Did you enable OEM unlock in settings?
You could try to flash twrp in odin and then flash a custom rom and see if it boots.
But if you didnt enable oem unlock that wont work either

I rooted mine fine, but after a few days, unchecked the OEM unlock option, then when the phone was rebooted....Game Over.
Only way to fix it is to do what I did and go to my local Samsung with my tail between my legs and they knew in 2 seconds i had rooted and ctold me efuse or similar had blown on board, so a new one had to be fitted.
Cost me £295!!

I remember that I had something similar on my previous S8. After flashing TWRP and installing the dm-verity.zip in TWRP solved the issue.
Have a look at this link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...pment/recovery-twrp-galaxy-s8-exynos-t3595102
2nd post you will find the link to the zip file.

Easy fix . Just follow my guid here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/how-to/odin-flash-fail-fixed-solutions-t3650073

I had this issue too. You HAVE to make sure you hold POWER + VOLUME UP + BIXBY when you are flashing with Odin. Once it is done it will boot into TWRP. Otherwise, you get the message about needing to wipe the phone no matter what you do.

[Q]Hard bricked s6 (am-g920f), Odin fails every time

So I flashed a rom on the s6, it ended up being the wrong model number, I went to recovery, factory reset, then the os system was deleted. I've been trying for 8 hours looking everywhere with no help.
I used odin with no success.
I can't boot into recovery because it boot loops on the cf auto root.
I have downloaded the stock rom, pit file, etc and anything won't work when I use Odin.
On smart switch, my device isn't supported.
Can any of you guys help me? I'm new here..
Never use auto root, always use twrp and install supersu through that

Is there a way to fix it?
No that is not a way to fix it. You have a galaxy s6 but what model number you get? G920F/I/....etc. You should find it in settings and about device. You didn't hard brick your phone you soft bricked your phone. Can you get into recovery/download mode?

I'd try to flash the TWRP file thru Odin, for you don't need to boot into the recovery, you need download mode-
can you achieve that (vol down+home+power)?
If so, just flash TWRP, do a full swipe, install the right ROM and you're good.
Nice

You flahsed a rom, then delete it, then CF autoroot? WHAT?
Well, lesson learned the hard way. Read before you do something "dangerous".
Hallo. Try to get in to download mode.
Ignore the message your phone not supported.
Use kies 3 go to tab emergency.
Select firmware upgrade initialization .
Fill in your type number like SM-G920F and enter your serie number of the phone then it will download and restore your phone for you.. be patient cause it could take 30 mins easily . Good luck.

Install the zip with odin 3.10.7, like ap file( video tutorial) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSNbHvJdTk4. Then reboot and celphone start working. This change your kernel and boot, but you can flash the original kernel ( i have if you needed). If you want root check this video https://youtu.be/0FEfJ4DWVcY

I had the same problem as the OP, and I flashed this kernel after flashing some stock roms, but it still doesn't work for me. When booting up, the phone no long gets stuck in the stock recovery but gets stuck in the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge logo with the red tiny words on the top-left saying KERNEL IS NOT SEANROID ENFORCING.
Is this happening because I flashed a pit file the first time and maybe accidentally erased my EFS? I have made some backups using TWRP and an EFS BACKUP app before, but I have no idea how to restore those files now as I cant get into my phone.
Would really appreciate any kind of help.
In addition, I found that I don't seem to be able to flash a custom recovery like TWRP onto my device, at least I cannot get into it after odin says Pass when flashing.
I'm trying to use ADB but it seems the device isn't found.

I finally did it myself haha.
It turned out to be pretty simple; just in case someone is in my shoes in the future, here's what I did:
Flash a stock rom using Odin 10.7.
(IMPORTANT) Do not let it boot up til it says drk fail, hold down the vol down, power, and home button to get back into the Download mode.
Flash PhilZ recovery using Odin 10.7. arter97 . com /browse/exynos7420/recovery/twrp/g925fi/
Once it's done, hold vol up, power, and home button to get back into the Recovery mode immediately.
I'd personally do a wipe to make sure nothing goes wrong, then backup the EFS and other partitions while I'm at it.
Then choose Reboot to go back into the Download mode.
Now flash CF-Auto-Roots using the attached Odin. forum.xda-developers . com /galaxy-s6/orig-development/cf-auto-root-t3056630
Let it do the installation on the phone. It will reboot a few times I think, and hopefully when it says Pass, the LED indicator starts glowing. Then it should be all good.

When I turn my phone on, it reboots over and over again, HELP PLEASE!

So I used my galaxy note edge SM-N915F for 6 months with no problem, but I did the Marshmallow 6.0.1 update and now it doesn't work. As I said in the title when I try to start it reboots over and over again.
Any suggestions?? It opens only downloading mode and I flashed a rom(official russian Marshmallow 6.0.1 rom) with Odin and it didn't work.
Please help me! Thanks in advanced!

When using the correct button combination are you able to enter recovery or does it continue to bootloop? Power, Home and Volume Up is used to enter recovery. When you attempted to flash the stock firmware through Odin, where did you download the stock firmware from?

Yes, it continue to bootloop even when I try to open in recovery mode. I succesfully entered recovery mode only one time and was able to full wipe, full cache the phone. This is after the flashing. I flashed the stock firmware a week ago and I actually don't remember where I downloaded it from. Thanks for your interest.

Most firmwares are available from sammobile.com. Which version of Odin are you using? Also, when you performed the flash through Odin, did Odin show the flash to be successful on the progress window? Was your Note Edge rooted or did you have a custom recovery installed before the bootloop issue started?

Have you tried a different version of Odin to perform the flash? I have 3.07 and 3.10 and sometimes one version will work perfectly and the other will show a successful flash but the device will still bootloop. Check which version you have and then download a different one to test with. That may be your issue.
Also, can you enter recovery at all anymore? If you try to enter recovery several times in a row during the bootloop process you may be able to access it after a few attempts. If you can enter recovery, wipe data/factory reset for me. Then attempt to boot. If it loops again, download the official firmware from sammobile.com and flash it with your original version of Odin. If it still loops, then flash it again with the different version of Odin. Lemme know how it goes. I'll do what I can to help.

I tried different Odin versions but it didn't work. I can flash rom succesfully but after the flashing it doesn't open in recovery mode. It bootloops. Once, it opened in recovery mode and I did wipe data/factory reset after first flashing and it didn't work. Now, it still doesn't open anyway except Downloading Mode.

I will try to flash 5.1.1. So, I guess I need to enter recovery to wipe data/factory reset before flashing 5.1.1 but I can not because it still bootloop. How can I do wipe data/factory reset?
Edit1: And I readed somewhere, they said that it is about the kernel? Is it possible?
Edit2: A few minutes ago, I succeeded to enter recovery mode, I did factory reset and phone still bootloop. It doesn't open. Now, I am downloading the 5.1.1. I will try to flash 5.1.1.
Edit3: I tried a lot of times but it is still same. I flashed the 5.1.1 with different versions of Odin. I successful with flashed it but phone wants to enter in recovery mode after flashing and it bootloops. It is trying to enter recovery mode all time but it doesn't work. Sometimes, on charge, it close to enter the recovery mode. I said in edit2 I succeeded to enter recovery mode, but I didn't say that it was on charge because I discover this now. So, I don't know what I have to do, I am waiting for your suggestions.

Let's see if we can get your Note Edge into safe mode without bootlooping. Use these steps:
Turn on safe mode
Turn the device off.
Press and hold the Power and Volume down key.
Continue to hold the Volume down key until the device finishes restarting.
Safe mode will display in the bottom left corner of the screen.
Release the Volume down key when you see Safe Mode.
I have read a few forums and notes about booting into safe mode can stop the bootloop. Once it's successfully booted into safe mode we can attempt to boot normally. Give it a shot and I'll keep researching. Good luck.

I tried a lot of times but it didn't work. I tried on charge, without charge, with different cables but still bootloop. It is just like a joke.
I tried with Kies but Kies didn't see my edge. It didn't connect. On the Kies window, it said "connecting..." so I waited about 2 hours and it didn't connect. Then, I tried to emergency firmware recovery, it didn't see my edge again.
Download Samsung Smart Switch and see if it recognizes your device.

Do you have your friends device with you and a PC to use? Was your friend trying to root the device or install a custom recovery or a custom ROM when this happened?
Or, did your friend accept the OTA for 6.0.1 MM and then ended up in a bootloop after installing the OTA?

What version of Odin are you using to flash the factory firmware? Try to flash the firmware with a different version of Odin.
Also, you said the flash was unsuccessful using Odin. Was there an error message in Odin at the bottom left corner of the screen? If so, what was the error? I have had several flashes fail using one version of Odin but pass with a different version.
Also, what version of Android was your friends device using before you tried to flash the 6.0.1 firmware? If the device was running 5.1.1, have you tried to flash a 5.1.1 firmware with Odin?

Search for Odin 3.07 and 3.10. I use both of these versions. When all else fails for me I use 3.07 and it always seems to work for me. Also, I'm betting it was running 5.1.1 because 6.0.1 hasn't been out that long for the Saudi Arabian Note Edge. I would flash the 5.1.1 stock firmware using Odin 3.07 and see if it will allow you to boot normally. Let me know how it goes. Good luck.

Dammit man. Ill keep looking through my Samsung stuff and see what I can find. I sent my cousin an email yesterday who works for Samsung in their Tier 3 Technical Support/Case Management Group and asked her for some help. I'm really curious as to what she has to say on the subject. When it comes to a Samsung Galaxy or Note device she is a PRO. When I run into an issue with any of my Samsung devices that I can't fix, I call or email her. Keep working on it and we will find a solution.

Trying to unroot Samsung Galaxy S7 manually with Odin

Everytime I try to unroot my phone with Odin it says the process failed and Auth failed, someone please help..
Download stock firmware from the primary root guide. Use Odin and select all three the ap and the two below it. This will recover you to stock. Without root. But first do a titanium backup or a nandroid backup of all your apps and contact.

I tried but it still says failed... in Odin I put in all BL AP CP and CSC files, in the left text box it says FAIL! (Auth). I've tried this multiple times but it failed.. am I doing something wrong? Will I not be able to unroot my phone.. it's a SM-930T

Try rerooting the phone through ODIN also make sure you are using the lastest ODIN if you need to boot into recovery and do factory reset and cleat cache but BACK YOU STUFF UP!!! Also what is you model number ex: SM-G935x
Edit also make sure u have secure start up off and have you lockscreen password off just in case
Well uh. now my phone is stuck in recovery mode and won't even start up normally.. and it's the SM-G930T

Hate to say this again but just to make sure did you try doing factory reset and clear cache. Also if its still stuck then use odin to flash the s7 engineer root file then go into recovery mode and then clear cache and factory reset it should work fixed my boot loop when my phone was doing it.
I did all this Odin still fails, I've tried all three downloads from XDA for SM-930T which is my phone

Well if worst come to it goto best buy and goto the samsung depart ment and belike my phone is stuck in a boot loop and they told me to have you guys reflash it. Thats what i did when my recovery was messed up and had a boot loop. Just tell them that the only thing that works is download mode or if they boot into recovery mode be like the factory reset doesnt do any thing. But i would say do this if its and absolute last option. I would say look around the fourms and mess around with it a bit more and ill do the same since you already tried petty much every thing.
Trying to unroot
Same issue here with 930T. Had rooted and was unsatisfied but I tried flashing TWRP and now I can't even boot into recovery, goes straight into home screen. Now I can't unroot after trying ODIN, SuperSU, Samsung Switch etc. Would love some help.
Make sure you actually try each one of these steps - I actually tried all these steps, and the last step worked for me. Took me 5-6 hours to unroot my phone. I use a Samsung S7 (SM-G930W8).
1. USB Cable matters. Try a different USB cable (best if it is the OEM one, if not one that gives enough power)
2. Plug into a USB 2.0 instead of a USB 3.0
3. Uninstall Kies
4. Re-install your Samsung USB drivers
5. Use a different computer
6. Use a older version of Odin (3.10 did not work for me, when I changed to 3.9 it worked)
Why not just initialize using smart switch.
So I would suggest going to this post here and downloading the ODIN 3.12
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711451
I was trying to unroot for a clean root and this one worked for me the one made by PrinceComsy did not work for the flashing the stock ROM but it did work for flashing the ENG Boot ROM. I used 3 out of the 4 file to flash the stock rom I didn't select the BL file at all but you can if you want.
If you need any further assistance/help please reply to this and I will try to assist you further.

Could the issue be the stock firmware? I tried to get mine from GalaxyS7R.. and not trying from SamMobi...
I receive the same errors on PC and on device I am receiving SW REV CHECK FAIL: [about]Fused 3> Binary 2
[1] eWWC write fail: aboot
I am able to boot back into my phone but simply cannot restore back to original stock.

Figured this out myself..need to use the correct build (there are 4 or 5 for TMO)...

G930F - flashed wrong recovery. Have I got any chances?

Hi guys,
I have flashed SD recovery over Exynos (idiot - I know!)
Have I got any chances to recover the device?
I have got g930f.
Bootloops at Samsung Galaxy S7 logo.
Will boot to download mode, visible in odin but upon flashing anything it will immediately restart and odin will FAIL.
Anything to revive this brick?
Thanks!

Hi mate
Probably yes....
You could try to reflash the correct recovery first.....
Custom like TWRP
Check here
Or the original one
Check here
Worse case scenario flash a stock rom (odin) Use all 4 files AP, BL, CP and home_csc to try to save your data ( has to be the same as you have in your phone now) or CSC this will give you a clean installation

Thank you,
For whatever reason - donwload mode is somehow corrupted. As soon as I'm starting to flash anything it fails and restarts the phone...
Any other options I could possibly have?
Thanks!

What error do you get in Odin, check the logs.
Did you try flashing from another PC
re install driver
Un install Kies or smart swicth
Different USB cable
What odin version are you using

Nope, I haven't tried different pc/cable as the very same pc was ok to flash wrong recovery 5min earlier...
I don't have kies installed, I just had samsung drivers which were always working for me.
I am 100% positive its not pc fault just me being an idiot...
I am using odin 3.12
Thank you

We are all idiots at one point or another
Just want to point out different reason why odin may fail...
See what error do you get when flashing with Odin...and what files are you using when it fails to flash

I can't check it right now ( I'm at work) but it basically gives me fail on red backdrop. Can't remember what it says in the log, but definitely says Success: 0/ fail: 1
Last file I tried to flash was whole system rom. Just before that, I tried to flash TWRP for s7 exynos - the correct one but it failed. And, of course, it all started with flashing incorrect twrp which went through perfectly :/
Thanks

When you get home, just try installing "Samsung Smart Switch" (it's no longer Kies) (http://www.samsung.com/sg/support/smartswitch/Smart_Switch_pc_setup.zip)
I understand that you already have drivers on your PC, but the Samsung Smart Switch might come with some updated drivers for your Samsung S7, which might change the scenario. Installing that, plus using another version of Odin (run it as Admin). I used this one just today. (http://dl.sammobile.com/Odin3-v3.11.1.zip)
If the flashing the recovery still fails, try flashing Stock rom under AP like suggested earlier. If that still fails.
Use Samsung Smart Switch's "Emergency recovery" but do the Initialization (2nd tab) by inputting your Phone model and let Smart Switch download the official firmware from Samsung's servers.
This must be done while your phone is in Download mode, so make sure you have enough juice to wait out the download process.
Good luck!
