[Help] I soft bricked my phone, i am desperate.

I am so lost as to what to do next, i really need guidance.
I am offering a bitcoin tip or a paypal tip to whomever helps me get my phone to work ASAP.
So i was attempting to root my phone [GALAXY S6 - SM-G920F]
Got the file from: https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ which should've matched my Phone.
First attempt failed, got back into my phone everything is fine. Tried the same thing again, failed this time i get this message:
An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software." The logs for the times it has failed:

Tried connecting with Kies and Smart switch, none can find the device just keeps buffering and for smart switch it just say it's not supported. I am able to get into downloading mode, but that's it.
Got newest Kies, odin 3 v.10.7.exe however on my first go i noticed i had odin3 v.10.6 but now i got the latest i believe. After reading around i decided to try to fix it back to normal, so i downloaded my countries [sweden] firmware this one: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/confirm/57869/G920FXXU3COI9_G920FVDS3COI6_VDS/

And now i am here, i am truely nervous that i wont be able to get it to work.
Please Xda your my only hope. All i wanted was to free up space on my phone.. That's it.. :crying:
Ps. Worth mentioning, sometimes my usb is not recongnized and it flickers on and off (connectiong) but seems
to be fine most of the times and during the odin trials.

To root your phone, couldn't you simply flash twrp and then unikernel, like the guides say?
However, I'd try doing the following:
First of all, download the stock firmware for your version from samfirmware, then flash it via Odin (make sure the versione you download is the same you had before, or at least a more recent one).
From your logs, the problem seems to be pit file, so try reading here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916936
If not, completely delete odin and download it again, maybe trying with a different firmware.
If everything goes well, let it boot into setup wizard, then you will able to root it again, this time following the standard procedure with odin:
- Make sure "Auto reboot" flag is NOT checked;
- Flash the twrp odin-flashable file (can't post links here, but you'll find them in General section);
- Manually reboot into recovery (Hold power+home+volume up).
- Once you're into twrp, flash unikernel and reboot.
Your phone will be rooted

I just begain with youtubing easy way to root and i just said download odin, get the right firmware plug in an click odin.
That has failed and it's bricked, however i have tried to get my countries firmware, it didint work and produced my last log that i posted.
I am downloading another one there is two for Sweden however the other one says Sweden tre which is an operator over here and not one that i use so i doubt that will work?
i will attempt to download it but it takes 3h due to the limited speed at sammmobile.
So summarize, the sweden firmware from sammobile failed ;_;
What i do is, put phone in download mode, open odin, get the AP [Sweden from sammomobile] it finds it and press start, quickly after it says failed and i am back to square one.
I was reading the link you gave me about the pit files, it appears the error could be related to me having the wrong firmware?
I am seriously offering a bitcoin tip or a paypal tip to whomever helps me get my phone to work.

There are firmwares here for VDS.
Uninstall Kies and reboot your PC before using Odin.

Should i try all of those or just take the latest?
3H download, jesus my fiber is crying.

If you were on 5.1.1, then get 5.1.1
You can try the file you dl before. Just uninstall Kies before using Odin.

You dont need to download another rom dude...the problem is your usb dont get recognized and after a while it will disconnect...it happened to me aswell...searched on youtube did an easy fix and then i flashed stock rom with odin and joined marshmallow beta...
Tldr: search on youtube a fix for usb not recognized...i dont have a link sorry you have to search it by yourself its an easy fix..

Is it OK to flash with the latest stock roms? G920FXXU3? or should I flash only G920FXXU2? they are both 5.1.1 anyway.. If i flash with G920FXXU3, can i downgrade it to G920FXXU2? thanks for any help

You're fine with either.

@WaDoDem
First of all, calm down. Believe me it's harder than you think to brick S6 in a not fixable way
If Odin doesn't flash official roms or you just cant suffer a slow a** download speed from SamMobile :
1. Press and hold all of 4 buttons on your device. (Volume up + Volume Down + Home + Power) your device will reboot.
2. As soon as device reboots release volume up and hold other 3 three. (Power + Home + Volume Down). Your device should boot into downloading mode.
3. Download this :
https://dl.twrp.me/zeroflte/twrp-2.8.7.2-zeroflte.img.tar.html
4. Connect your phone to your pc and flash above file with Odin. As soon as flashing process finishes, hold Power+Home + Volume Up. Now your device will boot into TWRP recovery.
5. Wait for drivers to be installed. Your pc should show phone's internal storage as connected device. If not, go to TWRP Mount section and enable MTP mode. (Or if it's enabled, disable and re enable it )
6. Download this rom :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...rom-2013266107-arrow-rom-v1-0-0-fast-t3212318
And this kernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...nified-development/kernel-vindicator-t3156281
Then put them on your phone.
7. Wipe system,data,cache and dalvik cache from twrp.
8. Install Arrow Rom first and then flash Vindicator Kernel.
9.Reboot, first boot can take up to 15 minutes
10.Continue celebrating new year [emoji14]

sometimes if odin not working i restart my computer and put my mobile in downloadmode again and than i try again,most of the time it worked.....

If you think you can't find a wat at all, Samsung will help u. Download smartswitch to your PC and you can click in top corner emergency reinstall (or something like that) just put your serial number (as found on your backside of the phone)

4. Connect your phone to your pc and flash above file with Odin. As soon as flashing process finishes said:
Odin cant find the tar file.
I got odin 3V3.10.7 in options auto reboot and f. reset time are all bocked in is that right?
On files to download i am able to do, ap,cp,csc,bl neither of those help to find the recovery image that i am supposed to start?

I cannot use recovery since none of the numbers i have on the back of my phone matches the one i need to enter.
i tried device initialization that led to FAILED TO UPDATE DUE TO AN ERROR.
and then smart switch recommends emergency software recovery the one you were talking about but i dont know how to get my code.
I assumed you meant to input my phones IMEI however that did not prove to be correct.

Relax, flip your phone and on the bottom you'll see (barely visible) text. The last line it says: 'S/N:'
The code after is your serial number. So not your IMEI
The same code is found on the stickers you'd got with your phone

When i go to Smart switch Emergency Software recovery and input my S/N R58G52AMP1J
it says:
''Unable to find the recovery code. Check the recovery code in the PC's Emergency Software Recovery menu, or contact the samsung service center.''
When i did Device initialization used my model nr and S/N: R58G52AMP1J, halfway through completing the process, the first one did 100% then the next loading didint start got the error and that re-directed me to try Emergency Software Recovery.

If Odin says no PIT, he'll need to Odin the PIT file for his device first then Odin the factory firmware.

I managed to something similar to my phone a while back. Only solution that i found was restoring the phone using Samsung Smart Switch app on PC. There are a few stepts the app tells you to do, after that it flashes the stock firmware, modem, recovery...evrything.

Does this firmware support Samsung Pay?

Does this firmware support Samsung Pay?

Samsung Pay (Tizen Version) is inside EQH1 Firmware...
You can check by simple unpack/extract with Tool:
Code:
7zip
Check rootfs.img... you will find:
Code:
com.samsung.samsung-pay-app.tpk
But this is not what you want nor need... Samsung enable and DISABLE this app by selected CSC/Sales Code and few other Knox related Security crap...
Look at this Video... 1 way could be this... to force Spay...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73982855&postcount=213
WARNING! This could create dangerous sideeffects...
I have only Retail Mode app from Gear S3...
This creates on my SM-R732 harder problems... CSA related...
Other attempt is CSC change...
BUT... Spay is security chain....
Maybe also handset part... like Spay Plugin or CSC of handset is mandatory...
Only as info...

I'm not able to flash this new firmware into my Gear S2. The beginning of the whole process always goes right, but at the end it always writes an error. And the result is always the same, which can be seen in the picture below.

I flashed older FW and then the smartwatches booted. I have SM-R720. What is the difference between R720 and R720X ?

in my case. I use them for live demo. and I had no problems.

What is the difference between R720 and R720X ?

The X...
X means Live Demo Unit... NOT FOR SALE
Demo Devices for Store...
If you are sure you have SM-R720...
Then check Odin Output as I told...
Or if your solution work and you are lucky. Then you can use official way with over the Air... depend on your CSC if you reach EQH1...
Btw... Which Version you flashed successfully? Maybe helpfull for other users too...
Best Regards

I'd love to upload a log, but I do not have it, because I try it last week and I immediately flashed R720XXU2AOJ3 (http://www.mediafire.com/download/zhultaz1dz3brlc/R720XXU2AOJ3_Gear_s2_sport.rar)
Right now I have R720XXU2EQC1.

EQC1 is, because Samsung "branded" device with CSC... Sales Code...
Not every country can download over the Air...
But EQH1 could run on more CSC...
If maybe for next attempts... here is BOKK for SM-R720:

i have a somewhat similar problem with a gear s2 classic...
i can get into download mode, i cant get into wireless download, recovery, or factory command, also cant boot... sits at gear s2 logo for a minute or 2... then goes to a snowy screen like post 7
also, 2 of the solder pads are borken but ive managed to be able to still connect in a very delicate manner..
everytime i try to flash in odin, it gets past the set download mode and such and then gets stuck right at writing param.bin... and sits there FOREVER.... doing nothing..
i know its connected properly as it shows up in device manager properly, and in odin,..
but it seems like the nand is messed up permanently

Tizen 3.0 now rolling out to the Gear S3 with Value Pack update.
It looks like Gear S2 does not get this update.

S6 stuck on Samsung logo screen; Recovery mode = no, Odin mode = yes

I've got a Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920F) which stucks on the Samsung logo screen after booting (Samsung Galaxy S6 powered by Android). I got it from a friend, he doesn't know what happened. Knox wasn't affected so it was just stock.
First I thought it was a dead battery because the phone didn't do anything. Only when the charger was connected, it would show a charging empty battery but no percentage. But after a hour in the charger I could boot into the Samsung logo where it get stuck (still no battery percentage however). I can also boot into download/odin mode. But I can't boot into recovery.
I already tried to flash the latest firmware for the S6 (PHN Netherlands G920FXXU6ERF5 https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s6/SM-G920F/PHN/download/G920FXXU6ERF5/226355/) but that didn't help. It still doesn't boot and I still can't boot into recovery. Should I use some other options in Odin?
I also tried to flash TWRP, but even then I can't boot into recovery.
Flashing both stock firmware and TWRP give no error in Odin.
I found this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/guide-downgrade-sm-g920f-nougat-to-t3639253
I want to try this, but I already get stuck in step 5.
5. Open SkipSoft Android Tool Kit and wait until you see the main menu. Then go to the installation folder of this tool and you should see an "INPUT" folder. Copy ONLY the boot.img, cache.img, recovery.img and system.img into that folder.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When I go to the installation folder (I'm not on the computer right now, something in C:\Program Files\nameofprogram ) there is no INPUT folder.
And in step 6, on my screen there is no option for 99. I got something like this: (picture is from google, not exactly what I got. But almost the same)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So I don't know what these steps do. Can't I just make the flashable file with winrar or 7zip or something?
Are there other options I can try? What can cause this behavior? Is it a faulty bootloader? If so, can't I just reflash just the bootloader?
Maybe I should try to flash 5.0.2 or 5.1.1, but I can't find these files on sammobile and updato.com. I found the original url to sammobile but those aren't working anymore:
5.0.2: G920FXXU1AOE3 G920FPHN1AODQ PHN
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/47427/G920FXXU1AOE3_G920FPHN1AODQ_PHN/
5.1.1: G920FXXU2BOGB G920FPHN2BOG8 PHN
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/52406/G920FXXU2BOGB_G920FPHN2BOG8_PHN/

Or can someone help me to get the 5.0.2 and/or 5.1.1 files for the G920F?

Typing 99 in the menu worked for me. Even though I also didn't see the corresponding option. It seems to be an update command, downloading the latest packages of adb, adb-fastboot and magisk.
Can you verify that you tried starting recovery mode IMMEDIATELY after flashing the TWRP? The original system seemed to override any changes, if you give it the chance to reboot normally.

Yes I tried TWRP with auto-reboot in Odin and immediately press VOL_UP+POWER+HOME after auto reboot. And TWRP with auto-reboot unchecked. So flash TWRP, force reboot with VOL_DOWN+POWER+HOME switch to VOL_UP+POWER+HOME before the Samsung logo appears. Bot both methods won't let me boot into recovery.

When I try to flash this rom:
G920FXXU3DPBG_G920FPHN3DPB2_PHN
I get this error in Odin (tried v3.10.6 and v3.12.4_4)

Hi,
Were you able to figure out what the issue was? I'm in the exact same situation and have tried similar things with no success. I've kind of given up on it being a software issue at this point..

Nope, I'm going to sell it for parts.

This happened to me after trying to get unstuck from a bootloop. I think I solved it by flashing it again a couple more times. And I remember it taking quit a while to actually boot up when it finally did.

I already flashed it a lot of times. Both original firmware as TWRP. Nothing helped.
I wanted to try early stock rom but can't find downloads

I found a video about fixing Samsung Galaxy Android system issues, sound helpful with you.

Not sure what kind, but my N8010 is bricked.

I picked up a 2nd hand n8010 a LONG while back, back when they were still relevant.
I had been using it peacefully, on all stock software the way i got it, and had upgraded my phone, so i left it off for a long while, about a year or two now. Just yesterday, I decided to fully charge and open it. So far so good.
Then the bootlogo shows up. It started looping, black screen, wait a bit, back to logo until battery dies.
I decided to leave it be for a bit charged. Still nothing, so i decided to enter recovery mode, but nothing happened. The backlight DOES flash for a second or two, but then it's back to the bootlogo shenanigans.
Now i have noticed after fully charging the device, it just stays stuck on the bootlogo, without flashing or looping. It is open right now.
I tried to flash TWRP 2.8.6.0 for GT-N8010, log says it succeeded, but there is nothing:

I tried to flash a stock rom. It was a turkish N8010, So i picked up TUR-N8010XXUCMG1-2013101145051. Here is the failed repartition log:

<ID:0/003>
<ID:0/003> Re-Partition operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
I have also tried to reflash a PIT file. Same repartition fail error. Weird thing to note is that while the device IS a 8010, the Odin Mode shows N8005 but i have no clue why.
One more thing to note: not booting to anything for ~5 minutes makes windows prepare SAMSUNG Device drivers, and shows on Device Manager as an MTP device.
Other than that I have tried
Flashing the following roms for diversity: XSG-N8010XXUDNF3-20141017163909 & N8010XXUCMK2 (no date)
Flashing I9300_Repair_efs.tar
Using device's own PIT, and the infamous Note10_PIT.zip copy from a N8000
Using Odin 3.12, 3.14.1 and 3.13.1, and trying all of the above reflash steps with each version
I'm okay with wiping everything, I have 0 important data left in it.
If i missed anything please ask, i will reply as soon as possible! I want to know how to solve if possible, or if my nand is gone

Fail on PIT often wrong size 16gb / 32 gb firmware used .

So i should find firmware for my 16gb model?
Recovery doesnt flash either, it just does RQT_CLOSE and takes 00:01 second to flash so it isnt actually flashing... When i reboot into recovery it goes black screen as i mentioned
I'll try look for firmware for my particular model, thank you

UPDATE: I found another pit. its for n8010 16gb, still the same PIT error.
I also tried TUR N8010XXUDNF3_N8010OJVDNF3-20140614 which is also tz.img fail.
I tried all of the above again with Odin 3.09, also same result except for TWRP.
TWRP now "flashes" and takes time to flash, like it's supposed to be. But booting to recovery still is a black backlight.

which is also tz.img f
You flash TAR through Odin not IMAGE .

If you mean .tar.gz, i also tried renaming and it outright didnt work.
I never extract .tar files while flashing, unless if its twrp.

Are you using the Original Samsung USB cable you should .
You could find Philz Recovery on here flash that and then use it to update to TWRP .

Hello, i have 2 original cables. One that came with the box and one that i bought off of an official samsung store. Just in case the one i purchased was problematic, I found the one that came with the box, and tried it.
The issue persisted, so i do not think i have a problem there.
I did get a version of philz recovery and try to flash it, but it was the same was TWRP. Flashed as normal, I went to recovery, it gave black screen for 1-2 seconds, reboot.
I'm starting to believe I have a hardware failure. I dont think it would flash and still not work if it werent broken.
Thanks for sticking with me. If you have any more suggestions i am willing to try. But worse come to worse i will replace the motherboard and try an emmc replacement on the dead board as practice.
Just one question: Is it possible that i could trick the bootloader to booting from ExtSD? Maybe if EMMC is dead, i could boot from my 8gb microsd.

Bad emmc usually posts in Odin as Nand fail .
