Hi all,
I'm trying to fix my friends Samsung Galaxy s6 SG-G925f which got itself in a bootloop. He hasn't flashed any roms, or rooted,... he's not too tech savvy, it happened by itself. I figured this would be an easy one, cause I could still get into download mode (impossible to get into recovery). So I downloaded the original firmware from sammobile (slow) for the 925F in Belgium, but as you can guess that didn't work. Odin failed flashing it.
I tried so many different things since then:
Different android versions that were listed on sammobile.
Tried flashing different recoveries, on which odin failed as well or reported that "recovery was not seandroid enforcing" following by a bootloop
Tried messing with the pit (ZEROLTE_EUR_OPEN_HIDDEN200M.pit), which finally made odin complete a firmware flash, but still no cigar.
I have read stuff about doh 6 and doi1, but I don't really understand any of it, not even sure if it applies to a Belgian phone.
Download mode reports:
SM-G925F
CURRENT BINARY: Custom (I have been able to change this to stock, but that's all it did)
REACTIVATION LOCK: OFF
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM
Secure Download: Enabled
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1 (0x020c)
RP SWREV: B:3 K:2 S:2
After an entire day, I haven't gone past the galaxy s bootscreen, haven't been able to enter any recovery mode, oh yeah and samsung smart switch emergency recovery failed as well.
I have fixed many different phones, just by reading on xda, but I'm really at a loss with this one. I would really appreciate some help!
Thanks a bunch
Kind regards
I have the exact same issue posted here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/help/soft-brick-s6-edge-g925i-t3346589
Well, I haven't been able to boot a single rom/recovery...
Flash these 3 things through Odin;
Make sure you use the correct Odin version (3.10.7)

Flash this ROM with optional Add on package for the bloat.

You should be up and running in no time.
Merci Michiel!
But sadly, that didn't work either. (I already tried flashing those files yesterday, did it again today) Still a bootloop, unable to get into recovery, I only see the samsung galaxy logo, with the red 'recovery is not seandroid enforcing).
Something weird just happened as well: samsung smart switch actually finished the emergency recovery without any error; said the device would reboot and that i had to reconnect it. I was overjoyed, but of course, you guessed it; nothing changed!
I should maybe also mention, that when I unplug the phone from the computer, the samsung logo appears once or twice and then stops. The phone becomes completely unresponsive until I hook it back up to the pc or charger.
This is not looking good, is it?
Don't worry. Will probably have something to do with your PIT file. Do you know your CSC code?
Well, I was also thinking it might have to do with the pit. I don't know where to find my csc, although smart switch had a pop up I copied that said: PDA: pb2 csc pb2 phone pbp. Don't know if this is what I need? Thanks a lot for the reassuring advice!
Hmmm... Where did you buy your phone?
Well, it's a friends phone, I don't exactly know where he bought it, but I think at Vandenborre. Although I also recall seeing (lux) somewhere in smart switch, does that mean it's bought in Luxemburg? Does this matter for the PIT file?
I just tried the latest MM from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G925F/PRO/
, but removed the hidden.img from the tar, no luck either...
Tried a couple of different PIT files as well, using the pit menu in odin and also tried putting them in the tar as suggested in a couple of posts. Nothing..
If nothing goes I will buy it for 50€.
No, it's not bought in Luxembourg but Vandenborre uses phones with LUX CSC. Don't ask me why.
Did you try;
SM-G925F OXA multi CSC ( BTU CPW DBT ITV KOR NEE XEF XEO XEU ) ZEROLTE_EUR_OPEN.pit?
Yep, that didn't work either, I'm going to try all the different PIT's on this website:
http://www.sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30136
Should I flash the bootloader, CP file and arter recovery with these pits, is it necessary to unpack them and add the pit file to the tar?
Could you send me the IMEI and/or SN by PM? Then I will see what the exact CSC and official firmware is.
Thanks a bunch for your help in this thread!
Still having no luck booting in any kind of operating system or recovery, although I've tried tons of different firmwares, PIT files, 4 versions of odin, and a dozen of smart recoveries. Stuck in bootloop and the only thing I can change is having the "recovery was not seandroid enforcing" message appear or disappear (without ever being able to enter in recovery). And sometimes the galaxy logo makes place for a blue screen telling me to use samsung smart recovery.
With the help of Michiel, I've found out it's a LUX version and Smart Switch Recovery shows a pop up saying:
"Initialized version: : PDAB2 / CSCB2 / PHONEBP (LUX)"
So I've flashed this firmware: G925FXXS3DPB2_G925FLUX3DPB2_G925FXXU3DPBP_HOME.tar.md5, but still nothing!!
Only explanation I can think of right now is that the above file doesn't contain a CSC/PIT and that the LUX version uses an unique PIT file? Is that even possible?
Same issue here
Have same issue , only "Boot Loop" and D.Mode, any recovery my G925F accept.
Tried a very Big lot of Stock fw, recovery, Custom Recovery, Repair Fw, but nothing get in recovery or boot up this phone.

Also i flash with Smartswitch his Original MM 6.0.1 "Wind ITV" get success but always in Boot Loop and very strange that this configuraction: "System Status: Custom", not turn back Official how will to be.
I know that is G925F branded Wind ITV, but have also flashed with 4 part file extract from "Smartswitch", (Tip of Zip in Temp folder), where there's also his PIT but nothing change
Honestly?, is the first time i cannot repair one S6/S6Edge....have also many Professional tool but useless for solve this issue.
So, since i've seen many users in the web with same issue, i hope that anybody can help we all to suggest what haven't tryed and finally understand where can be the real problem.:good:
If can help, have say me that can be one HW issue, some IC damaged but is very dangerous replace or rehoot these components...
Other expert have say me that can happen when try with "chimera Tool" tryng to repair Boot and have this result, i not know if in this one is been done it, this phone is of one my friend that love put his handles where not know...
Any Expert here can be of help?

hi all , my phone died about a week ago, ive tried flashing it with all sorts using odin, tried the kies restore method aswell all to no avail,
I cannot get passed the white Samsung gt-i9300 writing , I cannot boot into recovery, I can however get into download mode, odin recognises the phone, but whatever I flash it wants a pit file for, and when I input various pit files it just gets stuck at mapping pit (something like that)
displayed on download mode is the following :
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME :
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD :NO
CURRENT BINARY : SAMSUNG OFFICIAL
SYSTEM STATUS : CUSTOM
FIRSTLY notice there is no product name , upon reading up on this it means the phone has suffered sudden death syndrome, firstly if this is the case is there a way I can fix it?? secondly if not how likely is it that Samsung will fix it ?? considering it has custom firmware on it ?? shoud the custom firmware matter as from what I read its to do with a bad emmc which is hardware right ?
any advice or help will be appreciated
thanks

Nothing you can do, motherboard needs replacement. Your binary count is zero but phone was rooted, even so you should be able to get a warranty repair.
Contact Samsung and tell them SDS has happened.
Also, questions go in the Q&A forum, not general. A search would have returned many similar posts.
I have a probably soft bricked i9300 that I have inherited from my brother. Since it is almost impossible to do anything with my HTC Desire, I would like to get this S-III running and use it.
According to my brother's explanation Viber was locking on the Phone so he got into recovery menu, pretty much pressed every option that he could found without knowing what he is doing. You may call it a monkey test. He is kind a over-confident non-technical guy.
Now the phone stays in non animation Samsung i9300 logo. Phone does not charge, I can get into download mode. Odin tells that it can't find the PIT file and When I give PIT file, it does not do anything.
Download Mode Screen Says
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME:
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
My questions are:
- Are there anything like a wiki page that puts everything together, so that I can see if I miss anything? I am not familiar with the android jargon. I am having hard time understanding all the parts. For example there are several PIT files, which PIT is proper for me?
- If nothing can be done with Odin/Kies/Heimdall, can someone connect with JTAG and correct it?
- Are there any professional who can make this JTAG (or whatever operation) for me that I can find in this forum? (Device is a grey market item so Samsung service is not an option for me)
Best regards
Zorbey
Product name is blank, emmc chip is blown so new motherboard required. If you searched and read this post why ask the same question?
This is not a tutorial, I will not explain how android works or how to flash or how to root. I just want to explain what I did to get my S6 Edge SM-G925X working as a WiFi Phablet.
I'm not responsible when you do something wrong to your device and brick it!
Don't ask for fully functionality - the radio parts on the board are missing and so you will not get mobile calls or sms texts or 2G/3G/4G data connection.
Yesterday I got a S6 Edge LDU (SM-G925X) but was not able to really turn off the retail mode software (even with the right passwords found by google). PingPong root didn't work and CF-auto-root I didn't want to use because of tripping the knox flag (it would not really matter but I didn't want to)
So I decided to replace the ROM with a regular S6 Edge stock rom.
I went to sammobile and downloaded the oldest available German stock firmware for the SM-G925F since I'm from Germany. This version: G925FXXU1AOE3_G925FDBT1AODO_DBT.zip
I took the oldest one since I wanted to try PingPong root later again.
I suppose any other firmware should work as well but when it is to new, PingPong root will fail.
The *.tar.md5 file I renamed to *.tar and removed ALL files inside except these five:
boot.img
cache.img
hidden.img
recovery.img
system.img
I flashed the .tar file with ODIN 3.10.6 (3.9 or 3.10 didn't work).
After that I had a S6 Edge without any retail mode software
Then I used PingPong root to root the device and now I have all options and no annoying retail mode. Fingerprint sensor works good else I tested nothing until now.
Now I enjoy my new cool Phablet device but I'm not really sure whether I love the edges or not
I recommend you to turn on flight mode to save energy since the LDU has no radio hardware but the ROM is for regular S6 Edge and tries to connect to mobile network permanently. You can still use WiFi, NFC, Bluetooth.
Don't ask me to upload this or that or to explain it step by step. You should know what to do from what I wrote here ore leave your device alone! (sorry noobs)

Same here. I'm getting the "complete(write) operation failed" error.
Anyone could help? tried different things suggested on the internet, sadly none of them worked.
Try to delete *.bin files right in tar archive with Total Commander. It has full-featured trial and can modify tar without repacking.
I just bought a S6 Edge LDU (LRX22G.G925XXXU1AOC6_LLK) off ebay in hope of getting rid of the Samsung Retail Mode and using it as a wifi device. I followed instruction that I can find on XDA, but mission has not been successful so far. Here's what I have done.
1. Trying to disable Samsung Retail Mode but failed. Password 5444 or any other passwords that I can find just doesn't work, even the menu in Samsung Retail Mode is different: There is no "“Configuration settings”, instead, there is "Store Settings" which asks for password. Without Samsung Retail Mode disabled, the phone can't be restarted nor power off, and the entire Developer Options is greyed out (which means no USB debugging mode, therefore Odin wont work when the phone is on).
2. Flash modified rom for G925F (G925FXXU1AOE3_G925FDBT1AODO_DBT.zip, with cm.bin and sboot.bin removed) succeeded, but the phone stuck at Samsung Logo page with no light on, it also seems the recovery mode is gone, only download mode is still available.
3. I flashed stock recovery for G925F, G925T with Odin. The flash succeeded, but the phone still stuck at Samsung Logo.
4. I tried to fix it with Smart Switch, but after entering model SM-G925X, then the serial found at the back, the program just close it by itself.
Have you disabled Samsung Retail Mode before you flashed the rom for G925F?
This doesn't work on my g925x. I think it's due to the Factory Reset is still locked by Samsung. It will give "MDM does not allow FactoryReset " message when I was trying to wipe data and factory reset via stock recovery. I was able flash a G925f to the unit which changed the baseband version and Build number to G925F, but retail mode is still there and running.
I also can't find a way to disable Samsung Retail Mode. The password 5444 or galaxy just doesn't work.

how are you able to install g925f? i tried to flash base the first thread. Bricked it and now it doesn't boot up. Which version of the firmware for g925f and did you flash similar to the instruction given by OP?
After trial and error I got it. The demo version i had would not work with any of the passwords that i could find online. There were actually 2 part demo software on it. The only thing that i could get odin to flash to my g925x was cf_auto_root then i downloaded root browser from play store. Then i used root browser to manually delete all whole folders and files that had any reference to demo stuff. That pretty well wiped about 99% of it. Security settings still wouldn't let me do a manual restart, power down or do a factory reset. I still could not get odin to flash any other files until the other day when i found these files . https://www.mediafire.com/folder/79cjpyg0s604p/LDU_FIX . I then tried to flash AP and CP files and they both flashed woot woot (they are still the only ones that I can get to flash) upon reboot I could now do a full factory reset, power down, restart, etc... it has been wiped clean Hope this procedure helps. Let me know .
Thanks for that information. I was able to flash the ap and cp but still stuck on the Galaxy s6 edge live demo boot screen. i can't even go to recovery to do a reset. If i understand correctly, it's power+vol up+ home..it would just go directly to the galaxy edge boot screen.
When i use odin to flash ap and cp, it went successful and i was happy thinking that it will actually boot into lollipop. Bummer..

How long did you wait for it to try to boot ? It takes a while for the first boot after a full flash . Also, did you use cf auto root, if so which one ?
i waited at least 30 minutes. Also i didn't root. Do you mean cf auto boot?

My GT-I9300 international galaxy S3 gone brick itself, all of a sudden its stuck at the boot screen (white samsung ... text). I was using Cyanogen Rom 12 Unofficial Lollipop 5.1 for around 3 weeks (Everything Works Fine with few Lags and Reboots rarely in a day). I used various method's from noob to expert solution but didn't find success
Tried to reboot into recovery but no go, when i hold the buttons it just continues to reboot and reboot, only showing the white text.
Tried to reboot into download mode and that worked, i though fhew, i got a breath and not all is lost(Phone itself).
In Download mode,
It says : Product name = (Blank)
Custom Binary Download = No
Current binary = Samsung Official
System Status = Custom
Tried to recover with kies, but it complains that it cannot install new firmware (after i downloaded the firmware, extraction, and all instruction followed).
Tried with odin (several original roms with my region and the one from kies) but with no luck, odin complains "There is no PIT partition.".
Tried to repartition with GT-I9300_mx_20120329.pit but then it does SET pit and hangs on "Get PIT for Mapping".
Tried One Click Method but failure is what resulted.
Didn't Tried JIG Method (will buy if nothing works).
Is there any chance to save my phone ? I'm getting really desperate here.
:fingers-crossed:A Beer is sure to one that gets my problem solved :good:
---Waiting for Good---
So you just rebooted without changing ANYTHING before and then the device was stuck like you explained?
Have nearly the same problem.
Was using the original Samsung firmware. One day I want to power it on and I had the loop. It stucks on the white Samsung texts.
I cannot go in recovery mode, but I can go into Download mode. But whatever I try, there is no chance to flash an image with or without any pit-file. Always "There is NO Pit--Partition."
And: In my download mode, the product name is there. "GI-9300", no blank in my case.
Is there any chance to save our phones? :\
Thanks!
Did u try installing only a cm kernel through odin
This should bring you recovery
Bad news, blank PRODUCT NAME in download mode implies either broken motherboard, or at least broken eMMC, to the point that bootloader can't read board name.
Hard brick, don't waste your time, unless you want to replace eMMC or motherboard, which is currently not worth the money.
where to get PIT?

Can't boot to recovery. Only to download mode.
In download mode can't flash anything using Odin - Always gives NAND Write error.
When I try flashing PIT I am stuck at Get PIT for Mapping.
Tried:
Different Odin Version (3.13, 3.12, 3.07, 3.05, 1.85)
Different Cables, Ports etc.
Nothing works.
In the download mode is:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
When I try flashing with Odin, nothing on phone happens.
CSC, ROM, etc. I don't know them. This phone was brought in Czech Republic, and was probally locked to T-Mobile (because boot animation). But any sim worked. Cant get the info now because bricked.
Thanks
How did the phone brick?
It could be a defective internal memory chip that is causing the problem.

Also think that. Turned it off at night and left it charging. Btw it can be also sw problem because the phone was in awful state before.
It could be an eMMC problem. Mine died a week ago. Mine would boot into download mode and recovery mode. TWRP couldn't mount any partitions at all. Flashing firmware with Odin or repartition using pit file didn't work.

If you are interested in GS3 and eMMC hacking you will love this talk.
Oran Avraham gives great history, explanations and hacking details on this problem.

I tried this guide, but the eMMC firmware dump sha256 sum didn't match the sample sum provided in the guide and I decided to proceed anyway. Mine is probably permanently dead now. You can ask someone to pull the 0xf7 firmware. Just be careful
Thanks for answers. I got it. It got suddenly bricked. It is 80% sure emmc dead. I am not interested in repairing because costs. Thanks for everything
Afternoon; hoping someone can help as I am at a lose end.
I've been give an S7 (SM-G930F) which is displaying CUSTOM BINARY BLOCKED BY FRP LOCK which means I can't start the phone; I'm assuming the previous owner installed a custom ROM and then did a factory reset which activated this???
I have tried to flash the latest original firmware a few times, downloaded from Sammobile and Frija but still no avail! Odin starts but the fails on param.bin. Unfortunately, I also can't work out the original CSC code, I've tried all the UK ones but again no avail. Also tried just putting the AP in and BL, AP, CP and CSC but again nothing.
So I thought that I'd try to install TWRP and then boot and load in a new OS but Odin will not do this.
Also get a screen saying use Samsung SmartSwitch to do an Emergancy Recovery but when I connect the phone, more, energancy recover there is no phone listed as I've never connected it to a computer.
Anyone help at all? I'm at a lose end.

Sorry to say ... Best to return the phone and get a new one without activated FRP.
