So I am pretty sure I messed up bad. Like really bad. So I tried rooting my sprint GS6 with the files meant for the t-mobile GS6. Now I am exhausted trying to figure out how to reverse this mess. The screen on my phone now is unresponsive. I tried factory resetting it and the screen still wont react to any of my touches. I tried to flash it with the firmware but every time I try to load the GS6's firmware in to odin3 it crashes. If you can give any help or suggestions I will be extremely grateful. Thank you.
Maybe this can help:
I still use Odin 3.10.6 - http://www.samsungodindownload.com/download/odin-download.zip
And the latest firmware build: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995306913
Odin can be finicky, you might need to try different cables and USB ports until you find a combo that works. Once your phone is detected in Download mode, that TAR file should get you back up and running.

Odin crashes or the phone crashes? What version of Odin are you using? Have you verified you have a valid download via md5 hash?

Odin3 crashes, but I have found that if I leave it alone for 5 minutes Odin3 doesnt respond but eventually comes back with the .tar file loaded. I am using 10.7 version of Odin3. I tried to flash my GS6 with the stock firmware for lollipop and now it just loads to the sprint screen when turning on and it stays there or it loads to the first screen that says Samsung Galaxy s6 and stays there until I force turn it off. Thank you for responding.

Hello all, I have a rather large problem.
I erased the entire OS in my S6 and now it only powers up to the initial boot screen. I can get into download mode, but when I try to use Odin, it fails to flash the firmware. I do get the "COM4" indication, but no success with the flash. The phone is rooted, however, I cannot even access TWRP.
Has anyone on here experienced this issue or do you have any idea on how I can correct this issue?
Thank you in advance....

please explain how Odin fails. what does it show?
try flashing the firmware twice in a row without rebooting between flashes. sometimes firmware doesn't stick after the first flash. or try Odin on a different computer.

Have you tried using a different cable?
How about trying another USB port?
Are you sure your using the right system image?
What is your model number
Who is your provider..??
This has happened to me with my laptop. Thought I tanked my phone hardcore. Was able to flash stock tar with odin, from a different computer. Not sure why my laptop doesn't work, it just doesn't keep the connection. Can't even maintain a connection to do a data transfer when everything is working. Blah!
Thanks all for responding, I will attempt it this week sometime and give you an update.
I do not remember what Odin actually says, it has been a couple weeks now since I last attempted to fix it.
Try using both Odin 3.10.6 and 3.10.7
I bought my new Sprint GS6 (SM-G920P, 5.1.1) and decided to root it to enable tethering. I used Odin3 (3.10.6) and tried to flash it with a firmware I found in one of those “how to root SM-G920P”. I am not sure now if it was the correct tar file but it was G920PVPU1AOCF. So I did, Odin passed!, the phone rebooted, got the message “…seandroid enforcing…” which is normal I believe, and when it started up, the screen did not work! (I see my home screen but it’s not swiping and cant do anything). The Volume, power, home, menu and back buttons work, but the touch screen doesn’t. Also now it does not read the internet and phone signal. Tried to flash it with one of the latest stock firmware G920PVPU2BOF7, and Odin Fails! I tried factory reset, it didn’t work. I appreciate any help with this!

That firmware is older than what you had, Android 5.02. Flashing older firmware over newer causes issues.
Here are all the latest files that you will need and instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...uide-links-files-update-root-restore-t3366862
Hi,
I recently got a SM-T210 from a friend to repair. The description given was that their kids factory reset the unit and won't boot anymore. First the tablet had the death sleep issue which is a easy fix. But after that the tablet simply continues to show the "Samsung GALAXY TAB3" boot screen and never finishes booting.
As I'm known with Odin I simply downloaded the original firmware from sammobile for this tablet and took the firmware version for the Netherlands as that's where I live. There are 2 4.4.2 versions available and downloaded them both. When using Odin 3.09 and higher I simply cannot install the firmware, but on Odin 3.07 it can. Although it installs the tablet still fails to boot properly and hangs at the tab logo as described earlier.
With Odin 3.09 or higher I'm not even able to install the firmware as it says that there is no PIT file and NAND flash write fails. I've found 2 PIT files for this tablet on the forums and even with the use of these PIT files it still errors with the same issue and installation seems impossible with these versions of Odin.
I've also tried installing TWRP recovery but that won't boot either. When booting the tablet with volume key up it shows the Andriod icon with the spinnng "intestines" and alot of red error messages show not able to find /system and /data. My guess is that this is pretty bad, but that is what I want to fix with the stock firmwares and/or the PIT files (LT02.pit and T210(R).pit).
I'm currently out of ideas to revive this tablet and almost start thinking that it's completely dead, but before throwing it in the garbage bin I'm wondering if anybody here is able to help me further with this issue.
If you think you miss critical information, let me know so I can supply it!
Any help is greatly appreciated and thanked for!

Nothing to loose so i should give it one more try with Kies. I remember that years ago i had a problem with a samsung phone and even Odin wasn't helping me. I did it with Kies then which fixed it. No garantuees though.

Thanks, I've tried it with Kies but it won't even recognize the tablet. When I put it in Download mode and connect it to my computer the Kies welcome screen keeps switching every 2 seconds to the connecting screen, back to the welcome screen and keeps on going like that.
Any ideas left?

Except for correct drivers etc etc not really, no.
I am facing same problem.
My Tab 3 (Sm-T210) has gone too.
Now I can't restore it.
I have downloaded Stock ROM from sammobile.org,
but I can't extract this properly.
It always says that "files are corrupted".
I am also going to be hopeless as like as you.
So my phone was acting up - random reboots, keystroke delays, apps closing, etc. after latest 5.1.1 OTA update...
Then I really f***'d **** up by using Odin to try to flash 4.4.4 on my phone with reactivation lock still on - it failed. Now I get the following display when I turn it on
"firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please selected recovery mode in Kies & try again." Kies also does not recognize the S/N on my SM-N910A.
USB debugging was activated. I'm thinking that the reactivation lock is blocking the image to load and/or I flashed the wrong tar.md5 file, even though I tried 2 different ones. Sammobile incidentally does not have the ATT variant firmware files available, so I went to random websites with links to successful roots.
I can't boot the phone nor flash any firmware through Odin apparently, so while I can enter "download mode" and Odin does recognize the device, it "fails" instantly. My only options are boot to this error screen or enter download mode. Obviously, I can't "uncheck" the reactivation lock through the GUI, as it doesn't load.
Is there another way to at least get the phone running again? Any advice? Do I have a new paperweight?
Thanks,
J

It worked just flashing the proper 5.1.1 AP file only! Thanks, norbarb!
The cable was extremely finicky, not sure if it was a USB driver issue or what, but I literally had to limit all body movements to not disturb the transfer. A few times it failed because of intermittent signal loss.

I can't post the URL, but I got the right firmware from " androidromupdate "
I have the same problem with my note 4. After flashing firmware 5.1.1 it resulted in a bootloop for 30 min getting very hot.
So I used factory settings / clear cash in the recovery menu that got me back to the first welcome chose language screen. But after setting up wifi etc. it still wants to know the Samsung account login wich doesn't seem to work. Resulting again in an frp lockup. Is there any way to get rid of this frp lock? Perhaps rooting the device or installing a custom firmware / rom?
Or even going back to stock rom 4?

theres only a few things that you actually can do. a: fresh download of firmware to reflash b: try a different cable (yes, i know youre not getting a failure message, just do it anyways) c: different computer d: new download of Odin. Not much else the average layperson can do without very specific tools. I had something similar with my desktop and did it on my laptop and it worked just fine. I didnt investigate any further as to why because, well... lazy but i used the came cable on both computers, so my issue wasnt the cable. Anyways, those are really your only options. Good luck! Oh, where did you get your firmware from? Some people also are getting janky AF stuff from weird places. sammobile.com/firmwares is pretty much the only place i trust. Samfirm is an awesome tool for downloadinf the firmware (literally) 5x faster than from sammobile directly.
