Android OS deleted - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I accidentally deleted Android system OS while in TWRP. Now I can boot into download mode and soft reset mode. I am unable to boot into recovery mode. When I boot into rest mode the Samsung S8 displays and stays there.
I have Samsung ADB drivers installed in my Win 10 laptop. It i can detect my other Samsung phones but not my S8 thus I am unable to flash the stock Android 9 ROM with odin nor the all in one Samfirms tool AIO V2.1
My local Samsung service centre technicians told me its a motherboard problem but I don' t agree as it should be a software problem
Please advise next course of action. Thanks in advance!

[Q] Bricked Intex Cloud FX

I am a newbie in android world. I recently acquired a Intex Cloud FX and decided to play with it. I managed to initiate a ADB connection between phone and by PC (running Win7) and accidentally wiped the system partition by Fastboot commands ( I regret it) . Now the device starts and display only intex splash screen, I have tried every possible key combination to enter the recovery mode but the device boots up only to display the splash screen and nothing else. The Firefox OS that came with the device is now wiped and my phone has no OS and I would be very grateful if any person helps me to recover my device.
Thank You .

LG G2 D805 Hard-Bricked. Solutions?

So I'm an argentinian guy that had just bought a LG D-805 device and was so in love with his phone that now, I'm desesperated.
I installed CM 12.1 (NIGHTLY) a few days ago, didn't like it, so downloaded a ROM of "OFFICIAL" 4.4.2 Android for my LG device.
Couldn't install it properly, so I tried re-installing CM 12.1 form my custom recovery (The Win Recovery project v2.7.0).
It seemed to have been installed successfully, as the recovery software was telling me "CM 12.1 was successfully installed".
Then, without giving recovery permissions to root my phone, i tapped on "Reboot System".
What happened next is something unknown for me.
I'm not able to enter recovery mode, emergency (download) mode, fastboot mode, etc. and the screen doesn't even turn on ('cause sometimes it's on but not showing anithing, but in this case, it´s not turning on).
I did research and found out something about QUALCOMM QHSUSB_BULK. What I found out was that, if my PC detects many disks from an unknown device, I could execute some CMD files to get download mode back and if I had download mode back, I could re-install Android.
As I am not a lucky person, my PC detects the qhsusb_bulk device, but does NOT show any disk or partition; it does NOT ask me for formatting anything. I tried installing QUALCOMM DRIVERS, but it's still the same.
I start to think it's a motherboard problem, that I'll have to replace it, but don't know if there is another easier (and cheaper) way to have my phone back.
Any suggestions?

Stuck on Samsung Logo Odin and Wipe done

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!
Infos from the download mode:
Produkt Name: SM-G928F
CA_Type: CA_3
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System status: Custom
Secure Download: Enabled
Know warrenty void: 1 (0x0203)
RP SWREV: B:3 K:0 S:1
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
but do you have windows anyhoe

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?

SM-G570F Doesnt get into Recovery Mode and Download mode stuck at logo

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.

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

Were you using a custom recovery? (i.e. TWRP)? If so, are you able to boot into recovery? It was a few years ago but whenever that happened to me I would have to use the hard reset option. If I remember correctly, on my LGG2, I would hold down the power button and the volume down button at the same time until the LG logo appears, then right when it appears, release and re-press both buttons again holding them down again until the hard reset option showed. Then when it asked me if I was sure I wanted to reset my phone, select yes (it made nervous the first ten times or so). Eventually I began to trust it would, in fact, do what I was informed it would do which was boot into TWRP without actually resetting anything. From there I was always able to flash a new ROM etc. Anyway, if you knew all that sorry, just trying to help. If not, please get second opinions since I will not be held responsible for your device and since it's been years since I tinkered with mine. Having a Samsung now, I don't mess with it cause rooting a Samsung Note trips Knox and then Samsung Pay is disabled.
Anyway, happy flashing and best of luck to you. It was an awesome hobby while I was involved with it.
Cheers!
