[Resolved] Stuck in Download Mode after failed flash attempt.

Okay, so I finally decided to ditch AT&T and go full Paranoid (This is not my first flashing attempt with Android devices). Got the latest version, etc. Load into BootStrap and wipe everything. Go to install PA and for some reason I had neglected to tell my build.prop (ro.product.device/name) is supposed to be "jactivelteatt"/"jactivelteuc" and not "SN-M9009". So when I started the flash process, immediate error and now I'm stuck with a phone with no OS or bootloader and can not, for the life of me, find a ROM to flash with .MD5 or .TAR that will work with ODIN. I did find "Oneclick_I537UCUAMF1" that gets all the way to the end and fails. Tried multiple times with multiple cables.
Please if anyone has any idea's, please help.

Oh god are you on the US version (SGH-I537)? If you're on the international version (I9295) ignore this post but otherwise, you need to read and take in my short rant. Trust me I wish this weren't the case, but it is, and it's important:
The Galaxy S4 Active i537 has a locked bootloader. There is no way around this, no ifs ands or buts. You simply cannot flash custom ROMs or recoveries. That's it, end of story as far as CM, CWM, AOSP and such things are concerned. That being said there is a sort of recovery called SafeStrap which you can use to make nandroid backups, flash mods and STOCK-BASED roms, but it's not a true custom recovery in the sense that we had been used to, because of this locked bootloader nightmare.
OK so I think you're gonna want to check out this thread. It's all about how to install any firmware from download mode, I think you're gonna have to go with NE3 or NH3.
Let me reiterate. NO CUSTOM ROMS. NO CWM. No Paranoid, no cyanogenmod, no AOSP, no crossing go before going directly to jail. Sorry for the stupid joke but seriously, you have got to keep your phone on stock-based roms (of which there are unfortunately few).

Yes, the at&t version i537 is the one I'm. Found some files this morning and run them in Odin but now back at bootloop. I'll check your files and see whats up on that end. It sucks because have not done anything to this phone unlike my other ones and this crap starts with this one on its own.

Well AT&T decided to completely lock us out on this particular version on this particular phone. At least we have *ROOT*.

You need to make sure you are flashing a version that is the same or more recent than the version you are currently on. You cannot downgrade your firmware or else you'll end up with a bootloop.

CF-Auto-Root

The first S6 Edge roots are available from the repository: http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/ !
Note that the stock kernel currently has an issue preventing the device from going into "deep sleep" if a custom recovery is flashed (which is what this does). A fix for this issue can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60383471&postcount=49. This fix will also work if you replace the recovery with for example TWRP.

Same issue here. I've tried all the "Odin" tricks.. different cables, different PCs, latest drivers, several reboots, different Odin versions, etc.... All the same, stuck on "NAND Write Start". Hoping for a fix soon.

Yes the sm-g925t is on the list

From looking at the other threads, specifically the non-edge S6 auto root thread, everyone is in the same boat. We just need to wait for Chainfire to update. Like an idiot, I accepted the out-of-the-box OTA although others are saying they are having the same issue without the OTA update.

mine is bricked. i tried to root and it wont get passed the first screen. cant even access recovery. i cant even get the phone to turn off

Damn I bricked mine too. Used Odin 3.10.6, got a successful flash but it won't get past the booting screen, won't shut off, can only really access Download Mode. Which I've tried using different suggestions but still failed to get it to boot up or put into recovery to complete the root process.

I would be really pissed if my new edge will be stuck before i even got to play with it...... Hope you guys get it working back asap

How did you get it to be successful flash? I tried ODIN 3.10.6 with the available CF-Auto_root and continue to get stuck at NANO WRITE! Of course i accepted the OTA right out of box also.
Wonder why we have different results of "same task"

I didn't actually take the OTA, because I wanted to be sure that I would be able to root the phone for sure without needing to wait too long for an update to the Auto Root Utility that would work with the newer version.

Okay enough of my excitement. Thanks for the advice, and helping me revive my phone. I hope Chainfire updates his first page post to ensure other people don't accidentally semi-brick their phones.

Yes, I installed the OTA and successfully rooted the S6 Edge (SM-925T) by using Odin 3.10.6 and the non-edge auto root (SM-G920T). It will trip KNOX as expected.

need urgent help - used pingpong method to root device, getting dm-verificatio now.

I have the Tmobile s6. I rooted it using the pingpong method and the king app. I then unrooted when it looked like it could mess with the builtin samsung security. BTw, i do not use s-pay and i never will.
I tried to do a factory reset from the "Settings" and upon reboot i get a message that says "dm-verification failed." How can I get rid of this? I did not install any custom roms.

Im not sure if Samsung Kies is still a thing. If it is, download it to your computer and flash stock from there

It's because of root, odin WILL fix it. I'm not sure it would fix DM verify if knox has been tripped so keep that in mind.

Try a factory reset first. If no luck then odin. Odin stock firmware will not trip knox if the k ox has not been tripped yet.

I had the dm verification failure until I installed firmware using smart switch and that got rid of it !

Recovery Is not Seandroid Enforcing Please help!!

I really ****ed up. I updated my phone to 5.1.1 and tried to root my s6 with CF-Auto Root by chainfire but it was for 5.0.2 and so I used that root for 5.1.1 and now its stuck when I restart it and says at the top left "Recovery Is Not Seandroid Enforcing." And is tuck on Samsung Galaxy S6 screen. I have also provided a picture. Hopefully someone can help me.

did you try smartswitch from your computer? other than that maybe odin the 5.1.1 official firmware, as of now as far as I know you can't flash anything else,, can you go to stock recovery and clear cache?

Just odin a stock 5.1.1 firmware. Root isn't supported yet on 5.1.1, you'll have to wait.
EDIT : get into download mode by holding volume down and home button while you start your device

Welp, Im in the same boat bud. Sucks lol. Bye bye 700 dollars

If you took the update - you cannot go back to 5.02 - if you tried and are stuck on the boot screen -then you will need to do Odin and flash the full stock 5.1.1 - then wait until they figure out how to get root back. As of right now, there are no other options - on either G920T or G925T.
But be patient - smarter people than me are saying we will eventally get root - the bootloader is not locked

Help! Not sure what to do, but my Galaxy Tab isn't working properly.

So, today I was trying to recover some lost files after resetting my tablet, only for the app to stop working and caused my tablet to go in an endless boot. I get to the Samsung Title, but get red words on top saying something about recovering seandroid enforcing. I'm not sure what t do other than odin back stock, but I am not sure what firmware it is that I need as I haven't rooted my tablet or done anything that would require it.
Any help would be great, thank you!

You would only get that warning if you somehow flashed a custom recovery.
Just download the firmware for your region and flash with odin.
