I rooted my phone (regular s6, not edge) via the pingpong root method and everything was going swimmingly. I installed the twrp app from the play store and went to try and make a backup but after executing the backup it wouldn't reboot, the phone was normal as if i hadn't pressed anything. I installed twrp recovery via the app and went to reboot so I could backup manually but when I went to do so my phone wouldn't boot up. It is stuck on the GALAXY S6 Powered by Android screen.
I have seen similar posts which say to flash stock recovery via oding and re-root. However I dont have access to a windows pc at the moment and am stuck trying (and failing) to use jodin on my mac. It basically just doesn't work. I followed every step and it will not flash cf-auto root, I checked I had the right version and everything but it refuses to do anything so I am up ****s creek as they say...
Any help would be appreciated

(SOLVED) I flashed the CWM tar file via Odin and wiped cache and davlik...booted up normal.
HELP!
I recently bought a GT-p6800 to use as a phone option. I wanted to root the ROM so I applied the universal root for ICS method and the device was rooted without any issue.
Here is where my problem exists
I wanted to backup the stock rooted ROM so I used GOOMANAGER to flash TWRP 3.4.0.0 on the device through the use of the GOO app. The process seemed to work according to the app.
When I rebooted into recovery, the tablet stuck on the splash screen logo Samsung galaxy tab 7.7. NOW I am unable to get the tablet to BOOT or get to a recovery. HOWEVER I am able to get into the download mode.
My thoughts are that I could recover the STOCK recovery by flashing it via ODIN?
Any thoughts that could help. I am posting here rather than trying something unnecessary.
Thanks in advance.
This exact same thing just happened to me. Haven't used odin before. Can you tell me exactly how you restored your tab? I sourced the CWM TAR file.
Thanks in advance!
Tried looking everywhere, but couldn't really find anything. Any help is appreciated!
Alright some background info
I rooted my phone and unlocked the bootloader successfully. I wanted to do more, so I flashed TWRP onto my phone using JRummy's ROM Installer. I followed all the steps and successfully booted into TWRP recovery. I created a Nandroid backup and when I tried rebooting my phone it gets stuck on the 4G LTE boot animation.
I then tried wiping the cache etc. and restoring the backup I had just created. To no avail, the phone kept getting stuck on the boot animation. I've tried restoring the backup multiple times with no success.
On my last attempt I checked another box on the TWRP restore page, I think it was the VG5 verification or something. Halfway through what I though was going to be a successful restore, my phone reset and got stuck in the boot animation again. Now when I boot into recovery it's the stock recovery, not the custom TWRP as before. Tried clearing everything/factory reset and it still stuck on boot animation.
As a college student I'd like to get this figured out as soon as possible (hopefully before midweek, Friday at latest). If I can figure this out with your help I'll be very grateful.
If I can't find any other way, I'm willing to flash stock back using ODIN and seeing how that turns out. Also my home button is a little sticky so I doubt the Verizon worker would be able to boot into recovery or download mode.
Any suggestions?
For those of you TL;DR
1) Rooted phone / unlocked bootloader
2) Flashed custom TWRP recovery onto phone
3) Created a Nandroid backup from recovery
4) Tried rebooting and gets stuck on 4G LTE boot animation screen
5)Wiped cache etc. and retried multiple times. Doesn't work
EDIT: I flashed stock through ODIN and everything seems to be in order. I'll be trying to root and recover everything through TWRP again and if it doesn't work oh well. My end goal is to have a custom ROM
Maybe this will help you
Okay for your problem, if you can go to Download Mode and your recovery back to its stock form, your last option will be flashing it through Odin. There are several method and guides How to Flash via Odin. I will link to you all the guide and try it so your phone will be back to normal. Choose only 1 method
1.) [HOW-TO] Unbrick your soft bricked Galaxy S III (+ bootloader brick)
2.) Verizon Offcial VRBMB1 Odin Files, VRBMF1 Odin Files, and VRBMF1 Update Files
Must read first the guide and download all the necessary.
If your phone gets revived, you can try this method and choose TWRP recovery and update the recovery.

Hey, have been playing around with my s6 for a while now and decided to install twrp recovery in order to get a custom rom. my phone have been rooted for about 3 months and i decided to install twrp via odin. after the installation my phone went into bootloop, and i started to look for stock firmware to my phone, i found one from sweden (where i live) and i worked, the phone was alive again. after i got the phone up and running again i noticed that i had installed a firware with a different baseband, my phone have g920fxxu3cpa1 and i used G920FXXU3COL1, and now when i am trying to root my phone with CF auto root, it wont grant me root acces and i cant install twrp, if i try it puts me in a boot loop and says: Kernel is not Seandroid Enforcing
i am thankfull for all the help i can get
solved this myself, dont know how to delete the post. please delete this
Hello,
I am new to rooting so I hope what i say makes sense.
I recently rooted my Samsung galaxy s6 G920IDVU3EPC6 yesterday. After seeing a update notification pop up it took me to twrp where I tried everything to get out of it, install the .zip thing. reboot. Nothing would get me out of the twrp menu. stupidly, I did an advanced wipe and it appears I got rid of all the system files or something like that.
Now the only thing I can do is enter the blue download menu or get stuck on the boot logo screen forever. I have made backups of my files on my PC. How do I get my phone back? please help me!
Hi,
Samsung OTAs (Over The Air) updates won't work on a rooted device. It has rebooted into TWRP, because normally it reboots into it's original Samsung recovery and installs the update. But because TWRP replaces the Samsung recovery, it doesn't work.
And if you have wiped the System partition, you no longer have anything installed. No Android, nothing.
The easiest thing to do would be to flash the original firmware for your device. Then you can do the update, then root your device.
A good habit to get into when you have TWRP installed is to do regular TWRP full backups. That way, if anything happens (like wiping your device), you can just restore that backup from TWRP, and the phone will be exactly as it was, with all partitions intact

I can't flash the original ROM. When I try to flash it on odin it never gets past setup connection or NAND write start. I tried different versions and cable and port and it doesnt work. PLEASE HELP
I can enter the TWRP menu but whenever I do something it says no OS installed.
Ok so i did the following in this order.
Installed twrp 3.3.1.0 via odin which worked perfectly.
Installed lineage os 17.1.
Installed no verify.
Installed gapps.
Had it all up ad running perfectly fine for a few weeks.
I decided to try a different os called pixel experience which i also got running just fine.
However i didn't like it and decided to go back to lineage os.
I used the exactly the same steps i used previously to wipe the system os inside twrp.
however when i tried to wipe the data it failed and then my phone auto rebooted and now i can't do anything.
It wont charge so needs to be plugged in to even turn on.
Once its plugged in it auto boots to a twrp splash screen and is stuck there and cant get into the twrp menu do install an os.
I can get into the download mode and odin detects the phone so i tried reinstalling twrp which says it was successful but when i reboot it gets stuck in the same splash screen.
i also tried reinstalling the original bl ap cp csc files that i had previously had installed which after many attempts finally go them to install but still loads the twrp splash screen and gets stuck there.
ive tried using adb fastboot loader using cmd but it doesn't detect the device so cant do any that way at all
i fear my phone is completely bricked and unusable please if you can offer any help would be much appreciated as im at the point where im looking to buy another phone as this is my old phone atm.
HI
Can't you come back to the last official firm for our S7 ?
It is an Oreo 8.0.0 firm
Have a look at samfirm ( or updato) and search for GF930FXXS8ETC2_xxx.zip
U flash that with Odin ( 3.13.1 I think) and yr phone is back to life !!!
Hope this helps
