Hi guys!
I'm from India and I had imported a European n9005 LTE. The phone was unlocked and it worked fine. I rooted it. Then to get Kitkat, I flashed N9005XXUENB7 firmware through Odin 3.07 and rooted it again. That worked perfectly too. Later I flashed N9005XXUENB7 again to lose the root. Then I decided to downgrade to the original firmware N9005XXUDMJ7_N9005OXADMJ4_BTU through Odin 3.07 and it failed and I got stuck with “Firmware upgrade encountered an issue, Please select recovery mode in Kies & Try Again” message. At this point, I put the phone in download mode and tried to flash N9005XXUENB7 again, choosing N9005XXUENB4_N9005DBTENB1_DBT_PIT, and checking the Re-Partition box along with Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time. I completed the flashing successfully and got the PASS message, but now the phone is plagued by major problems. It doesn't identify my sim card anymore, the camera barely works, the phone keeps restarting, and the whole system has become extremely unstable.
Is there any way to fix this? Please help me guys. I'm desperate because I love this phone.
Sorry for the double post.

So I tried to root my Samsung Galaxy S6 today using TWRP and it got stuck in a boot loop. I went to wipe to cache and accidentally wiped to system. So now there is no OS installed. I know I need to somehow put an OS on the device but I'm in Canada and when I go to samsung's site to download the firmware, there is no Canada option. I bought the phone off of amazon and it came with a European wall charger because it was imported, but how do I know what firmware to download?
Also, when I have found the right firmware, how do I flash it onto the device? I can no longer access TWRP, all I can get is the downloading screen thing. Can I use Odin/how do I use Odin?
Somebody help me I'm panicking because I broke my brand new phone!
You should check the Amazon listing to see which model number you have. It's probably SM-920F.
Once you have the correct firmware downloaded, Google a guide to flashing Galaxy S6 firmware with Odin. There are a lot of them out there.

On the back of the phone it should say which model you have, for example G920F, G920W8, G920P etc.
Download the proper firmware from Sammobile, then follow the tutorial that the following thread has a link to.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/sm-g925f-s6-firmware-thread-t3078841
If the variant you have is the European model, G920F, I recomend you install the unbranded firmware.
IMPORTANT! MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE PROPER FIRMWARE! INSTALLING THE WRONG FIRMWARE CAN HARD BRICK YOUR DEVICE!
I really hope this advice helped!
Really important is only that you pick the right model to download. The region isn't that important. Go to sammobile and download your stock rom, but be sure to not pick a branded one, because they are full of junk.
Also, you must use ODIN in that Download-Mode. Open ODIN, plug your device into your pc and see, if ODIN shows up your device. If yes, select "PDA" or "AP" (depending on ODIN Version) and select your ROM that you have downloaded. Then click on start. Don't touch your phone, your cable or your computer for best results. Wait ODIN say "PASS" with a green background. If this occurs, your phone should restart and after 10 mins or so, it should boot Android.
I did the same this as the OP, now I am stuck on the main "Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Powered by Android" screen. I can boot into TWPR and into download. I have tried flashing zip from external SD card with USB-OTG with no luck, I have tried flashing from Odin, multiple Odin versions tried, multiple usb cords tried, multiple computers tried.. all result with <ID:x/xxx> Can't open serial(COM) port."
No matter what I do, I can't seem to get anything to take, not stock firmware or otherwise. Any suggestions.. donations for anyone who can help me solve. lol $$

In odin under options untick Auto Reboot.
Flash Rom
Phone wont reboot once rom has flashed successfully so you will need to do manual reboot.
Go into recovery mode and wipe data.
Reboot phone
that should help let us know if it works
wifi wont turn on
hi, i managed to install the firmware but now the wifi and bluetooth wont turn on, wifi toggle and bluetooth wont go on, it looks like is trying toget on but after 20 seconds justgo back to off. idont know what to do .........
I can't even get any firmware to load as odin continually stops within seconds of starting to flash phone, no matter what firmware I choose it's the same result failed flash?
Hi....
It's about my Samsung Galaxy S6 live demo which i bought some 6 months ago. It was working fine as a G920F. I could make calls, use whatsapp everything.In short, it was a full featured galaxy s6. At that time time i was noob. I didn't know anything about rooting-flashing. I thought retailer has sold me just a rooted phone that's why my software is not updating. I went for custom upgrade, started with super user full unroot, nothing happened. I rebooted and at once device started boot loop and was stuck. I tried everything but nothing helped. I saw a forum
" https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...er-thread-guides-firmwares-t3267738?nocache=1 "
It helped me in knowing it was a demo unit and guided to flash it to stock and then to g920 F but after doing everything whatever it said disabling retail mode updating software in stock demo firmware, I can't flash G920F rom. Whenever I flash via odin it passes but stucks on Samsung live demo screen and on opening recovery mode says "Dm-verity verification failed.. check drk first " and else there is nothing...I am stuck on logo screen :crying:
My s6 was on Android 5.0.2
Firmware was G920FXWU2B0G8
Please help! I am crying :'( I bought it expensive... :"( ... Please help....

DM verity verification failure happens when your bootloader detects that there have been modifications made to the device that it deems to be unsafe.
Your 2 options are:
1) find the correct original firmware to flash via Odin and hope it works.
Or
2) let Samsung repair or replace the device.

What could be the correct original firmware for a demo version?
Also the boot screen even after flashing shows same galaxy logo witha live demo unt written on it...
Is there a way to bypass dm-verity verification? Somehow block the bootloader from detecting modification?
Please help... :"(

No, there's no way to trick the bootloader.

good afternoon forum friends, recently I have had a big problem with a samsung on5 sm-g550T from Tmobile which will install the twrp, then proceeded to root to install the foldermount app and pass data from the games to the sd, the problem is that after the root and install the app the phone suffered a softbrick since it did not go beyond the t-mobile logo, I made a noob error and from the TWRP I made a total full wipe , after that the phone when it came to the samsung logo remained the black screen.
I have tried to solve flashing the following firmwares with odin 3.11. - 3.11.1 and 3.12

https://mega.nz/#!6pIVWKqb!AwIAAAQhFwGEcbVSx6FShLuaoCWB9JMTWCVqWSaak0U
but all give me error at the moment of starting the process of flashing the odin mark fail, I leave captures of the error and the exact model of the team, also try flashing only the recovery first extracting the same from the Md5 with the 7zip but now the phone every time I turn it on, it sends me an error in red letters that you can also see in the capture. The truth is that I am getting desperate and I run out of ideas if someone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it.

I bought a used samsung s7 Sm-G930F but after using the phone for some days i saw an update release so i decided to update it but after download the update it couldnt install it due to some error i dont know is talking of. So after some days to went off and it couldnt come on. So i decided to flash the firmware BTU on it through odin3 but after get PASS in odin3 it keeps gets stuck on SAMSUNG. I have also try factory reset wipe cache before even doing the firmware flash. Also i try downgrading to 7.0 and 6.0 but didnt work. Please help am guessing am missing something. I also notice something when even i boot the phone in recovery mode and plug to my system, my system recognise as SM-G930S, while at the back is written SM-G930F. Pls provide with any possible solution to this issue.
Used phones are often rebranded as other models to try increase resale value. If it says G930S in download mode then that's the phone you have. If you tried flashing G930F software you've probably soft bricked it.
You could try flashing again but using G930S software.
