how can i fix it ?

Probably bad flash/ota. Happened too me as well. I had to reset to stock and reflash via Odin. Make full backup of your device, then try to get back to stock.

can you please describe little bit more ...
you mean i could wipe data with twrp recovery mode ?
or should use odin to install the same firmware again or what ?

What? No. Didn't say anywhere to root. Get to bootloader, use odin and flash original samsung system.

How to make full backup of the device if u arent rooted??

Don't root and fiddle around if you don't know what your doing. Or at least get enough information about what your doing before doing it.

this happened to me after flashing stock FW with odin and then flashing custom recovery without first letting the phone to boot.
After flashing CSC, the phone needs to go to revocery and finish the flashing process (copy CSC files to system). If you flash custom rom, it might not be able to flash the zip and therefore you have no CSC and get weird settings.
I was able to flash the zip with custom recovery by remounting system as read-write first.

TWRP for 5.1.1 won't work

In a nutshell when I Odin this or Flashify this it seems to work but when I attempt to Reboot system in recovery TWRP freezes. I tried this while on 5.0.2 and 5.1.1 and I have the same experience.
When I mess around with it and try to create a backup it gives an error message stating i have no room on my phone. I have plenty of room. I think for whatever reason it's not mounting my file system. When I use the TWRP file browser I can see pretty much all my folders.
Any advice? Right now I'm stock rooted OFE

Have you tried flashfire?

Yes, tried Flashify and traditional Odin. No idea why it's not working.

IDT that will make a diffrence. If Flashify and Odin both didn't work IDT Flashfire will make a difference. I may try Soops recommendation to format internal and Odin firmware afterward. As it stands right now I'm fine w/o a recovery.

failed update :(

So i am trying to update my phone for a few days with the latedt push OTA (6.0)

And when the system reboots, it brings me to the TWRP Bootloader screen.. even if i push the reboot to system button, the update failed to be applied.
Any tips?

Edit: Sorry for the picture size, i have no idea how to resize)

You have to be stock to update OTA. No special recovery and no root

So, how can i make sure this message does not appear anymore, or can i just flash the latest image from code.google.com with the update included somehow, and everything will restore like it does now?
(sorry for the uestions, im no pro just yet)

You can't flash any official OTAs with TWRP. It's a known fact, nothing you can do about it. Reflash stock recovery, or just use a close to vanilla custom ROM that gets the monthly security updates.

Won't OTA after root and twrp

I was excited to see that Nougat was finally coming to my phone, but alas, it won't work for me. After downloading the update (over the course of an hour) it spits out an error saying that it cant verify my phone (or something like that) then exits. I made a nandroid backup, then flashed the developer/unlocked RUU (P.S. this is an AT&T model, but with the CID/MID changed) and it still won't take the OTA. If I need to flash the AT&T RUU, then what CID/MID would I need?

So, I checked this site (after clearing browser cache) and theres a download for an RUU, but twrp won't flash it
If fully converted id suggest running the ruu for 1.57.617.X, and then take the ota... Cant flash ota with twrp installed... Has to be stock.everything
RUU for Nougat is available now

If you converted your phone or it is USA unlocked, you can take the OTA once you have downloaded the 1.57 ZIP ONLY! ruu from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-a9/general/wip-ruu-htc-one-a9-t3240344/page58 , then. Rename it to 2PQ9IMG.ZIP and put it on a microsdcard, then put that in your phone and put it in download mode, which will prompt you to flash the ruu. Go ahead and do that. Once completed, reboot. Make sure your CID is BS_US_0001 or something like that
cannot use superCID, I just found that out earlier, make sure your CID is BS_US001 as mentioned above, and you should be good.

Can't flash TWRP or root, odin fails every time

hey, i've been trying to root 920P (S6 Sprint) for whole week now, i've tried everything i found, tried to flash few versions of TWRP, failed at 99%, tried to root directly with CF-Auto root and it fails mid-flash, tried multiple versions of odin, still same results :|

it's really weird, I've succesfully flashed 920F (International) without any problem multiple times. I can flash stock rom so it's not hardware's fault. Am i missing some simple newbie step?
{FIXED}
i was missing newbie step like i suspected xDD i forgot to enable oem unlock
what is the solution ?

my device is sm920A . it is at&t . i cannot find oem unlocker
Possible Solution to Odin "failed" messaged whilst flashing
Warm greetings to all.
I have previously encountered this problem before, ive tried clearing the cache and formatting with still no luck
Eventually I wanted to try something, I loaded my software I wanted to flash on a USB.
I then used an OTG adapter to connect the usb to my phone. I then booted into the recovery ( I have TWRP) and chose install from external storage. To my surprise it worked.
NOTE: I am not sure if this method will work on stock recoveries. Also if you have an external hard drive it works as well
Also note. My S6 is an international version i believe G925F
Wishing you all the best of luck if I was not able to help
