I believe it will, but the only way to know for sure is to give it a shot. People have had different results, but mostly successful. You may need your Model and Serial Numbers, so try to find those. And you may need to start in Download mode, but try it normal first just to see if it works.

Hi guys, running a custom rom right now 5.1.1. I'm looking for return to MM stock no root. Would using this program be the easiest way to do so? I know that seems like a dumb question, but I just want to make sure that being on a non stock rom wont mess with the effectiveness.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] SuperSport:
Root will not cause any issues. Smart Switch will install the latest available Firmware that they have on their servers. IF that's MM, then that is what it will install.

I'm having a problem ... im using s6 edge sm-g925f and when i use smartswitch .. it's downloading the software but when it has to install it remains at 0% .. and i waited like an hour and no changes. . what am i doing wrong?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] hanhanyuki:
help sir

i forgot remove google account so my samsung sm-a9000 locked and can't perform Factory Reset because FRP lock is enabled.i think the one can save my phone is Smartswitch but, Smartswitch can't read my phone. So,may i get recovery code for emergency recovery ? but,i never use this app before . So, i dunno the recovery code. how to get it?

thank you sir.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] SuperSport:
I think I ran into this one time myself. Can't you just log back into your Google Account to turn off the lock, then log out of the google account?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] hanhanyuki:
i can't do anything except do download mode and error logo. it's between smartswitch and odin only can save me but FRP locked is big mess i think. smart switch recovery code is big deal too. :crying:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] SuperSport:
So, you are not able to boot at all? If you are, you can try one of these methods:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] hanhanyuki:
my phone can't boot. just stuck at error logo and only can do download mode . just like that until battery run out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] SuperSport:
Have you tried to enter Recovery Mode to attempt a hard reset?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] cds36:
I to am having great battery life now. I have volte off and WiFi calling off as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] holt3113:
I was having huge issues with battery. After doing this. Absolutely loving my edge now. So thanks so much for the upload
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ktetreault14:
Battery is much better after deep sleep fix. Now I use servicely and debloat alot. I only lost 2 percent in 8 hours overnight.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] pclaunch:
Every time i try to restore the data to my edge Smart Switch tells me data restore failed and to reconnect the device. I also can see the app apk's in the backup folder on my computer but when i tell it what to restore apps are not an option. Any one have a clues as to what is going on? I was rooted and did a backup with SS and then reflashed the phone and now cant restore backup..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] SuperSport:
It sounds like Samsung has some more work to do with Smart Switch. I do believe this is a first release, so hopefully they will be updating it soon. An earlier poster said that his home screen was not restored after flashing and using the restore option.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] krabman:
Mine did not restore any of my home screens. I hand one set up for me stock launcher, Nova, and Action Launcher 2. I did have Action Launcher 2 up when I did the backup. For some reason another oddity was none of my app "unlockers" was backed up or else the backup for them was not restored. Apps that I purchased that were simply full versions without unlockers were restored.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Medic97:
Mine keeps on crashing at 51% any ideas what is causing that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] flameinthefire:
Smart switch keeps on getting stuck at 51% when its trying to download the firmware. I've tried it over and over again still the same results. Any ideas?

Same here, did you figure out a way to bypass it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] jamcar:
If you're comfortable with Odin that might be another thing you could try.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] flameinthefire:
I have used Odin before but samsung has not released the stock firmware for our phone yet right? what do i flash?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Medic97:
Not yet, tried it on a mac and a PC did reinstalls and everything. Was thinking of just doing it through Odin.

On the mac its strange, once android file transfer pops up smartswitch refuses to connect to the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] flameinthefire:
Do we have Odin instructions somewhere? and the link to the firmware?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] jamcar:
The thread for the stock firmwares is here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] flameinthefire:
Ok i will try Odin in a min. Flashing this should also address all the issues just as it would using smart righ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] jamcar:
SS should be flashing the latest build (OCG) which is what the Odin tar is.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] SuperSport:
Cool! Didn't know this was out there already. I was going to ask if these guys have an error code when it fails. If so, they could try the Emergency Recover method entering the code.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Farva0412:
How do I do that? Where is my Code to recover?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] flameinthefire:
So i just flashed the stock firmware using ODIN and it did not fix my battery life :( still draining by just sitting here. And google services are the culprit
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Medic97:
Have the same problem, also I think Odin isnt flashing properly b/c it is not wiping everything out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] flameinthefire:
I think so too.. so what are you planing to do? Smart switch is not working for me. It gets stuck on 51%
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] hanhanyuki:
yes, i did. Before i try do flashing it with odin. Now, Odin Fail cause FRP lock enabled because i forgot remove google account before hard reset.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Alex-M8:
It tells me to insert the resetcode from the other computer but i don't have another computer please help :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] hanhanyuki:
did you phone can't read by the pc/laptop?if yes,we have same issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Mr.Singh:
Hi guys, is it possible to download stock firmware externally and place it where Smart switch can access it offline? at present connection to the server is dropping and the downloads stuck like forever.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Iceprincess13:
Hi I did tried to do the emergence recovery however my phone was stuck with the little man on it after and wen I tried to restart it the fone just wouldn't come on no light anything helppppppp plz
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] SuperSport:
Have you tried a hard reset? If that does not work, try flashing again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] RDDraco:
Just wondering is it possible to use smart switch with a custom recovery like twrp. Or do I need to have stock recovery for it to work properly?

.

Edit: we managed to get it back to stock with imei and baseband
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] sjhotwings:
I have twrp installed and rooted. do you need to unroot your phone first before you run smart switch or flash via Odin? or you just go ahead and do it. I'm on xtrestolite 6.0.1 atm and would love to get back to stock
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] GayCasper:
i get to 69% and it gives me an error every time
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] GayCasper:
Now it downloads all the way but when it gets 50 % install it crashes
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] dipak kuchhadiya:
my phone does not start after installing firmwere from odin

Have you tried SmartSwitch to see if it recognizes your phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] GameCheater2:
After initializing the update, Smart Switch crashes on my PC after starting "AdminDelegator".

Could you please help me?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] SuperSport:
There are so many possibilities for the software to crash on someone's PC, I wouldn't even know where to start... Can you try it on another PC and see if you get the same result? That way, we can rule out the PC as the issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] GameCheater2:
Trying it out a different computer solved the problem apparently.

Thank you!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] SuperSport:
Glad to hear it, thank you for letting us know.

Lost touch screen functionality completely after son took OTA to QA2. Reflashed using Odin and still nothing. Will Smart Switch for pc allow restoring an earlier FW version than the latest?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] SuperSport:
Unfortunately, no. It always pulls the latest version off of the Samsung servers.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] pedrus11:
This does not work when i use smart switch on my mac, any tips? The emergency software button does not show up
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] SuperSport:
I don't have a MAC to test with. Let me see if I can set up a MAC Virtual Machine on my PC so I can see it in person. I'll get back when I know more.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] SuperSport:
Ok, I've got it installed and running on a MAC Virtual Machine. Unfortunately, I don't have a Samsung Device anymore, so it won't go any further than this.

I did click on Learn More, and it states that "after the device connects", you will see a menu at the top left that says "Smart Switch". If you click that, it allows you to select "Emergency software recovery and initialization". From there, it should be similar to my Windows Video.

If it's still not showing, then maybe it's not connecting correctly. Can you try a different USB Cable?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] dohcvtec:
Hello, I have a S6 Edge, TMoB with Google locked account and I'm trying to find my way out of this. What should I do and how? Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] SuperSport:
Is it your Google Account? Can you simply change the password on your google account and then sign back in on this phone after restoring it?

I have not personally tried a restore on a locked phone. Does it totally prevent you from logging back in?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] dohcvtec:
Yes, prevents me totally. What options do I have?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] SuperSport:
See if this thread can help. You'll need an OTG cable and USB drive though.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] daved94:
hello,

note 2 stuck on boot logo, flashing with smart switch

phone in download mode, after downloading 100%, smart switch error failed to recognize software update mode, asks to remove battery and try again.

please help
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] SuperSport:
Can you try a different USB Port? Also, another USB Cable if you have one. That has fixed that problem for many people.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] majikfox:
FYI, after the software finishes downloading it takes a really long time before the restore part goes up from 0%.

Like 20 minutes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] GuyInDogSuit:
I don't have either of those tabs on mine...﻿

And if I boot in Download mode, it doesn't recognize the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] danilo0230:
Hello, I am here for the same reason. Latest Smart Switch ask for recovery code instead of Model & S/N, is there any other solution?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Ultima99:
The newest release removes this ability.

Good news is I found a link where Samsung is still hosting the previous version.

Just be sure to disable the update when it asks.

HELP PLEASE! S6 edge plus stuck on error

I tried flashing my device with odin but it failed. I waited a while because it said not to unplug the device. I eventually unplugged it because nothing was happening and then my screened displayed an error message saying 'An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software'. So i downloaded smart switch on my laptop but found that it didnt have the 'Device intialization' tab like it does in the tutorials. I also tried Kies but it doesn't support my phone. I tried downloading an older version of smart switch but it would just say that the application won't install. I really need help on this guys.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] TDragovich94:
would you perhaps be able to email me the necessary files to flash my S6 Edge with odin? I have the pit file (I think it is the right one) but I cant find the other files I will need. also if you could help me with making sure I do it correctly, that would be greatly appreciated. this is my first time using odin and I am not familiar with it at all. any help will be greatly appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Ammarr28:
My s6edge tmobile got locked so I got the phone rooted and sim started working. Now if I'll update my software using this smart switch so will my device again get locked?

How to use Samsung Smart Switch for Firmware Restore

How to use an application from Samsung called Smart Switch to Firmware restore. :good:

I have same problem it's very anoying
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] flameinthefire:
I'm going to go home and try it on my mac and see if that gives me better results.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] SuperSport:
For those crashing at 51%. When it crashes, it does not give an error code? I've never had it crash, so have not experienced it myself. The software talks about an error code that you use to try again using Emergency Recovery Mode.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] SuperSport:
For those who have used Odin only to have the same issues. Have you tried to enter recovery mode and clear your cache etc...? Maybe that would complete the flash much like Smart Switch does? Just thinking out loud...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] flameinthefire:
There is no error code it just freezes at 51%. What error code are you referring to?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Drumrocker:
Not Working on Sprint S6 Edge

Doesn't look like Smart Switch supports the Sprint S6 Edge. :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] SuperSport:
I'm not sure, I've never seen it. I just see where it asks you to enter the error code from a previous failed update. Open Smart Switch, and click the 'Device Recovery Guide' near the bottom. It explains it there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] SuperSport:
That stinks! Maybe it's still being added to the servers.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] triq6:
So last night before going to bed, I decided to enable encryption (standard android encryption, not Knox) and let it run while I was sleeping. I woke up this morning to the "Encryption failed, please reset device" screen, and the phone was stuck in a boot loop! I took it into T-Mobile, and they said they can't accept anything because "they know I rooted it". So now I'm sitting here with a (potentially) very expensive brick! :(

I tried Odin earlier this morning, and I just installed SmartSwitch and am trying to recover through there. If anyone has any other suggestions, PLEASE let me know!

For those of you getting stuck at 51%: have you tried using the "Emergency Software Recovery" feature? I'm trying that now, but it's going reeaally slow (15 minutes in, only at 3%! It's been stuck here for the past 10 minutes, so I'm getting a little worried....)

To get to Device Recovery mode:

Click "More" in the top right on Windows (or "SmartSwitch" in the menu bar for Mac)

Select the 1st option ("Emergency software recovery and initialisation")

Go to the "Software Update and Initialization" tab

Enter "SM-G925T" for the model number, then click Search

A new field for Serial Number should pop up. To get your serial number (not your IMEI), get to the blue download/recovery screen, then hit the Home button

I'll update this post a little later with more info on how my recovery went.

Update #1: About 1.5 hours in, and I'm at 43%. It's downloading the firmware in the background, currently downloaded 1.06GB at a rate of ~200KB/s.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] flameinthefire:
still at 3 %?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] triq6:
I clicked cancel and restarted...now I'm at 9%. No wait, make that 10%! I really hope this works...I forgot to mention that my attempts with ODIN this morning kept throwing a NAND write error, so this is my last idea.

Made it to 11% while typing! I feel like I'm back on a 56k modem, waiting for a picture to load.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] flameinthefire:
Haha, i was able to successfully flash it via ODIN but i felt like that didn't change anything since it didnt delete any data. I still have battery drain issues. Let me know how this goes if it works i'll give it a shot. Smart Switch is annoying it keeps on crashing at 51%
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] triq6:
I'll definitely update when completed. I just opened up my network monitor, and can confirm that the reason it's taking so long is that it's downloading the firmware. I'm guessing their servers are slow as hell right now, because I have a fast connection and was able to manually download the full 1.2GB firmware file in a few minutes (when I tried via ODIN). SmartSwitch has received about 540MB of data so far, and I'm at 21% now. It looks like downloading is the first 50%, then flashing after that...based on maths that I totally just made up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] SuperSport:
I've been following this on my phone while I'm away from home. I'm anxious to hear what happens for you. Thanks for trying this for everyone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] triq6:
Sorry, I forgot to hit submit on my post earlier...here it is:

Final update: Right at 9pm, the (Mac) SmartSwitch application crashed...F*CK!!!! It hadn't started pushing anything to the phone yet (I could see that it was still downloading the firmware), so no damage was done. It was around 49% the last time I looked at it; so maybe it crashed around 51%, where others are reporting freezing.

BUT, I saw a post somewhere about flashing the stock recovery (I can't seem to find the exact post right now, but the file was hosted on ZiDroid) that apparently gets busted when rooting with CF. I flashed that via ODIN and the phone successfully booted to a visible recovery! I did a factory reset, and my phone is back to life!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ayemprady:
I tried to replicate the same steps as described on OP but got the error (PFA) at 51%.

After that I tried to do an emergency recovery using the recovery code & give input as 5 but it again failed (PFA)..

I am sick of the battery..WTH..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] flameinthefire:
Tell me about it.. I gave up
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] dolfan08:
I was having the same problem with the download getting stuck at 51%. I decided to give it one more try last night about 9:00 and it completed successfully. Noticing smoother performance so far. Good luck all!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] flameinthefire:
I just tried it again still the same thing :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] SuperSport:
For those stuck at 51%, did you Root your phones? Did you flash the Stock Recovery back to your phones? Just trying to trouble shoot...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] flameinthefire:
Nope completely stock
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Farva0412:
Did it on my wife's mac last night. To a bit but it went through.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] SuperSport:
So, it's likely an issue with the Smart Switch Software and the PC it's installed on. That means it's not the phones themselves. That's a step forward.

For those having issues still, is there a possibility of trying on another PC? Or, maybe a virtual machine? I keep a clean/basic Windows 7 Virtual Machine just for stuff like this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] triq6:
For the record: my phone was previously rooted, and still had the busted recovery when SmartSwitch for Mac crashed on me (around 51%). I got impatient and cancelled the SS for Windows recovery attempt because it seemed to get stuck at 3%.

I just used SS for a backup right now, and it only took a minute or two to complete. So I guess they got that part down! I'll be keeping SmartSwitch around in case things melt down again.

For those with rooted phones: here is a tutorial on switching back to the stock recovery. I've seen many posts saying that flashing this helped with the battery drain issues after rooting; I haven't had it long enough to say for sure, but it does seem like the batter is lasting longer than it did before. It's also nice to have a working recovery, for when you screw everything up like I did the other day.

Update: Google Play Movies is also working after flashing the stock recovery. Others were saying that it wasn't after rooting...but I didn't try it until after flashing
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] SuperSport:
In my case, my phone was rooted with the broken recovery still in place when I used Smart Switch. Strange mine went right through.

What about trying to re-install the drivers using the link inside Smart Switch and see if that makes any difference.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] flameinthefire:
I tried it on a mac also and it froze at 52%
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] SuperSport:
That's progress, right? ;) 1% higher...

Have you had a chance to try updating the drivers using the link in Smart Switch? Probably won't fix it, but worth a try.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] flameinthefire:
Yeah tried that. I don't understand what the issue is but it sure is frustrating and annoying
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] flameinthefire:
Anyone had luck with 51% issue?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] SuperSport:
What about trying [MENTION=4441847]triq6[/MENTION]'s suggestion and flash the stock recovery back even though you are already there? Maybe there is a glitch in it somewhere and it will work after that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ayemprady:
Nopes.. My phone was stock when I tried this.. Did not root before or after. My battery life is pathetic..
