I can confirm that arter twrp recovery works. After flashing arter twrp recovery in Odin, let your device reboot normally and then reboot in recovery and flash the latest SuperSu, then let your device reboot. That worked for me.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ktbee:
Yes that one worked for me! Thanks, now to flash xposed!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] BottleB:
kinda off/on topic... Anyone own a mazda 3 here? Ever since lollipop my metadata isn't displayed on my in car headunit. worked fine using aosp builds w my note 2 but never worked on my S6...read it had to do with samsung using their own bt stack?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] w2830:
Does it mean we can flash custom roms now?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] AllBlaxx:
I used the firmware that was posted earlier today (I believe it was Eastlink (ESK)) and it did not include any bloatware thankfully
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] bryan_tsoi:
I am downloading an update

I am using GLW G925W8 and I just received the update notification

its 1224MB probably its a system update

Update: According to SamMobile

6.0.1 for G925W8 is available now!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] nightsaber:
Cannot say for all custom rom, but i'm running XtreStoLite 3.1 right now and all seem to be functional.

(minus incall audio... but i guess with variant t & w8 out... shouldnt be long for a patch)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] christopherrrg:
Ahhhhh okay! I got impatient [emoji12] thanks!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] w2830:
Great! That's exactly the rom I'm going after. Thanks for the info! Gonna try it once I get home
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] christx:
I can confirm no bloat using the ESK firmware :good:
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] BottleB:
Aren't they all the same? Bloat is applied via CSC no?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] DhiJay23:
Quick question. This is my 1st android device. Do I have to save my firmware or blobs like iphone SHSH blobs just in case we do something wrong/bricked phone or I can always go back to old firmware? Right now im running 5.0.2 with pingpong root and I wanted my warranty intact. I know you can root marshmallow but can you root it withoung tripping the knox? Thanks guys.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] anonymous13:
Are you guya finding that call audio doesnt work with the xtresrolite rom?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] thatsupnow:
Yeah we need an audio patch for 6.0.1
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] w2830:
Sorry, buy what exactly does not work? no sound at all when calling?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] thatsupnow:
Yeah it's just silence
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] christopherrrg:
I just used titanium to debloat stock rom with CF Autoroot for now until the kernel devs incorporate the call fix for 925W8.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] BottleB:
Package Disabler Pro works wonders as well. No root needed
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] christopherrrg:
Ah I'm the kinda guy who finds having 'disabled' apps to be annoying.

To each their own, and your method costs money. [emoji14]
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] linuxbman:
I just followed these steps, everything worked wonderfully (once I got Odin to work properly). Thank you!

Seems good so far, nice to finally have Marshmellow on this device!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] BottleB:
They dont show up as disabled. they disappear! But yes, Titanium backup is usually what i used when i had root....makes me think my 1 year warranty is up with samsung...time to root!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] christopherrrg:
Oooooh apologize for being ignorant, I had assumed you could still see them. Maybe next time I scoop a play card I'll check that app out! Good option for people who enjoy Knox.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] DhiJay23:
Bump
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
No need to save blobs and you can't downgrade or root without tripping knox.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Bossswag187:
Which csc code do I need to switch to, to get the 6.0.1 update. I can't flash through odin on my mac. I don't know when I'll get the update through wind mobile so I'll just have to wipe data and download through a different carrier.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] w2830:
Can't answer the question about the csc code. But you won't lose any data nor the need of a factory reset when you flash the firmware over the old one. At least thats my case. I flashed mm over a custom lollipop rom. Everything working fine so far as far as I can tell
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] LuffyxBomber:
As much as I want to update, I don't think I will until there is a way to get the Mobile Data quick toggle back. I did a bit of searching but haven't come across any app that can do this on Marshmallow yet, maybe someone here knows?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] christx:
No need to switch csc.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] BottleB:
Keep in mind if you switch CSC your phone WILL get wiped
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Accraze:
Im locked on rogers too, does it trip knox? I don't think so but i want to make sure
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] BottleB:
Switching CSC doesnt touch Knox.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Accraze:
Alright, thank you!

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] LuffyxBomber:
Yeah saw that, a TMobile 6.0.1 owner on the 4th page already mentioned that it's not working for him. Thanks anyway!

Edit: I'll try Xtrestolite, maybe it will have the Mobile Data toggle by default. Does anyone know if it's possible to return back to 5.1.1 via TWRP backup if I need to?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] evonc:
Once you've flashed the 6.0.1 bootloader, you will not be able to return to 5.1.1 . 6.0.1 system image may not boot with a 5.1.1 bootloader and 5.1.1 system may not boot with a 6.0.1 bootloader.

Bootloaeers cannot be downgraded.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] LuffyxBomber:
Thanks for the quick reply! You've all been helpful.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] DevALT:
Hey I founded like a year ago a way to add any quick toggle into your notification panel (I assume you talking about that toggle)

Worked on my s4 back in the time and also on my s6 5.1.1, I guess it can work on 6.0.1

YOU NEED TO BE ROOTED

Here are the steps I used:

1. Download the Sqlite Editor app yea it's a paid app but well you know how it works right? ;)

2. After it's download, it will ask for root permissions, click Grant and it should load the databases.

3. Go to the FILES tab

4. Click on data,

then after it opens up

, look for data again

5. After that happens, scroll down the list till you find com.android.providers.settings and click on it

6. Click on databases and then click on settings.db

7. After you click on settings.db, then you will see a short list, click on system and it should open up a long list

8. Look for

notification_panel_active_app_list

. It will be near to the bottom of the list.

WARNING:There is also a line called : notification_panel_default_active_app_list

This is not the one we want!!

Make sure it says

notification_panel_active_app_list

(on my phone under _id the number was 754 idk how it work but might not be the same for you)

​

9. Once you founded notification_panel_active_app_list click and hold it till a sub menu pops up, then click on Edit Record

10. You're going to see a bunch of thing under

value

should look a bit like that (thoses are mine)

11. At the end of that list, make sure there is a ; after the last word. Then enter MobileData and put ; right after it. No spaces.

12. It should look like this:

btw I see some random space in both of quote above, note that there is no space, it seem glitched cause when i go to edit that well there is no space XD

13. Now click Save, Reboot the phone and when it comes back up, you should have a MobileData toggle in your notification panel in your settings

This worked for me since android kitkat update on all samsung phone (did my friends phone too) and also worked on my GS6 5.1.1

I'm pretty sure this will work for 6.0.1

I did not created this method and I can't find the video where I learned it, I had to do that pretty often so now it's all in my memory, i'm just sharing.

Press thanks if this helped

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] christopherrrg:
I have been following your posts and I've seen a few users try and aim you in the right direction.

Please follow these instructions.

1. Google 'ODIN v3'

2. Download 'ODIN v3'

3. Google 'sammobile firmware'

4. Find relative device version. (Flashing a different carrier does NOT matter.)

5. Download firmware.

6. Boot up odin, make sure only AP is selected and then pick your image. (Don't click start.)

7. Connect device to PC in download mode. (Vol - & home & power)

8. Click 'start' on Odin.

9. Wait.

10. Profit.

(I only send this as I'm unaware of how to use smart switch as Odin has helped me accomplish everything smart switch does.)

Thank you so much. Forgive me,This is my first android device and Im trying to be cautious as much as possible and everything is new to me. I actually managed to root my device with pingpong with all your guys helped but with the new firmware I find it a little tricky for me and again I apologize for asking too much questions. :angel:
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Willowbeast:
I tried over and over to flash mm on my s6e with Odin using the link provided earlier. And no go. Keep getting fail. Not sure what it is that is not working.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] christopherrrg:
Never apologize for being curious! I just figured I'd mention you should attempt the factory image first and then try back here. We are all glad to help out and I totally understand a 300$+ phone is not something you want to just take a crack at but aslong as your bootloader is locked and you flash official firmware you should be okay. :)

---------- Post added at 04:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 AM ----------

Check your USB cable.

I find my Xbox USB cord doesn't give enough power for odin to recognize on PC so I have to use a crappy old USB but I'm guessing it is higher powered. Fiddle around because the link posted was official bell. (Just mirrored & extracted because sammobile is poop for DL speed. ) md5 should check out. :)

(Mentioned Xbox cord because that's my charging cord whenever I can't find the fast charge stuff.)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Willowbeast:
I've tried two cables no go. Odin sees my device, starts the process then fail. I'm not a tech dummy. I come from years of installing leaks on my blackberries. So I have an idea of what I'm doing. I even tried a different version of Odin. No go. I'd like to get this working as I'm on locked to Rogers and don't want to wait.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] BottleB:
You could use phone info to change your csc...involves wipe
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] christopherrrg:
Okay well if your Odin is failing on the flash maybe you're using the incorrect image model.

AFAIK I'm a bit of a tech dummy so I don't know.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] AllBlaxx:
Which firmware are you using? I am on Rogers as well and it worked fine for me with the Eastlink firmware (the Eastlink firmware also doesn't include any bloatware)

SM-G925W8 Root Method

Hey I don't know if you guys know, but you can actually root the Canadian SM-G925W8 using cf auto root for the non-edge T-Mobile S6, SM-G920T. The T-Mobile S6 edge package will actually brick your phone, so it may sound strange, but you have to use the non-edge T-Mobile package.

Just be warned that is does trip Knox, void your warranty, and you loose OTA updates, and I'm not responsible for bricks.

Hope this helps a few of you out .
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] R1CKJ4MES:
Can somebody confirm this method!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] johentie:
anyone a Rogers Small business customer waiting for the GOLD model ?

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Switch Blade:
I wouldn't flash anything until the factory firmware is available. As of right now sammobile does NOT have an SM-G925W8 firmware.

Also heard to solve the deep sleep issue with Rooted Edge's you need to flash back the stock recovery.

Im trying to install a TWRP recovery and it gives me this error.

and this when im holding the vol up,home and power buttons.

any ideas?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] southsideswaggar:
Odin issues can be a few things. 1. Try different phone cable, 2. Check proper COM port set on phone in device manager, 3. Use application usbdeview to uninstall any traces of old phone/android/tablet connections then reconnect for a fresh install 4. Try alternate usb port 5. Usb debugging enabled 6. Try different Odin version 7. Uninstall drivers, reboot, reinstall drivers, reboot, then try. 8. Pray like never before! ;) best of luck.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Willowbeast:
I'll give this a try. Like I said it finds my phone and starts to load then it says fail. Just strange. My phone is stock just got it two weeks ago.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] AllBlaxx:
If you need to grab the firmware from another source, they are all posted here on SamMobile. I'll warn you though, their free download speeds are ass

I tried the link that you posted and I flashed the tar.md5 using Odin and still stucked on the "Kernel Is NOT seandroid enforcing" message. This is the kernel I used btw

. Did I downloaded and used the wrong one?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] christopherrrg:
Yeah, download the recovery. Not the kernel.

PS. That red text message will show for custom 5.1.1 kernels. Once you flash a MM kernel it will be se enforced.

ALSO once twrp is flash it is normal to see the red text saying Recovery is not seandroid blah blah.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] DhiJay23:
gotcha. And can I use CF-Auto root after and install TWRP after?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] christopherrrg:
Sorry I have a bad habit of editing my posts quickly lol

---------- Post added at 12:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 AM ----------

Ah that's why you got the kernel changed because of cf. With the new recovery and images you can just flash supersu beta. Cf auto root is good when you want to root stock. If that's in fact what you're doing then flash stock ROM and without flashing twrp use odin to send cf auto root. It should work, let it boot once and then check root. :) cf auto root makes a custom boot image for root and then flashes stock image back usually, something may have went wrong for ya. (Making kernel seandroid)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] DhiJay23:
your actually very helpful and response to my errors right away, I appreciate it. Anyways can I use CF-Auto root after I flash the kernel and install TWRP and install a recovery?

Never mind, your reply very quick. lol
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] christopherrrg:
He he yeah bad habit on mobile. My internet connection is pretty decent. I would do this to be easiest for ya.

1. Use Odin to flash factory image.

2. Let factory image boot & run setup.

3. Shut down device.

4. Put device into download mode and then flash the recovery with Odin. (AP)

5. Device will automatically reboot after Odin.

6. Shut down device again.

7. Try recovery combo.

8. (If succeed) download latest supersu.zip and flash.

9. Check root and profit!

I'm using a deoxed custom ROM that has root built in. That's usually the easiest method. :)

Edit - CF auto root is really good for samsung devices that don't have a working custom recovery, we have twrp working with MM bootloaders now so CF auto root isn't recommended anymore. :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] DhiJay23:
I finally on TWRP Mode and downloaded the supersu.zip, should I unzip it (or leave it zip?) and move it to my device and install it thru TWRP . or use ODIN to install it?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] christopherrrg:
Leave it as a zip file.

Using TWRP select 'install' then navigate to the .zip (on your device storage) and select it. :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] DhiJay23:
Thank you so much brother. If I want to install a custom rom I guess I just need to do the same method? I guess I need to do backup thru twrp first?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] christopherrrg:
Yup! All zips are flashed through TWRP, just don't forget to follow the ROM threads posts by the letter! With the amount of variants we have for our device it is easy to get lost. :D

(Totally read that out loud in borat voice, MUCH JOY! hehe)

I actually use XtreStoLite Deo Mod v3.1.1

It is 6.0.1 and can be found on the unified android development forums. :)

It basically has all the mods that can be thrown at this phone. Cheers and I'm glad you're all set. Enjoy your device! :)
