I odined the eng boot.img without thinking about backing up first and now stuck on tmobile screen during boot up. Is it possible to flash a stock boot to get back in or reflash whole software without it wiping all of my data?

Try going into the stock recovery and wiping your data. It should boot but it will also wipe your phone. It sounds like you need to use Odin to flash the stock firmware. It will also wipe your data if you do that.

Original software. APB6 I think its called. Also if I do end up having to wiping(which I hope I wont need to) should I update to latest firmware?
Download your original firmware from Sammobile.
Then you can try to extract the AP file. Then extract the boot.img file from that.
Then you can try this script to convert the boot.img to an md5 file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446269
THEN try to flash it via odin.
Here's the boot.img from the PD8 file converted to a tar.md5 file. Might work. Guess you don't have anything to lose.
(Unzip it first obviously)

Expected as much. To to update your firmware. Seriously. Why not? PD8 is rootable and you won't be able to update after you root.

TWRP is not compatible with our devices, you need to use SafeStrap. Here is a link to the files you'll need.

Yes, it will wipe everything. If you're soft bricked it's going to be the only way to recover from it.

I'm not 100% sure on that.
Edit: Pull the recovery.img and convert it to a .tar.md5 file then you can flash it.
Short story: I need a TouchWiz ROM that I can flash from TWRP that won't re-lock my bootloader or touch the TWRP partition. What's the best one to use?
Longer story: I have SM-G900V running CM 13 that is currently unable to get a GPS lock unless airplane mode is enabled. So far I've been told the only fix for this is (high level instructions):
Nandroid backup of CM 13
Flash TouchWiz ROM
Get GPS lock in TouchWiz ROM
Restore CM 13 nandroid backup
Some of the troubleshooting steps involve root, hence the need for a rooted ROM. Can anyone help?
Download a full stock tar for your device and open it with winrar. Give me a screenshot of all the files inside (aboot, system, etc...)

Extract system.img.ext4, boot.img, modem.bin, NON-HLOS.bin, into a new folder on your desktop. Then use 7-Zip to make it all into a tar archive. Then flash that using Odin.
This is the PB1 firmware - so you will be on TW 5.0 after flashing it. If you want to be on TW MM, I can help with that too if you like
Thanks so much. And yes, how do I go about doing that for TW MM?
I've since realized that that .tar isn't rooted. Can anyone point me to a rooted TW ROM I could do this with?

Actually I used the Lollipop build as the instructions were much simpler. But I'll try to wipe from recovery and reflashing TW again and see if that works. Failing that, probably going to have to clean install CM and then restore apps using TB update.zip in recovery. Why is everything in mobile so godd*mn hard ...
Got everything working again! Thanks so much for your help!!!
My s7 edge got stuck at boot screen so i reflashed stock rom and rerooted then restored the backup i had, it said fail because of low memory while restoring the system and now when i try to reflash the stock rom on odin it says model dismatch fail.
If someone could help me fix this I'm willing to pay something decent, but not a whole lot lol
Re-download the stock rom and flash it

i did that lol thats when it says "model dismatch fail"
Do you have custom recovery?
Do you have a custom recovery?
Do you have the right and the newest Odin Version?
Did you try it with another transfercable or USB-Port?
Do you have the newest samsung drivers?
Did you have any Odin problems like this before?
My suggestion:
Just do a full wipe on your phone. Downlad the newest Odin Version. Get your device into download mode (maybe try different transfercables or USB Ports and the newest samsung drivers) and see if it works now.
If yes, flash the right Bootloader and Modem for your device and then flash the rom you wanted to flash.
If this didnt work, (and you have a custom recovery) try to reinstall the rom without any backups via the recovery at first and check afterwards, if the device is now recognized by Odin.
Good luck

I guess you still have twrp installed.
1. Step: go to TWRP and wipe everything except your SD-Card
2. Step: enter download mode on your device and then plug your usb in (maybe try a different usb-port or even another computer, or another usb cable)
3. Step:Flash the newest bootloader & modem in one step.
4. Step: Enter TWRP again and flash the firmware.zip via the installation process
I dont have TWRP, but i got it fixed, somehow my roomate got it, thanks anyways guys
So all he got was my phone to turn on, im still having this model dismatch fail issue..
Maybe You're trying to flash wrong firmware? What model did You buy?(check box) and what firmware did You download?
If nothing works then download 7zip. And remove all files from that tar.md5 file and leave system.img only. And then try reflashing it.
This way no matter what device You connect it should force flash this image file. Although it might be dangerous (a tiny little bit) so first make sure that You have proper firmware for Your model.

Yes, I've used these files multiple times before i did what i did, ill give that a try, if it works, i owe you.
If system.img by itself will flash successfully and Your phone won't boot then add slowly more files to that tar file (boot.img, recovery.img etc)
You could also try looking for a pit file for Your phone and then flash it with it. Pit file usually fixes most problems even broken partitions.
And make sure that You put that tar file in AP/PDA.
If nothing above works then send me screenshots of ODIN and the file that You're trying to flash. Maybe I'll notice something. But I hope You'll fix it

Hi,
My phone is softbricked so I've to recover my files. For that reason, I'm trying to flash exact same software with HOME_CSC file. But It fails at hidden.img, what should I do for that? The important point is that I need my files so I shouldn't wipe the data.

Does anyone have any idea?

imho easiest way is flashing stock ROM via Odin or Heimdall.
Done it (with Odin) several times on different devices.
Get stock ROM using samfirm_reborn
It loads firmwares directly from Samsungs servers if they are stored there.
(not for all available).
Fill in device name and region (look them up here: https://samfrew.com/)
Check "binary nature" and "decryption".
Results in one zip file to extract the files for Odin of which you should use latest.

Alright! I also found you could go into download Mode when the bootloader is unlocked, long-press to access Device unlock, then press Volume Up (I think) to re-lock the bootloader.

may be, but I don't own the device.
And as you wrote "fresh system" I thought it's safer my way than re-locking plus a factory reset which may leave traces of your data.

May I ask a bit more info here? I want to do something similar: flash stock ROM via Heimdall and relock bootloader. So, I am thinking of downloading a zip from here:
https://samfrew.com/download/Galaxy__Tab__S6__Lite__-Wi-Fi-__/mn97/BTU/P610XXU2FWA5/P610OXM2FWA5/
and then try to flash it using Heimdall. Will this work? What command should I use (Linux user). I have only flashed lineage recovery through Heimdall, so I am not all that sure. Or could I just flash the whole zip through lineahe recovery and be done with it?
Also, to make sure: flashing the stock rom will automatically lock the bootloader? Do I not have to do anything else? I should at least format data, etc, right?

Flashing a stock ROM via Heimdall works, BUT you will flash stock recovery aa well so your thought at the end (flash with custom recovery) will not work.

Gotta have a look at the file.
If it doesn't consist of several tar.md5 files it's no use as you have to open them to extract needed files for Heimdall (needs more than Odin).

Heimdall on Linux has a GUI frontend you just have to open via terminal.

No. Flashing stock replaces all.
Try if you get Odin to run on Wine.
Makes it a lot easier imo.

There are four files with names:
AP_P610XXU2FWA5_QB61306304_REV00_user_low_ship_meta_OS13.tar.md5
BL_P610XXU2FWA5_QB61306304_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
CSC_OXM_P610OXM2FWA5_QB61306304_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
HOME_CSC_OXM_P610OXM2FWA5_QB61306304_REV00_user_low_ship.tar.md5
Are these what they are supposed to be? And what does one do - flash all four one by one?
@coxackie So that is a multiple part stock ROM file. That's good.
In Odin only AP, BL and CSC needed to make a clean return to stock.
For Heimdall afaik you gotta extract certain files from these (tar.md5 are just archive files).
Which ones to extract? Idk.
Never did myself as I only flashed TWRP as said above.
Google will be your savier.
