Take a break from ODIN and install "Smart Switch for PC or Mac". Go to "more" on top right corner and do a software reinitialize. Type in your phone's model e.g. SM-G920F, hit search, type in your phone's serial number, and it will download and flash the latest ROM straight from Samsung.
Search this in Google for a YouTube video "samsung smart switch initialization" to get the picture of how easy this is going to be.
If it doesn't work, then go back to odin, assuming you have the proper ROM, and check the nand erase option. Do not check the repartition option!!!
BTW, @ronnie498, this thread probably belongs to the Q&A section, not the general section. Thanks.

Thank You very much for your reply, but that didnt work. Smart switch keeps saying "Please Check the model name and S/N, and enter them again" doe i put the right S/N printed at the back of my S6. As for re-trying odin with the "nand erase all" option checked, odin passed but my S6 SM-G920F is still stuck in a bootloop with no recovery. Just ODIN download mode.
:crying: :crying:
920F is international, but there are so many variations of those. Is it a European version? UK model? Maybe try Samung Kies3 this time. Before you uninstall Smart Switch to install Kies3, try the SM-G920F and your S/N once more making sure all letters are CAPs and things like the letter o is not miss typed by a zero or visa versa. If it says mismatch again, uninstall Smart Switch and try Samsung Kies3 this time.
Meanwhile, do you remember what ROM your phone was on when it was working? Was it Android 5.0.1 or 5.1.1 or 6.0.1? Any other info on the original ROM or last working one?

Samsung Kies doesnt even recognize the model name, as for Smart Switch yh; it still gives me "Please Check the model name and S/N, and enter them again" and i ensured i typed the S/N accurately.
and its a UK model, and No i do not have an idea of the ROM that initially on it before the crash.
What are you writing for model name?

Hi....
It's about my Samsung Galaxy S6 live demo which i bought some 6 months ago. It was working fine as a G920F. I could make calls, use whatsapp everything.In short, it was a full featured galaxy s6. At that time time i was noob. I didn't know anything about rooting-flashing. I thought retailer has sold me just a rooted phone that's why my software is not updating. I went for custom upgrade, started with super user full unroot, nothing happened. I rebooted and at once device started boot loop and was stuck. I tried everything but nothing helped. I saw a forum
" https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...er-thread-guides-firmwares-t3267738?nocache=1 "
It helped me in knowing it was a demo unit and guided to flash it to stock and then to g920 F but after doing everything whatever it said disabling retail mode updating software in stock demo firmware, I can't flash G920F rom. Whenever I flash via odin it passes but stucks on Samsung live demo screen and on opening recovery mode says "Dm-verity verification failed.. check drk first " and else there is nothing...I am stuck on logo screen :crying:
My s6 was on Android 5.0.2
Firmware was G920FXWU2B0G8
Please help! I am crying :'( I bought it expensive... :"( ... Please help....

DM verity verification failure happens when your bootloader detects that there have been modifications made to the device that it deems to be unsafe.
Your 2 options are:
1) find the correct original firmware to flash via Odin and hope it works.
Or
2) let Samsung repair or replace the device.

What could be the correct original firmware for a demo version?
Also the boot screen even after flashing shows same galaxy logo witha live demo unt written on it...
Is there a way to bypass dm-verity verification? Somehow block the bootloader from detecting modification?
Please help... :"(

No, there's no way to trick the bootloader.
