I recently got my Samsung Galaxy S6 and decided to root and install TWRP for a custom rom. I was able to root the phone and then installed their android app. TWRP Manager (ROOT).
After that I went to the app and one of the sidebars labeled install TRWP on the app then to the codename zeroflte for the Samsung Galaxy S6. It told me to restart my phone and I did but after that I was not able to use my phone again. Whenever I would turn on my phone it would show the normal Samsung s6 screen with a unlock picture and the words custom underneath. After that it would display a turquoise color screen with a words
Start Up Failed. Your device didn’t start up successfully. Use the Verizon Software Repair Assistant on a computer to repair your device.
I tried to google and see if anyone had a similar problem but nothing popped up. I don’t know where to find a copy for the Verizon Software Repair Assistant for the Galaxy S6.
I also tried and factory reset the phone or anything but the only combinations of buttons that would work on my phone were the down volume + power button. It gave me a list of options including factory reset but every option that I chose would lead me back to the same screen. The turquoise screen saying Start Up Failed.
Any help would be great. I don’t know what to do now. Tomorrow I am going to down to a local repair store and see what they can do. But if you know of anything that would be great. Thank you for your time and have a nice day.

Have you tried to Odin back to stock?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s6/development/5-15-stock-odin-tar-t3109676
Ya, you'll need to odin back to stock like he said. And TWRP isn't available for our phone since we don't have an unlocked bootloader. Do not try and install TWRP again. You'll want to use Flashfire if you need to flash anything.

Keep in mind XDA is a community for developers by developers. People are also willing to help, but you got to put forth your own effort. You will get ignored if you think people on this site are going to act as free tech support. Your question is posted just a few posts down from a link to the process on using odin to return to stock. You need to just follow those instructions. If you don't understand a step then Google it. I'm saying this because I noticed you joined XDA to ask this question. Or at least it's your first post. You will make a lot of enemies here if you don't take the time to read and research things before posting.

I have the same problem (Start up failed) but ODIN is not working for me... I am using the stock firmware for the GS6 edge and it says failed... what should I do?

If you have an edge you should use their forum. It's different than the GS6.
Just had to Odin my Verizon S6 (sm-g920v) to get it back to factory defaults.
I've been rooted for months with no issues and have known my bootloader was locked with no nice way around it but then i read some stupid guides saying to go get twrp manager to load custom roms on the Galaxy s6 phones and they even included the sm-g920v model number. I went to the app store, downloaded twrp manager, followed the first few steps, rebooted and that was that. Could not boot up anymore without Start Up Failed. A few checks and warning would have been greatly appreciated from the app developers but oh well.
Well that was fun. Now to redo everything on my phone.

Same exact crap just happened to me. I was running CleanRom Lite....thought I could use TWRP...some times I do stupid things...should have just stuck with FlashFire.
I've tried odin back to stock, it keeps failing. it says nand write fail and it stops. I've tried many different times. I've run Odin 3.10.6 and 3.10.7 I have the latest drivers, it recognizes the device but it will not load anything via odin. I've tried on two different computers as well.

I have a Galaxy s6 edge btw. Not much info on the edge, in desperation, I'm combing thru galaxy s6 forums seeking answers. I have been rooted for awhile. I wanted to turn off the nagging volume warning so I downloaded a zip file to flash but only to find that my twrp recovery was no longer there. So I try to download twrp and flash. Now I'm in a boot loop with the turquoise screen telling me to use a verzion tool to reset the device. Klies says my phone isn't compatible as well as smart switch. Odin fails every time after NAND WRITE. I'm about to microwave this crap and get new phone.

Did you ever get your phone up and running? I ran into similar issue with odin. After looking around on web I found a forum that mentioned using an older version of odin.

Good morning XDA Devolopers,
I have used this site for many a year now but today had to sign up to get some help.
I purchased my SM-920F from Ebay, and low and behold, it had been blocked here in the UK, ever the optimist i looked about online and indeed there are several options online, including some services for remote unlocking, i decided it was worth a shot and ordered it, only from there on it goes from bad to worse.
After the unlock i was constantly greeted with Security Errors and Warning, i contacted the company who unlocked it, and was told to re-flash the rom with the same baseband version, after alot of hunting i found a rom from SAM Mobile and away i went, flashed and all seemed to go well i waited and waited, phone stuck on the boot screen. Galaxy S6, powered by Android...
I returned to the unlocking company asking for advice, only to be called a liar and they would never suggest i reflash the rom or firmware.
So now im stuck with a brick, ive tryed all i can think off and all i can research and i just cant make any progress. I did note after the unlock SuperSU had been installed on my phone (i wasnt made aware the unlock required them to root my phone, they tripped knox in the process).
I have a SM-920F origonally on O2 UK, i have tryed flashing there rom with no joy.
Im desperate to have this phone orking, even if its just for calls, my wife is currently at the hospital with our son whos fighting for his life against cancer, and all i get is abuse from here, i dont get paid till the 1st of the month so a new phone is out of the question at present. The unlocking company i used are tools, and to think iw as mighty impressed at the time.
I do have SOME cash, if theres a pro out there who wants to make a few bucks and can remote connect to me to help me solve this it would be much appreciated, i am just now stuck and desperate and badly need the help of the community.
Galaxy S6 920F

Android 5.1.1
(Rooted by network unlockers)
WIndows 7 Ultimate - Odin (I have just about all of them these days)

Please please please someone somewhere must be able to help me out

Turn off your phone, and then turn it on pressing and holding Volume Up, Home, and Power button at the same time until you see a warning. Then press Volume Up to continue, and navigate using volume keys and select wipe cache/factory reset with the Home button, then reboot.
Please note that by doing this all your data will be lost.

Thanks for ya info.
Having installed TWRP i noticed something very intresting, TWRP reports no operating system is installed.
Ive taken a leap of faith and using ODIN am now flashing the Stock 5.1.1 ROM.
Will report back in a few mins.
Okay so TWRP is installed, it reported no operating system.
I reflashed the Stock rom, all went well as expected, phone still refuses to boot.
I have reflashed TWRP and completed a factory reset. Again no dice, still wont boot.
Any further help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

There is a ROM called AllianceROM, I've read that it's on of the best for the G920F.
Okay so as promised.
1. Flash Stock 5.1.1 ROM (Phone will not boot after)
2. Flash TWRP with ODIN
3: Reboot into TWRP and mount filesystem via MPT (i had to disable then enable it for my computer to detect it)
4: Copy ROM to phone (As a ZIP)
5: Using TWRP install ZIP
6: Follow Instructions
7: Dalvik / Cache Clear (it asks after the rom is installed)
8: Reboot
9: Wait
10: Wait Some More
11: TADA
Phone has booted and connected to the network, the AllianceROM suggested above will work in very much the same way! same process.
Thats all i did. After a week of gueswork i want to thank the chap who provide me some guidance both here and via PM
Phone is now running and working, i wish i could have stock rom but you cant have it all.
On a side note if you choose to use IMEI Gurus to unlock your phone, i highly suggest you dont, there after sales support are shocking, and they refunded my money even though its not what i wanted, had the provided the help i found here id not have been so stressy with them. There service does work, but they will root your device (which they dont mention in there sales pitch they will trip knox (again not mentioned) and once done you cant actually factory reset the phone with any method. ANd youll be here reading this.
Yes there services work, but guys please make your own informed decisions about there service, would i buy again from them? i doubt it, but needs must and all that.
THanks everyone
This is now resolved. Please do not continue to post on my thread. Your circumstances will not be the same as mine nore are they likley to resolve issues you have, as mine was caused by a very specific problem. Start your own threads dont hijack mine
First of all, sorry if I am posting this in the wrong thread or wrong area.
I'm seriously depressed and deprived of sleep because I finally rooted my phone and everything went wrong.
Yeah, I fell in with that crowd. Shame on me, i know ,_,
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900W8 is the victim. I downloaded CF AUTO ROOT HLTECAN HLTEUB SMN900W8 which, apparently, should have had no problem. Used Odin 3.07 on my laptop and the process was smooth and quick. Buuuut of course my phone got mostly wiped (no surprise here, totally worth the root). Along with that wipe came the rage of Google and Samsung.. don't know why but most apps just force close when I try to open them.
Long-story short I need to regain access to my Google account, my messages (so I can, you know, message my grandmother so she can pick me up at the university) and the ability to have a functional good phone.
I've learned my lesson, I'm leaving this rooting stuff to the more apt. However I need guidance on how to what I believe is called "flash" the system back into having all the permissions it used to have. Not sure what I'm talking about any more.
If it is possible to keep the root and somehow fix the problem (regain access to basic services such as messages and play store) that'd be nice. But really, I just wanna travel back in time and forget this ever happened so late at night that it's almost morning and my feelings are extra hurt.
Hello Dear ,
Its ok just re install the official rom for ur device n900w8 after that just do a full for ur device through stock recovery then install twrp through odin in AP tap from this link
https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxynote3canada.html
After that boot ur phone to custom recovery then install supersu from this link
https://download.chainfire.eu/743/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip
That's all for rooting ur device mate
Thank You ,
Thanks for the help! But I'm still a bit lost. I did as you suggested and found the 5.0 stock firmware, which I am currently downloading. I will open Odin, plug in my phone, put the firmware file in the AP slot and install it from the download screen on my phone. Same process as the rooting that failed earlier.
However, I don't get the TWRP part.
"after that just do a full for ur device through stock recovery then install twrp through odin in AP tap from this link"
Is that step necessary, or is it just in case I want to try rooting my device again? Also, in the list you provided doesn't seem to be 5.0/lollipop for the phone. But then again, I'm not entirely sure how all that works.
Thanks again!
Installing the Stock firmware did not work. Once the phone boots, everything stops working unexpectedly.
Oh well, I guess it's time to take it to a store ,_,
Thanks anyways!
I am in utter shock. For some strange reason, factory reset worked and my phonne is ok. Not sure how... but it actually worked!
Nice to hear that mate congrats then
THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRENTY AND I AM NOT AT FAULT IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE.
I AM NO LONGER ACTIVELY WORKING ON THIS PROJECT AS I AM WORKING ON A PROJECT FOR THE S7
I have achieved root on my Amp Prime. SM-J320AZ for cricket. It has been tested on other versions of the J3 and has worked. If it you do decide to test it, please report back on your device model and carrier.
ON THE SM-J320AZ It does NOT trip knox to do this. If you try to flash any TWRP you will trip Knox and get the samsung BSOD and will have to use Smart Switch do an emergency recovery,
DISCLAIMER: THIS COULD BRICK YOUR PHONE. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG. IF YOU NEED HELP PM ME
First Enable Dev options and select OEM Unlock And USB debuging
Than flashed this modded boot file using odin to exploit SElinux and enables ADB:
drive.google.com/open?id=0B1rwlbcYZ8i6NldnV0ppVHJ3Z1U
place the file in AP and make sure Re-partition is NOT check.
Then I ran Wondershare TuneGO I was able to achieve perm root. It looks like it fails after it reboots a few times and then gets stuck on a black screen, when this happens, do a battery pull then restart and run SU, it will have you update the binary's then you are rooted. Enjoy
Note: Sometimes you get a failed to install binaries, if you get this you might have to restart 2 or 3 additional times after battery pull to install SU binaries.
Thanks and let me know how it goes.
I will post a better guide later, just spent 9 hours working on this now im tired
Xposed for Samsung is untested, please use at your own risk. If you get stuck on booting after installing, use smart switch to do an emergency recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3180960
UPDATE: XPOSED does work if you flash it with FlashFire, make sure the latest version of BusyBox is installed
You might get security notifications saying unauthorized files and such. If you do, set SElinux to Enforcing. Use ADB shell or terminal as SU and type setenforce 1. To check SElinux mode, type getenforce
NOTE: NO CUSTOM RECOVERY YET and WiFi becomes unstable, you will have to turn it off and on a few times to make it work. I am working on this.
To Fix the WiFi issue edit your build.prop using your favorite build.prop editor and change ro.secure.storage.support to false and reboot. You will have to forget your network and re-add it but it should save it and auto connect now.
To fix the warnings, freeze/disable knox, use the search function, their are lots of great tuts on how to do this already.
Known Bugs:
Built in flashlight app does not work, can freeze.
Wifi becomes unstable (See above for temp fix)
Knoxs gives unauthorized errors until disabled.
Disabling androids built in security leaves your device vulnerable. I suggest using PMP once exposed is installed.
I am working on a rooted version of the stock rom with fixes in place to upload, when complete
Look man, you have no idea how long I've been trying to get my j3 rooted. You are the man. I can confirm this works. So obviously we don't have any Roms for this phone, but could I install team win recovery? Not sure what good it would do but do you have any advice on that? I really appreciate you man.

Thanks! Glad this helped. Right now no costume recoveries work. Also if you have stability issues after flash, edit the build prop and find ro.secure.storage.support and set it to false. This will fix errors with the wifi, im working on another fix for this issue right now and getting a CWM/TWRP to work right now

Alrighty. I appreciate all your hard work bro. I've not had any stability issues so far believe it or not. Keep up the good work! Any work you put towards a rom or recovery id be happy to make a donation.
EDIT- Also, which xposed did you flash?
Use the link on the OP and download SDK23 / Arm Build and flash using FlashFire.
I recomend backing everything up before you do, make it the Odin flashable for easiest use
twrp is providing to be more difficult due to the locked bootloader and other security in MM. please stay tuned. Tonights build i flashed worked for the first boot, and then on the second boot locked the phone and soft bricked it.
Man thank you so much, i have been seaching a method for root my device. I can confirm it works on Samsung Galaxy Sol (SM-J321AZ). I updated the SU but now the problem is the Wi-Fi, i don't know how to delete the SS DATA File for fix that. Can you help me please? I don't know what is that file. I'm newbie with this and i want fix this problem, thank you again for your really hard work, i know this is hard!!!
EDIT 1:
Another problem when the USB is connected to PC.
I'm getting this message every time i have connected my device to my PC (Windows) and sometimes the device reboots automatically without reason.
The last thing. I was trying to set SElinux to Enforcing on Terminal Emulator but it says:
"setenforce: Couldn't set enforcing status to '1': Permission denied"
I had to disable the service SecurityLogAgent for remove the security notifications saying "unauthorized files".
EDIT 2:
The problem with the Wi-Fi is when the device reboots it removes automatically all the networks and you have to enter the password again.
I received many errors on the menu saying "The system do not respond" and "Unfortunately calendar has stopped" i was unable to take a picture of this or take a Screenshot because it was blocked.
The flashlight icon doesn't work anymore after root the device. (I had to use a 3rd party app for turn on the Flashlight) It works good on the Camera.
I had to use Smart Switch in Emergency Mode for get back my device.

Please follow the directions above with the build prop editor to fix the wifi issue. As for the flashlight and the warnings they are still a work in progress, but doing the build prop edit has fixed some of the issues for me and I no longer get the error messages.
To set SELinux to enforce you have to do it through terminal emulator or ADB shell.
type:
SU
setenforce 1
getenforce
this should also help with the errors.
The Final method i used to get rid of the errors was, I froze all the knox processes.
The usb error i still get also but has had no effect on performance or on sync
Galaxy sol
Thank you for getting a root. I have a question/problem.
when I go to run wondershare it says it can not transfer data please reconnect and try again. it also says something about smart transfer.
do I need to use the paid version or will the free version work?
I have usb debugging enabled, I was able to flash the tar file via odin
Any help is greatly appreciated
This might not work for your phone as it is for the Galexy Amp Prime from cricket. The free version is all i used.
Thank you for the reply, I did see one poster above was able to get it to work on the sol. I'll pm him and ask if he had the same problems.
ok, so I have another question. I re-read above and looked at the attached picture and I was great getting the security log error when I tried to use wondershare. I downloaded package disabler and I ran it again and it didn't show that error but still said unable to root. Do you know if disableing the security log like that would make a difference? my model number is SM-J321AZ
Will this work on sm-j320az cricket?
Quick question, if I were to factory reset or actually more so wipe my system and third party apps through flashfire, would anything incredibly drastic happen and also would I lose root?
Edit- to the guy above, yes this is for our j320az for cricket
I have a j320r4, for US Cellular. Tried a variety of root methods for my phone and all have failed so far. Would flashing this to my phone brick it? Would I be able to reflash stock if it did?
I might ask, what method does this use to obtain root. The guy I was working with on this phone seems to think my bootloader is locked.

If you do a factory reset after root you MAY lose it. I played around with it and did a system wipe from the bootloader and was able to install SU and reroot with out having to do anything else as when you do a factory reset it wipes the /data and /cache but leaves /system intact. My xposed framework also stayed intact after a factory reset. I do recommend installing Xposed and FlashFDS kit to fix security warnings from TIMA and KNOX

As this is not for your model, I am not sure. Sorry.
thanks works for the gophone.
I will wait for your final fix solution, i hope you get it soon. Thanks for this hard work, i'm really happy with this )
Not sure if my phone is a lost cause and only good as a door stop. My phone at one stage would only display a screen asking me to plug into smart switch to recover the phone so I tried that but smart switch wasn't happening. I downloaded the latest stock rom and installed it successfully via ODIN but now my phone will not get past the boot logo. I can only get into download mode, Any advise on if I can get my phone working again?
Thanks
Andrew

Bro, I've been there and this is why I made an account on xda to see if my s6 (G-920F) can be fixed in any way. Yesterday I had the same thing as you when I tried to re-flash the phone with its proper, latest stock-ROM (UK/EE Nougat 7.0). Given how it hadn't worked, the update attempt through Odin screaming a big "FAIL!" at me, I was afraid I had bricked it completely, so I proceeded to re-install TWRP with Odin by putting the phone in download mode. I wiped the phone again with TWRP and now I'm not sure what I have to do as I am stuck with the UK Nougat bootloader and nothing else on it.
Before this whole ordeal I had rooted the phone and unlocked the bootloader following some instructions from a Youtube video and successfully installed a nighty build of LineageOS, which was buggy as **** (couldn't answer calls, use data, use the camera and a ****ton of apps were just not working). Dumbly enough, I thought I could just remove it through a wipe and put something else back on it but oh was I wrong.
Right now I'd just want to get my phone back to working (like you), as I am out of a job and need to be able to take phone calls with a normal, working phone.
Sorry I couldn't be of much help, but yeah maybe a first step towards fixing it would be to flash TWRP recovery on it and through the terminal, see what bootloader version you have with the command "getprop ro.bootloader". At least you will know the version of the broken bootloader you're experiencing difficulties with and *hopefully* an actual dev from the forums will entertain themselves in trying to solve this noobish puzzle we've created for ourselves.
Seriously, if there is a dev ready to board this crazy adventure with us, please help.
My namesake or username is pretty much a clue to what got me into this position.
I wish it was that simple for me mate, I cant access the recovery menu, I've tried flashing various recovery options but cant boot into any of them. I'm certain I could fix the phone if I could get to recovery. I'm now leaning towards it being a hardware fault with my phone. As you have access to recovery I think you may have more luck with your phone.

Oh dear.
Yeah it does sound like something got deeply ****ed up in this case. I had the luck to somehow get past the smart switch error when the phone died of low battery. As I attached it to the charger I quickly boot it into download mode before the screen would become a bootloop again and that's where I was able to reinstall the latest version of TWRP recovery. After that, I was able to flash a stock ROM of Nougat that didn't have a ****ed up bootloader like I had. Specifically the one from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/help/device-5-binary-3-s6-sm-g920f-t3706025

It's the Netherlands stock-ROM. Not sure if you're from the US and the carrier would be wrong with that CSC, but it was a good bet for me. I got my phone back to working normally now.
Worst case scenario I'd say see if you have a phone repair shop nearby and ask them an opinion on what could be wrong. I'm just an amateur like you.
Still, I wish you the best of luck with it. Maybe there's still some hope. :/
