S6 Edge SM-G925F Potential Brick - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I know there are alot of similar threads but I would just like to get the forums opinion on what my options are with my bricked SM-G925F S6 Edge mobile?
Just to outline the chain of events, the phone is all stock, no custom kernel or custom ROM. and was never rooted. After applying the pushed Samsung Android update the phone crashed I manually rebooted via recovery mode and had to do a full system wipe as it continued to crash on boot. After reaching a stable boot the update was requesting to be downloaded once again which I accepted. All looked well and seemed to apply the update but the boot cycle crashed and has been un responsive ever since.
Tried to recover the device as below but no joy:
1.Long press power
2.Attempted power+volume down
3.No Recovery mode power+volume up+home
4.No Download mode power+volume down+home
5.All buttons together power+volume up/down+home
6.Plugging oem power charger no response
I would appreciate any advice, is a jtag the next route ?
Thanks in advance

1. What exactly is the phone doing now?
2. You deffinately cant boot into download mode? Try holding buttons for about 20 seconds and keep repeating?
3. Is the device detected when plugged into pc/smart switch?
4. Did you ever enable dev options and usb debugging?

Current status unresponsive.
My hope was download mode but not happening.
No detection via smart switch.
Dev options would have been enabled yes.
Any merit in opening up to physically disconnect reconnect battery?

The first thing would be to flash stock.. but as you can't get into download mode its a bit tricky.
Have you tried to initialize phone with serial and imei with smart switch? This should detect phone and run emergency software fix?
I wouldnt attempt to remove my battery as you have to heat up the back to melt the glue to remove the glass.
Sometimes when the phone is in the state it is in its hard to get to download mode but it eventually does.
Try to get it powered off, keep holding power and vol down or just power for 20-40 seconds. It will eventually go off then try download mode.

If the phone still can be powered on but it's stuck somewhere during boot, can force reset by pressing power+vol down for 30s or more.

Not getting anywhere with the powering off/download mode, sounds defeatist, but looks like its done.
Does it mean anything that the phone doesn't recognise the power charger is connected either?

If it wont power on or recognise power charger that sounds like actually bricked phone or hardware problem. Safest way would be to just take it to service centre

Ok that's fair enough then. Will see if they can revive it.
What percentage chance of survival would you give it. 50/50 ?

Sorry for the delay in updating the outcome on this. Life got in the way. So basically the bootloader was bricked and needed rebuilding. JTAG was needed so was pretty lucky.

[Q] how to unbrick Galaxy Europa GT-i5500?

Hello
I have the next issue
I have a Samsung Galaxy Europa GT-I5500
And it bricked when I closed odin 4.36 after, when the phone was in downloading mode due that there was no completion. I wanted to install a newer version of the clockwork (mod) recovery.
I installed an old version but was unable to install the CyanogenMod (hte one from psyke83) that I wanted. And after I wanted to try a newer version of the clockwork (mod).
And now the phone is with the PC---to Phone icon brick mode.
I tried the volume down + main button + power off and isn't working
Also i tried to run the one click unbrick and isn't able to connect to the phone. Seems that the phone doesn't reach the computer
I tried an usb list (lsusb) in the ubuntu and does appear if i connect it.
I tried both in windows 7 and ubuntu
Do you think is a softbrick? Any clues? recomendations or questions for more details
did you find any solution..
i have no warranty since it as directly imported..i have the same problem ..
i was trying to backup my rom when it bricked.. (using rom manager) .... i tried volume down + home + power button (disconnect button) but nothings showed up.

I had a problem with the buttons on the phone the volume down wasn't working.
What do you mean by home button the one with the home icon or the main one with the metal borders because is that button the one that you need to use.
I also tried the resitor of 301kohms between the pins 4 and 5 didn't work.
Now i have the 2.3.7 working stable at the moment
try that combination of buttons if not tell me
I am pretty sure there is nothing you can do about it, if it is completely bricked.
And the phone won't turn on, in any case what so ever?

Depends if it is hard bricked or soft bricked. If the screens turns on and appears the PC---/!\ --- phone. The he can try to use the three key combination or the usb homemade jig. Otherwise he can try to find someone with the JTAG
search in google JTAG galaxy for more info.
sounds like a hard brick. People claim that taking the battery and sim out of the phone for 30 mins (min) and then putting back in and booting to download mode sometimes works
You could try that
MY BROTHER IS IN THE WAY YOU DOWNLOAD but equally can not install any OTHER ONE IS A STRONG BRICK
On galaxy s this also happens from time to time, even i had it once. Try if Odin possibly connects anyway and flash again, if not, remove your battery leave it out for 60 seconds and then try if you can get to download mode again. You definitely have not hardbricked your device...

Did you already try: vol up, menu, power on (by this order, holding them all together in the end) ???
(It might be that for your device you should press and hold: vol down, home button, power)
Did you try taking out the battery (for 10 - 15 secs) and trying the above combination again???
Also you might find this page of interest for your case: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1734997. Credits to @neerajganga
Please take a look at your PM messages.
A last comment; in my experience, using the latest version of Odin and firmware from the links I sent you, never required extra files (like pit or any other type).
Best of luck! :good: Share how it goes!

[Q] Soft bricked my phone trying to flash CM7, please help.

First post here
Tried to flash CM7 on my s2 and after selecting reboot in the cwm menu, the phone won't go past the samsung galaxy s2 logo. The phone won't go into download or recovery mode using button combo press. I've also tried the one-click unbrick tool, which simply fails.
Not sure what do here.
Download mode should work :/
Taking the battery out -> Put back in -> Plug USB Cable in while holding Volume Down

Thanks man. Just tried that
It seems that odin will not detect my phone. I'm reinstalling the samsung usb drivers to see if that helps.
I am happy that I am at least able to get the phone into odin download mode. So not all hope is lost I would think.
Anyone have any other suggestions? I'm downloading the android SDK to get to try ABD right now to see if I can connect that way.
Sometimes Odin is picky, and wants to be opened first. Then enter download mode.

Not a problem! Almost impossible to hard brick this phone. And even if you somehow manage to do that, there are ways to get it out (Depending on what you did). So rest assured, and also get use to battery pulls
I had a dream, that someday we will collect all of our bricked phones and build a house...

And I'm back to stock Now it's off to try to CM7 on there once more. Lesson here is that you need to double flash cm7 before rebooting.
Will be there to help you build that house...

Should've been able to get into CWM to do a second flash even if you accidentally rebooted.
Sometimes CWM from a boot-hung device can be tricky, the following should work:
Hold VolUp + VolDn + Power until the device restarts (will be around 12-15 seconds for the long-hold-power reset)
Once the Samsung screen reappears, let go of Power, keep holding VolUp + VolDn until CWM appears

Flashed 4.0.3 phone bricker, rebooted and cant get past boot screen.

Basically what the title says, flashed phone bricker and everything went great. Rebooted my phone to go into CWM because it still had some issues and I just wanted to go back to 2.3.6 for now. The phone froze and now I cant get into CWM or even download mode. What can I do???
...
And so it begins...
If you cant get into recovery using the key combo, use a jig.
More details, when I plug in the phone in an off state, a battery shows up on screen but the ring is not spinning.
Did you read the name of my Rom?
Its meant to brick your phone.
So what steps did you take to flash...
adb can work too
Sometimes you can do an 'adb reboot bootloader' to get the phone to boot normally too.
Just wiped/factory reset and installed it with Clockwork to install. This started happening after a reboot.

Hey Red5, I just flashed the new I777 leak and odin flashed red/failed while it was at the SBL.bin part.
What does that mean? My phone doesn't work now.
You see I have 4 posts, so I'm obviously new at it. You act like you never flashed something wrong when you started or anything.

The ROM you flashed didn't have bootloaders, so I highly doubt you're bricked. Are you sure you can't get into download mode? How are you doing it?

vol up + down....
read the stickies for cripes sake
Yea, I don't see how you could have bricked it by that...
1st. Have you tried going into CWM with...volume up/down and power?
2nd. To get into download mode have your phone powered off and hold both volume keys, while your holding them down plug in usb...should go into download.
Still just getting the frozen battery charging screen
EDIT: Son of a *****, I was in a USB 3.0 port that didn't provide enough power. Plugged it into a USB 2.0 and it booted right into download mode. Sorry guys, you're all aawesome
Any suggestions where to go from here? Just flash a stock rom with ODIN? Could anybody link to one real quick?

Need HELP! phone wont turn on

Hello, so i have a international S3 and have flashed ROMS since I got it. I am running Omega JB V28 with Syiah Kernel 1.7rc. All is fine for over a week. Just right now my phone froze and did not want to wake up, So I held down volume up, menu button, and power button to restart my phone. I accidentally let go too early before I saw the Galaxy s3 logo and now, I cannot start my phone??? I cant even go into recovery mode.... Any suggestions on how to get this to work??? thanks!
Try this:
Take battery out for 5 minutes and place it back in. Then do the required combination to get into recovery. If not try download mode...
If that fails... put the phone on charge and hopefully the battery will show up showing its charging. If not I can give no more advice.
Hope this helped.

Tried all of the above, took battery out, recovery didnt work. Battery out agin and download mode didnt work. Pluged phone in charge and not battery images. Tried recovery and download mode while phone plugged in charger and still nothing happens. It is weird cus I didnt prick my phone or anything, it was fine for a week. Just tried to restart it and let go to early and no this happens :/
As warranty is void you are best to source a USB recovery jig to access download mode before anything else .

You certainly pricked your S3 by at most flashing a non compatible rom for ur S3 (international) or u just messed up with something during installation,head to samsung customer care.

my phone has been rooted and flashed Omega ROM since may. The phone was working fine for 2 weeks after flashing the new Omega JB Rom v28 and it just shuts off and not power up now. I heard of people installing wrong ROMS or wrong versions of it then bricking their phons, but my phone was flashed the correct ROMS and was in a working state for 2 weeks since my last flashed ROM, never heard of a phone bricking out of now where after u've just used it... I am stopped and dont know how it happened :/ i ordered a jig and thought that might be my only way out. Anyone know if you can restart ur phone from download mode?

I may be ,isunderstanding what you are asking here but are you asking how to get your device in to download mode by using a button combo like getting in to recovery mode if so:
ODIN/Download Mode
Make sure your device is completely off
Key Combos: Volume Down + Home
While holding both of them simultaneously press the Power button until the green robot is visible on the screen indicating that handset is in Download mode.
Then press Volume Up to accept the disclaimer
Recovery Mode
Make sure your device is completely off
Key Combos: Volume Up+ Home
While holding both of them simultaneously press the Power button

A JIG is a usb end that plugs into your phone and forces it into Download Mode, all you would need to do it plug it in and it 'should' go into Download Mode.
Then hopefully you know what to do from there

USB jigs are great but most people only order one when they get a problem. I have not had a problem yet but I think its time to order a USB jig just incase

I actually am familiar on how to go to download moe and recovery mode. The weird thing is that my phone is unresponsive. It doesnt go to download mode or recovery mode at all. With no signs of life. And this happened yesterday morning after i used my phone for like 5 minutes when it was fine. I didnt brick my phone cus I wasnt flashing anything when this happened I just tried to reboot my phone and once the screen turned off it never came back one... kinda wierd and un heard of. But I did order a jig so hopefully it can be forced into download mode and take it from there....

Im running into the same problem.
I can get to the download screen but unfortunately do not know what to do from there (tried Odin and heimdal but still wont boot)
Just as another note I was able to get to my DL screen by removing battery > installing battery > holding both volume buttons then plugging in usb.
Just in case u cant get to it.
If anyone knowledgable can pm me i would appreciate it (phone is not for this forum) because i do not know what to do after i get the dl screen up apparently.
THANKS!
im having the same problem did the jigg work

Only thing I can think of is a crap battery that needs replacing.. You could also go to a metro store and ask em to restore it to stock. Almost all of em have the Samsung factory device. If u can get it into download mode I have a thread where I put instructions on how to recover from brick. (After 6 days of trial and error).

has anybody tried the unbricking usb thing
The jig or the Samsung device?
I havnt used the jig but tons of people have with success. You can make one or buy one off eBay for like $10.
The device I have used before on someone else's phone, AND you can use it to unlock your phone.

Won't power up. detected in windows

Hi guys,
I'm have a GT-P7510 that won't power up. usually when the battery died i just had to press power button for 10 -15 sec and it boot up. But now, nothing. except when plug in a computer
the tab was shown as apx device in device manager.
i installed the apx driver and it is now shown as NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile devices
I search for a fix but i didn't find any yet.
You guys have any fix for me?
thank you

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
I'm a noob with these... i didn't rooted it and i did not mod anything.
I will need your help to get the info you want.
i didn't know how to get to download mode so i search a bit. from what i saw i have to hold volume- (wich is left i think) and power button at the same time?
I get nothing on screen.
Just windows sound that recognize a new hardware plug in usb port.
PS: buy the way if you have any suggestion about any update or mod i should do, let me know.
Thank you!

If you're not rooted you might want to take it in to be looked at.. If you don't want to do that..We can Odin a one-click onto it and get you back up.. From there you could root or put a custom ROM of you're liking on it.. But first if I was you I would drain the power all the way off it..( tape the power button down or use rubber bands ) for a few days.. Then plug it in..if the charging animation comes up then..let it charge..when it gets above 60 or so percent..you can try toturn it on.. If that doesn't work and you don't want to go the Odin route hit me back and we can try a factory reset.. I'll walk you through it.. Let me now you're decision...

Did you have usb plugged in when you tried to enter download mode?
If so, try without usb.

OK..I'm back home... .. So you have the device unplugged.. Then hold down the power button and volume down button( closest to power button ) at the same time...( hold for a min ).. If it starts showing the Samsung animation keep holding until a screen comes up with a box like object on the left and an android on the right..I think its an android on the right..Might be something else,but there will be just two things ( choices on the screen )...If you get this far.. I'll walk you through a factory reset..Or we might just wipe cache first and see if it boots.. Then a factory reset..

Put it on the wall charger and see if the charging animation comes up....if it does...let it charge.. I think we can get it into recovery or download mode if not recovery....if we get to recovery... You will probably have to do a factory reset,but I want you to tell me what options you have in recovery.. been a while since I seen stock recovery..can't remember ..We'll proceed from there..if the charging animation doesn't come up..let it charge anyway... I need to see where it stands so I can help you proceed correctly.......Just looked at stock recovery..we will have to do a factory reset...
@Gil81
If you need any missing files I can set up a dropbox (which I was thinking of doing anyway)...I have boot images, recovery images, system dumps from early releases, nvflash, boatloader and all the rest. Think the battery drain looks the only option for him at moment.

Ok so i get nothing on screen when i tried to power it up or boot in download mode. after a 1:30 charge time.
i let it charge for 5 hours and it didn't change anything.
I opened the tab and unpluged the battery press the power button for a few seconds and plug it back. Didn't change anything.
Is there something else i should try?
Thank you

Since you state that it powers up into apx mode and can't seem to get it to do anything else. I'm afraid you're in a situation I encountered over a year ago. I was unable to find anything to help while only in apx mode. I ended up sending it in for repair. The battery drain method has work for some and I used to point people to the post. It seems that most people having issues similar to yours were not getting any results from it recently.
Hopefully someone does have something that will help you get back out of apx mode.
I wish you the best of luck.

What do you mean ( opened the tab )...I got ya..had to re-read the thread..Sorry..but I'm helping 4 people in two different threads... .. I think the power drain might be you're only solution at this point...if you have already tried that by pulling the battery..then youre going to have to take it in I think...Sorry I couldn't be more helpful...let me now what ya think...
