[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinamo1975:
Hi,

I have the same issue last week!

Your phone it's just FINE ! :) You only mess up "the original recovery and must be redone properly"!

For a fresh & clean install, you need (I recommend you to use the files from the LINKs provided):

- the latest TRWP Recovery - LINK

- the latest firmware (Nougat) - LINK and "hidden file" - LINK

- or a custom ROM for your S6 version - LINK.

To resolve, do the following:

1. Open Odin and uncheck "Auto Reboot";

2. Enter in Downloading Mode (home + vol DW + power button) on your S6 and connect to PC;

3. Flash in AP Odin the latest TRWP Recovery (don't close the Odin program);

4. Press "Reset" on Odin, disconnect the phone from your PC and enter again in Downloading Mode (home + vol DW + power button) and reconnect to PC;

5. Check "Auto Reboot" on Odin and flash again the TRWP Recovery in AP Odin (the phone will reboot);

6. When the phone reboot, by pressing continuously "home + vol UP + power button", enter in Recovery Mode;

7. In TRWP you must wipe everything (Dalvik, System, Data, Cache etc) including "Format Data" <<< it's mandatory;

8. Restart the phone and enter again in Recovery Mode by pressing continuously "home + vol UP + power button" and wipe again Dalvik, System, Data, Cache etc and "Format Data" - just to be sure :);

9. Download a custom ROM, copy to your phone and install it normally in TRWP.

After you done the first 8 steps and if you want to flash the latest original firmware (Nougat), do the following:

10. Donwload the original firmware and rename it in "xxxxxxx_xxxxxxxx_xxxxxxx_HOME.tar" (i mean, delete ".md5" from the end of the name);

11. Extract "hidden.img" file from original firmware and copy to your PC and rename it in "hidden.img.tar";

12. Enter in Downloading Mode (home + vol DW + power button) and on Odin, uncheck "Auto Reboot";

13. Flash the original firmware in AP Odin;

14. Don't close the Odin program but now check "Auto Reboot" on Odin;

15. Press "Reset" on Odin, disconnect the phone from your PC and enter again in Downloading Mode (home + vol DW + power button) and reconnect to PC (on Odin "Auto Reboot" must be checked);

6. Flash "hidden.img.tar" in AP Odin;

7. The phone reboot automatically and you will have the original firmware.

Still doesn't want to boot into recovery. It's just stuck at boot and the only thing i can actually boot into is the download mode. As for the original firmware, I've tried that but apparently I got hold of the wrong version or something. Currently downloading what I assume is the right one from rapidgator at a whopping 50~KBps, so that'll take another 4 hours. Thanks for trying to help though, I appreciate it.

EDIT: Leaving it on overnight drained the battery. I'm now trying to cheese my way into recovery mode by just holding down volume UP + home + power when it's drained but apparently it's too drained and doesn't start at all. Maybe i can get it to the point where it'll automatically turn off but I still have a % of battery life left?

Read carefully again my post ! All you have to do is to follow my steps accordingly! I gave you the links for all the files you need!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mildj84ns:
Download SmartSwitch or Samsung Kies, put your phone in Download Mode, and start Emergency Software Recovery in SmartSwitch or Kies.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnimaLibera:
Samsung SmartSwitch tells me my device is unsupported. It also doesn't appear in the "List of devices requiring emergency recovery" in either piece of software.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mildj84ns:
Open Kies, go to Tools/Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation

Enter your Model name in following format "SM-G920x"

Then enter your Serial Number (you can find it on the back of your phone)

Confirm everything that pops up.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnimaLibera:
There's probably no way I'm going to get the serial number seeing as i can't just open the back of the phone and i don't know where the box is that it came in.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mildj84ns:
It should be written at the bottom of the back cover, not behind it. (At least that's the case with EU models)

If that's not the case with your phone and you don't have the original box then you can try this:

Hold the power, home, and volume down buttons until the warning screen appears. Then press the home button.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnimaLibera:
That just puts me right back into download mode. No idea what it was supposed to do.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mildj84ns:
It was suppose to give you your S/N. But i guess that doesn't work on your device.

You must find your S/N somehow, i don't think there is other way to restore your phone.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vforvlive:
Can confirm...

I own 2 devices one VDF2 Germany and the other one VDF UK

Bouth are G920F and have the S/N after IMEI behind at the bottom of the glass...

i wonder dont the rest S6 variants have it there too:rolleyes:

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnimaLibera:
Doesn't seem to work, pressing home just puts me into download mode and I believe I remember throwing the box away like a moron. There's nothing on/under the glass on the back either. I guess i'll have to try out the other stock firmware images i'm still downloading.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vforvlive:
i see....

Is your device G920F?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnimaLibera:
It is
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vforvlive:
Anyway it should be there....

If you gonna flash Nougat, just dont flash XEF and go for CYV

CYV got newest Changelist than XEF, that has many bugs!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdelha:
CYV is better than XEF...i tried both
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinamo1975:
Men, mine too! My 920F was in the same situation!

If you follow the steps i wrote, it work! None of this program will repair your phone "SmartSwitch", "Kies" etc.

Believe me, i tried all possibilities ! You must repair your recovery. Otherwise, nothing you can do!

Flash provided TWRP Recovery in AP on ODIN (first, with uncheck Auto Reboot and second with Auto Reboot check) and when your phone reboot, still press on home + vol UP + power button and enter in recovery. After that, wipe everything + FORMAT DATA and will be OK!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnimaLibera:
Okay, I'm pretty sure it's working now. It booted into TWRP, I made it install my custom ROM. Basically, it's working. To detail the steps in between...:

I downloaded stock firmware from a different site. No I'm not going to tell you the site, but it's pretty high in the google search results. Practically unavoidable.

I finally installed that after an ~8-9 hour download from rapidgator (Look, i know some of you out there are trying to make money by uploading content to these sites, but 8 hours is just ridiculous).

It failed at hidden.img.tar.

I installed the hidden.img.tar by first opening the firmware as an archive, then extracting hidden.img, then renaming it to hidden.img.tar as dinamo1975 described.

It eventually booted properly, then somehow it turned into a boot loop.

I went into download mode again and flashed TWRP from https://twrp.me/.

I made it boot into TWRP and installed a custom ROM.

Now the phone boots without problems and is back up and running.

Three things I've learned from this:

- ALWAYS have stock firmware ready. Stock firmware that matches your device. Google is your best friend here.

- Certain magisk modules can get your device stuck depending on your build. Be CAREFUL. If you're not sure if something is going to work, don't attempt to make it work.

- That last part goes for everything with electronics. If you're unsure if something is going to work, just stop right there, please.

EDIT: Is there any way to close this thread?

EDITEDIT: Nope this is bad. Stuck in a boot loop (boots up right to the OS up to where i have to provide my SIM pin, then restarts immediately) and it doesn't recognize my battery. Seen as 0% and TWRP doesn't even show a percentage. Could it be that I've gotten the wrong firmware yet again?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinamo1975:
Men, as i wrote before! I'm providing you the proper original firmware and the files you need to repair your phone (i'm uploading in my Gdrive & prepare the files for you etc)! Just do what i'm wrote! :)

Forget about magisk and other... just install the orginal firmware!

If you want to install a custom ROM, The Griffin Nougat ROM must be the choice.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnimaLibera:
Alright, I'll try installing the firmware you provided, but that's gonna take some more time to download.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnimaLibera:
Another update: It seems to work now? I reinstalled the ROM the exact way i did before, following each step and now i can restart the phone without problems and the battery actually gets charged beyond 0%....what? I'm not messing with it anymore right now, but if anything happens I'll be sure to try out dinamo1975's way.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] stunter4ever:
Just wondering if there is a way to flash the stock v20 camera into a rom or if there is a rom that uses the stock v20 camera. im missing the dual camera and the slow motion capabilities!. thanks
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Tilde88:
What are you talking about....

All ROMs have the stock LG Camera app... Minus the AOSP ROMs, which will not have it, just the stock Google camera.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] stunter4ever:
i guess that answers my question. i had no luck flashing anything other than AOKP. everything else just sat on the boot screen for an hour.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Tilde88:
This means one of two things. You are not flashing supersu on top of the ROM (most ROMs should be flashing it for you-- like mine). Any time you introduce a boot.img, it must be accompanied by a supersu flash. The kernels get patched by the SuperSU updater to be insecure, and disable verity.

Or, you simply did not decrypt data as instructed to do so. Good luck.

Sounds like you never flashed one of my ROMs...
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] stunter4ever:
I tried flashing WETA and followed the instructions. still no go. wiped data and started clean. ill try again.

UPDATE:..... everything worked fine this time. not sure why. Thanks again for the help!

[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] hyelton:
Anyone ever have this happend? I have mine GSM unlocked via the hiddenmenu APK and have it on T-Mobile. Anyway all the sudden today I sat the phone down for about 2 hours, picked it up and it was completely dead, had maybe 60% left when I sit it down. Anyway charged it up. Was on for 5 min without touching it and it was hot to the touch and battery had dropped 10%. I downloaded a CPU app and seems something was constantly using 80-100% of the CPU. I had nothing rouge installed or nothing out of the odernary. This is a secondary device so it does not get heavy usage etc.

I reset the device and everything seems to be fixed, but my question here would there be anything Sprint wise thats attempting to do something? Its been about 2 weeks since I set it up. Was not sure if it was maybe trying to constantly activate and not telling me? or something Sprint ID related? I cannot disable the Sprint caller ID and it does seem to make numbers show up weird when I get calls since I unlocked it like its trying to use Sprint ID lol.

Anyone run into this? That would be the only thing I could think of would be some sprint app/built in app.

Thanks :)
[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] PhantasmRezound:
I have an LS992 provided by directly by an LG service center; factory locked to Sprint but without any bloatware apps. Also set to GSM LTE via hiddenmenu method. I've not noticed any significant drain or odd behavior in the dialer as you describe, so it is a good bet you have a rogue Sprint app(s) assuming hardware is all fine.
[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] hyelton:
Yeah I reset and things are so far back to normal. I just hope this won't be something I'll have to reset every couple of weeks because of it haha.
[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] hyelton:
Update: After 2 resets, This issue is STILL occurring at random times, and usually only after using the phone, I put it down no apps running, but CPU pegged at 100% until it suddenly feels the need to go back to normal. I guess I'll end up selling it, Really liked the phone, but this is highly annoying. Seems this issue would be even more worse if it got used as a main device.

[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] killerb777:
anyone recommend a skin or any way to add grip to the axon7 without using a case? hate cases and find the phone abit slippery. was thinking about the xtremeguard back skin since the protectors tend to be a little sticky front and back. any other recommendations?
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] yamils:
I'm waiting for the dbrand skin to ship. If I can get the phone to be a little less slippery, I'm dropping the case. Will let you know once I tested it.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] HypostaticOnion:
I'm currently using a DBrand Carbon Fiber skin. It's ok. Not super grippy tbh. I didn't find the phone to be super slippery to me anyway, but it's not like the skin adds a ton.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] killerb777:
yeah i heard the matte dbrand has a little more grip to it but I love the grey on this phone so I'm hoping a clear skin will add some grip to it without hiding its color.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] apocalypse_bg:
Just sandpaper it :p
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] yamils:
I just installed the carbon fibre dbrand skin, and I can tell you that it adds grip, a lot.

I'll still use the case for the gym, but for everything else, you can use it naked.

[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] droidnew:
Since the red iPhone came out and people seemed to go gaga over it, I put this red Dbrand skin on my Axon 7. It does add a "little" grip but not enough for me to feel comfortable with it at work. This is the red with black front skin. And a pic with the case on that came with the A7...

This shows that the Axon 7 is much better looking than the iPhone ?
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] killerb777:
yeah, please post pics if possible. how does it stick? the glue strong? does it peel on the corners and edges after awhile with normal use?
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] killerb777:
I've tried the matte dbrand and it does add a "little" grip like you said but not enough for me. plus after using it for awhile it started to unglue on the edges especially on the sides if the phone is curved like the Axon7. I ordered a couple of cheap thin cases from aliexpress so i might have to give a case a try but after hearing about this gt-5000 gun grip tape, i may give that a try first.
[ZTE Axon 7 Accessories] alamoaz1:
These are pics of my bricked s6, but you can see after about 6 months, JUST on the edges, one side peeled, other side had a chip that came off clean. I change it every 6 months or so. Comes off super clean, sticks GREAT IMO. But there is a possibility it may screw with Bluetooth. Not sure but the s6 would cut out every once in a while with my headphones. With 2 different brand sets of headphones, I have had issues with both phones. My head unit in my car has only cut out on me using the axon 7. Next time I change it I planned on testing.

Images in Right seem to have better detail at focus point, whereas Left images have overall detailed.. My guess Left-?Ported OOS Cam and Right -? Official OOS Cam. Only Macro shots can't be used to conclude right?

Usual Rant: Its really great that Oneplus has made such beast hardware, but due to whatever reason they not releasing those Camera blobs they committed for, makes custom ROM camera in same hardware inferior!! Idk whether present Oneplus devs are really those guys worked with CM time with OP1..
