G925F does not start anymore - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

During sending an SMS my phone hangs, and does not start anymore.
The phone is rooted. I tried to start recovery but nothing happens (Vol UP + Home + Power Key).
Odin is working by VOL Down + Home + Power Key, so i tried to flashTWRP recovery (https://dl.twrp.me/zerolte/twrp-3.0.2-0-zerolte.img.tar.html)
Which has worked:
<ID:0/005> Added!!
<ID:0/005> Odin engine v(ID:3.1005)..
<ID:0/005> File analysis..
<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/005> Initialzation..
<ID:0/005> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/005> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/005> SingleDownload.
<ID:0/005> recovery.img
<ID:0/005> NAND Write Start!!
<ID:0/005> RQT_CLOSE !!
<ID:0/005> RES OK !!
<ID:0/005> Removed!!
<ID:0/005> Remain Port .... 0
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)
But I can still not start into Recovery(?)
I think the next steps is to try a full flash of complete image, right?
But can i download/backup some files from the phone without recovery, I don't want to loos all my data (if possible)
Are there any other procedures to try?
Best regards,
Tom

Now, I tried Smart Switch with recover option -> no success ;( Stuck on Samsung boot logo.
I think I need a new phone (any help?)

You can't backup anything without the phone on or recovery.
Try hold only POWER + VOL DOWN ONLY nothing else. This should force safe mode. If this doesn't boot up hold power and vol down again until it goes off then quickly switch to recovery mode combination. If this won't boot to recovery next thing is to flash stock firmware. But you will lose all data and it will flash a new recovery image.
What model is it and what region?

Thanks for your tips, unfortunatly it does not work -> Save mode also stuck on boot screen.
I also tried to flash stock firmware (G925FXXS4DPIF_G925FVFG4DPHB_G925FXXS4DPIF_HOME.tar) -> Same issue
Model: International Version: SM-G925F
Should I try to flash a new bootloader? Which one? What's about my EFS Backup?

Try to download and flash this.
I don't think you will be able to get any data off the phone now. But if you flash the firmware i just posed it should work.
Try twrp again and make backup of efs

I fear the worst... still no look to boot into recovery, after flashing the provided firmeware and installing twrp again.
I think its a hardware fault (ram/memory issue)

Of course, flashed G925FXXS4DPJ2_G925FBTU4DPH1_G925FXXS4DPI9_HOME.tar with Odin3_v3.12.3 in "AP Mode" and default settings.
No errors in log - the phone reboots automatically after flashing, stops at

Samsung
Galaxy
S6 edge
POWERED BY
android
boot logo
Phone is since to ours in this state, I can't even shut down the phone. Only reboot with "Vol Down + Power" or "Vol Down + Home + Power" works (till to the next reboot halting at boot logo)

Try the same firmware again with this PIT file
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzyeAt2hy6XeaXhVSUlGYTNobE0/view
In odin insert the PIT into pit and check repartition. Try that

It just rebuilds the partitions. Try it to see if it works. Just put the firmware into AP and put the PIT into pit. Check f reset time, auto reboot and repartition.
