If you can find a downloadable stock firmware OTA update for your specific model number, you can flash it via stock recovery.
That is your only option other than PC/Odin.

Ok, I didn't ask you for your model number and I didn't volunteer to use your model number to find a solution for you. You are the one that needs to know your model number and you are the one that needs to use your model number to search for what I told you about. I told you what you could use if it exists for your model number, now, it is up to you find it by searching for it. Do a search using your model number to see if you can find out if an OTA update was ever released for your specific device, if so, download that update, put it on sdcard, insert the sdcard into your device, boot into stock recovery and apply the update.

(HELP PLEASE) Galaxy S6 died overnight and now in a boot loop

last night i went to sleep with m galaxy s6 g920f STOCK 5.1.1 had a fair amount of battery left in t. When a woke up in the morning my phone was dead i thought the battery would have been consumed . I plugged it in charged it . Now when i try to turn it on it just jo to "samsung Galxy s6" logo ,screen becomes a bit yellowish and the phone restarts same thing is happening again and again.
Now i have tried to reinstall to odin, then going into recovery factory reset cache but same results. anyone please help this phone was running stock os so... i have searchd the web but there are no ways to fix it ...
Regards
any help please !
guys i need your help please
I would suggest you download a ROM from Sammmobile that corresponds to your country and install that via ODIN and if that doesn't work try one from a different country or one tha is unknown (I.E. that doesn't belong to a any country), I softbricked my phone trying to install H3G for UK and for what ever reason it would not install. However...
I downloaded one called BTU and that worked using this app SamFirm. To get my version I installed type the Model number SM-G920F and Region BTU to download, once it has downloaded then decrypt the file by clicking the Decrypt button and unzip the decrypted file and then use ODIN to install that one. Using the SamFirm app downlaods it faster and gets the latest from Samsung as far as I am concerned. Good Luck.

The only thing I can think of is trying one from your country and trying any other one. You can use the SamFirm software to download different versions, else I think your phone is broken for some unknown reason and you will have to get it fixed under the warranty. Or install the Samsung Smart Switch from samsung and get the firmware installed that way via the Emergency Software and recovery mode, but it will wipe everything and do a factory reset. Also you will need the serial number and model number of your phone.

If you want to know for sure, you open the casing on the device, the true model number should be stamped/printed somewhere in side.
Or we can assume it is a SM-G920V that has been flashed with SM-G920F firmware to work on a different network. If that is true then flash the SM-G920V

Looks like your model is N920V, Verizon model with a custom rom on it. You should be able to flash verizon firmware without issue
but how could he have a custom Rom on a verizon model???

I don't think it is a custom rom, I think It is a modified Stock Verizon Rom. Sm N920f doesn't exist as an original model as Samsung didn't do an European version of the Note5, phone info also said that is not refurbish. if you look at the phone details as I earlier posted you will see a mixup of Both N920f and N920v, I am just looking to hear from someone who as done it before, I don't want to brick this phone, I just got it.
same problem
i have same problem when i check about on devices its show N920F but when i check it using Phone Info Samsung it show N920V
if i flash it using N920V firmware, it will lock network to verizon? i use indonesian sim on it now.
if that locked to verizon how to unlock it again like now i used
Thanks for your help
I took a risk and flashed stock nougat (i found link on xdadevelopers website) on my so called n920f. Actually phone is not N920F, firmware was modifed to remove the branding. Its actually N920V.
To conclude, I flashed nougat 7.0 and its working perfectly, without any issue. I was worried regarding carrier locking after flashing the stock nougat, but it didn't as verizone says they don't lock LTE phones.

sm 920v became sm 920f
im from philippines. i tried my note 5 to update but stock in lollipop then i found out that its from verizon the real model is sm 920v and it was a custom rom of sm 920f. i read some replies here and im waiting for if i could flash nougat rom in sm 920v since its verizon does it can access the network signal
hope someone could help me this.
From N920F to N920V just download and install "Samsung Smart Switch" software on your PC, open the application and connect your phone to PC, click "MORE" , choose "Emergency Software Recovery & Initialization" then follow the instruction. It will reset to factory setting and upgrade the latest firmware (Nougat 7.0). The firmware is carrier unlock.

Yes, Smart Switch will do an OTA update automatically, no need ODIN because your phone has reset to normal factory setting with phone model N920V, no more N920F.

Samsung S7 Custom binary blocked by FRP lock, unknown country, no rma avaible.

Hi
Sorry for my English, not my native.
I know that there is few thread with this error.
My problem is that:
This is not my phone, friend of mine bought it probably from china, looks like EU version.
Anyway phone worked just fine until they turned it off and now they can't boot it cuz of this error.
Setting it to DL mode, and smartswitch can't recognize phone, also when I try to run emergency recover, soft ask me for code which I don't know.
Here is what messages I get on phone:
https://imgur.com/a/l4vZA
Even If I wanted to download firmware, I have no idea which one should I DL.
As I can see android 7.0 is available but still, which one?
I don't have box from this phone to recognize it maybe via S/N number.
This friend probably give it to me later this day, just asking what can I do to fix this phone.
Thank you for any reply.
Flash any G930F firmware to it
TCL (Portugal) seems to be installed atm
Likely scenario, it was rooted, then OEM unlock was disabled, after reboot it FRP locked
Flash stock to fix is usually the way to repair this
can I install 7.0 from here: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7/SM-G930F/
Poland carrier? or should I start with 6.0.1?
Maybe you can restore your phone via samsung smart switch?

The code is the serial of your phone. Otherwise if that doesnt work then downgrade the phone on the latest MM and do bypassing.

The model # shown in download mode is the model # for the motherboard in the phone.
Looks like the sm-930k does not support dual sim: https://www.phonemore.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-sm-g930k/specs/3319

Unfortunately, Odin will not let you cross-flash bootloaders or ROMs. Cross-flashing may even brick the phone.
I recommend returning the phone as soon as possible.

thanks mate your reply's where very helpful
I will do that .. it's my only option
I searched and it seems to me that they were installing a custom rom !
becouse I did install a custom rom and it worked fine before flashing the phone with the SM-G930K
so I will install this one :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/development/rom-superstoc-rom-v1-0-aroma-t3496520
Good luck. Please report back with your results.
Thanks.
- Update -
I just installed TWRP for SM-G930F :
twrp-3.2.3-0-herolte
and then I add the the custom rom :
SuperMan-Rom SM-G930F V3.0.1_O_Final
and now everything is working fine even the sound and duel sim is working too
if we recap on this phone on the back of the phone it said SM-G930FD
and in Samsung download mode is said : SM-G930K
and on the operation system I am using a custom rom that said SM-G930K
by the way I am stuck with the TWRP can I flash back only the stock bootloader ?

You can but changing only the bootloader may cause problems with the installed ROM.
You should only install bootloaders that are meant for the phone model number that is shown on the download screen. Never try to downgrade the bootloader to an earlier version because this may cause additional problems that include bricking the phone.
