Galaxy S6 SM-G920F RP SWREV B6 k2 s2 - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i have here a problem with my galaxy s6
this started when i tried to root the galaxy s6.. so i did and it worked just fine for 3-4 days then i noticed a slowdown in everything and my geekbench 4 scores went down so wanted to unroot it ... and i did.
That is where the problem started. Every time i tried to unroot it my phone gets an error and does not boot.
I solved that by just re-flashing the stock recovery, but my speed is still at the bottom.. so i tried to install android 5 (official from samsung) and i got an error like this that not many people are getting (numbers are not the same) RP SWREV B6 k2 s2 this b6, k2, s2... what are they and most people say that the phone is bricked but all of them are having different numbers there like b3 k0 s0.
My OS is still working ok but its still slow
i am not downloading SER-G920FXXU5EQAC-20170310145517.zip android 7.0 (samsung stock) but i am not sure should i flash it because i would rather have slower phone than no phone. This happened when i tried to downgrade from android 7.0(samsung official) to android 5(samsung official), people on forums are saying that can't be downgraded but its ok to install the same stock rom from samsung to the device

It probably wasn't the root that slowed it down, but an app, or too much space was being occupied (e.g. by social apps). Should've tried clearing the cache and stuff first.

[Q] Rooted Verizon Galaxy S4 Problem

Hi.
I made an account just to post this because I honestly don't know where else to go. I'm new at rooting so please explain everything in simple terms.
I rooted my Verizon Galaxy S4 a few days ago and everything was great. I did a few soft mods with Xposed and Wanam and everything was still great. I thought I would wait until the weekend to do some custom ROM flashing and whatnot since I knew it was a time consuming process.... MAN was it a time consuming process. Mainly because I messed up my whole phone.
I installed Safestrap v3.71 (CWM Recovery wasn't compatible with my phone or something...?) and flashed Hyperdrive RLS13 to my MK2 build Verizon Galaxy S4 on ROM Slot 1. It worked great but I saw that all my free space in my internal memory was taken up because of my Stock ROM being too large. So I proceed to wipe data from the Stock ROM slot after backing it up and putting the backup on my computer. I factory reset the Stock ROM and hit reboot. I think the error occurred because I forgot to reselect the ROM Slot 1. Or maybe factory resetting like that isn't supposed to happen... I don't know.
But now my phone won't boot up all the way. It's stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen. I tried booting into recovery but it just takes me to the stock recovery. Apparently Safestrap is unable to be booted into directly or something... so i tried to factory reset from there and it did.
Now my phone won't even go into recovery mode. If I try it will say "Recovery Booting" but the screen will go black and reboot again and get stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen.
I HAVE LOOKED EVERYWHERE ON THE INTERNET and nothing directly applies to me or is simple enough for me to understand... I am currently downloading the NO-WIPE method stock ROM or something for what I think applies to me from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578209 so I can put that into Odin which I downloaded (but don't really know how to use) and it says it will take 3 hours to download. GREAT. More waiting. I would like something quicker if possible.
SO MY QUESTION IS:
WHAT THE HELL DO I DO???
Specs of my phone again:
Verizon Galaxy S4 SCH-1545
Android 4.3
Build MK2
Kernel Mk2
(I'm not even sure what all that means but there it is)
ALL HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED BECAUSE I DON"T KNOW WHAT TO DO!
Thank you. So. Very. Much.
Ditto

REPLY:brother I do feel ya..I have S4 SCH-1545...Was messing around with root..Didn't know I had it 100% cause of the whole kingo super user app...Any who I ended up soft brick in in Bootloop mode..Red Verizon Screen wouldn't get past it..So I found similar firmware NO Thanks to SamMobile..Verizon 5.0 lolipop..1545pp...Not sure what the pp after 1545 stood for either...so I lemme explain how I got in to Bootloop mode..I downloaded kingroot and it literally broke my fone..Maybe it was to much to handle...kingroot and kingroot plus superuser app..and twrp as well...So I flashed some firmware I found online with Odin and it worked...Took a good couple if minutes but it worked..

When all else fails try another ROM as it sounds like its a issue within the ROM. And if you're worried about not getting back to stock don't, just download your stock firmware from a site like Sammobile.com and flash using odin and it will return your device to stock no matter what (Except brick)
Thankyou,any Room recomendation?if possible a Room that has been proven working great at samsung galaxy tab 2 p 5100 without problem.

Brother. It's not room it is rom.
And search yourself for it and read others people's reviews about that before download.
When i try to flash a new ROM i always end up with this"set_metadata_recursive:some changes failed"after that i get"E:Error in /external_sd/ROM.ZIP(example Omnirom/cyanogenmod)".And after that i get"(status 7)" and lastly"installation aborted".

[Q] What type of brick is my Galaxy note 10.1 gt n8010 stuck?

Two days ago my Galaxy Note 10.1 gt-n8010 got stuck at the initial screen (Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1)
It was working normally, and it was last successfully upgraded to a custom rom and CWM 6.0.3.6 a month ago.
The custom rom was (to my best knowledge Android Revolution HD 11.2 - 4.1.2)
Booting into recovery and download modes works.
CWM recovery works partially. Erasing Cache en resetting to factory works, and sometimes results in getting to the second splash screen of the boot process where it again gets stuck (Samsung animation keeps glowing), but more it keeps getting stuck at he first boot screen.
Erasing Dalvic cache leads to immediate reboot.
CWM log files cant be opened / external sd card can't be reached/mounted.
So CWM is only working for a small part.
I've attached images of the CWM screens including a log-screen that shows that files and folders cannot be found.
Using ODIN, to flash a new CWM or custom/original ROM result in a FAIL message.
Tried different ODIN version, two original Samsung data cables and two computers. Alle the same result. FAIL.
I'm hesitant to continue now without some help. I might do more harm and destroy all chances there are to recover this tablet.
I've flashed all my phones and tablets before. I'm not an expert, but never had a mishap, because I triple read the instructions. The situation that arises now is not a result of a failed upgrade/flash, but suddenly appeared one morning.
On the last days i thought i had also broken my tablet and i had more or less the same problem. If i were you i would directly download an official 4.4.2 and flash it via odin. Then if you everything works i would try whatever you want to flash
Try changing recovery. Give TWRP a try. Had it happen with a phone and switching recoveries solved it.
Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Free mobile app
Well I had the same problem due to toooo many consecutive reboots
I was on gnabo then wid twrp
then I reflashed 4.4.2 update via odin and everything was a breeze after that
and one more thing
be sure to change the recovery cause the same one might not work again
well at least it didn't do worth me
I use philz now
Can't flash anything
Tried everything I could find but nothing works. I'm using windows 7 and cannot flash anything using Odin.
Download mode and CWM recovery still boot.
Are there other ways to communicate and reprogram the galaxy note 10.1?

are you sure you do not have a bad cable
I've used two different original Samsung cables. Same result.
Brick?
Change a Odin version like odin 3.07 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1837605?
your odin shows your device is Samsung I9505 Galaxy S4
Where does Odin show the device is a i9505? It's a n8010.
reCAPTCHA
I am having similar issues (Galaxy Note 10.1 N8010 Gnabo ROM) - stuck on the samsung logo (never managed to get past it though) boots into recovery but can't mount sd card OR internal storage. Can't flash anything using Odin, always gets a Complete(Write) operation failed. Any suggestions ?
Looks like we're both in the same sinking boat.

Nothing yet.... I've tried one old backup of v5 I've had and that won't boot now as well...
Really strange. I'm hoping to get it working somehow over the weekend latest, since I'll be on business trip next week and would like to have operating device on airplanes.

Uni starts next week!

I've seen few other occurrences of this on different roms on various forums, so probably not Gnabo issue. also, nobody nowhere had a fix for it
I had similar problem last November with a stock 4.4.2 ROM. Fortunately it was still in warranty (2 years in the UK) and Samsung took it in and replaced both battery and main board. They did not explain what was wrong, only that they were seeing quite a few with this issue. Could it be flash failure?

I don't think it was flash failure, at least not in my case, since device worked without any issue for quite a while after last flashing... what was different now is that my battery was drained out for the first time i quite a while...

Hi XDADEVX,
Have you tried Samsung Kies? Last time this sort of thing happened to me, I used samsung kies plugged phone into computer and used the factory backup reset, typed in my serial number from the box my S6 Came in and boom, 30 minutes later stock rom installed, but this locked the bootloader again so had to unlock and re install a custom recovery.

Strange are you typing it in correctly, Have a little google around for what a S6 Serial Number looks like and you should be okay.

Note 4 Dreadful unusable performance!

Hi Guys,
Hopefully this is in the right section
I have a Note 4 SM-N910G and its just turned absolutely useless since I factory flashed it. I have rooted it before and bricked it and un bricked it before so have some experience with it. I recently wiped my phone and did a firmware restore using Samsung Kies and since I did the phone is absolutely useless. It started out fine for an hour or two and now it lags by like a minute with any action, even trying to bring up the keyboard when typing. It will reset itself, lock itself, crash, just un useable. I've tried reflashing it again stock a couple times and still the same everytime. It went from perfectly fine to dreadful with the original mentioned restore. I did just recently get an error code of "sbl1 partition doesn't exist" in Boot recovery mode.
Does anyone know if this is fixable and not a hardware issue?
Should I try and just root it again and flash a non-oem rom? (I havent had the time to do it recently)
many thanks,
Tekkado
Hi Guys,
Also I should add that when I was rooted the phone was fine but when i went to unroot through super user the phone was still functioning as though rooted and I couldnt download software updates because my device was "modified".
So thats when i just flashed stock firmware and again now flashing through odin aswell it proceeds fine then the device will say installing updates and then give a no command error or seandroid not enforced. Everytime is basically a different message.
How can I just wipe everything and get back to stock?
Thanks
So to add to this is there any relationship between the firmware running and the bootloader? I just realised that before i tried to flash stock firmware i was rooted and didnt un root via superuser because in the past that did jack all.
I flashed dr. ketan rom this morning and the phone was operating as normal very snappy but as soon as i downloaded a new app from the play store (reddit and chrome) again it turned to absolute crap.
Is there a disconnect here that i missing that can be fixed?
Thanks
