me.

Yesterday I tried flashing G930U firmware on my G930VL S7 hearing that it works. Big mistake. The device now only loops on the "Samsung Galaxy S7" logo and I can't get into recovery mode or download mode. Is there a way to fix this, or is my phone toast?

make sure you are using the lastest G930U firmware from Sammobile and use the version of Odin from this website
Even though your phone is in a boot loop you can still enter download mode. It does not matter what the phone is doing just press and hold, volume down+home+power until download mode appears, then flash firmware with Odin.
