Its because you rooted the phone. You can unroot it with SuperSU .
Another way is flashing the stock firmware via ODIN. Can be downloaded HERE
Btw your phone is "SCH-i535"

I. can't perform a factory reset
I thought it was because of my bootloader being locked so I tried using EZ UNLOCK and after it successfully unlocking it,I tried restarting my phone but it couldn't turn ON again...I can't even boot to recovery or anywhere else.. please what do I do from here

[[Need help with soft bricked grand prime]]

Version of Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime:Galaxy grand prime s920l
I have a soft bricked grand prime, my reactivation lock was still enabled and it's in a constant boot loop.
I can access the recovery mode, attempted to factory reset, clear cache and restore, which did not work.
I can access download mode and connect to Odin with my laptop, yet I can not find my stock room or anything to restore my phone and take it out of the boot loop.
Please help me with this problem, I can't stand looking at my phone which after paying for everything, service and all cost me close to 300 dollars..

Download Samsung Kies and do a emergency firmware update or something like that. Then put your exact phone model, s/n, and sit back and let Kies do its thing

Samsung J1 (2016) FRP lock

Hello. I have bricked my J1 2016 galaxy device. I've tried to upgrade android to 6.0, but it failed because of the FRP (factory recovery protection). Now phone shows that i have to connect it via Smart Switch PC and try emergency recovery. But when i plug the phone, nothing happens. All i see is that my phone is not supported. So actually it is bricked device. How can i remove that lock, or bypass it? Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016), j120fn.
Update: I was able to enter emergency recovery mode, but, the phone auto-quits the download mode. How can i fix that?
I'm desperately in need of any help.

Greetings and welcome to assist. Can you get into download mode ? Smartswitch/kies both require download mode for emergency firmware recovery. Also you could use odin if you have recovery mode
Good Luck

Bricked Device after flash TWRP recovery

Hi all,
I'm not new in XDA but i'm new in Samsung and yesterday i bricked my device. i own a Samsung Galaxy S8+ G955F
What i did was, first ticked OEM Unlock and USB Debugging in Developer options and then flashed the original TWRP recovery for Galaxy S8+.
After reboot the phone bootloop, i only can go to Download Mode and after that i trigger the Knox too.
If i try to flash an original Samsung rom i solve the problem?
Any help please?
Thx.

Solved by flashing a stock rom.

Reflash stock recovery.

Jtag dead phone to life and rewrite IMEI
First of all my phone is the s8+ G955fd, but I am sure that the people that helped me can help most Samsung owners with bricked phones.
My phone ended up being stuck on the first boot screen, I couldn't get into recovery or download mode. I installed TWRP and after that I lost my IMEI numbers( dual sim), so I tried to reflash stock and thats when i became bricked. I searched someone to help and found reference to the Fonefunshop in England. I sent it there and they said that the eMMC chip was bad. I searched for someone who could write to it or put a new one on the motherboard . I found A2Z cellular in Ottawa Canada. They used jtag to restore it to stock and they told me that the Fonefunshop had not opened the phone which is necessary to use jtag as they claimed, so avoid them.
The phone was now back doing everything it should except the IMEI's were null like before. I gave them the original IMEI's and the phone is working like new.
If your Samsung is bricked these guys can probably fix it and it won't cost much to find out.
