Well, not a singlle answer after so many views for days, but thank God it doesn't matter anymore, I was able to force the solution for th issue anyways! Issue resolved, if you have updated to 5.0.2 and have rooted your device before or after causing it to lose WiFi, please check out my solution for this issue here, it may very well prove to be your definitive solution. Thanks!

Installing the 5.0.2 OTA while rooted completely and utterly broke my WiFi. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get Wifi to work again. In the end I gave up, and just did a full factory reset from recovery. My recovery version btw is TWRP 2.8.3, and after installing the ZIP ROM update from the first post of this thread TWRP stayed, I didn't have to install it again. So anyways, I let it boot up and then rebooted back to recovery to root on recovery exit, which caused bootloops for a little while until I used Power+VolDown to go back into recovery and installed the SuperSU 2.45 zip from there. NO MORE PROBLEMS! It's just, PERFECT!!! Finally, no more long waits while booting looking at the logo, no more bootloops, and most importantly: by only using the recovery zips to root and never trying to root from the system or allowing it try to update SuperSU from the Play Store, NO WIFI ISSUES, from the very start all is just perfectly functioning, soooo smooth and really fast! FINALLY!!!!!! Really happy here, so remember, for XT1064 TWRP 2.8.3.0, and SuperSU 2.45 should really do the trick. Good Luck!

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.
Hi guys Recently Samsung released 5.1.1 for our devices! So I decided to make a easy tutorial on how to install TWRP on our devices (unfortunately without root).
1. Download newest odin from Here!
2. Reboot to download mode.
3. Download this file TWRP RECOVERY
4.Flash it with AP option.
5. Done! Now You should be able to boot into TWRP Recovery.
Info
Can I restore my previous custom rom now?
Yes and no. I tried restoring two roms. AOSP and TW, aosp had a bootloop then successfully booted, and TW didn't seem to boot at all.
Does it root my device/Can I root my device now?
Nope, not yet. I tried to make a custom rom with root built in but it was stuck in a bootloop.
Why would I need this?
Well. Now You can restore Your rom, and flash other roms(Some may fail due to a newer bootloader).
Any bugs?
Sometimes first boot after flashing this recovery might bootloop, but just remove Your battery and turn on Your phone again.(Happened only once to me)

Yes... I did manage to restore the backup image of 5.1 as I ended up in bootloop while trying for the root access. So far OK with at least TWRP is working.
I have a question, If I'm on 5.1.1 and I've installed this TWRP, By using this TWRP RECOVERY, can I install 5.0.1 custom rom via zip file?
I do not mean to restore my backup rom. I mean I do a fresh installation

It seems to bootloop roms that need 5.0 bootloader. But AOSP rom that runs on 5.1.1 boots up without any problems. Just during boot You might see message "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" and then the rom should boot up.
I flashed twrp via odin and it says pass then reboot after that when i try to enter recovery it get me to stock recovery any clue why is that and how to solve this ? v.v
Thanks a ton bro.
thank u so much guys

Which version of twrp is this?
after installing via of in twrp it fails to come up all I get is the standard recover
Hi I could really use some help here my phone had some trouble so I had to wipe it out and reinstall the 5.1.1 lollipop when I did so however I lost the recovery partition I was using TW RP I have since tried to reinstall it and Odin says that it is successful yet when I try to boot into the recovery partition I get to default recovery partition that comes with the phone I've also tried using the CWM recovery image and it does the same thing says its successful but I can't boot into it because it boots into the default one any idea what is going on and what I can do. I should also note that I've tried reinstalling the 5.0.1 version of lollipop and that has failed in Odin any ideas would be greatly appreciated because at the moment I have no way to root my phone I can't flash the custom kernel that's needed for 5.1.1 or anything else for that matter please help thank you

Easiest way on odin is make sure auto reboot is unchecked. When its done unplug the cable pull the battery put it back in boot into twrp Let me know how it works out for you.

Hello guardians of the Android Phones. I ran into a major issue while updating from 5.1.1 custom ROM to 6.0.1 that I found on this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...20t-android-6-0-1-marshmallow-update-t3356838
Steps I took:
1) Upgraded TWRP to 3.0.2.0 (3.0.2.1 doesn't work properly on my device. it flashes the TWRP 3 logo and then goes black) ... So I ended up re-installing TWRP 2.8.7.2 and then flashed TWRP 3.0.2.0
2) Copied the ROMS of choice to the SDCARD
3) Using Odin 3.10.7 I flashed using Twisted Sixx Custom ROM (which didn't work correctly due to the bootloader not being Marshmallow 6.0.1 compatible) from my understanding of what i've read through these threads.
4) Flashed the AP using G920TUVU3EPD1_G920TTMB3EPD1_G920TUVU3EPD1_HOME.tar.md5
Now i'm 100% locked out from downgrading Stock or Custom ROMS. TWRP can no longer be installed.
Having a feeling I used a Bear Trap ROM.
What do I do? Feeling like throwing this out the window. *sigh*.
Thanks ahead of time... anything to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
I am not a dev... but I tried smartswitch, perhaps it can help you. Hopefully you didn't do factory reset.
Try that and then if it doesn't work, again, wait for the experts.
What is SmartSwitch? Do you have a URL or THREAD with information and download links?
Thanks for the tip.

I did an Odin flash of EPF1 and didn't lose the ability to flash recovery. I have not yet tried downgrading. I would take a deep breath, drink a beer or two, and go back through things step by step. At this point I would suggest using Odin to flash a complete image, perhaps of a different version, and go from there.

Are you using the G920T also? Which image did you Odin flash with? Do you have the direct link? I do like your idea of flashing with a different 6.x image variant as opposed to downgrading.

I don't unfortunately - Google is your friend. Some firmwares that come to mind are DOJ7, DOJC, and COF6.
But first: Is your bootloader locked? If you have not yet unlocked it, that may be a problem. I unlocked mine as soon as I got my phone (and yes I'm on a G920T). A locked bootloader may prevent downgrading although it should not prevent a rescue Odin of the same or newer firmware.
Yes it's locked.
Is there a way to unlock it while maintaining my current image?
All those firmware are 5.x
I'm stuck on unlocked Marshmallow 6.0.1
And according to Smart Switch. I'm one version down from latest with it prompting to upgrade.
I'm going to hold off on that for the moment...
If you flashed edp1, you are far from latest.
Lemme know if i am wrong at anything
If you can access download and recovery, that means the phone is in a bootloop when booting up..
Since you flashed the edp1 firmware, your bootloader must have been updated so now you can only use mm roms.
As for recovery, is it stock or twrp?
Also when in download modex whats your system status - stock or custom?
Well if EDP1 is far from latest, then that is great news. I can boot into my firmware. It's for sure stock as far as I can tell.
Download mode output:
RED: ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G920T
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM
FAP LOCK: OFF
BLUE: Secure Download: Enabled
Knox Warranty Void: 1 (I tripped it when rooting it in 5.x)
AP SWREV: B:3 K:2 S:2
It won't let me get into TWRP after flashing it... when I try it says the following:
RED: "RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING"
It doesn't matter which version of TWRP I attempt to flash with.
Thanks!

Did you flashed root or anything after you tried to flash recovery via odin?
Also when you flashed edp1, phone still didnt boot?
Edp1 is about the march or april update i think
The next main update is epf1 because it restricts going back futher
Then there came a update 5 days ago.. just a security update... havent flashed that coz i am rooted..
Anyways lets concentrate on edp1
Since its a mm rom, going back to 5.1 roms means a bootloop, so ill suggest not doing that
Also after flashing the mm rom, if you flash anything over it, you wont be able to boot a system because a new dm verity check mm has introduced.. to bypass it, you either need to flash a mm root file or a kernel that can disable the check.
I was stuck at the same thing since i Flashed recovery and that failed the checks so was getting bootloops..
I was able to go in recovery and download mode but not boot up..
Since you have a custom status, it can be a reason for bootloops
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...y-official-twrp-galaxy-s6-edge-t3354508/page8
The phone boots. I just cannot get root. I guess I don't understand the terminology regarding "bootloops" or "MM" ... I attempted a APK root... which failed. And still using my previous kernel unless flashing the custom ROM overwrote that.
So I can login to the phone and connect it to USB and sideload APK files, no problem. I just cannot TWRP flash properly and enter it using the UP recovery mode. And when I tried flashing other ROMS in Download recovery mode either ODIN crashes or it gives me a NAND WRITE error.
Which root and / or kernel files would you suggest to me to flash in ODIN to break this protection that's preventing a full root on this image? Or would it be preferable in my situation to find a different ROM and resolving the ODIN crash problem to achieve a full 6.x marshmallow root?
Thanks again! Greatly appreciated Sir.

EPD1 and EPF1 are 6.0.1 Marshmallow.
@ninjadroids:
Take this as you will but reading back through this thread gives me the impression that you lack the necessary know-how to customize your phone. I highly suggest you leave it stock for the time being until you know EXACTLY what you are doing.
My reasons for saying this:
-In your first post you state that "using Odin 3.10.7 I flashed using Twisted Sixx Custom ROM". To my knowledge there are NO custom ROMs designed to be flashed via Odin. They are in .zip files, to be installed via recovery ONLY.
-This is actually my mistake - the G920T bootloader does not have a lock function; flashing a custom recovery will simply trip the e-fuse and render it Knox 0x1 warranty void.
-You are not familiar with what Odin images are for the G920T, or what version they are. You should NEVER flash ANYTHING via Odin unless you are absolutely sure it is intended for your specific device.
-In the 9th post you state your bootloader is unlocked (again I apologize for the confusion) but in the 3rd line you say you're on unlocked Marshmallow. I'm going to assume you have limited knowledge of what the bootloader, the recovery, download mode, and system are.
-You mention seeing the red "RECOVERY IS NOT SE ANDROID ENFORCING". This is an error message generated by the bootloader saying the recovery is custom and did not pass the security check...but it is also completely normal. I get it every single time I go into TWRP...which works just fine.
-You do not understand what "MM" means when all of us including you are talking about Marshmallow.
-You do not understand what a "bootloop" is. For the sake of education, a bootloop is exactly what it sounds like - your device gets stuck in a loop while booting. This is generally mentioned when it is persistent - the device does not complete the boot process, coming to a stable useable Android interface. This is indicative of several possible problems; most likely you did something incorrectly, causing the boot process to halt, in which case the phone restarts itself to attempt to boot again, hence the loop.
-You do seem to understand sideloading via ADB and I'll give you credit for that. But when using the button combo (Vol Up+Home+Pwr) to boot into recovery, you WILL boot into recovery...whether that is stock recovery or TWRP. Some reboots may prevent this; if in doubt, hold Vol Down+Home+PWR until the screen shuts off; immediately go to Vol UP while still holding Home and Power.
-In the 13th post you ask about flashing kernels via Odin. Firstly: custom ROM .zips contain the kernel intended to work with that ROM. There is no need to flash anything separately. I am a little fuzzy on how root is accomplished on stock Marshmallow; it used to be we could flash SuperSu via recovery, but now there is talk about systemless...Anyway, I will reiterate what I was saying about Odin: DO NOT USE IT unless you know EXACTLY what you are doing. You have the potential to turn your phone into an expensive paperweight.
I am not trying to put you on blast or criticize you; I'm trying to help you avoid bricking your phone. There are a lot of things that could go wrong; you shouldn't be messing with something you don't understand, especially if you don't know how to fix it if something goes wrong.
For now even i am confused as to what is causing error.
Its probably that his storage is not curropt causing namd write fail..
I would recommend doing a backup. since you can turn on a phone, connect it to pc and move the important files and contacts to it.
Then download stock rom via sam mobile and do a clean install..
Ill prefer pf1 because, if memory serves right, edp1 had that notorious auto brightness bug.. If odin is not helping then try smart switch.
Boot up system, see if everything is working..it should be fresh as new.
After that follow the instructions as to flash twrp from the link i gave in one of my previous posts.. twrp should now flash...( i dont see any reason it shouldnt )
Flash root via recovery, or a custom rom you wanna flash but make sure its a 6.0.1 one ( xtre sto lite or alexis recommended )
That should root your phone too...
P.s. mm -> short for MarshMallow
Bootloop, when all you see is samsung logo which comes during boot... it wont go past that.. you never reach your lock screen or are able to unlock your phone... as mentioned in detail by -> socal
Flashing any rom overwrites kernel so if you flashed edp1, you are now on stock kernel...
P.p.s when you said sideload apk.. was it via adb shell or simply installing apk from internal memory of phone?
You answered a lot of my questions in that last post. Thank you kindly.

Wonderful. Thanks man. I will be attempting a Stock ROM Odin flash and go from there. I will update my progress. Thank you all very much for the answered questions and pointing me in the right direction. Hopefully this thread will prove useful for anyone who is attempting to deal with a G920-T and attaining root the proper way for Marshmallow 6.x
