Look at my posts here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/sgsii-bootloader-t3686898

Thanks guys, I updated the operator firmware to the latest one I could find, it now boots up thankfully
I'm trying to install the custom recovery trwp on it via odin, but for some reason it doesn't work, could you point me in the right direction? I've looked at so many posts I'm googly eyed now :cyclops:
Thankyou :good:

My Mega was on 4.2.2 before I even thought about rooting it. The Samsung mega only has 4.2.2 firmware does it not? If it doesn't where do I find the lower firmwares?
This issue won't allow me to enter recovery mode. I can only enter download mode or ODIN is what its referred to.

Yup,the mega still on 4.2.2 but some of newer firmwares got knox on it...try search the firmwares on SamMobile..or maybe @starmaster10 can help.
Edit:you cannot downgrade if you knox tripped.Choose the exact firmware you running before.

I have a sd card for the phone but since I have this issue I can't enter usb storage mode so I can't put any files on it. I tried flashing all the firmwares with ODIN but I still end up with the secure fail: kernel error.

Well, I am afraid but i think you may need to flash your device with the appropriate Stock ROM. Try heading over the sammobile/firmware section and download the stock ROM and flash it over to your device with the help of ODIN it will start working fine ! :highfive:

Bricked Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge International version (SM-G825F)

I need help to unbrick my phone. Here are the details of my phone and things I did before it became useless.
- Version: Updated version of Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Marshmallow Android 6.0.
- replaced its recovery with TWRP via odin (3.10.6)
- install a ROM with the use of TWRP recovery.
- After rooting my phone and flashing a new rom via TWRP, I can't use my phone's physical buttons.
I also tried full-wipe installation of Custom rom and I got the same issue. I tried restoring it to a stock rom, but it always says "Fail".
Do you guys have any suggestions how can I fix my phone?
Which rom did you flash?
What point in odin does it fail?
I take it you have G925F? Not G8.
Whats your region and what firmware did you try to flash (stock)

Thank you for your reply. Here are my answers:
-I flashed "CarHDRom" to my phone using TWRP 3.0.
- Yes, 825F is just a typo, G925F is the correct model name. I double checked it in the box.
- Philippines, and I already downloaded the firmware that you suggested in another post about softbricked g925F (G925FXXU3DPAD_G925FOXA3DPAD_XEU).

I would first try with odin v 3.10.7 not 3.10.6.
Make sure you have origional cable and debug mode is on in dev options.
If this fails look for the firmware in the picture. Download and flash that.
Any problems let me know

I suggest TWRP. Make a full Nandroid back up before just incase. But if anything goes wrong you can just flash that stock back to fix.
I would root first with cf autoroot.
Then flash your ROM.
Do a full wife when rom installer asks as this is safest way.
If it bootloops just wait.
Glad i can help
Well it looks like CarHDRom is not compatible with my phone. Tried flashing it twice and I waited for 30mins of booting but it doesn't continue.

It is compatible im using it mate. Did you do a clean install? Wipe data when installer asks? My first boot took around 30 mims
30mins? Seriously?? Yeps.. I did a full wipe before booting with the CarHDRom.. is it the most stable TW based ROM now? ? thanks !

Which kernel did you install when the installer asked you? Yeah id say its probably the most stable rom for s6 edge.
Did you do full wipe in aroma?

You're welcome , if you have a glitch ( screen do not respond ), do a wipe factory reset.
