Samsung Galaxy S6 UK, Locked To Vodafone
SM-G920F Android 6.0.1 (I maybe incorrect)
Basically I tried to root my phone and It seems I bodged it.
I used a guide called 'Root Galaxy S6 G920I and S6 Edge G925I on Marshmallow and Install TWRP' on Droidviews. (I cant post links due to me being a new member)
After completing all the steps my phone was stuck in an endless loading screen loop.
I then used the backup I created via the guide.
After that was completed I restarted my phone and got a message in red text in the top left hand corner of the screen saying 'recovery is not seandroid enhancing'.
I then started to panic as this is a new phone so I did a factory reset on the device.
This changed nothing.
Please help me as at this time my phone is bricked.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
(I know about a potential method via Odin but I dont want to do anything without specific help in case I don any more damage)
Anyone?

RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING
Set Warranty Bit: recovery
I have a good experience in flashing , odin and all this recovery stuff but i have never seen mobile not even getting into recovery...as last resort i thought of flashing the official rom image from odin .. but when i tried it showed me FAIL message in red box where connected shows...and in log it said -
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. If it just failed it sounds to me like it's a hardware issue. But I see you've also posted here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...very-seandroid-enforcing-please-help-t3137739 That's the best place to ask as they are the experts on your device.
I'm going to close this thread.

Hello everyone, and thanks for taking the time to attempt to help me.
Earlier today, my T-Mobile Galaxy S5 updated to 5.1.1. I searched google and came across a few links on how to root my phone (G900T) - The one I ended up using was CF-AutoRoot
I used Odin 3.07, used the tar5 file from that site above where I downloaded the root, and attempted to root the phone. Odin says everything worked as planned ''passed'' was displayed with 0 fails. I waited about 20 minutes, but my phone never rebooted, it was stuck in a boot logo loop ' 'Samsung Galaxy S5 powered by Android'' or ''T-Mobile'' was displayed.
I tried going into recovery and reseting all data / factory wipe but that didn't help, and made it even worse. Now my phone says this when I try to turn it on: ''Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again''
How do I go about getting back to stock firmware , that is rootable, so I can then proceed to install CyanogenMod?
EDIT: I used Kies and was able to get back to stock firmware and the phone turns on.
Can anyone recommend a reliable root for the G900T S5?

Hello and thank you for using XDA Assist.
It's good to hear that you managed to revive your phone. Many of us find it convenient to install a custom recovery such as TWRP which makes backing up and restoring, switching ROMs, and many such activities much easier. XDA happens to have an active and friendly area dedicated to the Samsung Galaxy S5, and specifically to the T-Mobile version at http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5. I suggest you search that area or simply post your question in the Q&A forum there at http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/help where our experts will be most likely to be able to guide you.
Hello all,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 Canadian Version SM-G920W8 (Manitoba Telecom Systems). I tried to use Kingroot (apk, downloaded and installed directly on my phone) and my phone restarted. It is stuck at the start screen where it shows the Samsung Galaxy name and logo, but in the top right corner there is a message that states:
"Kernel is not Seandroid Enforcing"
I was on 5.1.1 firmware.
Can anyone provide me with detailed instructions on how to factory restore the phone (since I assume the problem can't be fixed otherwise). I don't know where to download the firmware from, but I did download Odin3 v3.10.7 and installed the latest Samsung drivers. I'm on a Windows PC with Vista installed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I don't mind donating to someone if that helps.
Thanks.
The message "kernel is not Seandroid enforcing" is normal in Root.
Recovery and Factory Reset or flash this firmware with Odin:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/61378/G920W8VLU3BOK1_G920W8OYA3BOK1_GLW/
Before nevertheless a Factory Reset!
I used Cf and tried rooting my s6 with Odin, and it showed the rooting screen and according to Odin it said pass, but now my phone is stuck on the startup screen and it doesnt move any forward. I tried rooting again with the file, but the same thing happens again. It doesn't turn on or off. Its not bricked thankfully since I can still access odin scree, but my phone doesnt start up. Its an SM-G920F from United Arab Emirates which was running android 7.0
Does anyone have a successful firmware for me to root this with? Please help, thanks.
I have a little problem and I do not know how to solve
I have a samsung galaxy s6 edge plus sm-g928g, a few days ago I became a root user and today trying to install a rom I jump blue screen of "And error has occurred while updating the device software"
Whatever you do, that screen appears, followed by a tutorial installing an earlier version of the current smart switch (because the current one does not let me) and I jump that "smart switch does not support initialization" investigate and apparently I can not put the software with smart switch because my knox counter is not 0 since the device was rooted
Also try odin, but when I put the device to not be in download mode does not catch the odin (since I get that screen shot of "And error has occurred while updating the device software"
I'm too lost and desperate with the subject and I have no budget to buy another cell phone
