ok, I tried to flash a theme for twrp and it messed up my imei and baseband. I have been trying to restore for 2 Days now with no luck. WIth Odin every time I try to reflash firmware it gets to sboot and fails. I have tried different cords, different firmwares, different ports, HELP PLEASE, NO I DO NOT HAVE A BACK UP> I read that you could restore them by just flashing firmware. Is this true?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] callumbr1:
sboot.bin means your flashing a lower bootloader. Flash a firmware with a newer bootloader and it should flash fine

Question, when I updated to 6.0.1 my LED indicator isn't working anymore when I receive text messages even when LED indicator is turned on in the settings. I do not know if updating was the root cause. My LED works fine when I'm charging the only problem is when I receive notifications.

I have an S6 Edge SM-G925W8 on Telus that was working fine, then turned itself off overnight and was flashing the charge indicator. After removing it from the charger, the red charging LED remained lit but the phone would not boot. It shows the Galaxy S6 Edge screen, then reboots. I cannot access recovery, but I can access download mode.

I left it on in download mode and it turned itself off, also the red charging led went out. Now however when you plug it in, it starts boot looping again, but no charging LED. If you unplug it, it turns itself off.

I tried to flash the stock rom via ODIN and it says successful, but afterwards it goes into the boot loop again, and still will not access recovery.

Anyone have any ideas?

I just picked up an SM-G925T running 6.0.1 and would like to root and install TWRP. The build number is G925TUVS4EPH2 which is fairly recent, and it's not clear to me what procedure works and what doesn't. It looks like from a previous answer that CF-auto-root doesn't need to match the build number and should still work, correct?

As far as installing TWRP, I was looking at some old posts which said that only arter97's version of TWRP works for this phone, otherwise there would be a bootloop or freeze. Is this still true, or was that fixed by a later TWRP update? There was also another issue about dm-verify causing a boot loop, so it requires a custom kernel or ROM to prevent this, or does using flashing SuperSU fix this?

Any clarification would be really appreciated. Not much info out there since early last year and after hours of reading, I'm still having a really hard time figuring out what will work for me, I'm afraid of bricking my phone. Haven't rooted a phone since a couple years ago.

Update: I figured it out.

Used the procedure here (and TWRP link) to install TWRP

Hello everyone i got a question, so i tried to root my S6 edge 7.0 with odin and it did not work.

Here is what happens:

Open Odin as admin

Download the software (twrp recovery)

The latest versions

I put the phone in to Odin download mode

Make sure that i un ticked the auto reboot thing and have the usb debugging ticked

I connected the phone with oem usb and press start, then it just stops and doesn't reboot

But on pc it says that it didnt fail that it successfully finished.

But the phone screen showes a progrres bar that is almost full but it doesn't move just stays that way.

Why?

Btw I can restart with vol down+power+home button and everything goes to normal.

i'll just sit here crying...

So got my Sprint s6 edge few months ago and rooted it a week after. Sadly i dont know what i used rom wise to root it since its been a month+. Sadly i reformated pc awhile back so can't see the files i used.

Got bored and wanted to try and install xposed to add some new features to my phone. So just tried and i'm prety sure i bricked it hard...

what i followed

gs6.wonderhowto.com/how-to/install-xposed-framework-your-samsung-galaxy-s6-s6-edge-0163918/

It said make a recovery so i did by following

gs6.wonderhowto.com/how-to/install-custom-recovery-your-galaxy-s6-s6-edge-0161619/

I did what he did and after it asked for a reboot i rebooted and it got stuck on samsung boot logo saying "Recovery not SEANDROID Enforcing" in top left corner.

So i googled how to remove root and how to get past this screen and many suggested stock rom. I tried that and odin (v3.09) wont get past "Write NAND!"

I let it set for 20 minutes and nothing happened so i googled and everyone claimed trying different usb hubs and cables so i did that. I've tried every usb hub on my pc(8) and all 3 cables i had. So then tried different version v3.10.7 of odin and it fails with following

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..

<OSM> Binary Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

<OSM> Please wait..

<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

So now i'm just lost and scared at what to do. I googled "SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 3, BINARY: 1" And my findings are just to use stock rom...but thats what i did in first place. So now i'm stuck with a phone that is continuously rebooting itself to the samsung boot logo....

G925PVPU1AOCF_G925PSPT1AOCF_G925PVPU1AOCF_HOME.tar .md5 is the rom im trying to flash with and i believe it is stock because got it off this forum from a post claiming it was the new stock updated rom.

Can someone please help? I can skype or teamspeak or ventrilo or just use this forum to help me but i'm beyond confused on what to do now...

edit- phone is continuously rebooting itself to the samsung boot logo...but i managed to make it stop by making phone sit in download mode...

edit2- i can not go into recovery or safe mode. All i can do is wtach my phone go to the boot logo "Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge" screen then to black screen back to boot screen. And i can put it into download mode.... Thats it...The brick is real...

Aggressive multitask killing

Hey,

I recently bought a S6 Edge and managed to root it via a custom kernel (after I updated it to 5.1.1.). I did this because of the aggressive multitask killing. I had done some research and had found a way to disable the multitask killing by going into the build.prop and editing the DHA properties. I did that too but the problem which arose was that the method was for v5.0.2 only and the build.ptop on my S6 Edge were different. There is also the option of arter97 kernel but I won't do that because it requires formatting the phone. I would really be grateful if somebody could provide me with an alternative or explain to me how to go about the build.prop in v5.1.1. Thanks in advance.

Ok, so I've been trying to look for pethods to root G925VVRS4DQD1... I flashed this firmware through Odin v3.12.7. Everything worked out perfectly. Then, I started looking for a root method and found people saying that there isn't a way to do this yet. However, I found a site which shows how to flash TWRP, but there is the requirement of having the bootloader unlocked. How do I even do this if there is no known way to do it? It seems to me like I am missing a huge amount of information. I just can't seem to wrap my head around people rooting their S6 Edge through TWRP or even CF-AutoRoot without bootloader being unlocked. Could someone please clarify what I'm missing or if the internet is just as confusing as it is in my head?

Best answer is, bootloader must be unlocked to flash TWRP or root. G925V has a locked bootloader as verizon lock it pretty good. Its is well known on here that G925V and G925A have locked bootloaders. A lot of websites claim you can easily root G925V but its not really true.
