Stuck in flashing samsung logo bootloop after factory reset. SM-G925 on a Macbook - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there, I hope you guys can help me. Here is the information I have, and thank you so much in advance for your help. Really hope someone will be able to help my stupid self. Haha.
SM-G925F
1.Your bootloader status if applicable - UNLOCKED
2. Rom name with complete baseband/date/version - NEMESIS NOUGAT STABLE S7E PORT V3.1 -
3. Kernel name - Linux 3.10.x
4. Any Mods you are using - None
5.If you are using Custom Rom, your flashing style i.e dirty/clean or you wiped anything else in specific - Flashed Nemesis after flashing another rom that used superSU, then attempted to restore superSU while still using the same rom. I believe this caused a bootloop and I factory wiped the phone to attempt to resolve the bootloop, which has been unsuccessful.
6. If you used any guide, link to the guide - N/A
7. Root status - ROOTED
8. Your exact problem - When attempting to power up the device, stuck in the flashing samsung logo screen. I am able to access both TWRP recovery screen and download screen, however TWRP does not recognise .tar.md5 files, so it seems I am unable to flash a recovery.
9. Any method you tried that failed - Factory wiping the device
10.Any other detail you think would be necessary - I believe am unable to use ODIN as I am using a Macbook, however I am attempting to use it via Parellel. I can still transfer zips to the sd card using the TWRP recovery. The download screen reads:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G925
CURRENT BINARY: CUSTOM
SYSTEM STATUS: CUSTOM
REACTIVATION LOCK: OFF
SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLED
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1 (0x030c)
RP SWREV: B:5 K:2 S:2

First thing... if it's just stuck on the glowing Samsung logo then it's not a bootloop. It can take a while to boot so leave it about 20 minutes.
TWRP won't recognise tar.md5 files as it doesn't flash them. It flashes .zips. Odin is the one to flash tar.md5.
TWRP is the recovery, so you can't flash a recovery through a recovery (twrp)
What I would try from here... power on the phone and leave it on the Samsung logo for a while and it should boot. If it doesn't then just reflash nemesis ROM through twrp and start again.

how to root samsung j5 (J500H) Build number(MMB29M.J500HXXU2BPK4) ?

Baseband version : J500HXXU2BPJ7
Region code : BNG
I tried and flash the cf-root(link: "https://download.chainfire.eu/818/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-j53g-j53gxx-smj500h.zip") file for j500h via odin and it showed "PASS" on odin but after that I found the following error :
Recovery is not Seandroid Enforcing
Warrenty Bit : recovery
The phone hangs showing those with samsung logo.
How I recovered from that : I flashed original stock firmware via odin and everything went ok .
Loss : knox void warranty tripped 0x1(4) :crying:
I tried kingroot, frameroot, iroot, ... (almost all apps without requiring pc) and all failed.
Now I want to root my phone as warranty has gone, any correct way ?
Yesterday I flashed TWRP recovery via odin successfully, then in TWRP I made system read only by clicking options and after that I flashed SuperSu.zip. Unfortunately, after that phone hangs showing samsung logo, needed to flash stock firmware twice to fix it. What's wrong ?
In download mode I found : Qualcomm secure boot : enabled

Can i install stock firmware or a custom rom if my device has no recovery?

I have a galaxy S8 SM-G950U from T-Mobile while trying to install stock firmware on my device, my device received an error. Currently my device does not boot into safemode, recovery, or the os. It only boots into download mode. I tried to do an Emergency software recovery but smart switch does not support my device. I need help. I do not know what to do. My device’s warranty is still valid.

You can use the latest Odin 3.13 and download your firmware from sammobile.com and load it from download mode

I really need help

Hi, today I was more than seven hours on PCr and tried this....unsuccessfully... I'm really desperate
I have:
-Xperia Z2 (D6503)
-Android 6.0.1
-newest firmware 23.5.A.1.291
-UNlocked bootloader
I am trying to install root, twrp recovery and custom ROM ( specifically this ROM ). But i cannot enter to the recovery mode...
Official twrp-3.0.2-0 succesfully flashed in fastboot but when i try command "fastboot reboot recovery" the mobile only load android and turns on normally... the combination hardware buttons also do not work.
The next question is, What is a kernel ? I have successfully installed this kernel .... Could this be the reason why I can't load the recover mode?
Please help me, I don't know what to do anymore :crying: all I want is root and custom rom
EDIT: okay, i successfully root phone and finally i have access to recovery mode (TWRP 3.0.2-0) by THIS TUTORIAL now i need help with installing the custom ROM step-by-step because if I turn something wrong and phone will be bricked again, I guess I'll kill myself xD so What is next step for install custom ROM please ? Can I just download THIS, install the zip in TWRP and that´s all ???
Yup you can install it by recovery steps:

before you do this you should backup all your important data
1-wipe data factory reset
2- wipe cache
3- install zip rom
4- download google apps and install it by recovery it should be a zip file
5-repot system and enjoy
the recovery is like twrp or cwm it's not a kernel
there is 2 type of kernel :
1-kernel itself
2-kernel with merged recovery
about the kernel and recovery, there is deference the kernel is very important for system to work it connects between the hardware and the software and every operating system has its own kernel but here in android they sometimes merge kernel with recovery but when you flash-kernel or recovery every one replace each other be careful and know that, don't worry you won't brick something in the near future when you will install custom ROMs you will notice that.
if you need any help you can ask me

Having encrypted device and root, is it possible with Android Galaxy A8 (SM-A530F)?

So I have rooted my Android Galaxy A8 (SM-A530F) Android version 9. To do this I used TWRP to install RMM_Bypass_v3_corsicanu.zip, no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip-6.0 and Magisk-v19.3.zip. Everything works fine, but I cannot encrypt the device! I have also tried the fast encryption option with no luck.
I tried a couple of suggestions from the following forum post https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/guide-how-to-root-device-encryption-t3742493?nocache=1 namely where it says:
- Flash the stock book.img back in Odin and apply no-verity-opt-encrypt in TWRP. Use 7-Zip to create a tar only containing the stock BOOT.IMG and flash it in Odin using the AP slot.
- Flash back a TWRP backup taken of the boot partition before installing a root ROM, but after flashing no-verity-opt-encrypt.
After following the two options listed above the phone just un-roots!
I have also tried to shuffle the order in which the three zip files(mentioned earlier) are installed via TWRP with no success.
Does anyone know of any other solutions to having both encryption with root? Are there other better ways to root the phone that might enable encryption?
Grateful for any help, thanks.

HELP Is it possible to flash combination rom in twrp?

My phone has screen issue its stuck on logo. I can't flash combination because of the new security Samsung created. I get the message please get approval to use factory binary(PIT)
I have unlocked bootloader and twrp installed, Is there a way to extract the files from the combination rom and create flashable zip to flash that via TWRP?
My Phone is Samsung Galaxy M31S running latest U3 stock rom. Twrp can be installed easily but after the system is booted and If I restart it shut it down I get only official binary are allowed to be flashed. Screen works and is not stuck in twrp but when it boots to system its stuck at first logo/unlocked bootloader screen.
Thanks!
