Bricked with a R/L lock, what now?! - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I have a bricked G925F with R/L block. I got into download mode but the phone won't go into recovery of normal boot (no signs of life at all!)
I can't get anything on there using ODIN because of the R/L block. Any ideas what to do?

Thnx Osman, but the phone won't boot at all anymore, not even DL mode Only get an empty charging symbol when plugged in and the phone gets hot. That's it.

So That Happened After using smarthswitch??

Try restoring it by flashing your firmware with Odin. I softbricked my phone the other day so that might help you(?) Gluck Sorry if my suggestion won't do anything

Remove then insert battery. Then try holding volume down and home button while holding power button. Will it go to download mode? If yes, read hubix's tutorial in the development subforum it's a sticky thread.

Next time , use ODIN for flashing firmware . Kies was NEVER EVER reliable .
go to recovery mode perform a factory reset/data wipe that should fix it
Please use ODIN and flash with the one-package file from samfirmware. I did the same when Kies bricked my phone too while upgrading to Gingerbread. It works!

Nope, there is no recovery mode accessible either when Kies bricks your phone. Happened to me so. Just a stupid screen with a computer and phone icon with <!> in between them. But anyway my suggestion above of using ODIN should help him out. =)
I am just sharing my experience and hope it helps.

I had bricked my phone once where I could just see black screen and after some tries white screen and nothing. I removed SD Card and SIM Card and kept it aside. I then removed battery and tried putting phone in download mode. It still did not work then I waited 4-5 min and then inserted battery again. Then I tried putting phone in download mode and it successfully gone in download mode. Then my phone was not getting recognized thru USB cable for ODIN. I changed USB port still same issue then restarted my PC and then I connected phone to USB port and finally got Froyo installed again on my Galaxy Ace thru ODIN.

Can flashing a recovery even affect the ability to reach odin mode?
When you power up the phone, do you see anything at all?
Is it possible the battery is just dead?

If you've flashed something that has killed your phone completely, and a jig doesn't work, nor does the key combo to access download mode, then you're looking at JTAG service for it.

Galaxy S2 Not Booting Up

Hi,
The S2 was stuck in a loop when booting up, I went into recovery mode which worked ok. During the setup the phone crashed and after leaving it for around an hour, pulled the battery as it clearly was frozen.
Now the phone want boot up, charge or enter the recovery mode again.
Any suggestions? I've tried my own S2 battery but no luck so i've ruled out a dead battery.
not sure if its dead or not... can u get it to the recovery mode (volume up+home+power) or download (volume down+home+power) .... if u can then its probably a bad OS and u need to flash a new rom... if it doesnt even boot into he two modes then its bricked i.e dead...

[Q]S3 bootloop, no recovery nor download mode

I'm using v40 of temasek unofficial cm11, Boefflea version 11 kernel.
while I was using my phone, the phone suddenly went into a reboot and started the boot-loop, even when I pull the battery out and put it back in it starts booting immediately and goes into the boot-loop , whenever I try to go into download mode or recovery mode, once or twice I will be able to reach it, but 3 seconds in, it restarts and goes into the boot loop again (I can't choose between restarting or going into download mode)
would a USB jig help me getting into the download mode or will it be 3 seconds in and restarts?
would a service center help me retain my data as I need them?
Thank you.
momentarily I've managed to be able to access download mode and the laptop started making a sound trying to identify the device, too bad the battery fell off (or the phone restarted) lol
anyways I still need help because I couldn't get into any of them
If the phone starts the moment a battery is inserted then usually the power button is stuck -try giving it a wiggle, or get it replaced.

yeah will do that once this gets fixed lol ..
for some awkward reason, I found out that once I pull out the battery I can use download mode
what should I download?
I tried flashing CWM but I get back to the bootloop ... should I install a newer bootloader?
No, bootloader is irrelevant to firmware. You would be best to flash a full stock rom with odin then factory reset and see if it will boot. I would suspect the power cycling may have caused partition problems if recovery got wiped.

which would mean I would lose all the data in the previous cm11 right?
I'm trying my best to flash a recovery but I think it got wiped for good.. I'm trying to flash it over and over again .. (I unplug the battery once I'm in download mode to prevent the sudden restart) .. before I flashed the CWM through odin I was able to go into a glimpse of a recovery mode, now I can't seem to see it at all...
is there a way to just copy the data (mostly pictures) through odin or adb with my phone current state?
Google says it might be possible

only through recovery mode or hoping your phone would suddenly connect after many boots lol
I don't think that will be my case .. oh well
as long as I can get my phone working again
going back to stock rom didn't fix the issue. can't access anything yet.
any help?
if anyone is reading this, I've been looking everywhere for a stock rom with pit file, I think that's the problem I'm facing since I have different bootloaders and different modes, somewhere around that I jacked my partitions and I think this would help putting it all back
I've found ones for android 4.1 but nothing of 4.3 .. since I came from 4.3 stock rom and then 4.4 kitkat temasek I think 4.1 won't help me at all
time to go to a service center I guess.
OK this is weird...
after I gave up I put my phone on a recover firmware that for some bizarre reason brought it back to life!!! I just put the phone back and left .. 5 hours later it was on and working.. I was able to access the phone for a brief moment.. but for some reason again I wasn't able to get the touch screen to work... I was able to raise the volume.. restart the phone.. but nothing on touch screen..
then it went back to the dead state...
any ideas?

Please provide more information.
What happens when you try a normal boot, or a boot into recovery mode?
It seems that you can boot into download mode - does any device show up when you plug in your phone? Have you tried a different cable or a different port on your PC?

If it's not seen by your computer then you need to install the proper drivers. Odin should see your phone then

We'd love to help you, but can't since you seem to be unwilling to actually explain what you're seeing.
My suggestion: Plug your phone into your PC. The Verizon Recovery Assistant will appear. Allow it to recover your phone.
If that doesn't work, please consider explaining your problem without trying to fit it into a tweet as I still have no idea what you're asking.
