not sure where to ask for this but, been looking for stock firmware or whatever i would need to flash in odin to get my phone back in working order. its a600u ive lost track of anything else to identify the phone so if anyone comes across this and can help id appreciate it. and i may need to create my own twrp for my phone in order to get it working again, if anyone could point me in the right direction there.
so for reference, can get to download mode cant get to twrp that i ran in odin which i downloaded from here

[EDIT] Was able to get twrp running, needed sprint variant not international, now just getting a bootable system.
[EDIT] so as of now, i have twrp installed, but no rom i install will boot. Im just hung at the galaxy a6 powered by android screen. do i just have a paperweight? cause im totally cool with that, just need answers.
So you don't have any ROM installed right now? You can download stock ROM for your phone from Sammobile. Then just flash it with odin. That should work.

Hey guys i really need some help. I tried to install clockworkmod on my T-mobile samsung galaxy s (sgh-t959v) and i guess i bricked it. All that comes out on the screen is a phone and a computer. can someone pls tell me what to do to fix this and install the right way.
Thank you in advance
Fairly new to all this myself and don't have experience with T-Mobile but if you go here you should be able to get a Firmware for your phone: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=SGH-T959V&r=5#regiona
You should be able to download a stock firmware, odin & everything else you need to flash your stock firmware. From this site.
Perhaps wait and see other responses though as there maybe a way to fix without flashing a stock firmware. Also getting some info from someone with your phone on T-Mobile may be better.

Just confirming that what scubadude said above. Flash new firmware, it is a soft-brick and therefore recoverable. Something that needs to be added however is that you will need to make a login in-order to access the direct link. If the link still doesn't work after that then click firmware and follow on from there..
Hai there, sorry for asking this nooble question but my friends phone seems broken.
My friends got a rooted SGS which has/had TeamHacksungs CM9 on it, which was working as a charm.. Then somehow last night when he pulled out the phone out of his pocket it was bootlooping, he took it to me and I noticed i coulnd get into CWM Recovery. However I am able to get into "Download-mode" Could anyone point out to me how exactly I flash a recovery image to this phone and what files should be used. I did look around the fora myself but only came across some very old posts which I doubt are compatible with a phone that was already rooted, and was already running the latest versions of CWM and Android [4.3]
I already tried to flash a speedmod kernel that came with CMW, which failed.. im still able to get into download mode.
Any halp on this would be really appreciated.
Which files do I flash in Odin to get a working recovery again?
Thanks!
You should be able to flash a stock rom using ODIN, and from there you'll be able to root it and install a custom one again.
ah yea, i posted that too soon, yea thats exactly what i did, i followed:

Sorry for not searching well enough before posting this, ohwell..

Alright so in order to not bore you all, ill get to the point. I messed up trying to do impossible things with my I537 because I didn't read any forums before trying... stupid I know. That being said I now have a "soft bricked" phone stuck in download mode. I have been looking around (I assume not hard enough) for the right file to flash with ODIN to get me back up and running so I can actually do my research this time before playing with different stock roms.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to get the right files to unbrick this thing?
First things first: this forum is for the SGH-I537 AT&T Galaxy S4 Active, not the I527 Galaxy Mega. I just want to make sure you have the right device. If you have the Mega (I527), you want this forum, and ignore the rest of this post.
If you do in fact have the Galaxy S4 Active (I537), then check out this thread, it has all the official firmware files that have been released for this device. I would recommend using the firmware files for NE3 (KitKat) to flash in Odin. The NE3 build is the easiest to root, and you can always use the keep-root method to upgrade to lollipop if you so desire.
Oh yes sorry that was a mistype. I did indeed mean to type I537. Ok Ill give this a shot and update on how it goes.
Ok so Im currently downloading the Full Odin package, but I have already rooted the phone with towelroot. Is that going to be an issue?
Nah it won't be a problem. Flashing firmware files with Odin will unroot your phone (it resets everything to original factory settings). You can always reroot with towel root again
Ok new problem though, I was able to get everything flashed through ODIN, it restarts; then I get the Samsung boot screen, att boot screen and then it just goes black. I put it back into download mode and tried to re-flash it a couple times but it keeps doing the same thing. Thoughts? This Is the section I got the file from;
I537UCUCNE3 (4.4.2) Released 2014-06-06 - OFFICIAL
Issue has been solved, I just had a battery issue but after changing that and letting the phone charge up it started up great. Thanks for all your help "thisisapoorusernamechoice"
I bought a new Note 4 yesterday from T-Mobile. I rooted it, flashed TWRP, loaded ViSXN910T3UVU1DOG1_v1 rom and all was well, untill I signed into the samsung account, and rebooted. The phone shows a yellow triangle with Custom Binary Blocked by FRP and refuses to boot.I cannot access recovery, I accidentally erased the stock backup, and when I go into download mode and try to flash with Odin, everything fails. Can someone please help? I tried taking it back to tmo but they want to give me a refurb. I dont want a refurb. From what Im reading I need the stock FW which was 5.1.1 and my model is N910T3 I am having a hell of a time finding it. Can anyone post a link to it or something else I need to do? Thanks in advance!
Quick question, Did you enabled the Activation Lock from Samsung?. If so then that is the reason why you are unable to load a custom rom. If this is the case just restore the phone to the original firmware through Odin and once up disable the Activation Lock before loading the custom rom again. Before all this also try to restore using KIES or see if you can get the firmware from sammobile as I am sure they should have it.
I have had a thread open on the wrong forum I guess. I tried to downgrade before unlocking my bootloader to 5.1.1 and now I cannot enter recovery to do adb or fastboot. I can only enter download mode. I believe my issue is the recovery and everything is different from 5.1.1 and 6.0.1. I need the flashable tar files for odin. The problem is they haven't been released yet and from my understanding (correct me if im wrong) anyone else with a att s6 running 6.0.1 could create a flashable tar file needed to flash so I can fix my phone. If anyone is willing to it would be very appreciated. I am in dire need to get my phone fixed. I tried to use also just the recovery portion from g920f so I could at least get recovery booted up and then manually update using adb. But it was not signed correctly and kept failing. I am wondering if its because it was a global one. I will also try to tmobile one to see if that one will work but im not optimistic. please please please help. PS: if there is an easier way that any one may know just to wipe the bootloader so I can do a clean flash without it failing that would help. Anything to get my phone back.
UPDATE
I have found the files necessary to flash marshmallow using odin. Thanx for anyone who was trying to help me in fixing my bricked phone. It is up and working now. I found the file after doing a lot of digging. Enjoy if anyone needs it. http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-galaxy-s6-stock-firmware/
