Flashed wrong boot file - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

Hi Well I had this big problem and I was close to solving it until i messed things up, I tried to not ask for help here but it's been a week and I can't find anything ): My g925p is just useless right now. I hope you can help me
Short version
Using Twrp I picked the efs.img to flash it and I didn't see it had two options ( Boot, recovery ) It's on boot by default so I guess the file flashed as boot and now everytime i turn the phone on it goes directly to download screen ( for odin ) ... I think if someone can make a backup of their boot.img file and upload it somewhere i could flash it and then everything would be back to normal ? At least boot into the rom .-. Thanks for your time !
By the way, When I try to transfer files via sideload twrp tells me i need a higher version for that device, And I have the latest version .-. Thank you guys
Long version
It all started when I tried to flash twrp with flashify, I guess i flashed a wrong version and my phone got stuck on a bootloop, I fixed it by installing the latest version of twrp and factory reset, But then it got into a bootloop in the initial setup, So I decided to Flash a light rom and it worked ! but it wouldn't connect to data, Before I had this problem I backed up esf.img and I thought it would restore connection, But then ... ( Continue in short version B) )
Thanks you so much for reading guys !

That was the first thing I tried but Odin would give me the nand write error, And googling People would just say " Try different cable, different usb port, your nand is burned and you need to replace it " I did the two first things but the second, Well I succeded flashing a rom through twrp so i dont thing there's something wrong with it.
Thanks for the answer tho.

How to flash recovery(CWM) without odin/pc

Hey, i'll describe my problem. I wanted to flash a custom rom, i copied ROM and gapps, whatever, i went to TWRP screen, deleted SYSTEM, just to be sure everything is ok, cause i was having aurora and i tought there might be some problem with compatibility. But SURPRISE, twrp decided to give me stupid errors, i downloaded 5 more ROMs just to make my phone working again. THE ERROR SHOWN WAS : "Error executing updater binary in zip "(I was able to flash gapps.zip without errors though) . I can't believe this, what should have been 10 minutes became 5 hours.
THE FACT is that i can't connect my phone to pc in any way, it's not recognized by odin in download mode( maybe because usb debugging off, but i also had recognizing problem with it, it's because charging port most probably, but i'm not going to change it now ), because i only want to flash CWM now to be able to flash ROM.
SO, im asking you to help me flash CWM using TWRP, to flash it like ZIP, i wonder if it's possible. FAST REPLY, please, i want to use my phone soon.

Hi guys, I need some help.
I just flashed the TWRP included in Google Drive, everything went fine, the flashing was successful.
I then booted to recovery, TWRP Recovery was installed, I swiped to allow partition modification as asked.
Then I rebooted and was stuck on the Alldocube logo for several minutes.
I tried flashing the original recovery you included back again and same problem, I'm stuck on boot logo :/
Any idea how to deal with this ?
---------- Post added at 11:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 AM ----------
I've just tried Wiping Cache and Data / Factory Reset from original Recovery, but still stuck :/
OK guys, I flashed the whole original firmware back in and it's solved the problem.
I guess no TWRP recovery for me :/

S8+ failed TWRP install

I hope someone reads this as I'm lost for ideas. First time trying to root a device, I'm using an s8+ and somehow managed to mess up installing twrp using Odin.
Now when I try to re flash twrp it comes up with error, 'only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed'. Also I think I managed to erase the recovery program that comes with the phone as when I try to boot in recovery it now comes up with error message 'No command'.
I have reinstalled the stock firmware using Odin but that hasn't fixed anything.
Anyone got any ideas or insite into this problem. Any advice would be very appreciated as I'm so keen to discover rooting!!

Seeing No command is normal, with an icon of a dead android lol, thats stock recovery, blue screen, i got that all time, but after waiting about 30 seconds and pressing the buttons, i got the mnue to pop up to reset cache, reboot phone, wipe data etc.
As for TWRP, are you flashing the correct one, dream2lte??, download the latest one, the dream2lte.img .tar file, from the TWRP official website - - https://dl.twrp.me/dream2lte/twrp-3.3.1-0-dream2lte.img.tar.html.
I had this issue trying to flash TWRP with standard odin, i had to use a modded version of odin to flash it, even prince cosmy version didnt work for me.
I have attatched the ODIN i use, its a 7zip file.
Thank you, after trying a few more things the twrp file you gave me worked. I now have a fully rooted s8!!!! Your a legend.

Need help recovering my phone from bootloop after trying to update custom rom

Today I tried to finally update to the latest version of crDroid, but ended up having a bunch of issues doing so, and after a lot of troubleshooting and trying to fix it, I ended up putting it into a bootloop of some sort instead.
I'm pretty sure the last thing I tried was installing a different version of TWRP to see if that version would let me properly install the rom, and stop my phone from always rebooting into recovery mode.
Trying to turn it on normally or boot into TWRP leaves it hanging on the "Redmi" boot screen, it can boot into fastboot mode though.
I'm guessing that the only way to recover my phone at this point is to flash the Official MIUI rom back onto the phone, but that also involves wiping Data and losing pretty much everything I've put on the phone.
I was smart enough to make a TWRP of the Data folder, but while making the backup, the console said it doesn't include all personal files or something.
How much of my personal data and files can I rescue from the phone in this state, and how can I do that before it gets wiped when fixing it?
Also, I think I really need some help in actually restoring my phone and flashing the custom rom properly.
No matter how much effort I put into figuring out how to do this stuff, unexpected issues always seem to happen, and turns something that initially seemed so simple into multiple hours of troubleshooting.
The only way I think i've gotten rom flashing to work at all was by wiping everything and installing the official MIUI rom, but I don't want to be losing my data every month when an update comes out.
So, could someone please help me get my phone working again?
Edit: I ended up fixing my own issue by ADB flashing on a different release of TWRP, and then installing fcrypt disabler after the rom but before everything else.

Unfortunately, I can't.
Trying to boot into TWRP just gets stuck on the 'Redmi' boot logo.
I just remembered that you can install TWRP over ADB, and that Peter's one says it works even when the system partition is empty, so maybe the issue is the TWRP I installed and could possibly undo this part of the issue over ADB.
It won't fix the issue preventing my from updating my rom, but recovery only is still better than a soft brick.
Edit: That worked, i've put Peter's TWRP back on, and it's launching into recovery mode/TWRP again now
twrp not boot after successfully flash in this rom

In the end, I did try orangefox, and it might have been part of why it worked.
However, the crDroid installation instructions specifically mentions using Peter's TWRP, so I initially used that one.

Thank you for the effort you put into typing up a guide to help me, but I ended up fixing my own problem.
I was able to use fastboot to flash on a better TWRP release, and then get the rom to install properly by installing fcrypt-disabler just after it.

If you can access fastboot, then flash TWRP.... Enter recovery, wipe your system partitions and then flash the Stock MIUI ROM or use the MiFlash tool. Make sure you aren't flashing an older version of the ROM than the onle already installed.

NEED HELP PLEASE! (SOLVED!)

I flashed a custom rom on this phone a couple of months back and after a week of use I handed it down to my sister-in-law. Accordingly she updated it and it got stuck in a BOOTLOOP (fastboot screen) since yesterday.
I've already posted this yesterday on the Phone's thread.
Please do help me. Thank you!

You didn't need to change the system file, this won't help to this issue.
It's uncertain to know if the Miui ROM that you tried to install was older or newer that the firmware you had previously, a downgrade is not allowed.
When you are coming from a custom ROM and tried to return to Miui (as you tried to install a Miui ROM) you have to do it through fastboot or through EDL mode, I say that so is not clear why exactly you tried to do that.
Finally, if the firmware where you are now is the right to flash the custom ROM you want, by flashing that custom ROM directly would be enough (of course after following the given steps on that thread) no need to flash the whole stock ROM prior to do that (at least is explicitly indicated)
Before to do anything, go back to the original format file.
@SubwayChamp there's a problem with the partitions being encrypted even though I do:
WIPE > FORMAT DATA > YES
the error shown in the picture comes up. same as trying to flash anything

The partition being encrypted is not really an issue, some devices keep encrypted no matter which ROM you flash or if even you format data.
The feature repair file has to be used wisely, you have to go back to the original system format file.
The better you can try now is flash the stock ROM not through recovery but through fastboot (firstly) and after that, if fastboot doesn't fix it, through EDL (download mode) take care to not lock it again.
From there, you should start again from the scratch.
@SubwayChamp - firstly thank you for the help. Ill update you soon.
@SubwayChamp
I tried flashing the stock firmware using MiFlash Tool, but nothing happens it just says success yet the phone stays at the fastboot screen.
Then I tried EDL mode, even cracked the plastic back cover :'(
The port registered and used the flashtool again but still, the software just closes whenever I flash.
So I did a bit more research and found this. Had to flash everything line by line and now the phone has come back to life. Thank you!
