AC Question
Let me begin by saying i've tried almost EVERYTHING, this would include looking up over 100 forum pages, so please do not tell me basic instructions like "unplug the USB, switch USB cord, switch Computer, switch this, switch that, go to recovery mode by pressing this, go to download, pull battery, pull battery for 15 mins, pull battery for 30 mins" I've done everything possible to recover my phone and nothing is working. KNOX tripped so I cant bring it back.
I rooted my phone using CF auto root over 4 months ago
Issues started a couple days ago, I will write the steps I took. (mostly in order from what I can remember)
day 1
- Was on my phone when it randomly shut off (6.0 marshmallow)
- Tried multiple times to turn it on and everytime it froze on the samsung s6 logo
- Tried to go into recovery mode, found out that it doesn't work
- Flashed stock 6.0-- got an error [recovery is not seandroid enforcing]
- Flashed TWRP to try to get to recovery mode ---- Still stuck on boot loop but
recovery is not seandroid enforcing was removed-- still couldn't get into recovery
- Flashed another stock 6.0 -- still stuck
- Went to kies, kies3, smartswitch all didn't recognize my device. ( I tried firmware installation but it didnt recognize my s/n number it was correct, i got it off the box and samsung account.
- At this point I decided to download multiple firmwares to try to flash into a random good one --- still no success
day 2 (because it takes 4-5 hours to download firmware)
- Flashed stock 5.1 and TWRP after still stuck in boot screen
- Downloaded multiple drivers and found out that my device only came up as USB modem
- Downloaded google and samsung drivers to manually browse path
day 3 (now)
(at this point I decided to use ADB based off some research on how to reboot, was running out of options and i'm pretty much hopeless right now)
- Redownloaded USB drivers, downloaded google drivers, SDK, adb fastboot
- Device still shown as samsung android USB modem (i'm using an s6)
Now i'm here, with a bricked s6. My main problem is that it keeps coming up as a USB modem when it should be a mass storage device. I looked up that you have to call a # and change it but that's not possible with a device that can't boot past logo.
Please help me, at this point all I want to do is just get it to work as a basic device.
