Hi to all!!

My name is lucas, I rooted my S9+ smg9650 with [MENTION=4168602]klabit87[/MENTION] posts and info (TWRP installed). Everything perfect, root working. Today i Wanted to upgrade my ROM from android 8.0 to 10. had problems with data partition but got them repaird with TWRP, but muy problem was that ODIN did not flash the new ROM, it stayed frozen "SetupConnection.." or "initialization.. " and then FAIL, USB debugging and OEM unlock were set. Finally I got tierd and decided that i wanted to set everything to stock, so i made a full buckup, and i dont know why, i flashed a recovery image from a andoid 10 rom, using TWRP app, when rebooted, stays at bootloop, i can use download mode, but cant flash TWRP back with odin, nor any other firmwere. Cant turn phone off, Cant get to recovery mode.

Left cornet message on bootloop., (Same massage on download screen)

Are you experienced with samsung phones and whiling to talk on discord or TeamViewer to help me fix my grandma's phone? I feel like I have tried everything, but I only have experience with OnePlus phones... I could really use your help :)

Here is my problem in details:

I have a Samsung s6 which can not boot to anything but ODIN mode. I have tried the stock firmware from samfirm with no luck. It succeeded in odin but the phone still goes into bootlooping to the powered by android screen. I cannot install twrp, because the bootloader is locked. It’s always been on the stock firmware, so I dont know how it happened (my grandma told me that it just shut down randomly). I can get the binary status to change from Samsung Official to Custom, so something is working inside the phone… Is there any way to unlock the bootloader, so I can install twrp. Any help will be appreciated.

Can you again play with Custom Recovery and give feedback?

Wow been a while since i flashed an s6 but if it goes into download mode you're in good shape. You need to use the stock firmware that matches the build she was at when it looped. You could be using the wrong stock firmware level. Tried to post a link but i cant. So Google "samsung s6 stock firmware download" and look for the android soul link. Should be top 3.

Not sure, what exactly you mean...

IMHO none of recovery is working on your device... not from Stock Firmware nor from Combination Firmware...

From Combination Firmware in Log we can see Bootloader is written to device...

So sboot.bin is replaced by sboot.bin from Combination Firmware...

So IMHO "nothing" is locked...

Reactivation Lock is not set...

I only don't know yet... if SM-G920F with dead IMEI Serial Number and so on are booting to Android or only Combination Firmware or...

Your device seems not really doing Kernel stuff...

But Flashing is working...

So Bootloader activities are superb. :good: :cool:

Now we try to find 1 Kernel to boot up something....

Next attempt will be to flash foreign EFS file... to look if dead more dead or less dead...

But at the moment and it looks like the last few months your device is very close to full dead...

I have no Crystal Ball. So I don't know if you allready flashed efs.img file(s) ?

:confused:

I mean something like this:

[B]EFS[/B]_SM-G920F_G920FXXS3DPD5__R58G422B2EY_6-5-2016_17-21-0.tar

Human readable stuff only inside 2 files...

Can you please use same Firmware file from NEE...

But different PIT fileS:

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/general/g920f-pit-file-banded-firmwares-t3118459

A

Flash with Odin

B

Check if Recovery starts...

C

Write as Log/Protocol which PIT you used

D

Repeat with A but different PIT

You can do this for 3 PIT files...

Next attempt is to set:

IMHO concentrate on Recovery... as IMHO normal Boot at the moment complete dead after we killed IMEI and so on...

I have no idea what that is... I can't be the only one with this problem, but I still haven't found a fix for it
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SubwayChamp:
If you already couldn't boot it's probably that some partition is missed/damaged,

try the next:

- First flash an ENG Boot, check if you can boot after.

- Then flash an ENG SBoot and check again if you can boot.

Those files are provided here: https://shell.boxwares.com/default.aspx?DeviceModel=SM-G920F&Type=All#fh5co-table

- Then search for the stock recovery for your model (I have a different one, the -i-) and flash it through Odin, try to boot to stock recovery and do all the wipes as you can, then try to boot.

- Never try to flash a lower bootloader version so this can active some security measures that won't allow you to boot.

- After to follow all these steps you can try with flashing from the ENG firmware all the files except bootloader files and if didn work the newer ENG bootloader version that you can find flashing it separately.

- Don't try to flash now TWRP, your first goal have to be recover device.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jakob1502:
First of all thanks for reaching out! I love this community

This didn't seem to change any thing. The phone just got stuck on the "powered by android screen"

After I flashed the SBoot a green text showed up similarly to the text from the combination firmware. But I got no access to the recovery

Found and flashed the stock recovery and it passed in ODIN, but I still can't boot to it (Nothing happens when I press "vol up+home+power")

Unfortunately it didn't work. I still just got the boot screen and I can still only acces ODIN... :(
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SubwayChamp:
Try to flash TWRP for your device unticking Auto-Reboot in Odin and you have to reboot inmediately before to try to boot to anywhere else.

You can also try different ODIN versions

And IMEI number is back of your phone

you can check it on internet which Firmware you need

you can try T Flash and

Nope same result. Odin fail on a few of them with this red text on the phone: "SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 6. BINARY: 5"
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johannesdavidsen:
It is suppose to do that because ur phone has newer software but always check those little boxes to make it work like T-flash/Erase all/and other stuff but do not use Pit file unless you know what is it

Or try like only T flash check [√]

Try everything did you try oldest firmware?

If those don't work try to extract files inside tar file and

Use tar tool to create tar and try only like boot.img.tar

Your phone need to go down to lower Binary that is lower number of bootloader.

Right now it is on newest bootloader you have to make it go to older bootloader like I did when my phone need to goto older firmware or say stock firmware

Oldest and that is 5.0.2 android on S6

I have your problem once so don't quit on it

You will make it work it is possible

I was like it not possible anymore lol

So good luck.....

Edit: search downgrading Android on Google it is best option for you now.

That what I did
