Galaxy S6 only boots in TWRP - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

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.

[Completed] Note 4 recovery capped

I am having some serious troubles with upgrading my Galaxy Note 4 SM-910P (Sprint). All was well in rooting, un-rooting, etc... I have the original 4.4.4 and the new 5.0 backed up and now I can't use anything other than the firmware the original firmware package through Odin. The problem started when I installed the [ROM]ViSiON-X N4 SPR 5.0.1 [Android L 5.0][N910PVPU1BOB7-R1][03-11-15]. It installed fine but when ever I was not watching it a problem occurred such as getting locked out of ny ext SD, or just plain un-rooting itself. It finally came down to it just kicked my device into download mode and would not reboot. I did used chains Odin root method and installed TWRP, which I can still do but can not flash or restore from TWRP or CWM recovery. It will take the firmware package fine and download the 5.0 update but always gets stopped from any other upgrade at recovery be it stock or custom. I have even used Kies to try and upgrade a few time. It will upgrade from NK1 to NK2 but still will not upgrade anything else past recovery. Every time I reboot I lose my WIFI password. After every boot it takes a minute for any network to be able to reach the device. It is paused until I re enter my WiFi password then it will say that Android is done upgrading and there is a toast message that says "device is set to factory mode some items won't work on this mode set device to user mode". Can someone please tell me how to set my device to user mode or erase what ever is lockled in my device between download and recovery. The issue I described with the device wanting to stay in download mode and how to handle it is described her http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59372208&postcount=3 but as I mentioned I can't get passed anything that is not firmware through Odin. If I had to be locked in one version forever I would have preferred it be 5.0
I figured it out

I fianlly figured out the deal with TWRP not flashing.
The change between file systems is what TWRP won't flash.
To flash into the new, the old, or back up property check the file type.
Ext 2, Ext 4, F2FS, etc ...
To get recovery to load install from odin with auto boot disabled, remove battery, than vol + - menu and power.
the steps below..
1. Power off (complete) boot to download.
2. Load Odin, uncheck auto reboot, PDA TWRP. after it installs pull battery to exit.
3. Boot to recovery - wipe- advanced wipe -Repairor Change File System - Check System (go thruough each)
4. Repair and change each to the file type you want to flash
5. repair and or change the files for the zip you are going to flash
6. you have done all the rest before ....
Issue resolved, thread closed, thanks.

5.1.1 means your phone has a sytem write protection, so it tried to reboot into recovery itself after auto-reboot => bootloop.
Do you have TWRP installed?
If not, flash Unikernel (you need a custom kernel with this bootloader) and TWRP, then use TWRP to wipe/factory reset and flash any ROM.

Use TWRP to wipe cache/dalvik and do a factory reset-
did you check the ROM you used was for your special device, and checked its md5-sum?
I personally would try downloading another one and flash again; once it works, do a backup in TWRP; very easy and done in 3mins.
Maybe you should try to manually log on to your network to see if this works first, in "network settings" tap the line to automatically choose your provider; should be it.
I used 4-file G920FXXU2COI1, after reboot phone not started so I flash Unikernel via Odin, now phone is turned on, but sometimes touchwiz was stopped, maps was stopped etc, phone find my network, but I can't logged
After wipe in TWRP phone stuck on Samsung logo

Samsung S6 stuck in boot loop

Hello,
I am new to rooting so I hope what i say makes sense.
I recently rooted my Samsung galaxy s6 G920IDVU3EPC6 yesterday. After seeing a update notification pop up it took me to twrp where I tried everything to get out of it, install the .zip thing. reboot. Nothing would get me out of the twrp menu. stupidly, I did an advanced wipe and it appears I got rid of all the system files or something like that.
Now the only thing I can do is enter the blue download menu or get stuck on the boot logo screen forever. I have made backups of my files on my PC. How do I get my phone back? please help me!
Hi,
Samsung OTAs (Over The Air) updates won't work on a rooted device. It has rebooted into TWRP, because normally it reboots into it's original Samsung recovery and installs the update. But because TWRP replaces the Samsung recovery, it doesn't work.
And if you have wiped the System partition, you no longer have anything installed. No Android, nothing.
The easiest thing to do would be to flash the original firmware for your device. Then you can do the update, then root your device.
A good habit to get into when you have TWRP installed is to do regular TWRP full backups. That way, if anything happens (like wiping your device), you can just restore that backup from TWRP, and the phone will be exactly as it was, with all partitions intact

Something went wrong here. You can run 'adb logcat' to see the crash details while starting.
If you have a backup on twrp then restore to get phone working. You may need to flash the public and hw-data zips afterwards though.
If you don't have a backup then you could try flashing the C636 off line firmware and then use firmware finder to go back to your original firmware
Sent from my MHA-L09 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
you may just flash the modified recovery ( See Guide subforum ) ) to bypass the update certification and authorization and reflash an original firmware. your stored files will be lost anyway in most cases.
I would bet superuser ( shield ) and SuperSU ( Aurom) messed your boot image. Both are incompatible to each other and, afaik both are incompatible to twrp 3.1.
Flash TWRP 3.0.2.2, reboot to recovery again to change version, flash the rom ( f.e. shield rom), boot once up, reboot to recovery and THEN you may flash twrp 3.1
Thanks all of you guys, I've solved the problem, it seems that's something related to the sd card, I've formated the sd and transfer the files trough another phone and then put the sd on the mate 9, I follow the steps as followed before and works successfully, now I'm on AurRom and 182 firmware.
