Factory reset not working

[jfiorini83]

i did factor reset on my samsung s6 after having black screen of death and flashing lights at the top. Went to reboot after factory reset and still getting black screen and light flashing. I guess this phone is done for good?

How did you reset the phone if the screen is black?

By restarting it in not safe mode...but the other mode...where you can do factory reset

If the phone screen is totally black, then it wouldn't show any screens to you. So is it only black when doing some things? Also, "Safe Mode" won't make a screen go black. The option to reset a device is not in either "Safe" or "Normal" mode, but a separate thing. There is missing info here.

With the all black screen I press power button + menu button + volume up button and it restarts the phone in recovery mode. From there I was able to slept factory reset. But after that I am still with a black screen and and phone that will not start up. It will sometimes bring me to samsung s6 edge first opening screen and then just freezes or goes all black

I would have it looked at by a tech then. I don't see a way to fix it on your own.
