Hi, people at the xda forum!
I got a s6 edge g925l from a friend that showed an invalid imei (350000000005), it was working fine before suddently it stopped getting service, so i flashed the stock original firmware from sammovile, for that particular model, thinking that it might been something software related, it flashed ok, at first boot it took me to the stock recovery and i can see 2 errors at the bottom,
"cant mount /efs" (i expected that since the efs partition might have been corrupted before) and somthething about dm-veridity
thing is that it wont boot into the OS, it shows the s6 edge logo and then it fades to black, with a blue led in the top, i installed twrp via odin ver(3.1.1) and i can flash zip files normally, i can get it to download mode without issues, im looking for some ideas as to what can be happening
Why wont let me boot into the OS (Regardless of the Null imei, i dont really care about the imei at this point) i just want the phone to boot into the OS.
Any idea or sugestion will be greatly apreciated..
Thanks in Advice!

Hi guys, I`m new to this forum and I wouldn`t be posting this topic if I found a solution on other forums. If anyone had a problem like mine, or saw a thread before, I would appreciate if you pasted a link to the solution, or gave some kind of advice.
First of all, I`m new to rooting, custom roms, etc., so I guess that whatever I did, it was my fault. I got this Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100) as a gift, and since i already had a phone, I wanted to take a risk and take a shot at installing a lollipop rom. I watched a few tutorials, it seemed simple enough, so i thought why the hell not, but in the process something went wrong...
Sooo... here is what I`ve done:
1.) Rooted my phone with VROOT
2.) Flashed custom recovery with ODIN. I`m not sure which version of CWM it was, 6.0.4.5 I think (the file is named CWM KitKar compatible-I9100). When I flashed CWM, my phone didn`t boot up. All I got was a Samsung Galaxy logo and a yellow triangle for a few seconds before my screen went black again, but I could still access both recovery mode and download mode using the combination of keys.
3.) And then I did what I think screwed up my phone. I thought maybe flashing a lollipop rom through recovery would solve the issue (maybe the recovery is incopatible with my older stock rom and it`s the reason why my phone isn`t booting). So i flashed CM12 from galaxys2root.com. It`s called CM12.1S ROM for Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 (Andorid 5.1)
Not only it didn`t solve my problem, I still can`t get my phone to boot (now I get a samsung logo and a yellow triangle, but screen doesn`t go black after a few seconds, I left it in this state till the battery ran out and still nothing). And on the top of all things, I can`t get my phone to recovery mode anymore, all I get is the yellow triangle. I can still get it into download mode, but it doesn`t connect with my PC anymore. It charges, but I can`t connect it with ODIN anymore. And the weirdest thing is, when I connect it to PC, my other USB port goes crazy and disconnect my USB Wi-Fi adapter
What went wrong? Any advice is highly anticipated. :good:
I had recently found out how to root my Galaxy S3 specificly the Sprint model since then I was messing with Xposed, and a few specific Modules having to do with the UI I encountered a UI crash when I rebooted the first time, then after that I attempted to wipe the device thinking that would fix the issue only to have it not boot into the device instead stick at the boot screen (I cant share links yet or Id show an image) I have flashed the Clockwork Mod Recovery tool into the device which worked I have access to Odin and CWM I just don't know how to fix this issue and it only looks like I make things worse if I try to look it up myself does anyone know what I should do???
Edit
I managed t get the device running by finding the original firmware update zip on the samsung website then ran it throught adb the situation resolved itself thanks though.
Hello xda!
I bought a broken s6 Edge of a co-worker. I thought i could fix it but its giving me a headache
The problem is that it only turns on when plugged into the computer, the screen than shows a emergency recovery option on Kies or swift switch (which requires a recovery code. And I nor my coworker have) the other thing I can do is boot into Odin.
Now my question is: Does anyone know a way to recover it without that code?
I tried installing a stock s6 edge OS on it using Odin but everytime I get a write error.
Please help!

You don't have the sn at the back of the phone?. No box?.
Sent from my SM-G925F
the best thing to do is get the repair firmware files from sam mobile, flash each file in the right loading area. i.e cp for cp, ap in ap. if you flash a full file (usually names HOME) it never repairs the phone fully
Hi,
My Samsung galaxy s6 edge plus SM-G928C IS bricked. I am able to boot to download mode so i used odin to install twrp on my phone. My phone started working again then it got a boot loop. I didint know what to do so i factory reset my phone now it gives me a erroe recovery is seandroid enforcing then it boots to twrp. I downloaded 4 diffrent stock roms for my phone and it always gives me a error after cm.bin or something. I dont know much about phone but can anyone help. Its driving me mad i have exams in a couple days and i didnt even study for them because i was trying to fix my phone and my isternet speed is awful so it takes like 8 hours to download each stock rom.
Make a emergency software recovery with kies or smart switch. Kernel is seandroid... is just text that tell u that u are using custom kernel.
No root or anything. Updated official software updates and phone on boot loop. How to get it back without losing data?
You can't. Reflash stock with odin.
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.
