So i recently rooted my i925 with this universal method...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2403230
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCBLOhWavT0
Then I decided to try and run the casuall "Jailbreak" software to get a custom recovery and unlocked bootloader and i just checked "I did it" during the root portion since I already was... and now I'm soft bricked. I can only get into the download mode and tried flashing with odin but no luck might be doing something wrong... Also tried following the cyanogen instructions which involve flashing a cwm recovery in download mode but still no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! If I hold power the screen will just flash the download mode screen on and off. I pulled the back off and pulled power. No difference.
Any ideas guys? This is the first time I've bricked anything since I've been here and it's got me pretty worried...
Still stuck is anyone has any ideas.

I would retry ODIN with the original VRAMK1 firmware available from sammobile.com. If that doesn't work tell us what error you are getting.

Maybe try Heimdall commandline. You can flash individual pieces.

Hi there, you should download smart switch and use emergency firmware recovery, From there you should click 'more' then click emergency software recovery. Key in your device SM-G920W8 then input your serial number (Found on your device Box) then voila, it should download the latest firmware for you.

well, pointing him in a more accurate direction would be much better i guess, no harm intended!
I had a similar issue the solution for me was to install twrp 2.8.7.1 recovery using Odin as my phone lacked stock recovery and would not flash firmware as a consequence.
Sent from my SM-G920W8 using XDA Free mobile app

maybe you should consider bringing your device to Samsung?
I have the exact same problem right now. SM-G920F, tried to root, epic fail, tried to unroot, still a disaster. Smart Switch won't recognize my phone. Trying to download the latest firmware now, but it takes so long.. -_- will keep you posted if I find anything that works!

Supposedly you can't flash that 5.0.2 firmware is because your bootloader is already 5.1.1, therefore you can't downgrade the software, but i saw on Sammobile that Canada is going to get the update soon, so i guess you can use Smart Switch's emergency recovery to restore your phone soon.
So when you started what baseband were you on? Did you update to 5.1.1 I don't care if you did it via a ROM just did you update to 5.1.1 officially or did your phone come with 5.1.1 if it did you need to download the 5.1.1 firmware not the 5.0.2 firmware because of the new bootloader.
Edit: You could always use my guide which can be found here to make your own tar file that doesn't flash any bootloader only system, kernel, and recovery you will also get the latest Note 5 UI this may help you in case everything else fails.

And I think I flashed CF-Root correctly. Tried to boot, Recovery is not seandroid enforcing. I then flashed TWRP 2.8.7.1 (the .img one) and now it proceeds to recovery after boot screen.
I tried restarting to system with TWRP and it went into a bootloop.
Am I on the right track? I mean is it supposed to be like that until I do a factory reset? I'm scared cause the ROM is still downloading lol how do I put it in the device's internal memory? Will I be able to in Download Mode?
On a PC running Windows XP right now, Samsung's USB Drivers don't seem to work whatsoever. I'll try it on my laptop and we'll see.
(p.s. should I have opted for the one-click rooting and stuff? Idk the guide tells me to do it via Odin so yea lol)
Since you were on 5.0.2 you could've used the PingPongRoot to easily root your phone. I did that but then after a while I thought I want a custom ROM so I updated to 5.1.1 and tried to use odin to root my phone but got the same issue as you.
After a few hours of struggeling I got out of the bootloop by doing an emergency software recovery from Smart Switch. However I'm not sure if it will recover to 5.0.2 or download the latest 5.1.1 in your case.
Nonetheless when I got my phone to work again I just flashed UniKernel with TWRP and then I was rooted.
I wont touch odin ever again I'm too nooby for that and it caused me to panic so hard with that goddamn bootloop.
I hope you get it solved!
Hello, at this point I don't care about rooting my phone. I would just like to fix it and restore it back to normal.
I have a Galaxy S6 Edge. The thing that's wrong with my phone is that it's on a boot loop and it can't go into recovery mode (or boot loader what ever its called). It also says when on the Samsung screen boot loop (RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING)
My model is G925TUVU2COF8 and it's running 5.1.1. Every time I try to flash my firmware in odin 3.10.6 I always get this:

Can somebody please help!
if you need your phone fast fixed, you could flash custom recovery and adb push a rom, for the odin problem idk..., after latest bootloader got myself a strange odin flash bug if i try to flash a stock rom :/
"My model is G925TUVU2COF8"
That's not the model, that's a firmware version.
Your model number is the G925T. Which is the tmobile S6 edge. The F8 firmware is 4 months old, which is probably why it's not working for you, you may unintentionally be trying to downgrade. You need G925TTMB3DOI1 firmware. You can get it here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/56137/G925TUVU3DOI1_G925TTMB3DOI1_TMB/ or google for a faster dl source.
It's fixed now!!! Thank you so much!
Sboot.bin is the bootloader part of firmware. Only the latest firmware will fix this issue. Glad your issue is now okay.
I'm trying to use CF Auto Root, rooted phones previously with no issue, however this device has been nothing but problems. People have rooted this variant with no issue so I'm not sure what my issue is.
I've removed my Google account and all security, and factory reset the device. Not sure how to proceed.

I'm not sure why you're using CF Auto Root as this doesn't work for your model that's why it's been nothing but problems... Have you not followed the root thread for instructions?
You're trying to flash an unsigned recovery on a locked bootloader. That's your error.
