Hi,
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist.
Download a stock firmware for your device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/stock-firmware-official-stock-firmware-t3086387
And flash it through Odin.

BTW I do recommend you to read more before flashing stuff on your device.
Good luck!

I see you've posted this question in other threads of XDA which are the right areas to post. The only other suggestion I can give you is to flash the stock firmware in oding.

[Completed] Galaxy S6 AT&T Custom Binary Blocked by Reactivation lock!!

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??

[Completed] g900v BootLoop/Wizard loop after factory reset!

To the kind souls out there,
I just tried doing a factory reset on my phone. Now the phone boots into the setup wizard loop stating ''please wait while we prepare your phone''. It never seems to finish preparing so theres definitely something wrong.
The phone was running a pre-rooted g900v stock OE1 with an OD5 bootloader that I had flashed using the flashfire method months ago.
I am still able to get into recovery and download mode luckily but I really don't know how else to get passed this wizard loop.
The instructions I had followed when I had first flashed the rom that I factory reseted are in this link http://www.droidviews.com/install-lo...ifi-tethering/.
I removed sim and sdcard and did factory reset again from recovery with no help.
I attempted to flash both pre-rooted OE1 and OG5 but Odin keeps returning FAIL!
I also attempted to flash G900VVRU1ANCG_Full_Odin.tar ( a downgrade) but ODIN keeps returning a fail after ''Nand Write start'' step.
Please please please help me! Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

[Completed] Unbricking a rooted Galaxy Note 2

Hi. I had cyanogenmod recovery installed when trying to update android to kitkat, and suddenly the phone wouldn't boot into recovery, instead i got a dead android icon and a CSC error msg, and commands would not respond. Able to boot phone, and after a factory reset I have a cyanogenmod version running, but with Playstore access errors (as described widely on forums, not responding to clearing cache, restart etc).
I want to start again.
I have latest USB driver, Odin dl'ed and ready to go.
My question: Can I flash a latest Cyanogenmod, or do I need to return to stock firmware?
(I read somewhere that if exact firmware for device not flashed, it will permanently brick the phone, and my model is GT-N1705, nearest version is GT-N1700)
Many thanks in advance

Greetings and welcome to xda, I would recommend using odin to flash stock and start over again just to be safe. Your model sounds like the lte variant which is the N7105 not the n1705. As long as you use odin to flash a N7105 firmware you will be fine. You can find your firmware here

Thanks, Sawdoctor. I did exactly as you recommended (with the help ofsome youtube videos) and I'm laughing. Had a bit of fiddling with GApps to get the right one, but after a few tries & cache wipes it all booted up and is working a treat. Thankyou thankyou thankyou
