Root Can't flash anything on my Galaxy S6 G920F

I couldn't remove my samsung account, so I deleted it, but I still had to confirm my password but I got an proecessing failed error.
So I installed a rom which didn't help either. I wanted to install 5.1.1 but the bootloader version didn't allow it, so I got one with 4 partitons (BL, AP, CP, CSC) and just left out the BL for bootloader. I got stuck on the samsung logo, so I tried to install any other rom but I get hidden.img error or cm.bin FAILED and on the device it shows up "Device: 4 Binary: 3" and I cannot flash twrp because its blocked by R/L.

Thanks in advice!

You may need to flash back the original firmware version for the other partitions that are the same version as the bootloader. The bootloader is not allowing you to go back to lollipop because it sounds to me that the bootloader has some rollback protection and won't allow to downgrade. Either use a same version or newer firmware tar file than your bootloader version. Odin may fail at this point because the persistent binary error. You can try Samsung's smart switch http://www.samsung.com/us/smart-switch/ , this is sort of like Odin except it'll only flash the latest firmware and you won't need to search for it. You'll also need you device's S/N and device model (SM-G920F). You can get your s/N by booting back into bootloader option and press home instead of volume up to continue to bootloader/download mode.
 
The s/n is on the back of the device also. I tried it with SmartSwitch but an error came. I don't know what it said exacly. I think something like unable to flash or something.

Are you sure that wasn't the imei number? mine has only the imei on the back of the g920t model.
 
With Some versions like 5.1.1 I get this binary error which is caused by the rollback protection. But when I try to flash a 6.0.1 rom I get hidden.img fail or this binary thing.

I think this had better go to the Galaxy S6 (Root) section, as I believe you're going to need specialist advice with this. :(

My problem is fixed, at least the one that can be fixed, so this thread can be closed I guess. But I don't know how?
