Already did that few times .
know this stuff, it's not my first time doing something like that .
but problem is that even flashing it with PIT file, it still goes to "android optimization" boot loop
that's why i need all 4 flash files , maybe that will help me?

have a look an that website. search for recovery firmware for your phone. it should give you the recovery 4 file firmware

http://d-h.st/mzeV
only found this , but i can't download it :|
Can anyone help me with downloading that file?
don't know what's wrong with dev-host , but can't download it .. tried 3-4 different pc/mobile and networks, with no luck

Finally fixed problem.
1)So to boot device you need custom kernel like Aroma for 925P
2) to get out of continuous restarts because of samsung security, you need to instal custom recovery TWRP and then from recovery, mount system and from apps delete every folder with Knox in name and also samsung dm folders.
That's how i got my device back in working condition. i can't remember exact folder names, but keep digging and delete everything related to knox and dm
i've even got my imei number back, so seems like efs wasn't damaged "too much" and only samsung security apps messed them up or something like that.
Anyway my phone is working now , so if you will be in same situation you can use this as tutorial
And no Z3x and similar boxes were not able to fix this, two local guys tried with z3x and similar tools with no success

I know but i think you can solve your problem with ADB, if you can get in "fasboot" mode you can boot a recovery image.
Instead of using the boot. Img from your tab u can boot it using New boot/recovery image.
Instead of selecting digging robot, select usb.
See if your tab is recognized by typing fastboot device.... It should show your serial..
If not install fastboot drivers....

Download PIT file and in odin choose PIT and flash it
just tried that with no success, looks like my partions are gone 'caue even when i try wiping data i get errors and formatting fails and stuf

*URGENT* Did I hard-brick my phone? Or are there any hope?

Hello guys,
yesterday i tried to install a rom, i accidentally formatted everything (including internal storage) and when i tried to reboot; it didn't. I just tried to install a stock rom with SM-G925F BUT not corresponding country of mine (on kies3 mine has AFG in paranthesis .wtf. ?), then i downloaded firmware from sammobile which has name;
G925FXXU2BOGB_G925FOJV2BOG8_G925FXXU2BOGE_HOME.tar
I kept flashing this rom and twrp recovery to reach into adb mode to flash any rom to just save my ass from losing efs/imei even if i did. But it doesnt.
To tell the problem in a way more understandable way;
The device cant boot itself.
I cant reach it from mtp or adb.
I can only get in download mode. whatever i do flash doesnt work.
it also says that cant mount efs (this part is im scared of.)
EDIT: I dont have any backup of efs.
The phone was 5.1.1 also tried to downgrade.
also tried flashing g925f pit file
EDIT2: Bought otg and flashed another rom but still the same issue... Please help me guys...
EDIT3: The Required download links will be on the top of the OP
Thanks for answers!
Did you try to flash stock firmware with Odin ?

yes I did, I also tried different kinds of roms for g925f to just make sure. I also fetched the rom that smartswitch wanted to flash; which means I have already tried all the methods from the choices of a noob like me ( if i get to this point this means im noob ) will ever know.
I will appreciate a help to unbrick my phone so i can enjoy my beer with him

Hi
i had a big problem with anability to mount any partitions through the flashed TWRP recovery i had on the S6 edge, lucky me i had a full backup including the EFS partition, and could either boot into download mode or TWRP, but as you unable to flash anything properly.
Odin, flash multiple roms...
Samsung Smart Switch and kies, emergency recovery providing the model + serial number failed
To top it all, i had reactivation locked enabled....
Now for the EFS, if you are able to get TWRP installed and running from it mount a USB OTG and backup the EFS partition
Here are links for Kernel by Alex-V
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347765201
TWRP from Team Win
https://dl.twrp.me/zeroflte/
You would need to root after that, but thats not your problem at the moment, and for me the kernel is needed or else i will stay stuck and can only go into downoad mode
When almost everything for me was at the point i had hard bricked my phone i fixed it with Odin in the end
Firmware SM-G925F / G925FXXU2COH2
http://samsung-firmware.org/download/Galaxy S6 edge/31bd/XEU/G925FXXU2COH2/G925FOXA2COH2/
At first this also did not work, but i kept looking and was thinking if it cant mount anything, partitions might and probably were corrupted
PIT files that can be used, normal and ones with different HIDDEN sizes
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...925-pit-files-multi-thread-download-t3171636/
For me the first standard one failed at the hidden.img everytime until i used the last one which was
ZEROLTE_EUR_OPEN_HIDDEN300M.pit
Flashed completed all the way and rebooted on its way to the android normal post flash install process
During the process it first complained about DATA partition being corrupted and needing to flush it, then rebbotted to complain about internal storage needing to also be flushed.
On the final reboot, it went all the way in to the normal setup, accounts etc.
At this point i was again stock and 100% fixed minus the EFS partition
At this point rebboted into download mode, flashed TWRP
Remember to copy the modded Alex-V kernel and the super-su zip files if you want to avoid sweating some more!!
I plugged my USB OTG with my full TWRP nandroid backup and restored it all, EFS included, at this point the state of the S6 was again 100% operational
Hope this helps you and others.
PS. Verify before flashing anything that those can be used on your phone or if not find the equivalent files you need to do so.
The culprit that caused the problem to start with was stickmount app by chainfire who makes Super-SU!!
What happened is i instaled it, then it told me it needed to copy some extra files, at that point during the copy, the S6 rebooted and was stuck in an endless bootloop
That happened with the abobe firmware linked above, using that kernel and that version of TWRP flashed on the phone with Super-SU 2.46 installed
Even going with Aroma Explorer and deleting everything i could find on the phone related to stickmount did not fix the problem

will try this mate if it works for me too, we should open a new post or update this one to inform people
Update: Nothing worked until now. Does flashing a rom from an usb-otg or internal storage differ? Also I can't connect to computer via MTP or ADB... Need serious help guys.
Guys i have found why the phone is like this...
1) efs partition is deleted
2) emmc files are deleted
if anyone knows how to fix emmc please write here efs is easy to deal with....

it doesnt flash because eMMC files "mmcblk0" are wiped.. Maybe a jtag issue. Is it possible to repair it without jtag?
If adb cannot detect it..i guess jtag is the only hope

This is a soft boot due to the fact you still have the ability to access recovery and such what i would suggest you do is get factory files and restore phone back to stock and start over this should fix your problem. If you look around XDA you will find the files you will need ODIN being the main tool you will use to flash your phone.

You have flashed a stock firmware with stock bootloader etc. using odin and still stuck in a soft brick ? remember to wipe the phone a rule of thumb i use is to wipe the phone 3 times before i flash and 3 times after i flash. during the first boot up it may take a little time to boot as it must rebuild the cache. I dont think it is a motherboard issue i think you may have just flashed a wrong file that needs to be wiped out before continuing on. i have had this problem in the past with a galaxy s2 when i was developing custom roms for it. it took me a couple of wipes and factory firmware reflashes but i eventually got the phone back in working order. look here for the factory files you will need to re flash your phone with odin ----> https://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-G925I/ also make sure you are using the latest version of ODIN you will to put your phone in download mode instead of recovery
Hi, could you fix it ?? I am facing the same issue.

Well, the only problem I could think of is wrong Rom which causes a boot loop. However please do install the stock ROM from doing a permanent damage to your phone. And due time another developer will create another ROM for the phone.
ALL SAMSUNG STOCK ROMS CAN BE FOUND ON THIS WEBSITE:
