Manual Upgrade from 5.0.2

As I didn't want to start a whole new thread about it because to me it seems like an issue that I might be too ignorant to find an answer to so here it is:

I have a S6 Edge

Model: SM-G925F

Baseband: G925FXXU1AOCW

but the thing is is that I bought the phone in Thailand and used it there for a while, then I could update it to 5.1.x, it got a black screen and I got a replacement a few days later (they resetted it to 5.0.2 for me) and then moved to Germany. Since then I did not received any kind of updates, no 5.1.x nothing and I am a little bit disappointed. My current carrier is T-Mobile if that's a parameter you could help me with.

Now that Marshmallow is on its way I would like to update to that (when it's available, but I can never know because I do not get any kind of updates, is it because I disabled some programs/apps?

If I want to upgrade, even to 5.1.x do I need to choose a Thailand Firmware or use a German/T-Mobile one, as I am not too sure and do not want to screw up I'd like a little help first.

It would be best to call customer care to know about updates/ ota

That way you would know what exactly will be released for ur phone.

Also try enabling the apps which you disabled and check....

I own an s6 edge (SM-G925S) korean version "SK Telecoms" but I live in the Philippines. It has Korean bloat apps in it that I can't delete. Can I change firmware from Korean version to international version (SM-G925F)? Will there be negative consequences and incompatibility issues with the Korean version hardware and the international version software? Thank you in advance
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
You can only run firmware for your device G925S. the G925F variant will not work. I've searched SMG925S on samfirm.com and all the firmware's are SK Telecoms. have you tried to just disable the bloat through app manager?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rondvila:
I did try to disable them but the disable button is deactivated for these apps. They are mostly SK telecoms proprietary apps. Anyway, thanks for the help. I just wanted to know if I can do something about the firmware, apparently there's none. Will I brick my device if try installing an inappropriate firmware?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
It won't let you flash a different models firmware you will just get error and a bricked phone. Or stuck in bootloop so will just have to flash stock again

Just to confirm: I have an G925I so I can't install ANYTHING from another 'letter' correct? It's really hard find a good ROM for 925i
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ollie01:
Hi all,

This must be a stupid question :p

What is the difference between the PIT & ROM FULL version and the STOCK version ? Is the ROM FULL a "pure" Android version without the touchwizz layer ?

I currently have a G925F with an Orange FR firmware. I'd like to update my EDGE with an "unbranded" firmware and I want to root my phone as well. Which of the FULL or STOCK would be the best for me ? I am not sure if this makes a difference, but I have a Gear S2 (maybe some of the features of the Gear don't fully work without the touchwizz ? I remember that removing some of the stock apps was disabling some weather features on the Gear Fit).

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilordvader:
yes
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
You can not remove touchwiz from your device. PIT is just needed to flash XEU over BTU. You can easily flash marshmallow firmware on your g925f, however if you root it will trip knox, warranty and Samsung pay will be tripped.

So basically you can't get pure stock android on your s6 edge you are stuck with touchwiz.

Search sammobile.com. and find the firmware for marshmallow for your g925f and flash with odin.

If you want to keep knox and Samsung pay don't attempt to root.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hybrid Soldier:
But I read in some places that the custom roms from the F are acceptable in I
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
Nope. You can only flash firmware for your model only. You will just get fail in odin
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ollie01:
Thanks a lot :good: I don't need knox nor Samsung pay so I will attempt to root.

Thanks, but is there a way to not trip KNOX (or can I reverse it somehow in the future)?

And I thought CF works on Android 5 at the moment, so It works on Android 6 as well right?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
What model do you have? It works for G925i and G925f.

As for reversing tripped knox it is impossible. Once tripped it trips Samsung pay and knox and can never be reversed.

There is a way to root without tripping knox there is a thread on here by Alex on how to do it if you search.

Hope this helps.

I just tested mine and got 15.02mb dl.

What I would suggest is either try to DL something connected to a different network and see if it faster. If it is the problem is with the connection. Or use mobile data. Again if it's faster it's your network but if it's the same try to reset network settings on your device then try again.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alireza_simkesh:
Just to recap for anyone else who might have similar questions in the future, my android version is 6.0.1 (Marshmallow) and I was not able to find out whether or not my bootloader was locked. But since it is 925F (international) model I assumed it is probably unlocked. So blindly, I used CF Auto root and followed the instructions. It took less than 10 minutes and now I have root access (but with stock recovery so far). The phone was on Samsung logo loop for a few times but apparently that is normal.

I confirm that KNOX is indeed tripped.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ludink:
I've had an issue getting my S6 Edge to work for the past few days now. Originally, my brother gave it to me so I could get BB Hub and other stuff on it. I gave it a whirl, and got it stuck in a bootloop naturally, after failing to get TWRP to work, because the screen on recovery was just a mess. So I tried using Flashify, and when it was rebooting, it just stuck at the boot page. I tried a whole bunch of stock roms, none of them worked, until I found one that did. After I flashed it using Odin, it just went back to staying at the boot page, same thing, except without the red text at the top. I can't for the life of me seem to get to the recovery doing the conventional Vol up, power and home button. I need to get this phone working again.. To repeat, main issue right now is getting to recovery so I can clear the cache and partition. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as it would save hundreds. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
You need to enter download mode and flash your firmware or stock ROM. Clearing cache and partition will likely not get you out of the bootloop.

Enter download mode and flash back to stock via odin is what I would do first.

Try that and keep me updated.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ludink:
I've actually flashed stock room nearly 15 times. The stock Rom, unlike 5 others I tried, actually works and goes through with Odin, but decides to still stay at the Samsung boot screen, won't even turn off, not allowing me to go to recovery. But last night I managed to get twrp on it, but still it's not working.

EDIT : Would I need to back up personal data first?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Garner:
You didn't need an unlock code from EE, flashing the BTU firmware will have still enabled you to use your simply card. The BTU and XEU firmware is basically unlocked so you can use any sim card, it's the same firmware that you will get if you get your device from the carphone warehouse etc. You will need to download an windows application called odin http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2711451 read very carefully all of the first post to get an idea on how to use it. Once you have read it and fully understand on what to do you will need to download the latest software for BTU, I wouldn't use the sammobile site to download it I'd use another windows application called samfirm http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647 again once you have read and understand that let me know then I'll guide you on what to do next.

I had exactly same as you from EE but I flashed this international BTU firmware and it works flawless.

One thing you will lose is wifi calling.

Flash this firmware through odin and you will be up on marshmallow.

I would back up your data but it should flash no problem with all data still there.
