Reason for this error is during the previous flash it upgraded the bootloader to 5.11 and now it is refusing to go back to an older version. You cannot flash 5.0.1 bootloader again. You have to stay with Android 5.11

Then I tried Samsung Smart Switch and it managed to recover the phone from Soft brick and complete Android 5.1.1 installation and it it boots file.

As a another solution, You can

1. Download the tar.md5 file.
2. Rename the file back to tar and extract
3. Delete  hidden.img
4. Download this toolkit http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/orig-development/toolkit-skipsoft-android-toolkit-galaxy-t3101195
5. Make your own firmware
6. Flash

    1. You should be able to flash Amdroid 6.0 or newer versions without a problem
