Galaxy s6 edge g925v
Currently running 7.0 but i will be downgrading to 6.0 as i believe i will have an easier time rooting
Downloaded the correct TWRP recovery, updated ODIN 3.12 and have all the correct samsung drivers
Connect phone to PC and ODIN recognizes it. Add the TWRP recovery to AP and when i try to flash it always fails.
USB debugging is on and since my phone is international what i have read is that it is already OEM unlocked.
NEED HELP.

This turns off reactivation lock for when it is stuck on by flashing lowest firmware for your device with Odin and it stays off through mm
This only is confirmed to work on Verizon s5
Doesn't work on g900p
but should work for a lot of s5 models
the worst that can happen is Odin will give you an authentication/authorization error then you just pull battery and reboot and everything will still be there nothing will be lost.
If you somehow manage to get the flash failed error. Where you are stuck in Odin just flash the firmware tar file you were on in Odin before you flashed the oldest firmware for your device in Odin no data will be lost.
Download Odin to your Pc Google it
Then go to Samsung website and download your phones drivers to your computer
Download Samsung Smart switch to your computer and make a backup of your phone with smartsswitch
you may need to use Samsung kies 3 if smart witch doesn't work
Go to sammobile. Com download the firmware you are currently on to your computer
Then download the oldest firmware for your device to your computer from sammobile. Com
This turns off reactivation lock for when it is stuck on by flashing lowest firmware for your device with Odin and it stays off through mm
This probably doesn't work on at&t models or other security restrictive phone carrier models
How to turn off reactivation lock when it is stuck on for other s5 models
First backup using samsung smart switch or Samsung kies 3 then backup other files you want to keep to somewhere you can retrieve it
after the backup remove SD card sometimes it gets corrupted during flashing roms
Download oldest firmware for your device from sammobile.com
Try to flash it in Odin if it succeeds wait for it to boot if it doesn't flash you can't use this method please tell me what models do and don't work I will update this post
If it flashes completely but doesn't boot then boot to recovery and wipe data factory and cache then reboot
if it gets stuck at Samsung screen flash the boot.img or kernel tar file for the oldest firmware for your device that you downloaded from sammobile. Com
Once it boots go through the setup wizard without signing in to any accounts
Then go directly to settings security and turn off reactivation lock at this step sign into Samsung account
If you dont want root or bootloader unlock then you are done
If you want root or bootloader unlock continue
*Some devices may not be able to get root or get bootloader unlock*
Then root using towelroot or cf auto root whichever applies to you
check xda and cf auto root website for your phone model
After you get root check if your boot loader is unlocked by trying to flash in Odin twrp for your device download from team windows recovery project TWRP website
If it succeeds boot into recovery
And flash away
if it fails with authorization error your boot loader is locked so look up how to unlock boot loader for your phone model on XDA developers
Once the boot loader is unlocked Then flash twrp for your device using Odin and boot into recovery then flash away
Thank you Geohot for towelroot KK
Thank You Hashcode and Jrkruse for safestrap
if flashing oldest firmware using Odin doesn't work you can't use this method please tell me what models do and don't work and I will update this post
doesnt work on g900p sprint version
Thanks

@op does it removed the reactivation lock on G900V permanently or temporarily.....?
The g900v model has a seperate thread it is only a full bypass at the moment it makes it possible to use the phone without bypassing setup wizard at every boot thread is here Reactivation lock can be turned off finally for those stuck on reactivation lock

Hello guys
So I have a N910T3 with baseband N910T3UVS3EPK2. My phone has never been rooted or touched before. I would like to install TWRP so heres what I've done so far.
1.) Enable USB debugging, oem unlock
2.) Downloaded TWRP for note 4 tmobile
3.) Install ADB Drivers
4.) Downloaded ODIN and loaded it with TWRP img.
5.) It downloaded on my phone, and after saying "PASS", I restarted the phone.
6.) If I go to recovery, Stock recovery is still there... Why is that TWRP is not installed?
Thank you.

Go to odin options and uncheck auto reboot.
Flash twrp recovery in odin.
Once odin shows pass remove battery and insert again.
Press 3 buttons simontenesly ( volume up+home+power) until Samsung logo shows then let go all buttons.
You will boot into twrp for sure.
Reason why your twrp was not installed because if you dont uncheck auto reboot in odin options the system will rewrite stock recovery if your device reboot after flash twrp.
it worked. nice
Cannot find TWRP .tar or .md5 files for Odin
When I go to download TWRP for my N910T Galaxy Note 4 T-Mobile, running EQB1 firmware, I only see various TWRP versions that are .img files; none that are .tar or .md5 that ODIN wants. Example: twrp-3.0.2-0-tbltetmo.img
So where do I find an ODIN compatible version?
Thanks.
Hello family; you all much appreciated for the support here:
i have an G925A stuck in a boot loop and asks to check DRK. i seem to have no clue on how to go about it, and asking for your kind help.
I have the same problem.
I have updated from 5.0.2 to 6.0.1 (I tried different firmwares found here) and now the phone doesn't boot anymore (it says something about DRK) and goes automatically into recovery mode.
Download mode still working but I don't know what to flash anymore....I can't downgrade to 5.0.2 since the bootloader doesn't allow and I can't try to upgrade to Nougat since "install zip from adb" in original recovery doesn't work...

I had the same issue after trying MM ROM from 5.1.1. Finally I solved this issue following step.
1) My trial MM ROM is PK5 version
2) I try Download ROM (full 4 files) via Odin
3) The issue is remained. I try Download ROM via Odin which is 5.1.1 root version in development board. In recovery mode, you can select reboot. Then phone is freezed with galaxy logo screen without entering recovery mode again.
4) I retry Download PK5 AP ROM only via Odin.
Then phone start to work normally with MM.
But it is not fixed issue. If you enter recovery mode. You will meet the DRK error again.
Anyway, I hope you can slove DRK error issue
I've enabled USB Debugging and Unlocked OEM, downloaded the latest Odin and the correct baseband version of CF-AR from firmware.mobi. I've installed the USB drivers by installing Smart Switch. Odin recognizes the Note 5 when I enter download and flashing the image.tar.md5 extracted from the CF-AR zip is successful, taking about one minute.
But when the phone then auto boots, the phone boots again once after a few seconds and then proceeds to load Nougat, no SuperSu app in the tray. When I run the root.bat same result.
When I flash the SuperSu zip (2.82, downloaded from XDA) from TWRP (keep read only) the flash succeeds in about one minute, but when I reboot again no SuperSu app.
What might be going on?
tried cf-autoroot on ma n920c nougat same. not rooted, no supersu. downloaded it manually said device not rooted. ODIN flashed successfully.
I'm in a weird situation, I flashed the latest stock firmware for my phone (N920GDDS4CRD2_N920GODD3CQJ2_N920GUBU4CRA1_HOME.tar) through odin and now it is stuck. Then I went to download mode again to flash twrp just to try to wipe cache and stuff to get it working, no luck as it wouldn't boot into recovery. Then I tried flashing the same firmware through odin again but I get an error (sw rev. check failed), I know why I am getting this. its because the phone doesn't allow downgrading and the firmware that I am trying to flash is the latest one. Any help would be appreciated.
Check last twrp installed. Next try flash any custom rom.zip
