any help any one
:fingers-crossed:

You need to go to the at&t section on xda. This section is not for your phone.
Because you don't give any details about the Odin error, I can't help you further.
Most Odin errors can be solved by:
- Other cable
- Other usb port
- Other pc.

phone bricked badly galaxy s6 edge plus

hello ,
i rooted my Phone and did a very stupid thing and in settings i turned of oem unlock and usb debugging off again. so now my Phone wont start cause of the message "custom binary(recovery) blocked by frp lock.
i tried something trough odin for the recovery but it failed so now the Phone wont turn off and when i try to go to recovery mode it says "an error has occurred while updating the device software .use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software"
i tried that but the Phone is not compatible with smart switch and with samsung kies 3.
what can i do to unbrick my Phone , is it possible to fix my Phone after this?
regards, marco

Its because you didnt explored smart switch properly ..
I have been there with my phone samsung galaxy j5 ... it happened just like yours ... i rooted my phone, forgot to check oem unlock and got the "custom binary blocked by frp lock" .. then i went to odin and flashed my firmware .. and it turns out .. the firmware i flashed is not the firmware of my phone .. so i got the message "an error occured while updating blah blah please go to smart switch blah blah blah " but i fixed it so theres solution for that ... smart switch
You said smart switch cant read your device?? Its because its bricked theres no way it can be read ..
So all you have to do:
1. Open smart switch
2. Go to "more"
3. Then go to "emergency software recovery and initialization"
5. Then go to "device initialization"
6.Put your model number and then your S/N or serial number .. it is found in the back of your edge plus.. it starts with letter R..
7.. after that .. you wait .. it will download the files for your phone...
That way you wont be flashing ramdom firmwares .. your phones firmware will be flashed since smart switch used the serial number.. i hope this helps..

Galaxy s6 edge plus error

so i got my hands on a s6 edge plus live demo unit. so i decided to root it but that failed, then i installed a custom rom and it worked. so i tried to install xposed so i booted my phone into recovery mode but i had an error message that said about the frp lock, but now when i boot my phone it keeps booting to recovery mods and i can't boot it normally. so i searched the internet and found nothing, so i tried myself but i got my phone in an akward situation now... when i boot it up i immedtiatly get a screen saying "an error has occurred while updating the device software. use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software". i tried that but it said my device wasn't compatible and even with Kies and Kies 3 i had the same message. and when flash anything with odin even the stock files it says it failed and my phone says that frp lock thingy again... so can anyone help me please because i really want that phone to keep...

My S8 (G950U) is stuck in a bootloop and cannot access download mode

Hi i tried rooting my device a few days ago with odin and it failed. When i tried to reboot it got stuck on the sprint logo. I tried reflashing the stock firmware and now when i try to access download mode it says "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the smart switch pc software." I figured it would be an easy fix but the smart switch app on my pc said my device is unsupported. Odin still knows when my phone is connected but Im second guessing my abilities to do this on my own so any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

How to unbrick?

hi, my s7 edge is on the emergency recovery screen after boot, already tried Smart Switch no success..
already tried install a lot of twrp versions by odin, no success either
tried to install some roms for my phone and got some error, the latest error was saying device 5 and binary 1 or 4 sometimes, i guess this is because my phone was at 8.0 and some rom i got is older right?
So, how can i find a rom with binary 5?
My model is SM-G935FD

This binary error says your bootloader has been updated. The only way to solve this is by installing the latest version of stock rom via odin.

Hello all,
I did something similar i add last update with odin but after restart i get error can't update software. I stupidly turn it off and now is in brick mode I mean nothing happent when i press all possible combination. I order JIG but unfortinaetly did work for S7 it works for my other samsungs. I probably will make my own JIG with 400Kom .
I just thinking any other hardware way to start it.
When i connect to PC i hear the sound connect but after couple seconds disconnect.
Any suggestion what else I can try
