So I tried to root my Samsung Galaxy S6 today using TWRP and it got stuck in a boot loop. I went to wipe to cache and accidentally wiped to system. So now there is no OS installed. I know I need to somehow put an OS on the device but I'm in Canada and when I go to samsung's site to download the firmware, there is no Canada option. I bought the phone off of amazon and it came with a European wall charger because it was imported, but how do I know what firmware to download?
Also, when I have found the right firmware, how do I flash it onto the device? I can no longer access TWRP, all I can get is the downloading screen thing. Can I use Odin/how do I use Odin?
Somebody help me I'm panicking because I broke my brand new phone!
You should check the Amazon listing to see which model number you have. It's probably SM-920F.
Once you have the correct firmware downloaded, Google a guide to flashing Galaxy S6 firmware with Odin. There are a lot of them out there.

On the back of the phone it should say which model you have, for example G920F, G920W8, G920P etc.
Download the proper firmware from Sammobile, then follow the tutorial that the following thread has a link to.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/sm-g925f-s6-firmware-thread-t3078841
If the variant you have is the European model, G920F, I recomend you install the unbranded firmware.
IMPORTANT! MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE PROPER FIRMWARE! INSTALLING THE WRONG FIRMWARE CAN HARD BRICK YOUR DEVICE!
I really hope this advice helped!
Really important is only that you pick the right model to download. The region isn't that important. Go to sammobile and download your stock rom, but be sure to not pick a branded one, because they are full of junk.
Also, you must use ODIN in that Download-Mode. Open ODIN, plug your device into your pc and see, if ODIN shows up your device. If yes, select "PDA" or "AP" (depending on ODIN Version) and select your ROM that you have downloaded. Then click on start. Don't touch your phone, your cable or your computer for best results. Wait ODIN say "PASS" with a green background. If this occurs, your phone should restart and after 10 mins or so, it should boot Android.
I did the same this as the OP, now I am stuck on the main "Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Powered by Android" screen. I can boot into TWPR and into download. I have tried flashing zip from external SD card with USB-OTG with no luck, I have tried flashing from Odin, multiple Odin versions tried, multiple usb cords tried, multiple computers tried.. all result with <ID:x/xxx> Can't open serial(COM) port."
No matter what I do, I can't seem to get anything to take, not stock firmware or otherwise. Any suggestions.. donations for anyone who can help me solve. lol $$

In odin under options untick Auto Reboot.
Flash Rom
Phone wont reboot once rom has flashed successfully so you will need to do manual reboot.
Go into recovery mode and wipe data.
Reboot phone
that should help let us know if it works

Version of Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime:Galaxy grand prime s920l
I have a soft bricked grand prime, my reactivation lock was still enabled and it's in a constant boot loop.
I can access the recovery mode, attempted to factory reset, clear cache and restore, which did not work.
I can access download mode and connect to Odin with my laptop, yet I can not find my stock room or anything to restore my phone and take it out of the boot loop.
Please help me with this problem, I can't stand looking at my phone which after paying for everything, service and all cost me close to 300 dollars..
Download Samsung Kies and do a emergency firmware update or something like that. Then put your exact phone model, s/n, and sit back and let Kies do its thing

Hello People.
I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8020. that is bricked somehow, i have rooted it and was running on a french rom apparently, there is a Orange Icon (logo) on startup and some french apps .
it have run smooth the last year. suddenly a week ago. it wont start any more. hangs on the Orange logo. it cannot go into recovery mode only download mode i have tried using samsung kies whitout luck. the wierd thing is that kies tells me that i am using a Swedish rom MI3 (TLA). then i have tried using Odin (many different version to) and nothing works, same error all the time. (nand start write error) i have tried philstouchrecovery, flash with stock rom. pit files everything fails etc.
then yesterday in desperation i tried some other option, in Odin There is a check box Called T Flash. When i check this box. i don't get a error and i could flash it with a stock rom. the tablet responds and you can see the progress bar moving etc and i get a reboot and a pass in Odin. but i dont seems like anything have been flashed. still stuck on the Orange Logo.
Can anyone Help Me, unbrick my Tablet, and also Explain What The T Flash Does ??
Nand is memory.

thx for your reply much appreciated.
ok so could a fix be to erase / clear nand somehow
if you erase nand you will need a service centre with a jig .
ok
so what to do. anyone ??
I have a Samsung galaxy s6 edge plus, I've tried everything to fix the problem i have. Its stuck telling me i have to use smart switch to fix my phone. Ive tried using download mode and odin and restore stock firmware of both new and the same version of android that was on the phone before the issue (5.1.1). The internal storage got wiped, since this happened i was unable to boot the phone past this point. Any time i use odin it fails at the pit file when i try to use all 4 files to repair. Smart switch doesnt even see my device in the emergency recover, I'm at a lost of what i should do, there is nothing on the internet with the same problem i have. Ive tried reinstalling drivers that also doesnt work. Odin sees the device but cant do anything with it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as i cant even shut the phone off without letting it die...
Still need help with this, I'm sure somewhere one of you have had this problem and know what to do.
Still stuck on emergency recovery and cant flash anything because the device wont allow it

Hello there, I am already more than 3 days trying to download stock firmware for my phone, every day another problem, on the beginning it was always fail while trying with Odin, then I was try another firmware it was downloaded but stucked on update 32%.i understand it can be wrong firmware, I tried other methods, I was add pit for Samsung galaxy s6 edge G925F. Downloaded but didn't help, I tried another firmware for other region it was downloaded, even no fail, but stucked on erasing. I tried recovery mode (volume up-home-power) cant access it. Today I try again, all the time stuck on Initialization.
Note I tried different Odin version.
USB on laptop there's two, 2.0 and 3.0(blue)
The time it was succeed without fail it was on the black USB 2.0
So now even completely can't start to download firmware.
Also I was try to download Twrp after it was nearly succeeded and stucked on erasing, hoping that I can access recovery mode to wipe everything, but Twrp stucked on logo.
After all that I can't do nothing.
I still can access downloading mode and phone stuck on logo if I put it on the charge.
I hope I was give right and enough informations to help me solve the issue.
I appreciate any help

You should identify the exact device model.
Then check to download the stock Samsung firmware for this model.
