[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] nightfury04:
Got the same issue..

After updating to DOL5 TWRP is not working, also DOL5 update says we cannot downgrade.

Devs pls respond.... :(

---------- Post added at 09:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 PM ----------

Has anyone checked if unikernel is working with this DOL5 update or not?

Means we can root it in the same old way or not, by flashing a rooted kernel??

I suspect samsung has incorporated some kind of verification/authentication mechanism that checks for every flashed package

for its genuinity/signature...

And thats why TWRP is not working anymore.....according to what I beleive.

The problem I am facing is that I am unable to install TWRP after flashing stock firmware G920IDVU3DOL5(Android 5.1.1), earlier I used to flash TWRP 2.8.7.1 with ODIN on older stock ROM and it worked.

Is this TWRP you mentioned works on 5.1.1 too?

I extracted the tar file and flashed it via ODIN.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] Cyanandroid:
same here...what's ur phone model and rom status is it latest ota?
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] nightfury04:
My phone's model number in SM-G920I and I am on firmware G920IDVU3DOL5.... After flashing TWRP phone gets stuck while going into recovery mode. My phones status is still official after this(in the settings--> About phone section ofcourse).
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] Cyanandroid:
my phone is same as urs with same firmware...so have u successfully rooted it?
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] nightfury04:
No mate still no success rooting DOL5... I needed root so badly that I went back to G920IDVU3DOK9 and flashed unikernel and twrp.

Now I have root.

You can go back to DOK9 version... Just download the official firmware and flash it via ODIN. Then flash TWRP and unikernel to get root.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] Cyanandroid:
are u on android 5.1.1?

can u send me the link of the firmware,recovery and super su that u flashed?
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] self_slaughter:
The modded twrp can be fussy. If it freezes try flash again and let it fully boot into android before attempting to enter recovery. Took me a few goes.

Then you just need supersu for root.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] Cyanandroid:
thanks will try this...

[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] nisarpari:
not for D0L5...

Tried everything... but not luck with DOL5 version..... Device:- g925i...

seems like downgrading via odin is the only way to get back root.... or i may wait for Android 6.0 beta version release for G925i edge version...
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] ANKUR4LUV:
Maybe Downgrading will be a better alternate coz marshmallow root ain't easy though :3
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] self_slaughter:
Things will settle down hopefully once marshmallow is released. Strange others haven't got it working on their 920i though.

Took a few goes but works fine on mine using inu firmware.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] ANKUR4LUV:

[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] Cyanandroid:

I am trying to understand all the current issues for international versions of the S6 non edge, since this is a non edge thread.

I assume the latest bootloader for sboot is causing issues booting TWRP. This issue is affecting the note 5 models as well. Can you tell me if samsung has the latest kernel source for your device that matches you running firewall on their open source center? If not please request and let me know the results.

For other issues such as OTG, please state your phone model, what version of TWRP you tried (only official versions from twrp.me count) and I can look at this issue.

BigBiff-- I have an SM-G920F, International, unlocked version. Originally UAE XSG firmware. On newest XSG (UAE) firmware dated 1-7-16 (there's 2) I flash TWRP with odin, says successful, however when I button combo to recovery I get the Recovery is not seandroid enforcing then the phone immediately powers down. I looked at the Android Security Patch and its dated Jan. 6 2016. Now, any firmware I flash prior to year 2016 patch, TWRP will flash to the phone fine. Whether its UAE or German DDE or Nordic NEE. Anyways...if you can help on this tha'd be great and if you need a tester, I'm ready and willing. You have done a great job. I appreciate your time and effort you put in for us.

Edit...I tried nisarpari above suggestion just for s & g's.... and when I flash that recovery I get the SEandroid is not enforcing message, but the phone stays on that screen and doesnt go any further. Doesnt shut down...just hangs

[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] sd_N:
Yep

I have found that any new 5.1.1 release that has a build date after Jan 1, 2016 is a no go for getting a recovery to flash. I believe its definitely secirity policy related. It wont take long, Devs will help us out.

[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] bininga59:
Did you this version (TWRP-2.8.7.1-zeroflte.img.tar)?
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
You guys need to ask for a newer kernel for the s6 zeroflte so we can update for the newer sboot. Ask for your version at Samsung Open Source Center and we can update the kernel for zeroflte to boot on newer sboot images.

For example:

SM-G920F - Indian

Not working | Working

Get /proc/last_kmsg from the failed boot and paste it here

Install it via latest Odin

BUT, untick "Auto Reboot" option on Odin before start the flash proccess. When the flashing ends, phone will stuck on donwload mode. Unplug the cable and press and hold volume down & power button until the screen goes black. When the screen goes black, release the buttons and press and hold volume up & home button.

The phone will boot into TWRP, or stuck at Samsung logo. If it stuck at Samsung logo, the TWRP version is not compatible with installed bootloader.

Should I back data up, too or not?
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] Cyanandroid:
data part contains all of ur installed and system apps thats why its size is so large...

and it depends for what purpose u are backing it up...

if u are backing up for a nandroid backup then u should backup data also...

but if u want to flash a new rom and what this data to be restored in that rom then u should not back it up as it can mess up with the system files of the other rom....

reflash twrp then go to mount
