[Galaxy S6 Edge General] taylorheaps:
its asking me for my s/n / is that my imei?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] GojiTronix:
Weird I haven't had it ask me for my Sn before, make sure you are choosing the proper place.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] GojiTronix:
Here
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] taylorheaps:
when you recovered your phone was it recognized? when i plug my phone in i cant view my device but i can go to device installation.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] GojiTronix:
Mine was recognized you can find your Sn in settings /about on your phone
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
If the phone is plugged in and can't communicate, it asks for your s/n so that it can pull the correct firmware for your device including the correct csc.

You can get it by entering *#06# from dialer or by checking your box. Also present in the About Device option in settings depending on your firmware/rom.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] taylorheaps:
i cannot boot into my phone. at all. thats what im trying to fix

---------- Post added at 12:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 AM ----------

s/n is imei correct? i tried entering it
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] GojiTronix:
The serial number may also be on the back of the device at the bottom in really small writing
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] taylorheaps:
have tried that aswell. i just had the phone replaced yesterday, maybe its not in the system or something?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] GojiTronix:
Really not to sure. I still have my original device. And still have the box that it came in which has the serial number on it.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
Nope. Different number entirely. Check the box. It will have the value.

If you have already flashed the 5.1.1 bootloader, you'll have to flash a custom 5.1.1 ROM. A 5.0.2 stock system image will not boot with the newest bootloader. If you are still with the older 5.0.2 bootloader, you'll be able to flash the older system image. I have the links posted for the latest 5.0.2 full factory image (A0G2) in this thread. You should be able to download and flash that image. It will flash fine. You'll probably have to boot into recovery and wipe data (not internal storage). Flashing the full factory image will wipe the device entirely including internal storage.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] GojiTronix:
Does the device turn on at all?

---------- Post added at 05:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 PM ----------

Another option is the boot into recovery and do a factory reset. That's what got me out of my bootloop
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] thuglifesk:
Which rom were u on when u tried to flash bootloader.

---------- Post added at 08:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 PM ----------

Flash back to 5.0.2 bl and then flash AOG2 stock image
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] taylorheaps:
i was on a stock rom when i flashed the 5.1.1 bootloader. can i flash my rom with odin? how do i convert the zip to a tar.

---------- Post added at 04:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 AM ----------

i flashed a 5.1.1 bootloader while i was on a stock 5.0.2 firmware so unfortunatly i cannot flash the stock firmware
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] taylorheaps:
where on the box is this s/n?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] GojiTronix:
Try booting into recovery and doing a factory reset, then restart. If you are able to get back into your phone find the serial number and write it down so you can use smartswitch to restore your phone. Otherwise unzip the stock firmware tar file is inside. Then Try to use Odin to flash it. Hopefully one of these things will work for you.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] taylorheaps:
at the moment i can only boot into download mode and anything else i get a screen that says an error has occurred and that i must use the emergency recovery function via smart switch
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] GojiTronix:
Sn is on a small sticker with imei inside the box somewhere. I just looked and that's where I found mine.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] taylorheaps:
IS it this sticker? i tried all these numbers
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] GojiTronix:
Nope it's a smaller sticker. I found mine inside the box. Which may have been on the plastic covering your phone was in when you got it. I peeled mine off of something and stuck it to the top inside of my box. So I'm not exactly sure where to find it originally as I first opened mine months ago.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] GojiTronix:
It looks like this
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] taylorheaps:
wow. that was on the back of my phone that i peeled off and threw out. i was lucky enough to find it though, i entered it and am now in the process of a software update via smart switch. thank you so much. i think that might have solved my issue.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] GojiTronix:
Nice! Glad that I could help. Hopefully you're able to restore it.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] taylorheaps:
was able to restore. you're a life saver man
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] EnIXmA:
just got the shipping confirmation from Bell. I pre-ordered on the 11th of March through Bell's website

proof of shipping notice:-

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Dimitri.k:
Very nice! I am sure Rogers will ship them out tonight or tomorrow night for Friday mid day delivery
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
Just got my shipping confirmation from Rogers. Dimitri you're not far behind.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Dimitri.k:
Got mine too! I was posting it on the Rogers community forums!. Glad to see we will all get them Friday!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Sevael:
Hopefully! I have a bad feeling about mine. Shipping tends to err on the slow side when it comes to Winnipeg...

Whether they call me or not, I'm walking in on Friday and asking if they have stock..
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] johentie:
still gotta wait till April 30th ; <

and i'm a business customer so even longer ; <
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ex-28:
in winnipeg as well here have the reg and a edge 64 gig version on preorder , just not sure what one im going to take home yet. kinda leaning towards non edge version.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Sevael:
Same here. I made that decision quite a while after pre-ordering the edge, so I didn't bother changing it in fear of being placed too far back in line to get one on launch day.

I figure I'll walk in on Friday and ask if they have regular S6s available in the color I want. If so, I'll snap one up and cancel the edge reservation. If not, I'll take the edge I reserved (if it's in yet) and then return it when they have regular S6s in stock.

Update:

The tracking information was updated just a few minutes ago with a scheduled delivery date:

Great news! :good:
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Hendrycks:
That's sick, congrats! When did you pre-order your S6 Edge? I'm trying to figure out if I'll be getting mine at launch, I only pre-ordered on April 2nd.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Sevael:
I pre-ordered on March 2. I was 16th in line according to the reservation system.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Hendrycks:
Damn. I wish Telus had a better reservation system. Since April 2nd it's just been saying "Order Approved." No other info's been provided.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jazenf:
I'm with rogers and they provided a tracking number, which says that it will be delivered today.. So I hope I get a call from the Rogers store telling me to come an get my tings.. :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Hendrycks:
God damn lol. When'd you pre-order?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jazenf:
I signed up late March, an I was number 209.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] DrAkO82:
Still no sign from Videotron here in Quebec.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
Mine arrived at the terminal today too. Yeah! I'm with Rogers and I was first in line.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Dimitri.k:
You won't get it today unfortunately.. The system won't allow the sell or upgrade as its not the launch date. Unless Rogers head office with Samsung allowed it to be sold today which i highly doubt, u will have to wait until tomorrow to get it.

Mine is being delivered to the store of my choice today as well.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] alexforget82:
Ok got voice message from Vidéotron that my s6 edge got shipped today.

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] baoli:
Is "Navigate To" working for anyone? It just performs a google search now since the update last week.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] avong:
I don't know if this has been answered yet but if i have a rogers S6 Edge am I able to flash it to a Bell Rom or even the Stock Rom straight from Samsung? I'm actually a Wind customer and my rogers has alot of rogers bloat ware which is useless to me and i can't even uninstall it.

Also is there a link to the Wind Rom? I think wind has less bloat ware on their roms.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] GojiTronix:
They're all full of bloatware lol
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] avong:
lol true, but at lease with a Wind rom i can make use of some of wind's bloatware.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] GojiTronix:
You can find the wind firmware on sammobile.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] LNJ:
Did it restore to a 5.0.2 fw or a 5.1.1 fw?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] badboyz8711:
I'm on the xtrestolite 2.3 but i don't get the notification from Gmail and other apps. Does anyone have encountered this problem and what's the solution other than switching rom? (not sure if I posted on the right thread)

Thx for the help
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] GojiTronix:
Mine restored to 5.02 I'm with bell.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] spiderlily:
You don't need to flash any roms, all Canadian S6 Edge Pluses have the same firmware. Carrier bloatware is determined by the CSC. Hence, all you need to do is to change the CSC.

Type *#272*IMEI# in the phone app and you will be greeted with a list of CSC. (GLW is Wind btw) Choose the applicable CSC and the phone will restart and FACTORY RESET and install the selected carrier software.

AGAIN, THIS WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
I'm on that rom too with no issues. It's got nothing to do with the rom.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] avong:
oh awesome thanks!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] GojiTronix:
Thanks a bunch! I used this to switch to telus grab the 5.1.1 update and the switched back to bell! Sneaky sneaky
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] spiderlily:
Glad I can help. :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jproy12:
How's the latest 5.1.1 update on Telus? How's battery and the overall performance of the phone?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] GojiTronix:
So far it seems a lot better, not too sure on battery life as of yet as I just updated last night but seems pretty decent do far. I haven't had any lagging with the device since I updated and app edge is nice.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] thismonk:
I am seeing no update on my S6 Edge (Latest updates are installed when checking manually). But I'm definitely still on 5.0.2. Any way to force it? Even when I connect with Smart Switch it doesn't see the updates.

I was rooted and it told me that my system was modified before, so I loaded the factory image with 5.0.2 again to restore the original firmware and now updates work but it doesn't actually find the update. What gives?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] GojiTronix:
Yes you can look a few posts above yours
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] thismonk:
Are you referring to the CSC method up above? If so, I am already on Telus so is this really going to do anything for me? I'm not really looking to spoof it and get the update for a non-Telus phone.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] GojiTronix:
It's was. Sorry I haven't run into that problem before. Is everything completely stock such as your recovery and bootloader? Have you tried booting into recovery doing a factory reset and wiping the cache?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ricomtl:
Hopefully someone can shed some light on this.

I have the S6 Edge with Bell (SM-G925W) which was CF auto rooted since Day 1. I suddenly had major bluetooth/deep sleep issues so I unrooted the phone and performed a factory reset through the device, then restored everything through Smart Switch. I also grabbed the 5.0.2 OTA update as well and kept the phone unrooted for the moment.

I noticed the phone used to show H+ or LTE for network, and now I see it keeps switching 3G, H+ and 4G and never LTE. I had never seen the 3G and 4G network icon on my phone before! Any explanation? :confused:

When I check online, there are 2 firmwares for this phone, one dated August 2015 (G925W8VLU2AOG2) and May 2015 (G925W8VLU1AOE1). My phone is currently on the AOG2. Which one should I be on, May or August?

Thank you!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
4G=LTE.

Certain firmwares use different symbols to show network status. If you're rooted, you can use some csc tweaks to have it show LTE instead of 4G.

The switch between 3G and H+ is due to fast dormancy to save power or if you're in a zone that has poor reception. You'll see your phone will generally be in 3G and switch to H+ when you're transmitting/receiving data.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ricomtl:
Thanks a lot! :) You are right, the switch between 3G & H+ is happening indoors, however before the factory reset and unroot, I never ONCE saw the 3G or 4G icon. If that's all due to firmware and those network icons are translating into same speeds, then I won't worry too much. For some reason, I just assumed that 4G was slower than LTE. I did a speed test yesterday at 4G, and I got 65.5mbps download & 17 upload.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] thismonk:
Never flashed the bootloader. When i go into download mode to reload the factory image it says samsung official.

Ive trid the factory reset and cache wipe. When i try to do emergency initialization in smart switch it says "this devices version cannot be updated" and theres nothing on google for that error so rgat is worrying!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] GojiTronix:
Hmmm that seems strange that it won't even let you use smartswitch to try and restore it.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] gp-se:
I have the same issue with smartswitch, we wont get it to work until all Canadian Carriers release the new firmware. I am having issues with my S6 also, tried to use smartswitch to restore, but get the same error as you. My phone is completely stock, running Rogers 5.1.1 OTA
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] toastyy:
I'm with Telus and have recently flashed to stock to unroot but I haven't been prompted to update from 5.0.2 to 5.1.1. I can't force the update through the About Phone menu either, it says my phone is up to date. Any idea why this is or how to prompt the update?

Edit: I noticed thismonk had a similar problem. Have you found a solution yet?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] elena11:
I am on Bell and used this method. It worked fine and the 5.11 is running much faster than 5.02. The only problem that I have now is that light sensor doesn't work properly. During a call even when I don't have the phone on my ear the screen is black. I have to press home button to see thw screen. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] thismonk:
What I had to do was an emergency initialization but from within Kies instead of smart switch. It asked for my model number and serial number and then loaded 5.0.2 again from the Samsung repository and that let me do the ota update.

It wiped all my data which wasn't unexpected but I tried everything and this was the only way I got movement.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] spiderlily:
I had that bug happened to me once too. Try clearing the phone app cache (go into settings) and clearing cache in the recovery mode (turn off phone first and then power button + home button + volume up). Also clean the sensor area just in case.

You can also test to see if the proximity sensor is broken by dialing *#0*# and choose Sensor. Wave your hands above the proximity sensor. If the display turns green and buzzes, the sensor is working properly.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] elena11:
Thank you for your suggestion. I did clear the cache before, and I did it again, but still the same problem. And I tested the sensor as you mentioned and it is working fine. Sadly I guess I have to wait for the Bell update to come and fix the problem.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] spiderlily:
You can perform a factory reset in the meanwhile if you don't mind the trouble.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] elena11:
Thank you for the suggestion. When I updated to 5.11 under Telus, I did go back to Bell CSC and it did reset to factory default at that time. So I guess doing it again, might not help.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
He guys I just realized my texts are delayed by 1 hour and my calls are going straight to voicemail. I'm running extrolite with the 5.1.1 bootloader and modem. I don't usually get calls during the week so it could have been going on for a while without me noticing. I thing I read someone else complaining about it but I'm unable to find it. Any fixes?

Edit:

Toggling airplane mode seems to have fixed the issue. For now.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] thuglifesk:
This is a known issue. Go back to AOG2 modem
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrnovanova:
Just did that and everything's fine. Thanks :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] thuglifesk:
Anytime bro. I figured it out the hard way after flashing my phone literally 30 times in one day with different roms. New sim card. Few hours on the phone *****ing to rogers and another few with Samsung. All that to find the simplest fix ever that no one could figure out.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] bekham76:
Do you have the link please and will it affect anything if I am on xstrolite?

Thx
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] krazycanuck82:
I linked the modem in this thread http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6-edge...oader-twrp-t3196595/post62869202#post62869202
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] brar.arsh:
It works fine for me on Rogers, exactly same modem and Rom.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] GojiTronix:
I'm on stock 5.1.1 no root am I able to flash the modem using Odin or is there more steps I need to take? Just been having network issues since I updated . Mostly data issues.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] craig0r:
That's a good question, and I'm sorry I don't have a definitive answer for you (although I'm like 90% sure it shouldn't be a problem.)

Are you on Rogers? Even after I went back to the old modem (I'm rooted/non-stock), I've still been having issues. While I'm on wifi, some calls haven't rang to my phone and some texts get seriously delayed. I think, as has been suggested, that it has more to do with Rogers back-end than the modem on the phone. The VoLTE rollout apparently hasn't gone smoothly.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] GojiTronix:
I'm actually with Bell. I changed my csc and snagged the telus 5.1.1 update. Then changed the csc back to bell. I don't have issues with calls or sms just mobile data seems to freeze alot so i have to toggle airplane mode to get it working again.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] craig0r:
Oh weird. I had that happen to me this morning, but it was the first time I noticed it. And on the old modem, with Rogers. Maybe just coincidence. If you do roll back your modem, let us all know how it goes for you. I'm planning on going back to stock when Rogers rolls out their update as I'm tired of the uncertainty. If the problem remains, I might go to a Sony Z5. It's ridiculous how long this update has taken to get to us.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] GojiTronix:
If I keep having issues I'll probably end up going with the new nexus 5 providing the camera on it is decent. I require a decent camera due to my line of work. Its pretty much the main reason that I chose this phone. But yeah I'm kinda fed up with the waiting and waiting and more waiting for samsung to deliver updates that are sub par and full of bugs. You'd think after 6 galaxy s's that they would have things figured out by now. Kinda missing my HTC and the 90 days promises about now lol
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] vintr:
Anyone know if flashing the rogers modem will trip knox? Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] TheLastMirana:
Not sure if you guys can help but i already posted on the Q & A section atleast 3 times with no help.

So recently I have been having random reboots for my s6 edge (SM-G925W8) running G925W8VLU2AOG2 stock

It happens whenever I connect to my school's wifi specifically! When I am at home or some other place and i connect to the wifi everything is fine but as soon as I connect school's one it goes into a rebooting loop

Troubleshooting steps I have taken

- FULL factory reset with ODIN (wiped everything)

- Tried Safe mode didnt help.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] avong:
So i finally got around to changing the CSC to Wind (GLW) and guess what Wind has no bloat ware on their CSC unlike rogers which the phone was originally with had a bunch of rogers service apps preloaded while Wind had non lol

Anyways I haven't gotten any 5.1.1 OTA yet nether on rogers or wind is it still being rolled out? Last i read it was halt due to a bug.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] GojiTronix:
I successfully rolled my modem back using Odin I'll post an update later to let you all know if I have noticed any changes.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] craig0r:
Yeah, Telus is the only carrier who's pushed it out so far. (Other than the Rogers rollout that was halted.)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] kogyaru:
this link doesn't work ( 404)

mind fixing it please?

i'm on bell s6 edge and i'm dying for a 5.1.1 update 5.0.2 sucks ):

so once i get that zip i can just update to 5.1.1?

I've been trying all day yesterday rooting my phone trying to install a 5.1.1 custom rom only to realize i'm on BMC ( bell s6 edge) and i need 5.1.1 update to get that custom rom working

would appreciate if i can get a method to get 5.1.1 update on my s6 edge ( I tripped knox)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] GojiTronix:

Thanks I've done this and successfully flashed a custom 5.1.1 rom ( capsule note 5/s6 edge+) such nice dpi and the phone is blazing fast love it.

From Bell perma stuck on 5.0.2 tripped knox and upgrade to 5.1.1 custom rom was well worth the trade off.

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
If you want faster speeds, you can fetch the file directly from Samsung servers using SamFirm.

Link: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647

Set it up by entering SM-G925W8 in the Model field and ESK in Region field.

Select Auto and Decrypt Automatically and press Check Update.

Once the fields populate with info, press download and it will start downloading.

After the download finishes there will be a zip file in the Samfirm folder where you extracted it.

Extract the zip file and it will give you a .tar.md5 file

You need to extract that .tar.md5 file using 7zip and it will provide you with all the partitions. They are not ODIN flashable!
