Samsung s6 edge (g925f) stuck at initialisation when flashing firmware - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I was given a softbricked s6 edge from work to play with. Needs a bit of detective work as I have no idea about history of phone, only face values. Heres what i know;
boots in to odin mode
does not boot rom
does not boot recovery
when i try to flash stock roms through odin it gets stuck at initialisation
warranty void/binary samsung: official/sys status: official
What i want to know is what you would recommend trying in order to get the phone to boot stock rom, given the information i have. for example is there any way to narrow down or diagnose the issue? Anything goes and it doesn't matter if i hard brick the thing its just a mini project.
I will try methods and post results, hopefully they will help others in similar situations

Chances are OEM Unlock and USB debugging was not enabled in developer options if this was a work phone.
Try to flash a stock firmware, I would start with a MM firmware first. What model of s6 edge is it? G925F/T/I/V/A? It will show you in download mode.

Try an updated firmware then. Maybe try a 7.0 firmware. When you flash it post the Odin log here.

So its possible that the firmware version would be preventing it from progressing past initialisation

Is it also possible the carrier version could be the reason?

None of them would be the reason. It's usually because USB debugging is disabled in developer options or USB port/cable
Download the firmware and insert it to odin and we will take it from there. Make sure you use the csc file and not home_csc.
Try with Odin v3.10.7 first.

Does the pc recognise it when it's plugged in? Try a different cable and port. Then flash the files separate. Use csc file not home_csc

[Q] My new S2. Root attempt gone wrong. (Slight panic :P) SOLVED. TY.

I did the mistake of attempting to install this pre rooted kernel: STOCKPLUS-GT-I9100-XXLPB-KERNEL-ROOTED through Odin.¨
I couldn't find a version that matched my kernel gingerbread.XXKL5 so I thought it would be okay to just install any kernel with the same android 2.3.6 version.
All I wanted was to root my phone, now my phone won't even boot. I think it's stuck on a bootloop ? It goes to the samsung warning triangle screen and stays there.
My phone doesn't seem to be able to enter recovery mode. However, it can enter download mode ..
I'm finding this whole rooting business slightly difficult. I'm in over my head. Please, assist me.
Kind regards,
Nate.
* UPDATE: Managed to reset my phone using the steps detailed by Ctomgee (my hero) I thought my phone was done for. Again, thanks everyone for the invaluable assistance you guys have provided! I even got back all my apps and data
ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: Back from the dead.
Now I'm kind of scared to try but if anyone could explain exactly how to root the i9100G version I'd be much obliged ..

Surely STOCKPLUS-GT-I9100-XXLPB-KERNEL would be 4.0.3. rather than 2.3.6?
If you're a noob, why ignore all the stickies and FAQ and jump straight for some random kernel?
I was reading a lot of posts via xda dev forum and someone linked to that kernel and I dunno what I was thinking. Apparently I wasn't thinking at all. SORRY. Now how do I fix this? =(

Reading it right now, thanks, however, the download link for the kernel file they're advising you to d/l seem to have expired? Which kernel should I use?

Please give me a link to the kernel file I should use to restore my phone =)
Before you make things worse, are you even sure you have an I9100? A quick search for XXKL5 revealed I9100G as more likely.
Stop waiting to be spoon fed and do some searching and reading.

You can try KL3 from Chainfire's CF-Root thread. Should work. Or just use Siyah or Speedmod, and be done with it.
oinkylicious is right... I didn't even think of that.

Yup. There are MANY different SII's... Most have completely different model numbers. GT-I9100 and GT-I9100G are similar, but have different chipsets, so are not compatible for firmwares. Take very good care you only flash things meant for the I9100G.

That is forced download mode. Means you have to flash something to get it working again.
As long as you can get to download mode, it's not hopeless.
Try this.
Thanks! Just completet step 2. Repartition with Odin successfully!
Waiting 30 mins due to d/l limit on mirror site but then I will download firmware from http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ and proceed with step 3. Should I just get the European one?

I experienced it last weekend. Bricked!
Having the same issue mistaken I9100G for I9100 and flashed Kernel based on I9100. Initially hanged at the Samsung logo with Yellow Triangle when reboot the phone it shows Phone---Exclamation----PC.
Searched and tried almost everything except sending to MobileTech.
After days of trying I resend it back to Samsung Service Centre claiming got the Logo after updating new FW from Kies.
With no questions asked from Service Centre, they restored my phone the next day.
I would advice you to send it back to service centre if you run outta options.

I actually feel slightly cheated since the product advertised is clearly the S2 with dual core see
http://www.bazula.se/Samsung-Galaxy/Samsung-Galaxy---mobiler/Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-i9100.htm
Read " Dual Core Processor på 1,2 Ghz "
According to my knowledge, the i9100G is actually limited to single core and is clocked at 1Ghz ?

Thanks, i've read that guide earlier and tried a few steps with no luck.
Is this what i should do?
"WARNING : FLASHING A BOOTLOADER IS DANGEROUS. FLASH WITH EXTREME CAUTION.
8) Download the Bootloader. Flash it as PDA or Bootloader in ODIN. Without ticking Re-Partitioning
9) Flash the Kernel, as in step 5
10) Flash the recovery package, like in steps 1-4 And that will fix any of your issues "

no dont mess with that 'Bootloader' one ma8, there is one on how to use pit file look into that
look for this in that thread
Recovering a soft bricked phone
1) Grab the Recovery Package, and you'll see a bunch of .tar files. Take a look at the names. You'll see CODE, MODEM, CSC and .PIT. Put each one in its place.
2) Turn off your phone. Enter Download mode by presing Volume Down + Home + Power button.
3) Plug in your phone. It will show you, in a yellow box in ODIN, ID:COMx (x being the number displayed, sometimes displays 7, sometimes displays 9)
Now here, take a breath
First try flashing WITHOUT the .PIT and re-partition. And only if it DOESN'T WORK OR FIX then you flash with the .PIT and Re-Partition ticked.
4) Once ready and done all your prayers, press Start. Wait patiently. It usually takes 5 minutes to flash.
Have you done everything correctly until now? Then...
Congratulations on recovering your phone!

[Q] No partition table! ODIN MODE FAIL!

Hi,
About 2 days ago, i've this problem... there is no samsung assistance here! What can I do !????????????????
Arrived at home, put the phone on the charger and went to sleep! When I wake up!? Boot logo!!!
There is no way to enter to recovery mode, only download mode!!!
The status printed when I go into the download mode is a bit strange:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME:
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
Why is there no product name and why is the system status "custom"? I have not rooted or flashed it yet.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated

[Q] Rooting the Galaxy S4 + Side Questions [WIP - Soft-Bricked]

I'm interested in rooting my new Galaxy S4 but I also would like the original stock rom in case if I ever need to go back to it. Would anyone by any chance have the original stock ROM?
Model: SCH-I545
Android Version: 4.2.2
*If any other details are needed, let me know.
This is a Verizon phone fyi.
Also, could someone please link me to a tutorial/guide for rooting the S4 and some other links that have ROMs that are a "must-get".
Thanks,
Hydra
Read the development forums. The stock image is ready enough to find, as are step by step root instructions. As to your last question, that is the type of thing that gets a thread locked. Read the dev forums, pick a few roms that pique your interest, and give them a test drive.

I'm new here so tried my best to find the correct section, and did search for guides.
I'm currently using this guide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2290798 , but upon flashing the prerelease kernal, it failed.
http://i.imgur.com/MjbRPrK.png
Also, in case of anything, how can I leave ODIN mode on the phone? Do I just power it off and reboot?
CM10.1 has been treating me pretty well. Haven't had any crashes or anything and runs fast and stable.
The only issue I noticed is you can't get a GPS lock while Network & Wireless location is on. Once you disable it GPS locks right in.

The tar file is 1.8 Gbs, is this the only method? I have horrible download speed and going to take 3 hours to download it.
Btw, can someone educate me on what just happened? Did I brick my phone? Will I lose any data?

Nope, I'm working on trying Samsung Kies, maybe that will do it but I tried to get into recovery mode thru the phone but takes me to that same window.
I'm also downloading the stock firmware.
Did you try just flashing the stock kernel back using Odin? Everything you've done is listed in this thread, right? Technically if you tried to flash the pre release kernel and it failed nothing should have happened.

I don't know if it will work but it's worth trying. The stock Odin should definitely fix your problem though. Yes it's in the thread.

Is what I get upon flashing kernel to the stock kernel. I am downloading the stock ROM as I type this. 1 Hour left to download it. Btw, does it matter what type of ROM I download?
Is there a difference from, http://www.rwilco12.com/downloads.p...Galaxy S4 (Verizon) (SCH-I545)/Stock ROMs/TAR and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301259 ?
I'm guessing it's the No Wipe feature?
And what's the worst case scenario with rooting the phone? Anything permanent? If this stock ROM fixes the current problem, then I'll attempt to root once more.

What is the PIT partition? Is that my internal storage?
Are you using the factory charging cable to connect to the computer? I don't know why everything keeps failing.... Odin has never failed for me. Do you have another computer you can try this on? Stock charging cable, different usb port or another computer are the things I would try next. I don't know anything about pit files.

Tried two types of cables, a generic one and factory/original one. I tried two different computers with 2 different OS. Tried 3 different ports per computer.
Don't know what else I can do.
Since you're able to boot into Odin mode I think this can be fixed but it may require a pit file. Since I know nothing about pit files or why Odin kept failing for you I'm going to let someone else try and help you. I do not think your phone is beyond hope at this point. Good luck.... I hope someone chimes in with the help you need.

[Q] Stock Samsung SGH-i857 (Double Time)

Hello, I hope someone can help me out here, Samsung's online help sure wasn't a big help. Trying to get my hands on the stock image for the SGH-i857 a got a little over zealous trying to clear out some of the stock APKs and was hoping to roll it back to stock.
If you have a windows machine try downloading Samsung Kies with your DoubleTime connected. Try to update the firmware/software and it should revert it back to stock.
I do have an Odin flashable I can give you if that doesn't work, but I would compress it with 7zip in order to put it on the Forum.

I did try the kids method with no luck, I would love to try the Odin flash for the phone. If you don't feel like uploading it to the forums I'd be happpy to PM you my gmail.
Here is the link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/p3dj426vdav4nsp/I857UCKI1-I857UCKI1-I857UCKI1-HOME.tar.md5
I had to put it on Dropbox because it was so big.
It is recommend that you use Odin v1.85, this however is not tested. I might be testing it soon though.
To put a DoubleTime into download mode you need to hold the volume up and powerb button at the same time from a completely off state.
I wish you luck.
Has anyone found a way for fully flashing the double time to stock? I accidentally flashed an update.zip file from another phone and now wifi and bluetooth are not working. Hopes fast answers-

Man, i don't if you're up to date, but the double time has a firmware problem which conflicts with download mode and it's almost impossible to flash it. That's why my question, have you been able to flash? Please, i need help.
PD: i have the stock firmware and have used almost all compatible odin versions with this device without success.

They don't sell the Doubletime around here, so wouldn't have a way to be up to date with it. Why don't you describe what's happening via Odin when trying to flash instead of just saying it didn't work, which is not very helpful.

I didn't realize that the Doubletime was an ATT phone. Have never seen one or had one brought by my shop. *shrug* Is yours ATT branded or GoPhone? It's possible the firmwares aren't compatible between the different versions... Or that being of that vintage Samsung, maybe the program Heimdall might have more luck a la the Samsung Galaxy S 4g from T-Mobile.
Is the version you are trying to install as newer or newer than the current firmware found on the phone?
Tried different cords?
Different ports on the PC?
Does it show up once or twice in the COM boxes of Odin?
Are you running Odin as admin?
Edit: Found other posts on other forums where it gets stuck at the same step, so guess it's a thing. Found in both Chinese and Spanish phone forums.

-Odin always opens with admi rights.
-Yes, i've tried all ports on my pc.
-It's the same firmware.
-It shows just once in COM BOX.
Can you help?
Doesn't seem like there is a readily available solution, as your issue seems to be shared by others without any posted fix I could find here, or in the other phone forums. Sorry. Like I said earlier, you could try the Heimdall tool, but other than that, haven't the slightest. Older Samsungs suck because of issues like this - limited Odin support. Have you tried Kies too?
