So as the title suggest i have tried to install XtreStoLite 3.0 RC1 Marshmallow Android 6.0.1 on my phone. I wanted to upgrade from previous XtreStoLite 2.4 so here is what i did: I booted into TWRP recovery and wiped system,dalvik cache. Then i installed the XtreStoLite 3.0 and the instalation was successfull in the installer it asked me what type of phone i have i choose s6 920f and then it installed and after that was finished i rebooted the phone and now i am stuck in a bootloop...I ran out of ideas, someone please help me to ''bring it back to life''.The phone is almost new it was bought 1 month ago, if that matters.
Thanks in advance.
Its probably because you need mm bootloader, twrp 3.0.0 and arters new kernel.

You have to pull MM bootloader and radio out of the stock MM firmware and flash threw odin or flash the whole stock MM firmware and start over.

Copy the twrp backup file to your computer, use Odin to flash stock 5.1.1 , then flash twrp, then restore backup , you don't have to copy it to your computer, just in case it gets deleted when odins flashing.

Head over to sammobile and then download appropriate firmware for your device, once you are done, flash it using ODIN.

I tried to connect it with usb on laptop but it wont connect (odin doesn't recognize him).

Does it matter how I rooted phone ? I did it with s6_unibase_bog8_v2.tar ?
Where should I download TWRP FROM ? twrp. m e /devices/samsunggalaxys6.html is this ok (and latest available version ?
I'm sorry I am such a noob.
Thank you for your help

Here this should work. Flash it via odin, your device should boot into recovery after flashing this, then select reboot in recovery (reboot system). Wait for the phone to boot. (wait for like 15 mins - 20 mins max).
If it does not boot then flash stock firmware from sammobile and after booting, you can root it using unibase (like you did) and then flash twrp via odin.
Don't be sorry. Every pro was a noob once.

If you are able to boot and if you have root then flash twrp via odin, wait for the phone to boot into twrp and then reboot the device from recovery. Then you can flash roms. You don't need to unlock the bootloader.
So I updated my s6 to 6.0.1 OTA. Then decided to root using CF-root.
Now when I try installing the custom recovery it just stays at the screen. I can boot normally & into download mode. But it won't boot into recovery mode. I downloaded the latest version for my phone model and it still doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?
Also, what is SEandroid?
And another question off topic. I usually use textdroider to change my dpi on my previous phones but it doesn't seem to work for my s6. Any ideas?

I use arter97 twrp 3.0.0.2 and when enter recovery mode, the phone show like that but it work well
The worst is waiting to see if the flash worked or not... it stays on the boot screen for a while :fingers-crossed:
If you flash the 3.0.2.1 version of twrp from here this issue should be resolved.

Awesome that worked! Thanks! One last question... My phone is encrypted and because of that, I'm not able to back up my phone, at least that is my thought process, is there anyway around that? Also does this mean i can't install zip files either?
So yesterday i done a pretty stupid thing of restarting my phone after I hid my SU binary using hide my root. This left what i think was a soft-brick as it was stuck on the samsung animation. I then stupidly enough got confused with my TWRP recovery menu and ended up wiping out my OS, leaving only the TWRP recovery on the phone. I then decided to download a 6.1.1 stock rom for my SM-G920F. When i tried flashing however, somehow ODIN froze and i made another stupid mistake of restarting my phone from download mode which resulted in the phone being froze on a screen saying " an error has occurred while updating the device software use the emergency recovery function s6 " cant provide an image as this is my first post, but please google the error message if you wish to see it
So i panicked thinking my phone was dead completely and surrendered, but today i managed to hook it up to TWRP and flashed the recovery. Now when i bootup i can access download mode and it boots straight to recovery. To make matters worse I began trying to download the original rom i recieved when i got the phone, however when i try flashing i get errors such as " SW rev, Check Fail: 'x' binary 'y' device "
(x and y vary for each stock rom i tried flashing.)
I have no way of finding out my firmware, bootloader info or anything. Is there ANY fix to this? I've made a huge mess of everything and I'm now desperate. Please, any advice would be a god-send. Thank you for withstanding this crappy post, I'm kind of a noob at xda.
EDIT 1- So I managed to install a custom ROM and kernal as i could transfer files while in TWRP for some reason but a new problem has showed up. So as of right now I have a custom rom installed which works, but when reboot my phone, TWRP is automatically opened after the initial samsung logo. I usually have to reflash my custom ROM (without wiping any data besides cache and dalvik) and the ROM installer will then reboot into the ROM, however this means when my phone turns off, my recovery is booted up instead of the ROM
I'm sensing some sort of Bootloader problem?

First off i dont own an S6 (im still rocking the S4), but i have had some problems over the years but always managed to fix them in the end.
So while in Download mode are you not able to Flash Stock ROM (downloaded from samfirmware) via ODIN (following the instructions on the site)?
In TWRP are you not able to flash a custom ROM (probably with OTG cable if you dont have the ROM stored on the internal memory).
Any issues i have had i have always been able to do at least one of the above methods. If you cant do either or, im not sure what else i would try.
Thanks

If you flashed a stock firmware successfully it will not boot into twrp, flashing a stock firmware will install stock recovery, which means the stock firmware did not flash properly. Have you tried smart switch at all? Are you sure you have the correct firmware to flash through odin?

Yes I am sorry I didn't explained that. Atfer I tried to install stock ROM it got stuck, then smart switch didn't recognize the device but I manage to do the emergency recovery thing with model number and s/n but same thing it got stuck on the same installing system update screen. After that I installed TWRP via Odin to try to push a custom ROM zip, I did that but when I tried to install it failed.

Download Samsung SmartSwitch and from the upper menu select Emergency Recovery Mode, put your phone in Download Mode and connect it to your computer, enter your model number and S/N when asked, and it will download and install latest firmware for your model.
Sorry, i haven't seen that you already tried that.

That means TWRP works and Fastboot/Download works. What is the actual Galaxy S6 model? Mine is G920F.
What custom ROM did you try?
What version of TWRP are you using? The wrong one can create issues.
Did you wipe the phone trough TWRP first? Twice? Including internal memory?

ok, that other post made it seem like you were trying to flash that in Odin LoL anyways so, when you do all that and then reboot, it just goes black or does it bootloop?

Don't use no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip (you probably don't need it) .
Start all over. Flash the stock ROM with Odin, then flash TWRP, and then flash Magisk (via TWRP).
