hey guys im sorry if i post this on the wrong section but i followed this tutorial: droidviews(dot)com/root-galaxy-s6-and-s6-edge-on-android-6-0-1-marshmallow-update/ to root my s6 edge+ and it went black... after some research i found out the tutorial wasnt for my device(SM-G2928F) so i flashed it with cf-autoroot and then it boot looped for like an hour. I downloaded the original greek firmware from sammobile but it brings me up this error: SECURE CHECK FAIL : (BOOTLOADER).. any help? :(
 
I'm getting the same error. Did you resolve your issue?

Galaxy s6 Edge+
Dr Ketan ROM G928
Android 5.1.1
Baseband version G928TUVU2COJ5
Build number Dr.Ketan_L1.G928IDVU1AOH2
Model number SM-G928I
Actual Model number printed on phone SM-G928T

What I've tried:
Odin3 flash of G928IDVU1AOH2_G928INZC1AOH2_G928IDVU1AOH2_HOME.tar.md5
Resulting in Odin3 SecureCheck Fail (Bootloader)
I've tried new cables, reran Odin several times with the same result.

Smart Switch recognizes the phone,but says noupdate available/

Kies does not recognize device.

Any help would be appreciated!

I downloaded a new firmware update that matches the original phone model, before the ROM was placed on the phone. G928TUVU1BOH4_G928TTMB1BOH4_G928TUVU1BOH4_HOME.tar.md5
Results in Odin3 error SW Rev. Check Fail. Device:2 Binary:1

Not sure what else to try?
