Hello. Last week I bricked my Samsung Galaxy S6 when trying to install TWRP recovery. It was the wrong recovery but luckily I unbricked it by flashing the original recovery with Odin.
I really want a custom recovery on my S6 but I'm afraid I will brick it again.
Can anyone please find which recovery will work on my phone?
P.S. it's a straighttalk phone (Galaxy S6) running on android 5.0.2 lollipop and the model is the SM-S906L
I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks! :good:

Hello! First time post. I just rooted my Samsung Galaxy s5 verizon today, and this forum has proven very helpful. Now I am trying to install a custom recovery mod like TWRP or CWM because it seems this is essential for rooted users. Anyways I am new to this and don't have very advanced technical programming skills so I would really appreciate some help here. So far I've read that verizon version of this phone has strict permissions and haven't found a method for installing TWRP or CWM that works. I've done quite a bit of searcing, if someone could point me in the right direction that would be appreciated!
I've tried using the ROM manager app, TWRP manager app, and also tried to find a version of TWRP to flash. I got close with the TWRP manager but it asks me to "Ensure partition listed below is correct one for your device.... if not then you could brick...." directory is dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery is this correct? I am worried this may not be the correct method, or directory, and couldn't find my answer online.
thanks in advance
here is what i found:
galaxys5root.com has a method for installing safestrap.
worked on my galaxy s5 g900v
apparently there's still no TWRP or CWM available ?
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. The Verizon S5 is indeed locked down pretty tight, you can't unlock the bootloader or install TWRP or CWM recovery. Safestrap is the way to go:

First of all, Verizon S4 lollipop has a locked bootloader so you won't be able to flash TWRP or custom ROMs.
If you can get to download mode then flash the i545 stock lollipop firmware via Odin(same as you have or newer, you can't flash any older builds than what you have because of the bootloader).
Then you'll have to use Safestrap Recovery and modified stock TW(TouchWiz) ROMs.
You can find information and instructions for all that in the two development subforums in the Verizon S4 forum linked below.

I'v been looking around and haven't found anything. I didn't know this, but guess model just came out in January of 2017? I've flashed TWRP 3.0.2 to it, but TWRP won't boot. Did I just **** my phone up or can I do a factory reset from my settings and will I get my Stock recovery back?
Hi !
This is a twrp thread for your devices but you MUST ask there if it supports your DEVICE VARIANT
I see that you`re getting help here as well , as has been told , never do a factory reset from setings when you`re using a custom rom
The stock firmware should be found on Samsung`s firmwares website
Cheers !
