S5 900w5 users were going with T-Mobile version if I'm right. Have you heard about anything like this with the s6/edge Canadian?

Have you seen any post where someone talk about working on our version?

I'll keep looking and post anything I find .

Q: Does This work on Samsung ROMs?

A: It doesn't work on Samsung TouchWiz-based ROMs. It should work on AOSP variants however. Follow the link in Post 1 for the latest updates. No one in this thread has other sources of information about the support of Samsung TW roms.

Hi, I've just use this method by Max Lee for my S6 edge (SM_G925W8 128Gb from Rogers) and it works perfect for me and I've been using it for 5-6 days and everything is fine both root and TWRP work great. I had to do the step describe in the Q&A because I was bootlooping but doing what he said work great and I was able to finish the install. So, IF YOU FEEL THAT YOU CAN DO IT it is on your OWN RISK and it's up to you to decide. Here is the link http://galaxys6root.highonandroid.c...root-galaxy-s6-or-s6-edge-with-twrp-recovery/
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
Glad to hear twrp works now. That's great news.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] 850RPM:
you were right man, this cover fits perfect; and the touch feeling is great;

to bad spigen messed up their's.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] goodbyegalaxy:
I know how you feel, I'm still waiting for Virgin Mobile to get some in stock. I keep checking back and they haven't had any yet. Though last time I called, before saying whether they had any stock they asked me if I was a new or existing customer. It was the second time they did that, I didn't think anything of it the first time but now I'm wondering if they are holding onto them to make the big bucks on new signups and screwing their existing customers.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
Why else would they ask?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] xxmwxx:
I'm still waiting for my Wind pre-order for the Black Edge 128gb... They said 2-3 weeks and still nothing. They keep saying they don't know when they'll get more. I was also on the list at Telus and they finally got 1 in the other day, went to the store to pick it up but the screen had 4-5 hairline scratches on it so I decided not to take it. Guess I'll have to wait for Wind..
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] LinS123:
Wow I thought they were holding on to extra edges for the pre-orders. If you still haven't gotten your edge, what was the point of the 99 dollar deposit?

Now I'm worried about how long it'll take. Good news is Samsung opened another production line for the edge screen so hopefully this shortage won't last much longer.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] xxmwxx:
Good question. Seems like pre-ordering didn't mean much this time. Other carriers don't have the 128gb in stock either (in any color) and they don't know when they'll get more. The "Compensation" wind is offering is $100 account credit for use to pay the bill etc. but I'm looking to switch to another carrier anyway because their reception is really bad for me so that credit doesn't mean much.

Unlock a Rogers Edge for Wind?

I don't want to wait for Wind to get them so I'm thinking I'll buy one from Rogers and get it unlocked by a 3rd party... I wan't planning on changing the firmware or doing any further mucking around with it just yet... Will a simple unlock allow it to work on Wind?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
Yes it will. You might have to set apn but that's the worst case scenario.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
Pretty sure all the apn's are included on the phone. They get applied based on the sim card that's inserted.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
Hence the "worst case scenario" ;)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] sirtrini:
One interesting thing to note - when I unlocked the Rogers version the phone reset and also deleted all of the Rogers preloaded apps on its own and set the CSC to KDO (which is correct based on me using it with Koodo.).
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] dfg187:
Any decide to root their G925W8? Do we really need Samsung pay?

80% ram usage all the time is just wasteful..
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] LinS123:
How do you buy a phone outright from Rogers? Everywhere I check it's only new contracts or renewals to get the phone. Can't seem to find an option to buy outright, will they even sell it outright?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] GoatNinja:
I found a dealer that has a returned one... I have a friend who's on rogers and he's going to buy it for me (they won't sell it to me)... the 64gb for 859 ($100 off)... the guys I spoke to was ok with what I wanted to do but I'm not sure if he is fully aware of what he's doing lol... keeping my fingers crossed when i go in tonight.

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] LinS123:
I managed to get my hands on a gold 64gb edge from a cool guy who was selling it.

Now I'm just waiting on my unlock code and everything will be set up.

No scratches or anything, I'm looking forward to using it.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] brar.arsh:
So [MENTION=4325945]ktoonsez[/MENTION] has posted Kernel in TMobile thread for G925T and G925W8, it's a same Kernel.

It means our device is same as TMobile, and can we install the 5.1.1 leak then?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] bsilvino:
1) Is there a way to install google gapps without rooting or flashing other rom? I am coming from N5 and not getting used with the contact, dialer and clock apps, that come with my S6 Edge.

2) I am thinking to return the edge and get the non-edge one, is it only me or this device is too hard to hold with one hand due the sharp edges? N5 was so pleasant to hold.. this is being a deal breaker...

3) also, the white color of the screen is "yellow" if you compare with N5, is there a way to tweak the display color.. all the settings options available make it worst.

4) The positive is the outstanding camera, WOW, it's amazing. If you are looking for a phone with the best camera, this is the one, definitely.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] LNJ:
Can't speak for the 925 but the 920T and 920W8 are interchangeable. The roms and kernels work 100%.

So the Edge should be the same as well!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] brar.arsh:
Have you tried? You are actually the first to try different mods.. :p
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] LNJ:
Yeah I've tried the 920T roms as well as the 925T ported for the 920T. Everything works except the Edge specif features with the exception of Edge Contacts which work just fine.

Works great with the 920W8!

The F variant roms have issues with call audio but the T so far seems 100% interchangeable.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jazenf:
I tried it an everything worked fine but the only issue I had was when I was making a call I couldn't hear no sounds an when I was receiving calls I had the same problem as well. No sound.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] brar.arsh:
it is mostly Kernel related I guess, have you tried ktoones kernel?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] LNJ:
Was that the F variant roms or T variant roms?

On the non Edge, the F variant roms have no call audio. The T have no issues.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] static416:
So wait, just to clarify, are you saying you flashed 920T roms onto your Canadian Edge and everything other than the Edge features worked? That would be awesome.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] LNJ:
The other way around. 925T rom onto the 920W8 with the Koontz kernel and everything works except certain Edge features.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3097795
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jazenf:

s6 edge T mobile firmware in SM-G925W8

I tried to place the G25 T t mobile stock firmware in SM-G925W8 ( Canadian versión) via ODIN, and doesn´t work.

Appears " FAIL"

Wellcome to somebody that find another way

I want to have Access to more language option
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] LNJ:
Obviously not with Odin. You just need the rom and your stock boot.img. The T boot.img may work too.

Odin does the whole firmware.

s6 edge T mobile firmware in SM-G925W8

how can i do this?

thanks !
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] brar.arsh:
You can try flashing any rom zip using twrp from TMobile Android Development section and then flash Ktoons kernel from original android section.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] LNJ:
Go to the T-Mobile section and download one of their stock roms and flash via twrp. Don't try the 5.1.1 yet cause I think the updater script makes it not flashable to anything other than a T-Mobile device.

The roms only flash a system.img and a boot.img

Odin stock firmware flashes other partitions that can brick your phone!

Hey guys I was wondering if I can root this model SM-G925W8

and flash international rom..

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
Root yes. Flash international rom no. The only roms you can flash are 925w8 and 925T with the right kernel.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
I remember flashing the bloat free 925F BTU firmware (system+kernel) and it flashed fine and booted. Had no in call audio though. You can give it a whirl if you want. Unpack and flash system only and then flash a TMO/W8 kernel. It should give you in call audio and work just fine.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] brar.arsh:
What are you using now?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
On the stock Rogers one. But I did use BTU for half a day or so. I wasn't sure at that time that it was the kernel causing the issue. Will probably switch to F if I have to do a full wipe next time.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] zoharish:
Ohh well, which one is bloat free? I mean i don't want any carrier bloating.. just what samsung wanted to put :)

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
W8 firmware have less bloat than TMO for sure. Telus would be the one Canadian provider with the least bloat in my experience. I could be wrong though.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] marcil802:

Helped but these 3 are the one that suited my needs.

Thanks them if they helped.

That's it. I felt friendly tonight :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] LNJ:
One thing I have noticed about the Canadian stock roms are their CSC folders which allows you to switch on the fly to any other Canadian operator via *#272*IMEI#

Most likely cause all Canadian carriers have the exact same hardware and FW build is universal until you pop in your SIM for it to add the appropriate bloat.

The T-Mobile does not!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
Exactly. Don't forget to mention that changing csc performs a hard reset.

---------- Post added at 08:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 AM ----------

Great choice of case. I got the Spigen crystal screen protector it's edge to edge and it looks great. If you go to the accessories section you'll find tons of great links and info.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] LNJ:
I'm not sure if that's still true. After a full Kies restore, the phone defaulted to BMC instead of RWC. I fully set it up and then changed the CSC fully expecting a full reset but it wasn't reset after the reboot.

So not sure if that's because I had TWRP and rooted or not!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
Hmm... Good observation. As far as I know changing the csc reboots and resets the device. My experience was with the s5 unrooted. So you might have a point. Anyone else recently changed their CSC?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] brar.arsh:
So whosoever has rooted, could you please write the steps here and the twrp to use. I will update the OP.

So I finally got my black S6 edge 128gb pre-order from Wind 2 days ago and I think they got more stock too. Luckily the screen on this one was pristine, no scratches or other issues (pink hue etc.). The unit is pretty new with a manufacture date of April 26th so hopefully it means they fixed all the QC issues they had with earlier batches.

Anyone here used a 3rd party website to unlock their device? Any particular recommendations? I saw CanadaGSM/cellunlocker.net/swiftunlocks can unlock the device, anyone used any of them?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] FligMupple:
I used cellunlocker.net to unlock my Bell S6 Edge. It cost $19.99 USD, took 6 hours to get the code emailed, and worked successfully.

I also successfully used cellunlocker around 10 times in the past.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
Heads-Up for anyone thinking of flashing a 925F Rom.

Attempted to flash the new ODG Vodafone image (system only) and stuck to ktoonesz W8 kernel.

Still no in-call audio. I'm assuming audio support for TMO/W8 isn't kernel only.

Looks like we'll have to stick to TMO ROM'S.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] LNJ:
Is that the latest build that was released in the last 24 hours?

Audio aside, did you feel like the memory management has improved?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
We should be receiving a patch to fix the memory management shortly. They're being rolled out in Europe as we speak.

Language option problems in galaxy s6 edge sm g925w8 canadian version

hello to everybody

Someone can Help me? In Android 5.0+ the language traslators no Works completly ( some menus are translated, another not) even with the device rooted, neither using CMD tools for this

The Canadian versión of S6 edge have only five language options ( i need more options_ italian- German- Spanish-portuguese), I could not find a way to include others

somebody know another ways different to customized ROMs?

can the languages be changed by enabling some secret codes or changing CSC options with root file explorer and writing or changing the commands for this?

i have searched in all forums but there is no firmware files for wind mobile.

help me out guys want to root it with pingpong root.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
Yes you can. All Canadian variants are the same firmware. Once you flash it, the carrier bloat will be installed based on CSC.

If you look around in system/csc you'll see that all the bloat preexists on the phone. It just gets applied on first boot.

Hey guys,

Wondering if you guys can help me shed light on the video recording.

I've only noticed recently that when i switch to UHD recording, the screen freezes and goes green.

However, I downloaded an alternate camera app that supports 4K recording and it works.

I'm on Rogers, unrooted. It's not a big issue, since i can get it to work on alternate app, it just sucks that such an expensive phone has this glitch.

hopefully someone can help.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] xxmwxx:
That's weird, I just tested mine and UHD recording worked fine (On the Wind variant, unrooted as wel)... maybe try to clear data & cache for the camera app?

mine works fine as well but way smoother on 1080p 60fps

Tried that and actually did a factory reset to no avail.

I can live with it for now since i can still vet it to work.

It's fairly new but returning it is not an option since I'll be goong away on a week and need a phone (I'd have to ship it to Quebec)

Based on that article, doesn't seem like there will be a 5.0.2 maintenance release for us. Just straight up 5.1.1.

Works for our phone. Someone who's on a Rogers network says that it's working for them with no issues.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] srkoza:
since ping pong makes our device status as custom with no more ota updates will unrotting and factory restore set it back to normal or is it custom and we will be stuck flashing roms to fix the memory leak issue? because even though it doesnt trip knox to send it back for warranty it says custom so that probably voids it, what my question is whats the point of no knox tripping if it makes the device status custom anyway, as of now its pretty pointless to root, other than greenify because xposed doesnt work
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
Basically the point is that flashing stock firmware via ODIN will bring your phone to "right out of the box status" so you will be able to receive the OTA. Also not tripping Knox ensures you will be able to use samsung pay in the future.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] FligMupple:
