Got a samsung s6 phone stuck on the startup logo, cant turn it off.
The only way i can interact with it is; volume down + power off that makes it just restart to the stuck logo.
Volume down + power button + home button - takes me to where i can download a custom firmware.
Thats pretty much it, cant do the volume up + power button for firmware reset or simply turn it off....
Haalp, tried to custome update it with a firmware to the phones version, still stuck on the startup logo..

I assume it's unremovable battery...damn i hate those phones with unremovable batteries, so have you tried volume up + power button + home button?
This should make you boot into recovery and be able to factory reset your phone.

Cant remove battery, but got the original sticker on the back with the S/N and model number. SM-G920F. As i said in OP, thats not possible, cant get that option up. Cant even power off the device.

Ok, here's another 2 options you can do.
1-hold the power button only and see if that shuts it down.
2-leave it like that till the battery discharged completely, then charge it for a few minutes then try booting into recovery using the volume up with power and home buttons.

Did you try to boot into recovery without putting it in charger?
Or plug it in the charger while holding volume up + home buttons?

Tried the volume up + home + power... No respons at all.
The only thing i can get to work is volume down + home + power - takes me to a custome download software menu with the option to custom download or simply cancel/restart device.
Or volume down + power, for a simple restart that takes me back to the frozen samsung logo screen.
I tried to download a custom software compatible with the phones model in odin software and kias... Same result, back to frozen samsung screen.

Your only solution is to reset data, but i don't know how, even if you tried adb but you don't have USB debugging enabled, so adb won't work, you're in some deep problem, try giving it to some service center he might have a software tool that can simply wipe data without troubles.
Some users say that holding the power button for 15 seconds should shut it down which didn't work for you either, so your only solution is to give it to a service center, it should cost you nothing, it's just a reset data....i guess.
This is a old phone, and its userdamage not softwarefail. Dont think the support will take that in for "fix".
Also not my phone, so i could not deliver it for service. Got it cause the owner wanted to trash it, but i could have it if i got it to work.
Found a software for my country, some version below 5.1.1 and 1 software over. But now i get fail in odin. Why do that happen?
The new error message i get when i download firmware thats for my country: [CM] SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE:5, BINARY:4

You're trying to downgrade to an older bootloader which isn't recommended and will cause problems.
What do you mean by it's user damage, did you trip knox?
Or did you try to flash a custom recovery? Or you tried to root?
If no, and you got bootloop while the phone was upgrading, then it's not your fault, and it's a software damage.
If yes, then you should fix it anyway because if you didn't then it will be useless and the s6 isn't old like you said, it's still new, if you have an s2 like mine then you can call that old :silly:

By userdamaged, i mean... Ehm, the owner probably downloaded some custome software or tried some kind of "jailbreak" i guess. I rlly dont know.
Just as i read online, this seems to be a hard brick of some kind... If i cant fix this on my own, its prolly going in the trash. Since i got it for free cause the owner wanted to trash it as he could not fix it.

Hard brick means it's a hardware issue, so if you believe it's a hardware issue then there is nothing you can do, what i meant was you should "Ask" how much would repairing it will cost, if it's just a software problem then it should cost a little, and you will be the winner at the end because you got the phone for free and you made it work....and it's an s6 phone...Something i dream of LOL, and if it's a hardware issue and will cost you a fortune then throw it in the trash or sell it as a spare parts phone or something.
Sad news then Ill try to find out if its worth it.
I have pretty much tried everything i can at home. Anyways, thanks alot for the help

Hi all, new member as i just got a samsung galaxy S2!
Ok, so i have bought a sgs2 of a friend at work. He was messing with it(trying to root it, he thinks) and did something wrong and messed it up, so i bought it of him for very cheap to have a go at fixing it. Things that are wrong with it - when you turn the phone on it just comes up with samsung Galaxy S2 gt-19100 with a yellow triangle under it, it wont go any further. I can get into the download menu, but i cant get into the menu to do a factory reset. Another thing is it will not charge, when i plug it in to the mains or a pc it just comes up with a battery and a little circle inside it, but dosnt move and dosnt charge! O and yet another thing i dont now what firmware was on it before, but i no it was O2 if thats any help. If i have left anything out that you need to no, ill be hear all night trying to get this thing going! Is it even possible for this to be fixed as i had a good look threw this website and the internet and cant find anything about this.
Thanks
1). Check under battery for exact model number
2). Download a stock ROM for the model you find
3). [optional but recommended] check the battery level and if necessary charge in another phone to make sure it's not going to die while doing the next step
4). Flash a stock ROM via Odin
5). If it doesn't boot, go to recovery and factory reset

Hi, thanks for ur reply Oinky. Where would i find a stock rom? I am completely new to this sorry, and under Model, it just says GT-19100, is the bit below anything to do with it aswell, SSN: -19100GSMH? Also at the min i cant get into recovery to do a factory reset? Again sorry for my ignorance and thanks for the reply
You can find stock ROMs http://www.samfirmware.com/ or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278, the latter having a tutorial too.
Are you sure you can't get into recovery? Your first post made me think you were getting into download mode and thinking that was recovery. Vol Up + Home + Power (from off)

I think you're still doing it wrong then, as I don't think there even exists a kernel for this phone which doesn't have recovery. Hold volume up and home, then also hold power for about five seconds.
Regarding stock ROM, just pick the latest for your region (presumably XEU if by o2 you mean UK o2).

Flashing literally any I9100 kernel, be that stock or custom would still have recovery. I suspect the device is much worse off than first realised.
Once you flash the stock firmware the phone will boot up normally again.
Any firmware will work.
any ideas how i would fix a handset that is alot worse than 1st expected??

Follow the Odin method and you will be fine. As long as you have Kies closed (This includes the 3 kies apps that run in task manager!) there will be no problems.
Hopefully you will get a bargin on a new smartphone.
Well that didnt go well, it fails with odin3 after about 5 seconds, Should i just give up?
What error messages if any do you get? Screenshots or logs would help.

Hello all,
I was using my phone, checking emails and making phone calls just fine. Then I got home and went to the computer to do some work. I noticed that my phone was showing the Galaxy S3 logo. I though weird. So I removed the battery, put it back in but still the same thing. I though maybe it was broken so I though a factory reset would be a good idea. BUT, I can't go to Recovery. When I try to go to Download mode, it opens up the interface where it says "Volume up" to go to Download mode or "Volume Down" to reboot your phone. Even when I press the Volume Up button, the phone restarts. So basically, my phone has gone full retarded and I can't do anything, no Recovery or no Download mode.
Anyone knows anything?

Yes, It doesn't work. I even tried holding Vol Up + Home + Power buttons for 10 minutes hoping the phone would go to Recovery. It doesn't even want to go to Download. It shows the Download menu but when I click the Volume Up button, it simply reboots the phone. And it was working fine before it happened.

I thought it might not work but was worth a try...It sounds like either corrupt partitions or emmc chip corrupt/damage but all the solutions I know of need you to at least get into download mode and if adb is not working as well then the only thing I can suggest is service repair.
This is the situation I would hope not to find myself in maybe somebody else as some suggestions but sorry it's not looking good.

This honestly sucks. I have been using my Galaxy S3 for two years without any problems. It was my main device for everything. Maybe because I have used it for 2 years without rest for work has caused a chip failure.
I have big problem. A few days ago I Think that i bricked my phone. Only think which I can see on the screen when i turn on my phone is a logo of LG. All time is trying to load . The home button is lighing like when i turned on it before.
It's started when I format all system by a clockworkdmod. I don't know if can I repair that.
Any ideas ?
P.S Maybe any1 know how can i go into clockworkmod without console ? I think 'bout a combinations of keys in load screen.

Explain how you did that. Also can you get in emergency mode? Pull battery out. Wait 10 seconds and put it back. Hold the volume down key and plug an USB in the phone (Usb must be connected to pc in an USB 2 port).
To enter CWM, retire battery, use volume down + QuickMemo button + Power. When vibrates, quit the Power Button. If that doesn't help, flash the stock kdz using LG Flash Tool.
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!

yep, i think that was a key step for me too: re-flashed the root thing, after trying to re-flash stock a bunch of times.
Hello,
I was recently on the Oreo Beta for the Note 8, and because somethings were not working properly I was trying to revert back to nougat. I downloading Odin 3.12.7 and the firmware from SamFirm. While flashing the files I got a message on Odin saying something along the lines of "Operation completed (could not write) success 0 failed 1". After that I am unable to get past the Samsung Galaxy Note screen, and when I power down using Volume Down and Power i get into some menu that says "Upload mode: Unknown Error" and I can't do anything from there. I can get back in to Download mode but Odin pulls up just a "all threads complete Success 0 Failed 1." Otherwise I can do volume down and Power and get back to the same Samsung Galaxy Note screen. Is there any way I can fix this?
Thanks
Try factory reset using power, volume up and Bixby button

I've tried, but the phone won't power off completely. If it's in the Samsung logo screen, I hold down Volume Down + Power and it restarts, if I immediately hold down volume down + power + bixby it goes into download mode, but it won't go into recovery if I do Volume up instead.

Wow I've had devices that wouldn't turn on but never one that wouldn't turn off. Mayby a complete battery drain will get you there.

Yeah I let it die, and the same thing I tried Odin again and it failed. And it just wont go into recovery. It can still go into download mode, but other than that it's just the Samsung logo. I might just take it into tmobile and see about getting it exchanged. Thanks though.
Hey i had the same issue I am on bqk2 just hold volume down and power for like 5mins then should go to download mode but Odin recognizes upload mode and flash the bkq2 firmware I stopped toying with it but was thinking of going back to oreo just read everything because I thought I made a paper weight I flashed the day after it was released and took me about a day (didn't have internet had to get to pc To download the original files as I reset my storage trying to downgrade

Thanks for the feedback, my internet crapped out and without my phone I was having issues getting online. But I just went to Tmobile and told them my phone woke up like that and they exchanged it. Thank you for the information though, hopefully if anyone has the issue they can try your method to get back up and running.
