Depends on what version you are on. I am currently on 5.0.1 and used pingpongroot
As far as I'm aware, ping-pong root has been the only root method for AT&T S6. It worked on the first 2 builds of 5.0.2. If you are on a later 5.0.2 or any 5.1.1 build, there is currently no known root method. Read the ping-pong root thread for more details.

Here's the pingpong root thread. Took me a minute to find, so for your convenience:

Try a different att store or a bestbuy with a Samsung experience shop inside. Bestbuy with SE store is your best bet

My friend have a refurbished G900A (OF2), and when he tried to start to configure his phone it appeared the message "anormal reset", so we decided to downgrade it but we haven't found any solution (and we researched for hours).
The problem is, the bootloader is locked, and my friend discovered after installing "Supersu", that the phone is rooted.
So, I'm asking for your help to find a solution, or at least find how to change that "anormal reset" message, because when he tried to use any solution on the internet (specially YouTube), the phone responds "Error processing" (or something like that, it's in spanish) when he tries to insert his or my Samsung account, or doesn't allow to start Samsung Apps when he tries to change the "Accesibility" options.
Best regards from Chile!
(And sorry about my english)

Reactivation lock may be your problem. If you can get it to boot up disable it in settings

Thanks for your answer!
I tried to do that, but when I unchecked the box to disable the lock, the phone checks it again.
So now I'm thinking as a desperate option, to bring the phone to a Samsung Official service center.

I brought the phone to a Samsung Service Center, and they can't fix the phone, because the AT&T Model doesn't have support in my country.
Is there any way to remove the samsung account lock in the OF2 version?
Your friend might have gotten conned. I once bought a refurbished phone and it had an IMEI lock on it, meaning it was either lost or stolen. So it's possibly a similar situation...

i have had my device rooted since the week i got it in october successfully, no issues. when i got the phone it was on the oi6 firmware, rooted it and put MOAR rom on it, no issues. then on the 23rd the day before i was going to go out of town i changed my primary google account password on my device, and for some reason i couldnt tell you why other than it didnt seem that it would be of any significance that OEM UNLOCK option was enabled so i turned it off not thinking anything of it, and right after i reboot the phone i found myself in a bootloop. only going to samsung galaxy note 5 powered by android with little red writing at top that says custom binary blocked by FRP lock. so i did some research and it became obvious what my issue was that the oem unlock should never had been touched. from what i figure, but that didnt validate why i was never given the chance to actually verify my account being that the device hasnt booted back into the os or any screen other than the splash screen i mentioned and download mode. thats the only two things i can access my download screen reads this

Seems this guy got his working
Try use Samsung KIES (or Samsung Smart Switch) on Windows PC to flash/restore your firmware. I've never had to this way though.
And BTW. This is not a "hard brick", so your thread title is misleading. It's "soft"...

Awfully suspicious if you can't find your serial number.
They all come on the sticker that seals the two halves of the box. This is standard from Samsung.
And you're in the wrong forum. .

mate, its really nothing to worry about, it isnt hard bricked,
i had the exam same issue, that oem lock can be a real pain in the arse,
all you need to do is download the firmware, and i mean not just the same android version, but the same, as in oc1 ok1, what ever version you were rocking,
in my case it was the latest firmware available on sammobile,
and flash it via odin,
after that you must wipe cache, data, and factory reset to be a able to use your phone,
once booted,
you can login with you google account, enable oem unlock from dev mode, and install custom recovery and do what you do from there.
cheers

ALL EARS
So long as you are using genuine Samsung firmware or smart switch you do not need OEM unlocked.
If Odin is not recognizing your phone something has gone wrong with either your drivers or your phone is in a bad state.
Power down your phone, if you have to because it is restarting, catch it so you get back into download mode.
Then follow these steps exactly as they are laid out.
Open Smart Switch, click MORE, click Emergency software recovery and initialization, click device initialization, type in your model number using caps and dashes such as SM-N9200 or whatever your device is, then input your serial number again using caps for all the letters in your SN, finally connect your phone to your PC and continue with the prompts from Smart Switch.
The problem is since you have a carrier version, smart switch may not work. There was a guy who said it would not work for an AT&T phone.
Good luck.
Edit: I checked in smart switch using the sprint model number and it took it so you should be good to go.

yes i can get it in download mode ive installed the drivers from samsung website for the note 5, and installed them. is there other drivers i should install fgor it to recognize it? i also am successful in getting smart switch to recognize the SM-N920P for my phone model but i am unclear on how to obtain the serial number that smart switch wants. ive tried the dec hex the imei esn hex and the spc none of which it accepts. i have the box and it doesnt say serial number anywhere so im lost when i get to that point

That is a problem then because you need that number. It should be labeled SN and should be a mix of letters and numbers. Perhaps sprint keeps those records on file.
