bricked s6? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, a friend of mine brought me probably bricked sm G920F (galaxy s6). he was on custom rom and twrp 3.0.2. He accidentaly wipped everything on the device and now it is stacked on twrp loading screen. i downloaded usb drivers and odin to flash back to stock but the pc is not recognizing my device when i boot into download mode. So i am a bit stacked since twrp is not loading and the phone is not recognized by my pc. We tried on different pcs with different cables and usb ports but still the phone is not get recognized.
Any suggestions?

hey, I'm in a similar boat.. been wrangling with it for a few days I am attempting the Emergency Software Recovery using Samsung Smart Switch, have you tried that?

It's shown when inquiry adb devices?

You must flash original firmware with ODIN

how to bring back p3100 (solved)

I usually keep flashing ROMS.
This time in sheer confidence I didnt charge the battery full.
I was switching from mokee 4.4 to CM11.
I wiped everything for a fresh install and unfortunately CM11 didnt install.
The tab restarted and now it wont go into recovery. what just happened?
It is just showing logo and I cannot get into Odin more either.
The tab had about 30% battery when it shut off and I cannot reach a charger for it for the next 4 hours.
Can I switch it off in any way to save battery?
the phone has switched off now. Is service center the only alternative? the tab was rooted with mokee installed.

Try charging it when you have time and then try re flashing the stock Rom before taking it to service center
will the tab 2 charge without a recovery or ROM in place?

I think it should
Ok, the tab2 is charging. thank you
I installed all the necessary drivers and odin and recovery on my laptop.
The tab2 is giving error on pc (this device wont start) mtp uSB. THe tab is stuck at 'samsung p3100' logo.
If it is any help, I have a working p3100 also running on stock firmware.
what should be my next step? I think I can manage if only I can get odin to recognize my phone or get into recovery (both of which seem to be missing.)

Try reinstalling drivers
@shsagnik : Thank you very much for helping out.
I got installed all drivers by using the other P3100. But when I connect the bricked p3100, pc doesnt install MTP USB drivers. Under device manager it says " failed to start".
ODIN doesn't recognize it. either.
My mistake was I flashed everything on the phone including the internal memory.
PS: Can I force ODIN to recognize my phone?
Ok, my almost bricked device is back and runnning.
This might just help somebody. but my android handset was on a logo only mode. something in the combination of
Attaching it to pc (windows 7 64-bit)
re-installing and rejigging drivers
trying to let ODIN identiify
connecting via Samsung kies (I also tried restore on kies).
connecting a working android phone instead of the dead phone with pc to find and install drivers.
worked.
PS: I also let it sit dead powered off (worked only when charger was attached) for a whole day before trying to boot into recovery or bootlaoder (both worked).

Samsung S8+ not detected any more from any PC

Hello,
I have bought a new Samsung Note 8 and took the sim Card from the S8+ out and changed it to the Note 8.
The S8+ is rooted and the ROM from CARHD is flashed.
After the new boot from my S8+ there stands in small letters : CUSTOM BINARY BLOCKED BY FRP
After that the S8+ powers down.
I thought no problem and wanted to initialize the S8+ with smart switch.
and now the problem : The S8+ does not connect to any PC in download mode. And i can not boot into recovery mode.
I tried it on 3 different PC´s with the original cable installed all drivers completly new. But no detection anymore. (unknown USB device)
The Note 8 is always detected but not the S8+
Does anybody have an solution for this or is the phone completly dead ?
I don´t know how i can try to get on.... I would be happy for every help or solution i could try.
Thanks in advance
Does really no one know what i can do ????
Can you boot to the download screen? You get to it by using the bixby+vol down+power. If so, you can use Odin to install an official rom or install twrp recovery and install a custom rom
Hello,
I can boot to download mode but the PC does not detect the phone right...it is always unknown usb device. That´s the big Problem. So i am not able to Flash anything.
Only suggestions would be to either uninstall and the re-install the Samsung mobile drivers on your 'puter or try another 'puter if you have one. Sounds like it's related to the pc and not the phone.
If you have read what i have written ... I tried it on 3 differnet PC´s and every other phone is detected. I think the phone is dead. I reinstalled also all Drivers.
The only way to get out of it is to find a way to detect the phone again.
OK - when you are in download mode and connected to Odin, does your phone show up as an activated ID COM port?
Hello, no it is an unknown usb device ! Thats the Problem. !

Hard problems with Samsung Galaxy S6 (broken flash chip?)

Hello guys, I'm really STUCK with the galaxy S6 (G920F) at the moment.
A friend gave it to me he said it suddenly turned off while he was playing a game and couldn't boot anymore.
I can't turn it off, it will keep on turning on automatically.
I can't go into recovery mode.
I can only go into download mode and flash a firmware with odin
I flashed the stock firmware with the latest odin and it flashed successfully. But it's still stuck on the Samsung logo (powered by Android) and won't boot into recovery or do anything at all.
So I read it could be the battery, so I bought a new one and replaced the battery.
But the problem remains. On Windows 7 x64 it's detected as "Gadget Serial" and "SAMSUNG Mobile USB CDC Composite Device" when I'm in download mode.
Odin detects the phone fine.
I then tried using Samsung Kies, and Samsung Smart Switch. Samsung Smart Switch detects an "unsupported device" and Samsung Kies doesn't detect anything at all and is stuck at "connecting...".
I don't have any ideas anymore and I fear it's a dead flash chip or any other board malfunctions.
Any suggestions maybe? Pleasee?

Sounds to me like it has run out of storage space and has no room to cache files when it boots.
Have you tried extracting the stock recovery.img from the stock firmware file then converting the recovery.img to a .tar.md5 file, then flashing the recovery and try to boot directly to it after flashing? If you can get into recovery, you can factory reset the device and wipe the cache partition. Sometimes this solves a bootloop issue after flashing stock firmware.
You can also try flashing a copy of TWRP for your device and then use TWRP to factory reset and wipe the device.

It has never been rooted or had installed something like a custom rom. It's 100% stock / stuck..

Galaxy J700F donwload mode not detected on PC (Custom Binary Blocked by FRP Lock)

Samsung Galaxy J7 had TWRP recovery and genisys xperience ROM. I used it perfectly without any issue for more than a year now. I did a factory reset via twrp and everything was working fine but after two days the phone was switched off due to low battery and then onwards it's showing custom binary blocked by FRP lock.
I dont know why this happened without doing anything with the phone.
I read a few threads where people just asked to flash stock rom via odin. but to do that Phone doesn't get detected by the PC while it's in Download mode.
I have installed USB Drivers for Samsung, I have latest version of ODIN. I've use odin multiple times before this and it's the 1st time that the phone is not even detected by PC.
when outside download mode the phone is recognized as unknown device (device descriptor request failed).
please help to solve the issue!
I've tried using different usb cables and other usb ports!
