I have flashed several kernels and I finally got one to work in the Aurora kernel but when I installed superSU my phone booted to the fist screen and is stuck. I have flashed twrp-2.8.7.0-nobleltespr.img, but this does nothing. I have tried to reflash the kernel and the recovery to no avail. I am a little lost, please help. I cannot even get back into my phone at this point.
Thanks
Reflash cf auto root in odin but don't odin or flash twrp and you'll be good to go
Also wait these things out they take 5 to 25mins sometimes i kept restarting before cfauto would even pop up then i re tried waited longer and it worked.

My phone wont leave the bootlogo with the phrase kernel is not seandroid enforcing. I installed twrp by flashify and installed a custom rom. The rom never booted completely and i cant get back to Recovery only download. I flashed twrp back through odin and still stuck at bootlogo. Any ideas?

What custom rom did you try to flash and what android version were you on when you tried to flash?
If your on a 5.1.1 bootloader and you tried to flash 5.0.2 then thats why your bricked. Your going to have to odin of7 firmware.

It sounds like a soft brick to me. Soft bricks are normally recoverable because you can actually still boot into download mode and reflash the stock firmware. A hard brick is unrecoverable. Not unless you want to spend some money to get it fixed. I hard bricked my S3 when I first got it because I didn't read carefully and I flashed a kernel that was meant for an international S3. I just had the phone sent to Samsung and they fixed it because it was a "hardware failure" and they said it was their fault even though it wasn't lol. I have soft bricked my phone at least 3 or 4 times including my S6 on the second day of having it and have recovered from it. If you can get into download mode then you are good to go.
Hi. Just got a Note2 which was running 4.4.2
I downloaded Odin3-v3.07 and got root access. I then used a checker to confirm.
From there, I used the TWRP Manager to install 2.8.7.0.
I think this is where things went wrong. I know I selected the correct phone model, but it gave me an error saying something went wrong ( I think it said something about me having the latest TWRP) . Then my phone rebooted and took me into TWRP.
I made a backup and tried to flash the CM12 rom for sgh-i317m.
That's when I noticed I couldn't get out of TWRP. Rebooting or pulling the battery has no effect. Phone keeps booting into TWRP. I tried wiping delvic cache, cache and other things, but no matter what I do I can't boot into the OS. I tried restoring and it says it was successful, but again am stuck in TWRP. I've now spent the last hour searching for a way to get out and still can't find a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Notes:
Not sure if this has anything to do with it, but I had forgotten to enable USB debugging when I was in my OS.
Another thing I noticed is when I open the terminal command, there's a running boot script error: E:/sbin/runatboot.sh process ended with ERROR=1
Problem resolved: I booted into download mode and used Odin to root again. That seem to overwrite whatever was causing the Note 2 to be stuck booting into TWRP.
I enabled USB debugging and installed TWRP again. Got the same error but this time chose not to reboot into recovery. Then I rebooted manually, and the phone boots into the OS. I powered down and held Vol up + power + menu and released power button at Samsung logo, and was successful in booting into TWRP. Exited and rebooted took me back to the OS. So I'm not quite sure what it was the first time around that got me stuck into booting TWRP everytime.
Glad you got it fixed! :good:
I'll close this thread.
Dear all,
I have read through most (if not all) the other "bricked" device threads, but they don't really fit my problem.
I was on TWRP (sthg) and CM 12.1 (latest) here from the forum.
Everything worked fine for ages.Yesterday I used the device to the latest miliAmpere and only later the connected the complete empty Tab to the Power and restarted it.
Next morning the device showed "Encryption failed" and something that I have to do a factory reset. There was a "reset"-button, but I didn't used it and shutted down the Tab via the power Off function.
Since then the device is not reacting. Currently it is bootlooping into TWRP (!). I cannot switch it off and it actually gets rather hot. The only way to stop this "cycle of death" is to go to download mode...
I already tried to change the recovery to CWM and also to TWRP again via ODIN. ODIN worked fine, but I still cannot start the recovery. TWRP makes a boot loop with its logo and CWM loops without showing anything.
I wonder what will be the next best steps. Odin is working fine, so I don't want to ruin that as well.
What do you think? Is the Bootloader corrupt?
Why does it always boot into recovery (I can't get into a System-Bootloop)?
Any help is really appreciated!
Best,
Jan
After I have reinstalled the original firmware from sammobile, I could boot into recovery. I then factory reseted, flashed TWRP via ODIN and switched back to CM12.1.
I lost all my data, but at least I still have my Tab
Best,

First off, I cannot boot into recovery so this isn't an option for me right now.
Phone: T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920T)
Firmware: Lollipop 5.0.2 or 5.1.1
**Not sure because I factory reset it this morning after updating to 5.1.1 yesterday.
Brick happened later in the day today.**
Rom: Successfully flashed TWRP this morning before brick occurred
Rooted: Yes, with Xposed Framework installed as well
So I rooted my S6 yesterday with no issue, then flashed TWRP today so that I could install Xposed. That went well until I downloaded a few modules in Xposed, rebooted my phone and the System UI kept crashing and wouldn't open. I entered recovery mode and attempted a factory reset through TWRP. Rebooted and got stuck at the Samsung logo with the "IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING" message above it still, so the wipe clearly wasn't successful. After that I realized my phone was bricked/in a bootloop or whatever so I kept trying to wipe it in various ways in TWRP. I even went into advanced wipe mode and selected every option (system, data, dalvick, cache, etc...even internal storage unfortunately, which I think screwed me).
Finally gave up and went into Odin (using latest version, 3.12) and flashed the SAME stock firmware I did the last time this happened (it worked then but not this time). Basically no matter how many times I try to flash stock firmware, Odin either gets stuck or fails. Tried both a G920T firmware tar.md5 file for 5.0.2 AND 5.1.1 and the 5.1.1 says passed every time but STILL does not get past the Samsung Logo screen ("SEANDROID NOT ENFORCING" message is gone now though, so I figure it did something) and the 5.0.2 firmware files just say fail every time. For some reason every time this happens all I can do is force restart the phone and enter download mode via HOME+VOL DOWN+POWER buttons but it just stays on the logo screen when I hold down the HOME+VOL UP+POWER buttons to enter recovery.
So I'm pretty much in a pickle. I'm at a total loss. I've done everything I know to do for the last 6 hours, including deleting the .md5 from the firmware files and all that mess. Can't find a .pit file in the firmware zip after it's extracted either and I've seen some threads say that I need one. I'm afraid this phone is a goner, so if anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Thank you in advance!
Hi !
I just want to be sure that you`ve followed the exact steps described here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/how-to-unroot-unbrick-galaxy-s6-t3110608
Good luck !
Wiped everything and have no back ups anymore. Cant figure out how to install a rom. TWRP and Download mode still work but No matter what I flash I get stuck at samsung loading screen. Halp?!
Trying to get Tekxodus installed on my N920T which currently has nothing on it.
Still can not figure out what Im doing wrong. I wiped internal storage which I know I shouldnt have but when I flash Tekxodus I get caught in a bootloop until the phone powers off to charge. Even flashing skyhigh kernal after the rom does nothing. Still boot looping.
Use download mode to Odin back to stock. Then re-send twrp. Let it boot first. Then go back to twrp and flash your rom
I was able to restore a stock rom, install twrp successfully but this rom (teksodus) does not boot no matter how I flash it. Stuck at samsung screen again but this time on a custom samsung load screen. If I flash a new kernal I get stuck at the black samsung screen. Haha its been too long since Ive done this.
Got it all sorted, thanks!
