Hey Guys,
I kinda semi-followed a tutorial which basically got me to download a rom from chainfire, load it up in Odin and jobs a good 'un. Whilst that was successful, I didn't read too much more in to it (not rooted since s3 and it seemed to be that simple back then!).
Now I'm using a Galaxy S6 UK on o2, it was previously on 5.1.1. G920F
When I load up the phone its stuck on the s6 screen and says "recovery is not seandroid enforcing"
I can still access recovery mode through odin, but I can't seem to find files that will actually work for my phone.
Am I completely boned or am I panicking too much at 2am in the morning?
Cheers guys(&gals)!
Edit: fixed, I download a file called G920FXXS3COK5_G920FOXA3COK5_G920FXXS3COK5_HOME.tar.md5, restored it with Odin and was all good, only a 9 hour download!

Hey,
I've tried searching similar threads for this issue but haven't found a solution that works quite yet.
I have Samsung S Vibrant GT-I9000M on which I tried to originally flash CyanogenMod. At first I tried using Clockworkmod and discovered I couldn't actually get into it because of the Samsung 3e recovery utils. So I tried flashing to a different firmware (I've tried a lot now) to get to 2e but I am unable to get past the loading screen, which is flashing the samsung galaxy s logo. I've followed a lot of guides to try to get back to stock firmware but I haven't had any success at all.
I can't get into recovery mode anymore but I can get into download mode, and I've been trying to get back to stock firmware but whatever I try it just reboots and starts flashing a loading icon (if the usb is still plugged in, without it just flashes the samsung s galaxy screen). I've also noticed that the model number changed from GT-I9000M to GT-I9000.
I'm new to all of this, so if anyone can lend a helping hand I'd really appreciate it. So to summarize, I can get back into download mode but I cant' get into recovery. I've tried at least 5 or 6 times to reflash stock firmware (following the guides in this forum, I can link if needed) but its the same result each time. A cycling loading screen.
this guy is having the same problem.. see my posts in his thread.. do all the things i have told him to do..

Hello everyone! I was sincerely hoping that someone would be able to help. I believe I messed up my phone beyond repair by trying to root it for the 2nd time. I rooted my phone in Sept 2014 and accidentally dropped it and broke the LCD (not the actual screen, but a piece inside of the phone). Samsung replaced the screen but they had to reset it so I lost the root. I wanted to try to root it again today. I already had all the tools; Odin, Superuser, and Philz Recovery. I put the phone into download mode, flashed Philz, and Odin said "Passed". When I put the phone into recovery mode, it didn't look like it did before. It just looked like the android stock recovery. I assumed (noob) that I may have done something wrong. So I tried flashing it again and it failed and was stuck in the download mode (Do not turn Target off). I waited approx 30 min and just said, "Screw it" and pulled the battery. I know stupid. Then I got the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue message..." I did some research and many people on here and other android forums were telling others with somewhat of the same problem to download the stock rom. I'm currently downloading it but am worried it's going to do the same thing; "fail". I will update as soon as I try to flash the stock rom, but if anyone has other options, I'd so appreciate them.
Thanks so much for helping.....

P.s. I had the most up to date software for Sprint (maybe that was the problem)
S6 Edge hard brick! "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing". Download mode not possible
Hey fellas,
Searched long and wide but haven't encountered anyone with a problem like mine.
Got my S6 Edge today and I flashed it with CF autoroot. Insta-brick!
I can NOT turn it off. Only "reset" it with Vol down + Power, but it immediatly goes back to the black screen saying "Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge" and in little red letters "Recovery is nog seandroid enforcing".
Any fix for this? Literally can't think of anything. Let me know, thanks in advance!

I got my edge (925F)2 days ago, i wanted to flash 51.1 , i had 5.0.2 with root on it. I flashed 5.1.1 but it got stock at the "Galaxy S6 edge screen" aswell..I can boot it into Download mode and recovery mode. I tried flashing other roms, without any luck. I installed twrp to wipe dalvik cache, i installed a rom with 4 tar files, (includin the bootloader) but it didn't help.
I think that the phone's bootloader is messed up.

SOLVED!
I managed to get into download mode through some button work (short release). Download Kies3 and go go Tools -> Firmware Upgrade and Initialization.
Knox tripped still but at least the phone works. Let me know matey!
Hello Thank you for Using XDA Assist,
We are happy you where able to solve your issue.
We will mark this thread Completed and close it.
Let me start by addressing I know this isn't the sprint thread but there's a lot more development here which equals more help. Plus this issue seems to be able to happen to any variant.
Second, this isn't my device I'm trying to see if it can be fixed for a friend. I'm not that familiar with Samsung devices but I have been able to get them working in the past via Odin or kies but this time I need some help.
So this is what's going on, my friend recently rooted his S6(SM-920P) not sure which method he used (don't think it matters at this stage) and was on stock rom (LP5.0.2) with xposed framework installed. He hadn't changed the kernel AFAIK oh but I did install TWRP for him and everything was working. Long story short he woke up a couple days ago to his phone being unable to turn back on. I told him how to get to download mode and I asked him what did it say on the top left corner it said something like "system binary not SEandroid locked" underneath that it said fac lock
So I had him give me the phone thinking somehow it did a OTA update while he was asleep or something either way I was confident using Odin to flash the firmware would solve the issue. Had the firmware finished flashing I'm confident it would have but halfway through Odin simply froze on installing system. I figured its just gonna take a while 45 mins later it was still stuck at the same spot.
Not really thinking about it I figured I will just reboot the phone back into download mode restart the process it should be fine. Not a good idea. Now all I get is a green screen saying to access the smart switch emergency recovery system. But it gets better.
My computer isn't recognizing the device now. I installed smart switch software and it's not recognizing it. I even installed Kies and it's not recognizing either.
Is his phone toast or what? I tried emergency system recovery but I need the S/N of his phone to possibly get this thing working again, but it boot into anything anymore except the screen that says Samsung switch...
PLEASE HELP ME if it's bricked it's bricked I get that but if there's a way to figure out what to do I'm all ears. Thanks in advance
Hey all,
I got my S7 (930F) today. I went through the 1st time setup and evrythin went smooth until my phone decided to reboot and got stuck in some kind of reboot loop.
As i searched google i read that i was no uncommon problem with samsung devices so i tried some of the things suggested (factory reset/cache whipe) .. nothing worked.
It just tried to boot, loaded my carrier homescreen for a second and went back to the Samsung Galaxy S7 powered by android screen and would do tht over and over.
So i tried to do a firmware update via Kies , looked like it worked but still ... wouldnt boot after.
Maybe the best way would have been to return it to my carrier and get a replace but since i am little bit techy i decided to search some more.
So i ended up flashin
2016-04-18 Austria (3 Hutchison) 6.0.1 G930FXXU1APD1 G930FDRE1APC3
this firmware (found on sammobile) via ODIN 3.10.7 and everything worked but still no boot , still stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S7 screen.
Did i total brick my phone? What else can i do?
Running out of ideas, any help would be great!
