So my S6 Edge (O2UK) is stuck in a recovery bootloop, It can go into download mode.
Things I have tried
Reflashing firmware (Odin fails at hidden.img)
Clearing cache etc in TWRP
The bootloop was caused by SuperSU as it asked me a question about TWRP recovery and something obviously corrupted or is badly configured.
Any help is appreciated!
Have you solved your problem? I've got exactly the same....
Could anyone help on this?
Got the same f***ing problem here
Please someone help me in this:crying:

In the future, when it prompts to root, don't swipe to allow it.
Now reflash the rom, either stock or custom.

O I fixed it. I just factory reset my phone and it worked. It was my dad's idea..

I also have G925F.
Open Samsung Kies on your computer, plug your phone in. Select tools then firmware upgrade and intilisation. Let it do its thing. I was in same place but not because up super SU but because of the Dm verity.zip i forgot to flash over the top of TWRP.
I tried all sorts going back to stock worked to get it running. And I wont be messing with root on Sammy devices anymore. Too much to go wrong, and most tuts at rooting are not complete. Get a One

I just installed the cyanogen 10 mod to my blaze and tried it. i went to this file manager that told me to reroot my phone so that I may be able to use it better. I went to odin to reroot it again but i accidentally used the original blaze.pit file on it and when it rebooted it showed me the original samsung starter instead of the cyanogen mod starter. That wasn't the problem, the problem was it never went in to the phones home screen or apps. Instead it continues to show the samsung logo and the flying android over and over again. I tried using the SGH-T769-hitsquad tar file to fix it (i need to mention that i bricked it once before and used this tar file to fix it) but it keeps taking me to the samsung logo. I can't even try to factory restore it because it just starts acting strange when I go to the menu. I can still go into download mode, i've gone searching for a file or anything to help me fix it but i can't find anything. Please, any suggestions?!
Here's a link to stock Tmo Blaze tar's from GB to ICS. ICS is the UVLH5 file. I suggest download that one.. then flash that file through odin.. dont include a Blaze pit file. just PDA file which is the one you'll download.
EDIT:
They're the ones ontop of the page that says Firmwares for SGH-T769 - USA (T-Mobile)
Let me know if it works for you.

Yeah, all you need is to reflash cwm through odin or if you still have cwm just flash a superuser or supersu zip.

Just use that superuser.zip file, unless you want SuperSU, which I think it's better,

Same problem, as far as i know, i went to see the geeks and at the end, after several forwards, the last one told me to send the phone on guarantee back to google.
In his own words, that happen to the nexus 5, after flash it, doesn't reconize the usb/sd anymore, so the flash process can't be done, i will try to attach a OTG usb, and see whats happend.

Are either of you able to get into the bootloader on your device and access fastboot mode? If you can still access fastboot mode then you can flash the latest Nexus 5 Factory Image (Which will restore your device to factory out-of-the-box condition) to restore your device. Let me know if you still have any questions about the process or otherwise I'll be happy to help.
try reinstalling the cwm/twpm. wipe the device completely. and put new rom
Hello I'm a user of a Sky Vega Iron (IM-A870)
And I need desperate help.
It's not an ordinary boot loop I wish it was, here's the story.
I rooted my phone just to let you know.
So I installed the wrong version of cwd recovery on my phone and so when I go into recovery mode the screen will turn like this.
imgurDOTcom/iOFieHG (sorry I can't you links yet cause I'm new)
But it wasn't a big deal I just didn't use it.
Now is the deal I decided to update my phone to stock kitkat that the vega devs supported themselves with vega station(the stock updating app)
And when it started installing it suddenly went into cwm.
I wasn't that worried at the moment just tried pulling the battery out and rebooting but...it started a boot loop.
I can't navigate cwm because of the way it is and I'm stuck. Is there another way to factory reset? or to get out of the loop?
Maybe a way to get rid of cwm and get back to stock recovery mode? Please help I need help until tomorrow! (personal reasons)
I searched online hours for solutions yet I can't find one.
Please help. I'm begging anyone out there.
Thank You

you would need to get to one of 2 places, i thought you couldn't get to either, settings (from booted up) or recovery.
but factory resetting would only remove any data, it will not restore any files or fix your busted cwm.

i cant say that for sure, all im saying is, factory reset does nothing more than wipe data.
if there is an issue in there causing your problem, then yes it will fix it. if your problem is caused by a software issue, then no it will not.

what variant of vega iron you were using and what rom youre trying to flash?
htt p:// www .tomsguide.com/us/samsung-galaxy-s6-guide,review-2856-3. html
I followed that guide and then I did everything.
Now my phone is stuck in the boot screen and on the top it says " Recovery Is not Seandroid Enforcing" w/ red letters.
Is there anyway I can get my phone back without deleting anything? I forgot to backup some pictures and is there anyway I can access them right now or recover my phone without restoring it?
I have the SM-G920F and Android 5.1.1
I'm willing to pay 20$ in paypal money to someone who can really help me.
I had so many pictures saved
Update: I just flashed TWRP v.2.8.7.1 on my phone and It worked. What do I do from here?

Does it say "Recovery Is not Seandroid Enforcing" on the top?
What version of the S6 you have and what android version?
My problem was that I did the CF root on my 5.1.1 device and that's why the problem occurred. What did you do?
galaxys6root.highonandroid.com/cwmtwrp-recovery/ <-- I downloaded the Twrp for my phone and flashed it
after that I got android SDK tools and followed this guide www. howtogeek.com/125769/how-to-install-and-use-abd-the-android-debug-bridge-utility/
After that, I went on this thread and downloaded this guys tool to backup my photos
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2339530
After all my photos were backed up, I went on SamMobile and downloaded the stock firmware/rom for my device (SM-G920F)
after the download was finished, I flashed it with ODIN and only used AP for the flash.
It all worked! After I flashed it, my phone was like how it was before. All my settings and apps and pictures were still there!

What i did? I was on 5.1.1, flashed CF-autoroot for 5.0.2 (WHICH WAS VERY DUMB), flashed XtreStoLite bootloader and modem, installet XtreStoLite rom for my phone. Worked very good, the second day while charging, my phone went to samsung logo and since that i can't open it. I have tried almost everything. I have also tried Kies/Smart Switch and that doesn't help me also.
Can you please help me?
Hi All,
I a strange thing happened yesterday. My S6 got stuck and when I did a force restart it ended up in a boot loop. To worsen the problem my device had reactivation enabled. I found out that my recovery is not loading also. I guess its due to the reactivation security.
So far I have tried the following:
1. Tried to install the stock firmware
2. Tried to install new stock firmware (marshmellow)
3. Tried Kies and Smart Connect (did not do anything)
I'm pretty much clueless at this point. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advanced...
Any captains to help?
Maybe try flashing ONLY the 'recovery.img' inside the firmware file, and if you can get into the stock recovery after that then clear cache and wipe, then try to flash firmware again

Thank you very much for the input. Do you feel that when I flash the original firmware it did not apply the recovery.img that was inside the tar ball? I could manage to create a tar ball with only the recovery image but in that case will it trigger the knox counter and void warranty?
Again, I really appreciate your feedback. Thanks mate
BTW I tried with both Odin and smart connect. Nothing helped. They both complete and say it went well but after restart its simply another boot loop
When you flash stock with odin it should say pass and should boot or visit Samsung for fix

One quick question before I flash this and trip knox. On your device was Reactivation set to ON?
I was not worried about Knox so much so did not pay attention to it. What Warranty Custom ROMs FTW
Where does it mention Reactivation ? In Download mode ?
I can check later when the misses gets home for ya
One thing I did notice is every recovery I have tried the ones that work now say "recovery not selinux enforcing" or something along those lines..(when entering recovery)

Ha ha, very true about Knox. And yes in download mode it shows if Reactivation is ON or OFF. The purpose is to not allow anyone to factory reset the device if this is turned on. Hence the unavailability of the recovery mode.
I would really appreciate it if you could check and let me know. Thanks in advance mate

Sorry for the silence on this. But I decided to hand over the device for warranty claim. At no point I did trip Knox so they accepted for warranty claim process. Ideally I should get it back end of this week.
I will update you all on this matter as soon as I have more details.

Thanks for the info. But as mentioned recovery is not available in Reactiation - ON mode. Its a security feature they provide to prevent people from stealing your phone.
Can't you disable reactivation lock by deleting your Samsung account ? : http://androiding.how/unable-to-disable-reactivation-lock-on-galaxy-s6-try-this-fail-safe-trick/
