rw device 3, Willing to pay if solved!

Hello Guys,
I had rooted my Samsung Galaxy S6 and had gone to India from UAE. In India I didn't have a computer and I wanted to unroot my s6. So I did a factory reset. So that the SuperSU and things are gone. Now when I try to update it shows not a legal software so I can't update my s6 from 6.0.1.
So I tried to unroot and when I unroot it gives me some RW device 3 error via odin.
Why is this error comming?
My Mobile is GT925 (Model) s6.
Please tell me a way to solve.

Samsung S6 Abnormal Reset please enter Samsung ID

Hey guys firstly i want to apologize if i'm on the wrong forum.
I have screwed up and i hope you guys could help.
I have a Samsung S6 that worked perfectly, but i wanted to sell it and buy an S7 and so i have done a "hard" factory reset by pushing Vol up, Home, Power buttons. Turns out i had to do a "soft" factory reset first.
Now when i tried to sell my phone with all parts and documents i have failed!
It turns out that the phone asks for my Samsung ID but obviously i can't remember an ID that i have created more than a year ago that was of no use to me!
I think i still have warranty but that is my last option for something like this, i have not rooted this device it runs on marshmallow.
What can i do to fix it myself?
I haven't tried flashing it with a stock rom simply because i fear that that will trigger KNOX, even though i'm desperate to fix this, i haven't crossed that border of despair.
Guys please help, i'm counting on your replies.
Thank you.
Flashing a stock rom that was made for your phone will NOT trigger knox. You can use samfirm and odin to do it

Thanks for your reply, do you mean from sammobile? Also i do not remember what version if marshmallow i was running, is there a way for me to figure it out now?
Okay i figured out what version of marshmallow i was running simply because i had put updates on automatic so it must be the last 6.0.1
However i do not know anything about samfirm i have used odin before on my s4 like 3 years ago, and i only used it to root my s4.
Could anyone please help me out?
Btw, if i successfully put a stock firmware on it throigh samfirm and odin, will it remove my email? Or is it omly worth a try?
Are you certain that it will not trigger knox?
Okay i tried flashing the same firmware unto my devicd but it seems that i can't flash anything because Reactivation Lock is enabled.
I didn't enable it (at least i don't remember) mayve the marshmallow update enabled Reactivation Lock?
I'm almost at the point of throwing my phone into a wall, it's getting close.
Did you figure it out. I'm in the same boat with my S6 edge

Saving/copying ROM/Firmware

How's it going guys. I looked around everywhere to see how I can copy my ROM/Firmware without having to root my AT&T Galaxy Note 4.
My issue is that my wife just did her 5.1.1 Lollipop update and now her Note 4 is turning off and restarting and freezing a lot. Already tried factory reset and clearing the system cache. Didn't work. She is out of warranty and we do not want to upgrade to s7 nor Note 7.
So what I want to do is copy my firmware to reflash her Note 4. We both have the same phones. Thank you.

How can I UNROOT Sprint Note 7?

Hi all,
Tried figuring out how to unroot the note 7 but no luck
samsung plus is detecting it and i cannot download updates
I only rooted so i can unlock the phone
any help?
SOLVED:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-note-7/how-to/sm-n930p-stock-odin-firmware-t3444733
Launched ODIN and did only AP first, phone crashed and had a strange error screen. Then did the other three and the phone asked for a factory reset then started working.
The unlock STAYED
The device is able to get updates and everything seems to work fine including Samsung Pay
Only issue is that the hotspot does not show in the settings at all. All hotspot apps fail.
Also, does anyone know if the unlock will hold after returning to stock? Considering it's probably a soft unlock.
I want to be able to use all samsung services normally. as well as download updates and install them.
Thanks!

The firmware that you are trying to flash is giving you the sw rev error because that firmware is an older/downgraded version than the version that is already on the phone. You have to flash the firmware that is the same as what is already on the device or a newer version, you can't flash an older version. Find the newest, most updated firmware that you can find for your specific model number.
Do a Google search for:
"Stock firmware for SM-G935FD"
Then find the newest available version that is made for your specific region/carrier.
