I fuktup (emergency recovery function) - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I flashed an 5.0.2 deodexed rom on my S6 I apparently forgot to turn off something so it was stuck at boot.
Then I downloaded an 5.0.2 stock rom but it failed at the end. Don't even know why. Now I have to download Kies and recover it.
The reason why I want to stay at 5.0.2 is because I rooted my phone, will it recover back at 5.0.2 or will it go straight to 5.1.1 and trick Knox etc? Knox is such a fkn hassle. Any other way to go straight to 5.0.2?
Thanks in advance :good:

AAAAND it says that I have an unsupported device in Kies now?!?!

I can't use my phone for anything for the past 2 days now... Is there an red emergency button when I open my S6?
It's been going in a downward spiral lol

I cant even hard reset...

I finally found the fix! I had to change hidden.img to hidden.img.tar in the stock rom file.

Not having any luck... (possible brick!)

So I've hesitated flashing my Sprint Note Edge simply because (and no disrespect to those that have been working hard) I was waiting on more development... but after receiving the 5.1.1 OTA update I wanted to revert back to kitkat... so I did some research and found all the files I needed to root (as well as the 5.0.1 stock firmware just in case that didn't work)... it rooted fine(I think) but when I went to add the SU superuser zip (through CMW) my Edge froze at the bootloader screen and won't go any further... I tried reinstalling the stock firmware tar. through odin but I keep getting the expected "fail"... I'm thinking my only option is to find a ROM small enough to fit on my sd card (240mb) and try to flash through cmw... but I'm not having any luck... ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!
I am in a similar boat here I think we need a stock odin before we can fix this so far no luck finding one on my end (
Same here too m8, on my Sprint SM-N915P. I was on 5.0.1 then upgraded OTA to 5.1.1, but had issues rooting, tried to revert to 5.0.1 thru Odin, ended with FAIL error. Initially, had the message "[aboot] Fused 4 > Binary 2". Did some digging, and now I believe my only option is to wait for the official Sprint 5.1.1 TAR or MD5 to be released or get a PIT file from someone on the 5.0.1.
Today i'll try to reflash original recovery from CF-AutoRoot's md5, so the stock "Firmware Upgrade Error...in KIES" pops up at boot, and take it to a Sprint shop, hoping for help...
That sucks! Well keep me posted on your progress....
Is it a bootloader issue or incompatibility between 5.1.1 and 5.0.1 that prevents flashing?

Can't boot and Odin isn't letting me flash stock firmware

Basically I wanted to try the sac23 edge rom on my flat gs6, i noticed it was a 5.1.1 rom so i updated ota and then rooted and installed twrp for 5.1.1 then I went to install the sac 23 rom and then it just hasnt booted since, tried with a kernel too and even factory wipe didnt work, then i flashed another rom that is the xtresolite universal edition, everything usually works except mobile networks so i flashed that to try to get it to boot, still wont it just hangs at the samsung galaxy s6 logo then eventually turns off, the charging logo doesnt even go to charging just the charging symbol. After that i decided to flash stock firmware, doing so i realized that i wouldnt be able to use the 5.0.2 firmware which didnt work, so i downloaded the 5.1.1 firmware and i have two, one ends in of7 and one ends in 0e2, both have not worked and im getting worried, i bought this phone because i accidentally destroyed my s5. so i had to pay like full price for this phone and reallyyyy dont wanna buy another pleasseeee help
Thanks
Edit: I have a sm-g920p and flashed a sm-g925p rom because i heard you can do so with a kernel
Try this?
Boot into stock recovery and factory reset / data wipe.
On computer at www.sammobile.com download the correct stock rom for youre phone and flash it from Odin.

So im assuming i just messed up myself here

I got this s6 back in march or april and it was on 5.0.2 and well now that iv've updated to the OTAS 5.1.1 OFE i was curious about root and i continued with a thread about rooting it and etc
( i kinda regret that now, i shouldve stayed on 5.0.2)
but the main reason i rooted was to recover files and welli did but i installed dr fone on my computer it asked for my phones root permissions so i went ahead and rooted it but after a bit i noticed it started to freeze my phone and after a bit it just stopped working.
i turn it on and restart it i see a blue led cycling and i see the sprint spark screen but it does nothing from there.
and so i stupidly went to to stock recovery, wiped cache, and factory resetting it and now idk what to do
there isnt an OFE stock tar yet so i cant fix this on my own, im just thinking if i flash twrp right now and then flash a custom rom will that work?? for my OFE build
am i able to or should i just download the stock tar 5.0.2 to reflash it or will that just basically brick me completely??
also i did have insurance for this and i thnink i just blew that one too :/
ive noticed mine said this
G920PVPU2BOFE
and not G920PVPU2BOF7
so does that mean im able to use the stock firmware from the website and reflash it or like what do i do...
SO what i did countless of researching
i ended up having the
custom binary blocked by FRP lock, by forgetting to unlock oem before updating the Twisted Projects SuperSu or User since it asked me to updated i ovbiously just went ahead of myself and that happened thus into this Boot Loop Soft
and im flashing with ODIN the stock 5.1.1 OF7 tar its surprisingly working. ( i was originally on the OFE OTA tho.)
unlike the Twisted Project custom roms, kernel and or twrp setup, i couldnt boot into the twrp or even past the android screen, and well the only option i had was just Download Mode.
And this basically saved me.
Very Informative

Help, 7.0 ROOT & TWRP

How do i root/install twrp my sprint s6 edge which is on nougat?
flash this with TWRP https://www.dropbox.com/s/yk71179z29zo87h/N920_Nougat_Root_SuperSU_No_kernel_included.zip?dl=0
i tried to flash twrp twice, my phone is now soft bricked. as soon as i boot it up, there is this flash and when i touch my phones screen, it vibrates. i dont know whats going on anymore. i will now try and flash stock firmare
*UPDATE*
i have successfully flashed the stock firmware and my phone is working. The loss of data is unfortunate, but as long as my beloved s6 edge is working, i dont mind. i think ill just wait until there is a proper way to root 7.0. until that time ill just use 6.01 i guess.
Thanks anyways

which stock firmware did u use
6.0.1, G925PVPU3CPB6 from sammobile.
then i got the ota and just updated to 7.0
now im going to re-flash 6.0.1 and then cf auto root. i cant stand my phone without root.
unless someone helps me flash twrp. so that i can flash that super su file with it.
i noticed something while browsing the twrp site, it says something like "This device uses dm-verity. This means that swiping to allow system modifications will prevent you from being able to boot if you are using the stock kernel. In order to bypass dm-verity's boot prevention, you will have to install a kernel that has dm-verity disabled in the fstab". now i this verity thing is my nightmare. before when i had rot, i forgot i had used cf and went to super su and remove root. next thing i know, my s6 is in a boot loop. And when i went to boot loader it showed a message saying dm verity failed. Can anyone guide me? To flashing that kernal that is
guys ive done it. rsktkr1 thanks. i was basically flashing the wrong twrp. I will leave the link to the correct twrp file just in case there is someone who went through the same hardships as me. https:// dl.twrp.me/zeroltespr/twrp-3.1.0-0-zeroltespr.img.tar. html just remove the spaces
Thanks guys. Sorry for all the trouble.
well i got my s6 edge back and running. I had it on mm 6.0 and rooted it once more just now i decided to go back to nougat. I have found that twrp 3.1.0 sent my edge into a bootloop and actually hard bricked my phone. I figured sine my s6 flat took root on nougat that since i used the n20p supersu nand 3.2.0 twrp ran flawless with just one problem which is battery life it dont very long. so if i were to try the note versionj of my edge it might work but for custom recovery stay with 3.2

Bricked and trying to recover

SM-G930F
TWRP 3.62_9-0
Last Known ROM: [TeamExyKings][S7_S7Edge_G930_G935_F_FD][Pie_9.0][15-January-2020][Note_FE_Port][v20]LightROM
I'm trying to get my S7 to stock. I have no idea where it's going wrong. This all started when I went to get my phone off the charger and it looked like it took a hard crash. Im not sure why either. I can get into DOWNLOAD MODE, and I can reflash my TWRP with ODIN. Whenever I go to flash a ROM in TWRP, it freezes on install, and I have to hard reset it. Anyways, my end goal is to get my S7 back to stock. Thank you so much in advance.
I've managed to get a rom(LightROM) in.. but I am stuck on a BLUE LED and a Black Screen? Anyone got the possible solution to get back to a stock rom? I am actually having a hard time finding a stock rom as well.

Going back to stock is probably the best option, download the firmware from here selecting your country and carrier
Download Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930F firmware
Download the latest Samsung firmware for Galaxy S7 with model code SM-G930F. Check out our free download or super fast premium options.

you will have two csc files the csc file wipes the phone whereas the home csc upgrades the software, you would use home if you had a working rom say Android 7 and wanted to upgrade to 8. You want to wipe the phone.

well i went in TWRP and formatted/wiped everything. Would i still need a rom? I feel like something is mad corrupted. Maybe a Kernel? I haven't been successful of flash a room or getting into the OS yet. I just need to get into the phone and have it turn on.
