Basically after a little play around with my phone I decided to root it using Chainfire, which went absolutely fine. My first problem arose when I tried to flash twrp recovery which led to some weird screen whenever I tried entering recovery. I wanted to factory reset my phone (So I did it through the settings) and now on the phone setup it just sits on the software update screen saying it's checking for updates. Any ideas on how to solve this?
Get odin and reflash your stock rom from sammobile! I did that and keept all my apps and files nothing was gone! Good luck
Hey guys,
since 2-3 weeks i'm using the 6.0.1 official version which i got via OTA update (everything original on my phone, no root, no flashing any software) for my international S6 Edge.
First i noted havy battery drain and uninstalled a few apps. A weather widge forced the heacy battery drain and my phone worked fine.
Since 4 Days i have problems with random reboots. It started with some reboots a day and now it keeps rebooting after i unlocked sim card and want to use my phone. I managed to put my phone in flight mode and i were able to make a backup of my userdata via samsung smartswitch. I initialized the phone via the software and it flashed the newest version. After it finished it booted up and in the language selection screen it keeps rebooting.
I read about corrupted files due update from version 5.x to 6.0.1 and thought to wipe the phone and flash newest software via smartswitch would fix the problem but my phone is not usable anymore.
Maybe you have any advice for me?
Thanks for your further help!

Hi borth87
As it won't get worst, I suggest to flash a clean Stock version.
From SamMobile find the latest firmware for your device model.
After, for the download, I suggest you to use:
[TOOL] SamFirm - Samsung firmware downloader & checker
Just provide Model+Region and it will find you the newer firmware available. Please, before download, check the boxes: CRC32 & Decrypt
Flash the above using the lastest Odin v3.11.1
- Open Odin
- Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
- Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
- Add the firmware file downloaed to AP / PDA
- Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
- Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes
Let us know your path.
Nice regards.

Will the flashing via odin touch the knox warranty?

Hi B
No. Just flashing Sammobile firmwares via ODIN will NOT trip knox.
Have fun.

I got back my phone from repair. They switched Mainboard and some minor parts.

Hi.
I has the same problem. I tried to flash all of firmwares (always STOCK), but it's failed with ODIN all times. Samsung Smart Switch PC software say system repair succesfull (with emergency update repair), but the problem keep joke with me.
Phone don't repond without charger. With PC connection, i don't allow to run restore mode, only ODIN mode. With Wall charger adapter, i allow to run restore mode, odin mode, safe system mode, normal system, but i wiped cache, i do factory reset, i rebooted in bootloader and rebooted system as normal. When i run system in normal mode, language selection show up, and when i press next, phone reboot. When i run system in safe mode, i can select my language, and i can connect to my WiFi, but after i press NEXT at wifi list, phone reboot.
So in safe mode i able to do more one step, but system keep rebooting. Charging screen show battery at 89-90% all times, system start updating battery status from 1% to 100% (1 percent/ 1.5 sec).
Some times red-green-blue-purple rows show at Samsung logo and i got bootloop. Like when i put off my battery from my old phone.
I bought this phone which was freezing up. I thought that a firmware upgrade would do the trick. However, there was a Samsung Account of the phone and I was not aware of. The phone goes to the first set up screen, asks me to connect to WIFI but there is not WIFI providers to choose from. I click in the refresh WIFI list and the phone asks me to turn on WIFI. However, I do not have access to the WIFI on/off switch due to Samsung account lock. After a couple minutes the phone would again freeze up. Sometimes it restarts or it would simply stay in a black screen. I have to remove the battery and start the process all over. I have tried re-flashing via ODIN . I update the phone via Verizon Software Assistance to the latest firmware Marshmallow G900VVRU2DPF4. But I downgraded to G900VVRU2BOE1 Lollipop 5.0 firmware now. I also tried removing the account by flashing the modem.bin file but I get stock in the same spot. Guys, please help!
So... I wanted to update my phone and since update from setting wasn't working even though update was available, I tried to update it manually from a xda thread, but after one of those security updates my phone started to get hot, randomly restart and go to bootloop. During restarts it sometimes shows messages like:"System software, not authorized by at&t has been found on your phone" or "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" . In recovery mode it says: "no support single sku, supported API: 3". When I try to manually update my phone or reinstall the current firmware with odin, it passes normally But when odin is done flashing and phone reboots, it starts in recovery mode and says "updating device", which fills until 32% when phone suddenly stops update installation and says "erasing". After it's done, phone reboots again and starts "normally" but with random restarts and bootloops. So I think that system problem is caused by incorrect installation of the firmware which fails at recovery mode part and I read somewhere that "erasing" problem has something to do with CSC country code which is set to USA or something(which I amn't quite sure of), but there is no available code for my country Georgia and even if it was I don't know how to modify CSC.tar.mdi before flashing. I'm quite new at this stuff, so if you have any suggestions I would be glad to hear it.
Hello guys,
i've get an defect S9+ and trying to get it to work. When i got the the phone there was a problem with the Software Update. I flashed the phone via odin. Now the phone bootloops and sometimes boots up to the message "encryption failed" with a reset button (this message is writen in dutch). I've tried to reset but this doesnt helped. There is still the bootloops and encryption problem.
I can get into the Download mode and into the recovery.
I've tried a german rom version and a dutch one. But I think I've done anything wrong or not flashed properly because the message and info textes, such like "installing update" are in dutch, even when i install a german version.
In Download mode you can read the message:
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
Can anyone help? Is there a possibility to delete everything and install the stuff "from the scratch"?
Sorry for the bad english
EDIT: Translated, i think it's this message:
encryption failed. Unable to start up your device the encryption process was interrupted. You need to reset your device to factory default settings. This will erase all data.
it sounds like somebody probably messed around flashing the phone before you? When you flashed the German ROM, did you use CSC and not HOME-CSC? I think using CSC might be the closest you can do to starting from scratch, wiping everything and all that.
I had the same problem,had to change motherbord so i had to bay me a new one
