Hello. i think i bricked my phone by trying to update from micro sd with an update for a different version. It can only go into download mode and recovery mode. I treid to follow other guides using Odin to try and fix it but when i connect the phone in download mode to the PC, Odin does not register this. There is nothing wrong with the cable or USB port either. The phone does register though in recovery mode, but nothing happens during this. Please let me know what I should do.
edit: another thing, i also tried using samsung kies to do the same thing, but the phone gets stuck on connecting and doesnt go any further
also, is it actually possible for this phone to run android 4.0+? or did I just ruin a perfectly good phone.
Thanks, adz09
was time to send it to rest, btw did you try installing samsung smart switch then use odin to try to flash the firmware?

So if you fire up ODIN and then put your phone in DOWNLOAD mode and plug it in to your computer, you do not get the com port showing as yellow with a random port number shown?
YES

nevermind i can now use odin properly but i think i got to wait for the 4.3 official firmware to download and use it for odin right? i need the 4.3 OFFICIAL firmware file thts model is sch-1535
Yes, with ODIN you have to use the official firmware releases.
Just remember if you flash the official 4.3 release it will update your boot loader and you won't be able to ODIN back to a previous release and clear your warranty void counter.

Hi i just hard bricked my samsung galaxy core i8262. trying to flash custom kernel make it hard bricked. now i can't turn it on, can't boot to recovery and into the downloading mode. when i try to turn it on or do the combo buttons (keys) to recovery or download mode it only vibrates. BUT when i try connecting my hard bricked samsung to computer it is recognized by computer AND When I install odin and see if the odin detects it well YES it detects my phone. and now I just want to know if i can still flashed my stock firmware to my bricked phone with the odin even if my phone is not in downloading mode? or does usb jig can work it on to downloading mode? ( i dont have usb jig so i dont know yet if it will work on my phone) i didn't yet try flashing my stock firmware using the odin cause im afraid that it will get super hard bricked. Help.

Ok so I had a similar problem with my samsung phone as well where i couldnt go into download mode. So i pretty used the download mode combo(it wasnt in download mode). I just flashed stock firmwere and apparently it worked and you said odin was recognizing it so the best bet is to flash stock firmware via odin even if its not going to download mode
Hope i helped you

My phone is galaxy s6 SM-920T
I was reading on the net when the phone powered off and started restarting and restating again and stuck at book logo "powered by samsung".
I am not able to go into recovery mode but i can open the os download mode.
Tried many times with odin and no luck
I think due to the phone being full encrypted by me nothing can be done, is there any posibility? Thanks
The same here. I cant get into recovery. I had Terminator Rom installed. I can get into download mode but odin doesnt detect it. I eventoght the usb door was damadged so paid 60$ do replace it at samsung. But odin still doesnt not recognize it. Odin does recognize my Samsung Tablet 4.

Have you made sure you have the latest Samsung drivers installed on your computer?( http://developer.samsung.com/technical-doc/view.do?v=T000000117) And after that, try to see if Odin recognize it download mode, after you have confirmed you wanna flash new Rom ( volum up)

I've had cases where you had to put the phone into download mode THEN open Odin for it to be seen. Maybe try that.
With it in download mode and plugged up open devices and printers and scroll to bottom and see if it shows up. Would be called gadget_serial. Some computers take a while to load the drivers for it as well. You may want to click little popup menu on bottom right of desktop by the time and date and see if it shows it is loading drivers for it. It will not show up until the gadget serial drivers are installed.
Thanks for the help. Nothing worked. It doesnt not recognizes the S6 only my Galaxy Tab 4. Could it be that the usb door wasnt repaired proprely ? Windows doesnt even detect the phone no gadget_serial. Nothing.
Make sure that You're using USB 2.0 not 3.0. My Note 4 worked through usb3.0 without any problem. And S6 doesn't. And if Odin reflash won't fix it. Get pit file and flash it with it.

So it doesn't recognize it all all? Doesn't give you unable to read device error or anything?

First thing to try would be flashing stock firmware with Odin.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/rb8iduv2o9i1ece/G920TUVS3DOJC_G920TTMB3DOJC_TMB.zip?dl=0
I recommend Odin 3.10.6
https://www.dropbox.com/s/1dlmxtc0ic7u7ew/Odin3_v3.10.6.zip?dl=0
Report back.
already done, with same results stuck at boot loop, tried to add a custom recovery which got denied by knox

Sounds like DRK may be damaged.
Take the stock OKC firmware and open the archive with 7-zip or winrar and extract the system.img and boot.img.
Download and unzip this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bsreazoonsw4gwv/tar-Tool_Odin3-v3.07_by_mkh.mourad.zip?dl=0
Copy/paste the system.img and boot.img into the software directory and run the batch file. It will spit out a system.tar.md5 and boot.tar.md5
Flash the system.tar.md5 with Odin as AP then flash the boot.tar.md5 as AP.

thank you gonna have to try tomorrow due to bad USB cables, will let you know thank you so much for your help
If all else fails, just boot your phone into download phone and install Samsung Kies and restore it using that.
You will need the model & serial number of your phone. It will restore the latest stock firmware on your phone for you..

You cant, I suggest using a friend or family member's serial number that has the same model phone.. the serial number is a way of identifying the correct carrier specific rom.

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930A. I recently rooted my phone and it was causing alot of problems such as slowdown and bugs. So, I tried to put stock firmware on it and I was unsuccessful. Now my phone is stuck in a boot loop. I need to know how to properly install stock firmware into my phone because I have followed guides on XDA'S website and Odin keeps failing. I really need help with this because I don't even have a working cell phone.

Thank you for the response but when I connected my phone to Kies 3, I got a message that said "we do not support this device". I have also tried Samsung Smart Switch and that did not work either. Is there another method for restoring my phone and getting it out of the bootloop?

Yes i know you get that msg in kies but you still will be able to flash the orig fw back to the device with kies. Just put the phone in download mode before hooking up the phone to the pc then start kies
And go to the top bar and select the 4th tab where you will see recovery. Then it will ask you for the model number and some other things and after that it will flash the fw for you. I have done this a couple of times now so i can tell you 100% that it will work

I'm actually trying to do exactly this now, and have tried re-entering the correct model number and serial number into Kies numerous times.
No matter what, Kies continues to state "Please check the model name and enter it" even though all of the info entered is correct.
Any suggestions? I'm doing this with my G930A on Nougat (model "SM-G930A")
I have a massive problem, after days of research i have found NOTHING..
Ok so i had a rooted samsung galaxy s6, i was getting a bit tired of having it rooted (didnt really serve any purpose) so i decided to unroot via the superSU app then i restarted my phone and it hasn't been able to turn back on ever since.. it'll show the logo over and over again when i try to turn it on. I tried wiping the cache partition, wiping the data, rebooting it every single way possible, no luck..
So i decided i had to flash the Rom using the latest version of Odin but the problem with that is that now my phone isn't getting recognized by my computer i have tried installing the proper drivers, changing usb cables, ports, computers.. I even tried installing samsung smart switch and kies but nothing works.
If anyone knows how to solve this problem please help.

Have you tried to get into download mode and run the emergency recovery feature via smartswitch?
I had the same issue with an old S6. The emergency recovery feature asks you the model and serial number of your device and immediately recovers it when you have a bad software restore.

If you can get to recovery mode, you should be able to get to download mode. Serial #s are easy to find with a simple google search. It will depend on what version of S6 you might have.
