Hello all,
Hope all is well with everyone.
My phone decided to freeze on me and gave it a force reboot since then it's stuck on the boot logo. I can't turn it off unless the battery is drained and I can't turn it on (via power button), unless booting in Download Mode.
Now, download mode is the mode my phone can boot in and I know that I have to re-flash the stock-rom on my phone in order for it to work.
I gave that a try but a message on my phone pops up after having initiated the flash in Odin saying: ''SW REV, CHECK FAIL, DEVICE 3, BINARY 2'' and if I try a different PDA it reads: SECURITY CHECK: BOOTLOADER
Since this plan didn't work, I tried flashing a TWRP recovery on my phone. But after having tried that a message on my phone pops up proudly saying: ''Blocked by FRP Lock'' - which I found out I can only disable once I have full access to the settings on my phone - which requires a successful boot.
It's quite frustrating because I never had a problem with my phone and this issue occurred right after I updated my phone with the latest security update that Samsung pushed to my device.
Can somebody help me please?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you. However I already tried that one. After multiple attempts, the phone remains stuck on the ''Galaxy S6 Edge+'' screen and won't continue.
I already had the feeling that this may be a hardware malfunction.
I bricked my phone and tried recovering it via Smart Switch - as a last resort - SW successfully installed the stock firmware on my phone but whilst rebooting, it remains stuck on the ''Galaxy S6 Edge+'' screen.
I think my phone is officially dead and that after the new update? Crazy if you think about it.

It isn't bricked otherwise it wouldn't even get to the Samsung logo mate.
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/116925/G928FXXS3BPL6_G928FOXA3BPJ3_BTU/
Before you give up try this BTU firmware. It is generally good at fixing this.
Keep me updated

I was able to see the logo before I bricked it.
Whilst the phone was bricked, the logo was not visible but a turquoise screen with an exclamation logo informing me the instructions to recover the phone via Smart Switch.
I will give the BTU firmware a try. Thank you.

The turquoise screen and exclamation mark isn't brick either so don't worry about that.

Still won't work - It remains stuck on the Galaxy s6 edge + logo after flashing.
Download mode is the only feature that I'm able to access - Recovery mode or booting up the OS? Not a chance.
Rooting and/ or flashing new recovery gets blocked by FRP Lock and Bootloader.
I have seriously no idea what to do now.

You have G928F = that means your bootloader is unlocked by default.
Search on here there are ways to remove the frp lock easily.
Have you tried any other firmware?

I know that, I've noted that down in my first post on this thread. The thing is however is that I DON'T have access to my OS - which ultimately makes me unable to disable FRP lock.
By trying another firmware I get the Sw rev, check fail, device 3, binary 2
- Trying the Europe firmware - whether it is BTU (UK) or PHN (Netherlands) - the flashing WORKS but it won't boot up past the Logo screen - it remains stuck.
The only feature if have access to and works perfectly is the download mode.

Sw rev, check fail, device 3, binary 2. This isnt really an error message and shouldnt affect anything. When you flash the BTU or PHN firmware and it gets stuck on logo screen... how long are you leaving it like that? I ask because the first boot can take a while.
You can always try the DDE firmware from sam mobile. You may also neet a pit file with it too.

The longest is +30 minutes - it remained stuck untill the battery was drained.
I will try the DDE firmware but do you think that will work? I was able to manually flash my device via Samsung Smart Switch and that resulted in the same issue.

Is it stuck on the "powered by android screen" or the next screen the "samsung" logo?
Thats strange because if all else fails smart switch would normally fix it.
I have been talking to 2 people over the past week who have the same issue but on just s6 edge not the plus.

It's stuck on the ''Powered by Android'' logo.
This same issue reminded me of my Galaxy s2 back in the day - same with my current Edge+ - it stuttered, froze, rebooted itself a couple of times and it completely died. Couldn't do anything anymore.
These same symptoms happened with my Edge+ recently, but I can access download mode and it restarts but remains stuck on the logo screen.

I have the G928F and I also had the "custom binary blocked by frp lock" in red, which didn't allow me to boot. To fix this, I had flashed the newest stock Rom I could, and this had fixed my issue. But just yesterday I decided to unroot via the SU app, and it had asked me to restore stock boot image and recovery image. I did this but it had left me in a boot loop. I could enter recovery mode and download mode too. So I tried a factory reset. No help. Now instead of looping it would take me straight to recovery. Like every person at this point would've done, I tried to flash stock Rom, but I keep getting the "sw rev check fail" error. So I 're rooted the phone via odin and voila! I was back up and running and my phone works perfectly fine. You could try this, I know I'm a year late but oh well. Hope this helps!

Hi,
Just wondered how you manage to 're root the phone if FRP lock is on?
When I've tried, the FRP has blocked the custom rom. I've tried downgrading and current stock versions of android but not had any luck. I'm able to flash everything except the BL, no matter what version.
I've been trying all kinds of ideas on here for days now so any suggestions would be welcome.

Ahh if you're flashing current that's why. You need to flash the newest version of Android there is. The latest for the G928F was in February. Flash that and see if you have any errors.

I have a G935F but the process is much the same I guess. I have tried the latest stock rom but still can't get the bootloader on there. Once the bootloader is on there I think I'll be home free but at this point I've tried practically everything I've come across.

Hello everyone!
First of: I'm not sure if this is the right section, if not move.
Second of: thanks for the help you give, hope you can help me too.
I got a problem with my S3.
I was running Cyano10 Nighty (not the last one, i just update once a week) and in the last days my phone started to reboot randomly once in a while.
Today my phone start to reboot again, but it get stucked at the SG3 logo. I coudn't turn it off so i unpluged the battery. I tryed to reboot it again and nothing heppened, still stucked at the logo.
I tryed to run into CWM and then apply a recovery but I wasn't able to go into CWM. I can only make the phone run into Download mode.
I tryed to run Odin and apply some random firmware just to see if it woud work but when i plug in my S3 in donwload mode odin couldn't see it (and the whole Pc couldn't see it too).
I tryed to install kies first to get the driver, it didn't work.
I installed the S3 Toolkit and then installed the driver from here, it didn't worked.
so i'm asking: What can i do? I don't know if the phone must be functional while trying to install the drivers. Whereas i can find another S3 and finish the driver's installation, but then will Odin work?
Any suggestion is appreciate, Thanks for the help!
EDIT: I've noticed that when i put the phone on charge on screen appear a stuck battery logo, it doesn't get green and the grey spin doesn't spin.
Also in donwload mode i read this: (not sure if this can help)
Product name:
Custom binary download: No
Current binary: Samsung official
System status: Custom
Does this mean 100% no warranty?

I've seen Product name being empty before... I think it was something to do with a bad flash.
And, I'm assuming you used TA... but there's probably no warranty seeing the product name is wiped and it's "custom".

I've flashed the CM10Nighty trought CWM, but i was using it since a long time.
The phone was correctly working and then i found it stucked on logo. No flash between the "working phase" and the "stucked on logo phase".
It was working and then stuck, but i didn't do nothing in between.

What happens when you try to boot into CWM?
Looks like you may have a corrupted NAND and need a new motherboard.
Only way to know, is if you try to flash it in Odin you'll get a PIT error.
If that's the case, then they should fix it under warranty

I can't use Odin cause when i plugin the phone (in download mode) Odin and the whole PC can't see it. I have win8, i don't know if that's a problem for Odin or something.
Is there a way to check if i have driver/odin/any working without using the phone?

Okay so I've had my s3 for quiet a while but never actually used it properly until today.
First issue was it didn't get past the samsung boot logo, it showed the carriers boot logo( three UK) followed by the samsung one but didn't go any further.
I thought oh crap I guess it's time for a reset. I do the usual factory reset through recovery mode. But noticed that it started saying E:/ removed or something.
Now not only no network carrier to be seen but stuck in samsung i9300 screen. Boot loop.
Next action fire up Odin and see if I can use the (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610) to get back and downloaded THREE different firmware as I wasn't sure of which one to download as I couldn't access my settings.
Next thing I know Odin says pass but it is on this constant loop of green android man and samsung!!!
I removed the cable and closed Odin but still stuck on it. I can't access recovery mode only download mode.
What do I do guys?!
P.s all this time I had no root installed
I would suggest warranty claim as you have never rooted i

Hello everyone this is the official odin package for the galaxy mega ATT version. With this you can get your phone back working if you get the "This phone is not running authorized software crap. " etc . Also hope it encourages more people to find a root method without the fear of having a brick. As many of you know this package was nowhere to be found so I had to bribe a Samsung employee to give it to me which means it wasn't free for me but I'm sharing it with you guys so if you send me a beer my way i'll be happy not mandatory.
This package is in multiple parts:
I527UCUBNE7
AP: Must be flashed under PDA in Odin. This is the biggest file and contains your system,recovery and kernel partition Download
BL: This is the bootloader. If you already took the update ignore this but if you want to upgrade your phone you must flash this Download
CP: This is the modem and other network related partitions. You must flash this under Phone in odin Download
CSC: This contains carrier related settings for our firmare. Flash this under CSC in odin. Download
Highly Recommended to perform a factory reset after the flashing is completed. Let me know your results
Omg !! Super thanks bro !!!! =))))))))
So good !!!!! update successfully
Thanks again !!!
so the guys that have tried this can confirm that is working!
and also liked to know how root is being dealt with

Garack has been working on it and has actually posted a file to flash in Odin I beleive. He say that if it boots up, then root should be obtainable.
Not sure anyone has tried it yet.
It is in the "root bounty for 4.4.2 update" thread
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I527 using XDA Free mobile app
im getting error last stage on system upload any advised ?
@ Sunderwear Thank you very much for the great post and instructions. I'm currently testing it out with my i527 AT&T with ODIN 3.09... will post results in a few minutes. My phone was stuck in reboot after official 4.4.2 AT&T update left it in loop mode... give me a few minuytes and I'll post my results!
Too close. I did all the steps, and indeed it passed all Odin steps (picture), but it's still stuck in loop mode. When I try to go into Recovery mode (Vol + and HOME), it will only show the blue letters on top of the screen (picture), then it reboots on its own... no fix do you know a possible fix for loop mode.
If I go to Odin mode (Vol - and HOME), this is what I got (picture)...

Has your phone been repaired.. Like a broken screen recently? And if it fails with the red letters at system upload. M. Try again with a different USB cord or port. I own a cellphone repair shop and have been using the files with no problems

Yeah, the screen was replaced a while ago. The phone went bad once it installed the 4.4.2 official update. I will try use some other usb cable. I have plenty of microusb wires. Do you think the screen has something to do with it?

Ok, I used a different port using also a brand new official/original Samsung MicroUSB cable to retest it. :crying: no work, again stuck in loop mode. Tomorrow, I will get another computer to retest this with another one. Will post the results tomorrow.
When the phone loops, I do not have any letters that appear anywhere besides the Samsung Galaxy Mega logo. it just vibrates, and then it restarts without showing any messages/letters.
You mentioned "Red letters at System Upload" is that when I hold Vol - and home? because I only get the blue letters if I do the Vol+ and home.
Thank you for your patience man. I'm sort of a noob, well, not sort of!
I haven't tried this yet...but I will back up tomorrow and report back how it goes with my unit...I still have my factory with no knox bootloader so far..and was debating if I want to even try really...

No worries. I was asking because the same happened to me with a customers phone..got screen replaced..then he took the 4.4.2 ota update..got stuck at samsung logo bootloop..i loaded the firmware like 4 times..re partition with pit file and erase all nand...I would get stuck in the same screen saying entering recovery..So it's an issue going around. Last resort would be sending it to Samsung

Yes Sunderwear that will happen because there is 3rd parties making aftermarket screens and people were buying them as replacements...If you don't have the OEM screen the driver in the firmware won't work and it will hang...I run in to something like this on a Galaxy S4 I repaired...

Sorry for the long delay. I think I found the full issue with the Samsung Glaxy Mega boot loop on 4.4.2
My phone is till not working. We own four 6.3 Megas (1 my wife, 1 daughter, 1 son, and mine).
Officially I have 2 that are not working properly and stuck on boot loop. My wife and daughter are working properly on 4.4.2 my son's now and mine are stuck in boot loop. Wife's phone has original screen and it's working properly, my daughter has a replacement screen I bought on ebay for about $160.00 on January. My son's I've replaced the screens about 3-5 times already (a ton of money wasted), and mine, recently I did replaced it on May (before the 4.4.2 update on June). Here goes the issue:
My son's phone updated today about 2 hours ago while we were visiting the AT&T store for U-Verse Quote. Did not know it updated until we got home... Sons' phone is stuck in boot loop also now!!!!!!!!!!!! What I did was I took my daughters phone apart (with expensive replacement screen and currently running 4.4.2), and installed the screen on my sons and then mine, and each phone would work flawlessly with that screen, so I took the current replacement screens I had from my phone and my son to install them on my daughter's and each one would go into boot loop.
After that, I re installed the good screen on my daughters back, and daughters work properly again. I guess the generic OEM screens from eBay I've been buying for $50 bucks are not compatible with 4.4.2 Kitkat, they are only compatible with 4.2.2 Jelly bean.
Anyone knows where I can buy original screens? I've contacted several sellers on eBay to see if the screens work on 4.4.2 because I don't want to spend more money on screens. I just got 1 from China 2 days ago, and that one also gets stuck in boot loop... so frustrated with screens. All my OT from work goes to pay for these issues... Help anyone? Anyone sells working 4.4.2 compatible screens?
Also, I will buy a broken ORIGINAL screens from ebay (like $7-$10) to test it out and verify. I will post results. Hope this experiment (and my sadness) will help you guys out if stuck in boot loop.
P.S. Oh yeah, I did do both phones on PDA, then all BL,PDA, etc... and I still get boot looped. I have to say THANK YOU to the original autheor because it does work! It's just my screens that doesn't work!!!!! HELP GUYS!!!!!:crying:
Is there a certian order u need to flash these in?
Any short tutorials..
Ive flashed odin pda only b4..
Have to factory reset first?
Thanks guys.
Dear friends
My phone was delivered with some SuperSU, and some days ago when it asked to be updated, I accepted that option and after the phone/SIM couldn't connect to the network so I could only make emergency calls.
After reading several articles on this site, I've tried to flash through Odin 3 several times, but every time when the phone reboots, it first erases something with Android logo and after that is stuck at Samsung logo picture and nothing happens. As mentioned, I have tried to do this activity several times but nothing helps. What can be done now to proceed?
Model is SM-G925F and I downloaded the firmware from Sammobile (SM-G925F/PAK/), and its following version which I have been trying with:
5.1.1: G925FXXU3COJ1_G925FOJP3COJ1_G925FXXU3COI9_HOME.tar-md5
Thanks.

What android version was the phone on before you flashed the firmware? 5.1.1 or 6.0.1?
How long did it stay on the samsung logo? Was the led lit up blue?
Power off phone.
Once off hold vol up + power + home together.
Keep holding them buttons and phone will boot into recovery.
Once in recovery wipe cache partition and wipe data/factory reset.
Try that first it should work.
Keep me updated
Thanks bro, tried this and it didn't help.
However, I discovered following error message:
dm-verity verification failed...
Need to check DRK first...
I think it was 5.1.1. before flashing. And the Samsung logo is there for hours...haven't tried days though.

Update it using Samsung Smart Switch.
Update to mm ROM
What actually worked in the end was "SpaceX-Kernel_MM_RC2.1_G925F.tar.md5". Thanks to all suggestions.
However, I am back to the original problem now. The phone cannot use any service provider, tried with both foreign and local Norwegian sim. It simply says that only emergency calls possible. This was the initial problem which I tried to solve by flashing ROM.
Any suggestions regarding how to deal with this?

Alright, I screwed up my phone. I was trying to root it, and this morning when it said everything passed and I was restarting my phone, where the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge screen and at the bottom it says powered by android....DOESN'T GO AWAY. It just stays there on that screen. So, I downloaded the stock firmware for the Canadian Bell S6 Edge cellphone, and tried to flash the old system back on my phone and the error message comes up: SW REV. CHECK FAIL DEVICE 4 BINARY 2
I have no idea what that means, I cannot find a reason on the internet.
I do not know how to fix my phone back to stock everything.
I am losing it, everything has been going wrong!!!
Can anyone please guide me how to fix it.....if at all possible. I know just a couple of things, I am not cellphone savvy at all. I really don't think I am ever gonna root my phone ever again. lol

Hey! I'm having the same problem with my SM-G925I. Did you find a solution?
I've already try with multiples firmwares and smart switch. I still can't boot into the recovery, not even when I flash a twrp recovery.

Can you get on to the phone?
The phone keeps rebooting every time it shows Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, powered by Android. Also, in red, it says RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING. I've downloaded and flash a couples of firmwares from sammobile and flash twrp recovery, but it keeps doing the same thing and I still can't boot into recovery.
pd: sorry for my bad english,
