Help Galaxy A6 Soft Brick

[Jaggeh]

Hey there,

I tried rooting my Galaxy A6 but i managed to soft brick it without having a backup to restore it.

I tried flashing it again with Odin but i get a binary error so my problem doesn't get fixed.

This is the ROM i used to try it :
https://samdb.org/download/firmware-sm-a600fn-dbt/wE7eb/DBT/A600FNXXU3BSD2/A600FNOXM3BSD2/

Phone details :
SM-A600FN
IMEI : 357575/09/264116/6
S/N : RF8K5ITRYYP

Does anyone have a way to fix my problem?

Do you have a custom recovery installed? ie twrp?

And just an fyi that link is not for a custom rom. it is for a firmware for your phone. Did you flash the right firmware for your country?

Try re-downloading a stock ROM from here:
https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?exact=1&q=SM-A600FN
Be sure to select the appropriate ROM, they are not interchangeable with each other. Choose the one that's an exact match for your phone and your carrier. The hardware configuration inside each phone has to correspond with the various carriers' cellular network, and the ROM for each has to match that hardware. Updato is a good source for valid, stock, Samsung ROMs. Just in case the ROM you tried previously might have been inadvertently corrupted during the download process, try it again.
If the ROM itself turns out to not be the issue, try uninstalling the Odin utility, restart the PC, and reinstall Odin. You can download it from here:

Also, are you plugging your A6 into a USB hub? Sometimes it's better to plug it directly into a USB port on your PC instead of a USB hub (not as big an issue for USB hubs powered by an external power adapter but often an issue with hubs powered only by the USB port itself). Another issue to look at is using a good USB cable, getting a good USB cable doesn't cost much and alleviates a lot of those random issues that pop up when using those lessor quality, bargain-priced cables.
