    S*+ SM-G955F Bricked

    So folks, I got my phone working again. It's got a new life but there is no magic bullet. Luckily, my brother had an exact similar phone with damaged display panel and he had thrown it somewhere in the house.

    fail to open recovery cause (no such file or directory) issue
