Soft or hard bricked Galaxy s6 - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6

New to the forums and everything having to do with rooting and what not, but I may have hard or soft bricked my galaxy s6 yesterday. I searched for hours to find someone with my particular problem and found nothing so I was hoping someone could help me on here. I had successfully rooted my phone and tried to flash a custom rom into the device and I guess it failed and now I can't get out of Odin or download mode. I tried to do the recovery thing where you hold the power, home, vol down then up thing without success. What it does is, it'll reboot, show the Galaxy s6 splash screen for a split second and go right back into download mode. It's android 5.1.1 and I tried downgrading and I get a fail each time. Even tried 5.1.1 firmware also with no success. If anyone can help me with this, I would be so thankful for it since I had to buy an iPhone 4s today lol.

I don't have much experience with device yet, as I have only rooted 5.0.2. With so little available and only TW, I have not made the leap. Hopefully, someone will be able to help you out.
If you have upgraded to 5.1.1, there is no going back. I would think you should be able to flash 5.1.1 stock again. How does this fail? Are you using Odin 3.10.6? Use your original USB cable and put the 5.1.1 tar in the same directory as odin.

try flashing it in the BL... im not sure, but i never flashed anything in the AP

You have to use Odin 3.10.6 with 5.1.1. It looks like you are using an older version of Odin. Also, make sure you are opening Odin as an administrator.

you should try to push the correct build.prop via the adb. then all should work. and don't put OPEN in build.prop you should put spr (small letters)

you still have custom recovery? if yes, adb side load sprint rom from the sprint development section, then flash it (make sure it flashes successful) Now, your phone should be a sprint g2 again. Now try flashing stock sprint rom via lg flasher tool. It should work now.

updating through lg flasher tool, will not work. Because, it would think your lg isn't a sprint one anymore. so, first check if you have root, then flash custom recovery via this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670
then, once you have custom recovery, flash an sprint rom from sprint development section. Also, to do this you need basic ADB knowledge which isn't that difficult.

IMEI is 0 -- ODIN restore?

Sadly, it seems my IMEI has been set to zero.
I can still make calls and text, but my data is on Edge network only.
I've been doing some searching and reading (by some I mean a lot) and I guess I'm getting a little confused in it all.
Would using ODIN to reset my phone to stock fix the IMEI?
I have the IMEI on a sticker on the phone, could TMobile reset the IMEI for me?
Thanks in advance.
Swap it if you have insurance. If not search xda for fix.
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
Yes Odin will fix the Issue. Please choose correct firmware to flash via Odin.
Thanks for the response.
Trying to confirm I get the RIGHT rom for my device.
Went to sammobile.com/firmwares/
Looking at all the options for SGH-T999, do I have to made basebands to what I have now (T999UVDLJA) which is dated Oct 2012, or is that something that gets "updated" if I apply the latest rom (March 2014)?
Depends on what you had before all these problems. You must choose that same version otherwise you may hard brick the phone.
*sigh*
And I suppose there's no way to know that? I don't have a back up or anything...
Is there anyway to determine?
Thanks for your help and direction thus far!
Oh Sure. There are other ways to determine. If possible post a photo of the download screen. Otherwise type out exactly what you see when the phone is in download mode.

I'm assuming that is the info you were looking for?
Yes that's what I needed. I suggest please use UVDMD5 Version of Root66 to flash via Odin.
Excellent.
So follow directions and get files from here?: http://www.androidayos.com/2013/05/...y-bean-without-binary-flash-counter-increase/
Well. Yes. I'd direct you to the Thread here under Android Development.
Yeap. The link I posted actually takes you back to the link you provided.
Both bookmarked.
I hope to do this tonight.
If I understand this correctly, this should flash my phone back to stock with my valid IMEI
Using this Route66 I will have root on the phone and should then be able to do a CM install if I choose?
Yes and yes.
If that is your desire, then while you are in Odin, flash a custom Recovery such as TWRP or CWM as well.

... I will have to research on how to do that too then.
First concern is getting the IMEI back so that I can actually USE the phone with data -- regardless if it's CM or stock OS.
As the UVDMD5 will have correct modem, hopefully that will restore IMEI. Otherwise we may have to see what happens.
hmmm sort of seems to have worked... stuck at the "SAMSUNG" screen though.
Reading other links says I should have cleared cache before doing?
Hmmm cleared cache.
Did factory reset.
Still stuck at pulsating "SAMSUNG" logo...
Ok got into phone... ugh is stock ROM just painful. Who designs these things?!?!
Sadly, IMEI is still set at 0
this doesn't seem to have worked
Using odin will not restore your imei you have to use qpst

ARGGGHHHH Are you serious? Googling now, but this looks much more complicated compares to Odin
Can't TMobile just restore the IMEI if I take it to one of their stores?

[Q] Ditto Note 3 v4_RC2. How to get back to official status??

Hi All
I had installed Ditto Note 3 v4_RC2 later the phone started to hang and restart, so i decided to flash 4.4.2 (stock) via Odin and i was successful. But the status is being displayed as " Custom " . I have 8 months warranty left. Please guide me in getting back to official status. :crying:
I hope in the three hours since posting you've solved this issue. All it would take is a small amount of research.
IF you researched and are still unsure please get back in touch, with details

Details sir, it's all about the details.... There's more than one way to crack an egg - few people are going to waste their time speculating how you did it...
What precisely is your goal / why are you doing this?
Which KK ROM exactly, from where?
How did you root?
Which Triangle away version, from where, what exactly did you do?
--
1 free speculation:
If all you care is about the settings option, I think you might be able to just open triangle away click "allow tracker to run" and then reboot into download mode, then just hold the power button down until it reboots again.
Are you sure you didn't see this?

You must root your device for installing this rom/mod. so now your warranty is void. if anything happens to you or your phone is solely your resposibility.
We don't allow chefs/devs/themers to use the files added or modded by us in this ROM.

Odin Fails when trying to stock restore

Hello everyone,
Today I was attempting to revert back to stock on my sprint gs3 (in order to update the modem software version to nd8) using a one-click made by rwilco12. (Unfortunately, I am unable to provide the link, but it is on this website).
Essentially, it is an all-in-one .exe file which contains odin and the stock firmware combined. I followed all of the instructions, yet after I press "start", odin fails nearly 20 seconds later, with the phone (which is on download mode) saying, "Secure check fail : aboot".
As of this time, the phone is still connected to my computer and is still in download mode. Is it safe for me to attempt to restart the phone while it's still in download mode and try again? And, if not, is there a solution to the "secure check fail : aboot" problem?
Any help would be EXTREMELY appreciated! Thanks!
Yes you can unplug and restart. Try a different port, or cable.
Also, are you sure your phone isn't a triband?
If you're sure its not a triband, then you don't have to bother with one clicks. Plus nd8 is very old. You can try nj2 or oh1. Just get a clean version of odin and the .tar you need.

Thank you for your prompt response, I am now downloading the stock nd8 odin flashable tar.
As for the one click, I tried a different cable, port and computer, but all with the same results. I'm not sure if this is helpful or not, but here is a screenshot of the error the one click is giving me.

Also, what is the "triband" version you referred to earlier? Is there a way to find out while still in download mode?
Thanks again your help.
The triband is model sph-l710t. The "t" at the end makes it triband. Different phone, different .tar.
Also, try this odin.

Alright, thank you. It is definitely not a triband model, as download mode states it as "sph-l710" only. I will try that odin with the nd8 tar I just downloaded.
Thanks again for your help.
Also, on the odin that you pointed to, which of the buttons is the equivalent to the "pda" button from the older versions of odin?

I tried to flash a new rom with ODIN, downloaded on sam mobile, but it miserably failed...
I tried to fix it with kies, “Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" , it downloads something but doesnt do anything else..
What could i do to fix my phone?
I really appreciate any help you can provide. :good:
What error messages did you get in Odin?
@ Audit13
This is the error...
Looks like the phone is running a newer version of 4.4.2 than the firmware you are trying to flash. Download a version of 4.4.2 that is newer than nd3.
This is the only 4.4.2 available for my country sammobile.com
Maybe i should look, and download from another country, what do you think?
I'm experiencing the same issue as you with a N7100 tough.
I tried on a Windows VM with Odin, then on a physical Windows with Odin, then on a Linux machine with Heimdall, and it failed like you.
This is the log I have using heimdall: https://gist.github.com/wget/c898258625a076d07324385ada238572
And I was able to get the PIT file, but I don't know if the RECOVERY, SYSTEM and USERDATA partition are stil working https://gist.github.com/wget/695adc3aff04876a837b39f9fbbf53ab
My purpose is to be able to boot again to that device and recover its data.
You have tried different USB cables and USB ports?
Yes i did with various Samsung cable ,i also changed pc to try it, same error occured.
Can you flash a new recovery on it?
How do i flash a new recovery? Can you tell me what can i do with a new recovery ? (i ve read some informations about flashing recovery / custom recovery , but i dont really know how to proceed.)

Using Odin you can flash TWRP recovery and wipe everything on your phone. After that you can try to flash Stock again or a custom ROM. Maybe a CyanogenMod based. Good luck!
