My Samsung Galaxy S6 running Lollipop 5.1.1 is stuck in a boot loop after I installed Clockwork whilst I had TWRP installed. I can't access either recovery mode. I can only access download mode but for some reason, Odin keeps crashing when I try to install the Stock ROM file. Hoping there's a better way. Thanks in advance.
Hi, and thanks for using XDA Assist.
First thing first. It wasn't a mistake. That is how you install a new custom recovery over the old. Flashing a new one overwrites the old one.
I am going to have this thread moved to the S6 Q&A forum, where there will be experts with the S6 that can help you further.
Good luck!
As Odin fixed your issue, this thread is closed.
If you have further questions, you can post them in the help section for your device

Hey guys so recently I had rooted my i537 S4 active and have been researching and modifying here and there until i decided to get a custom ROM. I found WickedROM via this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2491762 and considering it had worked on this person's i537 I decided to flash the ROM. After flashing I had become stuck in a bootloop and I can't get to anything besides DOWNLOAD MODE. Due to this problem I decided to run a stock firmware via Odin with this one_click http://rootzwiki.com/topic/44121-sgh-i537-i537ucuamf1-galaxy-s4-active/ this filled up until the bar was about 90% and then all of a sudden fails at <ID:0/003> system.img.ext4. I've tried other firmwares with no luck and have resorted to posting about this problem. please help and guide me in the right direction, i believe in you XDA!

Here is a thread about unbricking your device: [Restore to Defaults] ODIN for AT&T i537 (good for a soft brick!).
Hope that it works in your case.
If you have further questions about your device, please ask in the Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.
BTW, have you followed the installation instructions ... especially "2. Create ROM slot in SafeStrap"?
You have to use SafeTrap recovery to flash a custom ROM into the ROM slot, as the bootloader is locked.
And consider the warning in post #2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46656279&postcount=2).
Best to ask in this thread or the Q&A forum I linked above.
Hello,
I recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy S5, and i opened clockwork mod custom recovery. I formatted /system and rebooted the phone. Now it is stuck on samsung galaxy s5 screen and wont turn on. Is there any way to fix it without losing my files? Help please. Thanks.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist again. In the future please ask your questions in your device specific forum, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5 The answer to your question is still, you need to flash the stock firmware in odin and you will lose data.

Verizon gs3 will not boot into recovery
Hi, I recently flashed twrp on my verizon gs3. I trieed rebooting into recovery, but it said system software is not authorized by vzw. Every time I tried to boot, it just says this. I have to enter download mode every time I do this to reboot. Why is this happening? I just want to flash cyanogenmod 12.1. Twrp is compatible. Please help! I hate touchwiz
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assit. I don't know for sure on the S3 but many Samsung phones no loner let you flash a custom recovery like twrp or cwm. You most likely will need to return your device to stock using Odin. Please see your device's specific forum for more information here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-verizon I would also look for information on installing custom recoveries in that forum. After you've looked and if you still have questions ask here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-verizon/help

I rooted my SM-T111 with method given here:
http://techbeasts.com/2014/07/09/install-cwmtwrp-recovery-and-root-samsung-galaxy-tab-3-lite-sm-t110sm-t111/
Well rooting went smoothly,afterwards I just simply went to Recovery Mode(Just to explore).Afterwards I decided to reboot into system and kept aside my tab and went to complete some work.When I came back I found that it was still at the TWRP recovery page.I tried rebooting again and again and again...
Everytime I kept returning to the same screen.
I searched around the web and came across some solutions,however none of them are completely for my device so I want to ask for some advice.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2570879
Considering that I never actually Flashed a ROM or Did an OTA update , would the above mentioned methods work without f*cking my tab more than it already is.
Should I flash a ROM for SM-T111 and check or After flashing ROM use the code or do something else.
PLEASE HELP ME!
Any Help is appreciated.

Greetings and welcome to xda. Is this the twrp version you tried to install ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...overy-twrp-2-8-7-0-samsung-galaxy-j5-t3219901
There are several different versions of your device and there are specific instructions for a particular variant all though it does sound like you have installed the wrong version of twrp from what you describe. Anyway if you create an account the experts in that thread will be able to guide you
Good Luck
