How wipe data from DEAD Samsung (Galaxy S6) android phone? Please Help.

Don't bother trying to "wipe" data form a phone. If you're considered about others getting your data you need to use a phone with an SDCard slot, store all the data you don't want to risk others getting, and never let go of that sdcard.

I know there are a few, but I don't know about an android phone that does not have root. You may not even need root for this. With ADB you can read the phone's storage to you pc, and recover any file that was "wiped" by the phone, and has not been over written with undelete software.
