Unable to boot my S7 Edge

Hi, my phone has a problem. After I tried CM13 I restored my backup via TWRP, but when I try to boot the device, it requires a password that I've never used in a black screen. I've tried factory reset many times, but nothing. Can you help me please? Thanks!

I noticed that I can't flash nothing with TWRP, it says that can't mount data. Is it an encryption problem?

You havre to format data and not in advanced wipe. You'll lose all data but that's what you have to do

You don't need to flash a pit file at all just flash the stock Rom
You might have to unzip it and place the four files in the respective slots BL CSC AP and CP
Go in developer options first and make sure OEM and debugging is checked.

It's no big deal. Just Put the ROM in internal storage and then flash.

I didn't get any of that. But, I think you should boot into twrp and then has to activate mtp storage option in the advanced menu tab.

Try connecting your phone to your pc,mount your sd card via philz and format it from there.Then try copying another rom from pc to sdcard.

Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900 Stuck At Samsung Logo!

Hi, Guys! I've a galaxy note 3 that has stuck at samsung logo! I was charging it while being turned off, I turned it on in the morning and it seems that it can't boot up and pass samsung logo.
The problem is that I've some important data on the device itself not on the SD card.
what should I do? I thought about flashing a new rom but that would destroy all of my data that stored on the device, right?
any workaround do you suggest?

@JJEgan,
Hey, buddy! I don't care if I lost my apps and settings, all what I need is my pictures, videos, documents and downloads.
so should I just flash a new rom without wiping the internal storage? would that fix the problem?

Flashing a new rom may wipe all or some of your data .

Corrupt filesystem - only able to boot from external SD card

So I have a Samsung Galaxy J5 SM-J500F which suddenly refused to boot in any way (normal, recovery, download). I booted TWRP from external SD card but it shows Internal Storage (0 MB). Can't mount or do anything. Is there something to do or is it a hardware issue?

In Odin try to flash different versions of the stock firmware its the only way to restore it.

I can't. Everything that I am flashing through Odin goes into the external SD card. For the example, tried to flash TWRP and it flashed onto the external SD card. And I cannot go into download mode without the external SD card. Trying to remove it before pressing volume up to confirm makes Odin say no PIT file found and when I flash the PIT it gives error.

The only way to restore the phone is by flashing stock firmware in odin.
Twrp and everything else will go to the SD card only the stock firmware will flash to the phone.
Enter download mode WITH the SD card in and go through the steps on Odin to flash stock firmware and absolutely nothing else, no twrp, no custom firmware it has to be 100% pure stock rom or it will flash to the SD card and not internal storage.
Stock firmware contains the necessary PIT files and everything so don't try flashing different PIT files.
This is the only method to restore the device

I understand, but for example if I have TWRP on SD card then I flash via Odin, it hangs at system.img.ext4 (left it over 15 hours). Before system it flashes recovery so I disconnected after 15 hours just to find out the SD card had the stock recovery.

Dont put twrp on the SD card.
Boot into download and just flash stock.
Once the device is restored do what you want and install twrp and whatever you want but don't do it at the start.
You wont be able to restore unless everything is stock

Thats strange.
You're sure its not hardware related?
The only thing I can think of now is to try with different versions of the stock rom (different country firmware)
Like you came this far we must be able to fix it.
Im going to do a bit of reading about the issue now and see if there is anything you can try

I don't know. This is the story of how it got bricked:
Powered it on some days ago and it showed the Samsung logo with the "odin mode" text in the top-left corner. I thought I accidentally entered download mode so I held down volume down+power until the screen turned black. And after that it didn't boot at all until I managed to make this bootable SD card.
What I find strange is that Odin keeps flashing on my SD card instead of the internal storage. If I enter download mode then remove the SD card and try to flash via Odin it complains that no PIT partition was found. If I have TWRP installed on the SD card, download mode says "CURRENT BINARY: Custom" but as soon as I try to flash via Odin the official recovery.img (it flashes before it hangs at system.img.ext4) and restart the phone it says "CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official". Also if I power it on from the SD card normally or in recovery it shows the blue screen that wants me to connect to Smart Switch but the app does not recognize the phone.
Another thing is that if I reboot into download mode with the SD card but only press power up to confirm after I remove the SD card the first thing to show in the top-left corner is "ddi: mmc_read_failed" and if I try to flash with Odin, Odin says no PIT partition found and the phone shows in the top-left corner the last line as "ODIN : flash read failure".
If I power it on without the SD card it doesn't do anything, not even vibrate.

Can you wipe or reset again using Samsung Smart Switch or Kies? Or maybe you can try to install new os from there... Meanwhile We will check something else to solve this

Navigate to Wipe > Advance Wipe > Data, and choose Repair or Change File System.Press Repair File System to see if this fixes the issue. If not, continue.Press Change File System, choose Ext2, and swipe to confirm.Now switch back to Ext4 and swipe to confirm.Go back to TWRP main menu, then the Mount menu, and check if your partitions can be mounted now.
These actions r possible?
