[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] superboy123:
as said by kubap, Mediatek and Nvidia devices (except that nexus 7) won't get their source code released so developers can't build any stable ROM from source, that's why you get ported or no roms.

And MTK Redmis are banned in India right now. Whole India has only Snapdragon RN3. Snapdragon edition is the most popular all over the world. So the developers are mainly from China.

I woke up yesterday and found my phone dead.

It keeps rebooting and I am stuck on the Samsung logo screen.

The notification light on the upper left side stays on when the phone has power.

I am NOT able to get in recovery mode, but I can get in download mode.

Holding the power button won't turn off the phone, I have to hold volume down + power button to turn it off.

Things that I've tried:

1. Kies and Smartswitch (Succeed! But the phone won't go further than the Samsung logo screen and it continues to reboot and reboot)

2. flashing firmware downloaded from sammobile with odin (I've downloaded 3 firmwares, two 6.01 and one 5.11, the two 6.01 work, it says "PASSED," then my phone reboots and it's all the same. It won't go further than the logo screen. The 5.11 one doesn't work)

3. flashing stock recovery and twrp with odin, ( i tried a few versions of those, the worked ones say "PASSED," but I then get recovery is not seandroid enforcing or no message at all, either way I am still not able to get into recovery mode

Please Help!:crying::crying:

Flash the stock 6.0.1 firmware that passes before. When phone is bootlooping hold only POWER AND VOL DOWN. This will power off and boot into safe mode. As soon as it powers on hold HOME POWER AND UP. So you need to hold down and power then as soon as it goes off and boots to galaxy s6 edge powered by android press vol up aswell this should get you to recovery. Wipe data and cache and it should boot up. Keep me updated
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cigar621:
The logo faded and nothing happened, do I keep holding the volume up and home till something happens?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
Sorry...

Hold only vol down + power

Once screen goes off and powered by android comes on

Switch to vol up + power + home and keep holding till recovery boots
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cigar621:
See if the charger cable is connected, holding the vol down+power button wouldn't shut down the phone (or maybe it shuts it down but it just reboots itself up immediately again)

I held the vol down+power button, and switched to holding the vol up+home button+power when I saw the logo came up, and while I was holding them, the logo faded and all I had is a black screen. I kept holding it anyway for 2 minutes, nothing happened. :crying:

please advise

Down and power boots to safe mode, as soon as screen goes off and boots back up recovery combination should work. What region are you in? What firmware did you flash on 6.0.1?

I just used Kies to get the official firmware in it again. I am in the US. My phone though is an international version of the S6 edge SM-G925I.

I tried to flash a Stock Recovery in it with odin again since I just couldn't get in recovery and it failed!! I got it in last time when I was on the G925IDVS3EPIF_G925IOPS3EPGG_G925IDVU3EPIA_HOME.tar.md5 firmware

I tried two g925I from india

One g925i from Australia (Optus)

One g925I from Australia (the latest two on the sammmobile site0

the kies, the smartswitch

all of them succeeded.

but i just can't get into recovery mode. I tried to flash stock recovery in it, even when it succeeded, i still can't get in recovery mode.

I tried flashing twrp too, it succeeded but there's "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" on the screen

when I tried a G925F one, it says "secure check fail <bootloader>" on the phone

now when i get into download mode, there are two lines at the bottom saying:

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
Yeah they will always show up in download mode.

Try to flash one again, but uncheck auto reboot in odin, after flashing try to boot into recovery. How long did you leave it booting for? Sometimes first boot after flash can take up to 30 minutes.

If not keep trying the combo i said...

Power and down until phone reboots.

As soon as screen comes back on powered by android hold vol up home and power.

You have to be quick with it you have to get the recovery buttons as soon as it boots.

Or try boot into download mode, then as soon as you press up to cancel it phone will boot, as soon as you press cancel do recovery combo

I've sent the phone to two local phone repair shops in the past week, both were unable to fix it through flashing, both have determined the phone has hardware problem (one said unknown and the other said it's the motherboard)

man i am so done.

it's so hard to claim the international warranty and shxt too.

By the way flashing those two kernels don't work, they give me the "recovery is not seandroid enforcing"

I will keep you guys updated.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeterPanz:
I have the same issue. My phone will just keep on bootlooping. Flashing Stock Roms, flashing only the recovery.img (tar'ed), doing the update with smartswitch --> Nothing worked.

Your last hint brought a change. Programming UNI Kernel did not change anything but flashing ARTER brought the "Recovery is not seandroid forcing" message.

Nevertheless I'm just able to get into download. There is no way of getting into recovery mode. :( Hints any1?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
Try to flash arter kernel first...

Then flash twrp

See if that works

If not try twrp first then arter kernel
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeterPanz:
I'm afraid it didn't. Programming arter Kernel first and then TWRP brings me the boot loop. Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Splash screen appears, goes off, reappears etc.

When flashing the other way round, the output is the same with the difference that "additionaly on top of the splash screen "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" is shown.

....

Let me explain, that I received this cell phone from a friend. He said, it bricked after an OTA. He tried to rescue it, not sure what he did, but he's familiar with technics, but was not successful. So he handed it over to me. The cell phone reports in download mode:

So I'm stuck on V6.0.1 ROMs and my warranty is blasted, right? No one from Samsung will help me?

Performing updates via SmartSwitch are completing but the phone won't work after the automatic restart, but be in boot loop.

Other ideas?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
Your knox is tripped which means samsung wont do much.

Try to download and flash this UK firmware. Its generally good at fixing most issues.

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/99544/G925FXXS4DPIJ_G925FBTU4DPH1_BTU/

All of them points in the pic look fine... just that it has custom firmware or root already on the device. It doesnt have stock f8rmware on it atm or it would say official.

See how you get on with that firmware i posted.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeterPanz:
I tried the UK ROM. Itflashes fine but the phone stays in boot loop. The download reports that the binary is "Samsung official" now, but system status is still "Custom". My feeling is that this is the main problem.

I also tried with a pit file for BTU and set the repartition checkbox in ODIN, but result was the same.

After having tried tried this procedure with a German ROM yesterday, I flashed with SmartSwitch which brought me into recovery mode. It reported

Installing package

E:Error in chache/recovery/sec_csc.zip (status 0)

Does this give you any valuable information?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
It means it can't mount system.

Which ROM do you have installed now? The BTU?

Can you still get into recovery?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeterPanz:
I've had the BTU ROM installed. There is no chance getting into recovery, whichever ROM is installed. No matter if its BTU, DBT, TWRP or ARTUS.

The only chance to see recovery mode is installing an official ROM and then doing the update via SmartSwitch. There is only one chance.... As soon as I'm out of the recovery menu, I can't get back to it with UP, HOME + Power. The only option is to reflash the ROM and then via SmartSwitch.

All keys are working fine, so it's not a HW issue why I'm not getting into recovery. I'm out of ideas.... Are there more "advanced" options beside flashing a ROM? Any more helpful options in ODIN, I could try, e.g. NAND erase all?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
Do the update via smartswitch, when you get to the recovery menu, only think to do really is factory reset, reset cache partition and wipe dalvik. Flashing the firmware like BTU DBT etc is official ROM. No other options in odin could prevent the bootloop. Only the flash firmware with pit. Which pit did you use before?

Have you tried flashing twrp straight after flashing BTU ROM? Its a rare issue, keep getting stuck in bootloop that cant be solved by flashing stock.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeterPanz:
I tried this PIT which was recommended in the sammobile forum:

SM-G925F OXA multi CSC ( BTU CPW DBT ITV KOR NEE XEF XEO XEU )

ZEROLTE_EUR_OPEN.pit

I was in the recovery menu und wiped the cache partition successfully. I remembered that doing the factory reset resulted in an instant reboot. so I tried to clear the cache twice. But it did the instant reboot then. It's crazy! I didn't see an option to wipe dalvik. Wiping cache and doing the reset were the only option to delete sth. Then I was back in the loop...

So I flashed BTU ROM w/o AutoReset and flashed TWRP 3.0.2 straight after the manual reset. I was very happy, because I could see the TWRP menu but unfortunately the screen was stuck. No possibility to touch any of the buttons. Restart brought me the loop. :(

It was not reproducible. After flashing BTU ROM and TWRP again, I was straight in the loop. Currently it is looping and from loop to loop I can see the TWRP splash.

I'm considering to flash BTU with the PIT File tomorrow and then flashing TWRP. Don't know what may be the result but I have a bad feeling.

More ideas?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeterPanz:
I flashed BTU ROM and straight after that the TWRP ROM. BTU ROM with PIT file and TWRP ROM one time with and one time without PIT.

Neither solution worked and I'm still in the loop. While its looping I can see the TWRP Splash screen from time to time. Means for me that it boots sometimes and sometimes it doesn't.

Is there anything else I could do with ODIN? I have experience with hardware. Is there anything I could do?

From this randomly appearing TWRP splash screen, I could imagine that it's a hardware defect. Either SW is working or it's not. Maybe a bad memory area which was firstly used after the OTA update, after which it rendered useless.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeterPanz:
I tried another PIT file solely for BTU ROM on SAM Mobile and tried that one with BTU ROM and TWRP. Here's the log:

The phone shows the Samsung splash screen and will turn off straight after that. If there are no other ideas, I'll hand it back to my friend and consider this phone as scrap.

The only last thing to try is click on this link to this thread, go to the 1st page the OP, download the g925f bootloader from there and try to flash the bootloader through BL in odin. Give that a try. Flash it by its self after you have flashed the BTU ROM.

Sorry i thought i did already. My bad :good:
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeterPanz:
I tried the bootloader with the BTU ROM and with a repair firmware V6.0.1 I found. Both flashed fine, but the phone keeps in bootloop.

The repair firmware is split into 4 parts and ODIN will refuse to flash it. When flashing SBOOT.bin the phone refuses to accept it, saying that the binary is V:3 and the installed one is V:4

What came to my mind, is to maybe specify a bit more, what bootloop means for me:

After having flashed both solutions above, the phone shows the splash screen. After that a little Android with a blue background appear and it says "Installing System Update". It will procedd within seconds to 24%, then jump to 32%, crash and restart.

It will do that several times, until the installation is bricked. The little Android guy is tilted by 45°, eyes are crossed and a big warn sign appears. Then it's stuck until rebooted manually.

Is that an expected behaviour after having these ROMs flashed?

Or is it maybe a relic from the OTA update, which crashed the phone, as my friend said?

But also TWRP won't boot fine. :(
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
After flashing stock ROM its normal to have the blue screen with the android guy. It normally says installing system update on mine too but usually crashes and fails at around 40%.

Did you put the 4 files from the firmware in the correct places in odin?

Have you tried the emergency firmware restore via samsung smart switch?

Its very weird doing this bootlooping. As flashing stock should fully wipe everything and flash a new recovery.img... so in theory there is no reason it shouldnt boot into recovery.

Try with smart swich see how that goes.

---------- Post added at 02:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------

Try to boot into safe mode then quickly to recovery. You have to be quick at this....

Hold only power + vol down, hold for like 10 seconds until the screen goes off, as soon as it goes off quickly change to the recovery combination vol up home and power. It should force recovery mode. Try it
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeterPanz:
Yes, I placed all the files in a correct order. Doing the update via SmartSwitch results in the bootloop, I do already know.

Getting into recovery mode is just not possible. And when I get there randomly caused by these regular restarts, I'm mostly able to wipe the cache. And hitting factory reset toggles one line of text and then a restart happens.

When I get into the recovery mode (accidently), it says that it it has problems with sec_csc.zip (status 7). Don't know what that means....

I would consider this phone as dead. Must have some sort of issue, which is either related to its hardware or has a strange SW issue located in a memory, we can't access via ODIN or SmartSwitch. That's why I would end it here and contact Samsung or another repair center, whether they have other tools, I don't know. I read about a Z3X box. Don't know whether that could be helpful... But since that's a professional tool for >100€ I'm out of this game...
