Is he dead?

Hi Guys,
My 900A was running with S5 (Update 4) ROM and Safetrap 3.72 but I decided to try Biggins ROM. I didn't like the interface so I tried another one, RenMar's ROM 1.22.
Wiped my data as usual, loaded the ROM. Successfully updated. Restart the phone and... nothing. I don't see the usual screen from Safestrap but instead, Android recovery with the little android on its back.
It's giving me choice only to apply updates or to wipe data/cache. Odin doesn't work. I can connect to it for about 5~6 seconds by pressing Volume Up at startup but then, it restart and goes back to the little android.
At the top of the screen, I have :
Android system recovery <3e>
KOT49H.N900AUCUCNC2
What I did wrong? Reading the posts, should it be because I tried to "downgrade"? I tried to upload back the S5 (Update 4) ROM. But, of course, it didn't work since you are reading this.
I still have my backup from Safestrap but... can load to Safestrap. Is there a genius who can help me asap. You know what it's like without your phone.
Thanks for any help.

Your on nc2 so that mean your on kit Kat rom n you should install safe trap 3.75 which is for kit Kat rom
FireKat V14 infuse with MegaPower

Knowing that, what should I do to reactivate my phone?

If you had read through the posts in the renmar thread then you would have noticed that there was an issue with the ROM and that many other people ended up in the same boat as you are in now (including me).
You will need to ODIN NC2, then root with towelroot and install safestrap (and busybox I believe). Then you can reboot to safestrap recovery and use your backup.
Here is the link to get to ODIN NC2.
Happy flashing.

Thanks A LOT SAPPS to get me back on track. Those files made the trick. Really appreciated.

Requesting some help :)

Hello Everyone!
I am new, my name is rohan and I have my eyes on the Xposed framework. I wanted to download some cool apps but i realized i needed Xposed framework. I own a Samsung Galaxy S5, Android 5.0, It has an ARM32 chip or something like that and i am a huge fan of Xposed now. So i didn't realize until now...I download TWRP, created a recovery and then i downloaded the .zip file for Xposed's framework to be installed. I was using TWRP and flashed the file via recovery but then my phone was starting, remained on the "samsung" (the blue dots like some fireworks) and never went beyond it. Could i get some help on this? Is this the BootLoop?...
Also, I don't know how to recover my phone too, it was also a rooted phone -- i forgot to do a backup for it...So any chances my phone will work again? Currently i have an S6 Edge - SM-G925F. But no plans to root the big boy yet.

First of all: facepalm. A backup is mandatory if you flash any file through recovery. Always, no excuses.
Concerning your problem: you are encountering a bootloop... maybe. How long did you wait until you decide to abort the boot process? The first boot after flashing takes some time. If you have waited more than ten minutes, download the uninstaller.zip from the Xposed thread and place it on your SD card. Boot into recovery via key combo (use Google to find out about this). Then flash the uninstaller.zip and wipe cache&dalvik. Reboot and you might have your phone back running.
Another hint: after flashing the Xposed framework, it is recommended to wipe cache&dalvik.

Maybe i clearly did not explain it, after the flash success from TWRP 2.8.70 i used the re-boot option and then it got boot-looped from there i suppose. And you recovery mode, the recovery mode is still the odin download recovery mode, i ended up restoring the 4.4.2 firmware for now on my S5.
Plus, the issue is fixed - mod lockdown requested.

Closed at OP's request.

Installed Xposed Framework zip, soft-bricked phone :(

Hey guys,
I know I know, I was stupid to try to get this working but I tried and failed. Now I'm just looking to get my old phone back and just leave it at being rooted (with custom recovery installed) and a custom rom. All 3 of these I had successfully done before I installed the framework zip which is where the problems arose.
I'll give you as much information as possible:
Phone: SM-G935F (UK version and on EE network)
Rooted with: CF-Auto-Root-hero2lte-hero2ltexx-smg935f
Custom Recovery flashed: twrp-3.0.2-2-hero2lte.img.tar
Other things flashed: UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip
no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip
Custom Rom flashed: KryxxOS-R1.3-G935F.zip
All of these were working and I should have stopped here but with the new Pokemon craze I really wanted Xposed installed to use the modules for it however massively regret it. I wish to get back to this point.
Zip used for Xposed: xposed-v86-sdk23-arm64.zip
Phone initially wouldn't do anything apart from show a battery (not charging (grey icon with lightening in it)) icon when connected to power. And it would ONLY do something when booting into download mode allowing me to go into it. It seemed the custom recovery was no longer working. I then tried everything, flashing back all Stock firmware for my model using ODIN and correct files for my phone (G935FXXU1APF2_G935FEVR1APE2_EVR), that didn't work. Even when installing only AP, all 4 using first HOME_CSC in the CSC and then using all 4 using the CSC file in the CSC. Then I tried using Smart Switch's recovery system, this failed also. Then I remembered hmmm, I can try to reflash my custom recovery using Odin. That WORKED. I thought great now I can do something and sure enough I could wipe my phone and access my files on my phone again when rebooted. After the reboot I tried just re-flashing the SU, the no-verify and the custom ROM thinking it would take me back. It still didn't boot. Black screen nothing. The last thing I attempted was to flash the Xposed Framework uninstaller and used this zip : xposed-uninstaller-20150831-arm64. I didn't know what this asci files were so I didn't flash them? After flashing the uninstaller, I again flashed SU, no-verify and the custom ROM. Nothing. Still nothing. However...whilst I was typing this, because my phone was connected to my PC and not stuck in DL mode or anything, it's now randomly come up with a battery charge. 3% so far but I want to wait until its higher before I risk trying to turn it on. Could it have been a dead battery all along whilst trying to fix?
I'd appreciate your help even if its to clarify that the battery seems to be the problem. I'll keep you posted with it throughout the night but if it gets sorted tonight it means I don't have to go into the city tomorrow to buy a fix. Thanks to all who post. Ask if you need anymore information.

hey, how did things go now, is it back to normal... rooted with TWRP and your custom ROM of choice ?

How can I remove SuperSU root on Galaxy S6 ? / if root removed stuck in bootloop

I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S6 using Odin (v.3.11.1) and SuperUser (the name of the .ZIP file was N920_Nougat_Root_SuperSU_No_Kernel_included.zip), and I want to get rid of the root and remove any trace of it. I tried getting rid of the root from the SU app itself and it resulted in my phone being stuck in a bootloop. To get it working again I had to boot into recovery mode (TWRP) during the bootloop so that I could reinstall the SU .zip file, and now it works fine, but I want to get rid of the root access and any traces of it so that I can get the official Netflix app from Google Play (they made it so that rooted users won't be able to download it from Google Play), because most .APKs that I tried are quite troublesome and full of issues. I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum to be asking this on, but I am new to this website.
ALSO, it's probably worth noting that my phone first got stuck in a bootloop when I was attempting to install TWRP, and even though the install itself succeeded and TWRP recovery mode was working, my phone had been placed in a bootloop, and if it wasn't for the fact that I had already downloaded the SuperSU .ZIP file on my phone I don't think I would have managed to get out of the bootloop, so I simply flashed the SuperSU to get it working again and out of the bootloop.
I would really love some help here, I really have no idea what to do in order to get rid of both the root and the traces without bricking my phone.
Thank you.

As far as I'm aware LINK TO ARTICLE, Netflix is simply hiding the app from the Play Store if you are rooted. This means that you should be able to download the official netflix app from elsewhere and install it yourself. You can download the latest version here (ApkMirror is a very reputable source).
If all else fails, you can always just restore the phone to the factory set-up. This involves re-installing the firmware and will cause you to lose your settings and files. Follow this guide here: http://rootmygalaxy.net/unroot-restore-samsung-galaxy-s6-back-to-stock/

Can you remove root without deleting or factory resetting your phone? what happen to that? bootloops for me too. had to reroot, but that messed me up and had to reflash firmware lost everything..

could not normal boot , invalid kernel length

Hi everyone may you please help .
I have a rooted Samsung S6 G920T, I installed the Official Twrp App from the Play Store as well as the busybox recommend by the app with the ADB app. So I downloaded the TWRP image for my phone rebooted the phone afterward, I am not sure what I did afterwards as I was driving and not concentrating as I am new to this development field.
My phone has been stuck on downloading mode since then. I have tried using odin to flash the recovery image with no success.
Please help as I am out of options now
