If you flashed a stock firmware successfully it will not boot into twrp, flashing a stock firmware will install stock recovery, which means the stock firmware did not flash properly. Have you tried smart switch at all? Are you sure you have the correct firmware to flash through odin?

Yes I am sorry I didn't explained that. Atfer I tried to install stock ROM it got stuck, then smart switch didn't recognize the device but I manage to do the emergency recovery thing with model number and s/n but same thing it got stuck on the same installing system update screen. After that I installed TWRP via Odin to try to push a custom ROM zip, I did that but when I tried to install it failed.

Download Samsung SmartSwitch and from the upper menu select Emergency Recovery Mode, put your phone in Download Mode and connect it to your computer, enter your model number and S/N when asked, and it will download and install latest firmware for your model.
Sorry, i haven't seen that you already tried that.

That means TWRP works and Fastboot/Download works. What is the actual Galaxy S6 model? Mine is G920F.
What custom ROM did you try?
What version of TWRP are you using? The wrong one can create issues.
Did you wipe the phone trough TWRP first? Twice? Including internal memory?

Does it matter how I rooted phone ? I did it with s6_unibase_bog8_v2.tar ?
Where should I download TWRP FROM ? twrp. m e /devices/samsunggalaxys6.html is this ok (and latest available version ?
I'm sorry I am such a noob.
Thank you for your help

Here this should work. Flash it via odin, your device should boot into recovery after flashing this, then select reboot in recovery (reboot system). Wait for the phone to boot. (wait for like 15 mins - 20 mins max).
If it does not boot then flash stock firmware from sammobile and after booting, you can root it using unibase (like you did) and then flash twrp via odin.
Don't be sorry. Every pro was a noob once.

I tried to follow one video from yt ,but it couldn't boot,so I flashed firmware and it didn't erased important data and phone is still rooted. Should I wipe all data ? I'm still planing to put some rom on it .

If you are able to boot and if you have root then flash twrp via odin, wait for the phone to boot into twrp and then reboot the device from recovery. Then you can flash roms. You don't need to unlock the bootloader.
So as the title suggest i have tried to install XtreStoLite 3.0 RC1 Marshmallow Android 6.0.1 on my phone. I wanted to upgrade from previous XtreStoLite 2.4 so here is what i did: I booted into TWRP recovery and wiped system,dalvik cache. Then i installed the XtreStoLite 3.0 and the instalation was successfull in the installer it asked me what type of phone i have i choose s6 920f and then it installed and after that was finished i rebooted the phone and now i am stuck in a bootloop...I ran out of ideas, someone please help me to ''bring it back to life''.The phone is almost new it was bought 1 month ago, if that matters.
Thanks in advance.
Its probably because you need mm bootloader, twrp 3.0.0 and arters new kernel.

You have to pull MM bootloader and radio out of the stock MM firmware and flash threw odin or flash the whole stock MM firmware and start over.

Copy the twrp backup file to your computer, use Odin to flash stock 5.1.1 , then flash twrp, then restore backup , you don't have to copy it to your computer, just in case it gets deleted when odins flashing.

Head over to sammobile and then download appropriate firmware for your device, once you are done, flash it using ODIN.
So yesterday i done a pretty stupid thing of restarting my phone after I hid my SU binary using hide my root. This left what i think was a soft-brick as it was stuck on the samsung animation. I then stupidly enough got confused with my TWRP recovery menu and ended up wiping out my OS, leaving only the TWRP recovery on the phone. I then decided to download a 6.1.1 stock rom for my SM-G920F. 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 " cant provide an image as this is my first post, but please google the error message if you wish to see it
So i panicked thinking my phone was dead completely and surrendered, but today i managed to hook it up to TWRP and flashed the recovery. Now when i bootup i can access download mode and it boots straight to recovery. To make matters worse I began trying to download the original rom i recieved when i got the phone, however when i try flashing i get errors such as " SW rev, Check Fail: 'x' binary 'y' device "
(x and y vary for each stock rom i tried flashing.)
I have no way of finding out my firmware, bootloader info or anything. Is there ANY fix to this? I've made a huge mess of everything and I'm now desperate. Please, any advice would be a god-send. Thank you for withstanding this crappy post, I'm kind of a noob at xda.
EDIT 1- So I managed to install a custom ROM and kernal as i could transfer files while in TWRP for some reason but a new problem has showed up. So as of right now 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 sensing some sort of Bootloader problem?

First off i dont own an S6 (im still rocking the S4), but i have had some problems over the years but always managed to fix them in the end.
So while in Download mode are you not able to Flash Stock ROM (downloaded from samfirmware) via ODIN (following the instructions on the site)?
In TWRP are you not able to flash a custom ROM (probably with OTG cable if you dont have the ROM stored on the internal memory).
Any issues i have had i have always been able to do at least one of the above methods. If you cant do either or, im not sure what else i would try.
Thanks

If you stuck on boot screen then you have to try to go in recovery mode and flash stock rom.if it doesn't work then you have to flash your device with stock rom.

My Guid to fix the odin fail issue
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/odin-flash-fail-fixed-solutions-t3650073
I've tried everything that i could find using google. Nothing has worked so far.
My friend has a S6 that was on 5.1.1 with root. It didnt received OTA updates so he tried to flash the new Nougat rom using ODIN. Alas the phone softbricked.
I can access download mode, but doesn't matter what firmware i try ODIN always end up failing. It's either sboot.bin, cm.bin so i think it has something to do with the bootloader? I'm not sure.
Tried to use SmartSwitch too but after it downloads the firmware it gives me an error and says to enter safe mode (????) so that's not working either.
Has anyone have an ideia of what to try next?
Thanks in advance.

Already tried. Touchscreen on TWRP is not responsive.
Do you using latest Odin 3.12.7 and newest Samsung USB Drivers and latest right firmware for your model (the best way to get it is SamFirm)?
Softbricked S6, Only Download mode

Touchscreen is not working on TWRP. I'm downloading a Custom ROM and will try to install it trough ADB using TWRP commands. Shot in the dark.
Ended up not working.
Tried PhilZ recovery and I got to flash Global Elite rom but it doesn't boot. Is PhilZ compatible with Nougat roms? What else can I try with this recovery.

Download right newest firmware for your model, use SamFirm to get it. Then use Odin 3.12.7 with newest Samsung USB Drivers to full-flash stock ROM. Set also "Factory Reset" in Odin then START. If Odin shows you 'pass' then everything comes good.

Still i'm facing the same issue. I'll try flashing it on another pc later today. Also, Should i change any odin setting while flashing ?? Like NAND erase or bootloader update etc

Not necessary, just "Factory Reset" and that's it. I don't know why Odin shows you "pass
" and your phone still shows "system status: custom". Looks like Odin didn't flashing correctly.

This was before i flashed using Odin. I tried flashing twrp first and then stock rom. Does this make any difference ?
P.S: I'm not able to access recovery mode, only ODIN is possible.
