As the title already states my Galaxy S6 ( SM-G920F, 6.0.1, rooted) only boots in TWRP and I can't get out of that recovery boot loop. I already tried flashing the stock ROM but I get the SW REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE 4 BINARY 3 fail. Are there any ways to fix this, possibly without losing all my personal data(if not I'd like to know how anyways)?
I can access the download menu and I also tried wiping the Dalvik/ART Cache.
I tried this stock ROM: G920FXXU4DPIL, Switzerland(AUT)
Thanks for taking your time
EDIT: I haven't tried ADB since I'm not sure how to use it correctly and I don't want to screw up even further.
Try G920FXXU5DPLH

Title pretty much says it, I have a custom rom installed which works, but when reboot my phone, TWRP is automatically opened after the initial samsung logo. I usually have to reflash my custom ROM (without wiping any data besides cache and dalvik) and the ROM installer will then reboot into the ROM, however this means when my phone turns off, my recovery is booted up instead of the ROM. I'm really confused
S6 is a SM-G920F / ROM= Tyrannus v 28.1
Some background into the problem - [This is a quote from my previous post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ing-stock-t3423351/post67859895#post67859895] "When i tried flashing however, somehow ODIN froze and i made another stupid mistake of restarting my phone from download mode which resulted in the phone being froze on a screen saying " an error has occurred while updating the device software use the emergency recovery function s6 "
So after this happened i then flashed TWRP with odin to solve the quoted error message and i think it was at that point that the bootloader was configured to initialize recovery on bootup as oppose to the actual ROM, not sure though so any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
TL ;DR : S6 boots recovery instead of ROM - Possibly bootloader error?
Sooo... it fixed itself. All is well.
If anyone else ever has this problem all i can really suggest is perhaps going into terminal on TWRP and writing reboot? However, my one just fixed itself so we all good!
First off, I cannot boot into recovery so this isn't an option for me right now.
Phone: T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920T)
Firmware: Lollipop 5.0.2 or 5.1.1
**Not sure because I factory reset it this morning after updating to 5.1.1 yesterday.
Brick happened later in the day today.**
Rom: Successfully flashed TWRP this morning before brick occurred
Rooted: Yes, with Xposed Framework installed as well
So I rooted my S6 yesterday with no issue, then flashed TWRP today so that I could install Xposed. That went well until I downloaded a few modules in Xposed, rebooted my phone and the System UI kept crashing and wouldn't open. I entered recovery mode and attempted a factory reset through TWRP. Rebooted and got stuck at the Samsung logo with the "IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING" message above it still, so the wipe clearly wasn't successful. After that I realized my phone was bricked/in a bootloop or whatever so I kept trying to wipe it in various ways in TWRP. I even went into advanced wipe mode and selected every option (system, data, dalvick, cache, etc...even internal storage unfortunately, which I think screwed me).
Finally gave up and went into Odin (using latest version, 3.12) and flashed the SAME stock firmware I did the last time this happened (it worked then but not this time). Basically no matter how many times I try to flash stock firmware, Odin either gets stuck or fails. Tried both a G920T firmware tar.md5 file for 5.0.2 AND 5.1.1 and the 5.1.1 says passed every time but STILL does not get past the Samsung Logo screen ("SEANDROID NOT ENFORCING" message is gone now though, so I figure it did something) and the 5.0.2 firmware files just say fail every time. For some reason every time this happens all I can do is force restart the phone and enter download mode via HOME+VOL DOWN+POWER buttons but it just stays on the logo screen when I hold down the HOME+VOL UP+POWER buttons to enter recovery.
So I'm pretty much in a pickle. I'm at a total loss. I've done everything I know to do for the last 6 hours, including deleting the .md5 from the firmware files and all that mess. Can't find a .pit file in the firmware zip after it's extracted either and I've seen some threads say that I need one. I'm afraid this phone is a goner, so if anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Thank you in advance!

Hi mate that error means that the stock firmware you are triyng to install is a lower version than the one on the device, go online and find the most recent version, as for the data just boot to twrp make a backup of data partition, connect the phone to pc twrp as mtp turn on by default and copy the backup to pc, after the flash just reinstall twrp and restore.
Hello guys. I recently flashed TWRP on my s6 using Odin. The first time I did it, it said that I successfully flashed it but I had autoreboot ticked, so I tried to check if my recovery has changed but it was still the stock recovery. So I tried to flash it again now without the autoreboot. It got stuck to the downloading screen even though odin has already finished. So I tried to force shutdown the phone. I tried to go to the recovery again and it was successfully flashed. I installed a new Custom rom and the Gapps (made sure I wipe everything before flashing), cleared the cached and tried to reboot. But to my surprise it was stuck to the TWRP. When I try to boot to system it's just stuck on the Galaxy s6 powered by android.
I'm sure I had the right trwp file and such but I might have made a mistake somewhere. I don't really know. Help guys?
My phone is the Canadian version G920W8
what ROM are you trying to install?
did check if your device is supported before flashing?
My device has been bricked after attempting to root the device using Odin. (Samsung Galaxy S8+)
The device is stuck in a bootloop with the following accompanying error message in red on the boot screen:
"Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed"
Here is what happened:
I flashed TWRP using Prince Comsy Odin. (The only Odin that actually works on the s8+)
I then booted into the TWRP recovery.
I followed a set of instructions, clearing the Cash and wiping
I restarted once then booted back into TWRP using Vol-Up + Power + Bixby
I was preparing to install Magisk & "no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1" according to instructions to complete the root.
After installing "no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1" with TWRP, the system rebooted and i was stuck in a boot loop.
I then got the error message in the bootloop "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed"
Since then i have not been able to successfully re-flash TWRP.
I now cant enter TWRP recovery boot using Vol-Up + Power + Bixby anymore
The bootloop is about 2 seconds long and too short to enter TWRP recovery
I can enter download mode and thats all
I have gotten the EXACT official stock ROM for the galaxy s8+ in South Africa with the carrier, Vodacom. (XFV-G955FXXU4CRL4-20181228165540)
If i flash with any official Odin version, it either fails or doesnt do anything for hours...
If i flash any Official stock Rom using Prince Comsy Odin then i do get the whole process of flashing with stock firmware being successful with the result saying "PASS".
The phone then reboots and i am still stuck in the same loop saying "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed"
This is after countless times and hours and hours of reflashing successfully with Official stock rom
I still cant get back into TWRP to do any partitioning or formatting or anything
I really don't mind if i lose all of my data and format the phone but PLEASE can you help me get my phone to work again..."?
Do i need to wait 7 days for the official flash to work?
Is there a way to completely wipe my phone without requiring going into Recovery mode with TWRP? Since i cant get into that state anymore either because of the Error Knox block or because of the Loop being too fast.
Please, please, PLEASE....please help me get my phone to work again...
Sincerely,
I know that Odin 3.13.1 works on the s8+ G955F as I flashed the latest BTU stock yesterday so try that version. I had a similar problem with the G950F and after flashing the files I booted into recovery mode and did a data and cache wipe and the phone rebooted. Flashing a stock rom should have wiped TWRP from the phone.
Reflash your rom or a later one, don't forget to take the tick out of the auto reboot box in Odin, boot to recovery and wipe everything and hopefully you will be good to go. Rebooting on mine took around 35 mins or so when going back to stock.
