Fellow Pinoys, I just want to share my Samsung Galaxy S6 Dous from globe history.

1. attempt to root the phone. "at this moment i already accepted that this will trip knox and will void the warranty"

a mistake was made flashing root using odin for version 5.0 while my version is 5.1.1 - Result bricked! I wast able to sleep that night thinking that i cant fix it.

2. Phone was restored by flashing UK firmware GF920F 5.1.1. via odin

3. Game on!! Next mission is to root the phone! it was a success by flashing unikernel!

4. Installed boot loader TWRP - latest version Success!!

5. Installed Arrow Rom - Unfortunately, Dual sim is disable and cannot connect to the internet.

6. Tried XtreStoLite Rom- Very good and very light ROM with good battery life!! - Highly recommended

7. Now using Tyrannus ROM V6.0 - Very good sound quality with viper..... - under observation....

Dont be afraid my friend! Go ahead and Root! :D

Thanks bro! Im using the display unit at our office. Seems alright when only 4-5 apps opened. But when opening a sixth app, it kills one app. Kinda annoying if you tell me.
[Galaxy S6 General] supl4do:
I have tried my modded rom and my gf's stock rom. It does not close the 6th app. it is virtually unlimited. Perhaps it is because the display unit multitasking is limited?
[Galaxy S6 General] kudaj316:
Guys what method u used for rooting?
[Galaxy S6 General] supl4do:
i root my phone via odiby n flashing unikernel now at version 8

hi guys,

can anyone please help me have my s6 lte/wcdma network mode working again? It used to run smoothly before the OTA 5.1.1 upgrade.

many thanks in advance

Lte on globe same as 4g??

Sir how about for globe im on postpaid?? Never seen lte icon but they keep telling me that its activated. Then they told me that 4g and lte are the same i dont get that point sir. Any idea??
[Galaxy S6 General] supl4do:
If referring to the icon on your phone, 4G means LTE. What is it that you don't get? You wont see an LTE icon on your phone unless you flash it with custom ROM.
[Galaxy S6 General] merito02:
Will this also affect the lock screen? Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 General] batuzai04123:
Did you get your phone from Globe? I can assume that your phone will display 4G instead of LTE icon. as most of S6 variants here in Phils displays 4G icon.

Globe told you that it's already activated, then you should be able to get lte signal UNLESS your vicinity isn't covered with LTE network of Globe.

Using LTE/WCDMA/GSM (4G/3G/2G) settings will allow your phone to choose the best signal for your phone. If your location does have LTE signal (around 0-1 bar) as to 3G (4 bars - Max bar) - your radio will pick 3g as your default mobile connection. There's no way you can set it to LTE unless its rooted.

If you really wanted to have LTE only, your option would to root and install this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cc.signalinfo

Any Modern Combat 5 players here? I cannot get pass the loading screen after the recent update. Similar issues? Ideas? Thanks. :)

4th...

it seems Globe locked firmware detect which sim is installed and if it is not Globe Sim it will disable data/internet options

and restrict the sim to GSM only.

Globe locked, unlocked via paid service

sim1, smart, call/sms ok, GSM only and no option to change settings and add APN

sim2, Globe, call/sms ok, option to change to LTE

pag nag flash sa Philippine Openline stockfirmware,

ma solve kaya?

ma trip ba ang knox?

maka received pa ba ako ng OTA update for the openline firmware?
[Galaxy S6 General] supl4do:
One way to find out. Try it. Sun users got thier phone unlocked with the update
[Galaxy S6 General] tong2x:
samsung s6 openline

it seems TAMA po si jvrey...

you dont need to flash any firmware to change "csc", or change from globe, smart sun and open line

I flashed the latest stock open line rom only to find out na automatically selected ang "globe" csc dahil yun ang existing sa phone, even after numerous re flashing and wipe data...

ang firmware po ng samsung ngayon somewhat "smart", at all in one na, and just load the needed codes...

after researching the net, dahil nga dun sa auto loading ng csc of globe, which I also saw sa stock recovery

nakalagay dun na automatically selected ang "csc glb" for globe...

ito po ang nahanap ko, need na i enter sa dialer as jvrey pointed out

*#272*Phone’s IMEI Here#

(na double ang pound sa post ni jvrey kaya hindi mag work sa lahat ng nag try)

(it is also suggested sa site na nakita ko, na i setting->backup reset->factory reset; though ithink wala naman effect)

enter the code sa dialer... select "XTC", as posted by jvrey, i wipe ang phone so take note of that (backup muna kayo)

kung ang phone nyu sim lock ang sim1, at ibang sim ang nakalagay sa sim1, lalabas uli ang sim unlock...

(enter nyu nalang ang sim unlock code na nabili nyu)

I have not tried it, possible cguro na... buy a globe/smart/sun locked phone and convert it to XTC via the dial in code.

after na ma wipe at mag reset... yung sim2 ay dapat pwed na gumamit ng internet... isip ko lng po ito ha... hindi ko na try...

since na convert na to sa XTC, mawawala na dapat ang GSM lock sa sim 2...

or maybe need parin i flash ang open line... try nalang ng iba...

Just bought unlocked Galaxy S6

Hi All,

Just want to check with you guys. Just bought a Galaxy S6 unlocked. When I checked the software updates, it tells me that mine was up to date but it is only on 5.0.2. Any ideas why?

By the way, this is in the Philippines. Model is SM-G920FD.
[Galaxy S6 General] kudaj316:

Got an S6 from Smart and I have been playing around with my CSC with *#272 then I accidentally installed XSE (indonesia). Now *#272 no longer works :( help please
[Galaxy S6 General] supl4do:
Try restore factory settings. If that doesnt work. Flash the whole smart firmware back.
[Galaxy S6 General] JoRoms:
Hi Sir,

Not really familiar but I have read some steps. Don't really want to do anything like that because of the warranty.
[Galaxy S6 General] tong2x:
hmmmm... it should work across csc, no mistype symbol/numbers?

you could try to reflash the openline PH firmware, and wipe data
[Galaxy S6 General] supl4do:
I have globe locked too. I unlocked it via code from the unlocking company. both of the sims are now unlocked. it does not require one sim to be globe. Im using custom rom xtrestolite deo mod v.2.4
[Galaxy S6 General] shigi1231:
random question. Would anyone know a link to where we can get the stock firmware for the G920F with our region? 5.0.x or 5.1 would suffice. :D Sammobile and youmobile both have crappy DL speed, and would require us to get the premium version to make use of our max DL speed.

Or perhaps anyone is kind enough to upload theirs? :)
[Galaxy S6 General] supl4do:
Internet Download Manager does the trick on download speed
[Galaxy S6 General] shigi1231:
Tried that before with that pc app. No improvements :P. Perhaps I was not able to tweak the settings as intended. If it does so work, won't you mind guide me how it works?
[Galaxy S6 General] supl4do:
i dont have a good internet connection here but with IDM my max download is around 400KBps, where B = Bytes

Balikloob sa Android

Hi everyone, I'm a returning Android user. I just got myself a Samsung S6 dual sim unit.

I had a hiccup while testing the device yesterday: everything goes well except when I try to use the mobile internet. My original sim is for a Smart postpaid account, to which I was able to its mobile internet with my previous phone (an Iphone). When I tried to connect to mobile internet with my Smart sim in the S6, it wouldn't work. Eventually, I was able to establish a connection when we inserted another sim (a Globe one) in the other sim slot.

My question is: Will mobile internet work only if there are 2 sims inserted in the phone?
[Galaxy S6 General] tong2x:
hehehe also upgraded mine

IMMIDIATELY! haha

[MENTION=7024563]tinmuning[/MENTION]

it should not, it should work regardless

you have to choose in the sim manger which sim you would like to activate its LTE or data

what firmware are you using?

you got your phone from Smart?
[Galaxy S6 General] Jhayzt:
Anybody notice this new update, COI9, made the fingerprint scanner faster? Its no placibo alright.
[Galaxy S6 General] merito02:
You can try from Applewerkz...
[Galaxy S6 General] tinmuning:
No I didn't get it from Smart, just bought it as some brick and mortar store. Android version 5.1.1
[Galaxy S6 General] tong2x:
try this

setting -> sim manager

disable sim2

and in data service network select sim1

setting->mobile networks

network mode for "sim1"

select "lte wcdma/gsm(auto connect)"

setting->mobile networks-> access point names

does this show the smart internet auto config settings?
[Galaxy S6 General] merito02:
anybody knows how to use the BATTERY OPTIMIZATION feature? I know you just need to select apps you want to optimize, but how does it work? Does it ensure the app is closed and doesn't run in the background? Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 General] tong2x:
to my understanding if optimization is enabled, android will be able to throttle the app.

like reducing CPU usage to reduce power consumption

it is not like those memory cleaners that terminate running apps
[Galaxy S6 General] merito02:
Thanks for the info! So is it safe to put apps to ALWAYS OPTIMIZE?
[Galaxy S6 General] shigi1231:
You guys have any idea if the S6 will be getting any AOSP roms anytime soon?
[Galaxy S6 General] k12310:
Thank you! I followed almost the same steps above and it worked for me. Only thing changed is (*#272*SIM1 IMEI HERE#) instead of (*#272#*SIM1 IMEI HERE#). Smart now works on Sim 1 LTE.
[Galaxy S6 General] Tricks25:
Probably safe except for your apps that uses push notif like viber, syncing emails, etc

As long as samsung dont release documentation for exynos, we will never be getting fully working aosp roms.

Help, my Galaxy S6 Edge's IMEI backs to default. IMEI # 35000000000000003.

Somene knows how to fix it? I went to Samsung Service, they said it's a 50-50 chance if they tried to fix the software or my phone will be brick dead.

Is there a repair shop in Manila were can i go to fix my S6?

thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S6 General] owee420:

[Galaxy S6 General] batuzai04123:

Can you use LTE signal on both sims? And can the data be enabled on one sim only. Thanks for the reply.

[Galaxy S6 General] sherwuds:
S6 duos globe unlocked

Experimented with *#272*imei# and luckily my globe lock s6 duos can use internet on my globe and smart sim. Just choose SMA, let it install then check for the mobile network setting ( check if sim 1 and sim 2 is grayed out). If none of the two is grayed out then try to use it in browsing, if it works then congratulations.

I don't know if there is a same post like this but i just discovered it yesterday.
[Galaxy S6 General] supl4do:
Not going abroad anytime soon but I guess it will work.
[Galaxy S6 General] saprowling:
Thanks for the reply. I'm going to live in korea for the next 2 yrs starting in feb. Just got the S6 from globe 4 months ago. Hoping data will also work for foreign sim. I don't want to buy another phone there..
[Galaxy S6 General] mupet0000:
I have 10 hours estimated too. It's just the S6 battery, it's average.

did u ever try to flash ur sim lock phone FW XTC?

---------- Post added at 01:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:55 PM ----------

does anyone of u successfully manage to unlock the sim locked SM-G920F?
[Galaxy S6 General] DrearierJester1:
even if you FLASH XTC firmware, your CSC is still based on SMA (SMART), it will not get rid of the operator apps. So you will really have to change the CSC inside the dialer. Sammy's firmware is smart enough to detect this customization. Also flashing XTC firmware does not unlock your phone.
[Galaxy S6 General] philpilar:
Haven't flashed anything yet. Still on stock rom/kernel. Anyhow, how are your power buttons holding up? Mine's already mushy/doesn't click like it did bnew. :/ Should I have it replaced?

[Galaxy S6 General] bluekarlo:
Hi sir I'm just curious how long have you been using the unit?
[Galaxy S6 General] philpilar:
The phone was delivered on may 15. The simcard became active on the 20th. Called smart retention hotline to file my request for a replacement unit on the 22nd.
[Galaxy S6 General] philpilar:
Also, for smart users here, do we have to enter a new apn for lte connectivity? I live in an lte zone but I've never seen my data icon change to 4g or lte.
[Galaxy S6 General] bluekarlo:
Oh thanks. I just got my unit yesterday and trying to checkout everything in case this unit needs replacement.
[Galaxy S6 General] DrearierJester1:
No need to use a special APN to get LTE. Just make sure you have set the network mode to LTE/WCDMA/GSM.

Pag wala pa din ask smart customer service to activate ur LTE signal.
[Galaxy S6 General] philpilar:
Got it, thanks!

Hi, may I know where you got your code? I tried cellunlocker.net but they could not find the unlock code for my S6 duos. Also, how much did it cost you? Did you only order 1 unlock code even if there are 2 imeis?
[Galaxy S6 General] supl4do:
theunlockingcompany.com did it! USD 39.99 I only order 1 unlock code. It should work for both sims.

Thanks,

I finally got my unit unlocked but I ordered the code thru safeunlockcode.com . Too bad the price increased now to $44.99 . I bet theunlockingcompany and safeunlockcode have the same source as their prices are the same.

Now, the only problem is LTE signal..I'm only getting H+ for my data.

[Galaxy S6 General] theghostchili:
Did you unlocked your phone via code method? Try going to Settings>Sim Card Manager and select Data Service Network, select the SIM slot where your Smart sim is inserted.

If it doesn't work, try to check you APN settings if Smart APN is there already. If not, create a new APN for your Smart sim. You can find the settings in the Smart website.
[Galaxy S6 General] kirunoru:
Is this true for units coming from SUN? I'm hoping to use my SMART for the other slot. Hope they allow it since they are already the same company.

Will you be able to go back to stock rom by flashing it via odin? Because I tried downgrading before and I just came to know that the latest update prevents you from doing so.
[Galaxy S6 General] oneplusammy:
Yes, you can go back to stock thru odin but all your data will be erased. You'll have a fresh phone though, just like out of the box fresh :)

If you're rooted you can make a nandroid backup of your stock rom, and then flash away with custom roms. Just make sure that both roms are of the same version (both running on 5.1) as you can't go back to 5.0 once you've gone 5.1.

Personally, I tried the odin route before to get back to stock (with all the touchwiz bloatware), but then I used a debloater, which eliminated quite a lot of tw junk. At present though I'm running xtralite rom - quite good so far.
