Hey!
I first got my galaxy s6, model; SM-G920I around start of May 2015 and I rooted via CF autoroot a few days after.
Haven't done much since, however, today I decided I wanted to update my software to lollipop 5.1 and to do that I first had to unroot via SuperSU and then update via Smart Switch.
After all the preparations were completed in Smart Switch, my device failed during the process, sending me to the cyan screen saying, "An error has occured while updating the device software..." .
This incident rendered my device unrecognizable by Smart Switch and since then I have not been able to flash the stock SM-G920I ROM via odin, as it always FAILS.
tl;dr
-rooted phone
-unrooted phone for software update
-device failed during smartswitch process
-cannot flash stock via odin
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
[EDIT]: I cannot get into recovery mode
Can you get to download mode?

What is the hidden file called and how do I get to the location?

Thank you for your replies but I'm am still unsure what you are talking about. I did look through your posts and found one where you linked this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...lkit-skipsoft-android-toolkit-galaxy-t3101195
I downloaded it and I still don't know how to delete the file that you suggested.

I presume you were talking about the "CF-Auto-Root-zeroflte-zerofltedv-smg920i" file.
There was only a Cache.img and Recovery.img but no hidden.img

I was facing a very similar issue and this tip has saved me, thank you so much Alex-V
What is the hidden.img file used for and why does deleting it fix our issues?
Just curious,
Thank you again!
on a note 5 i can flash it that way too ?
if i have the same problem on a note 5 N920T (i know we are talking about S6 edge ) but doing that on any android with soft brick will work?

Tried to root and install TWRP on my i605 and all i get is this message:
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I rooted using Framaroot app.
Then installed GooManager and let it install TWRP recovery.
I did NOT unlock the bootloader, and this could be the problem.
I also tried adams' root/recovery steps and Odin says "Failed" each time. It fails in Odin when it's trying to restore "Recovery"
Can someone please tell me how to save my $700 phone???

I did NOT unlock the bootloader before rooting/installing twrp or at any time.
I'll try using the "alternate" download file and see how that goes...still 18 minutes to download.

Ya it says that because it doesn't overwrite the boot loader, but the ll4 update blocks you from writing any boot loader. So you use that file and it restores everything except sboot.
You'll be good. This will fix your phone

Hi,
I'm from the UK and have an S6 Edge Live demo unit. I was reading somewhere that you can flash the stock software onto it and get it working. In order to do this, I started off by using ODIN to root the phone. This worked fine. Upon the restart, it got bricked. I tried to use the custom firmware, SM-G925F, to try to restore the device, but I keep on getting the following error:
<ID:0/006> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/006> FAIL!
I tried both the VIR and XEU versions, but no luck. Even if I can't flash the stock firmware onto this, is there anyway I can restore the demo unit functionality by re-flashing the demo firmware?
Thanks in advance!
was reading that smart manager for PC have a option to emergency restore firmware...

Thanks for the response. I did exactly that which did seem to get me going and booting into the LDU ROM. This one seems to have the kit, but no modem installed. And it seems to have responded to the T-mobile CF-Root, but i get the same error when I try installing the T-mobile Stock ROM.
leaves the cell turned on until it goes out. After it loads, and off you go into recovery, wipe / reset after power done the cell goes out. Go download and install the FW with odin 3.10.6. Personally tried with SM-G925F :good:

Thanks for the reply, but that still does not work with the SM-G925X (Live demo unit) with the T-Mobile ROM. The build that shows up in recovery is LRX22G.G925TUVU1AOC3. From the T after 925 it tells me it is a T-Mobile variant.
My problem is the same one, I´ve bricked the 925X during the rooting with ODIN Can anybody help? Greetz from Germany
What did you do to unbrick it?
Have you managed to flash a stock fw?

I have flashed a G925F Stock ROM on my S6 Edge LDU - it works!
You only have to remove cm.bin and sboot.bin from the ROM tar archive before you flash it with Odin.

How did you manage to remove the 2 files from the tar archive and keep the rest within it, as all i can do is extract each file from the archive and convert is to tar.md5 separately.
Please share, how you deleted the files from the tar archive what program did you use. As you have flashed the stock rom does it still say live demo unit when booting up.Thanks
If you are using OS X you can just use "tar" on the command line. For Windows the "Total Commander" might be a good and easy choice.
You only have to extract the rom archive and then repack it without the 2 files mentioned. And you don't have to worry about the md5 stuff. It works fine without the validation checksums - just repack it with a .tar ending.
The boot loader will stay the same, so you still have the Live Demo boot screen.

After flashed go on to the dialing pad dial and dial *#0*# this is the command for testing the phone mine comes up as (not register on network) No commands are now working on the dial pad, what's yours coming up as, can you get any command to function after flashing?
Possibly is because the modem file has been flashed.
Have you already opened your LDU? Have you found a modem chip?
No I have not opened it up but have opened up other devices and they have missing antennas and ic chips so there is no use in opening it.

Ok just got replacement S6 edge had D0l1 firmware on it out the box...flashed unikernel in ODIN on it for root....booted just fine and had root...then flashed latest TWRP through ODIN tried to reboot into recovery Now phone won't boot. if I force a restart it does Sammy logo then a white flash real quick to black screen followed by a vibrate then just stays black. Only thing I can do is get it in DL mode.
Now I have tried to DL the D0l1 Firmware from 2 different sources on here at XDA so I can ODIN back to stock but can't get Odin to recongize the zip.....so I extracted the files but says something is corrupt?. I am not a noobie when it comes to rooting and flashing and this is the deepest of trouble I have ever been in as far as Bricking a device. I have no clue what to do now???? Any help please!
Honestly, all I need is the D0l1 firmware which I cannot somehow get without it being a corrupt file
I just don't get it.....Odin will not recongize the D0l1 firmware for me to flash? I just Odin'd back my other S6 edge with broken screen to send back for insurance claim no problem with c09 firmware or the # before this D0l1. 3 different download sources same thing Odin will not see the zip file after clicking on AP.
I can' boot into recovery..does anybody have the stock recovery for tmobile that I can flash in ODIN??

I'm staring to get nervous....this DL from Sammy is gonna be a long time.
Also, I just noticed they have ODIN 3.10.7 out.....gonna DL that also as I have 3.10.6 still. see if that helps at all.
Yes...the dl will take a minute. If possible just leave your pc alone while it downloads.
If Winrar says its corrupted then it is. No sense in trying to flash it

How can the file be corrupted straight from Sammy???

Bro....I think I might be ****ed honestly, I hope not but it seems like if you get stuck in a BL with this new loader....it will not let you flash a stock image. My phone says in red at top when I force a restart (Recovery is not seadroid) I tried extracting just the recovery out of the D0l1 firmware and packed it up as a TAR and flashed but it just hangs and never completes the process. I have searched google to the end of the earth about trying to recover after this new firmware update but can't anything or anybody successful....just people stuck like me. Wish I would have just let it go and rolled stock cause I was gonna jump to the nexus probley.....but you and some others showed you were rooted and good....it all went downhill after odin'd TWRP
Your fine....my upload will take awhile. Its the tar file. So all you will have to do is flash in Odin
Your stuck because you didn't unlock the bootloader. If you get into download mode then your going to be ok. So just kick back for a few hours until my upload us done

Do you have the right files for your model G930A or G935A. Normally that's the issue. Also make sure your using the official Odin when flashing factory firmware.
yes, i have the right files for my G930A, It must be because I'm using OdinPrinceComsy version

Using Odin, it will wipe automatically. Just install all 4 files and it'll wipe you completely.
Dumb question here, We can flash each file independently. EX: If i wanted to flash just the ap file to replace the eng boot i could do that...

I just downloaded the file and used it to flash a G930A successully. You should probably just re-download the file.
Thanks for the feedback but I got it to work. Idk but it wasn't extracting on my Mac so I tried on Windows and it worked. Am actually running it now on my phone and everything so far working as it should.
you mention the S7Active there,
does that mean you have the Nougat Odin files for that too ?
and where did you get these images from ? did you get them from their servers ? (somewhere like ? h t t p s://xdmd.sl.attcompute.com/agents/48838/1488/ ??)
The previous uploaded odin link for BRA1 went down, and you need to be on BRA1 to use the new oreo system updates. So I ended up buying them myself. Enjoy.

I did it this morning, I used ODIN to go back to BRA1 AT&T version and then put the newest update on an empty SD card and applied update for SD using the recovery menu.
Hi, quick question. Sorry if this has been asked before. I already searched the entire forum for an answer.
So if I am on security patch March 1, 2017 (BQC2) version, can I just go ahead and flash this or do I need to be on an specific version in order to install this? I just don't want to brick. Thanks in advance.

Can i use flash my cell phone with this update??? Please help me.
You can Odin to BRA1, it'll be much faster than OTA all the way to BRA1 (which is alot of updates for where you currently are.
Im having issues flashing this file because it doesn't come up with the .md5 format. And Odin stays stuck on "file analysis" when i take off the .rar extension. Any one have any other firmwares i really dont want to flash all the way back and go through several updates just to get it up to date. Thanks.
Don't just take remove the. Rar, actually unzip them with 7zip,was the only way I could make them work myself

you do realize you need to let odin run for more than 10 minutes sometimes. its literally processing 500mb -4gb of data. stop interrupting odin because its not finishing on your time. its called patience.
all you should be doing is extracting the md5's from the zip using winrar or something similar. when in odin you need to be clicking on the bl ap cp and csc and putting the extracted files in their places and hitting start and literally letting it run until it is finished without clicking anything. it is not STUCK on file processing... it IS processing the files
