I have to go, i will be back in a few hours, i hope it will help u guys
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] -Mr. X-:
Hmm this is odd, again they are empty CM.bin and sboot.bin. modem again is good. THe modem has been tested and working by a user. just am perplexed by the empty output of the boot loader files

I see you are going, we will have another kick at this when you are free again.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] brar.arsh:
Thanks for this bro, will be waiting for you to be back. ;)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] risx:
Tried your script and my sboot.bin & cm.bin is also 4 mb.

Modem.bin size is 42mb
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] -Mr. X-:
the size is as expected, its the fact its empty is the concern. we tested this zip on our s6's before we posted it it dumps my 5.1.1 bl as expected. we also verified the partitions to dump were proper on the edge. So we're a little stumped as to why the modem worked and nothing else. we're investigating now.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] risx:
Maybe a download or upload problem from Dropbox?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] brar.arsh:
No I checked on my local, its the same.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] -Mr. X-:
Yes, we and a half dozen of us on S6 tested this multiple times on 5.0.2 and 5.1.1 boot loaders and it worked. every edge user we have had do it is dumping null files. They are empty files :/ we are testing things and suspect ti might be a variance in the twrp available. Nothing conclusive at this time. Good news is the radio has been tested by [MENTION=4478308]brar.arsh[/MENTION] and works ;)

You guys are welcome to flash it now. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347809008

Edit: The s6 edge doesnt dump anything usable from twrp or root terminal. This is getting even weirder.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] faultlog:
Thanks guys. Would flashing the modem alone on the Edge fix the fingerprint reader in 5.1.1. roms?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] -Mr. X-:
no it will not, we need to get this BL dumped.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
Not flashing for me. Twrp just reboots.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] -Mr. X-:
are you on twrp 2.7.8.1?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
I'm on the 5.1.1 twrp evonc told me about.

It is 2.7.8.1
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] -Mr. X-:
Give it another try, maybe redownload thats the same twrp the OP is on and he flashed it fine. Possible a bad download or flash.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
Re-downloaded and Re-flashed. It worked. Thanks.

---------- Post added at 08:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------

Ready for the BL now:D
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
Are we sure the partition table is the same? Maybe the edge is using a different partition to store the bootloader?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] -Mr. X-:
It is indeed the same we have verified all the storage locations and device blocks
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] risx:
I'm guessing you tried with the dev block names also?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] -Mr. X-:
you bet'cha no dice. we even tried dumping the first 16 mb of the raw storage /dev/sda all boot loader areas are null (0's) every which way all 0's. empty, nadda :/ this is getting frusterating because it works on my device in root shell as well as twrp flasher. It works for other contacts of mine i have had many people test it and some its fine some its all 0's we're now stummped especially since one of the guys who it was working on dumped 3x in a row and the third time it dumped 0's and now it only dumps null files.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] bekham76:
im back if u guys need me to do something let me know
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Dimitri.k:
Hmm that's true but at the same time, it shouldn't be shipped almost a week before unless they use ground shipping and depends on where the customer is. Anyways just wondering what Telus would say that's all. I don't care as i can wait until Friday from Rogers to get it seeing as i have a day off Friday too lol
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Hendrycks:
I found this article from when the S4 launched: http://mobilesyrup.com/2013/04/15/t...ders-199-on-a-3-year-and-shipping-april-26th/

It says Telus was shipping the S4 a week early from release as well so maybe Telus has some sort of deal with Samsung?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Dimitri.k:
Yeah i rememeber that as well. Maybe they do have something with Samsung but Telus claims they don't and they don't know how that user is getting his early. Oh well just wanted to see what's going on. It would be nice to see all carriers have this and not just one.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] adsam3927:
When I got the email from Telus I was genuinely surprised especially as I wasn't any where near the first to preorder..I ordered about 2 weeks after preorder release

I agree that the shipping is done to ensure the device arrives either on or just the day before official launch but in this case being very early has to be because of Easter and also the Telus depot is in Mississauga which is where I am.. So will get to me a lot earlier
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Dimitri.k:
I don't see Easter being the reason as UPS or Canada post would be picking them up on Monday and or Tuesday to deliver them. It seems to me that someone at Telus either shipped them out earlier then they were supposed to OR they have a deal with Telus to ship them out earlier. It makes no sense other then that. If they really wanted a customer to get it at launch or a day before, they could have used Express shipping or overnight shipping for Wednesday to Thursday or Thrusday to Friday. Right?. I use to work for UPS so that's why i know a bit of things like this. All carriers use Overnight and express for shipping a device a day or so before launch. Here it seems like the work with Telus and Samsung. Either way I am happy for u! Let us know when it comes and do show us a picture of this beautiful device!.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] adsam3927:
So my unit is arriving sometime this morning via Canada Post and wanted more importantly to let you guys know the biggest worry I have is "scratchgate"

I've been following the appropriate thread for US and its pretty bad

Some of the folks downloaded the app SAMSUNG PHONE INFO from the play store to identify build date and so far 03/19 has been the problem batch

I went to BB (again) yesterday to check the store demos that were perfect ..no scratches ..spent 5 mins with bright light ...build date ...03/01 (picture attached)

Seems that the demos that went out asap after the MWC launch were all good but I do remember right after that reading a report that Samsung was looking for another supplier to keep up with demand for the edge screens so its possible that is the reason for the faulty screens.

In any case fingers crossed once I get back from work I'll post a picture .
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] alexforget82:
Talk to Vidéotron yesterday and they said they shipped a couple of days before official launch date so i can expect to receive it friday, 10.

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] brar.arsh:
Got it?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] adsam3927:
Yup

Just got home

My Ringke Fusion case also arrived at same time

The Tylt Wireless Pad was free from Telus

Will unbox shortly

I'm trembling with excitement like a kid even at the ripe old age of 40 !
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] lawtq:
Seriously, you're pathetic. And so am I! Will we men ever grow up lol. Enjoy
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] adsam3927:
Phew...screen is flawless

Build date 15/03 as you can see from sticker on back

Device feels INCREDIBLE...couldn't hold it properly in store because of security cables attached ..but this is one hell of a device ....well worth the extra $100 for the sculpture

I'm a minimalist so have the Ringke Slim on its way tomorrow but got the Ringke Fusion in meantime to compare and I gotta say this makes the phone feel a lot more secure in hand ..no risk of slippage ...crystal clear and does not take away from slim profile of phone,,as you can see Camera is fully protected by case

Ringke slim is even thinner so can't wait to compare.

Excited for everyone to get theirs
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] EnIXmA:
Lucky you.. I just talked to a bell rep., and these asholes would start delivering next week.

Never ever am I ordering a phone online from bell again. :mad:
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] adsam3927:
I had same issue with Bell

Was looking for new carrier...Bell were arrogant pricks...stayed with Telus...glad I did

Photos attached to previous posting

---------- Post added at 02:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 AM ----------

Just realized also no cheap lookimg Galaxy S6 edge branding on back of phone unlike all reviews I've seen so far ...fantastic!

Hope all Canadian carriers have chosen to follow suit
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Dimitri.k:
The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge branding on the back was for review devices and prototype devices. All reviewers have made that clear and also as for pictures that were posted on the US thread that users got u will see it doest have it. So no carrier will go with it unless they pay Samsung to have it on or vice versa.

Rogers still hasn't changed their status to IN PROGRESS or shipped yet. Telus did confirm to be some Telus customers will receive their S6 devices early as they did indeed ship out early for some.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Hendrycks:
So jealous lol. I ordered through Telus and they've told me it'll ship on the 9th and get to me 3-5 days later.. At that rate I can probably get it faster by just walking into a Telus store on the 10th and buying it..
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
That's assuming they have any available. :D
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Dimitri.k:
So Rogers just started putting their reservations IN PROGRESS status which means they got them and starting the shipping process. I was #5 for the 64GB Black S6 edge and mine just changed a few minutes ago. Also other are reporting the same on the community forums. Also it seems they only put 210 units for the black 32gb edge. That's not bad
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
Weird. When i go back and look at mine it says absolutely nothing. Gives me the option to reserve and then says I can only reserve 1 device but no status info.

Edit : Nvrmnd status IN PROGRESS
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Dimitri.k:
Ours should change to SHIPPED either today or tomorrow. We will get it on Friday for sure!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
The downside to getting a device early is the lack of mods. You're probably going to have to rock stock for a week or so but don't worry. If it's not on the Android dev section it will be soon enough.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] brar.arsh:
Thanks man but we will bug you once we figure out that null thing..
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
Attempted the zip on 5.0.2 and it still acts the same. Unsure if this is kernel/device related. Has anyone tried it with someone on a different variant edge (I/F/T)?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] brar.arsh:
Yes we tried it on many phones and ut acts weird.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Sword Fish:
I have had version 5.1.1 for a couple of days now and I really don't think you guys are missing much. I honestly beleive my battery is worse than it was before. Not sure if I have a bad app or not but I don't get the same life I used to. Sitting without screen on for three hours will loose me 20%. I have my phones screen brightness set to Auto and if I use it much, my battery usage goes up big time and screen seems to be the culprit. I like the Edge Apps but keep forgeting it is there to use. For those wondering, VoLTE is built in and seems to be enabled by default. I also think the wireless is messed up a bit. It seems very slow compared to how it used to be and actually seems slower than LTE. I am roaming right now so I'm not going to waste bandwidth to test it. Other than the new icons, nothing much else has changed...
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
Most of us trying to get the bootloader/radio are running custom 5.1.1 roms. Without the updated bootloader, fingerprint sensor does not work so that is what we are trying to get access to. Other than that, battery/performance issues have been mostly resolved with a custom rom/kernel combination. Even with poor/no signal areas with wifi/bt turned on, I idle at around 4%/hr drain. Not really interested in VoLTE at this point since if the party you are calling does not have VoLTE, it will just be a standard voice call.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] thuglifesk:
Yup cant wait for the boot-loader to get that fingerprint scanner working again. I sold my 32GB and got the 128GB and the buyer called me the week after complaining that the fingerprint sensor is not working. He thought that I sold him a bad phone. Then I had to explain things that went over his head.

Just flashed latest Modem and its working good. Thanks Mr. X and others that have contributed.

On AOG2 I found that sometimes when I get off a call I have to wait a while before making another call. The network would simply not connect.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] LNJ:
Why didn't you just Odin it back to stock 5.0.2 before you sold it?

Sent from my SM-G925F
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] brar.arsh:
Yes he should have done this. Bad
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] thuglifesk:
I was going to flash back to stock. Had a TWRP stock image stored on the device but the buyer liked the theme and other things like ad block and xposed modules.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
You were able to get xposed working on the 925w8? I've been trying for weeks and finally gave up. Thought I needed the 5.1.1 bootloader to get it to work.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
http://xdaforums.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3180960

There you go. Should work with any 5.1.1 deodexed rom(bootloader/modem is irrelevant). Install the zip and then install the xposed apk manually.

Make sure you download the arm64 version.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] cangrejon:
hello, as I install the bootloader, Modem 5.1.1 ??

Thank you
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
I tried both the v71 sdk22 by Wanam and the v71 by Wanam and arter. Tried them both. The first one caused bootloops and the second one never stuck. I finally just gave up.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
What rom are you using? I'm on xtrestolite 2.3 with arter's kernel and it's working flawlessly.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
I'm on SIXPERIENCE with unikernel. Tried arter's kernel too. No dice.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
Could be the ROM. Look through the xposed thread to see if someone else has it running on that rom. Perhaps, it is fixed now?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
So that's after flashing the latest xposed on xtrolite...
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
That's really weird. Did the phone rebuild cache on boot? Here is how mine looks.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] AegisValour:
So I have the 5.1.1 update on my phone and I'm looking to install XtreStoLite Deo-Mod Edition 2.3. I assume that with the updated bootloader to 5.1.1 I don't have to do anything else to it I assume.

What would also be the best way going around to rooting my device initially?

I assume I can just flash CF-auto root (using the F version of the S6E?) using ODIN and then install a custom recovery through ODIN as well.

If anyone can help me by answering this questions it would be much appreciated.

I also know I said I would help provide some files, but it appears there seems to an issue with the script. Since I'll be wiping my phone anyways I'll be able to help if there's an updated one.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
Flash TWRP from the Edge dev section or get the official one for zeroltetmo from twrp.me and flash that using Odin. The first page has a link for Odin 10.3.6.

There is a guide posted there as well, however, i believe the twrp link is old. That's why you'll need to get the latest one.

Once flashed, simply boot into recovery, flash ROM/Kernel and then you're set. The ROM is rooted so there's no need to flash the SuperSu package.

If you want to root stock, download the latest SuperSu beta from chainfire's website and flash that using TWRP.

This is one of the most straightforward ways of rooting any phone.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
I don't know why bro. I gave up. The Aroma add on from xtrolite does everything I wanted from xposed anyway.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] brar.arsh:
Before flashing other rom, can you please follow Mr X instructions from couple of pages back and see if you can extract bootloader for us.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] AegisValour:
Yeah I will, but I after I flashed recovery I can get into TWRP but it's a boot loop when entering the system.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] brar.arsh:
Which recovery did you flash?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] AegisValour:
I used this link here.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347765202

It was the one Mr. X provided I believe.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] brar.arsh:
Use this https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxys6edgetmobile.html
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] AegisValour:
No lucky either. Same result, I can access TWRP but I cannot get out of the boot loop.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] brar.arsh:
You are on G925W8 right?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] AegisValour:
100%

I'll see if I can find another way to fix it so that I can try and get the files , but I should be able to flash stock 5.02 on Sammobile to get a working phone again correct?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] LNJ:
Not if you are already on the 5.1.1 fw. No downgrades!

Sent from my SM-G925F
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] brar.arsh:
I was discussing this with some devs in a private group, so there are 2 ways to solve this:

1. Do a factory reset in twrp

If this doesn't work

2. Transfer XtreStoLite rom using adb and flash it.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] AegisValour:
I've been trying adb sideload for around 30mins now but it never seems to go past 'starting'. Is this why when I'm entering stuff into the command prompt it says 'sideload' instead of 'recovery'?

I've been following this walk though here.

http://highonandroid.com/android-ro...r-android-in-a-bootloop-with-no-os-using-adb/
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] iFaiLikeAmoSs:
I had the same problem a few weeks ago. You gotta 'adb push' the ROM/zip using cmd.

adb push file.zip /sdcard/.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] yeahitsgotahemii:
Have you tried wipe and reboot?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] AegisValour:
I've tried both side load and push.

Side load states that my adb needs to be 1.0.32 or newer.

push gives me 'error: closed'

I could also alternatively use and OTG cable but I don't have one on me.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
You need to use a newer adb binary. Are you on osx or windows?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] AegisValour:
Windows.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
Did you install an adb package so far on windows? If not, download this and install. You should be able to get adb sideload working.

https://github.com/koush/UniversalAdbDriver

Make sure you go into advanced -> adb sideload -> start and then run the sideload command from your computer.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] AegisValour:
Thanks a lot, I managed to side load it through and install it.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
No problem. Make sure you do a data wipe in twrp before booting or else you'll likely bootloop.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] brar.arsh:
Great that you got it working. Also try to run Mr X script to extract bootloader.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] AegisValour:
Here you guys go. Thanks for the help earlier.

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
Looks like it's another null dump. I guess we're SOL until the next wave of OTA's or someone secretly has the OTA zip lying around.

Thanks for trying though!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] brar.arsh:
Thanks for checking it out, hope they release it soon now.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
Null dump? SOL? What does that mean? No BL for us?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] -Mr. X-:
I'll look at if we have something we can do, today. But its looking like the BL areas are protected on the edge :/
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
If you open the cm.bin/sboot.bin with a text editor (Sublime/Notepad++), you'll see that the file is null. Basically whenever we have tried to dump the files, the bootloader always shows up as null even though the file is of the correct size. So we are out of luck until the next round of OTA's are out or someone has the S6 edge OTA update zip file that we can extract the bootloader from.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] brar.arsh:
Looking forward to test it out.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
OTA updates are live on Telus. A friend of mine got his this morning.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] linuxbman:
I'm on Telus and no update yet, but will keep checking. How do I grab the update.zip file when I do download it? Can I download the update, then before applying it copy it off? Where would i locate it? I just want to help any way I can.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] -Mr. X-:
Can some one accept the update, once downloaded, instead of installing back out of the install window. then navagate to /data/fota and grab the update.zip I cant get an edge ota on my s6

Edit: it does indeed look liek the telus CSC has OH8 ota being pushed i can see it but i cant grab it as i dont have a edge
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] brar.arsh:
Just keep checking bro, you will be a life saver for all of us. Mr X can ping it, so you can try restarting phone or something.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] -Mr. X-:
Are you stock or have you ever flashed custom roms. some of them bung up your CSC in efs.

If that happens the ota will not be presented to your. you can also typically manually check for updates under settings and start the download manually.

the app Phone Info for samsung should show you your csc.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] brar.arsh:
Wrong person quoted? :p

So if I have the original Rogers tar, can I try flashing it and changing csc to telus to download OTA?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] linuxbman:
[MENTION=1184946]mr-x[/MENTION]: I assume you meant to quote me; I am stock. no root, no custom ROM. I have manually checked repeatedly, nothing so far.

I've been checking every half hour since I saw that it was out for Telus. Tried rebooting and nothing yet.

I will keep checking.

I will get it.

I will upload it.

EDIT: I assume the fact that this was a Bell phone originally, then I unlocked it and am now on Telus should not matter. Am I right?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] -Mr. X-:
yep derp.

---------- Post added at 11:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 AM ----------

No this means you will not get the telus OTA, it checks mps_code.dat in efs to determine your update path. you'rs will be waiting for BMC updates.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] risx:
Is there a method to get the ota url from telus?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] linuxbman:
I assume I can't lock my phone to Telus some how can I?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] -Mr. X-:
You would have to root then edit /efs/imei/mps_code.dat with root explorer text editor to read TLS instead of BMC, then odin the AOCG stock tar. when booting it will detect the telus csc and provision it with the telus bloat and you will be presented telus ota updates.

---------- Post added at 11:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 AM ----------

you can get the url, but the server will not serve you a file unless its requested from the device. they run device checks now.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] xxmwxx:
I got the Telus update this morning (phone originally purchased from Wind, but changed the CSC to Telus). Still haven't installed it and I'd be happy to pull the update.zip for you guys but for some reason "adb pull /data/fota" or "adb pull /data/local/tmp" keeps returning 0 files... not sure why
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] linuxbman:
well poo.

Sorry everyone, for getting your hopes up.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] -Mr. X-:
Its most likely that you will need to root to have read access to this area of storage. I am not 100% though. but you would be doing every one a favor for sure.
