Hi, I'm a noob and I broke my phone. I have a Galaxy S6 SM-G920F that is rooted, it also have TWRP recovery on it.
Basically I was in TWRP recovery and I Advanced wiped internal memory. I downloaded the correct OS firmware off Sammobile and tried flashing it using Odin v3.10.6, everything looked fine and dandie but halfway through the installation something went wrong, I think either the phone or the software crashed I really don't have a clue but now my phone has this blue error message on the screen saying something about Emergency Software Recovery. Thanks in advance

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.
I realize i'm stupid af but here's what happened: I was trying to flash a custom rom to my SM-G920F galaxy s6 and accidentally uninstalled my OS. This morning I attempted to flash G920FXXU2POGN to my galaxy 6, I have no idea what the original software was. Everything was going fine until the last minute when hidden.img appeared in the odin log and the flash failed. My device now reads: An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software. However, neither smart switch of kies 3.0 support my device!! My device is still bootable into download mode. Please please please help. I've only had this thing for a day and I've already broken it.

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-G920F then input your serial number (Found on your device Box, remember to connect your phone on download mode) then voila, it should download and install the latest firmware for you. hope it helps!

Here are official firmwares for your device. Boot your device into download mode and connect your phone, it should show up in Odin, then select the file you downloaded from sammobile and flash it from there. If you get any errors, please post the log here and I'll take a look at it.
good afternoon forum friends, recently I have had a big problem with a samsung on5 sm-g550T from Tmobile which will install the twrp, then proceeded to root to install the foldermount app and pass data from the games to the sd, the problem is that after the root and install the app the phone suffered a softbrick since it did not go beyond the t-mobile logo, I made a noob error and from the TWRP I made a total full wipe , after that the phone when it came to the samsung logo remained the black screen.
I have tried to solve flashing the following firmwares with odin 3.11. - 3.11.1 and 3.12

https://mega.nz/#!6pIVWKqb!AwIAAAQhFwGEcbVSx6FShLuaoCWB9JMTWCVqWSaak0U
but all give me error at the moment of starting the process of flashing the odin mark fail, I leave captures of the error and the exact model of the team, also try flashing only the recovery first extracting the same from the Md5 with the 7zip but now the phone every time I turn it on, it sends me an error in red letters that you can also see in the capture. The truth is that I am getting desperate and I run out of ideas if someone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it.

ready and solve only I had to flash this firmware that was correct for the version of t mobile sm-g550t

I rooted my phone a a few days ago and now I'm trying to get back the official firmware which should be possible.
I flashed TWRP, SuperSU and "no-verity something".
Yesterday I tried to unroot my phone and I saw in a tutorial I only have to press the fully unroot button in SuperSU and it should work.
Well it did, but I still couldn't open Snapchat I thought it was TWRP. I saw that I need root access to uninstall TWRP. I tried to flash SuperSU once again and then my phone just gave up.
It didn't break or something, but when I boot my phone normally it I get an error message, I have a german phone... I can't translate it perfectly, but it says some "integrity check" has failed and I have to factory reset my phone. That's where the problems started.
When I press the "reset" button, it tries to factory reset my phone, but I think it can't read internal memory. When I connect it to my PC it only shows my SD card.
When I go to wipe on TWRP it shows "internal memory 0MB" and I think it has some difficulties reading the internal memory.
My question is, is there a possibility to get the J710FN firmware and all the things back, like the original recovery and all the things.
I tried to flash the original global firmware via ODIN3 v3.12.3 but it fails. My phone says "SW REV CHECK FAIL Device: 4 Binary: 3"
I just want to get back the original firmware without any rooted things so my phone works again.
Oh and I tried to factory reset it in case somebody thinks that's the problem.
Factory resetting doesn't work, because I THINK my phone can't read the internal memory.
I really hope someone can help me.
You can ask me any kind questions for information you need to gather to help me.
Thank you in advance!
I think sw rev check fail (software reverse)mean's that you are trying to flash an out dated firmware (in comparison to the firmware that your phone has on it now)Your phone will block you trying to downgrade your firmware.
Before you do anything you could try the emergency software update and Initialisation in smart switch,I think you need is your phone's serial number(if you still have the box i will be on there)
If all else fail's you could try downloading the most up to date software from sammobile and flash it with the most up to date version of odin you can find
