[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
That is a 920fd thread so I ask hemant here. It won't take any risk, the worse case is either can't boot or go into bootloop and will need to restore the kernel only.
[Galaxy S6 General] Hemant:
Lol. I will see later if i want to try or not. After a screw up yesterday on the stock rom and now back to old Soul i dont want to risk too much :) But will update if i do.

Lol can we claim the free reader + 32GB card since i already got the free case. It seems in HK really people didnt buy because of lack of memory card and Samsung perhaps realised their mistake. They should have gone with Dual sim with 2nd which can be used a TF card slot.
[Galaxy S6 General] REDOXON:
I'm not missing the SD card at all, are you?
[Galaxy S6 General] Hemant:
Just miss it when installing custom roms and saving some files. Apart from that not much. SGS6 internal memory is blazing fast anyways. I still have around 5GB remaining and this after around 2-3 GB rom files. so if need more then i will delete 1 of the bigger games.
[Galaxy S6 General] amankapoor4:
Thanks i am aware of this site, but i thought they are selling it a bit expensive. So wanted to know if it is possible to source it cheaper off the local shops.
[Galaxy S6 General] Hemant:
Aman, G9200 LTE bands are a little different than G920FD, i think FD is more suited worldwide not sure about Indian bands. G9200 especially supports all Chinese LTE bands namely TD-LTE from China Mobile. Previously you had to buy phones separately for TD networks. There was an excel file posted in this thread above listing the differences in LTE bands. Suggest to check that.
[Galaxy S6 General] flogger:
Yep. For me it really had to be 920FD because its the only one that has all the European LTE carrier bands.

I still don't understand why in Europe Samsung only releases the single sim version. The only dual sim versions out here are crappy phones like Ace Duos or other low end phones.

The Galaxy line dual sims are always Asia and Middle East, and more recently south America as well.

I don't understand this policy by Samsung.

And exactly because of that the 920FD is less popular then the asian one 9200 and therefore I wasn't expecting to see a 64gb version on that one.....
[Galaxy S6 General] amankapoor4:
Sure Hemant will check it out, alternatively i guess i will just hold on to my S6 and buy another cheap xiaomi phone.
[Galaxy S6 General] rbwsmith:
Yes, it accommodates LTE: Well, I get LTE speeds on T-Mobile US. I haven't yet tried an AT&T SIM.

Mine has 64gb of storage - well, you take away some for the operating system and bloat. I've noticed only 32gb models on ebay, but JadoPado seems to have 64gb models from time to time.

I hear you, I can be a suspicious dude, too!

I'm in the States, and didn't have to pay any customs duties. I had to fill out a form for Customs that ask for SITC (international trade ID) codes. But it was pretty painless (with a few Google searches).

If you Google something like "customs fees import from Dubai" you might find (like I did) a document that reveals mobile phones are import duty free.

I did have to pay a $25 or more shipping fee.

Hi Hemant did u flash new ota on ur phone how its work?should I try stock or continued with soul ?ur opinion.

---------- Post added at 12:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 AM ----------

Any one have new firmware download link AOF1? I want to try stock again.
[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
I always flash stuffs when I was on HTC ... it is very easy, no need scared. You just need to use TWRP to backup your rom with kernel, if u got any problem after flashing that custom kernel, you just need to restore the backup rom plus kernel. That's it.

---------- Post added at 08:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 AM ----------

I'm running AOF1. Bluetooth a bit more stable, a bit more free memory and battery is improved back bcoz AOE4 the battery got worse. However, I think since AOF1 can't use pingpong root and I still don't want to trip my knox.
[Galaxy S6 General] Hemant:
I went stock for few hours and I installed the recovery as boot and then it stuck my phone. Luckily I had soul on my internal memory and also TWRP was there too so I went back to soul now. However after going stock I missed a lot of soul features like side panel, phone number formatting, systemUI which can be modified using their app, lots of tweaks on soul like hardware swipe etc. Surprising they haven't updated the soul seems they are waiting for chinese aof1. So I am going to stick to soul and hope they update shortly.

Hi guys. Sorry to insist with question: any ROM suggestions for the 920FD?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 General] ravage485:
Hey, did you install this on a chineese or HK version? For some reason I can't get odin to flash AOF1 on my chineese version, it just says Fail after write start....
[Galaxy S6 General] Hemant:
Hi installed it on the HK version. Firstly i was trying to install AOF1 via ODIN without wiping the old rom but it gave me error saying that device has gone in recovery mode and can be solved using smart switch. After reading few threads it was suggested that flashing TWRP will bring back the recovery which i did then i preceded with complete wipe except the internal memory. After that i installed the rom from ODIN and it worked great.

Also note that AOF1 is released for HK and Taiwan versions and not for China. It seems there is some hardware difference between Chinese and HK version and has been advised not to swap roms between the two. However the current Soul Chinese Rom 6.0 is based on China AOE4 which works with my HK rom without issues.

Try doing the above and see if it works.
[Galaxy S6 General] ravage485:
ODIN write still fails, I'm not sure what the deal is but it must be something on the phone as I've tried it on multiple computers. Not really a big deal though I guess I'll just wait for the CN version to come out, the only difference is you have to flash gapps (kind of a pain in the ass as I have to flash the new firmware via smart switch, then flash TWRP via ODIN, then gapps via TWRP, then extract the stock recovery from the firmware update, put it into a tar.md5, then flash that over TWRP so that I don't lose deep sleep :eek:)

P.S. has anyone tried cooking a stock rom without all the samsung BS? It's been a while since I've used android kitchen but it appears to be making un-flashable zips for me XD
[Galaxy S6 General] flogger:
Thanks for the feedback. I'm based in Europe and generally anything from outside has import customs fees.....

Anyway I'm already waiting for the 920FD 32Gb..... No time to regret now

Hello brother, I bought a G920FD in our neighboring Paraguay. I'm running a stock and I'm not missing anything yet. But I'm looking forward to XtreStoLite Odexed Pure Edition be compatible with our model.

If you have any news send me a private message.
[Galaxy S6 General] Hemant:
Install the soul rom it detects whether your device is China or hk version and installs accordingly however the aroma is Chinese and latest rom is aoe4 based.

So waiting for it to updated. Also most rom's are compatible with our devices but it can't find the dual sim so its a modem issue, maybe you can figure that out would be good.
[Galaxy S6 General] ravage485:
It is in fact a modem issue, I tried messing around with it and though I had it but wound up soft bricking my phone :) I'll leave it up to greater minds...
[Galaxy S6 General] santiargy:
I don't like the battery performance on the stock rom. I am coming from an S5 with XDK, much better than stock on the 920FD. I tried Aliance, and it FCs the system UI over and over. XtreStoLite doesn't recognize the simcards. So, for now, just waiting...
[Galaxy S6 General] Hemant:
How do you install the modem.bin file since I have that extracted from the latest rom. Can we make a flashable zip?
[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
Is it the soul custom kernel still AOE4 based?
[Galaxy S6 General] Hemant:
Not sure. Maybe older too since its using v1 posted long time back. Strange that they are updating soul maybe waiting for chinese aof1.
[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
http://www.soului.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=21294&extra=page%3D1

I fount it, it's AOD5. Are you using this custom kernel or stock kernel now? You always report bad battery performance, is it you can't deep sleep?
[Galaxy S6 General] Hemant:
I think it's google play services which keep running in the background. On average I get 3.5-4 sot with most services and sync on too.

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/google-play-services-7-5-73-1976294-440-android-apk-download/

Try this ver of google play services, I've tested it and seems really a bit better. There are some other newer ver but this one seems to be the best battery friendly and most stable.
[Galaxy S6 General] sjovysjuva:
So my Samsung G920FD was just ordered from Hong Kong by my future employer :D (I live in the EU).

Would anyone be able to tell if flashing any custom ROM to it will just make one sim unusable or both of them?

I really hope there will be a solution one day for flashing ROMs to this device, but really needing the dual sim functionality I regard the lack of custom ROM support as the price I have to pay right now.
[Galaxy S6 General] Hemant:
Yes I am already using this.

sm-g920FD vs SM-G9200

Ok, so geographically one is from Singapore/HK/China (9200) and the other is Pakistan/Philippines? (920FD)

but besides that? one has the DUOS written on front/back the other doesn't, but what about hardware? same 2/3/4G bands? other differences? prices for both are almost the same on ebay and other e-marketplaces so which should one choose?

For those of you looking for cooked roms, don't forget SVA ROM's massive work @ studenikin.ru

Its the first time that data doesnt match the phone. Is really weird. I'm seeing 920F and I know I have on my hands the 920FD.

Also I had an OTA update waiting, I did it a bit afraid that wouldnt be able to root anymore but the new OTA Rom is actually dated 20th April, so its not May which should mean the root bug for the pingpong is still there.

I'll give it a try and post my findings later.

Does any other owner of 920FD also has in the about model name 920F ???

Seriously? Reposting just because you're lazy to read beyond page 5 or do a search?

They're not just geographically different. One is fd-lte and the other tdd-lte, one does the asian frequency bands while the other the European ones. That's the main difference in terms of functionality.

Thanks. Please post more info. I think if that works then perhaps we can install any custom rom on our device then install right modem and kernel to get the signal and other bands working.

S6 Mobile Data issue: Settings Missing

Hi guys! I'm Karissa Yu from the Philippines. I recently got my Galaxy S6 from SUN Cellular after renewing my account... and I noticed that I can't seem to connect to my Mobile Data despite going back and forth to their SUN shops and calling their hotlines. They have already activated my internet but I am still unable to connect to my Mobile Data.

I noticed afterwards that there are some settings in the "Data Usage" setting where the Mobile Data slider is not present. Setting Mobile data limit is not present either... Is this normal??

[Galaxy S6 General] flogger:
Well mine shows FD and not F/DS so Im guessing its not exactly the same.

Also tried the SmartSwitch for PC to see what did showed there and it showed only 920F. (This really smells....)

About the version mine got an OTA update to G920FXXU1AODE.

Did the pingpong root and it worked perfectly. :)

I'm not having any issues with internet connection. Everything is just great. Might be some network problem on your provider.

Have you checked your APN Settings? The correct endpoint might not be there.

For example: I have a UK simcard from a Virtual Provider that works on top of O2 Network. So, everytime I put the simcard in a new phone the only APN existing in the card is from O2 which is invalid.

I have to always add manually the APN from the actual provider I'm using so I can connect to the internet.

Its worth checking it out.
[Galaxy S6 General] flogger:
G920FD

Another finding on my G920FD that shows 920F everywhere.

After the last OTA update that took me to G920FXXU1AODE, I found out in Samfirmware that this ROM is listed in the single sim versions 920F with the following Info:

Model	SM-G920F
Model name	GALAXY S6
Country	United Arab Emirates
Version	Android 5.0.2
Changelist	4700773
Build date	Mon, 20 Apr 2015 01:18:23 +0000
Product code	XSG
PDA	G920FXXU1AODE
CSC	G920FOJV1AODE

Also, checked exactly was going on inside the phone and as you can see here:

[IMG="g920fd"]https://photos-1.dropbox.com/t/2/AADw9x0s9jJahAUvxLjy5-HJAettGv6aJe4Zfj_vKlYS9w/12/68380185/png/32x32/1/1434646800/0/2/g920fd.png/CJnMzSAgASACIAMgBCAFIAYgBygBKAI/tOKpv9rwF9YK90L_WP-bPb4fxYix0IC-2kmQd1jk0Mc?size=1280x960&size_mode=2[/IMG]

I actually see the phone is from Mauritius with MRU CSC which means is also from Orange. Probably it was locked and the seller unlocked it.

This current package actually contains 27 different CSC codes.

Now, this makes me believe that the modem part of any roms now all include the dual sim capability according to wether the hardware is present or not.....

Could this mean we can then change to any other rom of single sim version 920F ? Probably yes!

All the users out there, opinions? Experiences? [MENTION=4006638]TheEndHK[/MENTION] are you sure about that you can't flash single sim rom to dual sim? Everything points out that it is in fact the same single G920F rom.

PDA, Baseband and CSC are the same? Do you know of any other settings we can check on the phone to be sure they are a match?

I would like to think in changing the CSC and probably the base rom to a normal single sim one and see how it goes but if there was a way I could confirm before?

There is also a different is that G9200 got many custom roms(three now) even more than many single sim S6. It is just they never publish on XDA.

The second one is gfan rom and nice and battery good.

The last one is 52root paid rom and it costs roughly USD30 with life time update. It is sad that they decide to make money on custom rom but seems it is real the best rom so far for G9200.

All are Chinese roms but they also support English language.

---------- Post added at 09:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 AM ----------

I understand what you say but I think I haven't explained myself well.

Until this point in time stock roms were explicitly FD (dual) or F (single).

Now, with S6, there are no FD. All roms are F. For example single sim from UAE has the same rom as the dual. That's what you can see Sammobile and for what the users of FD model are showing. Same pda, baseband and csc. All equal!

The thing is that there are other countries that might have indeed only single sim data inside.

My question would be if there's a way of knowing or checking if a rom is dual before flashing it.....

That is the exact same ROM Ive been talking about. Mauritius, Morocco, even United Arab Emirates are all inside.

That CSC package contains 27 different CSC codes. You can use a CSC changer to see the available ones.

And once again, this ROM is 920F (which all in all was supposed to be a single sim version).

Anyone found a way of checking a ROM to see whether it is dual or not, so that we can know for sure that if we flash a single F series one we wont loose dual capability.
