See if you can manually boot to recovery. If so then wipe data and cache and reboot
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] razenxd:
i can't.

It passes in some milisecs the updating screen and gettting me to the no command screen.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
Hold down and power until it completely reboots. As soon as it goes off switch to recovery combo and keep holding
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] razenxd:
That's what i do, and i get what i said in the previous post :(

Now will try and give a flash the 4 file btu repair firmware which i downloaded from samfirm app along with the

ZEROLTE_EUR_OPEN.pit

Should i also check repartition and nand erase all in odin?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
Only check repartition if you flash a pit file. Don't select nand erase
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] razenxd:
That's what i did.

Fingers crossed

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

#MANUAL MODE v1.0.0#

Appling Multi-CSC

Applied The CSC Code :XEO

Succesfully applied multi-csc

Hum, just noticed in download mode that the device has on the reactivation lock.

Could that be one problem that i face?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] razenxd:
So a new edit.

I'm getting to a fact that its hardware related issue.

I tried combination rom(which gave me the best and the worst results so far..)

after the flash phone got reboot,past the cyan(not the blue) erasing screen rebooted again and got to the gears and factory binary logo

I heard the samsung logo but after lil bit loading screen froze, afterward i got a bootloader error screen.

Trying to get into recovery also got me a bootloader error screen(btw odin would recognize as download mode if that matters)

Also what makes me its a hardware related issue is that i left the phone charge with combination rom(since its the only one that gives me icon and let me charge)

When i press the power off and vol down its shuts off and get me to battery percentage which is animating,screen goes off and led goes red.

If i press any button to check the percentage, phone lags animation stops and screen never goes off again.

Battery is overheating also now that charges.

So i can only think besides hardware that battery could cause phone to freeze?

Samsung S6 edge stuck in bootloop

Hi everyone,

thank you for taking the time to read this post, i have been given a phone to hopefully repair for a friend, it is just stuck on the Galaxy S6 Edge screen, does not go onto the Samsung screen.

I have tried installing new firmware onto it, but everytime it just sits on the galaxy s6 screen.

the weird thing about it is, even if the battery is completely dead, i put the phone on to charge, it will just automatically sit on the galaxy s6 edge screen...

Does any one have any thoughts on this? i know i could quite easily buy a new motherboard, but its not the point, i want to hopefully fix it :)

any help would be greatly appreciated!

regards,

jamie
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Sharjeel.Khan:
First of all, don't get your hopes high, i rooted as traditional method like many others. I'm flashaholic and i started new thread for those who upgraded intentionally or accidentally and now think download would brick their sets. it won't. things are pretty obvious here but i repeat I'm sharing this to people who've upgraded for any reasons and have no clue how to downgrade or achieve root.

So i bought a cell (sm g920V) with preinstalled PI2 (MM6.0.1) . found out pingpong root is avail only for 5.02 . i was afraid to downgrade so i searched more. found out nogat 7.0 DQD1 has root. and can be rooted via cf autoroot. i upgraded and i tried. but it didn't worked. on nougat i did everything. tried every root app (both pc and apk ver) but failed. i decided to go back.

here i found This thread by [MENTION=304339]toutanje[/MENTION] which said even i upgraded to nougat, i can safely downgrade to PK2 (6.0.1) , PH1 (6.0.1) and BOG7 (5.1.1) . i flashed BOG7 (5.1.1) directly because during search i've foundout that there is temporary root available for BOK7, and they both are 5.1.1. i did this because BOG7 is earlier version than BOK7, for this i won't have to downgrade but to upgrade that i did. i flashed BOK7 and headed Here, a thread by [MENTION=8090818]klip1[/MENTION] . there wasn't any clear instructions not links no attachments. but thanks to [MENTION=6221912]MrMike2182[/MENTION] who shared main file Here. BEWARE that you'll lose root each time you reboot, but you can gain it back easily by running root apk simply from your mobile. this is better then not having one.

so if you desperately want root. wherever you're on nougat DQD1 or MM. Downgrade to BOK7.

simply follow instructions there and all you have to do is to flash BOG7 from thread mentioned above (for safety as i did did step and i'm not sure if you may directly downgrage to BOK7), then flash BOK7, odin Sboot file (attached). you'll see some yellow codes above when restart. i was stuck there with bootloop on VZ logo. all you need to do is to factory reset. (by pressing and hold vol + & vol down + power button until you see black screen with options. press vol down and highlight second option factory data and reset. now press home button. )

phone will start normally, goto devloper options, enable usb debug, allow unknown sources and than root it with kingroot apk. done.

Those who prefer SuperSu can get lead from Here thanks to [MENTION=6073167]EvilRubberDuck[/MENTION]. but i am not sure about point 3. there is nothing attached at first post. tough little search may lead you to success.

Thanks to whoever took even little interst to make this beast rooted. please try to get permanent root for this device too. if anyone know how to get it, or any more info regarding rooting this device. please share. let me aware. i'll really appreciate that.

NOTE : i take no responsibility of what you do to your mobile. you're doing it with your own consent. if you're unsure what you're doing, don't do it. I, developers/members mentioned and xda are not responsible for ANYTHING or what you do to your phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] MrMike2182:
If you use the SuperSU instead of KingRoot then you can use my installroot script and then the rootatboot if you need to reboot for some reason however if you are not near a PC at the time and you really need to reboot then use terminal emulator from the play store and open it and type su then enter and on the next line type pkill zygote and voila reboots without PC.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Sharjeel.Khan:
yes i've read this post of yours, i should've added this. Glad you came here and i really appreciate your efforts for s6 users. you've done great job for us.

it'll be great if you attach your script and write or quote your method here too. so users don't have to go through earlier threads and finding things. like me who bought this phone pretty late.

right now i'm using quickreboot apk to get hot reboot which keeps the root. but sometimes when you really need to restart. i see your solution as best.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] MrMike2182:
OK so my phone is on 5.1.1, it was originally on 7.0 so you can downgrade back to the 5.1.1 firmware.. I've included in the file the eng kernel and eng sboot but there's different versions so this one in my file called boot.tar is from the eng kernel to the S6 G925V so if you're using G920V you need to get the eng kernel for that one.. Now first you put the phone into download mode and flash the eng kernel using odin and after the phone boots then using Windows command prompt navigate using the cd command to where the file is you downloaded called S6rootbyMrMike2182 once you're in there type installroot and the script should run and flash everything needed including busybox and then the phone will reboot (it will also boot just this one time without using the rootatboot because the same codes in this file too) now when you click on the SuperSU app it's going to say it needs to update su ignore it and go right to the play store and install/update the SuperSU from there and then the phone should be rooted and ready to go.. If you ever need to reboot for some reason connect the phone to your PC and open a command prompt in the same folder again and run rootatboot and it will set the phone as permissive again so it boots.. You can unplug it after you see the Verizon logo.. If for some reason you aren't near a computer and you really need to reboot then use terminal emulator from the play store and open it and type su and grant root access and then on the next line type pkill zygote and voila reboots without a computer

If you have KingRoot on your phone and you want to get rid of it to use SuperSU thanks to [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] then use this script that I'm listing below.. Also keep terminal emulator open while you are doing this because you might(not all devices just some) get a continuous annoying popup that prevents you from doing anything (thanks to KingRoots junk) so you'll have to use terminal emulator to kill/end that process in order to continue and after you kill/end that process then go delete it immediately! Links to root with SuperSU and KingRoot removal are below!

KingRoot removal script

G920V ENG Sboot

By the way I nor XDA-DEVELOPERS is responsible for anything you choose to do to your phone! If something goes wrong, just reflash your original firmware but don't go blaming me nor XDA because I don't have to put this up so please do your research before messing with your phone and as always, make a backup of everything you wish to keep! And no this will not delete or wipe your phone unless you choose to! Links are above. You can change it or whatever just give props where it's due!!

SERIOUSLY MAKE A BACKUP OF ALL YOUR PICTURES ETC ETC BEFORE DOWNGRADING AND I'M NOT KIDDING!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Sharjeel.Khan:
great. you completed the thread :highfive:

Didn't know about script removing kr.. wil give it a try for sure. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Sharjeel.Khan:
ok i'm getting confuse here. can you please provide exact files that needed to flash on g920V please ? i mean eng kernel and sboot ? and the file with odin says "G920A_Kernel_Root_5.1.1_S****.tar", A ? isn't A refers to at & t ?

i'm afraid if i may flash wrong file. can you please help me here with exact files needed for us (G920v) ?

and when i'm running installroot via cmd, it execute it goes like it created by you until daemon started successfully for like for five to 8 sec and then disappear. phone doesn't reboot. nothing happens. ,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Muhammad Aliyan:
can anyone confirm if i can directly downgrade to BOK7 ? im currently on DQD1 also can anyone guide me how to actually flash my phone like step wise im new here.. I upgraded to 7.0 but I desperately want root now I've odin installed i just need some1 to teach me how to do it like where to select sboot file and other files

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Sharjeel.Khan:
welcome here. first things first, i don't mean to discourage you but if you don't know about where to "put sboot and other files", you really shouldn't be doing this. additionally downgrading is a risky process where things get messy due to single mistake .

To answer your question directly, NO. i've read a post somewhere here that we can only downgrade to mentioned (in 1st post) firmware. OP there tried to downgrade to other fw but failed.

and that is exactly why i did long and safe procedure and downgraded to BOG7 and then BOK7. . both are 5.1.

2nd question : you need to put sboot file in "AP" section of odin. (be careful with using it)

i assume you have G920V, which have locked bootloader, my suggestion would be... its not worth it. trust me. even if you downgrade, and rooted too, you'll loose root if you restart your device. and you cannot install recovery and so on. there is no permanent root for this device.

Exchange your device for international version or so, either wait for it and enjoy being on nougat. devs are working on it may be. some claim to root nougat too. better don't downgrade and much better if you stop right there when you don't have basic knowledge about this. you'll end up having paper weight instead of device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Muhammad Aliyan:
But on 5.1.1 my battery life was so good now it just keeps draining even on power saving just drain and drain I previously also upgraded using Odin from 5.1.1 to 7.0 (biggest mistake) and i'm regretting it although its much better it terms of improvements and performance i just cant live with this battery life also i need root for WifiKill and to hack in-app purchases .. and i don't reboot my device often..

so if im downgrading to both of these BOK7 or BOG7 i need to use the sboot file u provided right ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Sharjeel.Khan:
alright. nothing to worry about. just downgrade like i mentioned on OP (for safe side as no one here to confirm)

okay so like i said you just need to put the provided file (all credits to original dev/coder) in AP section and flash after you install BOK7. .

i can only tell you about BOK7 as i've done and using this. not G7.

so after to downgrade to bok7, let it boot properly. factory reset your phone, go to download mode and flash attached file using odin. (uncheck all options but f reset time and auto reboot)

phone will restart, and you'll see some green numbers and something when booting. let it boot. go to dev options enable usb debugging. uncheck "verify apps usgin adb" and... root either from kingroot (comes with 100 of ads even on lock screen) or look at this post by MrMike2182 who gave us superSU :victory:

and most important part here : make a backup of everything. and i take no responsibility of what you do to your mobile. you're doing it with your own will. if you're unsure what you're doing, don't do it. I, developers/members mentioned here and xda are not responsible for ANYTHING in any way.

good luck :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] LuisElListo:
Quick question if i can root my device with this method it possible to install xposed framework via Flashfire?, just a question.

If not possible install xposed not a problem, better root than nothing, and i am not reboot so much, to say nothing.

And like say Muhammad Aliyan, the battery in 7.0 is much more less than 5.1.1

(Sorry for my bad english.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Sharjeel.Khan:
i have tried it earlier and failed but now when i saw youre asking this, i gave it another try and i'm stuck on bootloop. lol.

better don't do it. :p

i've read it that xposed is not compatible to our devices (64bit) yet ( just read it not confirming it) + in xposed official thread, it has been warned that bootloops occur in samsung stock roms. soi'd say do not try this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] LuisElListo:
So close, well better wait to safe method in stock room, or unlock bootloader. Thanks anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Muhammad Aliyan:
everything was good I downgraded to BOG 7 first with odin all good then OK7 and again all good successfully booted up everything is fine fingerprint sensor etc right after i flash the sboot file my fingerprint sensor stopped working it says an error occurred can you please help me .. phone is rooted though but cmon fingerprint sensor i can't live without it..

Edit: tried factory reset and restarting, none worked.

edit2: reflashed OK7 again and its fingerprint is working but can't root. flashed sboot to root but fingerprint stopped working.

edit3: again flashed OK7 then sboot again green text in the corner again root succeed but again fingerprint not working :( guess something wrong with the sboot..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Sharjeel.Khan:
thats strange because i had FP working while rooted from same sboot file that i attached.

try downloading from another source like in second post where mrmike2182 shared it. and try removing Samsung account (if its there, don't forget to turn off reactivation lock before that.)

see if it helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] LuisElListo:
Same issue with this flash OK7 FP work ok, but install Sboot and FP not working.

edit1: cant root the device i open cmd with adm permission, installroot, daemon is stop, is starting, after close cmd and the phone not reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Sharjeel.Khan:
hmm. i believe FP didn't came friendly with this sboot. any experienced dev might help us out here :(

make sure you have proper drivers installed and have working adb. read instructions, search fourm. by the way, for same kind of issues, i had to go with kingroot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] LuisElListo:
Well better than nothing, uninstall all bloatware for my phone (finally), FP sensor yes it to cool but, meee y si better pin or patron.

Just have to try install Xposed and all done.

Do you try to install official xposed? Or the unofficial for Samsung Stock https://xdaforums.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3180960
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Sharjeel.Khan:
i'd love to try right now but i can't because i'm currently working on something else.

but for your assistance, Here is what you're looking for. its a success.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] LuisElListo:
I try a shoot.

Its working, its ****ing working, I sacrifices FP, and Supersu but I dont mind i have xposed and a root.

imgur(dot)com/a/zLvrD

Edit1: bad news activated module xposed requeried reboot, soo the root is lost and requiered to root again with kingroot the problem is my percent is not advance 01%. Also every time I rooted the phone is slowing arriving a point where it restarted alone and is only 01%.

If i a factoy reset i lost xposed and root or better reflash the Rom OK7?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Sharjeel.Khan:
ahan. great. credit and thanks to all hardworking and devs/contributors out there who provided everything we're just "installing".

you might want to recharge your battery tough :p

PS : please do share your results after installing modules and using your phone for a while. people experienced bootloops and what not after this. good luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] LuisElListo:
Forgive it I try your steps and its working thanks you and all the devs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Sharjeel.Khan:
successfully rooted (Again ) using [MENTION=6221912]MrMike2182[/MENTION] 's installroot script. HUGE thanks to this guy who worked this out even it was temporary root with 100 ads/min, but for us he made it clean + easy to get root back after reboot.

This is the way I did it.

1. start with fresh OK7 firmware. (not rooted yet)

2. flash the sboot provided above in this thread using odin.

3. disabled antivirus and run Easy Firmware Easy Root Tool (google it plz), click on "check port" then "read info" and then big button where it says root. ( idk it helped or not but i'm sharing exactly what i did)

phone reboots automatically, and E.F.R.T will say "rooted". i closed its window.

4 : presumed to be rooted, i tried to run "installroot" from mrmike's folder but it executed and disappeared in seconds.

i again opened easyroot tools window and clicked on "read info" and let it stay opened in background. executed installroot again and strangely it worked. (might be something with adb already running or so)

from here all you need to do is to tap any key on your keyboard when asked and let script do the magic.

5 : su binry might ask you to update, just let it be and update su from play store. after su update, it'll notify you that su binary needs to be updated, tap on it. give it "normal" way. it'll ask for reboot. do it.

6 : now phone won't boot here. it'll show you led and a black screen. all you need to do here is to run "rootaboot" script from there.

7 : happy clean root .

to regain root more easily after reboot, here i quote the hero himself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Sharjeel.Khan:
glad it helped. :).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] MrMike2182:
Use this for Xposed but I would wait until I personally can get home from vacation to help you guys out with the installation of it because installing wrong equals bootloop.. But you can install it(and by that I mean the DVD Android Xposed apk but not the actual install OF Xposed in the app itself) and look around if you want but do not select to install it unless you choose the Samsung method specifically..

XposedDVDAndroid
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Sharjeel.Khan:
much appreciated. i installed the attached version. but i'm scared of bootloop because i've gone through enough of these days for trying out new things specially with xposed. tough i'll give it a try. i'm confuse between versions there.

additionally. a silly question may be for you.

i rooted via supersu by your method and script. there you said we can reboot and have root again by going to terminal app and typing what you said, right ?

question is , how can we go to terminal and write things when phone isn't booting ? all i see is blue light and black screen.

done reboot 2 times and had to attach to pc to boot it back. any ideas ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] LuisElListo:
-Install Xposed DVD

-Go to Samsung Tab.

-Select arm64 and install.

The phone restart black screen run rootatboot and wait.

The apps are optimized are 230 when i do this.

Another when I type su, pkill zygote say tmp-mksh: pkill: not found.

Any ideas?

Edit: Never mind just install Busybox and all done the comand is work the phone restart and modules for xposed is working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Sharjeel.Khan:
done. thanks:good:. unofficial xposed working fine. gravity box (module) working too.

yeah. busybox is must. but my question remains there, how can we use terminal app when not booting. but thing here is, its a perfect root if this "rootaboot" this could be solved or android starts normally.

because i get root everytime i restart my device without entering any commands. i may have been missing technical aspect but if our device could start directly, this could be the perfect root.

waiting for mrmike's response. have fun by the way on vacations.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Muhammad Aliyan:
Can you help with the FingerPrint sensor issue stops working everytime we flash sboot.I'm on OK7 i want root so badly but FP is more important to me. Hopefully there is a fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] MrMike2182:
As soon as I get home sure.. Try using the normal Sboot and see if it works with the regular root
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Muhammad Aliyan:
what normal sboot? :confused: i've tried the one you posted and the one in this thread :crying:... can you link the one you're talking about?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] xdanilva:
-snip-
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Muhammad Aliyan:
It's been so long please come back from vacations I need root badly with Fingerprint working... :crying::crying:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Muhammad Aliyan:
The thing is that even Kingo root is not working maybe because they updated it can someone help please ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] stupdude2:
Thank you, [MENTION=6259396]Sharjeel.Khan[/MENTION] for the succinct instructions! It worked for me!

I was able to get xposed installed using the files and method found here: https://xdaforums.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3180960

TIP: The first time I restarted, it got stuck on Verizon screen. I just rebooted to fix it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Sharjeel.Khan:
Glad it helped :)
