This is really urgent. I wanted to unroot my tmobile 5.1.1 s6, but it wouldn't work. So I factory reset it. I was able to boot and everything seemed fine, but the custom kernel was still installed. Then I restarted the phone, but it will not get past the boot logo. It says the kernel is not supported by seandroid and then says below it that custom binary was blocked by FAP. Please help I need my phone.
It's fine! this has happened to me too!
Just go ahead and download ODIN and the latest firmware for the device.
On your device, boot into Download mode. Hold down Home Button, Power Button, Vol. Down Button together until it pops up a cyan colored screen and just press the Vol. Up Button.
Then, flash the firmware through ODIN using the AP section to select the firmware.
After that, make sure that auto-reboot, F. Time Reset, and Nand Erase All is checked under options.
Just click start and it should start flashing everything.
This is a link to the latest firmware for the T-Mobile S6, scroll down to post #2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...firmware-g920tuvu3doi1-g920tuvu2doh6-t3213001
EDIT: It should be noted that this link is for the normal S6 (not the s6 edge). Go to Sammobile if you have the S6 Edge, I haven't managed to find a post with the latest firmware for the s6 edge.

So basically, im a noob. i tried flashing stock lollipop on my galaxy s4 from CyanogenMod with odin, but it says not responding everytime pda is clicked. Now, when i try to boot up the phone with recovery mode (vol up home button and lock) it says "Recovery Booting" in the corner and vibrates twice. Then it tries to boot normally but of course fails with the cyanogenmod splash screen eternally spinning. PLZ HELP i have no other phone
Try a different PC and/or version of Odin. Sometimes Odin does that for a couple minutes and then will finish checking the md5 and work fine afterwards. Can be finicky on some computers.

your device is on a bootloop. you can overcome it by flashing last working official firmware of your device.
& for the lollipop update,
Check whether the update of lollipop is in .tar,md5 format then only you can flash it via odin through PDA option. You can even try Odin_v3.09 & select the AP option or simply follow any guide how to use Odin_v3.09
If the update is in .zip format then install a custom recovery to your device and flash it.
Lastly you can restore your phone by flashing official firmware that previously worked on your phone and then try flashing lollipop update with a fresh start.
Let me know for any other assistance
Hello everyone, I flashed the wrong TWRP recovery for the SM-G925F (I flashed the S6 instead of S6 edge) and after that my phone won't boot anymore, It would show the Samsung S6 Edge logo and then just a black screen with vibrations. I've tried Flashing several ROMs and Kernels and Bootloaders but still no effect.. Please Help.
So you require immediate help when you messed up your phone? Have you tried flash, wipe, flash to try and clear any leftover files ?
Goto the bottom of post 3-: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61001705&postcount=3
Download twrp tar.md5 version.
Open odin and place in AP, disable auto reboot
Put phone into download mode and connect, click start.
Hard power off.
Turn on device in recovery mode, factory reset and restart.
Should be good to go after that
UPDATE: I got stock firmware flashed on it, but as soon as it finished, it just stuck in the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge boot screen, and it won't even allow me to access recovery mode so I can wipe cache and whatnot. I'm running out of patience with this brick of a phone. It just goes straight to the same boot screen, not allowing me to get to the recovery mode. Are there any alternative ways to enter recovery mode, or alternative ways to wipe cache and partition? Please, any advice is welcomed.
Thanks in advance.
Try different odin version and cable before you messing with pit.

I had tried using three different versions of Odin, 3.07, 3.09, 3.106. I also used multiple cords and multiple versions of stock roms. And still, no success. It won't even stay off, every time it juices up, or is plugged in, it goes straight to the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge boot screen and stays there.
Mind you, I am not too familiar with anything outside of stock roms, some custom roms and rooting. Have not tested out much more than that. Any noob-friendly advice would be welcomed.
I had nand write start error once during downgrading my s6 from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1. I just tried odin 3.10 and it got flashed successfully. I was lucky then.

Well, I finally got one of the firmwares to work, it ran through Odin and everything just fine, but after it was done, it basically did the same thing, it stayed on the Samsung black screen, except without the red writing at the top..

I can't access recovery, the phone won't turn off, so as soon as it has any source of battery life, it just goes straight to the samsung boot screen and stays there.
Hold vol down+power button for 15-20sec. As soon as it reboot, hold vol up+power+home button to enter recovery.

I've tried that at least 50-ish times now, It just does not work, I tried it with a second or two delay, I tried it immediately after screen turns off, tried it so many times. No matter how long I hold them down for, it just stays at the boot screen. I can get to download mode just fine, but for some reason recovery seems to not be working.
is it a bootloop (it keeps restarting or it is frozen on samsung logo) ?
if bootloop you can try: plug in power corde. press and hold both volume buttons + home + power untill it shuts down. unplug power corde. press and hold home volume down and power for download mode. get another rom and flash it.
Hi i am having exactly the same problem can boot to download but not recovery, let the phone run out of battery and as soon as you plug it in again bootloop, i was running crisscross marshmallow rom ,custom kernel i have a backup but am not sure what or how to flash correctly in Odin any help would be much appreciated thanks .
Edit flashed firmware from sammobiles worked a treat .
Any updates on this?
I have this exact problem however I never attempted rooting my phone or changing anything on the firmware, I was on YouTube when my s6 edge crashed then entered boot loop, I CANNOT ACCESS recovery mode ,but I can access Odin mode. WTF everything is stock on my phone, never even heard of 'bootloop, Odin mode' before this happened .or even had to access my recovery mode on my s6. As I search the web for help I find solutions that require recovery mode, but I can access it. Apparently bootloop happens when people try to root but I never tired that. I don't even know what that is!
This just happened to my S6. Was watching YouTube then it crashed and entered a boot loop, can't access recovery, only download mode.

Flash stock firmware
My phone model is a SM-G925F and I tried installing xposed via the apk file (XposedInstaller_3.1.apk) from the thread below:
The version is 5.0.2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
After I installed the apk I downloaded the file by clicking the download button in the app. After the download is finished it asked me to reboot and so i did. Afterwards, my phone got into a boot loop. At this point I managed to boot into TWRP recovery mode. Tried factoring resetting, wiping cache and dalvik and rebooted, still stuck on bootloop.
Afterwards I plugged in my phone into my computer whilst trying to find a solution online. After plugging it out i noticed that my phone was stuck on the "charging" screen which led me to press all buttons at once in an attempt to shut down my phone. What happened was that now its stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge" booting screen (not the animated Samsung one) and it wont even shut down or let me access recovery mode, only download mode. I tried force shutting down again (holding down both volume keys and power button) and all it did was give me a never ending cycle of black screens and "Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge" boot screen. Right now my phone is stuck on the S6 Edge boot screen.
I'm thinking of just using ODIN and installing the firmware via download mode. Either that or I'm just gonna wait for the battery to run out and get into recovery mode that way (not sure what I'm gonna do once I'm in). If someone can give me suggestions on what to do in the situation I'd greatly appreciate it!
Download smart switch on your computer and put your phone into download mode. Flash the stock firmware from smart switch.

You have tried to flash the wrong version of xposed. The one from that thread isnt compatible you need the xposed unofficial by wanam from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3180960/page562
What i would suggest now is to flash stock firmware to resolve the bootloop.
Then flash twrp.
Then flash xposed from the thread above.
Flash through twrp and your good to go

It's all good now, my phone is fixed. Thanks for the help!
I have a S6 Edge registered on UK Vodaphone network, I opened up Facebook app, phone froze and turned its self off. Now only shows the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Text over a Black Screen.
I have held down Vol Up, Home Button and Power for 5 mins, and it still just shows that same screen above. I then press Vol Down, Home Button and Power for apporx 10 seconds and can get into download mode.
I went to sammobile and downloaded the correct Stock Rom (G925FXXU5EQBG_G925FVFG5EQBG_G925FXXU5EQAC_HOME.tar.md5) and download Odin, tried to flash the ROM and I got all the way through to the hidden.img and it failed. Have done quite a bit of research and found this thread, which in turn points to this thread, however, all the features require ADB Debugging to be enabled on my device, which its not. And I cannot turn it on as it sticks on the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Text over a Black Screen.
I have followed some of the instructions in the first thread, IE removed and renamed the hidden.img file to hidden.img.tar and flashed that, Odin says RESET and phone just loops and loops again, cannot get into recovery. I have then renamed all the img files and done them all individually, (boot.img.tar, cache.img.tar, recovery.img.tar and system.img.tar) and does the same as the hidden.img.tar file. There is a successful result via Odin and it just loops and loops.
If anyone else can shed some light on this id be appreciated!
