One day, my phone just suddenly froze. Gave it a day to be left alone and it probably ran out of battery. Upon charging and trying to turn it on, it gets in a bootloop. It is NOT even getting past the very first logo at the start. It just shows "Samsung Galaxy S6 Powered by android" then freezes there.
I boot it into download mode and was unable to flash ROMs, Recoveries or Kernels. It has Reactivation Lock on!
"Custom Binary blocked by RL"
I gave up after this, but then I came back after months. I want to see if I can bring this phone back to life again. I've recently found this video where it has Odin 3.11 that had an option to disable Reactivation Lock!

I tried flashing TWRP and SpaceX kernel and it worked! It said pass, I saw the download bar in my phone fly across to completion and it did not show Custom Binary blocked by R/L again! Okay so... What now? It's stuck at the very same boot logo freeze. I STILL can't boot into TWRP recovery. I cant do anything. Is it HardBricked? Is it something to do with my EFS or Partition or whatever? Please help.

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?
Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G920I
Version Lollipop 5.1.1
Long story - My S6 suddenly died. When I tried to turn it on, it would turn on with the logo screen " Samsung Galaxy S6" and freeze right there and then after probably 30 seconds it goes black and then the logo again; forever and ever until the battery goes flat. Doing the physical button combinations did not work. FLASHING STOCK ROM DOES NOT WORK EITHER(and yes I did check that it is the right ROM) I'm able to go into download mode but the thing is:
Since my phone died SUDDENLY:
- DEVELOPER OPTIONS IS NOT TURNED ON
USB Debugging shouldn't have been on.
-I don't know but something to do with turning off OEM unlocking? and/or any other knox or something that blocks rooting, installing recovery etc.
Because of this, when I tried installing TWRP recovery or SpaceX kernel, it says "Custom Binary(RECOVERY) Blocked By R/L"
Tried searching up Google but only came with one English post and did not get much info out of it. The rest were about FRP etc and the way they had it was different from mine.
So now my phone is stuck. Any help? I don't mind voiding my warranty so go ahead with crazy methods that might work.
TL;DR
S6 suddenly dies, frozen at logo screen. Developer options is not enabled> USB DEBUGGING not enabled. Flashing STOCK ROM doesn't work. No recovery. Installing TWRP or SPACEX KERNEL is "Custom Binary(RECOVERY) Blocked By R/L"
Any help?
***EDIT***
DOWNLOAD MODE DOES WORK***

Seriously... No one is helping...
Hello all. Since nougat update my phone has started having boot up issues. I had software update a month ago and after it was updated it failed to boot up. It just froze on Samsung logo screen and i had to wait for the battery to drain to start it again. So that time it started after a good few tries. Now last night it had another software update and again after it was finished it rebooted and failed to boot up. Gets stuck on logo screen/ samsung screen. I tried booting in safe mode.. nothing ... gets stuck again on black screen and have to wait for battery to drain. When it gets stuck i can't do anything not even reboot with any of the buttons. I've tried going into recovery mode but once it boots in recovery it shows Installing System Update or something simmilar and in 1 second gets stuck untill battery is drained again. So basically i can't do anything on it. It won't boot up in normal/safe mode or recovery mode... Any suggestions ? I've tried samsung switch on my PC but it needs the phone into recovery mode and i can't get this far. What else is there to do ?

My phone began lagging last night so I gave it a restart. The shut-down animations were normal but when the phone turned back on, it gave me the dreaded FRP LOCK curse. I went through many forums and videos and I was able to take the lock off via FRP Hijacker, but now I am stuck at the download mode. If I try booting the phone on with the stock recovery, the Samsung Note5 splash screen stays indefinetly (soft brick). If I try booting the phone with a custom recovery, I get a message in purple text saying "Recovery image signature check fail. Reboot to avoid Warranty bit set" and it will keep bootlooping. Currently, I am not sure how to continue if I cannot get to the recovery mode and flash a ROM. So basically, I am stuck at not being able to flash a rom, nor being able to get into recovery mode successfully without a brick or bootloop. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Edit 1: USB Debugging is turned on as well as OEM Unlock
you need to use odin and downgrade to a stock 6.0 tar file..or use a conversion tar file taking you from n920p to n920f..or n920c ...ill upload the files everyone needs after work today...
Hello, what could be the cause of the black screen? I can manage to boot it up to recovery mode(TWRP) but after a few seconds it goes into black screen. Same goes after seeing the samsung logo. I can't seem to boot into odin mode as I tried multiple times it only shows the samsung logo and then boots into samsung logo again. I also tried connecting it into the computer but the device won't show up even though I unlocked the oem. When charging it shows the battery indicator fine. It shows error on the upper left: Custom Binary blocked by frp lock. what can I possibly do to make it work again? Thanks! It's on custom rom: onkiller-os v2.0 final and custom recovery: twrp 3.4.0.
The oem Unlocking gets enabled sometimes if your battery runs out.
try flashing the stock rom again, it can help sometimes. it happened once to me as well. My phone died once bcuz the battery ran out and somehow oem unlocking got reenabled

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks for the reply. ah, But the oem is enabled and can I flash the stock rom without accessing odin mode? I can't seem to boot into it.
Boot into download mode, by pressing power, home and volume down button
Try that
