I tried to do AdamOutler's unlock bootloader stuff, and when i flashed the unlocked bootloader file in his thread i got a boot loop, so i tried to flash the stock bootloader file also in his thread. now i get the yellow triangle saying i need to take it back to the store. i can still flash with odin and i just tried to flash the unlocked bootloader again and now i get a fail message in odin.
please help!
even if i can get back to the bootloop i'm willing to take it back to verizon at this point. i just dont want to do that with the yellow triangle, i could just make up some something for the bootloop.
Have you tried flashing back with the stock odin image?

the first thing you ever do before flashing anything on your device is have a stock rom to odin back on. second your not following directions. third your device is not bricked...flashing back to stock will bring it back.
I'm having a similar issue. I had followed adam's protocol for rooting and unlocking using CASUAL; once the process was completed I received a notification claiming that my device was now 'rooted and unlocked.' I then proceeded to download ROM manager and flash clockwork recovery and upon reboot receive the 'system software not authorized' message. At this point I attempted to use the official ODIN provided in droidstyle's guide on root/unlock/etc thread. I see a successful flash of the image but still cannot get out of the unauthorized system software error. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

i did! that's why i was a bit surprised that it didn't work. i downloaded both the VRALJB 4.1.1 stock image and pit file, placed them into their corresponding locations in ODIN and flashed away. should i be allowing ODIN to repartition the disk? (thanks for the help droidstyle!)

I downloaded the full 1.7GB N2 MJ9 md5 for odin, after I flashed the phone would just flash NOTE 2 logo over and over.I tried to re-flash it again in odin but it just fails, and now in download mode I see 4.3 stuff.
I keep trying to use odin 3.09 to reflash stock but it fails at NAND WRITE START

Mine did this exact same thing. I later found out that you have to run Odin again and only use a pit file. Basically bring up Odin, put your phone into Odin mode, connect it, on the right hand side of the Odin screen instead of clicking PDA, click PIT. Then point to your file and click start. The file name is sch-I605-16gb.pit. Only thing is that I am unsure where I downloaded it from. There is a video on youtube on that describes exactly how to do this and I think the links to the files are on that video.

Verizons SUA ended up working with restoring device.
I got the same issue. my phone was rooted with TWRP 2.6.3.2 and flashed to customized MJ9 in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578458&page=14
Later I would like to restore to factory default, so downloaded this firmware http://terafile.co/2146204d7383 and flashed using odin. the flash was successful, however, after it finished, it started to have the exact problem as you described.

Did you take 4.4.2 OTA?
Well have you tried rebooting into stock recovery(UP BUTTON, HOME BUTTON, POWER) and doing a factory reset..then reboot?
You should always flash a image or tar in Odin WITH the pit file..bc if no pit the image could end up anywhere(rare)..
So this is what I would do..
pull battery
un plug phone
reboot into Download Mode
plug phone into different USB port
ODIN see it?
If so good!
Try to reflash WITH pit file

Follow the steps I've mentioned in this forum yesterday.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/fix-samsung-s2-booting-root-reset-t3087729
This should fix the issue, and then you can restore back and update your phone or flash custom ROMs.

i'm trying to download from rapidgator from 2 days but i can't, it always breaks!
and it can't be resumed
http://samsung-updates.com/details/23417/Galaxy_S_2/GT-I9100/VOD/I9100XWMS2.html
I have a stucked i9100 too.
If i choose a pit file, and select Re-partition, Odin stucked in SetPartition.
if i not checked, the re-partition, Odin stucked in data.img (3 files) or sbl.bin (1 file)
the same problem
always stuck in: NAND write start!!
help please
note:
when i falsh a recovery (like:CWM-KitKatCompatible-i9100.tar) it flashed well, but i can't access the recovery!
phone ssn: i9100GSMH
is it necessary to flash any pit file?
pit file should not be necessary, its main purpose is to re-partitionate the device. If you are already happy with your setup you don't need to flash it to update firmware.
Remember to choose the firmware for the right region for you, the link you posted is for VOD Region (United Kingdom Vodafone).
i think the problem is in the region, i've tried many regions but no one worked.
how to know my phone original firmware region?
Edit: phone flashed sccuessfully.
the problem was that the version printed in the phone is I9100, and the real phone's firmware is I9108.
Hi everybody,
Yesterday I decided I wanted to root my S6 Edge phone (SM-G925F, International Version) and flash a custom ROM onto it. I managed to root it successfully and install a working version of TWRP.
I began installing the XtreStoLite Custom ROM onto my S6 Edge. Around the 10% mark of installation, my phone suddenly booted. I read online that I should boot back normally and install an app which reduces my CPU power or something like that, can't really remember. But when I tried to boot back normally, it was stuck in a boot loop with only the Samsung S6 Edge logo appearing.
During installing TWRP I bricked my phone a couple of times because I installed wrong versions of TWRP. I flashed a stock firmware a few times to get rid of the brick (a similar bootloop), which worked every time like a charm.So I figured that with this "Custom ROM bootloop", I can just flash the stock firmware, boot everything back and try again. But after flashing the previously so glamorously working stock FW, I was stuck in a bootloop way worse than before.
This time the phone starts, I get the S6 edge logo, I get a "installing software update" screen for about a millisecond and then a "no command" screen. After the latter, it repeats. Once repeated for - I don't know - a 1000 times, it boots into stock recovery.
I tried factory resetting, which only gets rid of "software update" and "no command" screens. The bootloop stays.
What do you suggest I do? Can I do anything? Could it possibly work with 'another' stock firmware file?
Thanks in advance :good:
Probably you end up with dm verify verification error, drk issue, try to flash back stock firmware using repartition and a pit file to see if will fix your issue
Thanks for the quick reply mate. Just to get this right, I don't want to mess anything else up: first, I download a new firmware from lets say, SamMobile. When flashing with Odin, I check the box re-partition. What do I do with the pit file? If I download the FW from SamMobile, I'm supposed to get a CSC file right? With the pit file inside of it? Will Odin recognize it just like that (from the CSC file)?
you must download pit file and add in pit file, depending on your csc code of firmware you want to flash search that pit file on google
Okay, thanks. I googled and found this website: droidviews.com/download-pit-files-for-galaxy-s6-edge-all-models/
You figure I could just use a pit file downloaded from there? Or should I worry about 32GB / 64 GB pit files?
Also found this website: sammobile.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30136
It has an "SM-G925F OXA multi CSC ( BTU CPW DBT ITV KOR NEE XEF XEO XEU )" pit file. My S6 Edge is NEE region marked. Is this any better than the 'droidviews' one? Is it possible to tell or are they one and the same?

You need this firmware
http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=85560321743B11E7963AFA163EE8F90B
And this pit file
https://mega.nz/#!rERH1LqK!QSYjirrXtPjKc1giOahnZI0BrWR2WXMg0GI3ZR3LLeY
Or just try to flash your original firmware
Ok so, I flashed the FW callumbr1 suggested, with the required pit file. Something happened! The phone now boots from the S6 Edge screen all the way to the next screen, the one with 'Samsung' text on it. The logo keeps flashing, with it never going away. So still in bootloop, but a little different one.
What now? Thanks for all of the advice thus far!
Its working! Oh thank each and every God, but most of all you guys.
So the phone was stuck in the Samsung boot logo. I booted into recovery, wiped cache, no result. 2nd try, I boot to recovery, do a factory reset, and it SEEMED like it was still in boot loop, with the logo flashing. I went to take a leak and my God, that leak turned out to be a leak of faith. I came back and the phone had booted. Now it seems to work normally.
Thank you so much!

It's because the glowing Samsung logo is not actually a bootloop.
It's just on that logo while the phone builds the firmware. Usually takes about 10-20 minutes on that logo screen. Glad I could help and it's all working :good: thanks the posts if you can
Is your s6 edge bootloader unlocked? If so, how?
I am unable to load TWRP as my bootloader is locked, and can't find a solution anywhere. Any pointers?

I'm in the exact same situation as the OP,with the exception that i cant even get to recovery
(I got the phone in that situation tbh so i dunno what happened)
I tried to flash the firmware and the pit file you provided but i got a cm.img error and binary error device 5 binary 4.
So i guess device had newer os installed.
I'm now trying to download(those sammob speed limits ) the newest btu file my question is the pit file you provided is for every btu firmware or do i need another one?

Yes try the latest firmware.
The pit file will work for every btu firmware aslong as you have G925F. If it fails quote me and I'll try to help further

I've downloaded the latest BTU firmware with samfirm and flashed it along with the pit file
Again i got the updating screen which was already on 25% jumped to 32% and then got to erasing screen in which the refreshing icon froze.
I'm waiting for it to make something but nope.

Edit: Now stucked in galaxy s6 edge screen before samsung logo.
Edit 2 : Tried to access recovery, phone got again in system update screen and then stuck on erasing
rebooted then tried to access recovery again and got the no command screen again.
Edit 3 : After several attempts to access recovery it got me to the black screen before the wipe options of recovery appeared and phone hang up.
It has the following
No Support SINGLE-SKU
Supported API: 3

Hum, just noticed in download mode that the device has on the reactivation lock.
Could that be one problem that i face?
Hey everyone,
I was on stock with my S9+ and because of my slow carrier regarding updates I wanted to flash the latest BTU firmware from sammobile on it.
I downloaded everything, went into download mode and everything went well until the ODM.img file. Now it just stays like that without any error but also not going forward.
I do not know now what to do and how to get it flashed and working again? I am afraid, if I cancel the process now that I will not be able to boot again.
UPDATE:
First I was trying to do it with ODIN 3.13. Now I decided to try with ODIN 3.12 and after clicking on flash it just flashed the moden within a few seconds and rebooted the phone saying it was successful. At first it was strange because it did not flashed the system and took only 2 seconds, but the phone booted fine, with the data still there but on the newest firmware.
So, seems like the issue was in the lates version od ODIN, like always.
I'm having the same issue. Trying to flash unbranded XEO firmware on branded S9+. Everything goes fine till ODM.IMG. Older ODIN isn't flashing anything, phone just reboots.

I tried this as well and also got stuck at the ODM file.
It's quite safe to hold down Bixby+Volume down+Power when it gets stuck and just repeat the Odin process.
I concluded that you can't use the Home CSC file when changing firmware from any other to BTU (or any other different operator version). The only way to do it was to allow a complete wipe of the phone by using the CSC file not the HOME version. After that everything went OK.
As a tip, if you are currently stuck at odm.img then restart the phone in download mode (Bixby+Volume down+Power) and as a temporary fix to get your phone back, use Odin 3.12 and flash all the files AP, BL, CP and Home CSC. It will go through very quickly, it won't change your CSC nor will it wipe any data. Then use Smart Switch to make a backup, then repeat Odin with all the files but use the non-Home CSC file which will wipe the phone, and when complete restore via Smart Switch.
just flash with .pit file and see the magic
