s6 bricked shows up as modem device
I rooted my s6 a couple months ago and it bricked recently. I can only connect via download mode and it shows up as "SAMSUNG USB mobile modem". I know there's an option to change it through the dialer code but as of now, I can only get into the download screen to get my PC to recognize it as connected.
was wondering if there was a fix? or would I just have to bring it in? KNOX tripped so bringing it back to manufacturer isn't possible but I can still bring it to a repair store and hope for the best.
Troubleshooting already done
- uninstalled and redownloaded samsung drivers (though i still have all the kies and smart switch)
- windows update
- adb drivers ( didn't even recognize the ADB interface in device manager, also says device (null) not found when I try adb reboot or adb reboot recovery)
