Thanks! It also seems as if the hotmail issue for Gmail has also been fixed, was something I was having problems on my Nexus device as well.

I guess by next week all should be fixed :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] GojiTronix:
I somehow doubt we'll be seeing it that soon. It could be months before we see marshmallow. Mostly due to us being Canadian. And secondly due to our carriers taking their sweet ass time to test and inject more bloatware into samsungs heavily bloated version of marshmallow.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] xstokerx:
I highly doubt months by next month at the latest the carrier im on dosent add anything to there software at least when i got this device it didnt come with any carrier bloat just basic sammy stuff. Idk ive always run nexus devices so this is only my first samsung main phone. I wish the 5x hadent been such a disappointment.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] GojiTronix:
Samsung is notoriously slow at updating their devices. I think it was October or November when we finally got 5.1.1 I'm with Bell
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] AllBlaxx:
That wasn't Samsung's doing, that was all on the carriers (it's been documented in this thread).

Anyway, Telus is saying S6 edge on March 16 and S6 on April 13. Wouldn't be surprised to see Bell & Rogers follow suit

http://forum.telus.com/t5/Mobility/Software-Update-Schedule/ta-p/53566
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] GojiTronix:
So you're saying that it's not samsungs doing that it took them more than half a year to get the 5.1.1 update into carriers hands? Lmao like I said Samsung is notoriously slow at updating their flagships. There is also a lawsuit against them for this very reason.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] AllBlaxx:
That lawsuit was regarding updating older devices against stagefright. Get real man.

Also, 5.1.1 for the S6 and S6 edge was rolling out from T-Mobile 6 weeks after Google released it for Nexus devices, not 6 months. http://www.sammobile.com/2015/06/15/android-5-1-1-starts-rolling-out-to-the-galaxy-s6-edge/

Just because you have a short memory and you're impatient doesn't mean you can just start making **** up
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] GojiTronix:
I'm talking about Canadian carriers. Not American. And yes we did wait quite a while longer here in Canada for our devices to be updated to 5.1.1 after the US. And it was a buggy update that was pulled and pulled again. Not making **** up. So take your keyboard warrior ass and shove it. It's my opinion. If you don't like it I could really care less so GFY kk thanks bye now. BTW the stagefright patch is still considered an update...so if you'd like to contradict yourself some more go right ahead. I'll be the one not paying attention to it. Mostly because I've added you to the ignore list.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] bmacneil001:
Help

Please help. Odin will not allow me to flash my stock firmware. Currently running a 5.1.1 rom but Odin will not allow me to flash my firmware.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
Do you get an error message? What image are you trying to flash and what's the current firmware the phone is on? What is the exact model of your device (on back glass)?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] bmacneil001:
Sorry for my noobiness but I'm not sure what you mean by image. And I have SM-G925W8. It gets stuck at " NAND write start"
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] heymanster:
I had problems installing an image via Odin and it turned out to be a flaky USB cable. Replaced and worked right away.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
What firmware file are you trying to flash. Are you sure it's for your phone and current or newer than the firmware you've flashed?

Also try switching to a usb 2.0 port. ODIN seems to be picky about certain 3.0 controllers.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] bmacneil001:
I'm pretty sure that I'm trying to flash 5.0.2 firmware. Which might be the problem but I cannot find and a 5.1.1 firmware for my phone
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
Do a quick search in thread for SamFirm. I posted a guide for how to use it a couple times in this thread and also in Canadian S6 thread. You can download stock firmware packages directly from Samsung using that.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] bmacneil001:
How can I find the link to your tutorial
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
---------- Post added at 12:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 AM ----------

Do a search in this thread only for SamFirm. You will see some posts. One of them has a guide on how to use it.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] bmacneil001:
So I just tried to flash the file and it now comes up with and error
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
What's the error?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] w2830:
Hey guys. Hope I don't get flamed for asking this... Does anyone know if there's any Marshmallow rom we can run on our phone? Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] AllBlaxx:
Good question. Been a while since I looked in the Android Development thread for the S6 edge (TIP: Typically the Android Development thread for each phone is where custom ROMs are posted -> http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6-edge/development)

Took a quick glance and it doesn't look like there's anything for us. We'll see if Telus comes through in a couple of weeks and if the rest of the carriers follow through shortly after
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] cripez:
Yeah I'm also anxious to get a custom MM rom that supports our phones too. Looks like we'll have to wait a bit longer
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Mitch.sc:
*incorrect link removed*
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] w2830:
Are you saying we can run this ROM on our 925w8? Couldn't tell from the description in the thread
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Mitch.sc:
2nd post lists W8 as supported.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jazenf:
The second post is for 5.1.1 roms not for 6.0.1 roms.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Mitch.sc:
Ah... well f*ck.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] w2830:
It's all about the bootloader which has to come from our carrier i guess
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] meniawy:
Hello Every one, i just purchased S6 Edge unlocked with Rogers. Can't find OEM unlock option in developers options. reflashed the stock, no way. Tried to flash Uni kernel, or CF-Auto root. All trials for flashing any custom BINARIES keep failing. Searched everywhere, couldn't figure out how.

Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks

Edit: i figured out, it was Reactivation Lock the one protecting against flash. I turned off inside the settings.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Mike.co:
I actually thought the 2nd post was talking about MM so I tried to flashed it on my Canadian s6 edge and ended up soft bricking it lol.

Telus delays Marshmallow updates for Galaxy S6 edge https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8wsxmhMcqc
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Tronix666:
This doesn't surprise me...
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] AllBlaxx:
Two weeks isn't bad. Bell tweeted someone today saying that the update is coming March 2016 but nothing specific
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] gangsta101:
I do solemnly declare, that I'll never buy a Canadian Samsung phone, ever again! So help me.

(Yeah, I know is said the same thing with the S4, but this time I'm dead serious. Lol)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] DevALT:
I think I'll do same for next seriously,

import/unlock pay more but worth it got more update and faster next time I'm buying a phone it's not a Canadian.

Devices Info:

S6 Edge

model: SM-G925W8 (Canadian variant)

version: 5.1.1 Stock ROM (Samsung TW)

kernel : UniKernel
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] bryan_tsoi:
agree, but one thing I concern is the F variant seems doesn't work with Wind Mobile

half year ago I was still using i9505 but it doesn't work with wind so I bought S6 Edge through eBay

Like the Android N rumoured launch in May but we still haven't got the previous version of in March

2.3% coverage makes sense in this situation but not acceptable
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] AllBlaxx:
I'm already counting down the days to the next Nexus device so I never have to go through anything like this again.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Tronix666:
From sticking up for Samsung to hating them within a few pages of posts? Lol too funny
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] AllBlaxx:
When did I direct any hate towards Samsung? My ire has always been directed towards the carriers and the amount of time it takes them to prepare, customize and test an Android update.

See here: http://www.afterdawn.com/news/artic...xplains_why_your_android_updates_take_so_long and here http://gizmodo.com/5987508/why-android-updates-are-so-slow

A Nexus device (even from a carrier) is unmolested, Galaxy Nexus notwithstanding, and is much easier to get your hands on than an unlocked, international version of a Samsung Galaxy S or Galaxy Note device in Canada.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Tronix666:
Well samsung is still slower than most other brands. 4 months so far since marshmallow was released. To be honest only reason I got this device was for its camera as I'm and artist and need to take quality pics on the go. But yeah I'm pretty sure I'll be getting a nexus device as well...so sick of waiting. Just hope the next one has a decent camera. Kinda makes me miss my HTC one. They have had the update for a while now.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] onebyside:
What exactly do you feel your missing?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Tronix666:
Mostly battery life. And obviously the new version of Android. I'm kinda techy I like my everything to be up to date. But that's just me. Everyone is different.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] wind784:
Only thing phone had going for it was the camera.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] DhiJay23:
Been apple user for 10years and being skeptical switching to android. My contract ended and went to get a samsung and so far im loving it. I know it takes time to get used to it but like I said the device is fast and 2responsive but the only thing I noticed is the battery life but is way better than apple. Im currently running 5.1.1 SM-G925W8 and would like to root and free my device but I dont know where to start. Is there a way or a thread that you can guys direct me to root my device without tripping the knox (as far as i know knox is important and something to do with the warranty). Sorry for my bad english. Thanks guys.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] DevALT:
I've been searching for long w/o finding any answers to this: how I can make my status bar clock to always show minutes -_- I hate it I mean when I go full screen landscape the clock just split and show only the hours number and I have to tap it to show the minutes number please tell me how to make it stop I searched Google/ setting DB / CSC features and I can't find a way to make it always shows minutes there is nothing more annoying to do than tap your status bar to see minutes wtf.

I can provide screen shot if this is not clear as I have not the best English

EDIT: For BELL user I followed the tweet from Bell saying that they will update to marshmallow in March , well they delayed the update, here the citation from Bell support Twitter

"Bell Support*‏@Bell_Support

[MENTION=2733827]twitterus[/MENTION]er Hi Daniel, we had to delay the launch. Hopefully, it will be released in next 2 to 3 weeks. ^MA"

They posted that answer on March 29 (7h00AM)

Hopefully they don't delay it again and that they will release it soon for us !

Devices Info:

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jazenf:
Has anyone here tried debranding there S6/S6 Edged

https://youtu.be/-ey2Qn_n0t4
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
Can do this easily already. Just flash the System partition of G925 F/I and then flash the audio patch for the W8 using TWRP over it. Leave the kernel as is from the stock W8 image and you're done.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] BottleB:
Anyone on Rogers with an unlocked S6 Edge from another carrier able to use voLTE?

rogers tech support says i cant since i dont have a rogers IMEI :(
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
Lol imei is device based and has nothing to do with carrier. Just flash the Rogers official image on your phone and make sure the Rogers csc is enabled. It will then give you VoLTE on Rogers.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] BottleB:
Currently on OK1 while latest rogers was OJ7..i have voLTE enabled in dialer. hope downgrade works!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
Just flash the system, boot, radio and you're set. Bootloader will likely not flash and fail downgrade
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] BottleB:
by only flashing these 3 my data shouldstay right?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] DhiJay23:
I got my s6 edge from MTS. What firmware should I use when I want to restore it back to stock? Thanks guys
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] BottleB:
Flashed oj7 tar from checkfus, still a no go! :(
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
You can't just flash the tar. You need to unpack it, and only flash system.img and modem.bin by creating tars for those partitions. Default package flashes bootloader too which is why you're failing.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] BottleB:
The flash went through fine. Fully Stock rogers official OJ7..

when you say failing you mean failing to volte?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
No. I thought it failed to flash. Also you should know that for VoLTE to work, both the caller and receiver must have VoLTE, otherwise it will just be a standard voice call.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] BottleB:
Yup. Escalated this to Rogers. They tried things and failed so they opened a ticket.

thanks for your time and support
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
Ah alright. Hopefully they sort it out.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ZackMJO:
Roms?

Hi i'm just wondering if there is any 6.01 roms for my S6 Edge available.

Device:

SM-G925W8 (Rogers)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
No
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Accraze:
Does this mean you debranded it? Im on rogers too and i also want to debrand mine so i can get ota quicker (6.0) haha :D
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] BottleB:
No debrand. just flashed oj7 which is rogers latest firmware
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Accraze:
ohh alright, thanks for the infos!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] gangsta101:
Strange no one replied you all this while. did u finally get started on your rooting journey?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] DhiJay23:
Finally someone noticed my post. :victory: I actually managed to root my device without tripping the Knox. I watched a lot of youtube videos to guide me,I guess everyone here is busy and overlooked my post. Anyways , Yahoo! My phone is rooted now and im enjoying exploring the phone and BTW I send the 1st phone back and got an exchanged because the battery drains really fast. Im running 5.0.2 rooted with pingpong. Im just wondering if I used a custom rom will it void my warranty? Thanks
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] gangsta101:
Glad you found your own way. that's the beauty of android, there are lots of tutorials online to help an industrious person find their way around.

On why no one responded, probably cos we are all bored with our canadian s6 edge now. every one else is rocking marshmallow and we are stuck in the 90s, lol. as for your question, well, the earlier builds on lollipop, (which you seem to be on) have a workaround for flashing custom ROMS without tripping knox, but i'd be really careful and read the fine prints. i think i didn't trip my knox until 5.11. good luck and flash at your own risk.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] DhiJay23:
Thanks brother. No Mallows for us yet.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] BottleB:
oh my.. [MENTION=4377503]evonc[/MENTION]
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] BottleB:
To anyone wondering...to use VoLTE with Rogers, you must purchase your device through them.

from Rogers FB suppory

"You're welcome. I'm sorry I could not help more but unfortunately it is a feature for only Rogers purchased devices currently."
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] thatsupnow:
That's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard! Is that for real??? Or is that just something they are programed to say?? Just another reason we need more competition in this country!! Oh wait I almost forgot that we live in Canada and competition will never exist up here, the joys of living in a corporation owned country. F'en pathetic!!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] BottleB:
6.0.1 out for S6 on tls and others
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] BottleB:

I know eh.

I tweeted to Rogers this AM and got this reply :

Bryan Dery &#8206 [MENTION=1092557]BottleB[/MENTION]

[MENTION=688535]rogers[/MENTION] Why do you block customers with their own VoLTE compatible device (S6 Edge) on a share everything plan from using it? (VoLTE) #volte

RogersHelps ✔ &#8206 [MENTION=688535]rogers[/MENTION]Helps

[MENTION=1092557]BottleB[/MENTION] Hello Bryan, we are working on having the issue fixed but I do not currently have an eta as to when that will be. ^Map

They say its an issue now...lol im confused
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] AllBlaxx:
S6 edge+ and Note 5.

http://mobilesyrup.com/2016/04/05/c...marshmallow-update-now-available-to-download/

On the bright side, Telus showing they can stick to a scheduled date
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] BottleB:
Standard S6 as well...dunno why Edge doesn't have it

EDIT: Misread SM-N920w8 for G920W8
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] thatsupnow:
Yeah what gives?? How do the other Galaxy devices have 6.0.1 but NOT the edge???
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] christopherrrg:
Any custom roms for G925W8?

Edit - nvmnd lol international Roms work with callfix.

Sorry, neglected xda rule number 1 - read.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] AllBlaxx:
Couldn't delete my comment but what I was going to say is that just the Note 5 and S6 edge+ have 6.0.1 in Canada right now. Just another week for the S6 edge and 10 days for the S6
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] oscarguzmanl95:
Hey! A quick question, I have a SM-G925W8, but the only language option it's english, any help with this? I need at least to have Spanish as an option (I'm Nicaraguan)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] DevALT:
On the play store there is a app made by wanam called language enabler download that, it's easy to use and it basically enable any language for your device or ROM :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Ludink:
Quick question! Is there any way to access recovery options apart from getting to recovery? I need to clear cache and partition but my phone is bricked and it is just not allowing me to access the recovery. I think I need to clear cache and partition to fix this, but I can't for the life of me get to the recovery. Yes, I have tried holding down power, vol up and home button many many times, so please is there another way to clear cache and partition?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] christopherrrg:
If you are rooted you could download an app called 'quick boot' then boot into recovery.

But if you're bricked obviously you can't so I would ODIN the latest factory firmware and if it doesn't work, try doing it with the addition of smart switch.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] christx:
Try using adb

example:

rm -r /data/dalvik-cache

rm -r /cache/dalvik-cache
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Accraze:
I think this website is legit yet im not sure but it contains 6.0.1 update for lots of Canadian brands (not rogers unfortunately) http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=SM-G928W8

what carrier is this?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Cyclops1055:
Marshmallow is out for Bell, Sasktel, Eastlink, Videotron and Virgin mobile on Sam Mobile
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
ESK image. All Canadian images are identical for all carriers. Bloat is applied via CSC. Can be flashed on any Canadian Device.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] christx:
If on Rogers, unlocked phone, flash ESK image, Rogers bloat will be applied?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Cyclops1055:
Is this to be installed using ODIN?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
Yes.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] christopherrrg:
I used this image on Rogers.

Just bell bloat.

Also STILL missing data toggle lol :(
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] christx:
Do we need to be unlocked to flash other carriers?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] BottleB:
No.

Just flash via Odin.

edit CSC via Phone Info from playstore if needed.

be careful though. changing csc will wipe your phone!!!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] christopherrrg:
Nope, mine is locked to Rogers.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] christx:
VoLTE working?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] BottleB:
Not here...but it never worked!

Unlocked S6Edge in Rogers!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Cyclops1055:
I haven't flashed a phone with Odin in a long time, does it wipe the phone? I don't remember if it does or not
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] BottleB:
all my data was intact.

Ah I'm with ChatR so I can't confirm. Sorry!

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] anuben:
Buddy could you please guide me here.. I am currently on wind and rooted. i want to flash 6.0 how can i go for it?

Can you please list out the steps ?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] BottleB:
Here's what I did :

1 - Download latest PC5 tar listed by Yvonc or whatever source you want.

2 - unzip to get .tar file

3 - reboot to download mode on your phone

4 - Fire up Odin and plug phone with a reliable cable.

5 - load file in AP slot.

Start
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] christopherrrg:
Use Odin with the bell factory image.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] anuben:
Thank you very much.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] christx:
You beat me to it :angel:

Ram usage is down 20-25%, holy.

edit:ram back around 81% again ah well
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ktbee:
Wow, what a difference marshmallow makes! The phone feels smoother and ram management is waaaayyy better! Now, does anyone know how to flash TWRP and root?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] anonymous13:
ditto - does anyone know how to root the phone once we've upgrade to marshmallow?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
Was able to root by using the CF-AutoRoot package for SM-G925F for 6.0.1 . TWRP isn't booting as I'm assuming it requires a newer build once sources are out.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] w2830:
This is a exciting day. Been eyeing on news for the update literally everyday lol To the question, not being able to boot into TWRP. Does it mean we are out of luck for flashing those custom roms available on the forum now?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
Until we have an updated build of TWRP for S6/E for either the Canadian or TMO variant, we are out of luck. I attempted to flash the SM-G925F twrp, however, it refuses to boot as well.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] thatsupnow:
Sadly the newest T-MO twrp doesn't boot either! tried 3.0.0, 3.0.1 and 3.0.2. I even tried going back to 2.8.7.1 and that was no good. it looks as tho were SOL for a bit!!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] thatsupnow:
You can root 6.0.1 with cf auto root using sm-g925F file. The W8 file is only for 5.1.1
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] iMonty:
Hey guys,

I can't wait anymore for fido's update.

would it be fine If I flash Bell's Marshmallow ? or any other carrier ? or I have to wait ?

Unlocked G925W8
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] christopherrrg:
This put me in a bootloop, what did you do?

---------- Post added at 11:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 PM ----------

Yes it just includes the other carriers bloat.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] thatsupnow:
I used cfauto root for the sm-g925F and it worked great. It should boot loop like 3-4 times then finally it'll boot into android
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] iMonty:
Is there a fast website I can download the firmware with ?

SamMobile is really slow and I can't trust shaw Internet with direct downloads.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] thatsupnow:
Use arter twrp recovery. http://www.arter97.com/browse/S6/kernel/13.0/g925fi/
