I tried to root my S3 (i9300) that I just bought from a friend with a custom ROM and it got bricked. After following most of the guides from similar threds, I was able to make the boot screen appear but now it won't get past that!!!
it shows an error at the top left conner in green color reading as follow: jump kernel
can anyone kindly advise me or guide me to how I can make the phone work again?
If it had a custom rom then it was already rooted. Follow the guide in general forum to flash back to stock rom via odin on your pc. If you can access download mode (from off hold volume down, home then power button until the Samsung logo appears) then thus should work.
Make sure you read and fully understand what you are doing otherwise you'll end up with a full brick.

Hi, all,
I used the ODIN Root for my T-Mobile Galaxy S6 Edge (model 925). I did everything, downloaded the proper zips and exe's and all, and began to root. Everything was going fine, my ODIN exe told me everything was fine, and my phone boots up...
...and stays stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge: Powered by Android" splash screen.
I CAN'T EVEN TURN IT OFF!
Any help would be greatly appreciated
HOW TO SOLVE:
Even though the phone is on, Volume Down + Home + Power will still boot into Download Mode. So do that.
Use the Samsung Galaxy S6 (NOT edge! Yes, the 920 file) zip instead of the Edge zip. And don't use the included .exe - use the official, latest ODIN EXE.
I have the same issue !
So i need to flash the 920's root file ? It won't really brick my phone ?? Or It will boot my phone ?
Thanks !

Even though the phone is on, Volume Down + Home + Power will still boot into Download Mode, do not release any button until you see the download mode.

Please help tmobile s6 edge soft brick
I initially used odin to flash OI1 update, after a rom I was using caused problems and I got bootloop. It changed bootloader value to b:3 and I'm unable to downgrade now so I used smart switch which didn't recognize device so used emergency recovery and still bootloop. I have factory reset and wipe cache multiple times along with adb side load and individual flashes of bootloader, modem, kernel, flashed custom kernel and twrp to access fix permissions and to mount partitions with advanced wipe etc and still wont boot past logo. Also during one fix attempt phone said can't mount system.. Idk I'm not understanding where the problem is .everything says successful but I'm still in bootloop. Please help. I've spent hours everyday for the past week searching & trying different things that seem might help so open to any suggestions.
Hello ,
if phone stuck on logo it means you played with EFS .
If phone Stuck on Logo After Flash Stock it Means Phone has Bad Root Key it know as DRK (DEV Root Key)
It Takes very long to find me perfect solution.
You will need to root phone. ( to turn on )
You will need an UART Interface and Uart Cable.
Than You need to Authenticate MSL
After that Write the Cert With DRK Data.
Now Phone is Good .
Flash with Stock Rom.
Enjoy Your Phone Working Fine.

Hi, can someone please elaborate on this?
I have the exact same issue with the T-Mobile Galaxy S6 Edge SM-G925T
I've tried flashing G920FXXU2BOFJ with Odin but it just fails
I also flashed G925TUVS3DOJC perfectly with Odin but it's still stuck at the GS6 Splash Screen
Samsung Smart Switch does not work.
Can someone please send me the exact link to the file they used to fix this. Thank you

Hello xda!
I bought a broken s6 Edge of a co-worker. I thought i could fix it but its giving me a headache
The problem is that it only turns on when plugged into the computer, the screen than shows a emergency recovery option on Kies or swift switch (which requires a recovery code. And I nor my coworker have) the other thing I can do is boot into Odin.
Now my question is: Does anyone know a way to recover it without that code?
I tried installing a stock s6 edge OS on it using Odin but everytime I get a write error.
Please help!

You don't have the sn at the back of the phone?. No box?.
Sent from my SM-G925F
the best thing to do is get the repair firmware files from sam mobile, flash each file in the right loading area. i.e cp for cp, ap in ap. if you flash a full file (usually names HOME) it never repairs the phone fully
Hi, i need a little help.
i'm order a samsung s6 edge phone today, seller said installed android 7 rom to phone, when factory reset the phone. screen go to black. and not working.
- Leds working on the phone.
- Touch screen working
- can listen music from phone
connected to pc, (pc found a new driver and found the phone), oddin found the phone and can install new rom.
Maybe any one can help me ?
Really thanks!
Most probably, you should flash a new kernel compatible with Nougat with Odin. However, in my opinion, the best idea will be installing Samsung Kies and use Tools -> Emergency firmware recovery. Be sure that you have a backup of your pictures and other documents before doing it!
