I've been to the similar threads, I swear. I've done my due diligence here, and would like some advice.
The phone (Samsung S6 Edge-SM-G925T) was rooted, as you might expect, and was functioning normally. USB debugging should still be on, but I'm fairly sure OEM unlock is off.
I rebooted it this morning because it was a little sluggish, and the FRP tripped. I thought this odd, because i'd had no problems up to this point. Perhaps there was an OTA update?
Anyway,
I can enter recovery, but both flash from ADB and SD are unavailable, and the factory and cache resets there are of no help.
I can enter ODIN download mode:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G925T
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM
FRP LOCK : ON
SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLED
KNOX WARRANTY VOID : 1 (0x0500)
RP SWREV: B:3 K:2 S:2
Attempting to flash the factory ROM fails right from the get/go in ODIN.
Samsung SmartSwitch spins it's wheels for awhile, hanging between 0-5%
Am I SOL here?
Cheers.
This is certainly odd. This problem happened to me too on June 24, just about a few weeks after my warranty ended. I was using my camera and then my phone suddenly rebooted and now I can only enter download mode. Even if I successfully flash a firmware using ODIN or Smart Switch, it hangs at the boot screen and I cannot even enter recovery mode. I would like to hear ideas about how we can fix this issue as well.

hey guys this is my first post. Really kind of freaking out about this phone. I successfully rooted the phone originally using the Towelroot one-click method. I then installed the necessary apps and .apks and tried to install a recovery via ClockworkMod and also with SafeStrap. When I did so it asked me to reboot, which having rooted plenty of phones before, using other methods, i thought piece of cake. Well the phone rebooted and rebooted into a recovery boot loop. I was finally able to get the phone into download mode and tried to flash some stock firmware to hopefully get out of this jam and be done with the whole mess. No dice, pulled battery and unplugged the cable. The phone now says when I turn it on
ODIN MODE
Product Name: SM-N900T
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0X0
KNOX WARRANTY 0X1
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)
RP SWREV: S2, T2, R2, A3, P2
WRITE PROTECTION: ENABLE
it then says Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again. But I cannot connect this phone to the PC via Kies 3 as my device 'is not supported' But i am able to boot into download mode and try to flash stuff. However when I flash anything via ODIN it fails in different areas such as AUTH (fail) and in a host of other ways. I cannot successfully flash anything. This phone is apparently a brick and I have NO IDEA what to do. This phone has no warranty either... I have no idea what to do has anyone gotten this problem solved??
it now says UDC START
I think the problem occurred because you installed two recovery modes. Safestrap and clockworkmod. Also Safestrap doesn't work well on T Mobile Note 3's. Only success I've seen with Verizon and At&t variants. Furthermore warranty wouldn't do you any justice since you tripped knox 0x1. Try pulling out the battery waiting a couple minutes. Make sure your battery has at least 50% juice. Use a genuine Samsung wire when you're flash with Odin if you haven't done so already. Uninstall your old drivers on your pc and reinstall the kies drivers. Get into download mode and flash the stock Samsung Note 3 T Mobile with your current android firmware.

Hello all,
I rooted my G925T device 1-2 weeks ago (SUPERSu?) and haven't had any major problems. Yesterday my phone died and while charging, I turned it back on only to get stuck on the T-mobile screen. I tried most everything including using Odin to reset to stock 5.1.1 firmware but I am getting a FAILED response (can't open the serial(com) port).
Some notes (not sure if relevant):
-90% sure my SuperSU was not enabled when my phone died and this started happening
-Pretty sure I unchecked the USB Debugging right after I rooted
-I wiped all my data from the recovery mode
Any help, tips, suggestions? THANKS!

Try this. Smart Switch usually can fix your boot loops. Be warned though you will lose everything on the phone. It will be reset to like you got it from the store. Except with the latest firmware.
can be deleted

The Emergency Recovery Smart Switch method worked!
I was able to find my s/n when I selected to view the barcode before going into download mode.
I thought s/n would be IMEI but its not.

I was just about to tell you that you need to press Home button to see S/N before you press Vol-Up. Glad you got it worked out. Please hit the thanks button if I helped you out.
So guys, bought this phone used 3 days ago. The phone was rooted and the fingerprint scanner was not working giving some error. So I decided to get the phone returned back to stock.
I flashed the G925TUVU3DOJ7_G925TTMB3DOJ7_G925TUVU3DOJ7_HOME.tar file via odin 3.10.6. All files were successfully flashed with pass message but now i am stuck on the boot screen at s6 edge logo. I did a factory reset and wiped the cache but no luck.
The recovery shows an error of dm-verity verification failed... as well in the bottom. I can get the phone in download mode. The current binary is samsung official but in system status it still says Custom. I tried flashing G925TUVU2COF6_G925TTMB2COF6_G925TUVU2COF6_HOME.tar but it doesn't let me flash it as I read i cannot downgrade.
I have tried searching at different places but couldn't seem to find any appropriate solution as most of them are for cof6 or cof8 firmware. I would appreciate a lot if someone could guide me step-by-step procedure to get my phone working back.
Note: I think that the phone IMEI was also repaired as the IMEI on back glass and in the system does not match.
I also cannot get any assistance from t-mobile as I live in Pakistan. I could not attach shots as i have less than 10 posts so writing the status:
In download mode:

Recovery error at the bottom:

Need to check DRK first. . .
It sounds like there may be an issue with your IMEI. I think you should try and use Smart Switch on your PC to do an emergency recovery. It will completely wipe the phone and reset everything to how it should be.
Emergency recovery requires the serial number in order to proceed. You can get that by going into Download mode but before you hit Vol Up to continue hit Home instead. It will show IMEI and Serial Number (the bottom number).
Samsung Smart Switch for PC can be downloaded from Here. Install Smart Switch. Start up Smart Switch and click more in upper right corner. If you don't have the Samsung drivers installed you can install them from here. Or if you would like to reinstall them.
After you are done with drivers connect your phone to the PC and click more and click "Emergency software recovery and initialization" (the first option). It should ask for your serial number. enter it and it should start doing it's thing.
Hopefully this works for you and good luck.
Thanks for the fast reply. I flashed it using the smart switch software. The program completed successfully but still the same result. Stuck at boot logo and same dm-verity error in recovery
DM Verity Verification failed

Hello , if you still facing this issue after flash full stock
try to write unikernel v8-002 (remember FRP LOCK = OFF )
It must work ,
i am sure after flash Unikernel is will work
post result if not work
Thanks alot @jayshaa. Finally booted up... Hats off to you man...!! :good:
Sorry to disturb again... Today when I restart the phone, I couldn't pass the boot screen as I gave me the error Custom Binary blocked by FRP Lock. Frp lock turned on automatically and now I am again stuck at the boot screen. I again flashed the stock rom but the frp lock is still on. I couldn't flash the kernal as well because of this lock.
Someone please guide me to turn this frp lock off and get my phone working again.
Need to check DRK first. .
This error means at some point your efs probably was wiped meaning the drk was wiped... unless this is fixed the phone will boot loop everytime you update unless you flash a modified kernel...
So how do I fix that or turn frp lock off?
Anyone???

That can only be turned off via Developer Options in Settings. If you flashed a custom kernel then you cannot turn it off because you will boot loop. You must flash stock kernel. Or just reflash the stock firmware package.
After you get back to stock. get to developer options and turn off the FRP lock. Then you can flash away.

I tried to factory reset my phone from the settings (wrong way apparently and soft-bricked it).
It was originally giving me the "/data" folder error when rebooting into recovery.
I just solved that by repartitoning and flashing with Odin and then resetting the cache and factory resetting in the recovery menu. However, the phone still won't boot past the second Samsung screen.
I'm at a loss. I can still get into recovery and download modes but don't know where to go from here.
EDIT: Information in download mode:
>ODIN MODE
>PRODUCT NAME: SGH-T999
>CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: No
>CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
>SYSTEM STATUS: Official
>QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
>Warranty Bit: 1
>BOOTLOADER AP SWREV: 1
Additional edit:
Flashing it again with Odin fixed it.
Finally. Sorry, guess this was a bit premature - though I'd spent two days on it -_-
Hi,
I am facing boot loop issue on my N7100 from the time since I updated software.
My Note II motherboard went dead a long time ago so I thought to buy a new motherboard(International Version) from China which I received yesterday. I was able to install the board successfully, phone started working in normal condition, I was really Happy. Very soon, new software update popups started appearing which I decided to install one by one. Initial were some patches, then a big update came for around 800Mb which was for addition of KNOX and other features. The download was completed successfully & and I tried to Install it.
After the installation my phone went into boot loop. The Samsung logo comes and disappears and the cycle goes on.
> I am not able to get phone in recovery mode ( Vol Up+Home+Power).
> Yes, I am able to get phone in download mode (Vol Down+Home+Power).
Following is the status in download mode:
Product Name: GT-N7100
Custom Binary Download: No
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
Knox Warranty Void: 0
AP SWREV: A2
I did try to re-install ROM using ODIN but failed.
ROM Link : https://www.needrom.com/server/download.php?name=/2017/09/KSA-N7100XXUFNL1-20150518112800.zip
Currently,
a) I don't know the details of motherboard ( S/N, Country Origin, PDA Number, CSC Number ).
b) Developer options were not enabled while phone was in working condition.
c) Tried my best to restore ROM but failed.
I need support to make this phone functional again. I need to know whether the board has gone faulty or can be repaired using software stuff?
Earliest response will be highly appreciated.
Thankyou so much!
Regards
Nikhil
Did you try to flash any non-Samsung software via Odin? I ask because I see the word "custom" in download mode.
What happens when you try to boot into recovery? What happens when you try to flash a stock ROM?
Try flashing a stock recovery from sammobile.com or updato.com.
