Boot Loop Even After Reset - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

Hey guys, so my phone has been going in to boot loops. I would put it in recovery mode and clear the cache partition, that would get it to stop sometimes. Finally I did a factory reset. Now when its trying to set up my phone, it boot loops in the middle of that. So I used ODIN and tried to reinstall the firmware (OJ7), which was successful, but I'm back to boot loops during the phone set up process. Any ideas what to do next?

Have you did any modifications?

I installed an app on my phone that works in collaboration with a game. The app requires the phone to be rooted, but after researching the process to root a phone and the risk of voided Knox on 5.1.1 I decided against it and uninstalled the app. Its possible the app may have done something. But besides that there has not been any mods installed on my phone.

What causes the constant rebooting? Do I possibly have corrupted files that can be replaced with the recovery system? Any ideas would be helpful.

Is your bootloader unlocked?

I am not sure. Can I check that from the recovery mode or download mode screen?

Don't think so. Have you tried to Odin Ol1?

Soooperstar, I appreciate you taking the time to try to help me. I took the phone to the Samsung vendor. She worked on it for 2 hours and couldn't get it to stop going into boot loops. Its being shipped to Samsung now so they can fix it.
Thanks again.

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!

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.

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:
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-G900P

Stuck at boot and unable to change anything!

I have an old 8013 Note 10.1 that I let my kids use, it's had CM on it forever and no issues until recently. Now it boots up to the CM bootscreen but doesn't go any further. I've booted to TWRP and tried to format and install a new ROM but it doesn't seem to even format. When I go to load a new ROM it always shows that the internal storage is the same free space (something like 513Mb). I've tried flashing PhilzTouch, TWRP, CWM, and when I reboot to recover it's still the same version of TWRP I started with. Tried flashing a stock ROM, still boots to the CM Logo. Loaded ODIN on my computer and tried flashing a stock image using ODIN and it shows it's successful, but nothing changes on the tablet. I even tried the instructions listed in this post, which should reformat everything and still - same issue.
I've attached a few screenshots of the kinds of errors and messages I get in TWRP when I try to format, do an advanced wipe of everything and still a new ROM. Any suggestions would be great! I'm ready to give up on this thing, but I still have a sliver of hope.

Try doing Odin but check Nand erase all, if you know what that does it should wipe what's holding your tablet back and then flash stock firmware, just hope it works, I don't know anything else really

Can't load J700p into bootloader

So i recently flashed lineage 14.1 j7ltespr to my J700p, and the rom loaded up fine, but it won't recognize the sim card. As this is my daily driver that can't be the case, so i tried to flash a stock rom back on. I think i could get it to work, but the phone won't boot into bootloader anymore.
It has the most recent version of twrp for the model. And it will system boot, and boot recovery just fine. But when i try to boot loader, it just gives me a charging symbol, and freezes. I've been trying to fix this anyway i can for the last 12 hours.
I also tried adb, and odin. Odin gives me an auth error every time i try to load a stock rom. If anyone could help, i'd be very appreciative.
I'd take fixing the sim not found, the bootloader not coming up, or the NAND Write Start!! FAIL! (Auth) error
thank you for your time

Thank you peter for the advice. I tried what you suggested. Still no luck. Here is the output of the odin runs, they were all identical though i tried different roms, 3 different versions of odin, root on and off, as well as with debugging on and off. Same out put every time.

It all or nothing on this if you can get into recovery factory reset then wipe system an go into download mod an try Odin one last time ! But before all that make shore debugging is on an make shore you are using a Samsung usb cord best the one that came with the phone ! An use Odin 3.12.5 or older 3.13.01 doesn't work right for that phone !!! PS make the firmware file isn't mest up ! Get the latest firmware file !
