And I think I flashed CF-Root correctly. Tried to boot, Recovery is not seandroid enforcing. I then flashed TWRP 2.8.7.1 (the .img one) and now it proceeds to recovery after boot screen.
I tried restarting to system with TWRP and it went into a bootloop.
Am I on the right track? I mean is it supposed to be like that until I do a factory reset? I'm scared cause the ROM is still downloading lol how do I put it in the device's internal memory? Will I be able to in Download Mode?
On a PC running Windows XP right now, Samsung's USB Drivers don't seem to work whatsoever. I'll try it on my laptop and we'll see.
(p.s. should I have opted for the one-click rooting and stuff? Idk the guide tells me to do it via Odin so yea lol)

Since you were on 5.0.2 you could've used the PingPongRoot to easily root your phone. I did that but then after a while I thought I want a custom ROM so I updated to 5.1.1 and tried to use odin to root my phone but got the same issue as you.
After a few hours of struggeling I got out of the bootloop by doing an emergency software recovery from Smart Switch. However I'm not sure if it will recover to 5.0.2 or download the latest 5.1.1 in your case.
Nonetheless when I got my phone to work again I just flashed UniKernel with TWRP and then I was rooted.
I wont touch odin ever again I'm too nooby for that and it caused me to panic so hard with that goddamn bootloop.
I hope you get it solved!

[Q] Help to flash Note 2 with stock ROM 4.3

Hello
I decided to try jedi master x2 (the version of my stock ROM was 4.3). After trying it out for a while I noticed poor battery performance and when phone was locked I had to press the menu button several times to see the screen. Yesterday my phone was booting up by itself. It did a couple times then got stuck with the samsung logo. Reboot again and again and the same stuff happened that's when I decided to flash stock rom from samsung.updates/device site using odin3 v3.09 however, I have not been successful. After it checks the md5 OK, it fails on the NAND write. Is it the case that the NAND memory is not unlocked? I am still able to boot into recovery though. I'd appreciate if anybody can land me a hand on how to flash stock rom on my device.
Thanks

I use ODIN 3.09 to upload the md5 I got from samsung.updates.com I get this:

I am able to boot into recovery mode. I have not tried to upload any other ROM to my sdcard and install it there. The stock ROM I had before was Android version 4.3.
I read this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470262&page=3
then I looked at my device and read the following:
custom binary download: Yes (1 counts)
current binary: custom
system status: custom
knox warranty void: 1 <--- I think that's the problem
As you may know knox is a security feature which helps you to securely separate your personal and professional data. Well, in my case is not helping at all.
Another question: How am I going to remove knox with my phone only able to get into recovery or download mode?

Galaxy note edge wiped and can't install any ROMS

hello all,
I'm a noob and i messed up my note edge. I rooted it on stock kk 4.4.4 rom from Rogers and installed superuser and twrp. I wanted to do a factory reset through the settings and reset and erase everything but it won't allow me to. Every time i select erase it would just do nothing. Do i thought I'd be smart and enter twrp by holding volume up, home, and power button then wipe everything. Now when i power on the phone it just boot loops with the original Samsung galaxy note edge splash screen. I am unable to find the original rom for my N915W8 Rogers phone so i read I'm done forums a T-Mobile rom should work. I downloaded a lollipop T-Mobile rom and tried to flash it with Odin but comes up as fail. I tried to put the zip file into my external micro sd card and use twrp to install and it failed again. Any help is greatly appreciated. My end goal is to be able to get the lollipop Rogers rom with root back on my phone.
Thanks
Enter Download Mode and use Odin to restore the stock ROM.
Thanks for the reply. I tried ODIN but unable to flash. It fails right away.

Any other clue? I think the problem is I have no data in my phone. I am thinking it needs some base to work off of. Please don't laugh at my logic lol.

Boot Loop after failed root

Hello, at this point I don't care about rooting my phone. I would just like to fix it and restore it back to normal.
I have a Galaxy S6 Edge. The thing that's wrong with my phone is that it's on a boot loop and it can't go into recovery mode (or boot loader what ever its called). It also says when on the Samsung screen boot loop (RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING)
My model is G925TUVU2COF8 and it's running 5.1.1. Every time I try to flash my firmware in odin 3.10.6 I always get this:

Can somebody please help!
if you need your phone fast fixed, you could flash custom recovery and adb push a rom, for the odin problem idk..., after latest bootloader got myself a strange odin flash bug if i try to flash a stock rom :/
"My model is G925TUVU2COF8"
That's not the model, that's a firmware version.
Your model number is the G925T. Which is the tmobile S6 edge. The F8 firmware is 4 months old, which is probably why it's not working for you, you may unintentionally be trying to downgrade. You need G925TTMB3DOI1 firmware. You can get it here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/56137/G925TUVU3DOI1_G925TTMB3DOI1_TMB/ or google for a faster dl source.
It's fixed now!!! Thank you so much!
Sboot.bin is the bootloader part of firmware. Only the latest firmware will fix this issue. Glad your issue is now okay.

HELP ME please.
I can flash the backup although it gets stuck at yellow boot screen. but that does get rid of the seaandroid enforcing
If someone could help me as well I'm having a similar problem. I have tried using multiple Odin versions and many stock SM-G900P 4.4.2 firmwares from multiple sources, but always have the same messages pop up.

USB debugging is on and Odin does recognize the device is connect, I have also already installed the drivers again just to be sure. I have used Odin before with no trouble maybe its the fact the phone is from sprint and on lollipop since sprint is stingy on unlocking -_-. If someone could point me in the right direction or 100% working firmware links I'd appreciate it. I have also tried going about this through Heimdall and failed not even being able to obtain the pit file. If someone could provide a working one I'd also appreciate it I am fully aware it may brick the phone as everything else may do. Or show me the me the step by step to flash with Heimdall with a .tar. I'll take any advice thank you
you can try the newer firmware ok4
maybe this will work . unzip and place md5 in ap slot of odin

I have the same problem myself and it took me a few minutes to realize what the problem is. I just got a new phone from Sprint because my other one the USB port was basically broken I couldn't connect or charge. So after a few failed attempts at flashing a ROM I decided to look at my firmware and realized that it was the new updated bog1 version. Sprint decided to lock all the boot loaders so as of this moment I don't know how to flash any ROM or downgrade as the bootloader will not let you. As a matter of fact just last night I was walking into Walmart I pulled my phone out of my pocket to look at it and it was just finishing up installing some security policy updates. My phone then immediately restarted and got stuck at the spark screen. Just the fact that I was rooted sent my phone into a boot loop. As of right now the only thing I can do is reflash the stock bog 1. I have managed to get access to this one and I'm working on modifying the bootloader in anyway I can. I'm a little newer to this but I catch on pretty quick. As of now I have all the permissions unlocked for me to access all the files in that stock bog1 rom but haven't found a way to make them stick yet. I'm going to have to break down each individual file and hopefully I can come up with a solution or anybody for that matter because I'm a few months away from my contract being up and if I can't root my phone and customize it I don't want it. If they want my phone lock down and toddler mode then they can pay for it that's how I look at it lol. Make sure you turn off automatic security updates. There's also a post in here of how to clean that out so you don't have the newest security policy update. I know the exact file the bootloader is in but haven't found a way to get into it or modify it yet even though I have permission. It shows it copying /deleting but doesnt change. There is way too many people in this world to not have someone come up with a solution by now and anytime I search for it I get results from a year to five years ago , hardly anything recent thanks google. I also posted on times and started a thread I'm trying but I'm not as advanced as some of these developers on here but I am determined lol
I finally got it to boot up. Just took like 20 mins. Now it boots sometimes while others it won't and says process has stopped responding after the yellow screen. Why does it do this. The rom is official rom directly off Samsung kids.
may have cracked bootloader BOG1 G900P
i have been playing in thr sys files and today i managed to get a custom animation boot installed. after that i flashed a modded bog1 file from philz. it took and succesfully booted and am now reinstalling all my apps. i think i over wrote or blocked my bootloader. ill get back when i know for sure:laugh:

Samsung Galaxy s6 G920I (Aus)

Hey guys; New to the forums; Read a few guides nothing has really helped so far but I could just have missed something;
So what happened is;
I have succesfully taken all the bloatware off my s6 Edge; I was trying to do the same for the misses phone (Galaxy s6) Yes i made sure to get the right firmware
I downloaded from sammobile.com the G920I XSA so i could get rid of her telstra bloatware. However halfway threw the installation (Odin) it said failed and the phone was stuck in download mode for ages; I decided to just try a reset (after about 45 - 1hr) then it started booting up with a ! saying an error has occurred while updating the device software Use the Emergency Recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software;
Which I have tried doing; However it keeps getting to about 1 or 2% of the installation (yes it has finished the download read something on here about people getting stuck at 51% download) Then it asks me for a recovery code from a previous computer; I bought this phone used off someone with all the stock bloatware from telstra so I dont have the recovery code; How can I get around this ? I dont have their phone number either as it was on my old sim which didnt fit into this phone and I have already given my other phone away...
As of this min I am downloading the telstra version of the firmware again, Will this fix it ? and then will I be able to put the XSA firmware on ?
Thanks for any help
Appreciate it
