Samsung just published kernel source code for S6 920 and S6 Edge 925 http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s6-s6-edge-kernel-source-code-600528/
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] nflwideout86:
flashed it on g920p

now im stuck in recovery and the touchscreen doesnt work
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] zone23:
SM-G925T Galaxy S6 Edge T-Mobile after installing reboot to recovery I get a black screen. I do have access to the SDCard but can't seem to find the recovery.log. OP let me know if I can help I bought this phone to use for development and I can just restore the recovery no problem. Thanks.

PS ADB device is offline.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
So it seems the Edge has it's own configuration as well as the F series international.

So far this works only on the International S6 and Tmobile S6 as far as I am aware.

All others will have to be worked on in due time.

Biggest time sinks for me is downloading everything.

If you don't have something working,

1. Get recovery.img from sammobile and post it somewhere fast for me to download for your device

2. Download the kernel src and post it somewhere for me to download

So far I am working on the F series. It might take time to support all devices.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] kashortiexda:
^^are you working on 925F ?
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] zone23:
Thanks I have the recovery.img but don't know what the 'src' is sorry, can you help?
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] Prod1702:
maybe source code?
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
The kernel source from samsung open source center.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] zone23:
OK thanks I have them uploading to my dropbox. Can I PM you when its uploaded would that be ok?
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Your custom theme is missing resources defined in the XML. Contact the theme maker with the error. It does not impact TWRP functionality it seems.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] ThatChinskiGuy:
How do I pull the last_kmsg file? I transferred it to my SD card using Astro file manager but it seems to transfer incorrectly.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Best way is to try

cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/last_kmsg

in a terminal as root.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] ThatChinskiGuy:
Using adb or something?
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] Wacky2bakky:
Has anyone successfully flashed TWRP on their Sprint S6? I got it to flash but touch screen wouldn't respond. Wanting custom recovery so I can try and flash KTs custom kernel he just released :)
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Either run the command in adb shell or in a terminal emulator.

It is posted in Original Development in the Sprint S6 sub-forum.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] ysr84:
Hi friend, I have the exact same issue... G920F... accidently I flashed G925F stock recovery and since that the sysmptoms which you have described above are happening. When I touch "#" it selects "*". Similarly, when I touch "7" it would select "9". However in the middle of the screen everything is kosher.

What I have done:

Flashed stock firmware (still the touch issue)

Flashed stock recovery (no luck)

Did multiple wipes (no luck)

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

I am getting a non responsive touch screen on my 920t. Flashed twrp via flashify. I cant boot past twrp either
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
For T-Mobile are you on the latest firmware?
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] ACCUSED24:
Just got my G920I today. Rooted and then tried to flash recovery via the app ( And now other methods, flashify and odin).

After flashing twrp, it goes to the startup screen that says Android at the bottom and stays there. Only way out is if I reboot into download mode and use CFAuto-root to get stock recovery back.

Any ideas why this is happening?
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] paul8811:
I wouldn't root if I was you, I did m g920i & the battery drain is huge due to the no sleep issue, when to bed with it at 100% woke up at 53%. If you have the stock recovery for the device could you please please please upload it somewhere?
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] ACCUSED24:
Did you try running CF Auto root for it and then when it boots, unroot?
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] paul8811:
Yes I did mine with CF, tried unrooting it just before using the Super Su remove root option. Gave it half hour before & still didn't hit deep sleep according to cpu spy. From what others have said the only way to is to reflash stock recovery, which I cant find for my device.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] ACCUSED24:
I found this for mine

http://samsung-updates.com/details/43592/Galaxy_S6_SM-G920I/SM-G920I/TTT/G920IDVU1AOBQ.html

Not sure if it would help you any.

The downside is that it says it will take 9 hours to download.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] paul8811:
Thanks i got hold of the stock recovery after extracting it from the main .img file. However....while I was waiting I performed an unroot from SuperSu & I cant reroot it, when I pres Vol Down, menu & power it gets stuck in download mode & odin doesn't pick up the device.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] ACCUSED24:
Download Samsung smart switch program on your computer and install it. Once installed, plug you phone in and go to more in the top right on the program. The first option should be emergency re install. Try that.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] Hemant:

[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] ValouSydney:
Can someone explain how to get recovery.log please?

I tried everything to get TWRP working but I keep getting stuck on the samsung logo when I install TWRP...

I tried to pull the log file using adb however it says that the remote object does not exist.

I found a thread on XDA which says that you need to do it in the recovery otherwise the folder is deleted every time you boot your device but I cant access the recovery when I try to install TWRP.

I also found an app to export the recovery log but when I sent it today to [MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION], he told me that nothing was strange.

I need to get root to use that app but this time I'm trying to install TWRP without root. I just flashed the last firmware found on sammobile and TWRP both using Odin and didnt root my device (I've already tried with root before and it didnt work either).

Can someone help me please? (G920I - Australia)
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] wase4711:
I don't think you can flash twrp without root
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] ValouSydney:
With Odin it is possible, it is also explained on twrp website that root is not necessary.

I also tried to flash it with my phone rooted and it didnt change anything
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Can you help test? If so PM me.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] Cr4z33:
What if I am on SM-G925F?

Are you willing me to test? :)

PM me if you need anything.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] Cr4z33:
So I tried installing TWRP without success.

I then restored stock recovery, but now there's no way to apply fingerprint lockscreen unlocking.

It works the first time after reboot, but then it goes back to default swipe.

+1 would be more than willing to test any test builds for SM-G925f,I'm off work with a bad back so i've got lots of time to spare and i'm used to reflashing with odin (over 20 times this week alone lol)

Do you need any files sent over?

A bit of a necro from the beginning of the thread, but I thought I would like to mention: There is NO SD card in any of the S6's.

More confirmation of getting deep sleep issue on G920F and that it is fixed by flashify backup of stock recovery and then flashify twrp again. Thanks

Anyone else having trouble with TWRP recognizing OTG memory stick/card readers ?

It's working fine on my S5 with the same memory card reader (and the card is formated to FAT32)

On the S6 it does not recognize it , it only says USB-OTG (0MB)

I'm using v.2.8.6.0 by the way

Thanks guys :)
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Can you paste dmesg output after plugging it in?

I can try when I get home. Could you give me a quick run through of how to do that? Never done that before :cool:

Sent from my SM-G920F
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] jorgenask:
Do you mean this screen? It doesn't seem to show anything if the USB otg is connected or not, and the weird thing is that the "USB-OTG (0MB)" option when selecting backup destination is showing even if I don't have any otg connected

[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Do the following,

1. Make sure adb is installed.

2. run adb shell "dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.txt"

3. run adb pull /sdcard/dmesg.txt

4. Post the attachment here
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] jorgenask:
I probably sound like an idiot and a noob, but this is a little above my head :angel:

I appreciate your help, but I don't quite understand what to do.

Do I open some sort of command window on my phone and run these commands ? Do I do this while the OTG is connected?

Do I do this while in TWRP or when the phone is running normally ?

Thanks for your patience with me :D

Run the commands I gave you and post the resulting file here as an attachment to your post.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] blud7:
Was stuck with G920I as well.

Easy (temporary) fix is to reflash the CF Auto Root for your device, as it returns the stock recovery, and you keep root.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] jorgenask:
Tried the tutorial

Didn't seem to get my phone connected ....

If you are using the international version, I can try to look at the kernel tonight and make sure OTG is enabled. This is the only custom kernel I have working at the moment.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] jorgenask:
I am indeed on the internarional version :)

And just so you know OTG is working fine in normal touchwiz.. For example with Es file explorer.. . Just not in TWRP

Hey, I would like to know on which devices it is suppose to work as plenty of people with the G920I cannot get TWRP working.

Is it because of the version of the firmware or something else?

And how can we help you to get it working? :) knowing that we can't access the recovery once TWRP flashed...

[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] ValouSydney:
Ok I have finally been able to get TWRP working on my G920I.

To do so I had to flash a firmware for another region (I was AOC4 and I flashed an AOD1).

Then TWRP has been working fine but not root!

So I had to flash superSu in order to get it working.

Sorry Jay do you have a 925f? So Twrp is working (ltetmo) for the international version flashing the modified boot image? And what about call sound? Thanks. (I tried to flash another version before and I had to restore with odin)

It's a theme issue and doesn't affect anything really. I think bigbiff mentioned it in one of the TWRP S6 threads.
[Galaxy S6 Original Android Development] bigbiff:
It's because I was initially exlcuding TTF during testing. Can someone test http://build.twrp.me/twrp/twrp-2.8.6.0-zeroflte.img.tar to see if the error still happens?

I was planning to root then instal twrp via flashify. I installed chianfire root via odin and bricked me device (further reading reveal I am not the only one), fortunately that seems to lead me resolving this problem:

1) download this file https://docs.google.com/file/d/0ByTCOFw_f5w4UkxIRThCejFoRk0/edit this is the G920FOXA1AOD9 stock rom (remember 920F only!!)

2) unzip this zip file to tar.md5 file, odin it and select AP, odin will hang for at least 30 seconds, this is normal as it's a 3gb file

3) download http://build.twrp.me/twrp/twrp-2.8.6.0-zeroflte.img.tar and ODIN it via AP

4) now you should have twerp
