I tried to root my S7 edge US and odin said everything was all right and then it booted up went to the samsung logo and the screen went black then it went to the samsung logo again and it keeps doing this i tried to redo the root same thing i cleared the cache I even factory reset it nothing. My phone was running nougat that might have caused issues and my carrier is AT&T. Please Help!
Update:
The screen is now blue with a caution sign in the middle and it says "An error has occurred while updating device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software." I then tried to use Samsung Kies to do a firmware upgrade and it wont accept my IMEI number.

Let me start by addressing I know this isn't the sprint thread but there's a lot more development here which equals more help. Plus this issue seems to be able to happen to any variant.
Second, this isn't my device I'm trying to see if it can be fixed for a friend. I'm not that familiar with Samsung devices but I have been able to get them working in the past via Odin or kies but this time I need some help.
So this is what's going on, my friend recently rooted his S6(SM-920P) not sure which method he used (don't think it matters at this stage) and was on stock rom (LP5.0.2) with xposed framework installed. He hadn't changed the kernel AFAIK oh but I did install TWRP for him and everything was working. Long story short he woke up a couple days ago to his phone being unable to turn back on. I told him how to get to download mode and I asked him what did it say on the top left corner it said something like "system binary not SEandroid locked" underneath that it said fac lock
So I had him give me the phone thinking somehow it did a OTA update while he was asleep or something either way I was confident using Odin to flash the firmware would solve the issue. Had the firmware finished flashing I'm confident it would have but halfway through Odin simply froze on installing system. I figured its just gonna take a while 45 mins later it was still stuck at the same spot.
Not really thinking about it I figured I will just reboot the phone back into download mode restart the process it should be fine. Not a good idea. Now all I get is a green screen saying to access the smart switch emergency recovery system. But it gets better.
My computer isn't recognizing the device now. I installed smart switch software and it's not recognizing it. I even installed Kies and it's not recognizing either.
Is his phone toast or what? I tried emergency system recovery but I need the S/N of his phone to possibly get this thing working again, but it boot into anything anymore except the screen that says Samsung switch...
PLEASE HELP ME if it's bricked it's bricked I get that but if there's a way to figure out what to do I'm all ears. Thanks in advance
TLDR;
Trying to install custom recovery with odin auto-reboot checked off so stock doesnt replace odin says PASS I disconnect the phone but in downloading mode the blue bar is full and the phone doesn't want to shut down. I remove the battery and try to boot into custom philz-recovery it gets stuck in samsung logo. But functions perfectly on normal boot. I reset the whole phone and try the cf-auto-root method and the phone gets stuck in samsung logo now not even booting up normally. So i reset the whole phone again with odin and firmware from sammobile now sitting with a stock android and knox warranty ticked without having a root.
(Sorry for the long post I've tried to provide as much info as I can) So I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 exact model number SM-G900H. And I'm trying to root it. I go into download mode than I launch Odin and check off Auto-Reboot so it won't boot up and the stock recovery replaces the custom I'm trying to install, I connect the phone it says its connected than I select AP and than choose philz-recovery (latest version) and start it. So the Odin finishes its work says "PASS" in green letters. I disconnect the phone but on S5 the blue bar is full and it does not want to shut down (if the auto-reboot is checked it just reboots and it doesn't even want to boot into stock recovery just stuck on samsung logo) I've waited a good hour and still nothing. So I pull out the battery for it to shut down and than I straight try to boot into recovery and it just gets stuck on samsung logo and the blue letters don't even show up. Before rooting the recovery worked and I factory resetted the device before so samsungs knox does't interrupt with its not-being-able-to-boot-into-recovery-if-you-dont-know-the-password-to-the-samsung-account. And I'm now sitting here now with knox warranty ticked and not even rooted BUT I CAN STILL USE THE PHONE PERFECTLY WITHOUT TRYING TO BOOT INTO RECOVERY JUST BOOTS UP NORMALLY. So what I do than is reset the phones firmware with Odin from sammobile. Ok stock android. Than I try the Cf-auto root method with Odin. No luck phone just doesn't even boot up. So I reset the phone again same method. Ok stock android again. Sitting here reading through google for 8 hours 5 of thise spent on xda. STILL NO LUCK. So I hope someone can resolve the issue. I can't provide any pictures as I just rage closed my computer and didn't take pics. And if I install cynogenmod with heimdall is it going to be rooted (i know you don't need a root to do that) and can someone provide a guide to that heimdall cynogenmod install method?
I tried flashing an AT&T Phone to Verizon, after the flash, I got a pass on ODIN and the phone started rebooting, the verizon sim wasn't reading and the android process kept stopping. The phone shut off and I got the blue screen with the triangle with an ! point saying "AN error has occurred while updating the device software. blah blah smart switch".
Smart switch isn't registering it at all and I tried reinstalling drivers and the phone is stuck at the blue screen. What do I do?

Have you tried reflashing the original firmware?

Hello!
My english is not good, sorry.... Follow me.
When your phone is in blue screen with the triangle with an ! point saying "AN error has occurred while updating the device software. blah blah smart switch", press the buttons continuously HOME, VOLUME DOWN and POWER, until your phone enter in downloading mode. Then reinstall OS with ODIN software. Good luck from Romania!
Hi,
Yesterday my A51 SM-A515F stopped working. Since then I can't boot the phone anymore. It doesn't go beyond the first samsung screen. I think I tried everything (remove cache, factory reset, odin flash firmware). But it is all unsuccesfull so far. The strange thing is that Odin says that the flash went well, but then the phone starts shows 1-100% samsung loading bar and still doesnt go beyond the samsung boot logo screen.
Is there anyone who had a similar problem or maybe knows how to help me?
Many thanks in advance

It happens due to a bad display, Visit service centre they will replace it under warranty.
I have the same problem, I have already installed the firmware with Odin, it starts the screen and it stays stuck on the Samsung logo, when entering the Download mode in Knox Guard it says prenormal, any sugesstions?
Hi, so my Samsung S6 Edge (Sc-04G Japan) had a bootloop, i tried fixing it through odin. It already said it passed, yet it still got stuck again.

Im positive i got the firmware right
