A friend gave me a Samsung Galaxy S6 edge plus about a week ago and I've been trying to get it going since. Listed below are the list of events that have gotten me to where I'm at. Need assistance to move forward. Thanks for your time in advance.
01. My friend found the phone at a cell phone drop-off location.
02. He did a factory reset on the phone but it had Google Factory Reset Protection or (FRP) enabled.
03. He wiped the cache and didn’t do much more if anything before he gave it to me.
04. I tried to bypass Google FRP without OTG
• Installed SideSync and started it.
• Installed Bypass Google Factory Reset Protection.apk on root of the phone.
• I connected to my Wi-Fi and backed up to the select language screen.
• Plugged in cable, but the screen saying “Open with” did not appear so I could not move forward.
05. I tried to find and restore official firmware but had no luck. (Verizon Phone)
• Model Number on back of phone: SM-G928VZDA
o Cannot locate firmware anywhere?
• Model Number on Samsung website when registered: SM-G928VZDAVZW
o Cannot locate firmware anywhere?
• IMEI: [removed]
06. Called in reinforcements. My friend graduated from N.C. State with a Computer Science degree and can usually find a way around quickly.
• He worked on it for hours like me and could not find the official firmware.
• I was frustrated so I went to play some billiards in my game room.
• He flashed some firmware but it was not the official firmware needed.
• He restored some unknown firmware using some unknown version of Odin.
• I wasn’t watching so I’m not sure what he did.
• I came to see if he had made any progress and the S6 was in a boot loop.
• I tried almost every known suggestion on the web and nothing worked.
• Now the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge plus is stuck in boot loop.
• I cannot access Android System Recovery Screen by holding Vol. Up + Power + Home. Holding these buttons does nothing no matter how long you hold it.
• I’m at a total loss now and need some help.
07. Thank you in advance for any information you may have to help me get this S6 straighten out.
