I tried installing UK firmware on my Galaxy S8+ using Odin, but it got stuck at system.img and now I can only boot the phone into download mode.
I've tried installing the original firmware as well but it also gets stuck at system.img.
Has this happened to anyone else? And is there anything I can do to fix this or am I ****ed?
Thank you very much in advance for any help
Did you use the most recent version of Odin (v3.13.1) ?

Yeah I did.
I've spent half the day trying to fix this, but it actually seems to be hard bricked.
All I wanted was the Pie Beta
If your Odin and files are right it might be the cable, if you're not using the original cable it causes that it happend to me many times. Hope this helps you

Well that is a very dangerous process and should not be done if u dont have any major issue but since u have pretty much death phone as u say it cant hurt to try as a last option.
Google what nand erase is in odin option,it will explain much better then me [emoji14]
Wish you all luck
Edit : try and see if u can find any emergency firmware aka repair firmware for you s8 if it exists and flash with that

Since u trying to flash samsung official firmware it shouldn't matter. Dont know what to advice as u tried pretty much everything i would do.
Maybe someone with more insights and knowledge what to do could help you but dunno.
Search the web all i can say.
Can u boot into the recovery? Maybe try to flash twrp and format everything from there ?

I think I've gone through every forum post and article on the internet about the issue, can't seem to find a solution.
Can't boot into recovery either, only download mode. I'll keep trying and I'll see if I can send it in for repair.
Thanks for your help, really appreciate it.

Have you fixed it already? If not try flashing everything with odin and also in 'Pit' tab put dreamlte .pit file from inside CSC .md5 file(open with rar)
Double check your files make sure you're not flashing an old fw and your Odin
After that, you probably try to flash using a non original data cable, its not a must but some cables can cause that

I've triple-checked everything. Both Odin and the files are all up to date, and the files are from the same firmware I had on the phone before it got bricked.
I'm going to try using firmware from SamMobile instead of SamDB.org, and will post back with results.
UPDATE:
Flashed firmware from SamMobile, it went through and my phone works again. Can't believe I spent $7 on SamDB for faster download speed and all I got was some files that don't even work properly. Next time I'll be more patient I guess

Go to sammobile.com. you can find stock firmware there. You have to register but it's free. You'll download a zip file, use 7-zip to extract the .tar.md5 file from it. Use that in Odin.

Use mdl. Odin is a separate program and is not us or Canada. Read this guide and use the tar.md5 for your device http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26056924

When you use Odin, let it do its thing. It'll take 10 to 20 minutes. Don't panic in the middle and unplug the usb. Be patient. And make sure you use the file you're downloading from sammobile. Don't use any of the links in the guide, except Odin. The other files are not for your device and they will brick you.

Did you have "repartition" checked in ODIN? Because if you did, you shouldn't have.
If not, try to get into recovery (if you can) and try a factory reset.

For some reason my recovery wont work? maybe thats it? all i know is my recovery wont boot, and i flashed a bad kernel. I have my twrp backup on my external sd
Also... all i had checked was auto reboot and f. reset time. I flashed the reset file with pda box checked.
forgot to add. i flashed the file with those two boxes checked and it said pass. I think it must be the kernel or the recovery? how do you flash these in odin? I bet if i can track down the stock kernel and get twrp again it may boot.

If you are positive you can not get into 3e recovery, you might want to go to the OUDHS CWM thread in the development section and look at the OP for a method to install that recovery via ADB shell. If you can get it installed, you can then flash another ROM to get up and running. Then, if you desire, you can use GooManager to put TWRP back on your phone and restore a working Nandroid you might have. Or you can just set things up from scratch. But all of this is only if you can get into recovery or get a recovery installed back onto your phone.
If you tried to install the wrong Kernel for your phone, you might be hard bricked, in which case Jtag might be your only hope.

I hope you get it figured out. But let me tell you what I DID and had the same outcome with NO RECOVERY at all, black screen with vibrate only. So what your describing sounds EXACTLY what happened to mine.
So I was "TRYING" to make a custom splash screen as I had for my SGS3. (Which messed with the kernel). When I went to boot up after the flash it did the black screen with vibrate.
I COULD get into DOWNOIAD mode but not recovery at all. I tried for a few days. I was worried my battery would be getting low after trying for a few hours. I tried to plug it in and the battery came up but it acted like it was stuck and nothing would happen.
Next I tried to use Odin to flash back to MDL stock firmware. It would flash and said completed. But upon reboot same half/vibrate screen.
Next I tried MDB firmware. STILL a NO GO. I had to send it in for JTAG. I think they had some issues getting it working as well. It arrived on a Thursday, and they did not finish getting it to where their site showed it was completed for 8 days. Then it didn't get sent out for another day. It finally arrived at my house 10 days after they received it. But GLADLY they were able to fix it. So good luck to you. If you do have to resort to JTAG it cost me a total of $90, Almost $30 dollars for me to TWO DAY it to them. $60 for JTAG and rush delivery.

Sorry to hear Odin didn't work. Odin does put the stock recovery on your phone in the correct partition if every thing goes correctly. But if your hard bricked Odin won't recovery the phone.
Try what Scott suggested but it's looking like jtag may be your best option at this point.

hell yeah this phone is hard bricked. But att was cool and let me return for a new one. Really no questions asked as long as you didnt damage it or get it wet. Rip to my first gs4.

My phone just suddenly stopped working earlier today.it was running the latest omega rom with the latest modem and boot loader. ...
I cant get into recovery either. When I try it just reboots and goes to the samsung boot screen.my phone is a sim free insurance replacement and im not sure what stock rom to flash...
Could some nice soul just tell me the exact rom thats needed.
Its a uk based I9505 .
Please some one help as im away from home atm and have no way of contacting anyone.i have laptop and a dongle so can at least download and flash.
What ever has happened has corrupted it somehow.
I can still get into download mode how ever.
Id be eternally grateful if there is some nice soul to.help me
Just download and flash this with the latest Odin. Boot in download mode.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=33356
This is the latest German FW that Omega is based. It has the "OXA" Multi-CSC, which also includes BTU (United Kingdom)
After flash you will not have any problem retrieving all your data, as long as you don't factory reset.

If it remains on the Samsung boot logo, then try to flash the same firmware with the .pit file and "Re-Partition" flag checked in Odin.
If still doesn't boot, then you have to enter recovery mode to wipe data/factory reset the device

I don't think it is the buttons problem because when I try to enter the recovery mod the blue text appears on top left, do u have any idea what hardware-wise could be the problem ?
Did you try flashing the stock recovery in ODIN? If you can make it work do a factory reset then try flashing a stock ROM again. It sounds like something is corrupted, I have had the same problem many times and stock recovery can always fix it with a factory reset.

hi
running out of ideas...
did you try what post 8 said?
when you flashed the stock rom did you used a newer or same type of rom you had in the device? Odin will not let you flash stock rom with older bootloaders than the one that the device has.
Flash a stock firmware again, but this time, flash a PIT file at the same time as the stock ROM. Make sure to get the right PIT file for your phone model.
Remember to add the PIT file to Odin - If you flash your phone with repartition checked and no PIT file selected, you will break your phone!!
If you've been using custom ROMs, chances are that their partition layout is not a stock layout, and that would explain why flashing a stock ROM isn't working for you..

To be honest mate, if you don't know what you're doing you really shouldn't be messing around with pit files. Please read up before flashing stuff.. Here's a good link for you:

And here's your file, for when you're ready for it..
https://www.dropbox.com/s/t1lvy5oa5mxk3xh/I9505_pit_file.zip?dl=0
Flash the pit file at the same time as the stock firmware. If it still doesn't work then flash the pit file on its own after you've installed the stock firmware.
But most importantly, have a good read of that thread I linked you to.
Please post back, let me know how it goes..
Hi guys, i have some big problems with my n910f, tried to upload a pic to facebook and my phone crashed.
It simply does nothing, not booting, not charging, download and stock recovery are working.
I tried everything possible>
*flashed 3 different stock firmwares with odin
*tried a pit file repartion in odin
*wiped cache, did a few factory resets from stock revovery
*bought a new battery
*tried to root and flash a custom recovery but doesnt work
It is simply as bricked as it could be, the only information about this i have is stock recovery telling me unable to mount /data
So it seems my filesystem got corrupted as hell
The question is, how do i repair it?
Like i said pit file and bootloader flash did nothing, odin lets me flash everything without an error but it doesnt help.
I assume i could somehow repair it with adb fastboot but how?
Any help is welcome!

It may or may not help but I would sure try Kies. You NSFW get done errors like Kies telling you is not compatible bit but I would try the firmware initialization.

Well i forgot to mention that i tried kies aswell, everyhting went good but didnt help, still nothing.
It confuses me a bit that it doesnt even charge, could a broken filesystem lead to this?

I am not sure what parts of the system need to be working for the battery to be able to charge. Good luck.

i have the same problem, do you know where can we find the complete 5 files (pit pda bl csc phone) for flashing with odin?
its the only thing i haven't already tried.
I manage to fix the issue with storage partition, i used a pit file and the one file firmware in csc button, that made the hole data partition rewriten again so the phone is able to boot properly.
Hope you gays this may help.
Happy new year!!

Sorry pal, i better watch my grammar, i ment guys.
Hi guys, Ive searched and searched, but couldnt find anything that worked for me, so I apologize if this has been answered before.
I attempted to root my GS6 Sprint phone, and something has gone wrong. When the phone reboots the touch screen doesnt work at all and it doesnt find any cell signals.
I flashed to S6-UniKernel_v6-0001-ODIN, the firmware on the phone at the time was 5.1.1.
I tried to flash back using G920PVPU1AOCF_G920PSPT1AOCF_G920PVPU1AOCF_HOME.tar. but I get "FAILED" every time.
So I tried to install twrp-2.8.7.1-zeroflte.img, and that seemed to install fine, but I cant reset because even in TWRP I have no use of my touch screen.
I am using the samsung cable, and it does go to the Downloading mode, but as soon as I click start it fails.
Anyone that can help me fix this I would gladly paypal the cost of a six pack. (Mods if this isnt allowed please let me know)
Okay so here is what fixed it for anyone else like me that is a noob, and does dumb stuff to their phone. You cant roll back to old firmwares. You have to flash to the latest firmware that was on the phone or newer. I found the updated firmware and its good to go.

Minor correction. You can use the version that you started with or a later version. The only problems come if you try to use an earlier version, like going from 5.1.1 back to 5.0.2. Which won't work.
Here is the latest version available, should always work: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087002159
Odin is available here: http://www.samsungodindownload.com/

Anybody? Literally ANY idea is worth a shot at this point.
Did you use Odin to root the device? What options did you set?

Thanks for the reply Zooklok, I did use Odin, and I didnt change any settings.
So checked boxes under options are;
Auto Reboot
F. Reset Time
Thats all. I clicked "AP" to load the firmware, then clicked start.
Hello.. Assuming your phone is already rooted. Pls follow the below procedure
1. Restart and let the phone biot. Plug in your usb and insert a new for installation purpose
2. Hold and press power+up+home button to boot into recovery
3. Format and reflash the new rom
Should works like a charm

Okay so I grabbed the lastest ODIN and was able to go back to the stock recovery. I performed a wipe/factory reset, but it still wont let me use the touch screen! ARG! It didnt clear the new kernel. Could it be because Im flashing to an older firmware? I cant find 5.1.1 anywhere...

Is the a Galaxy s6 or a S6 edge+ of edge+ you've been flashing the wrong firmwares, which would explain the issues you're having
Try a different cable or usb port or redownload the firmware file as it may be corrupted.
Press thanks if I helped.
You're on the wrong forum. This is for the Edge+. You have a S6. Not Edge, not +.

Its the regular S6, not the edge. So the firmware is correct?

Dang! Mods can we move this? Sorry guys.
Guys thanks for helping me out with this, all the responses are appreciated.
UPDATE! FIXED IT!
I tried a different root method
http://trueandroid.com/g920pvpu2bof...mware-sprint-galaxy-s6-sm-g920p-how-to-guide/
This worked the first time, and restored the touchscreen functions. Thank you everyone for your help.

Ok I know one thing for sure, you are not the first to face this but it seems to be solved by flashing the tar file for your device. More info here http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s6/help/custom-binary-blocked-frp-lock-t3152054
Good luck
Don't forget to Press that thanks button ?.
