phone is bricked help please - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6

i was planning on flashing a custom rom on my galaxy s6 today but at work i watched a video on how to get twrp recovery, so i downloaded it on to my phone, followed every direction and step using flashify then when i installed twrp and rebooted my phone it got stuck at the boot load screen, i cant even go to recovery mode nor download mode, everytime i hold the power button and volume rockers it just cuts off and boots back to boot loop cuts off boot loop and so on, idk what to do can someone please help

Slow down, take your time. This is not a permi-brick. Just go back, start at step 1, and try again. There is hope. There must be a way to get into recovery.

I'm having the same exact issue, I'm able to get into download mode by holding volume up, home and power buttons. I'm downloading the stock firmware now and I'm going to try to flash it with odin to see if it works.

If you two can't get into download mode for whatever reason get odin to the point it says waiting for phone or connection or whatever it says then let it boot loop a couple times with the phone plugged in (preferably start from a powered off state). This might just have been lg but for some reason I remember odin rebooting my phone into download mode if the program was at that point.
*edit*
I feel like I wasn't clear enough. You want the tar ball loaded and hit start before you plug the phone in. I could be way off but it's worth a try.

[Q] Odin3 not working

I had been using my Captivate for a while, and used Kies mini to upgrade to Froyo, and everything had been working fine until randomly the phone wouldn't boot.
It would take forever to go from the AT&T home screen, and would lag through the galaxy s intro, and then stop.
I tried to use Recovery mode, and it didn't work, so I tried to use Odin3 to flash back to stock.
Now it won't go past the Logo screen, and recovery mode doesn't work, but download mode still does. I have tried Odin one click, and Odin three click v 1.0, 1.3, and 1.7. I've used the .tar and the .pit from Breakin' Ranh's [Guide] How to Recover a Captivate to Stock 2.1 Eclair JH7
It keeps getting stuck in a boot loop after odin, no matter what I do.
Any suggestions?
Using SGH-i897
1007
first boot takes along time to build new files and delvik.. are you sure you waited long enough?
keep trying to get into recovery. try holding the buttons a little after the screen comes on.
factory wipe/ clear phone/
It keeps going to the AT&T logo screen for like 10 seconds, and then goes to the spinning wheel/battery charging screen, and then reboots.
Can't get into recovery mode through it, still.
a different .tar package.... dunno about that one..
or flash to 2.2 tar package
I have to use rom manager to get to recovery on my captivate

I was able to use a dragon rom to get it to boot, but now my phone wont give me any access to my internal sd card, and won't mount my external, so I can't download rom manager because I "have no room" Where do I go from here?
I've already tried formatting both cards, and it seems like nothing happens whenever I click on format.
you dont need rom manager....ever
Then what does he need?

I can get into download mode (only with a JIG tho) but when I go back to stock with Odin (or try to) it's just stuck in the AT & T logo screen, it doesn't go beyond that, how do I get into recovery mode, press both Volume buttons and Power button, when the AT&T screen comes release the Power button right?
Need some help please!
you might need to flash the 3 button fix but keep trying, if you get into recovery clear data and cache. but first boot always takes a long time as it has to build delvak cache and more... try flashing again, with the 3 button fix att rom.
3 button fix? to get into download mode you mean? I CAN get into download mode (with the jig) but not into recovery mode :-s
I have no idea how to flash it without being in the Stock rom, any help?
download is 2 buttons
recovery is 3 button.
some phones loose the 3 button combo to get into recovery.
in that case you need to flash the stock rom with 3 button fix.
it is for Att only so i dont know much more.
After Odin, I was in a boot loop yesterday. I plan on writing it up in a new thread to see if someone can help me understand what happened (cause I have Odined and modded two different cappys without issue) but here is how I was able to recover.
After Odin was complete and said successful, it reboots the phone.
Upon reboot I was in the ATT boot loop. After Odin, I lost both three button recovery and 2 button download (both of these worked before Odin). I don’t have a JIG so no way of getting to download mode.
I read to try the following sequence after reading it other posts.
1. Pull battery, sim, SD card and unplug the USB. Let it sit for a minute.
2. Plug in the USB cable.
3. Holding all three buttons, plug in the battery.
4. The battery charge (grey) should be seen on the phone. After the phone screen goes black twice let go of the power button.
This worked for me once, after several attempts.
Now that the phone booted back up, I did a master clear with Odin.
Upon reboot right back in to the ATT boot loop screen.
Was not having any luck with the steps above after several attempts.
Here is how I eventually recovered.
1. I opened Odin on the PC.
2. Pulled the battery and USB for a minute or two then replaced it and plugged in the USB cable.
3. After few cycles of black battery icon and spinning wheel, the batter icon turned green (like normal when you turn your phone off and plug it in). Sometimes this only took two cycles and sometimes many cycles (or a few minutes).
4. Once the battery icon was green, I hit the power button.
5. As soon as you see the ATT screen, pull the USB cable and the phone booted (if I left the USB plugged in, the phone went back to the black battery screen after the ATT screen).
6. I copied the correct Update.zip and Rom to my SD card.
From here I tried to boot into recovery via ADB.
The phone rebooted but back into the ATT boot loop.
Following the second set of steps above (2-3 times), I was finally able to get into Clockwork recovery.
From here I flashed Phoenix Unleashed.
After the flash rebooted and the phone seems to be running fine now (with the exception that I lost my 3 and 2 button combos, but that will be for a different thread).
From the Power Menu, I can get into download mode or Recovery no prob.
Not sure if this is something that will work for others but wanted to throw it out there just in case.
It never booted for me, so this is what I did
For anoyone that might find this thread, Odin 1 Click didn't work for me, so I flashed back into stock using Odin (not the 1 click version, another one), here are some links that proved to be very helpful (I ended up Flashing to Serependity 6.4):

Unknown diagnosis please help

I have looked everywhere on the internet to find out what this is with 0 luck. I have a galaxy s6 SM-G920T (zerofltetmo) with a baseband version of G920TUVS5EQA2. At first i believed this to be a hardbrick, but i did research and this is NOT a hardbrick. My phone will not turn on. the only way to get my phone to turn on is to hold the power button and volume down button for 10 seconds and then press volume down, home button, and power button all at once to boot into download mode. my phone is only capable of booting into download mode and it is extremely difficult to do so. this process is very tricky because there is no way to tell if my phone reset when i hold down the volume down and power button. my phone screen is only active in download mode. there is no boot logo or anything. i have provided as much detail as i can. please help me.:crying::crying::crying:
i should also put out there that i have tried multiple times to flash recovery or firmware with odin in download mode. after a successful flash of a firmware or recovery img, the phone would just go back to being brain dead.
(it would do nothing still)
Try booting to stock recovery. If it didnt work, try flashing custom recovery and boot it.

i have already tried to flash twrp and stock firmware but it still will only boot to download mode
on second thought this could be a hard brick. but when i look up videos on a hard bricked s6 their phone still shows the boot logo. mine shows nothing. at first i thought it could be hardware failure but it can still boot to download mode so that would not make any sense.
okay..... i have done more research and i believe it to be a hard brick. but unlike most hard bricks, i still have download mode. anything i flash with odin does not unbrick my phone. if someone has a file that could unbrick my phone then please send a link

HELP! Bricked s10 after trying to flash GSI havoc rom

Yesterday I was trying to install gsi havoc rom on my s10 g9730f and seem to have bricked it. I was following this tutorial
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Quba4DSvLc
and installed this rom:
ARM64-AB: https://sourceforge.net/projects/hav...mg.xz/download
from this page:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pr...e-development/havoc-os-3-3-gsi-archs-t4076903
I managed to flash TWRP with odin fine and booted into twrp recovery. I then performed the wipes, flashed dm no verity and then the rom. The rom booted first time (but didnt go into any set up, just went straight to the rom as though I had already set it up, which I thought was strange).
After looking around the rom and not liking it much, I shut the phone down with the intention of going back into recovery to try and flash a different rom or flash it back to stock. The phone shut down but is now stuck showing the charging circle only. It wont turn on, I cannot boot into download mode by pressing Vol down + Bixby and plugging the cable in, and I am unable to boot into recovery by pressing power, vol up and bixby. The phone seems completely dead. My computer/odin wont recognise it if I plug it in, and adb devices doesnt find it either.
All I can think of now is to leave it long enough so the battery might drain out and then I might be able to get back into download mode to flash back to stock.
Has anyone else had this problem, and is there anything I can do? Or is it totally dead? Any help would be massively appreciated!!
Download Official Rom from Sammobile and flash it via Odin from PC.
ok crisis averted, i was too quick to assume it was bricked, i just tried again and have somehow managed to boot into download mode after all and am flashing back to stock now

im not quite sure, i was trying all the different button combinations again (which i had tried many times previous), and i think it was when i was holding power and volume down for a while, that suddenly the white charging circle went off and after being completely black for a few seconds, the samsung logo appeared, at which point i managed to boot back into the device. It obviously wasnt bricked but was definitely stuck. I shut it down again and this time it shut down properly, then managed to boot into download mode and have just flashed it back to stock.
i wish it wasnt so difficult to root s10s, its frustrating

Doogee s68pro not booting up after magisk update, black screen. What can i do to fix this?

So, I recently updated magisk on my phone and as usual to update my phone restarts, but this time it didn't boot up.
I think its in bootloop because when i connect it to my pc with a usb cable it goes on and off also, i cannot access to TWRP.
Can you get to bootloader (fastboot)?
If so you can restore a stock boot image and start over, or try to boot to TWRP with fastboot boot twrp.img and restore the boot image from there and then flash the installer (rename the .apk to .zip as per the new v22+ installation instructions).
I am unable to go into the bootloader or maybe im just doing it the wrong way do you mind guiding me? :/
or maybe i don't have the drivers..
my phone just connects and disconnects, so im not so sure i can go into the bootloader and launch a comand.
Can you shutdown your phone?
i don't think, because it's always turning on and off because the usb sound is going off and on in my pc so i dont really know
You need to use a button combo to get to bootloader or recovery (since you can't boot to Android). A quick web search gives this:

Exactly like what happen to my device as well
Nope, it does not let me go into the bootloader. Not even with the button combo.
Do you have twrp installed on your phone by any chance? Also a stock boot.img?
First you need to calm down I know how frustrating seeing your device on bootloop and can't even shutdown it ...
i do not have twrp, but i can download a stock boot.img
would you like me to guide you how to fix it i don't have anything to do?
Yes, thank you.
Your device is going on bootloop right now and keep vibrating right?
it's not vibrating. but it probably is in bootloop
lol mine is vibrating while on bootloop okay enough chitchat let's start
vibration is actually good indication for the next process
prepare ADB and USB cable
Now press Power Button and VOL UP at the same time wait for vibration let go Power Button keep holding VOL up for at least 3secs then let go
it's still not vibrating
now press VOL DOWN there's 3 out of 1 chance that you actually made it to fastboot mode ...
