Hey there guys ive had my sidekick for about a year now and i recently tried to put cwm recovery on it, but i ended up bricking it which has happened before. So i did what i did before when i bricked it and tried to put it into download mode to use odin but for some reason it wasnt doing it so i had to put it into forced download mode which seemed to be fine and odin said it was finished. The issue is it wont come out of download mode now, has anyone else had this happen to them before? if so what did you do to fix it?
You mean you've unplugged it and pulled the battery, and it goes back into download mode when you turn it back on?

UPDATE: Well guys i tried again but now when i try and odin it after about an eighth of the way through the proccess it says FAIL! and the phones reboots back into download mode
I have a Samsung S6 (SM-G920V) Verizon 32 GB. It was rooted with Ping-Pong Root (apk).
I try to install TWRP. At the restart, my cell phone would not start more. Apparently it was not compatible with my version of mobile phone.
TWRP not installed, so I understand.
When I turn it on, it stays on a light-blue screen.
I try to install a stock firmware with Odin3 but the application remains frozen with the message 'NAND write start!' for several hours. And sometimes the status message 'Set Partition' appears in the box where it should say 'PASS' at the conclusion flashing.
You have a solution? What?
If I can give links to the files you need, also they are grateful.
Are you in download mode with the phone when you are trying to odin back to stock? Silly question but I have to ask.

The bootloader is locked on Verizon. No custom recoveries for our phones.
I had trouble getting Odin to work on mine once. I went back and forth with 3.09 and 3.10, closed odin, opened it back up and it finally took. Try a different USB port if you have one.

Yes
Have you tried a factory reset? Go into maintenance mode. Same buttons as download mode but with your phone turned on. As soon as the screen goes black, release the buttons.

I tried, but when I select that option, the phone returns to show the light-blue screen attached to the publication.
Any option, shows me that screen. I'm desperate.

Download Mode works, apparently. Or at least it shows me that screen. In this way I connect to the PC and use Odin3.

What I meant was, what button combination are you using to get into download mode?
Are you doing it like this?
Power Down the Galaxy S6
Press and Hold the Home Button, Power Button and Volume Down Buttons at the Same Time
Continue Holding These Buttons Until You See a Special Download Mode Menu
Once You See that Download Mode Menu, Immediately Let Go of Those Buttons
You’ll Need to Press the Volume Up Button to Accept the Warning
If so, what firmware are you trying to flash? Did you check MD5?
Have you tried a different cable?
Different USB port?
Even a different PC? (If one is available)

Is the file from this post the one you have been trying? With your problem, it should be. This is a full wipe tar.
Also, make sure kies isn't open the same time Odin is.

Yes, I'm doing that.
I tried installing the firmware of the following links:
- https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952607102
and
- https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952613680
Yes, I checked MD5 both.
The cable used is provided by Samsung.
I tried three different USB ports, always in the same PC.

I think I download a firmware with a similar name.
I'll try this, and then you commented.
Kies always kept closed (even the process was not listed in the task manager).

If that doesn't work, some people have reported having luck restoring their phones using Samsung Smart Switch. It's main purpose is to transfer data from one phone to another but it also has "Emergency Recovery" and "Software Update and Initialization" sections.
Here is a YouTube video to help you out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8AZyalTf5Y

See safe mode if anything changes. If it does then it's an app or some bad settings. Factory reset would be next step...

If you don't want to root:
Google for kies, samsung firmware downloader and installer.
Enter recovery do a factory reset, enter in download mode, plug your usb cable and install latest software via kies.

I am using fast cable charging maybe this is the problem
I have a Verizon Galaxy S7 that I rooted and have been using on T-Mobile. With the new T-Mobile nougat coming out yesterday I tried flashing the new update using Odin. When I tried to flash via Odin it showed failed and my phone was stuck on download mode. So I trying rebooting using the Power + Volume Down and that's when i realized that the phone has been hard bricked. I don't have anything but black screen. When I try to get into recovery it shows "Rebooting Recovery" and then black screen again. Can someone please help me unbrick this phone? Is there anyway to boot from sdcard? Any way to get into a safe mode or something like that?

No I can't get into download mode. Otherwise I would've done exactly what you said. Download mode isn't working. When I try to get into recovery it shows "Recovery Booting" and then it goes black again.

I'm sorry. I don't think I clarified it properly. When I press the Volume Up + Power + Home I see a set of blue letters saying "Recovery Booting ..." I don't see anything after that. The phone goes back to Black screen and I don't see any of the recovery options.
What do you mean by Download mode "Does not work" ? Can you please elaborate.
Also, try to hold the download mode key combination in for like 20 seconds.

1- Waits for the battery to be empty ( if phone can be charged again )
or
2- use jig to force phone to star download mode

If you're just faced with a black screen when you try to access download mode, try to plug it in with odin and see if it's detecting anything?
I've been in a similar situation where you are now, and by pressing the combinations for download mode for maybe 30 sec the phone restarted itself a couple of times and evetually I got download mode.
One other time I held the combination and I thought I got into download mode but my screen was still black, and just for the fun of it I plugged it into my computer and opened odin.
Odin said "Added", I flashed stock, wiped everything, restarted and it worked! I then flashed stock rom completely again for safety reasons.

Yeah tried all those. Nothing worked. Just gonna send it back to Samsung since it's covered under warranty. Thanks for the suggestions though
Just being curious, if one of those hard brick occur, and i take my phone to service, what would they do to fix my phone? is it even possible to fix it, and how much would they request you to pay?

You voided the warranty as you have rooted and tripped the E-fuse
Happened the same to me because of a xposed module. Black screen with a pulsing blue led. Someone sugested to wait for the battery to drain and then try to connect to Odin. I have not tested it.
At the time i panicked and sent it to Samsung immediately without thinking.
Good luck to you.

The problem is:
No download mode
No recovery
no fastboot mode
When connecting to the current does not turn on the screen and sometimes it turns on but the load does not rise from 0% and the red LED blinks after a moment stops blinking and no longer turns on the screen, when connecting it to the pc it is detected but with battery it does not light the screen, when removed the battery lights up with a non-battery alert and up comes out fastboot mode started. I have tried with other batteries and still nothing happens.

Sounds like it's dead/hardware failure since youve tried different batteries.
Did you do anything to it like root , rom, etc before this happened? Or was it all stock?

There may be an unbrick guide in the general section to do a Pinout which will still require taking apart the phone and it would bring back download mode.

There is another possibility. Try another cord. The original cords after a while can be very finicky. Mine was. Make sure the next cord you try is definitely a fast charging data sync cable. Your best best is another of v10 cord. If that doesn't work, then you do indeed have a catastrophic hardware failure. And there is currently no fix 100% fix. There are the methods that the other posters mentioned but if those dont work, then your board is shot. Also, after trying the new cord. Reinstall the lg drivers on your pc.
