Okay, so I rooted my phone back in December and had no problems at all with firmware 4.3. I had this app called "Clean Master" I think, so it analyzed my device to clean up "unnecessary" files and such. I go ahead a clean whatever it had "cleaned" and then I noticed that when I went into settings that it started freezing for about a minute or so and had to force close the settings. It also started to restart randomly at times and it got to the point where I just got fed up and looked to the internet. I decided to use Odin to Unroot my phone because at the time that's what I thought was causing the problem. This is where I think (I know) I screwed up. Instead of flashing the stock firmware for the T-Mobile Galaxy s4 I flashed this "GT-I9500-XSE-I9500XXUAME1-ROOTED_MAY4". I think I used this file for rooting but I downloaded so many files to get the rooting to work that I don't remember. This file is neither an .md5 file nor a .tar file. I don't know what I was thinking and I regret the decision. I started the transfer of whatever file that was to my phone using the Custom ROM download screen, and it only took about 4 seconds and said it passed. It reboots but ever since has been stuck on the Samsung Galaxy s4 screen. Recently it now says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. I've tried connecting the device via Kies but IT DOES NOT CONNECT. I'm beginning to think that I've just completely destroyed the phone and will be needing to by another. Any help would be much appreciated. I've tried everything I know. I've wiped the cache, wiped the data and factory reset the phone, but it won't reboot correctly. I'm stuck people. What can I do?
Can you get into download mode?

#1: Find the Odin flash rom/firmware for your phone and load Odin with it.
#2: Put the phone into download mode.
#3: plug usb cable into phone and computer.
#4: after you see [COM:xx] light up click START in Odin.
#5: when it gets done flashing let it reboot, have patience.
Forget all about these cleaning utilities, you can do all the cleaning
you want once the phone works properly and once it's rooted.
Only use CF-Autoroot to root the phone for best and trouble free results.
Here is the direct download link for CF-AutoRoot:
http://download.chainfire.eu/328/CF-Root1/CF-Auto-Root-jfltetmo-jfltetmo-sghm919.zip?retrieve_file=1
Good luck!
Misterjunky gives good instruction, if you can get into download mode your phone can be resurrected. In my early days of flashing, I thought I had created an expensive paperweight but the guys on here saved me. One thing, you may have to do a factory reset in stock recovery to get your phone to boot. Happened to me a couple of times.
Good luck.
Flash until you brick!
Ok, so I'm pretty sure I have the right Odin flash firmware, but it all goes really fast and after "aboot.mdn" it stops and it says FAIL. Ok so I tried the md5 file that came with the download and it went through fine, but It's still stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen. Do I need to restart the system now and try the firmware file?

Flash this TWRP custom recovery in ODIN then go into recovery mode and
do a full wipe, data, system, dalvik cache, cache and do a Factory Reset.
Here is the direct download link for the Odin flash TWRP recovery:
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/jfltetmo/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-jfltetmo.tar
Once that's done go into download mode and flash the
stock official M919 4.2.2 firmware (tar/md5) file.
Good luck!
SO I went into recovery mode, but it stays on the "teamwin" screen.
Pull the battery out of the phone, then put it back in and try to boot into recovery again. Sometimes, the recovery will hang like you described. You might have to repeat this process again and again until you get into the main menu of the recovery.
Okay, so I'm sure I'm doing everything right. I flashed the twrp recovery it restarts my phone. I held the power key, home key, and up key on the phone and released the power button when it shows the text on the top left showing that it is going to start recovery. It goes to a "teamwin" screen but freezes there. Truthfully, do you think I will be able to recover my phone, or will I need to send it in to samsung and pay 70 dollars plus the damages?

Do you think the reason why I can't flash the firmware is because I upgraded to 4.3 and it brought KNOX onto the phone?

Are you sure some other people have tried this file on a t-mobile variant? because GT-I9500 is indeed for a galaxy s4, but it's for the octa chipset, which is completely different from the t-mobile variant of the s4 since the t-mobile version is similar to GT-I9505, which is a quad core instead of a octa core
Just to give you guys a heads-up, I fixed my phone, but not by the ways you guys suggested. Not that I'm ungrateful, I am very happy you all took the time to help me out and I appreciate the suggestions. Thank you so much.
Oh and I fixed it by going into kies, clicking on "tools", "firmware upgrade and initialisation", and proceeded to follow the steps and type in my Model name and Serial Number.Fortunately they had the ability for my phone to return it COMPLETELY stock.
Thank you!

OMG thank you for this. I actually registered just to thank you for this, I thought I was totally boned.
Hi all. I'm in a real pickle here and hoping someone can tell me how to get out of this mess. It's a bit of a long story, but I'll summarise as best I can.
I've had my Galaxy Note 2 LTE (N7105) for a year and I rooted it pretty much the day after I got it. I'm not new to rooting at all (fourth Android device since 2010, all rooted), but I still feel like a noob at times. Over this 2014 Easter period I had time off so I decided to change ROMs.
I was previously using CM 11, which I had been using pretty much since I rooted. And I had updated CM at least once a month, sometimes more frequently. So I was looking for some new ROMs, downloaded about 5 and tried them out. The last two I tried was OmniROM (a 4.4.2 ROM) and CM 11 Remix (also a 4.4.2 ROM). I was using TWRP 2.7.0.2 to do the wipes, caches, flashes, etc. I had no issues flashing OmniROM, but when I flashed CM 11 Remix, I couldn't get in the first time. I was stuck in a boot loop. I pulled the battery, got back into recovery and tried flashing again. Still boot looping. I think the mistake I made was a Data Format. Either way, I finally got CM 11 Remix to load by first wiping, flashing the ROM, GApps, a sensor fix, a camera fix, Devil Kernel and then Super SU. However once in the ROM I was getting constant Google Play Store / Services FCs. Oh, and yes, I went through the typical brand new Android setups, entering my Google account and so on... I found that if I cleared data / caches on both Google Play Store app and Google Play Services app, it gave me temporary joy but as soon as I tried to download any app in Google Play I'd get the FC. Also, my signal was totally gone. I tried flashing back to OmniROM as it was my last known good and working ROM, but now that was boot looping. I even tried some of the other ROMs from that bunch I had, including AOKP. All would boot loop.
So after much trying different GApp packages, I decided to best thing to do would be restore it to stock, root again, then go for the custom ROM (hopefully CM 11 Remix) from a nice clean slate. So I did this. I downloaded the Android 4.3 stock ROM from SamMobile here. Installed Odin 3.07, then loaded it up and flashed the stock ROM. All seemed to go great, but when the ROM was done and phone rebooted, I get stuck in another boot loop! This time at the white "Samsung" logo with the glowing blue edges. Not the model number screen. Also my LED light is on blue, if that means anything.
So I found this thread (post at top of page) which suggests I need to flash the PIT file during the stock ROM installation with Odin. So I found the PIT file here, and I'm ready to flash this along with the stock ROM... HOWEVER, I read something somewhere (can't find it now) that implied if I'm on Android 4.3, flashing a PIT is a bad move. Can anyone comment on that? I guessing since the stock ROM is 4.3, I'm technically on 4.3 (even though I can't get into it).
Or if anything else I'm doing immediately stands out as a seriously stupid move, please let me know. I've been without normal use of my phone for a couple days now and ironically I'm at the point where I'm considering going without a phone for the rest of my life... LOL! AS IF I COULD!
Anyways, any help will be much appreciated!
EDIT: I just realised I should have posted in Troubleshooting, not General Questions... If mods want to move this, please do.
i just suggest that you flash the stock odin without the pit and see if its working out or not. sometimes playing with pit files can screw up your device even more...
btw... next time you play flashing... i'm suggesting you make a backup of your working custom. its will save you lots of time if this kind of problem happen.

I had a problem with my device where I was stuck at boot loader as well, but it was from the rar file of the rom(cm 11) cause I tried downloading it again and it worked.
I suggest you prepare Odin and the stock firmware, wipe factory/cache dalvik, system (advanced), then flash stock firmware, to bring everything back to normal.

Hmmm, I'm not stuck at boot loader, just boot loop. Maybe you meant that?
To clarify, all I can do now is...
1. Boot normally and end up in a boot loop (at "Samsung" white logo with glowing blue edges).
2. Boot into Download mode and from there I can use Odin to flash / install.
3. Boot into stock recovery, which I've never used before (only ever used custom recovery).
I've prepped Odin again, ready to flash the stock firmware, but I've never done a wipe / factory reset with Odin. I don't see any Advanced settings? Did you mean I can do it elsewhere? Cos I see I can do wipes / factory reset from stock recovery.
So should I do that AND then go into Download mode and flash stock firmware with Odin?

ohhh my bad, I meant boot loop (stuck at samsung logo), mine was stuck there but then after it restarts and goes into recovery mode
do these following steps and you should be fine with your device.
1. Go into recovery mode
2. Wipe factory/reset
3. Wipe cache
4. Wipe dalvik
5. Advance > format/system
Now you have no rom or any OS to load,
1. Power off the device
2. Open Odin on your PC(right click run as administrator)
3. power on your note in Download Mode
4. Connect your device to your PC via USB
5. odin should recognize your device, something blue like " ID" or something there, you should be familiar with that.
6. click PDA, and find the official stock firmware zip you got it from samsung website, and make sure it fits your device(for example if you have your note from italy you should have ITV)
7. Hit Start and it should finish in 5-10 minutes.
Its the cleanest way with Odin, I did some crap on my device and that's how I return it to normal.

All good! Cheers man!
I actually went ahead and booted into stock recovery and did the factory reset and partition wipe before I saw your post. And the stock firmware I'd flashed with Odin previously is now booting and I'm finally back in!!! WOOOOOOOOO!!!
Just need to root this bad boy and get back to a nice shiny custom ROM.
Thanks for the advice everyone!

I have another hurdle... Some built in security is stopping SuperSU from running. It's not Knox, but something like it. I get this error message:
"Unauthorized access to a secured area has been blocked. Tap here for more info."
How can I disable this? I've searched on Google already but so far nothing is helping and I can mostly only find info about Knox...
EDIT: It was goddamn Knox all along... And I just disabled it by means of SuperSU. Finally!

Heh, yeah, all is well in my world once again!
The Note 2 is a great device man. I am sure you'll love it. The Note 3 looks great also, but I don't like the ribbed sides (I'm fussy) and last I read there's an eFuze that goes off once rooted or something along those lines. That's sh!t.

My case is the same case of Invertedskull. I already did all steps as you instructed. I wiped data/cache/system and flash a stock room 4.4.2 of Nordic Rom on SamMobile website.
After flashed, the looping still happens. When I put the charger, the looping stops and goes to the main screen normally. Sometimes, it suddenly restarts but not frequently.
OMG! How to stop it. Pls help me.

If you have access to anything, and don't get JUST the boot loop, then you DO NOT have the same case I was in. You are probably able to recover from this. Try posting on the Tf Forums. The guys over there are "specialists" in Asus Tf tablets, and as you'll see on this thread (http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...-boot-loop-after-doing-routine-cm-update.html), they gave me a lot of help. Not that I was able to recover, but they were awesome dudes.

mroldman281, You didn't post again, so I don't know, If You found solution, but since I had same simptoms, and after four days of reinstalling different stock roms, wiping and even messing with PIT via Odin etc..I can say, that in my case the reason for boot loop was faulty battery. The phone worked when it was plugged in and restarted soon after i unplugged USB cable, and just lopped afterwards. Replacement battery put everything back in order. And I am one happy Camper!
Hope this info helps someone else with boot loop problem
same problem stuck in bootloop
hey guys i have the same problem bootloop all the time i tryied stock firmware but nothing happend avec i rooted my note 2 and intalled a costom recovery and a many roms but stuck in bootloop i didn't chage baterry , by the way i wiped cache and reset factory and clear dalvick cache but the same always bootloop
what u suggest i do
ps : i can acces to bootloader or download mode it charge normally
woow get back my note 2 lte alone
hey guys i get back my note 2 i don't know how but it was a succes :victory:
first : i tried so many afficial firmware 4.4.2 and costom roms but didn't change the problem of bootloop

well i thinks one of the selutions here is to revert back the the original stock firmware like i did so maybe will fix the bootloop
Hi guys,
I have the t-mobile s6 edge
After messing around with my device last night and this morning, I decided to go back to stock for a bit.
I have ODIN 3.10.6. I went into download mode on my phone. extracted the stock firmware from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/sm-g925f-s6-firmware-thread-t3078841
loaded the "G925TUVU1AOCG_G925TTMB1AOCG_G925TUVU1AOCG_HOME.tar.md5" file into the ap box for odin
connected my phone to computer, odin recognized it. hit start. ran successfully. rebooted, android guy came up briefly and said installing system update, then it changed to "Erasing..." then it rebooted again
now it's just bootloops forever after the tmobile screen. I can boot to recovery and it says installing system update each time I boot to recovery, but selecting reboot system there shows a no command error. force the phone to power off... power on again to bootloops.
tried to go into download mode again and reflash everything through odin, same issue!
I started last night by rooting using chainfire, then installing TWRPv2, then I flashed the 5.1.1 ROM available from @eousphoros (sorry for the tag, just thought you might want to be apprised of the issues in getting back to stock after using the 5.1.1 ROM).
with 5.1.1 loaded, smart switch didn't recognize the phone for a reset so I decided to go with the ODIN method and now i'm in bootloop city
any help would be greatly appreciated

You probably need to do a factory reset
In the future you should make a full backup before installing a rom

AHH!! Sorry to have made this post... here's what I did to get it actually boot:
reflahed the stock firmware through odin again, tried to reboot, it failed, obviously. rebooted to recovery, factory reset in recovery, power down option in recovery, then turned the phone on again and it magically worked!
hopefully this post will help someone who encountered the same issue

AHH!! Sorry to have made this post... here's what I did to get it actually boot:
reflahed the stock firmware through odin again, tried to reboot, it failed, obviously. rebooted to recovery, factory reset in recovery, power down option in recovery, then turned the phone on again and it magically worked!
hopefully this post will help someone who encountered the same issue

I had the same excat same thing happen when flashing this via Odin. I didnt need to Odin stock twice though . I just booted stock recovery and did a factory reset. After that I went ahead an powered down and rebooted . All good now
How long did you have to wait in the stock recovery to get past the "installing system update" screen? Mine just sits there and I'm unable to view other options in recovery.
EDIT for noobs (like me): wait 30 seconds on the "installing system update" screen.
I'm still stuck in boot loop
Im in the same exact situation , but I'm still stuck in boot loop. I followed your restore instructions and nothing. Please help.

Pp.
I initially used odin to flash OI1 update, after a rom I was using caused problems and I got bootloop. It changed bootloader value to b:3 and I'm unable to downgrade now so I used smart switch which didn't recognize device so used emergency recovery and still bootloop. I have factory reset and wipe cache multiple times along with adb side load and individual flashes of bootloader, modem, kernel, flashed custom kernel and twrp to access fix permissions and to mount partitions with advanced wipe etc and still wont boot past logo. Also during one fix attempt phone said can't mount system.. Idk I'm not understanding where the problem is .everything says successful but I'm still in bootloop. Please help. I've spent hours everyday for the past week searching & trying different things that seem might help so open to any suggestions.
Problem with Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini GT-I9195
Hi everyone
I'm new to the whole ROM flashing and using Odin. I had a bootloop problem and recovery mode showed all the options but has a green android man laying down with red icon above him and No Command below the android man. Tried the factory wipe and cache wipe but it gives some red writing with the word failed in the coding and the word error under the android man. Tried to flash a stock ROM from sammobile using Odin. Odin gives a pass but the same problems persist. Can someone please help?
any solution, i have this problem to? only bootloop, nothing else. Updatet bootloader with 4up

Hi guys,
I have the t-mobile s6 edge
After messing around with my device last night and this morning, I decided to go back to stock for a bit.
I have ODIN 3.10.6. I went into download mode on my phone. extracted the stock firmware from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/general/sm-g925f-s6-firmware-thread-t3078841
loaded the "G925TUVU1AOCG_G925TTMB1AOCG_G925TUVU1AOCG_HOME.tar.md5" file into the ap box for odin
connected my phone to computer, odin recognized it. hit start. ran successfully. rebooted, android guy came up briefly and said installing system update, then it changed to "Erasing..." then it rebooted again
now it's just bootloops forever after the tmobile screen. I can boot to recovery and it says installing system update each time I boot to recovery, but selecting reboot system there shows a no command error. force the phone to power off... power on again to bootloops.
tried to go into download mode again and reflash everything through odin, same issue!
I started last night by rooting using chainfire, then installing TWRPv2, then I flashed the 5.1.1 ROM available from @eousphoros (sorry for the tag, just thought you might want to be apprised of the issues in getting back to stock after using the 5.1.1 ROM).
with 5.1.1 loaded, smart switch didn't recognize the phone for a reset so I decided to go with the ODIN method and now i'm in bootloop city
any help would be greatly appreciated

i need downgred g925t frome androide 7 to 6 or 5.1.1
can anyone help me
im flashed phone whit dis frimwer from anroide 7 G925TUVS6FRC1_G925TTMB6FRC1_TMB

I'm having one hell of a time with this tablet. This is pushing a month and I'm still not satisfied with my tablet.
Tonight I finally tracked down what I had hoped was a stock firmware for my tablet. Halfway through the download it timed out and when I went to download it again, the same thing happened.
So I tried to take my tablet that isn't "properly rooted" anymore and use Odin 9, instead of Odin 10, and place kitkat on my device rather than be stuck with Lollipop 5.0.2. All of this because The Sims Freeplay app isn't working and I can't find another soul on the face of the earth who can give me an answer to why this is happening.
Now I'm stuck on the samsung logo. I managed to get it back in download mode and that's where I flashed Lollipop 5.0.2 through Odin 10. I figured that would solve my problem. It didn't, but at least I got TWRP back on my device.
I never recovered anything that came with my tablet. I did not think I'd ever go back to unroot nor did I know how to back it up in the first place. So there's nothing in my recovery I can boot from. So what I did was I came back here and I downloaded the recovery for TWRP. I flashed it from my SD card, it told me it was successful... now what? I've rebooted and my device still loads to the samsung logo...and just stays there. The little confetti animation happens behind the logo, but that's it. It doesn't turn off. It doesn't reset itself.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I'M DOING WRONG?!
I've already voided the warranty on this device and I regret almost daily that I decided to root in the first place. I say this only because I think rooted devices are top-notch, but I haven't been having very much luck with them. It took me a week to root. When I finally rooted then my favorite app game stopped working. Then I figured I could flash the stock firmware easily (but it seems like every place I go to find kitkat or even stock lollipop I can't find or I do, but files are corrupt or sites are full of ads).
I can't use my device at all now except click around in TWRP which isn't doing me any good.
I just want my tablet back. I spent 500 dollars on this thing and I haven't had time to even enjoy it. It's only two months old.
Please. Again. Someone HELP me. I want to figure this out and I don't want to accept that I bricked my device because I've watched plenty of videos on youtube and people are stuck with a phone that's resetting and all they do is fix it right there in front of my eyes.
Why can't I fix this? What is it that I'm not doing properly?

I just skimmed through all this reading, so I may have missed a few things. The thing I didn't see if factory resetting. You need to factory reset in twrp. Just go to wipe and factory reset. Now reboot and wait at least 20 minutes as it does take quite a while to boot.
If doesnt do, transfer a custom stock based ROM for your device (any KK ROM should do) to your SD card. Factory reset in twrp and flash ROM. Now reboot and wait.
Typically, flashing with Odin takes 20 minutes to boot up for the first time. Just be sure you factory reset.

By any chance does it take longer than 20 minutes?

Sometimes. Try and wait 10 more minutes.
If it doesn't boot, I think you may have to flash a custom stock based ROM and flash it from your SD card in twrp.

Custom Stock Based Rom? Does that mean I'll push myself further away from a stock firmware? Also... where do I find one and are there instructions for it? I thought roms were firmwares up until like 4 hours ago and I've been reading of roots for a little over a month now.
I see you've got the same tablet. By any chance are you running 5.0.2 lollipop and do you happen to know having a rooted device is the reason why The Sims Freeplay won't get past it's splash screen or if it's the app itself and it's newest update that made it wiggy?
I'll flash whatever at this point, but my main reasons for continuing to mess with my tablet was because of not being able to play the sims on there. Every other game I play works.

The only thing I can suggest is download this to your SD card and flash it in twrp. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56345482
The Sims may not work because its uncomptiple with lollipop.
Simply, hit wipe in twrp, hit advanced wipe, and tick system, dalivk and cache. Then go back and install the Cm11 zip and reboot. Hopefully it gets you booting

I'd actually flash this as its more like stock just debloated.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/prerooted-stock-touchwiz-rom-t2973107
You need to wipe system, dalvik, cache and data then Install via twrp.
Wait at least 10 to 15 mins after install for initial boot up.
For future reference whenever you go back to kitkat from lollipop you need to wipe the data and cache partition first.
By the way some apps and games do not work on rooted devices for security reasons.

I understand that. That is why I clicked unroot in supersu and tried the game app, but it still wouldn't work. On my galaxy note 3 I run 5.0 lollipop and my game works fine. My phone isn't rooted and I never decided to root it and then unroot it.
Is an app smart enough to know when a device has been rooted and if are those that hack their actual game on rooted devices uses cloak or xposed or both to by pass their root?
I rather be unrooted for the sake of the game, but how does one find the stock firmware? Or is it not possible at this point?
Sorry for any confusion.

Okay. I installed or flashed ironrom to my tablet from twrp. i followed the directions it told me and I decided to pick the regular rom above the custom one that was close to stock. Then it told me that it was going to reboot; which it did. When it came back it got stuck on the same samsung loading screen so I powered it off, went back into TWRP (because powering off now isn't possible, more like restart) and I went to "Reboot " and then I clicked "power off".
I guess I'll be waiting for 10 to 15 minutes.
I Pray I did this correctly.

Why did you reboot back into twrp? You should have just let it do its thing after it rebooted.
So for any others that may happen upon this thread.
What was your solution?

I did because I thought it had to be shut down before I powered it on and waited. I realized afterwards that you probably meant to just let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes.

cant reboot after failed encryption
I was trying to encrypt my galaxy tab s, which is rooted and has lollipop 5.0. Afrer reading encryption failed. I tried to reboot in recovery via twrp. My device doesn't reboot, it just acts like its going thru the motions. Only to return to twrp recovery menu. How do I reboot the system clearing the failed encryptions. I am a noob and any suggestions would be much appreciated.
You will have to go into recovery and wipe the data and cache partition then reboot.
It may take a while to boot up after that.
Well I thought my solution was using IronRom... but i'm not too sure now.
I just got back from work and I went to turn on my tablet and it took me to the same loading screen and then after about 5 minutes it tells me that the system can't respond. It asks me to click "ok" or "wait" ... clicking either just turns my tablet off.
Now the screen has dimmed. It's turning on when it wants and sometimes it'll show me the time in the upper right hand corner, but it won't let me do anything because it's a black screen.
What does all of this mean?
I just noticed if I click the "power button" it just flashes my tablet desktop then goes back to black, but it shows me the battery percentage and the time in the upper right hand corner...
smt 800 stuck in logo
SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB S 10.5 WIFI WHAT IT CAN AND CANT DO
i HAD ROOTED AND INSTALLED LOLLIPOP 5.0 WITH SUPER SU AND TWRP RECOVERY.
I THEN TRIED TO ENCRYPT WHICH FAILED.
MY DEVICE SAID TO REBOOT SYSTEM AND THEN TRY TO ENCRYPT AGAIN. AFTER REBOOTING, MY DEVICE IS STUCK WITH (logo screen)THE SAMSUNG TAB S NAME AT THE TOP OF THE SCREEN AND ANDROID ON THE BOTTOM. I then rerooted with cf auto root thru odin. Odin and my tablet went thru the motions. When everything was complete and device should have initialize, but didn't. This part of the process didn't happen.
I am able to go into DOWNLOAD MODE and can get to manual mode, but I seem to have lost recovery. Here is the info.

the binary reads: samsung official

hi,
so i just got my s6 edge for sprint shipped to me (it wasn't activated to any service when i got it). here is the order of events i took:
1) tried to activate my service, but there was a delay in porting the #
2) while waiting for them to port it, i rooted it, installed twrp and a rom (this was when it was on 5.0.2)
3) they called and said they were ready to port, but the new rom didn't have the activation software in it. so i stalled them and said i would call back. i then reverted back to stock using odin.
4) got the number ported and was fine using the phone at that point.
5) this is where the day turned bad...... i didn't realize that coincidentally today, a new firmware was released to 5.1.1 and the phone auto-updated to it while i wasn't looking
6) i went to go re-root it using the same 5.02 root and now my phone is stuck. it's sitting on the "Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, Powered by Android" screen and in the top left in red it says "RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING"
7) i tried to restore it back to the stock using odin, but it errored in the download mode (i don't remember the error off hand)
i can get into download mode, and that's about it. i had to let the phone's battery die on it's own to turn it off (this phone gets super hot, btw)
so i guess what i need to know is how to restore back to factory default again, now that it thinks it's on 5.1.1. is there any hope?
I'm in the same boat as you, I think the only hope is to wait until the firmware is available to download and install it via Odin. Let me know if you've had any luck getting it up and running again. I had to switch back to my old phone for the time being.

check this post, download the tar and flash it in odin. it worked for my phone!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61650724&postcount=142
it got me into a recovery image that worked and i was able to factory reset in there. my phone is booting properly now. (after it reboots when done, it took a bit on the first title screen to do anything, just be patient)
Thanks man, that worked great. Although I found out in the process of trying to fix it the past few days, I must have flashed a non-compatible kernel because once it boots the touch screen is unresponsive. I guess I'll have to wait until the firmware download is available after all. Thanks again for the help though
