How To Unroot/Unbrick Galaxy S6! [All Variants]

I created a step-by-step guide video to unroot/unbrick the Galaxy S6!
Grab all the files and other needed information here: http://www.androidrootz.com/2015/05/how-to-unroot-galaxy-s6-and-s6-edge.html

I was instaled official XEF 6.0.1 on my rooted device S6 edge. But after pass on odin and after reboot on screen information some about drk , check drk. A found solution for that some file must flashing with odin and I was doing that. After instal and reboot phon was booting i working butt still is rooted. I cant check for official update a when i power on my phone in left court is message kernel is not Seandroid enforcing.
How to solve that problem and have unrooted phone?

HELPPPP i cant unroot s6 edge
So i bought a rooted(with odin) s6 edge from a guy. It is lollipop and i want to update it to marshmallow via ota. My settings show that the model is G925f. And baseband g925fxxu3coi9. But the phone info tells me it is g925p which is usa sprint and gives a different baseband g925pvpu3bol1 and download mode also shows g925p. G925f is international. Atleast i think so. I downloaded my country(pakistan's) 3 firmwares and 1 of uk too of g925f. I also downloaded sprint usa firmware. I have tried flashing all of these through odin. All give fails. I got three types of fails: serial com port error, NAND write start fail on my country and uk firmware and that device 3 binary 2 fail on sprint firmware.
Please help me what should i do? Should i get the motherboard replaced?

Your phone may be rooted or system status might have been modified
You have to flash stock ruu or rom to update from ota

[GUIDE] Unlocked Bootloader on H818!

Hi guys!
NOTE: I got to know that Marshmallow version of H818 is unrootable. Will be releasing new aboot patch for lollipop.
I got the aboot of Lollipop now. It will be patched and uploaded. Then you can root using your usual root method and then flash the patched aboot.

No more secure boot error!
I thank my friend @cerg2010cerg2010 for helping me out in patching the aboot.
ONLY FOR DEVELOPERS
This is the method I followed for K10. K10 has two qualcomm phones .i.e. K420DS & K420N. K420DS & K420N are identical except that K420DS has more RAM. I have the K420DS phone. I found a vulnerable version of firmware for K420N which is rootable and does'nt belong to my country. Got the aboot patched. I went on and flashed the aboot.
Result: It worked! I got into TWRP!
This is the method you need to follow too. Have Patience!
So there is no fool proof method that you will get bootloader unlocked on the firmware you expect it too. If you want to get bootloader unlocked get ready to take risks.

Did you downgrade to Lollipop version of Android?
You most probably would have flashed the wrong partition or the boot partition. Which partition did you flash?

Hi,
When i click on your link i can download this version H818P20g_00_1014.kdz
Or it's a Marshmallow version and not Lolillop version, is it not a problem? or perhaps i don't understand the step.
Thank you

Hmmm
My variant was H818P
My Rom Camuix4
And your answer is no boot logo no download mode no charging icon
Just when i press the power button it will vibrate very short
I sent phone to LG Service hope they won't find i changed something in my phone
I sent my phone to LG because of bootloop problem one week ago and they changed my mother board it was 510 and now is 611
Important things is i flashed this file twice
At first to mmcblk0c8(it was my typing fault)
At the second time to mmcblk0p8

How did you find out your aboot partition?
You should be careful on what you type out and which partition you flash on. It happened to me once. I flashed the patched aboot for my phone it was perfectly fine until I flashed( a wrong partition? ) a TWRP I built which bricked my phone. No download mode nothing. I sent it to repair. They repaired it for free.

The very first mistake you did is flash it over CamUIX 4 ROM. Did you follow the guide properly? I told you to downgrade to this. Then flash the aboot.

The guy who requested me for the patched aboot sent me the aboot file from H818P20g_00_1014. So download the KDZ I mentioned in the guide and then flash the aboot.

Don't come to conclusions mate. The guy who tried it and bricked his device has CamUIX 4 ROM installed. I explicitly mentioned in the guide to downgrade to the lower version of Android. I attached a link to the file too... It's not my mistake if people don't read the guide properly and blindly do things.

The firmware link you provides is marshmallow rom and its can't be rooted now.how to do your steps because the 1st one is wrong.

I can probably see right now, you've done it wrong... Download stock rom from huawei.consumer... For some reason i thought it's gonna be android MM, but it was android N, so no problem here, just download stock rom and you will have newest android.
You probably downloader rom from xda, rom it's in .zip right? And you tried to flash it with TWRP?

Yesterday I had this issue, it's more easy than it seems. In Revolution Recovery for Nougat, flash the update.app ZIP with 6.0 , it will show you a lot of errors, but don't worry, it's ok. After this flash than DUALSIMOEM.zip and after that shutdown your phone and use the 3 buttons method to automatically ,,update" to B161.

Thanx

If the label under the battery says sm-n9005 and download mode says sm-n900s, it appears that you have a "frankenphone" whereby the phone is put together with different parts from different models of the Note 3.
Is this the ROM you tried to flash: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-note3/SM-N900S/SKT/download/N900SKSU0GPI1/98062/ ?
Did you perform a factory reset after flashing the phone but before booting the phone for the first time?

If everything works on a stock ROM, you try flashing TWRP using Odin. This will allow you to backup the existing ROM and flash a custom ROM.
