[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDADEVX:
But why two serial numbers then ... Sorry label was firstly on the back of the phone sticked .. I hate something stickers /labels on phone .. must be clear .. They prob. put two units together and they didn't realize they put wrong S/N on label and not from motherboard.. Ok never mind.. Main thing is it's working ....
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nasko_spasko:
Device was hard-bricked, soft-brick is different, It's paperweight. No software fix. Still think It's bad chip though. Dead block or something of the sort. I know It's kinda long thread to read. I personally read through all the posts.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vaira:
OK then the issue must be really before it.

You could try to flash the bootloader separately without reboot ticked and without repartition of course.... Then same procedure try to boot into recovery after flash.....

5.1.1 Bootloader: G925F-XXU2BOGG

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60112855&postcount=3

And the stock recovery separately...

After that I have no more ideas left.....fiddling with the hidden.img and stuff like that makes no sense since the 4 part FW contains anything needed (right pit file to match hidden.img)...if you have tried something thing else suggested by others....restart by flashing the 4 part FW....
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icecoolpsyco:
Ok thanks...

So flash bootoader seperate, but how do i know if the rest of the firmwarw is still on there?

Does it matter? Or do i need to wipe the phone of all files and firmware first? Is thayt even possible?

Is it possible to wipe the phone completely clean, and then try and install and flash separate files?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icecoolpsyco:
So does anyone know the answer to my above question?

Is there a way to completely wipe and clean the phone like a complete format of the phone and memory?

like u wud with a pc hard drive.

And then is it poasible to tey and flash files one by one such as just the recovery and bootloader as suggested above, or a completely fresh clean install of stock firmware?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwog:
Whats the verdict on this then, are we stuck on the updated bootloader?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vaira:
Hard to say since actually the phone should boot....

Actually there should be no issue anymore after flashing the 4 part FW. But there is a reason why it does not go past splash.

Odin is designed to write particular partitions either as binary or as image and to change the size of a few of them using the pit file. Odin leaves all these partitions untouched that are not loaded to flash. But not sure what would happen if the pit tries to resize one that has been bigger before...

We do not know if Odin really writes anything provided and we do not know if Odin really adjusts the partitions to match the image’s size.

By checking the pit you get:

Boot.img (p05). Recovery.img (p06), modem.bin(p08) , system.img(p15), cache.img(p16).hidden.img(p17) can vary in size.

The phone freezes at splash and cannot call recovery.

The reason for it could be:

A combination of partitions/contents that do not work together

A hardware issue.

So my last idea had been to flash all the partitions that can vary and the BL separately. (The full BL file actually consists of 3 partitions sda1/2 and 4)

But anything should be compatible/ come from one package….

Means after 4 parts FW the BL file alone....then try....then the recovery alone after it....and the boot.img alone.....maybe...

AFAIK the first 6 partitions are:

sda1 and sda2 are bootloader related, sda3 holds the EFS (is phone specific/encrypted phone serials, IMEI and identifiers such as MAC address), sda4 is param.bin (part of the BL file, though) and sda5 is boot.img (kernel) and sda6 is the recovery.

We cannot check anything since the phone does not boot……I guess it is stuck somewhere sda1 to sda4....sda5 is the kernel already and sda6 is the recovery...or a pre-check fails....what would make things more complicated...

But we can have a look what’s inside of the 4 part FW and flash parts separately…

As posted already. The phone should boot with the 4 part FW since it contains anything needed.

So either there is a HW issue or Odin did not write/update them all/ or the data of the persistent partition(s) has been damaged

I think if sda1 to sda6 are written correctly (except EFS which should be untouched) and are present the phone should boot at least into recovery…

I never had such an issue at least I could fix such by flashing the full FW and factory resetting the device from recovery....

Feel free to comment my thoughts…..I am just thinking and posting my thoughts…
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmbutler:
In a similar situation, happy to help try things!

OP and Vaira,

I believe my phone may be in a similar state. I described it in this thread (http://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s6-edge/help/unusual-boot-loop-recovery-odin-flash-t3299914). Like OP, I can't get into recovery mode, despite what looks like a successful flash of 4 FW from Odin. I'm currently trying all of Vaira's latest advice about 4 FW with Auto-Reboot turned off, but what I'm finding is that I can't boot to recovery directly from the completed 4 FW flash via Odin. The phone is still unresponsive to the key combination (VolUp-Power-Home) but still responds to Power-VolDown and starts its good ole' boot loop again.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vaira:
I have been curious and googled about people who are/were not able to boot into recovery on the s6 edge ...

One has tried it with TWRP....AND there has been reported that it first did not work, then after reflashing twrp it did work.

Here you can get the latest TWRP and try flashing it in AP: https://twrp.me/Devices/ (FYI would trip KNOX if not already tripped).

The one wiped cache and dalvik (ART) from TWRP and after that the phone booted.....

Finally he flashed the stock FW again and stock recovery worked as well....from there he did a factory reset, the device rebooted and has stuck at "e failed to mount EFS" ...he finally send it to repair since he had no EFS backup....

The only way is trial and error.....

One way is to get a custom recovery working and to be able to wipe it from there....the other way is the stock recovery.....

The oddities are that it sometimes/after several attempts it worked....why? I do not know....
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmbutler:
Warranty replacement issued

Hello Vaira, I've contacted AT&T and it looks like they are going to issue a warranty replacement for my device. I'd strongly prefer not to trip KNOX before sending back my current device. Outside of that, I'm open to trying other steps.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vaira:
I thought your device is the F variant as well...

AFAIK the AT&T devices have got a locked bootloader hence to flash a custom recovery isn't possible either way...

TBH there is not much more you can try but to flash the original stock FW...

Meantime I think that current Odin version is probably not reliable and/or not able to recover a particular 'condition' that appears rarely at some people...

To me there is no comprehensible reason why it doesn't boot recovery after the 4 part FW has been 'successfully' flashed.

It would be interesting to know if to wipe cache/ART or even a factory reset would make it bootable...but I have no idea how to perform these in that condition.

Interesting is that you did not customize/modify your device in any way and it happened anyway.

Sure it simply can be an 'hardware issue'...Samsung mostly replaces the entire mainboard then so we cannot know what exactly had been the problem.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmbutler:
Sorry, no. I have the SM-G925A variant. Prior to the boot loop, I was running Android 5.1.1, using the G925AUCU3BOJ7 FW.

I tried both Odin 3.10.6 and 3.10.7.

The four FW files I flashed were:

AP_G925AUCU3BOJ7_CL5927475_QB6773811_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5

BL_G925AUCU3BOJ7_CL5927475_QB6773811_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5

CP_G925AUCU3BOJ7_CL5927475_QB6773811_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5

CSC_ATT_G925AATT3BOJ7_CL5927475_QB6773811_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5

I'm out of ideas at this point. AT&T has shipped a replacement device, and the gentleman I spoke to in AT&T's advanced technical support didn't have any additional suggestions to try either.

Massive massive thank you to all the guys who have contributed and helped so much on this thread....

Unfortunately never got it to boot past splash screen despite trying every method mentioned above and and a few hundred more... Lol

Well looks like its going back tp samsung...

Hopefully trying to appeal to thier better nature and show them how massive loyal customers we are of thier company with probably over 10 new Samsung devices purchased in last 12 months alone.

So even though knox is tripped will see if they take into account a 16 year olds fearful mistake of trying to fix his phone without parents finding out.

Fingers crossed lets see what samsung can do for us, hopefully will test thier customer services.

Once again big thank u to all for all ur time an effort and contributions... Some amazing knowledge out there...

And i also learned a lot thru the process which will help with other devices in future...

So the mystery remains...

Lol i guess it wud be cheeky to ask samsung what the actual fix was... Hehehe

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b1nuzz:
Hi,

Ive searched the forums, but this seems to have very limited coverage.

I have a AFTV2 and a AF Stick. Both of them seem to be very grey in colour.

In one TV i can correct this on the TV, however the other one is going via a AVR so cannot correct it without effecting everything else attached to the box.

The blacks are very crushed for some reason, when watching a film, the black letterbox is very grey, rather than black. It puts the colour out across the whole spectrum.

I have read something about RGB limited vs RGB Full but don't know anymore about it, or how to change it.

Help would be appreciated.

Many thanks

hi folks,

I'm

pretty much sure

I cannot get my ARC unlocked and rooted - but post here as one last desperate hope.

primarily this is because I do not get a blue light when holding Menu and connecting to PC

and also because when I type *#*#7378423#*#* into my phone I don't get shown an option for 'Rooting Status' in 'Configuration'

this is also the reason I did not follow the procedure at Sony: http://developer.sonymobile.com/unlockbootloader/

what I do get is shown in the attached photos - so if anyone can make sense of those and either suggest a way that I may yet succeed,

or at least put me out of my misery I would be very grateful indeed.

thanks,

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brokaaa:
hey,

a couple of months ago I dropped my phone, damaging the touchscreen (unresponsive & dark since then). However, the rest of the device seems to work. A couple of weeks ago, I plugged the device into my PC and saved my stuff from the SD card. In the meantime, I updated my PC from win7 (x64) to windows 10 and now the device does not show up any more in the windows explorer.

I tried to connect it to my girlfriends PC (win7 x64) and here, the device shows up but is "empty" (no files & folders visible).

I downloaded Android SDK on both machines and tried to run ADB commands like "adb devices", but it won't show the device on either of the two machines.

Next, I tried to do it on my macbook. After downloading Java and Android SDK, I navigated to the folder in the terminal and tried to run "adb devices", but all I get is the response "-bash: adb: command not found"

the phone is connected to the machines and USB debugging on the phone should be enabled (otherwise I would not have been able to save my stuff from the SD card previously, right?)

what am I doing wrong?

thanks for any advice

I have a Vzw LG G2 VS980 updated to stock 5.0.2 Lollipop, rooted, and I disabled a bunch of stuff I don't use.

The only complaint I have with my G2 is that I sometimes can't get connected to public WiFi networks that require accepting terms in a web browser, like in Kohl's, Panera, some Starbucks, and some hotels, but it works fine at McDonald's, Meijer, other coffee shops, and other hotels. Where it doesn't work, the web page won't open, giving an error, ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED, and I've tried it in multiple browsers, with no success. If I'm at a hotel for an extended stay where I can't connect to WiFi, I can call the WiFi tech support, and they can add my G2's IP address into their system so I can connect during my stay.

Hello,

I'm in a dire situation.

my Samsung note 2 (N7100) has a faulty display (LCD started blacking out and now is completely black).

I am trying to access it via droid@screen but unsuccessfully - this could be due to the fact I have a PIN to access my phone and/or USB debug not being activated.

I have tried to enter the PIN but not sure whether that was successful or not (I tried to get an idea of where the numbers are by looking at another samsung..).

I am following this thread to find out how to get droid@screen to work (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2786395&nocache=1 ) but I'm not sure how to proceed.

- where do the instructions need to be put? is that ADB shell?

- are there any other ways to recover the contents of my phone?

[Windows 10 Mobile] Heathcliff74:
Hi!

Small note: If you use the "Flash ROM" function of Windows Phone Internals, it allows you to select a Zip-file. If the Zip-file contains partition images (like your zip-file), it will extract the partitions on-the-fly and flash them straight to the phone. So you don't need to extract the partitions first. Windows Phone Internals will do that for you. It will decompress in-memory, so you don't need a lot of temporary space to extract the partitions.
