I need help to unbrick my phone. Here are the details of my phone and things I did before it became useless.
- Version: Updated version of Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Marshmallow Android 6.0.
- replaced its recovery with TWRP via odin (3.10.6)
- install a ROM with the use of TWRP recovery.
- After rooting my phone and flashing a new rom via TWRP, I can't use my phone's physical buttons.
I also tried full-wipe installation of Custom rom and I got the same issue. I tried restoring it to a stock rom, but it always says "Fail".
Do you guys have any suggestions how can I fix my phone?
Which rom did you flash?
What point in odin does it fail?
I take it you have G925F? Not G8.
Whats your region and what firmware did you try to flash (stock)

Thank you for your reply. Here are my answers:
-I flashed "CarHDRom" to my phone using TWRP 3.0.
- Yes, 825F is just a typo, G925F is the correct model name. I double checked it in the box.
- Philippines, and I already downloaded the firmware that you suggested in another post about softbricked g925F (G925FXXU3DPAD_G925FOXA3DPAD_XEU).

I would first try with odin v 3.10.7 not 3.10.6.
Make sure you have origional cable and debug mode is on in dev options.
If this fails look for the firmware in the picture. Download and flash that.
Any problems let me know

I suggest TWRP. Make a full Nandroid back up before just incase. But if anything goes wrong you can just flash that stock back to fix.
I would root first with cf autoroot.
Then flash your ROM.
Do a full wife when rom installer asks as this is safest way.
If it bootloops just wait.
Glad i can help
Well it looks like CarHDRom is not compatible with my phone. Tried flashing it twice and I waited for 30mins of booting but it doesn't continue.

It is compatible im using it mate. Did you do a clean install? Wipe data when installer asks? My first boot took around 30 mims
30mins? Seriously?? Yeps.. I did a full wipe before booting with the CarHDRom.. is it the most stable TW based ROM now? ? thanks !

Did you do full wipe in aroma?

sorry i am a noob
but i can get any original firmware or according to my region ?
i logged in to sam mobile and i found many firmwares choose any one of the ?
thanks for the reply
sam mobile should have the original firmware for your region. the latest and the older ones I believe. Any original and official firmware, even older ones should work fine. You could always update back to the latest official one using kies once your phone works again.
Alternatively you can check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 for your region specific firmware. Just follow the intstruction of flashing with odin and it should be fine.

Thanks mate
do i have to download the kernel ?/
The entire firmware info package you can download from the XDA thread has the kernel already. The Stock kernel download is just to reflash the kernel in say errors with kernels or if you flashed a CF-root kernel and want it back to original. Follow the instructions in the opening post regarding to flashing with Odin completely.

My Mega was on 4.2.2 before I even thought about rooting it. The Samsung mega only has 4.2.2 firmware does it not? If it doesn't where do I find the lower firmwares?
This issue won't allow me to enter recovery mode. I can only enter download mode or ODIN is what its referred to.

Yup,the mega still on 4.2.2 but some of newer firmwares got knox on it...try search the firmwares on SamMobile..or maybe @starmaster10 can help.
Edit:you cannot downgrade if you knox tripped.Choose the exact firmware you running before.

Did you backup your efs files before flashing? Or make a nandroid backup?
It's is very hard to repair lost or corrupted imei.
What error message in Odin?

So, some of you might have noticed that I made some thread in General section, for Oreo TWRP Backup.
Some people do not like this idea, therefore I created a TWRP flash-able .zip for that.
I recommend a full wipe, or even a format data before flashing this.
Download the 3 zips, flash in order, boot, enjoy.
The files are stamped with a number, so you know what to flash in which order. Easy right ?
There is no root. I've heard SuperSU works flawlessly, but did not try as I am fine without it.

This requires TWRP; if you have TWRP then your knox is already tripped.

Please add step-wise guide to avoid confusion for people (whether to flash using Odin or TWRP).

I have flash the 3 files and all perfectly work on my G950F, before i was on AQH3 XEF (France). Samsung health work, secured folder too. I juste have a "problème", it's that we can't install update by OTA. If your phone with this files crash, it's maybe because you don't have wipe with twrp before.

Flash correct version of the firmware. It looks like your phone is running custom rom. Download the Korean firmware (N) and try to flash with odin.

have you solved as yet?
read the thread fully.
if not the issue was solved by using an older version of Odin.
you need the appropriate ROM for your region, in your case as was mine you need firmware from Korea (N).
