:silly:

That IS the problem, i think :fingers-crossed:

Solved the same problem at reddit, take a look: reddit thread

Unfortunately, you must flash TWRP again to try once more, as soon as the samsung logo apperars, your custom recovery is overridden and thats it.

So now, take a deep breath, lean back and try again.

As soon as you have clicked to start the flashing procedure, press the 3 butons firmly, simultaneously and quick as lightning-

hold them down till it boots into TWRP.

Come on, even i have managed it after a few tries :p:p
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Immoblize:
HMMM. I see.

It's not possible for me to boot into TWRP without the Samsung logo appears. I press the start, the same time i press the start, i press Power, Home and Volume Up button but still the logo appears. It takes 4 sec and it have flashed the TWRP. It's not possible...
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendall1004:
So, for some reason you can't enter recovery mode.

This could be

a) TWRP is not installed correctly (did you use the .img ot the .tar-file? Odin needs the .tar-format: link )

or

b) the kernel you flashed doesn't work with this-

here is the one i have used to root my S6.

I would try to reflash above Unikernel first, if you used the .img-file of TWRP rather than the .tar to flash TWRP,

do it again with the .tar file instead.

If this fails, the last thing would be to flash a unmodified stock ROM to restore the original setup including the bootloader...

i will look into this now a little bit deeper, there has to be a workaround.

Best of luck for now, we stay in touch ;)

EDIT: the developer of XtreStoLite recommends another way with Chainfire's root:

If the bootloader is your problem, you can update to the newest versions of bootloader and modem for your model following these instructions:

edgarf28`s instructions

I will do this right now, for a new version of XtreStoLite was just released today and i will upgrade.

Keep me informed :)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Immoblize:
I can enter the recovery mode (TWRP) but not before the Samsung logo appears when i install TWRP. I have tried many times and i still can't enter TWRP before the samsung logo appears for 1-2 secs.

I am not able to flash Edgar28s bootloader and modem because it always gives me nand write error fail. I think it's because i'm not rooted with CFautoroot - and to get rooted with that way, i have to have USB debuggin on which i don't have.

What i think is, that i was very close but i still can't manage to enter TWRP (after installing) without the samsung logo appears for 1-2 secs. Because what you said before "Unfortunately, you must flash TWRP again to try once more, as soon as the samsung logo apperars, your custom recovery is overridden and thats it."

So what do you think now?

And btw thanks for all the help so far. I'm trying my best and following your steps but i always think i'm very close. I'm also so close to destroy my phone but i've read so many places that "it's only a softbrick, that can be fixed very easy".
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendall1004:
OK, so you can enter the TWRP menu and install a ROM, right?

Any stock ROM from sammobile.com includes firmware, kernel and bootloader, so flashing the right one of these should reset all this.

Give it a try, for i think TWRP is actually working- otherwise you wouldn't get to the screen.

If the phone runs again with stock firmware, you can then flash a custom ROM.

And yeah, we're close, this can be only a minor flaw...it's near impossible to brick your android phone, so they say.

Don't worry mate, and be assured you're not the only one:

i just got stuck on bootloop also for a few minutes after upgrading to the newest version of XtreStoLite, which came out today.

Using TWRP, i could just flash back the previous version and all's good again.

Cya tomorrow...

EDIT:

I read through your previous comments again; the "md5sum"- issue seems to be a problem with the ROM file itself (corrupted or wrong version).

I'd bet that flashing the correct stock firmware for your carrier and model will solve the problem.

So enter the exact model number (like G920FXXU3COI9 or such) you have, get the right ROM and flash it with Odin 3.10.7

I couldn't find a denmark carrier on sammobile, eventually you have to look here at XDA, there's a list of stock imges as well.

Read lots of threads around this issue, almost all solved the problem flashing a stock ROM again.

Fingers crossed :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Immoblize:
Yeah, i've never had problems entering TWRP menu. I can flash stock firmware via Odin but i can never do it via TWRP because it's says no md5 file found error - tho i can flash XtreStoLite (i think it's because it says aroma installer).

I've read many places about the md5 file error, but for some reason, i can't figure out how to fix it.

No, there is no Denmark model, but we have NEE (Nordic). The only stock firmware i can install is XEF (i don't remember where i got that from actually).

I will try agian and flash stock android via TWRP AND read about the md5 file error now/later. Tomorrow i will call the store i got the phone from and tell them i have a hardware issue or something like that. The guy owns a store for sellings covers, cases and stuff like that. He got the phone from Samsung free and sold it brand new in the package with 1 year warranty, so i will contact him tomorrow if i can't figure out how to flash stock android via TWRP or if it gives me error about the md5 file.

Talk to you tomorrow.

Update: I can not flash NEE model via Odin. Only XEF model - i also found out it was French firmware.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendall1004:
I've read quite a few threads regarding bootloop issues now, almost all of them were solved by flashing a stock firmware using Odin, not TWRP.

From yesterday's XtreStoLite thread:

So, i'm loooking forward to you mailing me tomorrow, stating the poor thing is running again and you're about to re-root & flash a custom ROM! :good:
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Immoblize:
I don't know man. I've tried all the things you have said and it still can't boot. The only firmware i can flash via Odin is XEF (France) and it doesn't get me out of the bootloop - even if i check the Nand Erase All button.

I come to this point that i don't know if it can be fixed. Only if there comes another version out like Marshamallow.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendall1004:
Ha!

Think i found something.

You wrote you flashed Alex-V's kernel.

I just read some comments of his, this might explain the hassle:

Now, that is a procedure i never heard of, think thats what caused the problem in the first way.

Given that your bootloader still doesn't work properly, this means the french ROM you have (which should work on your model) wasn't installed properly.

If it was, it would have written the OEM bootloader again and your phone would start normally.

If TWRP gives you an error with md5sum for this ROM, and the install via Odin doesn't work either, i really think there's some issue with that file.

You wrote that you don't remember where you got it from-

that's not ideal when talking about a ROM, you don't want a corrupted download.

Please, try to use a fresh download of that ROM from sammobile, androidfilehost or from here, verify the md5-checksum (important!) to be 100% sure the file is OK and flash it with Odin.

You see, with the firmware you tried to install, both Odin and TWRP give you an error message, thats very suspicious, don't you think?

Props for not giving up on this mate, remember:

in here, it's like being a member of Liverpool FC-

you'll never walk alone :highfive:

THAT MOTHERF*****!

The XEF i use DOESN'T MATCH MD5 nr. from the link with Rapidgator you gave me right now.. Ohh myy..

Edit: Omg.. Your ****ing genius. That means the whole time i've been flashing a corrupted "stock" rom via Odin - the XEF. But the problem is, i can't flash NEE (nordic) or the Russia (SER). What do you wan't me to do now?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendall1004:
Open a beer, flash the french ROM from the last link and hope that it's over soon :D

Seriously, the ROM is international, i flashed it myself yesterday.

Originally my device was G920FXXUBOGE, now it's COI9- all fine.

This version is the newest firmware with better battery management etc., so maybe you will end up using it stock, who knows?

Go ahead...you can also use one of the other links above, mega usually is much faster than rapidgator or else.

:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Immoblize:
So what your saying is, that i can "just" flash this with Odin and all will be fine?

Second: Can i not just download from Google Drive (since it's full speed) and check with Rapidgator MD5 sum?

I just found the problem with the corrupted files. I'm using SamFirm (http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647) to download my firmware since it's full speed, but the recently downloaded XEF file doesn't match with the MD5 nr. from Rapidgator.

Edit: The google drive file doesn't match the md5 sum nr from rapidgator. What is wrong here? The file or is it just me?

Edit2: Just flashed the file from Google Drive. It flashes with Odin but doesn't remove bootloop.

Edit3: The download from rapidgator is at 50 kb/s.. that is going to take 9 hours!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendall1004:
Phew.

Odin showed a green "PASS!" message and automatically rebooted, and it still loops?

Flashing the stock firmware means the bootloader, modem & everything is restored to factory settings, this seems to be not the case.

Have you tried to boot into TWRP and use the "wipe" feature to do a full factory reset?

If this doesn't work, i suspect your bootloader is still messed up.

I flashed the newest bootloader and modem for our model 3 days ago, no problem at all, plus it's done quickly, the files are small.

Here is the thread with the links: latest

i think that's the only possibility left, we'll see^^

Meanwhile, i googled "odin back to stock galaxy s6" and keep reading.

No problem is unsolvable :)

EDIT:

When you update modem & bootloader with above links, you will have to re-flash UniKernel or another permissive kernel, won't work with stock kernels:

So, FIRST flash UniKernel, then update your modem and bootloader to the latest version, then flash the ROM.

Looking for a link to uniKernel...
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Immoblize:
I am always been able to flash XEF with a pass on Odin and it reboots and stuff like that. But i am never able to flash the bootloader and modem you linked me. Even with the guide that Edgar28 gave: Flash bootloader, then modem, then put phone in, press start. That doesn't work. Never. It always gives me nand write error fail. I don't know what the f*** is wrong with this phone!

Could you try to install above kernel via TWRP?

I also just thought to myself; the only time i had "nand write error fail" it was a corrupt version of Odin or a corrupt TWRP file to flash, it worked when i reinstalled Odin from a different source and used a different TWRP-file:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62564483&postcount=31

And, reading through this thread, again:

And you have a stock kernel after flashing the ROM from googledrive, which will not work for its a 5.1.1 firmware.

Can you follow? This should be it, installing Unikernel via TWRP, flashing the ROM again to re-write the bootloader and hopefully it works.

If it doesn't, i will have to read some more...

Installing UniKernel via Odin should also work, as long as you see a "PASS!"-message

---------- Post added at 21:57 ---------- Previous post was at 21:48 ----------

Oh, so you already have Unikernel installed?! OK...

...reading thru threads here, i remember a similar part in a thread, just can't find it.

I post when i found it...
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Immoblize:
Okay, i'm gettting a little bit confused here.

Just to be clear:

1. I can flash XEF file via Odin, but not via TWRP because it gives me md5 sum error fail.

2. I can flash TWRP and i know how to push files to my internal storage.

3. I am able to flash UniKernel

4. I am able to flash Modem (just tried it), but i am not able to flash Bootloader.

"flashing the ROM again to re-write the bootloader and hopefully it works"

What ROM?

I know i sound like a newbie here, but what ROM do you want me to flash? We/you just found out that XEF file is corrupt, but even tho it's the only one i can flash and that works.

Edit: I'm currently downloading the XEF file from SamMobile JUST TO BE CLEAR.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendall1004:
I also know there are some issues with newer Odin versions when flashing sth ROM related , not sure exactly what, but this is why some sites recommend Odin 3.10.6-

maybe that could cause permanent nand write fails.

I have both versions installed and used 3.10.6, i must say.

Also: your reactivation lock is turned off, yes? if thats on, you have to erase the whole thing.

Also possible, just read a how-to here a few days ago, but we don't really want that...

Try flashing stock firmware via Smart Switch.

1. Download Smart Switch.

2. Put your phone in download mode

3. Press "more"

4. Press "Emergency software recovery and initialization"

5. Device initialization

6. search for you device - For example SM-G920F

Heres how i fixed it:

Flash kernel

Flash recovery (TWRP) -> tried moving zip files by mounting in TWRP but didn't work (still don't know why but it kept saying my device was disconnected or not responding)

reason i flashed recovery first is because else i didn't get any storage (0mb) to mount.

Flash ROM provided by Kendalll (you're a god).

Tried this like 5 times because i would always get an error while flashing the ROM but i knew i was close to fixing it so i kept trying :P

This is the solution most likely to work, it seems.

Other options require a kind of interface for windows command-like style and the knowhow how to use it-

If you use TWRP, choose "install" rather than "mount" for the files.

[MENTION=6578958]Immoblize[/MENTION]:

I strongly suspect your phone loops because of a damaged partitioning; caused by flashing the PIT file & Nand ersasing.

With a damaged filesystem/partition table, flashing a stock ROM again does not restore the bootloader for the PIT is messed up and needs to be fixed first.

So you can either flash a complete ROM including a PIT file, or just flash the PIT file alone and the ROM serparately.

Either way, you have to be 100% sure that the files are working and aren't corrupted; for messing up with this can cause a permanent brick.

So double-check everything, get the right files and do it; pretty sure there's no other way to fix this.

The PIT files/complete ROMs are model- and storage specific, so it's important to not only check your build/model number, but also if its the right version of storage (32/64/128GB)!

I'm afraid, to make you feel safer doing this, you will have to read some more-

knowing more gives a little more confidence here...
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Immoblize:
I think that too. I've tried with 2 different pit files for my phone. I can't find the version for my 64 gb even tho some says it's say Exynos proc. so it doesn't make sense etc.

Tasker was one of the main reasons i moved from the iphone to android based phones, but recently i am plagued by the Verizon unrootable curse.

With the newer phones, you cannot root a verizon phone, and i have a S6 Edge Plus.

Its getting extremely hard for me as i was so much dependant on various tasker profiles.

Currently i run the extremely unreliable AutomateIT app, hardly it ever works.

Plus the kind of profiles i had in tasker i guess automateit cannot perform.

Hence I am looking for an alternative. Well, i realize there is no alternative to the master race tasker, but i am completely fine if i could find one of apps for various tasker profles. There are a few profiles i was wondering if they have an app for that.

1. No lock screen password for wifi or bluetooth.

2. Reduce media and ringer volume and disable notifications volume for night mode.

3. Change wallpaper on geolocations.

4. Mute volume in office when connected through wifi

Are there one off apps for these?
