Sprint Edge with stock lollipop. I tried to root using odin, not sure what happened. Im an idiot, Im leaving for work in 3 hours i cant get my phone going again. When i try and use Kies it asks for a code which i dont have. Can someone give me the correct CF-Auto-Root file??? PLZ help im lost in a sea of information!
Do one thing flash twrp recovery and then u will be able to boot normally..for rooting install su.zip using twrp recovery
Do you have the stock firmware? Get it and Odin to get you going again.
can anyone help me downgrade my note edge n915p from lollipop to kitkat, i tried flashing thru odin but it failed showing error, i want to unlock downgrading the firmware to kitkat...
so it looks like the only place i can find the stock firmware is SAMMOBILE?
Ok i got it! I flashed recovery as advised
All good?
I got the Galaxy S6 yesterday and coming from Nexus 5, I wanted to remove the existing bloatware by flashing the XtrestoLite Deodexed ROM. This one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/samsung-galaxy-s-6--s-6-edge-unified-development/rom-xtrestolite-deodexed-mod-edition-1-3-t3119968
I'm haven't had much experience in rooting and it's my first time flashing a custom ROM. The phone was running on Android 5.1.1.
Apparently I failed. I started with CF-Root but I wasn't sure if it was done correctly. This was followed by TWRP 2.8.7.1 . Then I tried booting up the phone and the boot logo just loops. I tried to wipe the cache as well as the Delvik-cache through TWRP but it's still the same. Then I tried to flash the stock ROM that I found online but I got the error "Nand Write Start" followed by "Fail". I seem to have tried everything and now I just want to get the phone to work again. It shouldn't be so hard.
Someone help me please :crying:
Have you tried to flash the stock rom via Smart Switch software? There's an option in the top of the window where it says "More" called Emergency Recovery. When my S6 bricked nothing but that did the trick, you should give it a try.

How did you do it? I've installed the Smart Switch software but the device doesn't appear under the list in emergency software recovery, so I can't proceed.
Edit: I managed to do it through initialization. I'll update when it's done.
Edit 2: It worked! Thanks so much!

Your PC is recognizing your phone? If not maybe you shall update your drivers first. My S6 is the same model number as yours and it does appears in the Emergency Recovery list.
Another solution could be trying to flash using another version of Odin; I saw a similar problem on another forum and it was solved using Odin 3.10 to reflash the stock firmware.
Also remember that you can't downgrade your firmware once that you are on 5.1.1, no 5.02 or so allowed.

By the sounds of it you're able to boot into twrp? If so then simply boot into twrp, connect to your computer and copy a flashable rom to your phone and install it using twrp instead of odin

How could I transfer the flashable ROM to the phone when I can't have it boot up to connect to my computer?

Since you're using the same model as mine, what are you running on your S6 right now? Are you able to root and flash a custom ROM like XtrestroLite onto Android 5.1.1?
Can you guys help me check if this post has the correct steps or is it missing anything like bootloader and root?

Actually yeah. Earlier tonight I flashed XtreStoLite over stock 5.1.1, but I must confess it wasn't as easy as I thought, mainly because I didn't followed the steps in the right way and I ended up having to root my phone through installing UniKernel, which is pre-rooted and that did the trick for me, because I got stuck in the Samsung logo right after I tried to flash with CF-AutoRoot, needless to say I obviously couldn't root with that method and had to reflash stock 5.1.1 firmware to unbrick my phone, install UniKernel, and after that I was able to enter my phone config, uncheck the reactivation block under Find My Mobile settings (which was the reason for me to get stuck at the S-logo) and then flash through Odin XtreStoLite deodexed and Xposed FW too, so I can tell you for sure that SM-G920I can run XSL like a charm.

1. So what is the correct order?
2. Did you have to manually unlock bootloader?
3. And is it a must to install uniKernel in order to root the device?
I have no idea how to proceed now.
This requires a lot more effort than I thought :fingers-crossed:
1. The correct order apparently WAS to flash 5.1.1 bootloader and modem over 5.0.2, then root, then TWRP, then flash XtreStoLite, or at least that was what I understood from Edgar's guide (as you can tell, I hurried myself too much and was to excited to flash XLS, so I didn't read properly).
Since I (and I think you did too) installed stock 5.1.1 first, there was no way to autoroot nor ping-pong root the device, that was the reason I got stuck in the Samsung logo screen after trying to autoroot, so I had to reflash stock 5.1.1 to regain access to the device settings/Find My Mobile as I explained before, after that I flashed UniKernel and that did the trick, no other steps were required to achieve root access beyond this point.
2. I didn't had to, but your carrier may have locked yours. My device is a SM-G920I (as yours) from Telcel carrier, so I can tell for sure.
3. There are several others way to root devices running over 5.0.2, but according to my personal research there aren't much options on 5.1.1 other than flash a pre-rooted kernel, but UniKernel isn't the only pre-rooted kernel, so you can choose whichever you like the most.
If I were you the first thing I'd try, as I said earlier, would be to switch to another Odin version or another firmware (as long as it is 5.1.1) and if that don't do the trick, then I'd update drivers and try via Smart Switch again.

What did you use to root? May I ask for the link? I just tried flashing CF AutoRoot and now I think it's bricked again. (RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING) I'm thinking it might be due to incompatibility because I got it from here (https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/#odin) and the Android version states 5.0.2.

Yep, that was the exact moment where mine got stuck too, as I stated before at that time I had to reflash stock firmware. The trouble is caused by CF-Autoroot, it won't work at all when you're on 5.1.1 (at least with SM-G920I) and if you try to root using this method, you'll get stuck with the message "RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING". You'll have to reflash to stock too, I'm affraid...
Flash UniKernel via Odin once you're on 5.1.1 stock again and see the magic happen. Once you have root access, gained by this kernel, you can install TWRP and flash XtreStoLite or any other rom you may want. Here is the direct link to the post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/samsung-galaxy-s-6--s-6-edge-unified-development/kernel-stockmod-kernel-t3100395
Hope you get lucky.

I just did that before you suggested it and it worked! I was so elated! I love you bro (no homo). Our situations are identical. Now I have XtrestroLite running on the S6! Thank you so much!
Simply put:
1. Update bootloader and modem
2. Install TWRP without root via Odin
3. Install UniKernel via TWRP
4. Install ROMs!

Glad to read that, dude!
Yep, our situations are identical and also happened at the same time haha.
Now's time to enjoy! :good:
So I rooted my P907A a while back. Recently tried to install TWRP, but that went wrong and now it says "System Software not recognized by AT&T...etc...etc" when booting to recovery. How do I fix this? Also, is there anything else we can do with this tablet yet? Install new ROMs?
Can anyone help?
I believe your bootloader is locked, and if that's the case, you cannot use a custom recovery.
you can ask someone on the forum with the same model to backup their stock recovery, with Flashify, share it, and you flash it, with Flashify
or
you can odin a completely stock .tar of your firmware
this will put it back to the regular one -- better than nothing, but it is mostly useless anyways
I have note 5 t-mobile 6.0.1
I did something wrong when I tried to root it, I was following the instructions for the rooting the note but unfortunately something when wrong, I used Odin to flash the TWRP than wipe format data than I stoked there, now the phone power on and take me directly at TWRP, is possible to just flash the original firmware and start all over? And where I can get the original t-mobile firmware?
Thank you
Hi !
You can`t flash stock firmware via twrp
Here is a thread for the latest stock firmware for your device , you may also check on the samsung firmwares website
Good luck !
Hey, I need a little help here.
Been trying to root my S7 on Nougat several times now and it always fails. I've wiped my data and cache, installed the newest stock firmware with Odin several times now, but whenever I try to root it via Auto-root my S7 gets stuck booting on the Samsung logo forever.
- S7 Nougat up to date
- Odin version: 3.12.3
- Auto-root for my phone from chainfire
Well now I've had enough of that **** and I'm here asking for help. How do I get out of this bootloop without having to wipe all my data again? I just want my phone rooted finally. I do not want to have to install the stock firmware again and set everything up again!
Just bought my galaxy s7 yesterday and had exactly the same problem. After some researches i found out that autoroot was not working with nougat. You need to flash TWRP using ODIN and then flash SuperSU from TWRP. Hope I helped you.
