GUYS!!! SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE!!!! Okay i have a Galaxy S6 version 5.0.2 running AT&T G920AUC1AOE2. i had it rooted with ping pong root and everything was working alright. so i noticed i didnt have a custom recovery and i needed one to install other root items. I decided to try TWRP and followed the instructions from Techno buzz... just google s6 custom recovery and its the first one! and everything seemed to go fine until i tried to rebooted to get into my TWRP. and when i did all i got was a reboot and the normal start up screen that says Custom Binary Blocked by Reactivation Lock on the top left hand corner in red letters!! it doesnt go past here!!! ive had some experience with rooting and things like that but this time i dont know!!! i tried downloading the Stock Rom from an XDA forum but it was the OCE version... not the one im on which is OE2. so when i tried to install it would get stuck on NAND WRITE START!!! on odin!! i also didnt have USB Debugging on but i dont think thats the problem. the drivers are properly installed...i found a stock rom that is OE2 and i will try with that..PLEASE if anyone can help me i would really love your help!!! also please try to contact me at [email protected] PLEASE THIS IS MY LAST HOPE!!!!
Update
Okay so odin isnt gonna work.. so i found out i had a galaxy s2 lying around that wasnt running smoothly and i was trying to use odin to maybe flash a stock onto it. but i remember i had kies. so i went there and went to the firmware install. asked for the model number and it worked, asked for the serial number and it worked, then it downloaded and everything worked. so then with my s6 it isnt supported so i tried smart switch. i went to firmware install. model number was good, but when i type the serial number the whole program closes and i cant do anything. i would try to use odin to mess my phone up and try A emergency recovery but i cant even write with odin. im getting close so any ideas??

i dont think its a hardware problem because it was running fine , i went to the guy now and he told me that he is trying to download the software but the phone is not taking it , and he told me that he took it to bci samsung so maybe they can fix it
after i flashed the official firmware the (custom ) kept showing when i turn on the device which means the firmware was not flashed , this is letting me to be crazy i have soft bricked my phone many times and fixed it with no problem , i dont know what to do
(I've been trying out new ROMs this week, and I must have bricked my phone at least a dozen times. Boring, waste of time, not a problem, though. I had the long blue light about 3 times.)
Make sure you have the 4.4.2 for the AT&T S5, not some other model S5. Boot to download and flash it again. SamMobile Firmwares has 4.4.2 for the phone. Or I'm sure you can find it on the AT&T S5 forum at XDA Forums.
i did all of the above like using odin or wiping data but nothing worked i think because the reactivation lock is on
is there anyway to turn off reactivation lock so i can flash stock firmware with no problems

@habeebsamawi,
XDA Assist is not a help desk. Our trained RC's will point you to the right direction to assist you with your problem.
Your device has it's own section located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5
You can browse through the current threads available to find a solution to your problem.
If you are unable to find a solution, you can start a thread in the Q&A section for that problem and hopefully someone with the same device as you will offer their assistance.
Please do not open any more threads in the XDA Assist forum as I have directed you to the correct forum for your inquiries.
Thank you,

Hey guys, I'm having a pretty annoying issue with my Galaxy S3 (Verizon variant), and even though I'm pretty sure I know what the problem is, and that I screwed myself, I wanna know if there's another answer to what's going on.
As the title of this thing says, I tried installing Clockworkmod Recovery on my GS3, but I did it via the ROM Manager app, since I'd totally forgotten how to do it on my computer, and Odin 3.09 wouldn't use the .tar or .img files I tried using to install the damn thing (still haven't figured that out).
Anyway, I flashed the CWM file on the phone, installed it, and whenever I try booting into recovery, it says some unauthorized software is on the phone, and I need to take it to a Verizon store.
I'm pretty sure Verizon locked us out of our bootloader, and we need to unlock it before we can make mods like this, but, being that I haven't had a GS3 for two years, I didn't know that, and didn't look it up, like a n00b.
So, I think I just partially bricked my phone. So, yeah. That sucks.
Is there any way around this? Is there a way to revert back to the stock recovery mode, so I can try doing this whole thing again?
Some phone info:
It's the Verizon, I535 variant
Running 4.4.2, Kitkat
Build number: KOT49H.I535VRUDNE1
Any help would be appreciated.

I recently got my Samsung Galaxy S6 and decided to root and install TWRP for a custom rom. I was able to root the phone and then installed their android app. TWRP Manager (ROOT).
After that I went to the app and one of the sidebars labeled install TRWP on the app then to the codename zeroflte for the Samsung Galaxy S6. It told me to restart my phone and I did but after that I was not able to use my phone again. Whenever I would turn on my phone it would show the normal Samsung s6 screen with a unlock picture and the words custom underneath. After that it would display a turquoise color screen with a words
Start Up Failed. Your device didn’t start up successfully. Use the Verizon Software Repair Assistant on a computer to repair your device.
I tried to google and see if anyone had a similar problem but nothing popped up. I don’t know where to find a copy for the Verizon Software Repair Assistant for the Galaxy S6.
I also tried and factory reset the phone or anything but the only combinations of buttons that would work on my phone were the down volume + power button. It gave me a list of options including factory reset but every option that I chose would lead me back to the same screen. The turquoise screen saying Start Up Failed.
Any help would be great. I don’t know what to do now. Tomorrow I am going to down to a local repair store and see what they can do. But if you know of anything that would be great. Thank you for your time and have a nice day.

Have you tried to Odin back to stock?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s6/development/5-15-stock-odin-tar-t3109676
Ya, you'll need to odin back to stock like he said. And TWRP isn't available for our phone since we don't have an unlocked bootloader. Do not try and install TWRP again. You'll want to use Flashfire if you need to flash anything.

Keep in mind XDA is a community for developers by developers. People are also willing to help, but you got to put forth your own effort. You will get ignored if you think people on this site are going to act as free tech support. Your question is posted just a few posts down from a link to the process on using odin to return to stock. You need to just follow those instructions. If you don't understand a step then Google it. I'm saying this because I noticed you joined XDA to ask this question. Or at least it's your first post. You will make a lot of enemies here if you don't take the time to read and research things before posting.
HELP
I have the same problem (Start up failed) but ODIN is not working for me... I am using the stock firmware for the GS6 edge and it says failed... what should I do?

If you have an edge you should use their forum. It's different than the GS6.
Just had to Odin my Verizon S6 (sm-g920v) to get it back to factory defaults.
I've been rooted for months with no issues and have known my bootloader was locked with no nice way around it but then i read some stupid guides saying to go get twrp manager to load custom roms on the Galaxy s6 phones and they even included the sm-g920v model number. I went to the app store, downloaded twrp manager, followed the first few steps, rebooted and that was that. Could not boot up anymore without Start Up Failed. A few checks and warning would have been greatly appreciated from the app developers but oh well.
Well that was fun. Now to redo everything on my phone.

Same exact crap just happened to me. I was running CleanRom Lite....thought I could use TWRP...some times I do stupid things...should have just stuck with FlashFire.
I've tried odin back to stock, it keeps failing. it says nand write fail and it stops. I've tried many different times. I've run Odin 3.10.6 and 3.10.7 I have the latest drivers, it recognizes the device but it will not load anything via odin. I've tried on two different computers as well.

I have a Galaxy s6 edge btw. Not much info on the edge, in desperation, I'm combing thru galaxy s6 forums seeking answers. I have been rooted for awhile. I wanted to turn off the nagging volume warning so I downloaded a zip file to flash but only to find that my twrp recovery was no longer there. So I try to download twrp and flash. Now I'm in a boot loop with the turquoise screen telling me to use a verzion tool to reset the device. Klies says my phone isn't compatible as well as smart switch. Odin fails every time after NAND WRITE. I'm about to microwave this crap and get new phone.

Did you ever get your phone up and running? I ran into similar issue with odin. After looking around on web I found a forum that mentioned using an older version of odin.

Sorry I saw you tried other odin versions 3. 10.x, I meant going lower. 3.09 is recommended for jb/kk but that worked for me.
Hi, so I am on a Galaxy S5 16gb running lollipop 5.0 through sprint. Im not too in this scene but Ive known enough to successfully root and unroot several other phones without.any problems. I successfully rooted my S5 using Cf auto root and everything was perfect until I tried flashing a .zip file for xposed installer through recovery. Ever since my phone wont go.past the samsung logo on start up. I am able to still access download and recovery mode. Every time on odin I try to flash the stock firmware (ive tried three.different ones) it ends up saying " nand write start fail" then "complete write operation failed". This is stressimg me out hardcore and im completely unsure of what I need to do. Much help needed.
