I'm stuck in a boot loop after replacing my build.prop file, I replaced it with my own stock unedited one that I made a back up of with the one I edited with those RAM fixes. That did nothing and made my phone even slower so I used ES explorer and moved my stock file to the system folder and did an overwrite. Now my phone is stuck in a bootloop. I'm rooted not running a custom rom or recovery. Is there any way I can get this working without doing a factory reset? Yes I already tried wiping cache.
EDIT: DID A FACTORY RESET AND WIPED CACHE STILL STUCK IN BOOTLOOP.

always you have to do a nandroid backup for this case, but if you don't have the only way to fix this problem is flashing de stock firmware.

Would you recommend the original stock firmware or using a custom ROM?

first you have to get out of that situation, that mean you need a stock firm. Later read tutorials to install a custom rom, because if you have problems modification build.prop installing a custom rom is more harder. Download and install the stock firmware.

Agreed. I'm still curious how I managed to put my phone into a bootloop by restoring my own build.prop file.
While using odin to flash firmware my usb connection kept cunning in and out for some reason I dont know why I even installed the updates. And it failed. Now I cant get rid of "An error has occured while updating the device software use emergency........" screen.... Now what.

Get into download mode, use odin to flash back the stock firmware.

Did you make sure permissions was set correctly after the replacement? ALWAYS check them after moving crucial system files. build.prop should be set at rw-r-r (0644)

I got it to work, used another USB cable and odin finished installing it after 20 tries of USB fails.
OK, I flashed latest firmware with ODIN, now I am stuck at Samsung logo, no way to boot, I get the dm-verify error in recovery...
Any help, please?

You either flashed an incorrect firmware or the downlaad was corrupted.

MAN BUT MY PC DONT RECOGNIZE MY DEVICE :s Y ALREADY WIPE EVERYTHING AND NOTHING... I HAVE THE FIRMWARE BUT I CANT FLASH
Then you DO NOT have the same issue. As for you, there are already a dozen threads regarding the PC does not recognize the phone.
So yesterday i done a pretty stupid thing of restarting my phone after I hid my SU binary using hide my root. This left what i think was a soft-brick as it was stuck on the samsung animation. I then stupidly enough got confused with my TWRP recovery menu and ended up wiping out my OS, leaving only the TWRP recovery on the phone. I then decided to download a 6.1.1 stock rom for my SM-G920F. When i tried flashing however, somehow ODIN froze and i made another stupid mistake of restarting my phone from download mode which resulted in the phone being froze on a screen saying " an error has occurred while updating the device software use the emergency recovery function s6 " cant provide an image as this is my first post, but please google the error message if you wish to see it
So i panicked thinking my phone was dead completely and surrendered, but today i managed to hook it up to TWRP and flashed the recovery. Now when i bootup i can access download mode and it boots straight to recovery. To make matters worse I began trying to download the original rom i recieved when i got the phone, however when i try flashing i get errors such as " SW rev, Check Fail: 'x' binary 'y' device "
(x and y vary for each stock rom i tried flashing.)
I have no way of finding out my firmware, bootloader info or anything. Is there ANY fix to this? I've made a huge mess of everything and I'm now desperate. Please, any advice would be a god-send. Thank you for withstanding this crappy post, I'm kind of a noob at xda.
EDIT 1- So I managed to install a custom ROM and kernal as i could transfer files while in TWRP for some reason but a new problem has showed up. So as of right now I have a custom rom installed which works, but when reboot my phone, TWRP is automatically opened after the initial samsung logo. I usually have to reflash my custom ROM (without wiping any data besides cache and dalvik) and the ROM installer will then reboot into the ROM, however this means when my phone turns off, my recovery is booted up instead of the ROM
I'm sensing some sort of Bootloader problem?

First off i dont own an S6 (im still rocking the S4), but i have had some problems over the years but always managed to fix them in the end.
So while in Download mode are you not able to Flash Stock ROM (downloaded from samfirmware) via ODIN (following the instructions on the site)?
In TWRP are you not able to flash a custom ROM (probably with OTG cable if you dont have the ROM stored on the internal memory).
Any issues i have had i have always been able to do at least one of the above methods. If you cant do either or, im not sure what else i would try.
Thanks

If you flashed a stock firmware successfully it will not boot into twrp, flashing a stock firmware will install stock recovery, which means the stock firmware did not flash properly. Have you tried smart switch at all? Are you sure you have the correct firmware to flash through odin?

Yes I am sorry I didn't explained that. Atfer I tried to install stock ROM it got stuck, then smart switch didn't recognize the device but I manage to do the emergency recovery thing with model number and s/n but same thing it got stuck on the same installing system update screen. After that I installed TWRP via Odin to try to push a custom ROM zip, I did that but when I tried to install it failed.

Download Samsung SmartSwitch and from the upper menu select Emergency Recovery Mode, put your phone in Download Mode and connect it to your computer, enter your model number and S/N when asked, and it will download and install latest firmware for your model.
Sorry, i haven't seen that you already tried that.

That means TWRP works and Fastboot/Download works. What is the actual Galaxy S6 model? Mine is G920F.
What custom ROM did you try?
What version of TWRP are you using? The wrong one can create issues.
Did you wipe the phone trough TWRP first? Twice? Including internal memory?

So I was flashing a ROM to my Galaxy A8 2018 when Odin failed and after that I was greeted with a screen on the device stating "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software.".
So I downloaded the software and opened it and it said "unsupported device". I clicked on MORE > Emergency Software Recovery and my device didn't show in the list. I also tried flashing with Odin again but it just kept failing. I tried 2 different ROMs and even Prince Comsy Odin but nothing worked.
Please someone SAVE ME
Or I'll just return it to Amazon and get a replacement

You know what I already got the return label I won't even bother.
I'm actually facing this problem, anytime i try to flash via Odin the stock firmware it just gives me "Complete(Write) operation failed.", i managed to install TWRP but don't know what to do from that point
EDIT: Flashing the exact version i had previously seemed to work, Odin gave no errors and everything is working fine, so if anyone has this issue, don't flash a previous build/update or it might fail, go for the one you had or a newer and everything will go as planned
