Do you have a SM-G925f phone or something else?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] Kevin_R:
Sorry, I'm using the SM-925F (Edge International)
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] Tigermoto:
I must be doing something wrong then, I'm using the SM-G925F also. ThreeUK. Stuck on the S6 edge screen and going no further.

As an HTC user this is a new method to me. Any help would be appreciated.

I tried the "Brother's" trick above but i don't get any flashing capacitive buttons either.

Any idea's guys?

If i Odin flash the firmware from sammobile will it recover from this does anyone know?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] gdmlaz:
Anybody that has rooted their 925t tmobile version can you guys check if your phone is going into deep sleep after root ?? I keep hearing that after rooting this way phone is no longer able to go to deep sleep
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] GORDAN13:
What file do I use to root the sprint s6 edge sm-925P if anyone can help me. Thank you
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] nappent:
Yes I can confirm that. No deep sleep
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] aooga:
Can confirm.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] xadidas4lifex:
Hey, so once we root...

How can I update the software on the phone?

Rumor has it the 5.0.2 update is out and ota is not working because I rooted...

Just use SU and completely remove root? or what should i do?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] shawn718:
Sprint user use sm g920t for root...
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] fgr:
Same deal here.

First day I had the phone, it wasn't rooted. When I got home from work, battery was at about 60%, low to moderate use.

Rooted that night, and the next day by the time I left work, was at 16%. Same usage.

You can literally watch the battery percentage go down.

Probably no way to undo it until Sammy releases firmware (I have Sprint version).
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] 3c:
Changing manufacturers can be very unsettling to say the least. But over time you'll get used to it and likely find Samsung's to be much easier. I came from many HTC devices and found the Samsung's flashing much easier on the long run.

Yes, flashing a firmware from sammobile will recover your original device. You can also try reflashing the CF-auto-root file, it sometimes succeeds. Most recent Samsung devices will go back to download mode after a failed flash. Or maybe the firmware version was not the same in your device and the file you flashed? The auto-root uses the recovery partition to update your system files and then reflash the stock recovery (but one included in the ZIP, not the original), so if those are not the same version, that could mean troubles.

To flash my G925F, I first applied the OTA and then flashed latest auto-root. Was scared though as I couldn't find the french generic firmware on sammobile, only operator-based firmwares and there's no warranty I would be able to flash another country's firmware, even in 925F version.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] abuleen:
I Have SM-G925I, and I rooted with the SM-G950F, the phone could not enter deep sleep until I restored the Original recovery, and now I have root and normal deep sleep status
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] 3c:
That seems like great news as I have deep-sleep issues, but where did you find the original recovery? I searched on XDA and found nothing, and the firmware for my device is still not on sam-mobile either :(.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] rjwdon:
how did you restore original recovery?!
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] Chainfire:
The chance that these two things are related are about the same as the chance of you dancing naked on your balcony bringing rain. Just saying.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] abuleen:
I extracted mine from the rom downloaded from http://samsung-updates.com/
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] gav83collins:
[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] does this root. When using sm-g925t file on a sm-g925i. Change the device id and build number. I booted into stock recovery and checked the recovery log. And in most instances my sm-g925i is recognised as a SM-G925T.... ?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] Dr4g0n:
hello,

i have also a huge battery drain. in this night over 2.5%/hour in flight mode.

made yesterday the ota update with odin and reflash root from sm-g920f because, the autoroot from sm-g925f ends within a bootloop :(

this problem is very annoying because the batterylife is very bad.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] abuleen:
Will I dont know about dancing naked in the balcony, but I rooted my edge and flashed the official rom three times, and I realized that after root the device will not enter deep sleep, and I can see that in the recovery the device label my device as a 925T not 925I, then I flashed my device oreginal recovery, and the device started to enter deep sleep again.

I want to thank you for your amazing efforts, and If you could release a CF Root for the SM-G925I it will be great

Thanx
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] RyanZA:
Any chance you can post a link to just the extracted one? The whole firmware is huge and very slow to download
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] abuleen:
I will upload it here when i get home
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] RyanZA:
Also for anybody with a 925F who flashed the root but is stuck in a boot loop - you can flash the 925T and it will boot fine. Not sure if everything will work 100%, but it will boot fine.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] prking07:
Care to share 925i stock recovery.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] Tigermoto:
Bootloop

Flashed the AutoRoot for 925F last night and got stuck at S6 edge screen.

Tried the other's that people recommended but same occurred.

Then Odin flashed the BTU version of the firmware as a friend told me this would work fine, but now I'm stuck on the animated splash screen, and have been for hours.

Does anyone have the UK H3G version of the S6 Edge firmware so i can try going back to that?

Sorry for the OT, i know it's almost thread hijacking, but i figure if anyone knows, it'd be you guys.

My first ever Samsung Device after 10 years of HTC, and i can't use it... I'm beginning to panic.

Many thanks for any result.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] abuleen:
here is the stock recovery I used, I extracted it from the official SM-G925I Rom, and replaced it with the one inside CF-Root File.

and the Deep Sleep problem is gone now from my SM-G925I phone.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] aooga:
[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] - So in your opinion, what is causing the deep sleep problem on rooted phones? You said restoring stock recovery won't help anything, but is there a fix for this or are we doing something wrong?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] abuleen:
I re attached the file again

1- Your Phone is SM-G925I

2- Unzip the attached file (you will find "recovery.tar" inside)

3- Use Odin to flash the "recovery.tar"

4- when it boot check the deep sleep status and report it here

I just re-flashed the attached tar to my device, please check
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] prking07:
Thanks a million!!! It worked, sleeping like a baby now!!
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] Chainfire:
Honestly, I don't know (yet). And while it isn't completely impossible that the recovery is related, it's just very, very, unlikely. It's like exchanging the spare tire in the trunk of your car having a significant effect on its handling. It shouldn't, as you don't use the spare tire while driving. So it is with recovery, it's completely unused during normal Android operation. It might as well be blank! The only thing I can really think of is perhaps a KNOX-related process checking recovery, bugging out, and keeping the device alive, but that would be daft even for Samsung.

I'm not saying the deep sleep issue cannot be related to root. Could be a SuperSU issue even. But unless some significant evidence surfaces that the recovery is actually to blame (it's a "correlation does not mean causation" style thing), I choose to believe it isn't. FYI, I'm not having any such issue on my S6 so far. What are you guys using to verify deep sleep, anyway?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] abuleen:
See the above post :D

I guess I was dancing naked on my balcony, and it is raining now :good:

---------- Post added at 05:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:28 PM ----------

CPU Spy

and I did remove all Knox related apps, but the deep sleep didnt come to normal until i restored the stock recovery (SM-G925I)

---------- Post added at 05:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------

By the way..

SU do not asks to disable Knox as it was doing in older samsung devices, I dont know if you removed this feature because it is not yet compatible with Knox 2.4 or there is some thing prevent it from asking.

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] prking07:
I dont know crap about recovery but i will tell you that flashing stock recovery back fixed it instantly, and i still have root so im a happy camper. You can prolly make a 2 step cf root where first part installs cf root recovery and then 2nd step flashes stock recovery back and check if that works.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] Chainfire:
... it already does that
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] Chainfire:
Try going into recovery and wiping data.

Don't panic. There's nothing (physically) wrong with your device. You'll be fine. Might take a few tries but nothing is broken.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] prking07:
Ajaja i know but i meant like not automatic, like let cf root do its rooting thing, then make it boot to download mode again and flash stock recovery with odin. Prolly the reason is the way the recovery is being flashed in cf root. Or maybe is the fact that some people like me have to flsh wrong recovery for example 920i recovery on my 925i
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] mo3553:
Hey guys, i just want to ask if it is possible to root the s6 edge? My model number is SM-g925f. I appreciate if someone helps. this is my first Samsung and i am so excited☺
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] abuleen:
No it does not.

My device is SM-G925I

when I enter recovery it will state my Build which is LRX22G.G925IDVU1AOD1

You did not provide a root file for my device so I used the CF Root for SM-G925F

when I do that, my recovery will state my Build as LRX22G.G925FXXU1AOCV (only in the recovery)

______________________________________________________________

"by the way there is a message in the recovery saying (dm-verity verification failed)"

i do not know what it means

______________________________________________________________

I sow that so I flashed my stock recovery back and the deep sleep went back to normal

and to be sure again I just did it one more time:

deep sleep is normal ==> Flashed your root File SM-G925F ==> deep sleep is not OK ==> Flashed Stock recovery ==> deep sleep is back to normal

Thank you Again for your effeorts :good:
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] drakon.us:
What do I need to do to get sm-g9250 rooted?

Is there a walkthrough for the steps to manually root the phone?

If I provide a recovery.img, then Chainfire can prep the root package? but I need root to get the recorvery.img in the first place?

I found a software file from a Chinese website with the following files:

[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] 3c:
I've seen that a mismatch in recovery version and OS version can lead to problems, and seen device no long boot after flashing the wrong recovery version, so for me it can cause this. However I had the proper recovery version (925F) for the same OS version and experienced deep-sleep issues. A user even reported having deep-sleep issues without being rooted, so while this could be the problem for some this is definitely not the culprit for many of us.

Furthermore today, my device started to sleep as it should, even though I didn't flash any new recovery or anything else (the stock firmware for my device is still unavailable), only played with feeds for the edge screen, disabling all but notification!

Those deep-sleep reports I mention above were discussed in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6-edge/help/deep-sleep-t3079705. Might be a better place to discuss this issue than here, IMO.

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION], thank you very much for the reply. I hope you are right. I do keep trying wipe data in recovery, but i still find myself at the animated Samsung screen.

I just hope the firmware for my actual device ends up being available soon, as the BTU and XEU ones (which i was told was not device specific) both land me here.

P.S sorry for continuing to ruin your thread. I've been using your work for a long time, both SuperSUPro and DSLR controller. I know you know your art.

If you know the S/N of your device and if you can enter to the download mode you can use samsung smart switch application and recover your phone

It is very easy way of restoring samsung devices, and it will download the latest build for your device directly from samsung servers
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] Tigermoto:
In download mode smart switch just says "Unsupported device" at me.

I really hoped that would help, appreciate you trying

SM-G925F - Galaxy S6 Edge 64GB

If i go to More / Emergency software recovery and installation; and type in my model it asks me for my S/N, as soon as i type that, the program just closes.

All while in download mode of course. Android just won't boot, so i can't do it from there.

Can you explain how to get my LS980 into fastboot mode step by step, if i can put it in fastboot mode, i think i can fix it. please help
[Sprint LG G2] fruitsseller@gmail.com:
First of all, i'm sorry for my bad english.

i having the same problems as him. my LS980 is stuck at LG logo screen (not rebooting) it just stay there forever!

when i tried to boot it into download mode, at first i thought gonna successfully boot into download mode, but it DID NOT.

Please refer to my picture below to get better understanding what i'm trying to explain and again i'm sorry for my bad english.

My pc can detect my LS980 but not in fastboot mode, i mean if i try to boot into download mode then my pc won't detect it.

Looking at it, you should be able to find where the laf.IMG file needs to be put to fix it so you can tot back to stock.

To follow this procedure the phone should be detected in the PC. But in my case the phone is dead silent.

tauheed90 i follow your tutorial and I'm in the same situation as you. I have LS980 32GB stuck in boot loop, It can't be put in recovery, download or fastboot mode. It also can't be rerooted. because i think my partitions were messed up.

Cant find a way to fix it :(
[Sprint LG G2] tauheed90:
Which rom you flashed when the download mode broke?

Does your pc detects your phone while it is stuck in boot loop??
[Sprint LG G2] Miguelll:
Unfortunately i made your second mistake (for my phone was fatal): i downloaded the stock firmware Europe OPEN D80220H_00.kdz and flashed it using LG flash tool. The installation was successful but the touch did not work because my phone is LS980 32GB

A few days later i discover LGUP_8974.dll

I disconnected the internet and try to flash it with LS980ZVA_01.tot modified with the objective to convert D802 to LS980 I managed to install but in +/- 90% installation phone restart as usual and now it is stuck in boot loop forever.

Symptoms: PC don't detect anything when i try to go to download mode but it detects the phone when normal booting while phone is stuck on LG logo.

I cant see my phone in windows /ubunto. My phone is not rooted. Flashboot dont detect my device. I dont find a solution.
[Sprint LG G2] tauheed90:
My 2nd phone was stuck same as yours with same symptoms, all you have to do is fix the partitions to get the download mode back. I followed the short capacitor method explained in this thread to get the phone in QHS-USB mode.

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/general/lg-g2-unbrickable-fix-real-hard-brick-t2904404

after shorting the capacitor it all depends on your luck whether your phone goes to Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 mode or 9006 mode. The partitions can be fixed in both cases but the method is different for both.
