Issues with the Galaxy S6 (broken flash chip?) - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

[Q] bricked samsung galaxy 5830m not detected by pc

I flashed my phone with cm10 I think? every thing went fine with that it was successful, however when the phone rebooted it stops at the samsung logo. The unit will not go into recovery mode. When I put it into download mode the screen shows odin d/l mode and the model is 5830i but my model is 5830m. also the computer does not even detect my device. where do I go from here?
Download a ROM for the 5830m with an Odin install. Go into download and install the ROM with Odin.
pc does acknolwedge that a device is connected
pc does acknowledge that a device is connected, it's as the pc doesn't know that a device is connected,( yes I loaded samsung drivers and Kies). What am I doing wrong?

[Q] Phone not recognised by ODIN 1.83 or 1.85

My phone had XGamerz ROM. I recently have switched it on and off for changing sim cards. Now what happened is my phone is stuck in the Samsung LOGO when I boot it normally. When I boot in Recovery mode, it shows the Samsung logo and then the screen goes blank. When I boot in download mode, the yellow android logo comes, but my phone is not being recognised by ODIN 1.83 nor 1.85. I also reinstalled KIES, but no use. What should I do?
your problem is related to usb drivers, try installing proper usb drivers of your phone or use universal usb drivers.. happy flashing

bricked s6?

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

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. !

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.
