Gear Bricked I think - Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am trying to restore my Gear using Odin 3.07 and "all samsung recovery" as per the instructions on another forum.
I have tried numerous times but everytime I try this Odin hangs/freezes on "NAND Write Start!!!"
All I have on the screen is two yellow triangles with (Firmware Upgrade encountered a issue. Connect to Kies but it will not boot into recovery or download, or restart If I hold the power button down for about 8 seconds it simply puts the triangle screen back on. Kies won't even recognise it neither will my pc even when I WAS able to get into debugging. Now I can't do anything with it.
Many thanks Simon

[Q] Stuck at boot screen - Odin gives "complete(write) operation failed

Ok so this is my first post, hope I'm in the right section. This will be a long post as I've tried everything I could find to fix my problem.
So I bought a Fido Samsung Galaxy S4, I9505 SGH-I337M from an online auction site (not ebay). The phone is completely stock, its not rooted, no customer recovery, nothing. Phone was in wayyyyy better shape than I expected, I would say near mint with original box, charger, cable etc. Everything worked great except the wifi, as other people have reported it would not turn on, toggle switch would move over and attempt to turn on, but after 15 seconds or so it would switch back to off. I also tried 3rd party apps to manage wifi connections without any luck. It was running the firmware ending in NE1 so I thought updating it to the newer firmware, NI2, might have this fix. Since I couldn't connect to wifi I figured I should do it manually following the instructions I found on sammobile.com. So I downloaded Odin 3.07 and the new firmware that IS the right one for my phone. I shut off the phone, pulled the battery, put it back in, and put it into download mode. I connected the phone, Odin detected it, I selected the firmware and press start. It took a few minutes and then failed (this was a few days ago, I don't remember the exact error I received). So, I tried again but it kept failing, so I shut off the phone, pulled the battery and turned it on. It booted to the screen with the exclamation mark that says a firmware error occurred and to use Kies to recovery it. I tried using Kies but it wouldn't detect the phone. I ended up using a fix I found that had me flash some file that started with philz_touch something like that. It was from a youtube video called "firmware upgrade encountered an issue for s4 fix".
And that fixed that part, as I could now get back into download/odin mode. When I turn the phone on it just sits at the "Samsung Galaxy S4" screen, no blue light or flashy graphic. It will just sit there forever. Obviously there is a problem so here is what I've tried so far to get Odin to work.
Using Odin 3.07 I tried flashing the firmware ending in NE1. Odin confirmed MD5, but after pressing start only a few seconds later I get "There is no PIT partition"
So I tried to find a PIT file and did. So I shut off the phone, unplugged it, pulled the battery, and put it back into download mode. I closed and reopened Odin 3.07 and used the PIT file I found and the NE1 firmware. This time it failed again within seconds with the error saying "complete(write) operation failed". I have tried 3 different firmwares, with 3 different USB ports, with and without the PIT file, and with both Odin 3.07 and Odin 3.10. I've also tried doing it with my antivirus deactivated. Samsung Kies still won't detect my phone when its connected, but Odin detects it every time.
When I try going into recovery mode I get
"Recovery booting.....
Recovery is not Seandroid enforcing
Set warranty bit : recovery"
It just sits there and nothing happens. Pressing any button does nothing except power as I can shut it off.
So I'm at a complete loss of what to try next. I've tried every solution I could find so I'm hoping someone has a suggestion of what I could try. PLEASE HELP ME!!
Me too! Help!

S7 Edge stuck on samsung logo

Hello,
I have a problem with my samsung galaxy s7 edge. When I try to put it on the samsung logo appears for a second or two and then I see a black screen again, there is also written 'Kernel is not seandroid enforcing' in red letters in the left corner of the screen. Nothing seems to help, I don't know a lot of these android things, but I have been looking on the internet and i have tried a lot of things. First of all I've tried a hard reset (press and hold the power, volume up and home buttons), when I do this, I get the same screen as I put it on, but now there is 'Recovery is not seandroid enforcing' in the left corner instead of 'Kelner'.
Then, when I press and hold the power, volume down and home buttons and I click continue, my phone comes in download mode. I've seen a video about about a factory reset out of download mode so I thought there was still hope. The only problem is that I cannot connect my phone with my PC neither. My PC can't recognize my phone. I've tried to use different USB cables, I've installed USB Drivers on my PC, but nothing seems to help. I've tried to use ODIN, Smart Switch and Samsung kies, but they can't find my S7 Edge. There is also an option where you can enter the buildnumber and SN thing (idk) of your phone and I've tried that to. The only thing that happens is my phone who begins to charge and a sound on my PC that says that he is connected to a device, but he can't see him.
I really don't know what I have to do now, does somebody has a solution to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance.

When did this issue start happening? Did you try to install something custom before this issue started?
If you can get into download mode, you can fix it. Try another PC with Odin. With the drivers installed and in download mode, Odin will pick it up. Once the phone is shown in Odin, flash stock.
I presume you have tried to root it or something, perhaps using a method for a different phone which explains why it won't boot. Or perhaps you have tried to flash TWRP?
.
Thanks, I'll try it with a different PC and yes I've rooted my phone to install xposed framework but this was like a year before this problem happend and I think I have unrooted my phone after.

I bricked my Samsung Galaxy Tab A p-355

I'm new to rooting phones and stuff. So I tried to root my tab and followed a guide that told me to download Odin v3.11 and enable USB debugging in my tablet and I did. And as soon as I flashed twrp and tried to restart my tablet, the screen went blank. I tried opening it by holding the power its just blank. I tried plugging it in my computer and I think it recognizes the tablet because it makes the sound the computer makes when you plug a usb. But Odin won't recognize it.
Solved the problem.
Anyway as I said I want to root my phone but when going to twrp the screen is just blank. Any suggestions?
Hi all....
I've same problem too.
After try flash with Odin 3.11 and p355 firmware, after process clear, and Odin show "PASS", my phone turn off it self, and never come back again. Display just blank, so I can't go to download mode or recovery mode.
Try push power button for long time, still no respond. But if push many time home, vol down/up tab still shaking, but display just blank.
Any one here can help me how to solve my problem.
Note:
Tab is brand new, but has been lock for Prudential insurance.
Thanks.

Bricked S8s after software update.

Hi. Browsed for ages and always come here for answers.
Here's my problem.
2x S8s. SM-950f.
Updated to most recent software through software update. Both phones were glitchy and crashing and just generally irritating after.
Factory data reset etc. This did not resolve the problems, also led to one of them having issues with FRP (annoying)
Used Odin to try and flash the latest firmware (from sammobile, UK BTU) after flashing both, they reset and powered on. Got stuck at the S8 screen.
Restarted then both were at the "an error occurred during update" screen.
Managed to get back to download screen. Re checked the software and model numbers, even that the bootloader was the correct version etc. All was fine.
Connected to Odin, shows that it is connected, but nothing happens when clicking start.
Now after attempting that, both phones will not power on.
(One will when placed on the wireless charger, but just sticks at S8 screen) and download mode or reset screen can not be accessed. So, not exactly happy. And totally out of ideas
Any suggestions, beyond taking it to a shop to see if anyone can help.
yes .....dont tuch the phones for 24 hours let the battery die ...it will...connect to pc and then try download mode....u may need to press combination for like 1 minute to get to download mode....flash twrp reboot directly into it when odin says successfully .....wipe system data ....dont turn on phone download any custom rom flash and enjoy.....it will trip knox but worth than getting a new board....
Okay, will give that a try.
TWRP?
TWRP install
https://dl.twrp.me/dreamlte/twrp-3.2.3-0-dreamlte.img.tar.html: Download link for twrp SM-G950F (dreamlte)
Just said, wait until your device powers off due battery insufficience. Plug cable and hold at the same moment vol(down)+bixby+power. Then press vol(up) at the warning screen to proceed to odin mode. Let it charging a while like 1 h. Then unplug it and plug it to your pc. In Odin select ap the previous downloaded file. Take your mobile in your hand. With one hand, prepare your fingers to vol(up)+bixby and with the other hand start the flashibg process. Be careful, and take your hand directly from the mouse if you clicked start in odin, and position your one finger to power button, but dont click. If odin start pass, press immidiately the buttons (vol(up)+bixby+power) and let it to start into recovery. If you arrived to recovery, reply to us if not search for help!!!
Good luck
memreb

Okay, downloaded TWRP, can get phone calls nected to Odin but when I extract TWRP it doesn't give a valid file type.
Am I being dumb.
No files appear that Odin will recognise.
Also just shows as "recovery" no .tar or anything
Ignore above. Corrupted download.
Sorted.
Now when flashing TWRP is gets to a fail due to
"Complete (write) fail

Not sure what stage your at and maybe some more useless ideas
1. Trying to flash twrp is kinda of useless if you can't get into your system need oem unlock for that.
2. Have you tried taking out Sim card and SD card and reboot.
3. If you can at least boot try smart switch as it has a emergency recovery option.
4. Trying rebooting in safe mode.
All been attempted
