[Q] Boot Loop After editing mixer_paths.xml, help! - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good day, I've been recently trying to increase my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge SM-G925F with Rom version G925FXXU1AOCV Ping Pong Root.
I downloaded a modified mixer_path.xml and changed it's permission to 644 (rw-r-r). I then renamed the original file to mixer_path.xml.bak.
After restarting, My phone went into a bootloop and got stuck at the Samsung Boot Animation.
I tried connecting via ADB, While at the Stuck Samsung Boot Animation, my phone gets detected by ADB but it is shown as unauthorized hence prohibiting me from accessing and editing my files via push/pull.
My phone can enter Recovery and Odin mode. But it's still in stock recovery and I cant find any option to gain root access.
I don't want to trip Knox so the only thing I can think off now is to flash a Stock Samsung Lollipop ROM for my model. But another method would be nice because I don't have any backup of my files.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

flash firmware again

Thanks sir for the suggestion. It so happens that I gave up all hope and flashed my S6 Edge with a stock Rom from my country with ODIN.
When everything was done, to my surprise, All of my files and installations are intact! I got used to iPhone flashing where everything gets deleted.
Of course root was removed and my firmware changed. Good thing the firmware is supported by Pingpong so I was able to root and get everything to what it was. Knox was also not triggered! So happy!

[Q] Device won't boot after uninstalling apps

I got my new S4 yesterday, rooted, then froze some apps. Last night I figured why not delete those apps, now my phone won't boot.
And apparently the Verizon S4 is the only S4 to not have a firmware on Samsung's site for flashing with ODIN:
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SCH-I545
Sadly I haven't installed a custom recovery yet, and the boot process doesn't get far enough for me to use adb to flash a custom recovery. I can access the standard android recovery and ODIN (bootloader?) mode though.
Does anybody have any ideas?
----EDIT----
Found this, hoping for the best:

S6-Edge stuck in TWRP recovery mode

Hello all,
Recently I bought the S8 Plus and I want to sell my S6 Edge, so I wanted to clean it first before actually selling it.
I rooted my phone before, I can't remember how or what software I used, I have a feeling it was Odin,
anyway, I cleaned up my phone by doing a factory reset from within Android's settings.
Since that moment, my phone is stuck in TWRP's Recovery mode.
I have multiple stock roms, but Odin is not able to make a connection with the phone, because I can't get into boot mode.
I've also read things about ADB Sideload, but that freezes up my phone.
Then I read about some command line to type in via the terminal, but that didn't work either.
Also trying to install stuck roms didn't do anything.
Does anyone have an idea how I can get my phone back into bootmode so I can load up Odin and put a stock rom on it?
Any help is greatly appreciated

Boot to Download from TWRP Recovery (Reboot - select - Download)
Fire-up Odin, flash one of your multiple stock roms.

That doesn't work either.
If I select Download, my phones freezes up.
Update:
I managed to update TWRP, making me able to go back to Download mode!
But, once I tried Odin to flash a stock rom, it failed.
Also, my KNOX Warrenty Void is set '1'.
Am I still able to install any roms or get this KNOX fixed?

If you have a PC, use samsung smart switch to re-initialize your device.
And you can not do anything for tripped knox.

No boot-picture - no recovery and system

Hey
Some days ago I flashed my boot-logo (the picture what says Samsung Galaxy S6 edge + when I start my phone) on my SM-G928F via TWRP. I think the file was corrupted, because my phone doesn't start anymore. I can't boot in TWRP or system, because there's a never ending blackscreen. I can only boot into download-mode. I flashed samsung stock rom via Odin but that didn't help, because the logo.jpg won't be replaced.
I tried other stuff like adb sideload but it didn't worked.
I think the only possibility to get my phone alive is to flash the stock samsung boot picture via Odin but I don't know how... I need a tar or md5 file for this...
I hope somebody is able to help me in this f***ing situation :crying:
Best regards
DGB
Check the thread by me mentioned below.

What baseband version was your phone on when trying this?

Phone stuck after flashing (urgent)

I went to cf auto root to find a root file for my phone and like an idiot, downloaded a boot+recovery file instead of the rooting file So I accidentally flashed a recovery+boot tar file on my galaxy j5 prime (SM-G570F) and ever since that it keeps restarting after the very first (samsung galaxy j5 prime, Powered by android) page. I flashed twrp and that works, I can use downloading mode and flash other things, I've tried a number of different boot image files, the problem remains, so Ive decided to flash a copy of stock firmware (latest update) instead. Will that fix it? If not, can I fix it, and how? Also pls provide a stock boot image if you can, I want to try that again one last time. Also please reply fast, If my parents find out, they'll kill me
