Bricked S6 edge - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, battery in my S6 edge died (I think it's a battery problem, my phone is not charging. The charging animation comes for a few seconds and starts again, it's a loop)..
I thought it was a custom rom problem, so I decided to reinstall my rom.
By mistake, I deleted everything from my phone, including os, my phone already stucks on S6 edge logo.
PC is not recognizing my phone so I can do nothing. Only I have access to TWRP and download mode.
Any solutions what I can do? I was looking for any solutions for a few days, without results.

[Q] samsung s3 boot loop, will not connect to PC

Hello People
Im in need of your help please!
The other night my battery went dead on my Samsung galaxy S3, after charging it fully, i tried to turn in on. However it was stuck in boot loop
So far i have tried everything, Ive tried
factory reset
clearing cache
putting it in download mode
taking the power button out
I downloaded kies and Odin to try and put the new firmware on, however my phone will only charge through the USB port and keeps saying windows does not reconigse the device as it is malfunctioned. I have installed all the drivers, tried computer at work, tried a different lead, but nothing!
Can anyone help me, are you able to put the firmware on through SD card as there is no way of me getting into the phone!
Thanks in advance!

So rest in piece my p9000, i can nothing, i cant do anything from my pc because its only starting for like 5 seconds, i cant shut it down because of that and i cant get in factory mode
i am so pissed right now
just wanted to install the new update, everything worked fine like all the times before that and now my phone is ready for the trashcan.
Is there any way to reset the software without getting in factory mode?

the phone turns on and off in a cycle of 5 seconds, so that wont work
and i cant stop that cycle.
even if battery is 0% (i even press power button many times so really its drained out). If i recharge it, the cycle starts again without me doing anything. The Power button is not broken or something. it all began after i started new ota update and the phone rebooted like "mkitty" has the same problem it seems
Same for me, I have no idea how to restart my phone. And i dont want to loose all data I have on it.
have you tried to hold the volume up and power at the same time during the restart process to try and force recovery?

Hello,
Yes . I have tried that.
I have a list of options that come up on the screen.
I have tried them apart from the wipe data/factory reset.
But it is still the same result.
Thank you for help.
Any more ideas?

It said something about wifi and audio update. I followed the instructions as per a previous update (which worked OK). I never took notice of any version numbers etc.

Its actually a great phone. Do you have twrp installed and can you get access to it? You could always boot into twrp transfer over the ROM and install it from there. If you have installed the vcom drivers then when the USB not recognized alert pops up. Go to settings and device manager. Right click the unknown device and click let me pick driver. You should be able to install it from there
The only thing I can suggest is to take the back panel of and unplug the battery. There videos on how to do this if you search YouTube or the forum. Effectively you perform a hard reset of the phone.
If and when you do get it working just twrp installed and do a backup of the whole phone working before performing any future upgrades or Rom changes. Its just better safe then sorry.
thenk you very much for that
The problem is that when I connect the phone on the off to the pc starts again the cycling through the elephone logo so the pc sees the phone for a few seconds in which does not recognises it and then is like the phone goes off until the next cycle so no time to go to device manager and install manually. but thank you for the comment.
removing the battery will void the warranty. I had the phone only since may.
It's unlikely it really matters. Your phone seller not going to take it back or fix it for free just because it's bootlopping. Well they may so just ask them. If you can't get it into recovery then a battery disconnect or contact your seller are your options
thank you

I can get it into recovery mode but I haven't got any software install in the sd card to do a recovery that is why I thought my only option was the sp flashing tool and the room which I have

Well in that case all you need is a stock rom and yes just flash them with sp tools and it should start booting again. The fact you can get to recovery is a good sign.

Samsung Note Edge (SM-N915G) Bootlooping issue. Need help recovering

Hi everyone.*
I'll give you a background on what has happened and would be appreciated you guys could offer some assistance or steer me to the right direction.
I have a Samsung Note Edge (SM-N915G) that suddently restarted randomly while it was sitting on my desk. The phone is not rooted and USB debugging was not switched on prior to crashing if I recall correctly.
The phone is now bootlooping or freezes at the optus screen. Sometimes its barely gets on the home screen before restarting again.
I have tried the below but with no success.
1. Replacing brand new batteries.
2. Changing the firmware through ODIN v3.13.1 (tried both old and current firmwares). It passes through ODIN but still the same problem.
3. Tried to recover data via programs like Dr. fone to recover the data but it keeps failing.
Basically I want to recover the data thats on the phone is my main concern, then recover the phone. Last option put it back to factory state.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi , probably you was using fast charging option , and that reduces battery life.
So you said that you replaced new battery , you must be sure that is exactly like yours , because many store has a copy of batteries silimar like Original.
Next what you can try is to Wipe Cache Partition from recovery and if you are able to use your phone , go fast to the Settings and disable Fast Cable Charging.
See how to do that , I hope you fix this issue . : ) Good luck

Non of those worked as I have also tried them all before.
I'm trying to avoid factory reset as like I mentioned before
Could possibly be hardware issue.
If it is a power issue, then why am I able to still power up into download mode without turning off...

Galaxy s6 active SM-G890a constant boot loop, cannot access recovery mode.

The phone has successfully been flashed with a few different firmwares since the bootloop started occurring. the phone will only power on when the cable is plugged in but it will show the samsung screen and then start the "Installing system update" screen and then instantly go to "No command" and then boot back to the samsung screen to repeat the process. download mode is accessible but i cant get into recovery mode to reset the cache or perform a factory wipe.
The cable is fine and the usb port on the phone let me flash software via odin so i don't understand why it only powers on with a cable plugged in.
Could this be a battery issue? i'm very new to this website and the software end of phone repair stuff so any help is greatly appreciated!
i'm currently running 7.0 firmware G890AUCS7DRF2 from boxwares but the bootloop has been occurring since before i even tried to flash anything.
Also, all of my drivers seem to be up to date so i don't think that's posing any issues.
Thanks so much in advance!
Hi , try to clean the charging port of your phone with 100% alcohol and with clean toothbrush also you can use needle to clean the usb port contact.
Another what you can do is to put your phone into the charger for abot 30 minutes and see if your phone is become to hot on the back side what can be sign of bad charging port or probably dead battery .

Bricked Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F)

Hi. I have a problem with a bricked Samsung Galaxy S7, SM-G930F (the Exynos one). A bought it a few years ago and let someone root it to play around with it. I got it back recently and it didn't turn on. I had the battery replaced which allowed me to turn it on, to a "no command" message. I got it into recovery mode. I chose "factory reset" to try to bring it back to a working state. That didn't help, so I booted into download mode and was able to flash the latest firmware; I made sure it was the correct one for this model. It would reboot to a screen with the Android logo and a message of "erasing" with rotating arrows on the Android that stopped after a few seconds. If I left it plugged in, it would stay like that indefinitely. If I unplugged it it would turn off within a few seconds. For a while I could still get it to come up in download mode, but now it does nothing no matter which buttons I press. No lights come on when I plug it into a USB charger, although a wireless charger seems to detect it as the charger's red LED comes on. Following advice on this forum for a bricked S8, I left it not charging for 24 hours to see if it would drain the battery completely, letting me try again. That didn't work; no matter how long I charge it or what buttons I press, nor whether it's plugged into the charger or computer or not, nothing happens. There's no way to tell if it is charging. I have evidence that it works since I was able to flash the firmware and that process went smoothly, but I can't get it back to that mode. Any ideas? Thanks.
Re-flash Stock ROM.

Thanks for your reply. I flashed the stock firmware before the phone became unresponsive. Now I can't flash anything since none of the buttons have any effect. and the phone is not recognized by my PC.
@Doctor_Perceptron
If you can't access phone by means of Odin then with 99.9% certainty phone's boot-loader is broken. Put phone into e-waste.
If it was a Qualcomm device I'd be able to help you through EDL flashing. Since it's not I do believe your not able to flash it at this point as already said by the user above my reply
