"Need to check DRK first" error, G925F - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there guys,
For a long time i`ve used xda (and google ) for flashing, customizing and unbricking phones, starting with HTC TYTN, HD2, etc.
Never wrote threads beacuse all guides were ok (if u have a small amount of grey matter).
After a few hours of testing and searching the web, this time i have not succeeded in reviving a G925F.
Small history - do not know how it happend, but it has "dm-verify verification failed...Need to check DRK first..." error.
Flashed 6.0 Marshmallow an it went ok, but after restart goes to Samsung logo and then recovery mode with this error.
I tried with odin to flash Philiz recovery or engineering bootloader but it returns error - "Nand write failed - Complete(write) operation failed."
I tried with Smart Switch but it does not find my S/N in server database.
I`m out of ideeas, and you`re my only hope (Obi-Wan )
Download mode top-left corner :
Product name : SM-G925F
Curent binary : Samsung Official
System Status - Custom
Reactivation Lock : OFF
Secure Donwload : Enabled
As a fan of this community, i pray i`ll find my answers here, or someone willing to help me!
I`m even available for a english/romanian skype talk for this issue.

i am facing a similar problem with an samsung s6 edge sm-g925p, was upgraded to 6.0 and used cfautoroot and got bricked, i've solve this problem with an custom kernel and now i am able to use as tablet because it lost baseband and imei, i got repair meid and esn with DFS tool but the "IMEI CERTI FAIL. -3" still there and i can get phone working again, so i need to find phone cert, because if it flash some official rom with stock kernel phone get stuck in samsung logo so i have to flash custom kernel to get started

Do you have a custom recovery installed?

It doesn't really matter wether you have a custom recovery or not just flash Kernel_G925F_Sforum.tar from http://yun.baidu.com/wap/link?uk=1513099809&shareid=2636139728&third=1 and flash through odin. The phone now goes into recovery mode again and still showing DRK PROBLEM, but don worry, just select reboot and phone gonna start without problem...

Cant Upgrade or cant Go into recovery mode

Hi. I have a weird issue. I have a D855 phone which is running on kitkat v10n. I thought of Upgrading it to official 5.0 or 6.0 firmware and decided to check for the option software update in my phone. But I didn't find any. So i thought of installing TWRP recovery to my phone. and I flashed through flashify and cant boot into recovery menu but i can see fastboot menu started and some other 2,3 lines at the top left corner of the phone. I cant even reset the phone also as doing that going into same fastboot menu but when i pull the battery and place it it is booting.
The real thing starts from here. I want to check whats wrong with my phone and found that actually my phone motherboard is LS990.Not D855. So I came to know that as i wrong flashed the recovery, I am getting fastboot mode. So can I flash tot file directly now or not? if doing so will it result in hard/soft brick or in boot loop? Please help me to upgrade from kitkat to lollipop without any damage to my phone. Anyone hre help me.
Hi did u solve ur issue?msg me..

[Q] Bootloop, can't access Recovery Mode (only Download)

Hi guys!
The i9300 of a friend went into a bootloop without any tempering or tingeling just out of the blue. It is on stock 4.3 (I9300XXUGNG3). When we try to enter recovery mode the mobile enters download mode directly (ready for USB connection and flash, like after pressing Vol-+ in download mode).
We tried flashing I9300XXUGNG3 and I9300XXUGNA5 via Odin. No matter if one file FW or 3-part Odin always wants the PIT file for mapping. Which we have (and yes, it is the correct PIT) - but Odin says the PIT doesn't match the partition table.
Anybody got an idea how to flash stock? Or how we could enter recovery mode?
Thanks in advance for any help!

hi all,
my i9300 is also stuck in bootloop:
i've been running a slimrom on this device for one and a half years by now and never had any major issues before.
is there any way to fix this or at least somehow save the data on it?
thanks in advance for your help!

[HELP] Samsung J320A Flashing Fail

So I tried to flash TWRP with Flashr on my J3, but when I booted into recovery a blue screen came up saying that system software not authorized by AT&T was found on your device. I got nervous and decided to flash a stock firmware on to my J3, but it fails every time. I finally got to like 10% but then it failed and a blue screen saying,"An error has occured while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC Software." Smart Switch crashes every time I put in my serial number though so now I'm stuck with a bricked phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated :fingers-crossed:

Try flashing again with Odin, but this time use older versions, maybe v3.10.6 or v3.09.
Solution
I flashed a random root file that I found on another xda post and it managed to boot.

Next time, try not to flash files blindly, because any file that is wrong can brick your phone.
