Does anybody can help? I would like to root my S6 but I need some advice. Can someone help me? Guide me how to do it? Please ?

You can't.

The way I did it with stock firmware was...
Flash TWRP with ODIN
Boot into recovery mode and flash SuperSU.
I can give you more specific instructions if you like?

Just use this package;
https://download.chainfire.eu/733/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-zeroflte-zerofltexx-smg920f.zip
The package contains a root file and Odin, which a tool for flash root file to phone. Bootloader version doesn't matter.

download twrp recovery.
boot you phone in download mode (vol down+menu+power)
Flash twrp with Odin.
Transfer CF autoroot zip to your phone.
reboot into recovery (vol up+menu+power)
flash the CF autoroot package.
Reboot.

What password to links??

So it's pretty easy to get TWRP on your Galaxy S6 just by using Odin? That's the only thing to do before I can flash ROMs onto it?

Today I downloaded twrp 3.0.2-1 and tried to flash it on G920F but it didn't work. All process finished good but the recovery didnt change. Than I figured that twrp has file ending *.tar but not *.tat.md5. Can you tell me how to change it??

The file extension doesn't matter.
Before you click "Start" on Odin, disable "Auto Reboot" option. When your flash is done, disconnect the cable and reboot the phone into recovery mode, not the system itself. If you boot to system, it'll restore the stock recovery itself.

I tried but every attempt failed. I don't use Odin though as I'm on Mac. JOdin says the phone is connected, the flashing seems to start normally but I always end up with a message telling me the command was wrong or unknown. :/ Any idea? Thank you.

Help installing recovery

I'm having problems. I flashed the img from the twrp website using flashify and now the phone is stuck on the screen with the android saying downloading. in red it says "could not do normal boot" and under it it says "ODIN mode".
Anybody know what I should do next to either get twrp installed or get the stock recovery back on the phone? I'm not real familiar with ODIN or samsung phones. This is my first non HTC phone.
Thanks
edit: I flashed the nd2 rom through odin and I can use my phone again. Now I just have to figure out how to properly install a custom recovery
Make sure you have the drivers installed that's why I think Odin is not recognizing. You should see a Com port in odin. Doesn't matter what Com just as long as it shows. At this point I think odin is your only option. I believe you could odin nd2 and that would restore your stock recovery but I would just odin twrp then see if it boots

There is a link to the S5 PC drivers. Then just skip down to the link for installing TWRP via Odin and follow the steps.
Thanks guys. I'll update my drivers and give it a try.

Go to the moar secret mission thread on sprint note 5 android development page, on his instructions there is a twrp file either tar or zip. Id download the tar, flash it using odin and either boot to recovery with button combo (power+vol up+home) or if it reboots automatically after odin flash just power off, and hold combo until booted to twrp, if your not already rooted be sure to have a zip file of supersu saved, once in twrp flash the supersu, BE SURE to have OEM unlock enabled and usb debugging in the developers settings. Hopefully your rooted already, if not, get rooted by that or tutorials on here. Oem unlock deff needs to be on before anything.
---------- Post added at 07:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 AM ----------
You cant flash it by using that recovery menu you have in pic upload. Youll have to do some reading probably on how to root it and stuff, to keep it slim and hoping you know what to do/doing hoping your using the actual odin software on a windows pc and all of that, are you? If not, pc- go to google "odin samsung" should come up first result or close ,download odin (also in moar 3.2 thread), unzip, open odin, boot phone to download mode holding (power+vol down + home) at screen press up to continue, plug in pc w/usb. Wait until odin recognizes and drivers installed if needed. Add twrp tar file to ap slot on odin. Flash. Find tutorial on here, or moar 3.2 has step by step with odin and twrp files needed. Also check cf-autoroot for your device as i am thinking u may not be rooted or have odin installed or have an idea on what ur trying to do and not saying in mean or disrespectful way and correct me if wrong and if so my apologies, but from your images, steps, wording, i suggest browsing and reading other easily found tutorials and howtos on rooting, installing custom recovery and how to not brick your phone which is about 2 steps away from where you were at, also fixable, pita that can be avoided by using threads others have written on here. If you want additional help or have questions message me and ill guide more specifically.
After flashing twrp, you must, after checking that oem unlock is on and usb debugging is on, flash a custom kernel. I used Aurora Kernel.

i forgot to factory reset before i downgrade the os with odin. now the phone just stuck on the booting screen. i can get to download mode but not to recovery mode. anyone have some solution?
You could try flashing everything from the firmware you download from sammobile.com (BL + AP + CP + CSC (not HOME_CSC)) + check re-partition in Odin.
It will wipe everything. Be sure to download the correct firmware supposed by your hardware, else bad things may happen.

You can download the firmware from Sammobile, and flash it via ODIN, this should hopefully get you back to Stock OS.
You could also try to flash twrp img via ODIN and try to access Recovery Mode again.
Goodluck

i flash the firmware from sammobile. but my phone just wont boot. i cant shut the phone down as it's internal battery
Have you flashed the Appropriate Bootloader and Modem?
At what screen is it stuck at? You could use the Volume Up Key plus home, plus Power Button to force boot it.
Here check This link out, it might help you.
Good luck

Well aslong as you can turn it on download mode you should be fine. If i was you i would download samsung kies 3 and put the phone in download mode and try to the firmware recovery from the top left section in the app. This will flash back the original firmware that came with the phone.,
---------- Post added at 04:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ----------
And if you flashed the CSC then you phone should be wiped when you boot it but maybe you flash the wrong file but like i said hard boot your device and set it to download mode and you should be fine

Hello,
i just flashed TWRP in Odin and now i´m not able to boot into Download Mode or Recovery anymore. When i just press the power button the phone shows the splash screen and the boot animation but doesnt get past that. I also cant reach the phone with ADB.

Maybe one of the buttons is broken or so. Sometimes it does boot to download mode, sometimes it doesnt. I managed to install a custom rom. I tried two Roms and none of them is able to boot. Both get stuck on bootanimation. I did not turn on USB debugging or allow OEM unlock in the stock rom before installing a custum rom.. May this be related to that?
Just tried a AOSP Rom (unofficial Lingue) and it booted like a charm. But Samsung Rom won´t boot. Do you guys know a solution?

if you can access to download mode .
1-flash latest your firmware
2-flash cf-autoroot again if you (flash latest marshmallow) by odin
if you flash nougat
1-flash latest twrp image for your s6 model
2-flash magisk root latest by twrp
after that you should access to stock rom

What's the difference between the firmware I flashed and this one you provided? I exclude a hardware failure because a AOSP ROM did boot.
Possible for the partition layout to be corrupted?

bro , the firmware difference between country and others , there firmware can't boot correctly if you installed on device , another firmware will boot correctly .
i don't think there are a failure on hardware cuz you can boot your device correctly and you can use it .
however , you can try flash this firmware without any problem , if also not booted you may need pit file for the firmware for Poland but first try flash without pit
if not work with you only (not boot up)
-flash firmware with this pit file together with
1-check option re-partition
2-make sure you check auto reboot and f.reset time
pit file for fimware

I'll flash it today when I'm home.
Yes I can, of course the stock recovery is installed now.
You need to install firmware via the 4 part binary method. Try the process below:
Download and run this:
Samfirm (on phone so having issues getting link, the software is on xda)
When you open the program, type the values given here;
Model: SM-G920F
Region: DBT
Auto: Selected
Manual: Unselected
Binary Nature: Selected
Check CRC32: Selected
Decrypt automatically: Selected
When you write and select options given above, press "Check Update" and then press "Download" to download factory firmware for your device.
Once the download has been finished, extract the zip file that you've downloaded via SamFirm.
After unzip it, download and run Odin
When you open it, press BL and select file which starts with BL from downloaded (from Samfirm) and extacted zip folder.
Do the same thing for AP, CP, CSC.
When you set 4 files to Odin, connect your phone to your PC in download mode and click "Start" on Odin
Credit goes to @forumber2 foe this process, it seems to fix a lot of stock firmware flash fails.
