Samsung S6 edge softbrick - General Questions and Answers

My friend tried to unroot his phone using the super SU app.
SuperSU prompted something about SOTA's and he clicked on yes.
Then the phone got stuck in a bootloop and tried a recovery flash with odin.
That failed and the phone couldnt boot at all.
Now we are trying to flash the stock rom but i cant find the propper stock firmware to flash.
We keep getting errors.
First i attempted to flash android 5.1.1 which resulted in an sw rev check failed device: 5 binary: 1
then we tried to flash android 6.x and we got sw rev check failed device: 5 binary: 4.
After trying to flash android 7 we got Secure check failed: bootloader. (or something like that).
Now i downloaded a good version from sammobile. and odin can not load the tar file.
What am i doing wrong?

Flash the right kernel! I had the same issue!
I had the same problem. Just flash recovery firmware for your device using Samsung Smart Switch. Works perfectly.

Samaung s6 g920F fails to update to android 6

Hi im trying to update my samsung G920F to a marshmallow but any attempt to leaves it in a bootloop. Ive sucessfully installed twrp however when installing a custom rom the device is stuck at the Samsung loading screen. Ive tried usuing diffrent versions of odin, twrp and also tried to install stock firmwares for anroid 5 and 6 via odin but all fail. Ive restored the phone back to android 5.1.1 using smart switch and then attemped to root it with CF-root so then i can try install the recovery using the app but after flashing cf root with odin the phone is stuck in a boot loop again with 'Kernel is not Seandroid Enforcing ' on the top left of the screen.
Do i need to do anything before i flash the rom or twrp or root?
and does anyone know how to update the G920F to android 6?
thanks
Which error do you get when you try to flash a stock rom over Odin?

[Completed] Q: System Rev. Check Fail. Device:1, Binary:0

Okay so i have a rooted Samsung Galaxy J200G and i was flashing an earlier version of stock firmware through flashfire. After completion my phone is stuck on the startup screen with Samsung Galaxy Logo and this written on top "System Rev. Check Fail. Device:1, Binary:0".
Now i can't go into the recovery because it says "Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing System Rev. Check Fail. Device:1, Binary:0"
All I can do is go into download mode. I can't flash firmware through odin because it always fails at NAND Write. I tried a couple of firmwares but it fails every single time.
Any help would be really appreciated.
PS I have TWRP backup of my firmware. Since i cannot go into recovery, is there another way to restore it?

Odin fails to flash stock firmware

So I have an old SM-G920W8 that was with Rogers, but when I turned it on it would get stuck on the galaxy s6 screen. So I tried entering the recovery thing or whatever it was called but there was text at the top left that said "recovery is not seandroid enforcing", so then I tried to flash the stock firmware back on with Odin 3.10.6 with the ROM I got from Frija, but it fails every time.

Hmm ... Should work.
Have you downloaded the correct firmware?
Best to check the installation guide again and repeat it:
Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G920W8 Stock Firmware (ROM Flash File) [DOWNLOAD]
Download the official Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G920W8 Stock Firmware ROM (Flash File) for your Samsung Smartphone and unbrick the device, fix boot loop and more.

Keep in mind that flashing a different CSC with Odin needs doing a factory reset with doing data.
That is why I always prefer using "Home_CSC" to keep my CSC and data.

Seems that you have to flash another firmware version.

tried all the usb sockets on my computer, noting changed
When i try to power up the phone it says: " Firmware update encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
Install TWRP Recovery in your Note 4 I had also this issue early. First Root your device then install twrp recovery and download Tedy Bear Rom Android 6 Marshmallow easily Available on this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...10c-h-tedybear-rom-v1-5-updated-v1-5.3768967/
