no help for me?
:crying:
Are you disconnecting the phone or waiting for it to completely finish? Maybe clean out the charge port?
I am not by any means able to correct the issue, but i've never seen a successful odin operation where the device is removed and then completed.
Good news is that it can still go into download mode. So it should not be too difficult to correct. I am assuming you're using latest Odin with the original usb cable and have tried with different ports.
Sometimes it may need a slightly older version of odin to work. You may even have to download the firmware again. Or take it to where you bought it...
But... DO NOT LAUNCH IT!

I suggest download the latest firmware for your phone try flashing it still don't work then try getting the pit file too and firmware and try both?
Since I screwed my s6 edge up as it was not mounting system and cache so I had to get latest firmware, pit file and then in odin tick re-partition and flash then it worked just went into recovery wiped cache and factory reset reboot and done

I disconnecting the phone after Odin> PASS (disconnecting usb)
The usb port is clean (spray contact)
I don't use other port usb and other cable usb, because the Odin procedure it is successful (PASS)
After PASS I disconnect usb, the Phone rebot - it appears android robot- erasing- logo edge -logo samsung,
but nothing done (I waited a long time)
Odin is 3.13.1 (I believe latest version), I have not tried other old versions because the procedure is Ok (Pass)
I worked on this cell phone I believe 30 hours...
I'm a stubborn girl, I do not accept not to recover the phone..
I do not launch it, but the temptation is there
thanks for help

I'm trying with last firmware for edge (italy- ITV-nogaut7)
it was the first one I tried. and now is impossible using old firmware, cs.bin file no Pass in Odin...
Pit file i read is not necessary for stock firmware, but yesterday I also tried with Pit file (Zerolte eur open hidden60M)
the Odin procedure Pass, but after the phone not installing system ( but maybe I did not reset factory and cache..)
when it is in bootloop, enter in recovery is not easy, and when I go into recovery..I have to be quick to select otherwise the phone hangs...(even with twrp sometimes it crashes)
I do not understand if it's because the phone bootloop, or is the problem hardware (memory flash)
thank s

Hi all,
I have a Samsung galaxy S3 GT-I9300. 2 days ago it crashed and won't boot anymore. The reason was can't mount /cache, can't mount system ... on recovery mode. I tried only the wipe cache option and it did nothing.
I started looking at the forum to understand how to fix it. I deciced first to make a backup of my data if possible so I downloaded Odin v3.07 and philz_touch_6.07.9-i9300.tar.md5. I read in another thread that we can manage to copy data from the phone using philz tools.
The problem here is that flashing philz tools with Odin fails all the time. Now I can only access the download mode. At boot, I have a "Firmware upgrade encountered an Issue..." I tried with Kies recovery but it failed too.
In my sdcard, I have no folder clockwordmode ! In download mode
PRODUCT NAME : GT-I9300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD : Yes (3)
CURRENT BINARY : Custom
SYSTEM STATUS : Ofiicial
I am bit lost as there seem to be a lot of options in other threads. I don'y know where to start or what to do ? is it the PIT files to restore ? the firmware, the kernel ? the whole OS ?
Many thanks
Don't use pit file. pit is Last resort!!!! Get stock firmware from sammobile.com and flash it through Odin. Forget kies. Read about Odin before flashing.
You'll need to flash with a *.pit file, and the ROM downloaded from sammobile in order to restore your device. Use the *.pit file as the absolute last option to restore your phone. It will repartition your phone, and any power loss of either the machine you are flashing from, or your phone will render it a permanent brick.
Thank you
I am downloading the latest firmware from sammobile (1.1 GB) and Odin 3.09. There are specific instructions for Odin on sammobile website so I don't think i'm goint to mess it up. I will let you know if it did work for me.
I tried to flash the image from sammobile but it failed. There is no log I can read to understand why
Here is the name of image I downloaded I9300XXUGML2_I9300FTMGML2_I9300BVUGML1_HOME.tar
Concerning Odin, its the 3.09 GS3 by l0gan

Shall I try with an older image (this one is the latest) ? or retry by messing the PIT ?
Nand write fail = motherboard replacement.
Keep trying to flash and don't give up but please leave pit till the end. Yes try three part recovery firmware and older firmware "not ics" SDS on ics firmware and you don't want that. But at the end of the day nand write fail means hardware failure.

However, I still have the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue" at boot I removed the phone when I saw the message Removed in Odin. I am not sure whether it didn't let the process finish well or I did right. Any ideas or suggestions ?
I succeeded to reinstall the latest firmware and I got back the samsung logo at boot. However It still doesn't go any further and no recovery mode ... Is there a way to check the status of the system ?
Omg its alive!! Odin said pass! Just keep flashing that firmware till you get recovery and then factory reset.
Try the rescue firmware in general thread, follow the instructions exactly.

Hello
An update of my case. After struggling 2 days with NAND write fail and trying lots of firmwares... I succeeded to install CMW recovery tool. From that, I installed Cyanogenmod 10.0.2. I struggled to make it boot too as it looped on cyanogen logo many times.
Now I must confess that I am afraid of rebooting the phone as I thought it was dead :angel:
Hope it helps someone else :highfive:
Great feed back for others. and go's to show never give up flashing with Odin. Odin is a pain in the ....
Congrats :thumbup:

What model of s6 edge you haw??Look on samifirmware for yours model.Use odin 3.10.6 i think
and use the right region code BTW branding code..for free Germany it's dbt as example..
I hate to say it, but I have the exact same issue...
I tried to install TWRP, now the screen just goes blank after the Samsung logo.
I have downloaded the latest O2 UK firmware, flashed as normal using odin 3.10.6, and I get a "fail" too
Please could someone suggest something?
Thanks
EDIT: Re-flashed root, and all good again!

PIT related error bothers me .......
@aneeqkhan I know this thread is a bit dated now, but nobody has replied to you question either? I am trying to recover my friends Galaxy S6 Edge SM-G925I, his bricked after a failed standard OTA update. Flashing stock firmware worked for about 1 week then the whole thing crashed and is un-bootable. Attempting to flash the exact same firmware again in hopes that I could boot into recovery (recovery by button combination DOES NOT WORK!) so was hoping to just boot and factory reset (I was thinking that maybe a data corruption was the cause we didn't wipe his phone because he didn't back it up)...upon putting the device into download mode and flashing the exact same firmware package that worked the week before I get the same error that you are getting? Not only that but none of the claimed fixes online for these devices has worked!?
Note: This is a 100% stock device never had anything flashed to it before I got it and still hasn't had anything custom flashed to it either
I am more interested now if you managed to recover your S6 and if so how did you do it?
I did a factory reset / cache partition wipe and sold it to a guy, now he is telling me that the phone says it is locked to my previous Google Account that was used to sign in to the device so I changed my password temporarily and gave him my email/password but when he signs in, it says that he needs to sign in using one of the owners accounts used on this device! but this is the account, I don't have any other Gmail account since 2 years
I then googled this problem and I saw many people experiencing the same issue and the solution was to load the OS again, so I downloaded Lollipop 5.1.1 from Sammobile but when I try to flash it it gets stuck on SetupConnection
please help now the phone is stuck on the Downloading page and since I cannot remove the battery, I can't even do a battery pull anymore!!!
But now I still cannot flash, here is what Odin says:

I took it to the service center and they told me that I need to pay USD $40 to have them unlock it as this is not covered by warranty. I refused and took the phone back because they said that it would require 2 working days for it to be unlocked so I thought by that time the 72 hour time since I've changed my Google Account password would have lapsed by then. I am furious now!
I tried Odin 3.10.7 which was what Sammobile offered me to download after I have paid for the fast download service.
I don't know how to check anything in this phone at the moment since I cannot login even with the same email that was used before
Do note that when I tried to download the firmware from Sammobile, I ensured that I entered my exact same model which is G928C and United Arab Emirates
Hopeful fix for Ur S6 Edge
Hi, firstly I am so sorry to hear your going through the exact same problem that I had with my Samsung Galaxy S4 Active. I purchased that device without realising it was never launched in my country. That was a huge mistake. Secondly it was running ICS and I wanted Jellybean or Lollipop, so I formatted it and downloaded the Jellybean version of another neighbouring country and it got bricked while trying to install using Odin, that was an even bigger mistake. Exactly like what has happened to you.
I couldn't take it to the Samsung service centres as this device was never released for my country and I knew they would charge me a bomb to fix it. I tried everything for almost 2 weeks. I hardly ate or slept. I was checking YouTube vids, reading through all the developer sites, met all the nerds and computer geeks I knew but with no luck I decided to take my phone and dig a grave for it along with the time and money I spent, but then I came to this site (sorry I don't remember the site name), where this guy had the exact same problem.
The solution was sooo very simple. Just do a factory reset when you boot into developer mode (if you cant boot into developer mode and if your device is completely bricked just charge the device to the max and install the OS i mention, it will unbrick your device and get you into the Samsung loop stage which also allows you to go into developer mode) and charge your phone till a 100%. Now go to SAMMOBILE and download the latest firmware, irrespective of the location, just make sure you download the latest one, am guessing it may still be a Lollipop and not a Marshmallow update. Try to download the Finish (as in Finland) firmware and install it using Odin. Thats it. You should be home through and finally that sign of relief will show up on your face once your S6 Edge boots back to life.
I personally hope that this solves it for you and I hope I am not too late. If you still have any other doubts before going ahead, here's my e-mail id: [email protected]. Honestly hope it works out, I know exactly what your going through. Good luck!
Joe
Hi everyone, i firstly apologize if i'm on the wrong page with this question but i'm desperate and totally new to all of this, in way over my head really.
Here is my problem i have rooted my S6 Edge then i wanted to install TWRP Recovery before installing Xposed?...
But what happened is, my device got stuck during TWRP (i used Flashify).
After failing i looked for answers online i'v dowloaded Odin .6 and .7 i went into Odin mode and tried to flash stock firmware SM-G925FXXU3QOKN but it failed near finishing on both Odins. Now i'm not even sure anymore whether anything after "SM-G925FXXU3" is right or whether it even matters because i couldn't find the firmware for my country but on sammobile the firmwares of all our neighbouring countries end on "QOKN" so i guess what are the odds?
Now my device doesnt startup at all, unless it's plugged into the pc it displays a BLUE SCREEN: "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software"
(Smart Switch doesn't give me any options, Samsung kies is disabled by Samsung)
while the device is plugged in and showing the text i can get into Odin mode.
If anyone of you guys could help me out, that would mean a lot to me.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT; My device was running 5.1.1 lollipop

Hi Jamie, you probably have the right firmware BUT right after you've flashed the firmware and it fails at "hidden.img" you need to open the firmware file you have flashed and extract the "hidden.img" file.
Okay, when you have done so rename the file to "hidden.img.tar" (you may receive a warning that the file may become damaged)
Don't worry, proceed!
When the file is renamed, open Odin and add the hidden.img.tar file to the AP/PDA tab and flash it unto your device.
Be patient.
I tried newest uk beta (BTU) recently and i wasn't happy about the battery etc.
Flashed newest lollipop firmware for NEE csc. I have tried so many firmwares and no luck .. :crying:
Do i miss something big time? and i am 100% sure about that firmware is right.

Getting this kind of log from odin. note this is copy from another thread, otherwise same but buildnumber is different..
I can't even flash twrp/philz recovery. without getting some error, PIT related.
I can't access recovery by anymeans as it wil boot up to that ''smart switch blablabla'' and pc will say it is not supported etc.
I only can access download-mode.
I have tried flash stock 5.1.1 PIT but it makes no difference.
This is 32gb model. How deep i'm in brown?
Got this working!
First i used odin 3.10.7 -> all fails
Then tried 3.10.6 -> first try successfully only that hidden.img was failed but i extracted from firmware and and flashed it after that.
Hope this helps someone.
if you had used smart switch on your pc, it was a lot easier............:good:
