softbricked s6 edge + can't flash anything - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi all,
so i got a screwed situation here, i have a SM-G925F 32GB (galaxy s6 edge) international
the problem is, it is softbricked, reactivation-lock is enabled and OEM Unlock is disabled :/ it has never been rooted or modified, its bone stock.
anyway i tried flashing the newest stock ROM, it gets stuck on boot.img or cache.img. i tried installing all the firmware components one by one. correct PIT file first, then sboot.bin, followed by boot.img. that goes flawless, i get the samsung galaxy s6 edge splash screen (prior to boot animation)
then i tried installing the modem, output:
<ID:0/003> Now Writing.. Please wait about 2 minutes
and eventualy return an error code, + the phone doesn't show the samsung splash screen anymore and goes back to that cyan screen which says something with smartswitch.
so i started again at square 1: PIT --> sboot.bin --> boot.img, that went flawless, got the thing on the samsung logo again.
but this time i went on and flashed system.img: output:

well, flashing system.img took aprox 1.5 secconds! thats impossible... what am i doing wrong here?
sidenote, <ID:0/003> Initialzation.. takes 3/5 minutes, some rare occasions, 2 seconds. is that normal?
i tried different ODIN versions, and also the ones from SkipSoft. i tried several different USB cables, 2 different computers and a lot of different usb ports. i also cleaned the crap out of my usb port inside the phone.
reinstalled drivers, turned antivirus and firewall defender off, always ran odin as administrator, cleaned the pc with ccleaner etc.
errors i keep getting are:
<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed
<ID:0/003> NAND Write Start!! [eventually does nothing and throws errors]
details about the phone odin mode:

i'm trying to flash G925FXXU6ERF5_G925FPHN6ERF1.tar with ZEROLTE_EUR_OPEN_HIDDEN50M.pit

Flashing in ODIN failing when going back to stock

Hello,
I am attempting to flash my phone back to stock using these directions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2586319
When I boot the phone normally, I get the Verizon warning about non-Verizon software. I am able to go to Download mode just fine. I have tried both the ODIN (I've tried JODIN as well) and VZW utility methods and neither is working. I have successfully re-partitioned using the PIT in the link, but the actual tar ball fails. Here is what I get in ODIN 3.07:

I've done a ton of Googling on this and can't seem to find any answers on what to do. Does anyone have any advice to get this phone working again or is it bricked?
Thanks for any help!
Ok, so it looks like my cable was bad. After switching the cable things seem to be working now.

N915A stuck on "booting to recovery" screen

Hey guys,
I normally never post "please help" threads, but i'm genuinely stuck on this one. I'm used to HTC devices and this is my first Samsung I've had and I've tried everything I can think of to fix it but nothing seems to work.
I got a notification there was an update to the device so I ran the OTA update to lollipop, and since then, the phone was acting weird. A few days back, it froze and then rebooted itself and appeared to be stuck in a bootloop, not going past the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge splash screen for a few seconds before rebooting again and again. I tried to boot into recovery mode by pressing the Home + Power + Volume up button, and the blue "Booting to recovery" shows in top left, but then it immediately starts to reboot again. So recovery will not load no matter what I do.
I then downloaded Odin after some research and found the ALL_ATT_N915AUCU2COI2_N915AATT2COI2_CL5613658_QB6196305_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar file and was able to get the device into download mode. I put the file into the AP box, checking the two boxes I was supposed to (Auto Reboot and F reset time) and hit start. It passed. When it rebooted, it immediately tries to boot back to the recovery screen and the same issue persists. Odin output below:

Once Odin does it's thing, here's the output from the program, which says it passed with no issue. However, it will NOT boot and continues to loop trying to load the recovery.

I tried to do the process again, same issue. I took it to a Samsung center in best buy, there's a small crack by the fingerprint sensor so they said they warranty is voided and they won't fix it but they tried to flash it as well and couldn't. But he didn't try very hard.
Not sure what to do at this point, if anyone could help or offer guidance I would be much appreciative >.<
I can still get it into update mode and I did something after that I can't remember but it popped up with the yellow exclamation that said there was a problem loading the firmware update. I tried downloading Kies3 but it says the device is incompatible, Samsung told me to try with Smart switch. I put the model number in and it asks for the S/N which I put it in as well to try and recover that way, but it says the SN is invalid no matter how many times I've put it in on either Kies3 or Smart Switch.
Please help?
Thank you in advance
Update: I'm a dummy and noticed I was putting IMEI in for S/N on Smart Switch - but I put correct S/N and Smart switch just closes.
I did manage to load PIT file and got rid of the recovery loading screen... but still just boot loops.. I'm screwed huh?

" Custom Binary (recovery) Blocked by FRP Lock"
So as of now when i boot the phone it goes into
" An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the emergency recovery function in the smart Switch PC software. "
Then i press Vol Down, Home and power to get into Odin

I have tried loading multiple bootloaders in odin but all seem to fail. I never installed samsung kies or smart switch so i cant do a restore though them. For some reason the Vol up, Home and Power combination doesn't load into the odin menu to do a factory reset. I talked to the local samsung store and they said because my phone is an international model there is nothing they can do apart from replace the motherboard, which to me sounded dodgy. I have tried all the local phone repair shops and they are as stumped as i am and i cant seem to find any answers on the web, i apologize for my lack of technical knowledge in advance.
any help would be appreciated!

Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F) bricked and odin fails to flash.

So I recently bricked my s7 by accidentaly wiping the os in twrp (wich apparently deletes twrp as well since i cant start it). But that should't have been that much of a problem and i tried flashing with odin (v3.09;v3.12.7;v3.13.1) with the newest firmware on samobile (tried android 8.0 and 7.0) but all seems in vain as odin just says sboot.bin FAIL! complete(write) operation failed.
I have also tried with and without re-partition checked since that seems to solve a problem with older odin versions i tried (stuck on set partition).
I would really appreciate any help what so ever.
Big thanks in advance.

It's failing on the boot loader file, post the firmware your trying to flash.
What country are you in?

THIS Is the latest firmware for your device, Germany unbranded, you don't need to use T Mobile.
The firmware you are trying to flash is older than the firmware which was already on your device, you cannot downgrade a boot loader ever.
Flash DBT as i've linked above
Thank you very much it worked out just fine ^^
i have the same problem, what software should i install, thanks in advance
