Ok so I successfully had my S6 rooted via the pingpong root with 5.0 lollipop. After the second update came out for lollipop, 5.0.2 I decided I wanted to unroot the device to install this update. So I went into SuperSU and clicked system unroot (or something similar). It successfully unrooted as I checked with a root checker. Now, I did not reboot the device manually nor did the phone reboot itself after unrooting. I prcoceded to install the update, it failed. Still booted up but was not updated and was unrooted. I tried this twice. So I proceded to reroot my device with pingpong again. Did so successfully. Googled how to unroot a different way and came up with this app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.pinpong.simplyunroot&hl=en
I proceeded to use it. And after it supposedly unrooted the device, I rebooted it and now it does not respond to ANYTHING. I no matter what do. I tried every single option under the recovery menu (holding home + power +volume down) including the wipe all data and it never gets past the verizon logo in the bootup. I tried flashing the stock firmwire with Odin. And I did so successfully with each of the 4 files one at a time from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s6/general/verizon-s6-stock-restore-files-t3096000
Still, nothing past verizon logo upon boot up with each flash.
So, the device seems to be gone but if you guys can give me any help it would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Did you do what Misterxtc said to do after flashing his files and encountering a boot loop?
Immediately after getting the bootloop, then you go into maintenance mode to clear cache-factory reset. The order you do things is important. You probably did this already but I thought I would make sure.

Hello...I"m hoping I can get a little assistance with rooting...
I'm following the guide from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2737724
I've installed the drivers initially on a windows 8.1 x64 laptop (i've since installed on a win 7 32-bit machine). I kept getting:
RECOVERY BOOTING
Recovery is NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warrenty Bit : recovery
I pulled the battery and when I try to start the phone up it goes straight to this screen again.
I pulled the battery again, went into download mode, and flashed philz_touch_6.57.8-klte.tar recovery img and it rebooted fine (unlike the cf-auto root.)
Everytime I try to do the first step of the guide (cf-root), I receive the same message. Can anyone help or at least point me in the right direction? Yes i'm new to samsung devices but have been flashing htc phones for years...clearly this is a different process. Thanks again for any assistance!
ALSO....even after pushing the recovery img through odin (at least it seems to reboot my phone).....turning the phone off...and then holding vol up+home button+power DOES NOT take me into recovery...it just takes me back to the screen with
RECOVERY BOOTING
Recovery is NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warrenty Bit : recovery
Is there anyone who can assist me?
EDIT
I went ahead and installed a the stock 4.4.4 from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s5/development/stock-rom-ni3-kitkat-rom-t2886171
This apparently restored my recovery img and I was able to boot into the stock recovery. I attempted the process of cf auto root again using this file: CF-Auto-Root-kltespr-kltespr-smg900p.tar.md5 and the result was the same. Immediately after it tries to restart I get:
RECOVERY BOOTING
Recovery is NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warrenty Bit : recovery
I again pulled the battery and powered into download mode to flash a recovery. The file I used was: philz_touch_6.57.8-klte.tar.md5
This booted my phone back into the normal rom. I tried to use SuperSu but it says that I don't have root. I went ahead and reflashed the stock rom and once again I have stock recovery. Not sure why this is happening, but it appears that cf auto root is removing my recovery. I'm probably wrong, but I'm looking for input from anybody in this community.
Any help?
Solved the issue following suggestions from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57022287&postcount=24
Instead of flashing cf-auto root first, flash the custom recovery first. Then let your phone boot up and then power it down. Hold up + home button + power and get into recovery...wait for few seconds as it will show the same message as before and then it'll let you into recovery. I selected reboot now and it prompted me for root...select yes. Done.
:good:
Still not getting root
I went through all the steps on CF's Auto Root listing and ended up with the same issue. I followed the above instructions to reset and was able to get the phone to reload fully. I have since been able to install TWRP, however I still can't get root access on my phone.
I can reboot to Recovery and get the same announcements. However, if I wait a sec or two it does proceed to TWRP, but upon reboot I get no root access. SuperSU won't proceed and root checker verifies that I have no root access.
Any suggestions?

Hmmm...so all I can suggest is the little steps I took. Flash the full rom again...ODIN the recovery (philz)...let boot up....shut down...and vol down +home button+power to get into recovery...select reboot...should be prompted to install root.
Worked
Got it rooted, thanks. Now to find a good ROM.

Everything worked as I thought it should, but the phone hangs at the recovery screen with above error.
I flash phil's recovery, and the phone will then boot up as normal, but SuperSU reports unable to inject SU binary
I dont care about tripping knox, just looking for a stock build with root (recovery and system) added.
I have rooted my Epic, S2, S3 & S4 with no issues, and as far as I can tell, everything runs as it should, the phone just hangs after the reboot at the recovery screen and never starts the rooting process in the recovery.
I figure I am either missing something simple, or got an update that root wont take with.
Anyone have any tips as to what I am missing and/or doing wrong?
Did you try flashing them from a powered off state, ie battery pull or power off then booting to download mode? That's an essential step in each odin flash

Yes I did, but I guess I can always try again to be 100%, thanks. :good:
I actually have been flashing for years, that is why I am so puzzled, as everything went how it is supposed to, it is just the rooting process does not start once the phone reboots into recovery.
I watched the vid to see if I just dropped a step, it all matched, but where the phone boots into recovery and asks to root, just never seems to kick off.
You can also try download supersu zip 2.36 then odin custom recovery and flash supersu then boot up. That's what I did on nk4

This helped... I got it fixed!!
The version of ODIN I had, had auto-reboot checked, and grayed out so you could not uncheck.
I ODIN'ed philz_touch_6.57.8-klte.tarphilz
when ODIN showed the block with finished, and before the phone restarted, I pulled the battery (had back open) & the cable and didnt let boot
I ODIN'ed CF-Auto-Root-kltespr-kltespr-smg900p.tar.md5
Pulled battery/cable (no booting!!), then booted directly into Recovery
Waited, it came up into custom recovery, I selected reroot, and BAM!!
Glad to have helped!

^This did it for me, holy crap!
I followed the root procedure to a 'T' like you and it would get stuck exactly where yours got stuck.
Seems to me that the stock recovery after rooting is what may be the culprit if this happens???
Either way now I can get everything going hopefully and remove the bloat, some of the nag notifications, etc.
Thanks
I tried these exact steps and I am still getting errors.

If autoroot doesn't work for you go and download supersu 2.37 zip (Google it) Odin custom recovery pull battery, boot to recovery and flash supersu them you should be good to go.

I ended up flashing the NK5 4.4.2 ROM in ODIN then used towelroot.
So I followed the same steps and nothing happened it just froze at the screen on boot.
I was using 4.4.4 stock rom. I fixed mine by installing philz or some other recovery software.
I went into the setting under advance in philz recovery and ran reroot.
It rebooted and I installed supersu and it worked perfect after that.
Hope someone else can get theres to work but I think the problem is with 4.4.4 that people and me didnt read that it doesnt work properly and you have to take extra steps.

I just got my new S5, so it was time to nuke my S3 to get it ready for sale. My S3 is running 4.1.2 rooted with an unlocked bootloader and TWRP 2.5.0.0. To ensure a better wipe I encrypted the device and then did a factory reset. Now upon booting back up, I get a screen that reads: Enter password to access encrypted device storage. So I entered my password and it won't accept it. I cancel out of it, nothing works - I'm stuck.
I'm trying to reset the phone back to 4.1.2 and have no idea what I need to do next. Any help appreciated.
If no one knows how to fix this is there a way using TWRP or something other method to flash my S3 back to stock 4.1.2?
I looked at your thread earlier and I was wondering how to do it myself. Since your on an unlocked bootloader you can flash it back to another version, however I'm not sure if because having encryption enable it will let you
From my CM11 S3
SOLVED!
This Wonderful Guide from droidstyle helped me out.
1. I already had the USB drivers installed so I skipped to Section 5: How to Odin back to Stock from any rom/recover from a soft brick/flash a stock radio.
2. Downloaded the appropriate stock firmware, in my case it was VRALG1 4.0 ICS since I was on 4.1.2 and was not unfortunate enough to use any OTAs (4.3 and up) which permanently locked the bootloader.
3. Power on phone to Download mode (Hold Power on, Volume down and Home key at the same time). Make sure Binary Flash Counter is set to NO. Press Volume Up to select download mode.
4. Connect phone to computer and follow the steps on using ODIN to flash the stock image.
Phone reboots, wait and then viola - it booted just fine and asked me to set up the phone. Just to play it safe I rebooted to stock recovery, wiped cache and did a hard reset.
Now I will unlock and root the phone and then it's ready for sale. :good:
BTW I tried to find a stock 4.1.2 rooted and unlocked image but couldn't. If I find it I will flash it.
Hey, I rooted my S6 edge (I believe just using the CF autoroot ROM, if my terminology is correct, I'm not too well versed here) and installed a custom recovery menu (TWRP 3.0) a few months ago and everything was working fine.
Today I decided that I wanted to wipe my phone, and I quickly googled to see if a factory reset from the settings app would play well with a rooted phone, and it said it would, it lied. Now my phone is rebooting only into the TWRP menu. I don't know what to do to fix it.
I've tried reloading the back up I made when I installed TWRP, it restores successfully but when rebooting it crashes. I have to reboot using Power+VolDown+Home. I also tried to just reinstall the ROM (assuming that going to Reboot - Download would be the same as using the stock recovery menu) but it also crashes so I don't think ODIN can detect it, the phone does however get recognised by my computer
I'm completely lost on what to do now, as I'm rather new to this, so any help would be appreciated!

Thank you both for replying. I couldn't get it too turn off, however I did manage to install a custom ROM through TWRP itself. I think I've just installed TWRP wrong, so thats why it was crashing, so I'll update and reinstall when I'm next at home to see if that stops it crashing. Everything seems to be working now though, so thanks!
I just tried to root my S7 using ODIN and CF-Auto-Root (I've done this before without issue).
It failed for some reason and now I cant get into the bootloader. Vol up Home and power takes me to an 'updating' screen then a yellow exclamation, and finally what looks like the stock recovery?
The only useful option I have is 'apply update from adb'
How can I root and flash TWRP from here?
Thanks!
Ok one step forward two steps back.
I made a mistake - I was pressing vol up not vol down to get into the downloader.
I've now flashed twrp-3.0.2-4-herolte.img.tar but the phone seems to be stick in a loop!
I can boot to TWRP ok, but when booting normally it just loops.
Ok I'm getting there...
re-downloaded and installed TWRP. It seems to have worked this time and boots the system normally afterwards.
But I still dont have root.
I also tried factory reset (from android menu and TWRP) both fail and nothing is reset.
I followed this guide http://www.stechguide.com/root-galaxy-s7-and-install-twrp-recovery/
If you have TWRP, then just flash supersu for root
Download the Superuser Binary .zip from the Internet and flash it through your now working TWRP Recovery..?
You managed to get the Bootloader working because you formatted the data and that deleted everything including the Root binary. So you just have to download it again and flash!
Let me know if I got you wrong in any way because this seems like a quick fix.
