Hello today i made a call and bought an s6 edge in a bootloop situation.
When i first took it in my hand i tried to get into recovery mode but that wasn't possible as i took a no command screen.
Then i Tried download mode which was ok.
I downloaded the latest nougat stock rom i could find on samy and tried to flash via odin i took an error when tried to flash hidden.img
After a research on net i tried to pull off hidden.img and gave it a flash, after reboot it got me to an updating screen, then erasing then bootloop again.
Tried to flash firmware without hidden.img inside, flash was succesfull but bootloop again.
After sometime when i was letting phone hanging on screens while searching, i noticed that from no command in got into recovery but after sometime it freezes(seems the weirdest thing to me).
Now downloading repair firmware with SamFirm tool and will give it a try but i'm not sure about the .pit files
I've read here that is the best way to permanent destroy devices but i don't have much hopes for that phone tbh :/
Update.
I tried the latest repair firmware with no success.
(Getting always stuck in erasing screen)
Also can't access recovery no more,i cannot pass the no command screen.
After i noticed that i cannot also access recovery i flashed ZEROLTE_EUR_OPEN_HIDDEN240M.pit along with the repair firmware.
Again i stucked at erasing screen.
After that i found a tar file with the stock recovery
Tried to flash it with odin but i get a kernel rev check fail device 2 binary 1 guess i need a newer file .

[Q] GT-P7501: Stuck in "Downloading... Do not turn off target !!" [resolved]
Hi all,
I just bought a GT-P7501.
I was going to root it as described in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239185
I ended up with a flickering CWM recover version 4. Flashed with Odin a version 5 from overcome. Same flickering...
And then something must have gone terribly wrong...
I now cannot flash anything via Odin anymore. The tab starts and sits then with a very small percentage display in "Downloading...". Odin stays at
<ID:0/010> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/010> recovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When I boot normally I get "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." Kies does not allow me recovery mode though.
(I can (at least occasionally) boot into the stock by fiddling with the flickering CWM recovery.) Not anymore, I cannot get into recovery.. :-(
Any hint, how to resolve this?!?! I am desparate.

Using a TAB GT-P7500
Got the same problem, after trying to update to ics with KIES. It stopped in the beginning, and cant do anything else anymore.
Tried draining the tab, didnt work. Tried almost everything and it doesnt work so it seems. I will try to flash it with the recov tar. If you could tell me how you did it. Just flsh it in ODIN?
edit*
Tried flashing the recov.tar in ODIN, doesnt work it seems. Maybe it is time to throw my tab out of the window, its getting annoying
Okay, ive managed to flash the recovery tar, yet when i want to flash a stock rom it still freezes after a few seconds (attached screenpic). I can get into the overcome cwm recovery, and wipe everything, yet after that i can still not flash a rom, it will be stuck at hidden.img.
Anyone any idea on what to do next?
Two choices: copy a ROM to your storage, flash a custom recovery and boot into recovery and install the .zip from your SD card
Or, Odin to stock.

Can't reach internal storage, it will only see the tablet as an apx. Odin to stock keeps on freezing. Drained my tablet now completly, will try it again once i recharged.
Odin to stock doesnt work, not with a pit file, not without, it will still freezes at hidden.img and then do nothing again.
Well, send it to samsung for repairs, they will fix it under guarentee.
Hi,
My s6 is currently bricked. I had a custom rom but i decided to go back to stock so i re flashed the stock firmware (DPGW).I flashed cf auto root and it failed. I tried flashing prerooted kernel and it also failed. I can't access stock or twrp recovery even though i have flashed em a couple of times. I tried flashing the stock rom as well and it fails at sboot.bin so i tried to flash the the files in the stock firmware zip one by one and i aslo failed there while flashing cache.img hidden.img cm.bin modem.bin and system.img as well. The only 2 that got flashed were recovery.img andthe boot.img. Also tried with kies 3 and smart switch but the device can't been recognized by them. It's been about 2 days trying to fix up this mess. I can charge the phone when the battery drains but the battery icon doesn't appear. When i plug the phone in the charger it just takes me to the samsung logo. So that's pretty much what is with my device. Someone has any ideas on how to restore the phone PLEASE!? Don't wanna disturb anyone but i've been trying for about 2/3 days now. Someone please help, thanks.
Just woke up to see my phone on the Samsung Galaxy i9300 logo.
(I had just flashed LineageOS the previous day)
I was able to get into recovery CWM but nothing could mount, so I tried TWRP. Same thing. Couldn't sideload too (because you couldn't sideload to anywhere duh).
Tried flashing stock rom and repartitioning. Failed. And now the phone says Firmware upgrade failed etc instead of the logo.
Can't get into recovery anymore.
Can get into odin mode, but Odin doesn't recognize the phone.
SDS?
EDIT:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9300
CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: Yes (3 counts)
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
SYSTEM STATUS: Custom
You can still flash a stock ROM when you see the "upgrade failed" screen.
Did you try using different USB cables and ports to flash the stock ROM? Tried using Odin 3.07 with and without a pit file?
If you can get to download mode try another cable and install the pc drivers while the phone is connected in download mode or install kies for your operating system, stop the processes and try again.
Make sure your stock firmware is the correct one for your device/region/variant and that the md5 hash matches.
The problem you are having is caused by a borked recovery. It is very possible that the partition is corrupt, inevitably causing the death of your phone.

Odin 3.07 / 3.09 and Heimdall don't recognize the phone.
The usb cable seems fine considering I used to flash the day before and if I remove the battery the phone is still on while connected to the usb cable.
I already ordered a new phone but if I can get this one fixed that'd be great. The new phone may come with a usb cable so I will try that.
I guess I was stupid enough to flash TWRP and SuperSU on top of LineageOS.
EDIT:
Before getting to this point I was able to flash stock rom while the Firmware upgrade has failed... logo showed. However I can't flash stock rom because the phone can't mount anything, not even /system. So it fails as soon as it tries to write something.
New usb cable - couldn't flash but was detected by odin.
Deleted hidden.img from the stock rom and now it flashes!
Let's hope it works.
Update: it did not.
After flashing it booted to recovery, said something about missing sd card and a countdown to 20s. After that was over it went to the recovery menu and I got a bunch of the same errors: couldn't mount /system /cache (no such file or folder found).
I put back my sdcard but I couldn't get to recovery, also, instead of the samsung galaxy logo I got a white screen. I could still get to download mode, and get recognized by odin and heimdall, but can't flash anymore ANYTHING.
Either There's no PIT file or stuck at Get pit for mapping if I do include one.
I've tried 3 different versions of odin.
I've tried heimdall under windows and linux with root without success (Either couldn't set up interface or there's no pit file).
I'm gonna try 1.85 odin tommorow. I lost all hope at this point. ****ed up my partitions.
RIP I9300.
Idk if that may work but you may have a go to just try flashing stock rom with a box. Gsm service points shouldn't take much for it

Your emmc Nand Flash chip died. I had same problem with my n7100 last month. Had to change motherboard.
I took it to a service center. The told me the screen was dead because of the white screen. It was white cus corrupted BL or something, but definitely not the screen, considering you can go into download mode and you can clearly see it's functioning.
I laughed all the way through the front door.
Correct the screen is not the issue. The nand will be borked.

So, I was using my SM-G935F for some time when it just got stuck at bootloop(it was rooted with twrp)
So, I tried to flash the same firmware again to get it out of the bootloop... But when I flashed on the Odin, the flash somehow got failed and I am right now stuck at "An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software" I tried all of the old versions of smart switch to recover it but they always failed and I cannot get into either a bootloop or the recovery mode, just the download mode. (I was using Android 8.0 with TWRP and the firmware was Switzerland whic I downloaded from sammobile)
What I have already tried:
-Used all of the different Odin versions I had
-Tried flashing different android 8 firmwares
-Tried reflashing TWRP
-Tried to use heimdall but it doesnt recognize the device
-When I try to flash anything, it takes ages to go on and always fails.
AND I stıupidly tried to flash PIT files but none of them worked so it might even be Bricked rather then being Soft-Bricked...
Thanks for anyone caring to help me... (And since this had occured i searched all over the forums but cannot get to an end result so I hope that I am not making a mistake after reading the XDA rules )
Hi guys, I really hope any of you could help me, the thing is I have a S9+ G965F, I lost mobile signal and always had "Emergency call only" I flashed the last firmware with ODIN and it went all the process fine but the phone does not boot up, it keeps on the Samsung logo, I have tried many firmware and the process finish as well but keeps on the same screen, i have perfomed a Wipe on stock recovery with no luck, I can flash a TWRP and install a custom rom but got the same result, even I have used the pit file for repartition, any clue?
Thanks.
My feedback is for @BIOKNOX he fixed my firmware and my imei. Thanks a lot man
