So basically I managed to brick my new S6. I rooted it by flashing the unibase with odin. The phone booted correctly and everything was fine. I then decided I needed a custom recovery. I used the application Flashify to flash the recovery. When the phone rebooted, it was stuck on the Samsung logo, with a red message at the stop saying "recovery is not seandroid". What do I do? I'm guessing I need to flash new files using odin but I don't know which - I'm on android 5.1.1 and my model number is SM-G920F. Any help would be appreciated.
In Odin install the .tar (or .tar.md5) files provided with TWRP (https://dl.twrp.me/zeroflte/twrp-2.8.7.2-zeroflte.img.tar.html) or PhilZ Touch Recovery (http://www.arter97.com/browse/exynos7420/recovery/11.0/g920fi/) made by arter97.
It is possible that installing TWRP again using Odin can cause the S6 going into another bootloop. My solution for that is to flash a kernel (like arter97's one or Adam Kernel) and then the phone should boot just fine.
Edit: If you will flash a custom kernel you will not need to root the phone again because these contain SuperSU and maybe Busybox.

Hi,
I was trying to root my phone and install custom rom but i cant.
I have tried CF-auto root, and unibase v2 and also triedd to flash TWRP but no luck.
When i tired CF-autoroot, im stuck in Galaxy S6 powered by android screen with message saying Recovery is not seandroid and it bootloops continuously.
When i try with unibase v2 and i tried to flash TWRP and SU method, but i end up same as above. I cannot even flash TWRP(3.0.0.0 and 3.0.01 and older versions too)
One way i found to root is by using G920F version's CF-autoroot where i successfully rooted my phone and boots to homescreen. But i cannot flash TWRP or any other recovery using all methods(Flashify, Rashr, Flashfire and even TWRP manager). The same bootloop repeats when flashing.
Please help me in this issue, as i terribly want to root my phone since stock does not give me battery back up and i cant even get 2.30 hours SOT in it.
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
I just rooted my phone using odin and flashing the file CF Root SM J500FN. I installed twrp above it and it is all okay, I also installed xposed. But once I reboot my phone in TWRP normally then it doesn't boot anymore. It goes in bootloop on the twrp screen. I fixed the problem flashing the original firmware but I'd like to mod my phone. Is there a way to mod it without getting bootlops? :S
EDIT: I solved the problem installing the new TWRP 3.0.0 for our J5. It is stable and it doesn't have the reboot while TWRP Bug.

CyanogenMod is not ready for daily use. You don't want to install it on S6.
Conenct your phone to PC in download mode and use "Rescue firmware" option on Smart Switch to reflash latest software.
Then, if you want to install TWRP, flash THIS TWRP via Odin after reflash firmware via Smart Switch;

After you've flashed, boot into TWRP and install this zip via TWR;

Then, reboot the system.

i tried a lot but same thing happens, i tried to use Odin but it is not detecting my devise
plz help me to see something on phone except recovery
Samsung galaxy core I8262
That means that you're flashing incompatible software, then, as your device is unable to found a bootable boot image, it gaves up and decides to go to the recovery, to "tell you" to flash another ROM.
I moved this to the Galaxy Core forum to get more replies.
My solution would be Odin flash 100% stock, boot to make sure it boots, then Odin flash CWM and then reflash the custom ROM.
