S6 (SM-G920W8) Sent for Warranty

I have sent my S6 in for warranty if anyone would like to know anything about how my experience is with samsung let me know.
Yesterday my S6 froze and started boot loop couldn't access the stock recovery I wasn't able to power down the device so I had to let it die. I was only able to get to download mode knox wasn't tripped. After hours and hours trying to fix the phone I was able to get kies to install the stock firmware to the device after everything was done no errors the phone restarted and no matter what it still didn't boot still couldn't access recovery or power down the device. What I did notice though in download mode Odin said "System Status: Custom" But the Binery is still "Samsung Offical" it had changed after I tried to save the device with kies. I am unsure if "System Status: Custom" will effect my warranty.

if you can get it back into download mode, then look for the knox code and if it changes from 0 to 1 or says 0x10000 instead od 0x0000 or anything changes besides 0 (0x000) your phone has identified that the system was faulted by the flash and therefore your warranty is now void because the knox security system has changed from the original setting. If it says custom most likely it has detected as well that the system was flipped but because you said it still says samsung official they may let it slide. But im not sure what that means i believe is that the phone is an official samsung and that the flash was an official samsung code but it wasnt the original code on the phone. Sometimes a flash on the phone will change the imei so that could mean why the phone is now custom, More than likely though the repair person will have to flash your system anyway and if that doesnt work then your motherboard isnt being read by NAND and you probably need a replacement, i have been up solving mine and calling eveyr technincian store, repair person, and customer service since my phone did what yours did about 3am this morning. Ive got no sleep had about 3break downs and sadly i think it needs to just be professionally checked. My NAND keeps getting a write fail and nothing is passing over to my phone. i can still get into the recovery mode to perform factory resets and cache wipes but it says dm-veridity verification failed and even after multiple factory resets and cache wipes and accidentally hitting the adb button it has led me no where but a continous boot. My phone is only 12days old. Samsung will cover it because i didnt knock my warranty or show evident of any faulting with the OS. The phone had done a update to a new firmware and once that finished i did a factory reset from the phone settings and when i went back to wipe the cache the phone shut down and since then hasnt been able to go past the logo SAMSUNG GALAXY s6 screen powered by android. So as upset and dissastisfied as i am with the phone, i definately appreciate all the youtube videos, forums, repair technicians, and customer service advice i got today. I have definately learned more than i needed to know lol and downloaded about every type of odin available and both firmwares for the lollipop 5.1.1. for samsung galaxy and the original 5.02 the 5.02 got the farthest in download until it shut down because of the written fail and then again because of COM port, but the other one didnt even get past system configuration so i guess something needs to be looked at immediately. If you know anything please do respond back to this message before i send mine off thanks a bunch lovelies:good::good:
my phone is a samgun galaxy s6 with model SM-G290P (sprint), i was originally on android 5.02 i guess but i got the phone activated in stores so when it was given to me from the moment i had it i was on 5.1.1. , i also noticed that my phone goes through odin mode easily but wont connect to the computer i have installed the smart switch, uninstalled after it failed to work with kies, i have installed the mobile drive individually and it picked it up on odin but wont pick it up on smart switch. I do know that if i can locate my s/n number then i can just plug it into smart switch to do the factory flash but i cant locate the s/n number being my phone is turned off. i tried the DEC,HEX AKA IMEI, ICC ID, RS UNDER THE BARCODE, AND none of these codes seem to be a valid s/n number. if someone could assist me with that i would be TREMENDOUSLY GREATFULLLLL!!! ALSO BEFORE i could just click my power button once and the phone would come on now i have to slightly hold it a few second for it to even show the logo.i have also noticed that if i charge my phone the phone loops otherwise if i go to download and cancel and then power on the device manually then it shows the logo once and then shuts off. so hurt you guys!

security notice,unauthorised actions have been detected.restart your phone

Hi. I have a galaxy s7 SM-G930F,a while ago I tried to find some erased pictures with an app without root, after that I started to get a security notice about: unauthorised actions have been detected. Restart your phone to undo these actions. Over and over again. I downloaded package disabler and I managed to stop it appearing . Now that doesn't work anymore , it says i need to unroot the phone ,and even my mobile banking doesn't work . I tried to install stock firmware ,but after doing all the steps odin doesn't start. Any help?

ODIN doesn't start?
Or the phone doesn't start?
Use CSC, AP, BL, and CP (This will reset the phone)

SM-G930FD - Apps crashing and Random Reboots

Hi Community,
My S7 Dual Sim was working great until it was updated to 7.0 and the phone start to behave crazy. Applications crashing and reboots all the time. I tried all possible options to reset but the issue remained the same.
When updating with Smart Switch, it ends into No Command screen for a while followed by "Failed to verify for dmvarity hash tree" error in recovery.
I rooted it and installed stock fw with ODIN that ends into dm-verity verification failed error and only boots if I install TWRP but with same crashing and reboot error. Sometimes If I select reboot on dm-varity error, the phone sometimes enter into a bootloop and keeps on restarting from Samsung Galaxy S7 screen or sometimes it goes to Samsung animation and remain there until I reset using vol - and power buttons.
I searched but couldn't find any solution. Can someone please help
Phone info is as follows:
Product Code: SMG930FZDUXSG
Original CSC code: Blank
Active CSC code: XSG
PDA version: G930FXXS1DQHM
CSC version: G930FOJV1DQEB
Baseband version: G930FXXU1DQE8

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Offiicial
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
FRP LOCK: OFF
Secure Download : Enabled
WARRANTY VOID: 1 (0X500)

Help is badly needed... Thx

I am raging here too. My device was locked out because it was rooted. After the newest update the phone stared to behave in the same way as yours. One of the reboots ended with bootlooping screen and a text in the upper left corner saying that there was FRP lock whick basically locks your phone when it sees root or something malicious. Samsung kinda updated their security and i think its on hardware level couse i cant install custom rom now.
But i an assure you that u can fix your phone.
Go to sammmobile dot com and there in the firmware section find your model and then go to your country in the drop menu. Then go and select the lastest 6.0.1 update an download it. After that just google How to update samsung software with ODIN and follow the tutorial. WARNING your phone may loose all of the data in it which basically means all your files and photos ect.

Thx for your inputs however I am not stuck with any lock as my FRP LOCK: OFF
My phone boots normally after I install TWRP but its highly unstable to be a daily driver with applications crashing and random reboots like crazy...
I will try downgrading my phone to 6.0.1 and post results here

I took it to Z3X box technicians and they tried fixing my DRK but dm varity error is still there. I have booted it again by installing TWRP and dm varity fix but issue is random apps crashing and reboots that makes the phone highly unstable.
Any ideas...

Galaxy S6 Edge - Lock pattern unknown and FRP active

Hi,
I have a Galaxy S6 Edge (SM-G928) where I need to get access to. I don't need any data on it so a wipe would be great. But I can't get inside the phone as the pattern was changed and FRP is active.
When I try to get to the boot menu (power up + home button) and choose to wipe data it says that MDM does not allow that.
When I try to upload a custom rom it says that FRP would prevent that.
I already updated the Android to the version 7 using Odin. That worked so far but the lock pattern is still there...
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Viktor

you need to remove the lock pattern from your Galaxy S6 Edge.

S8+ no download mode

Hello,
I know this has been covered briefly before but I'm trying to look for a solution to a problem.
My friend has been given an ex display s8+ to use, as the company he works for normally just throws them away.
It is on oreo, and as with all Samsung display models, it's locked down with Knox and custom locker. I can't restore the phone (even the lock screen method doesn't work), I can't install play store, I can't root it with adb, and I can't access download mode. I can access recovery, but again factory reset is blocked due to mdm protection.
I feel I have exhausted all areas, so I'm reaching out to see if anyone else has any ideas?
Thank you in advance.
