I did this update to froyo before this and nothing happen. This time before the update finished, the power supply of my desktop suddenly turn off. everything goes to zero. i tried to restart my phone, but the screen still "downloading". I have to force it to off by pull out the battery.
when i try to turn on my phone, it failed. no screen at all. i pressed everything but still cannot on.
Please help. I'm using Odin Downloader.
Can the phone get into download mode ?

does vol down + power + home(just the three) work
if yes
flash a stock rom from samfirmware.com(if you remember which one you had you can flash that back)
Even if the key combo i gave doesnt work
Connect your g3 to charger and let it charge for a while
If you get some icon (battery ) there can be some hope for recovering your device
You told it displays no screen so probably its a brick
Best would be to go to a samsung service center(if you have warranty) and make up a story(phone switched off on call and then this happened etc. etc.)
Guys need serious technical help..............................
i have rooted my phone with super one click all things were going fine.installed rom manager to backup my stock ROM and committed a mistake and installed wrong cwm and tried to backup my stock rom.selecting the backup option it Suppose reboot my phone in download mode which doesn't happen. and now i dose not have any access to my phone.
I searched whole forum and haven't found any solution.please help me.
Need guidance..
download and install pratyush.creed rom using odin and ur phone will be fine again
Bricked Screen (A.K.A. phone-!-pc or Black Screen of Death)
To recover from this problem, you'll need to get into the Download Mode.
Black Screen of Death:A fully bricked phone will not boot, or display the charging logo when connected to a USB charger. This presently cannot be recovered from any recovery attempt, it will require the phone to be sent back to Samsung and be serviced.
This screen does not always mean your phone is bricked. If you have a hardware locked vibrant, maybe, however, if your phone is not hardware locked, unplug the USB cable from the phone, Hold down Vol UP+Vol Down+Power, the screen will flash black, continue holding down all 3 buttons, you will see the "phone--!--PC" screen again, continue holding all 3 buttons, the screen will flash black again, release the power button only. This will put you into Download Mode.
If this does not work, open odin. Then connect your usb cable to your phone and computer. While the USB is plugged in and Odin running press and hold volume down + Home + Power. Once the black screen comes (flashes) release the Power Button. It should get into download mode.
Additionally it is possible to get into the Download Mode using a kind of micro-usb connector, modified with a 301k resistor as showed in this video:

when i pressed vol up+home+power,the port was found by odin but it dose not start flashing
I try and schema whit modified resistor but nothing. i measured the level of battery it was at 2,4 V after some seconds it down to 0. Maybe it the battery? i charge all the night and next day i put on USB on PC all the day before it die. Maybe i broke the battery and no phone?

i dont think battery is problem in my case.i have checked my handset by replacing battery to.
Now i think service center is the last option.i'll visit there latest by tommorow.
If you send it to the service, please after they send back to you the phone, post what they do to the phone (change motherboard or change another piece or just flash it) Thanks.

lets see what they will do.i'll inform u what they did to my handset..............................
I think u need to go to customer care. (even i bricked my phone once...) but never ever accept that uve rooted ur phone... Thats wat i did... and i got my phone repaired without any further issues!

used rom manager without any problem with my previous phone.......didn't face any problem......but i didn't know that CMD is currently not working with fit.........
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.
Hey hey,
I received and tried to install an OTA for my GS7 this morning, but unfortunately it failed (stuck for several hours at 76%).
Now when I restart, the phone stays on the GS7 logo, that's about it. I cannot switch it off (not even when keeping the power button down for >1min), but can force restart (vol down + power) and enter download mode (vol down + home + power). The most annoying part is that I cannot enter the recovery mode (vol up + home + power as far as I know) after a forced restart. I tried to let the battery die, and use the same combo before plugging in the phone, but didn't help.
Any clue without me going to a samsung repair shop (which are closed this weekend).
For info, was running stock M on my Canadian GS7 (Rogers).
Thanks in advance for any tip!

Use the Kies 3 software from samsung. As long as you have your S/N and Model # and can boot into download mode you can get reset and on the newest firmware within 20 minutes
Thanks for info!
So I tried that, but the phone still stays on the Samsung logo after the upload..
Explain in detail your procedure
Sure thing:
- enter download mode on the phone by using volume down + home + power. I have to keep them all at the same time to force the reboot and enter the mode (actually restarts twice most of the times before it works). Once the screen is there, accept using volume up.
- Installed latest Smart Switch, verified it's latest.
- connect phone (nothing detected here, even when outside of download mode)
- went to 'emergency software recovery and initialization'
- again, device doesn't get listed here (even when outside of download mode)
- select device initialization, entered model name and S/N
- started the intialization procedure, which downloaded successfully and updated the phone successfully (so it reads). Phone did show progress bar during the update.
- phone rebooted by itself, and back to square one, on a stuck GS7 logo.
Do you have samsung usb drivers installed?
I tried on PC earlier today, yup, drivers were installed. Also tried the Smart Switch 'reinstall drivers'. Before this issue, I was able to connect to the phone properly (same USB port etc)
Now on Mac and fresh install, did the Smart Switch 'reinstall drivers' (after two tests of re-initializaton). Didn't change a thing.
Hmm Def strange. I have had many s7 bricks..hard and soft. Aswell as bootloops but I have always been able to fall back on smartswitch. I suggest you to try kies 3 and if that doesnt work..find stock firmware on sammobile and flash using odin. ( risk of ruining you device involve when using odin. )
Thanks for the tips, will try that!
Need serious help. My Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is soft brick I think.
I was able to go into recovery and download mode (VOL DOWN + POWER + HOME keys).
Now it's currently stuck in Smart Switch mode.
I cannot take out the battery so the phone cannot be switched off that easily.
Does anyone know how to get out of Smart Switch mode?

Press 'Power' + 'Home' + 'Volume -' for about 30 second, phone must restart that way. Just reflash your phone using latest Odin 3.12.7 (and latest Samsung USB drivers) to latest stock firmware for your model (you get it via SamFirm) then flash CF_AutoRoot & TWRP and do what you want!

I figured out how the DOWN POWER HOME button works only while usb is connected.
I can now use odin.. but now I get NAND failed during flash

So can be just hardware issue, for example eMMC broken.
check drivers or change usb port on pc/laptop
Yes you can check also on another cable or/and another USB-port or even on another PC... But I don't think so that help... Did you tried like I told HERE?
