Here are the steps I processed towards that nightmare:
1 - I wanted to try the Cyanomod 10 official, but after first reboot, it was getting stuck on the splash screen (wheel rolling).
2 - So I tried to boot in recovery (power + vol. up) but nothing
3 - I reinstalled cwd using odin 1.83, fine
4 - reboot in CWM
5 - tried to reinstall Cyano => installation aborted
6 - I installed a padawan4 (which was still on my ext sd) => nothing, cannot boot in recovery mode again
7 - retried odin (all logs seem to be OK) -- see below:

But nothing, no Android, no CWM, only stock recovery...
What could I do?
Thanks
Find the thread to flash without increasing flash counter.
In there are commands you can copy and paste into adb to manually push a custom recovery.

Well, after following the first steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1634087 (is this the one you thought about?), I ended by getting back a working CWM. I have not processed the "risky" steps after, because it's not a big deal for me to have several flashes recorded in my ODIN mode counter. I then reinstalled TWRP and Cyanogen last version which works fine so far.

Anybody can say me that I need to reflash?
And provide link to download and string name in Odin
Another problem, I cannot update firmware. I lived in canada and to activate phone I need to be in states.
That's an old CWM. You want the new CWM for all ROMs. Can't post a link, but it's in the devs forum by jt. Flash the Odin file and you should be fine.

Hi, could anyone tell me please what i can do with bootlooping S3? It happened on version of CM11 rom, it was workin fine until this one time i plug it to charge it and from then it is just staying on galaxy S3 logo. I can get to download mode and recovery mode but odin wont flash anything and in cwm (touch recovery 6.0.4.4) it says that it cannot mount anything and errors and partition fails.

First of all READ. As everybody is saying Ok first question, when You go download mode can you see model name - 9300GT ? If so that means everygthing is solveable.
Next you have messed something and You need to step by step check it. If You want to still work on CM11 you need to flash CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4 to make sure that on the level of recovery everything is ok.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27049380&nocache=1&z=1947389626875519
Than try to flash again Your ROM. We will see where this will bring You.
Thx for reply. So i can see model name in download mode GT-9300 and as you said i try to flash that kernel...

Try again untick reboot in odin wait until it flashes switch phone off or pull battery and reboot manually Volume up + Home+Power see if that works.
Flash CWM first. After that you can try flash TWRP via odin or via recovery

I am not familiar with CWM, i will be googling it now and see what i can find in case i need to proceed with it.
I found this CWM bundle that also has a version of odin that reportedly works with my i9300.

followed the steps but boom even that was to no avail (i also tried to refollow the steps once with the no restart option @tallman43 mentioned.

A am not fan of CWM also. CWM (or Philz touch) will be only the way how to get TWRP
[SOLVED]EDIT:
Here is how I solved the problem. I a xda thread I found a similar problem and someone claiming this:
-Downloaded stock firmware and extracted files
-removed .md5 off the end and extracted it again
-inside should be boot.img cache.img recovery.img system.img etc.
-used Unified Android Toolkit to create individual flashable files of each file
-flashed them in the order they came
-everything passed
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I tried it, and it worked till the last .tar with the system.img in it. Here I had to switch USB cables from the original Samsung one to my Usb cabel from the Amazon Fire Stick. And then it also worked. For the flashing I used Odin 3.10.6 and the firmware was the G925FXXU2COH2 one. I deactivated Auto-reboot in Odin and after flashing each file I manually restarted the phone to Download mode by holding Vol down + Home + Power.
/[SOLVED]Edit
Hey guys,
this is my current situation: Phone is stuck in cyan screen with "An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software". I can't use Smart Switch because I was rooted and on "XtreStoLite Deo-Mod Edition 2.3" when the phone bricked. ODIN does recognize the phone. I used Odin3 v3.10.6.
What I did to brick it:
- Downloaded a firmware and tried to flash it to unroot the phone, following that guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/how-to-unroot-unbrick-galaxy-s6-t3110608
Model SM-G925F
Model name GALAXY S6 Edge
Country Germany
Version Android 5.1.1
Changelist 5599585
Build date Wed, 12 Aug 2015 08:11:31 +0000
Product code DBT
PDA G925FXXU2COH2
CSC G925FDBT2COH3

Since I was on "XtreStoLite Deo-Mod Edition 2.3" the device had the XXU2COH2 BL and stuff (I guessed)

What I tried to fix the problem:
- Flashing TWRP form http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...p-recovery-2-8-7-1-g925f-android-5-1-t3144866 --> Fails
-Flashing G925FXXU2COH2 stock firmware and G925FXXU2BOGB_G925FDBT2BOG8_DBT (from http://stockroms.net/file/GalaxyS6Edge/SM-G925F/Germany/5.1.1/G925FXXU2BOGB_G925FDBT2BOG8_DBT.zip)
- After finding this http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/help/guide-s6-edge-unbrick-guide-t3187655 and some other threads I removed the hidden.img from both firmwares I already tried, repacked them and flashed with ODIN.

Sooo.. according to the guide I mentionied I would need to flash pit and Stock firmware at once like this:
1) Get your device to download mode by using this combo "VolumeDown-Home-Power"
2) Open an UP TO DATE ODIN.
3) Find the corresponding .PIT file for your S6 EDGE.
4) Find the corresponding stock rom for your S6 EDGE.
5) Then put them into odin CORRECTLY. Rom to "AP", .pit to PIT
6) Make Sure these are checked: "Re-partition","NAND all erase"
7) Plug your device in and then press start.

But I am not sure if this is the right thing to do. Also I don't know which of the provided pits for the SM-G925F I am supposed to use? http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...925-pit-files-multi-thread-download-t3171636/ Whats the difference between them? Aaaand I'm still not sure which firmware I should be flashing
I would really appriciate your help..
Small update:
Found this suggestion on reddit and tried it
If you've tried to flash firmware off of Sammobile, and had your heart stop when the flash fails, fear no longer.
To fix the soft brick:
Open the firmware file in winrar and extract the hidden.img. Rename it as hidden.img.tar.
Load the new file into the PDA tab, and flash.
When the phone boots, the displayed image will be touchwiz teal, there will be a little android and GALAXY spelt above it. Don't freak out.
Give it a minute and it should boot.

And I'm back to the screen saying I should use Smart Switch..
Well I again flashed the hidden.img.tar, then I could get in TWRP. I did restore on old backup and did a factory reset. The phone booted! So I dicided to try the unroot one more time. I was on kind a funny Baseband-Version so I decided to flash COH2 Bootloader and Modem, but Odin right after starting the NAND write and I was stuck on the Error massage from the beginning..
Flashed hidden.img.tar and the phone booted normaly.
What is going on? What do I need to flash or do to get back to stock?
In the device information I now have:
Modell: SM-G925F
Android-Version: 5.1.1
Basebandversion: G925FXXU2BOGE
Kernel-version: 3,10,61-Alex-V_1.2
Buildnumber: XtreStoLite Deo Mod v.2.3 - XXU2COH2
It is really kind of mixed up and I have know idea why I can't just flash with ODIN.
Worked for me but with very minor tweak
You guys are awesome! Thanks to you, I got myself out of a pickle.
I had softbricked my phone and I was stuck with a NAND Write error in ODIN with my G920F (Samsung Galaxy S6). Here's what I did:
Removed ".md5" at the end of "G920FXXU2BOFL_G920FOJV2BOEE_G920FXXU2BOFJ_HOME.tar.md5" (so file ends with ".tar").
Used 7zip to unpack.
Using Unified Android Toolkit, repacked each resulting ".img" file into separate ".tar" files (within Unified Android Toolkit, select 99 then 8, then 1 then 3 (auto-detect images). Resulting ".tar" files will be stored in the OUTPUT folder.
Using ODIN 3.10.7, flashed each ".tar" file, one by one, in the order that they were shown in 7zip. It's a very good idea to uncheck "Auto Reboot". After each flashing, vol down+home+button, and vol up again. Repeat until the last file. File flashing order was as follows:
- boot
- recovery
- system
- cache
- hidden
In the end, I rebooted the phone normally. Took about 6 or 7 minutes. An unusual green android screen was displayed, followed by another saying "erasing"... eventually, the phone rebooted as if it had been factory reset. Now going through the tedious process of reinstalling all of my apps.

After flashing boot.tar my phone is stuck in bootloop and nt coming out despite hard reset also and i m also unable to flash new fw via odin.
plz help.
it states SOLVED.....???
I rooted my phone using odin3 then tryed to flash the sdk23 arm64 xposed framework using flashify
Now im stuck on the samsung word logo 'boot loop' and i don't know how to fix it:crying:
Also have a custom recovery [TWRP]
now i think i broke it :crying: i cant get into the recovery mode i dont why but i went to advance wipe and check all of it
also now doesnt do to the samsung word logo it stays on the samsung galaxy s6 powered by android screen
also when charging no green is seen just a empty battery with lighting bolt
plus KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING in red in the top left corner.
Think i basicallly wiped everything ohno
I'm struggling to understand why you were using Flashify to install Xposed, especially since you have TWRP. Regardless, you have to try and get it into Download Mode. If you can, you should be able to reinstall the original firmware.

i am able to get to download mode (odin mode right?), now how do i reinstall the original firmware? (maybe link me some steps)
1000 tutorials here on xda or youtube.
Basic structure:
find / download firmware
boot to Download Mode
open Odin as admin
place .tar or .tar.md5 file of the firmware in AP slot if one 1 large file or if it is split into multiple ones then they will be labeled obviously for BL, AP, CP, CSC just like in Odin.
Hit start and wait for a bit. If the flash is successful but it is stuck in a boot loop, then reboot to the stock recovery and reset it.

Looks like you're using the wrong firmware. You have to use one for your variant and you typically can't downgrade bootloaders so it's gotta be the same firmware or newer.
