Hi, I recently became a Galaxy S6 Edge+ as a gift, which is stuck on the Samsung Logo (blinking). I am not new to flashing Firmware and Roms (came from the HTC HD2 and Dell Streak 5), but everything I do, I can not come through this. Now I need your help, since it's my first Samsung device. Maybe I have something forgotten?
My device:
SM-G928F with Regional Code AUT (free Switzerland firmware) --> Also Samsung Smart Switch shows me this AUT Version (but it wont recognize it, shows it after typing in the serial)
What have I done:
Samsung Smart Switch does not recognize it.
The last 24 hours I have downloaded the firmware through SamFirm 4 times, I have flashed the phone via Odin about 8 times, after the flashs I have wiped the cache and resettet data (full wipe) through the recovery. One time, the phone came to the android optimatization, but it was stuck on the last app (was 30 minutes on this), after reboot it was stuck on the Samsung logo.
Now I need your help. What can I do further? Do I missed something? Any ideas?
Something strange I noticed: When the phone is off and I plug it in to the wall, the battery drains. I have to put the phone to Download-Mode to charge it. Is it linked to the firmware problem? The charger is original Samsung.
So, I flashed TWRP, the Note7 Deodexed Rom and SkyHigh kernel, but it's the same... any sugestions?
I read about a pit file, what is that? May be this the solution?
What I did the last 3 houers was to test Smart Switch With the mac version, the rescue function did not work, the hole program crashed each time. On the windows version it suceed, but my phone is showing just the blinking Samsung logo. Every now and then it vibrates, but nothing happens, so I am at the start of the problem again. Any ideas?
Next update: I flashed the original firmware with a pit file 3 minutes ago. I learned a lot, learnt that the pit files are the partition-files. Now I'm hoping, that with the new partitions it will boot properly :good: . Stay tuned!
Still the same issue. Please help me
Whenever I start the Recovery, it says "installing system update" and then there is a dead Android, does this matter?
A 4 part firmware with pit file did not help. I downloaded another Firmware from another source, also the same. Now I will do a downgrade and look, if this helps. Pleeeeease, help me!

Maybe the TWRP Log helps: There are errors in writing, is there something missing? It is the original firmware, with the newest TWRP and SuperSU installed. Still stuck on Samsung (animated) logo.
Listen do you have windows on ur mac i use parallels

Same here
Hello,
I'm quite new here, but not with flashing.
My son got an S6 Edge plus too, with almost the same problem.
I tried also almost anything, the last few days.
ADB sideload, Odin several versions.
It started out with FRP lock.
After I tried al I could find I think it bricked.
And now it is in the state as described above.
Only first screen and draining the battery if not in download mode.
And when I put it on USB cable it says: "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software."
But Smart Switch doesn't recognise the phone!
I can however get the phone in download mode by pushing vol. down, power and home and then vol up.
But in Odin only works: Pit, CP and CSC.
With AP and BL I get errors and fails.
Please help?
For me AP and BL works with Odin. I am a step furhter now. First I flashed with the option: Erase All Nand. Then I installed TWRP and a made a repair for the System and the Caches partitions. With SuperSU installed, and the caches wiped (manual, dalvik and normal caches), it says "Android is starting, Optimizing Apps" and then "Androis is starting, Starting Apps" on a blue screen and when it loads to the end, it is stuck there.
.You get only the first Samsung S6 Edge+ Screen? Then the system files are missing, there is no OS to start (flashed with AP in Odin). Your flash problem sound quite strange. Did you test another cable?
If you want to do it with Smart Switch, the phone should be in download mode. I also had to try it several times. Did you installed the drivers?
@ KatariaMax: I have Windows and Mac PCs, no Parallels. Does it work with Parallels?
So, one problem less. With the Audax rom and kernel, the phone charges normally (but not with Quickcharge), so I don't have to put the phone to download mode. But here is the same problem, after "starting apps" it is stuck. I will do a log from the install, maybe this helps.
@ HugoGroot: Maybe the second post could be the solution for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/s6-bricked-t3497687
I read about Sony devices, which are in a bootloop because of the battery. Could this be possible also for Samsung devices? I have bought a battery, just to be sure. Any other suggestions?

Hello,
So being the careless idiot that I am, it appears that my S7 Edge is soft bricked.
When I boot it up, I'm presented with "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC Software"
I can still access the Download Mode.
When I try to access the Recovery Mode, there's the blue text in the top left corner and then the phone reboots in a loop while trying to get into recovery mode.
I tried the Smart Switch software, but it doesn't recognize my phone so I'm unable to use it.
In Download Mode:
RP SWREV: B4 (2, 1, 1, 1, 1) K1 S3
What firmware can I flash to get this thing up and running again? I just recently upgraded to Nougat through the OTA update.
Sorry to trouble you guys with my foolishness. Ugh..
EDIT:
Downloading the latest 6.0.1 firmware and flashing via ODIN took care of my problem.

Samsung Galaxy J5 Prime - SM-G570F
Build - MMB29K.G570FXXU1AQB5
OS - Android Marshmallow 6.0.1
I tried to root the OS. I managed to connect to ODIN and did a recovery from a recovery file shared over internet. However that recovery has a password pattern which didn't allow me to access my phone. After several attempts phone showed a message saying that phone will reset to factory settings. After which phone stuck at Initial LOGO.
Please provide some inputs in getting my phone operational.
Dear Experts, Please help!

There may be two things which may be done
1. Since you've done factory reset The first boot may take some time so wait for 20min and make sure it's working
2. If it's not working yet . Then the recovery file you've have flashed is wrong or you've flashed in the wrong partition . There is also chance that you've interupted the process.
These flashing tools are somewhat complicated I've faced many problems because if any settings weren't set correctly then it would mess all your mobile and also the version you use is very important..
So, contact the developers who are working for the specified mobile for more help. Because they would have over come these issues .
Suggestion:- Never Experiment the odin on your mobile without knowing the every detail before
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
I have a Samsung S10+ (SM-G975F) that was flashed with stock Android 10 from Telstra (Australia).
However, I'm in the U.K.!
How do I fix this? The phone won't update OTA and I don't really want to root it.
How can I use heimdall to flash it on Linux? (No access to a Windows machine for Odin)
I downloaded a rom from Sammobile for Android 12 / United Kingdom O2 (which is the network I'm on)
but it's a .zip file and Heimdall doesn't even look at it.
I can't adb sideload the .zip as the phone sits there for ages and does nothing.
If I try to load the .zip from sdcard the phone does nothing with it and powers down.
Any ideas?

I tried to change the CSC using *#272*<MY IMEI NUM>* but I just get "Unknown Application"
Well, I ended up bricking it. Tried flashing with Heimdall, it got halfway through .. when it hit system the USB shut down and refused to talk to the phone. Meanwhile, the phone had a message: "OEM lock" and wouldn't install the new system.
Now the phone won't even power on. Tried hard reset, recovery mode, safe mode.. nothing works. Just a blank screen. Battery was at full power too.
