I woke up yesterday and found my phone dead.
It keeps rebooting and I am stuck on the Samsung logo screen.
The notification light on the upper left side stays on when the phone has power.
I am NOT able to get in recovery mode, but I can get in download mode.
Holding the power button won't turn off the phone, I have to hold volume down + power button to turn it off.
Things that I've tried:
1. Kies and Smartswitch (Succeed! But the phone won't go further than the Samsung logo screen and it continues to reboot and reboot)
2. flashing firmware downloaded from sammobile with odin (I've downloaded 3 firmwares, two 6.01 and one 5.11, the two 6.01 work, it says "PASSED," then my phone reboots and it's all the same. It won't go further than the logo screen. The 5.11 one doesn't work)
3. flashing stock recovery and twrp with odin, ( i tried a few versions of those, the worked ones say "PASSED," but I then get recovery is not seandroid enforcing or no message at all, either way I am still not able to get into recovery mode
Please Help!:crying::crying:

Flash the stock 6.0.1 firmware that passes before. When phone is bootlooping hold only POWER AND VOL DOWN. This will power off and boot into safe mode. As soon as it powers on hold HOME POWER AND UP. So you need to hold down and power then as soon as it goes off and boots to galaxy s6 edge powered by android press vol up aswell this should get you to recovery. Wipe data and cache and it should boot up. Keep me updated

See if the charger cable is connected, holding the vol down+power button wouldn't shut down the phone (or maybe it shuts it down but it just reboots itself up immediately again)
I held the vol down+power button, and switched to holding the vol up+home button+power when I saw the logo came up, and while I was holding them, the logo faded and all I had is a black screen. I kept holding it anyway for 2 minutes, nothing happened. :crying:
please advise

I just used Kies to get the official firmware in it again. I am in the US. My phone though is an international version of the S6 edge SM-G925I.
I tried to flash a Stock Recovery in it with odin again since I just couldn't get in recovery and it failed!! I got it in last time when I was on the G925IDVS3EPIF_G925IOPS3EPGG_G925IDVU3EPIA_HOME.tar.md5 firmware

This is the one that I downloaded before. I extracted the zip, put the phone into download mode and connected it to the pc. Open Odin, press AP and chose the extracted file., "start". It passed and rebooted. But I am still stuck on the logo screen.
I also tried to separate the firmware files into AP and BL with script, it also passed, but I am still stuck!
What should I do?

I tried two g925I from india
One g925i from Australia (Optus)
One g925I from Australia (the latest two on the sammmobile site0
the kies, the smartswitch
all of them succeeded.
but i just can't get into recovery mode. I tried to flash stock recovery in it, even when it succeeded, i still can't get in recovery mode.
I tried flashing twrp too, it succeeded but there's "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" on the screen
when I tried a G925F one, it says "secure check fail <bootloader>" on the phone
now when i get into download mode, there are two lines at the bottom saying:

Yeah they will always show up in download mode.
Try to flash one again, but uncheck auto reboot in odin, after flashing try to boot into recovery. How long did you leave it booting for? Sometimes first boot after flash can take up to 30 minutes.
If not keep trying the combo i said...
Power and down until phone reboots.
As soon as screen comes back on powered by android hold vol up home and power.
You have to be quick with it you have to get the recovery buttons as soon as it boots.
Or try boot into download mode, then as soon as you press up to cancel it phone will boot, as soon as you press cancel do recovery combo

So that means you can get into download mode, which is a good thing. Go to www.sammobile.com, signup and enter you device and model number, download a stock firmware and flash through odin. Do NOT tick repartition or use a .pit file. Put it in the PDA and flash.

Its not that hard of a fix, I just explained how to fix your problem. If you want search the forum about how to fix a bootloop...
Also which carrier do I choose from?
Because it was locked to tmobile but I got it unlocked and I'm now on giff gaff so do I still pick tmobile?

It's still very early an I see a few people going stir crazy over finding a way to root their phones. I for one am not sure I want to root just yet, the reason being Samsung pay. If it's going to be as awesome as they say it will be I don't wanna miss out due to tripping Knox.
Now I do love flashing and all things root related but I'm willing to hold out.
What about you? Root or no root? Why?
I root right away even if I don't have a "good" reason too. Its the because I can. I don't really care about the tripping knox thing I guess because if you have insurance there is always a chance the device could get "broken". Then you don't have to worry about if its tripped or not. Thats the position Samsung has put me in I wouldn't typically do something like that. So ya now I'm just waiting for TWRP then I will try and make a ROM.
I tried to use chainroot, and got stuck on the logo screen. normally you'd battery pull, go to recovery and wipe data. but i can't find any way to shut down the phone, before doing power-upVol-home.
And now i've tried to odin a stock recovery to undo chainroot, odin fails. could re-run odin with auto-reboot off, but again, no way to shut off and go to recovery.
at this point i'm stuck with the blue screen asking me to use smart switch on PC to do emergency recovery. but smartswitch says the device is not recognized.
thoughts? thanks!
I don't care about warranty just samsung pay. I heard it was harder to make roms with exinos is that true?

Not sure what device you have but there was a video that said not to use the edge version of the root, and to use the regular S6 version. Running the S6 version will fix your broken device. Take this with a grain of salt, I'm just telling you what I saw. I will post the video link if I get a chance.
PS not sure if this actually helps you or not..
Rooting broke Google Play Movies on my phone, battery life was miserable and phone never went to sleep. After I unrooted everything went back to normal. So I am not going to root and just wait until things are cleaned up.
Every phone I've ever had has been rooted as soon as I got it. Not this time though, because of Samsung Pay.
If rooting breaks Samsung Pay, I'll never root the phone

not for me right now: i have the turquoise error screen telling me to use smart switch. volDown + power for 7 seconds turns the screen off... and then right back on a couple seconds later. and i can't seem to slip in the recovery key sequence during that gap.
volDown + power + home is a diff story: that brings me into download mode. but i don't have anything that works in odin right now without failing. very possible that i don't have the correct rom, or that the rom is fine but i just need to go into recovery mode to complete, but i can't seem to do that!

How about volume up+power+home to stock recovery to perform a factory reset?
No root for me I'm afraid! If I root this device I lose my nfc payment app (Semble) as it checks for root and locks the app if it's detected. Besides I've rooted every other phone I've had since iPhone Gen 1 and I don't really have the time anymore now I've got a 1 year old boy!

Why is ODIN failing? Drivers installed? Where did you get this recovery? If ODIN can see your device you flash back to unrooted stock firmware.
Also, someone mentioned that you can Vol down + power will shut the device down. As soon as the screen goes black take your finger off the power button, press and hold Vol up + home then press power. You can go right from download mode to recovery with just the buttons.
great questions:

1. i got them from mobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G925F/
I would love to hear if this is a good source. also, I don't know if it matters exactly which of those firmwares to choose (there are many, you choose country and carrier)-- i don't know which one came with this phone as it was sent as a demo to me and i didn't take a screen shot of the info screen (does it matter?)

2. that doesn't work for me, tried 15 times. I'm stuck with this turquoise error screen telling me to use emergency recovery in smart switch. i can easily get over to dload mode too. From either place, volDown + power gets the black screen and then immediately goes right back to the turquoise error screen, ignores anything else i seem to press, can't get into recovery.
No root for me either. It's hard lol. I miss it mostly for the adblocker. But I'm too worried that rooting with make it so I wouldn't be able to use Samsung pay when it comes out! If a root method is released that won't trip the KNOX sensor then heck ya, I'll root right away!

You need to be able to get to download mode to be able to do anything.
Vol down and power and home then press up. Maybe the button is stuck so press it hard.

Instead of clicking the volume up button in that screen, try clicking the home button. First time you click it, it shows you the SKU, IMEI etc, click the home button again to go into to ODIN mode.
I did as you said, odin detects after pressing the home button, i dowloaded the official firmware and install it using odin. odin says pass but nothing happens to my phone, it stucks in s6 edge screen and i cam still see the bar.
maybe you need to unplug your phone before going into d.loadmode. If nothing happens try to push the 3 buttons for a longer time, finely your phone will shutdown or reboting into downloadmode

Try going into recovery mode now and see if it works. I had a similar problem where the flash passes but was still stuck in a bootloop, I couldn't even go into recovery mode, I visited a Best Buy store with a samsung experience shop and they flashed the stock firmware using SMART but it was still stuck in a bootloop. So, I sent my phone to the samsung repair center, I think it's a motherboard problem.
Maybe your flashed the wrong kernel?
If the kernel is incorrect then your phone will be as well.

Hi guys, I've owned an S6 Edge in the past.
Due to my fondness, I purchased another one last week (Arrived today).
Damn, it's in mint condition! I purchased it knowing it wouldn't boot.
The guy had a picture of download mode stating it needed firmware/rom.
Not a problem I thought! I went through all this with my past S6 Edge.
I got the phone, got it out the box, thought hmmm... Won't boot, must be dead!
Plugged it in (First issue) I didn't get a charge screen, but a S6 Edge Powered by Android (bootloader screen)
Anyhow, I've flashed the latest stock firmware, continues to bootloader screen and sticks.
I've flashed TWRP and I can enter TWRP, flashed multiple custom roms, still stuck at the bootloader screen.
Flashed the stock firmware with re-partition and a PIT file, still stuck at the bootloader screen.
Any help? Is this phone done for or am I missing something?
This would have been my daily driver after smashing my S9, needed a non contract phone. I LOVED my old S6.
It is a G925F, not sure what firmware it had previously, haven't had a single successful boot.
Try to install Android 5 firmware on it.. And when it's booting up (SAMSUNG LOGO) Click Power+Volume down button.. When it's powered off.. Quickly, Click Power+Home button+Volume up and you will be booted to Recovery Mode.. Click wipe data, cache then reboot system.. Wait till the phone boots completely.. Then, you can flash twrp and custom roms... Tell me if it worked..

Hi mate, I've tried installing (and successfully) Android 7.0. It stays on the 'powered by android' galaxy screen.
I can get into TWRP and install custom roms successfully, just stays on the said screen again.
Also, might be worth noting, when I plugged the phone in to charge it just goes to the same screen mentioned.
If I hold Power and Vol Down while plugged in it will go to the battery and the thunderbolt, just no animation.
Also LEDs not working.
Just do it...Dont plug your phone when ur doing power+volume down thingy..Android 5 firmwares are a little bit different than marshmallow and nougats..So just flash it and you will see the profit

I could only find 5.0.2 snd 5.11 software, so I'm downloading 5.0.2.
I'll let you know how it pans out, thanks for the replies.

Also, won't I get a bootloader error while trying to flash because it is a lower version?
If you try the Odin3 flash tool?

How long are you leaving it on the bootloader screen after flashing stock? First boot can take 15-30 minutes sometimes
hey just do the following...
Hi...if your problem is still active - not solved! Here a little Note for you that maybe help you to get s6 edge running again.
First you need to start Odin 3.12.03 with Admin rights!!!
Then you could use the Firmware from my Google Drive if you want. Its the German Variant with CSC-DBT
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pDybynK6_Huu-vjM_azIjgz30IIhlEAP/view?usp=sharing
If you want to use SamFirm by your own. Keep attention that you check the "Binary Nature" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If not...its just 1,9 Gb and dont work
If yes...its over 2,3 Gb and work fine
shutdown phone with Vol- and Power (keep holding both)
then start into downl mode with Vol- and Home and Power (keep holding all together)
connect phone to usb
after flashing rom the first start could take up to 10-15 mins...not more on stock firmware
if the first start is done and your in the screen where to type your sim pin
power off the phone and unplug usb
start into download mode again
reset Odin and select the twrp.zip into ap
plug usb again
flash twrp with odin
phone restart automatically...just wait the minute
then shutdown and start into twrp recovery with Vol+ Home and Power (keep holding all together)
so good luck man
Hi
yesterday my tab s6 screen got unresponsible without anything else happened..
Then i found out that if i used the pen - the n i could turn it off from drop down menu.
I did that but then when i tried to turn it on it got stuck on that bootloop!
I can not access recovery mode - only download mode.
When i put it on charge it starts booting without showing battery percent and boots over and over until battery is drained.
In download mode i tried to flash Bootloader and firmware - but no luck ( odin proceduce succeded but the tab is still in the same bootloop )..
Still can't reach recovery menu..
Any ideas?
Recovery Mode is tricky to get to on this tablet - The timings of the button presses are difficult to nail. Assuming you weren't trying to flash anything to your tablet prior to it boot looping, I don't see any reason why you couldn't access Recovery Mode.
Reboot Tab by pressing and holding both Power (Bixby) button and volume down. Once screen turns off immediately press Power and Volume Up, let go once you see Samsung logo.

Have you done anything to your tablet prior to bootloop? Tried to flash anything, deleted anything?
Again, there's no reason you shouldn't be able to access Recovery this situation is exactly why it's there.

I opened NBA 2K Mobile and then i went away for like 20mins..
Then i opened the tab and screen was not reacting - only with pen.
I think the USB debugging is not enabled - is there any ways how to enable it without rooting?
Just tried to install a firmware through download mode - Odin shows "passed" and my tab is still in the same sh** ..:/
Hi,
Really need your help, after I updated my firmware using Odin, updated BL, AP, CP, CSC, my tab cannot boot up stuck in logo. Doing the Power + volume up leads me to different screen now.
Cannot access recovery mode also.
What must I do? Pleasssee help. Added the pic, after doing hard reset (power + vol up)
I cannot connect back to Odin also. Always setup connection failed.
Please help. Messed up big time :'(
Thank you in advance.

UAE..
"setup connection failed" is a USB error. Try a different cable, or a different port on the computer, or a totally different computer
