I flashed over my Optus firmware, and I didn't lose data. You might want to back up still just in case, but you shouldn't have any problems if you flash with Odin.
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
lol got mine the exact same day and time but at Harvey Norman. So far love the device coming from Windows Phone but even tho battery life is **** the quick charger does kinda make up for it.
[Galaxy S6 General] bews:
I don't know about you guys .. but my battery life seems to be getting a lot better since that last update.

Hello fellow Aussies, I bought an S6 (920F) while on holiday in Europe, and the damn thing has a region lock so I can't use any Australia sim card on it, and have no access to get a 5 min call with a euro sim. Can someone confirm if I flash another regions firmware on it that it'll get rid of the lock? Also, am I to only use the 920F firmware or can I use 920I on it? I really want to put Aussie firmware on it but 920F has none.
[Galaxy S6 General] cheetah2k:
If you can get the 920I PIT file, then you have a chance. You may end up tripping Knox though :good:
[Galaxy S6 General] XoomZoom:
How would I go about doing that? At this point I'm done with caring about Knox, not like Samsung Pay is gonna make it here any time soon anyway.
[Galaxy S6 General] cheetah2k:
Post a thread in the developer section.. or trouble shooting section.. Not sure mate. Quick google search revealed nothing
[Galaxy S6 General] samdroid711:
Cheers, will flash when I get the chance to leave my computer overnight to download from sammobile :lol:
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
Yeah same here. It's been much improved, as is the memory.
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
Compared to the S6 most phones screens are "meh"!
[Galaxy S6 General] BobbyHenceMcGee:
Exactly lol

Hence why I feel as if I may actually stick with this phone long enough for breaking the KNOX to be a valid option.

Warranty is only 12 months, after which KNOX breaking is entirely "go nuts"

Bought it on release date of April 10th so I'll probably be cracking the KNOX about Xmas time.

[MENTION=3015775]Stevles[/MENTION] i just flashed the COGA modem onto my phone (i had COH3 before) gonna see how it ranks up against the COH3 modem

so far its almost identical, i went to the post office and 4G dropped to 1 bar, but at home its at 4 bars (only a couple hundred meters away)

ill know how it is at the gym tonight, if its crapola, its back to COH3.
[Galaxy S6 General] Huey85:
Haha yeah I don't know how long I will stick with the S6. Tempted to move back to Xperia if the Z5 series holds up well. And my warranty is 24 months as it was subsidized with my carrier contract.
[Galaxy S6 General] BobbyHenceMcGee:
Actually looking at the Australian Samsung website it seems all of their phones are 24 months. Well f#ck. Will I stick with this phone for two whole years? Sincerely doubt it. I'm actually a little upset that the warranty is twice as long.. Talk about a demented outlook lol

I'm just waiting for a phone that has a camera and screen as good as Samsung but allows CM to be installed on it. Or even better.. COS.
[Galaxy S6 General] Paz9:
UniKernel v8 is currently in testing :o
[Galaxy S6 General] Huey85:
Hahahahaha same here mate. I don't think I've ever stuck with a phone for longer than 14 months
[Galaxy S6 General] Paz9:
ok i tested COGA and COH3 baseband

COGA gives me 0-1 bar in my gym constantly

COH3 gives me 1 bar to 3 bars, noticable difference, ill try again tomorrow.
[Galaxy S6 General] jcodde:
God, it's just so hard to keep up! V7 is still in beta isn't it?
[Galaxy S6 General] Paz9:
v7-01 is stable i think, its in xtrestolite rom

v 7-00 was beta.

v8 is in testing as we speak, im assuming its just v7 fixed.

idk if v7 is based of the 920F but v8 is.

which should provide better ram management.
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
That's how it is with tech lol the S6 will be obsolete pretty soon and sooner if the Z5 ends up being as good as it sounds!

CBA tap and pay is fine.

---------- Post added at 10:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 PM ----------

It's 24 months because the ACCC made it so. if tripping knox didn't break your phone your warranty is fine.
[Galaxy S6 General] BobbyHenceMcGee:
Interesting, might have to give it a go.

---------- Post added at 10:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 PM ----------

Ah I see.

It's true that the ACCC basically says to manufacturers that they are legally required to fix phones that are with faulty hardware and within warranty but Samsung being the pieces of s#it they are would of course make it more difficult than simply fixing the phone and sending it back.. and I really don't want to wait months getting the ACCC to enforce the law on Samsung.

Already had a multitude of spiel's with them over a period of months getting them to order **** Smith to give me a refund as I was promised by them

Which they of course did in the end, but the point is: It's just easier to not trip KNOX in the first place.

Then again.. I could create a video of the phone before/during and after the KNOX tripping to confirm it wasn't the cause for any future problems if they happen.

Hm. I think the things I miss the most are all related to Tasker.
[Galaxy S6 General] Huey85:

[Galaxy S6 General] BobbyHenceMcGee:
Ah good saves me a unnecessary flash. Yeah these days I think they're all inclusive and only get changed if a problem is found.
[Galaxy S6 General] timrichardson:
or buy your next phone somewhere else. Believe it or not,Telstra has been great for us. I have not had an issue with Samsung phones but have with others. it's been said a lot here but you warranty is with the retailer, not with Samsung.
[Galaxy S6 General] BobbyHenceMcGee:
Yeah I keep forgetting that, I bought from The Good Guys. They've been fantastic in every way but never had to deal with them for warranty issues. I'm sure they'd be great if I ran into any problems warranty-wise. Might break my Knox tonight. Sick of no Tasker, lack of memory and lack of battery life.
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
I thought u were rooted n all that???
[Galaxy S6 General] theronlas:
Most large retailers will just replace or repair. It is not worth the bad press for them to be too picky (except water damage). Smaller ones can be problematic though.
[Galaxy S6 General] BobbyHenceMcGee:
I was, then upgraded to 5.1.1. This is the only phone i haven't flashed the living day lights out of thus far. I'm still flashing my Oneplus One daily to "satisfy my needs" but I miss it on the phone I actually use throughout the day :p

---------- Post added at 09:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 AM ----------

Yep makes sense. **** Smith are untrustworthy though. Long story. Never buying there again.
[Galaxy S6 General] BobbyHenceMcGee:
Well KNOX is tripped. X is installed along with UniKernel and FHA tweaks. Got to the point where Skype simply wouldn't work on my phone because Samsung has the worst memory management known to man. Literally the moment I pressed home screen or turned the display off Skype was booted from memory and had to re-load. Said to myself: I'm either selling this phone tonight or cracking KNOX. Made my decision, time will tell how good that decision was.. Given that I could have just sold it and used my OPO.
[Galaxy S6 General] jcodde:
What version of unikernel did you flash? I downloaded Xtrestolite a couple of days ago in preparation to flash and it included v6 so i also downloaded v7 separately.

However I noted someone more recently suggested xtrestolite now has v7 embedded in it. Is that correct? If so, i presume you still need to download the aroma installer to tweak it (eg FHA)?
[Galaxy S6 General] Paz9:
welcome to the dark side sir.

open a file explorer > system > find unikernel.prop these are your configurable settings :)

i found best speed / battery life with:

.scheduler=cfq < cfq scheduler ive done benchmarks and found this is the best constantly high rating scheduler.

.turbo=active < touch boost, when you tap your screen CPU speed boosts up prevents UI lag, if you dont notice lag with this disabled i would disable it havent tested too much on this disabled

.interactive=stock < stock kernel governer, other options; 'tuned' for performance or 'battery' for battery life, i find stock perfect.

.vm=tuned < not sure exactly lol possibly got to do with dalvik?

.initd=false < kernel does not run initd, leave false if ROM manages it (like XtreStoLite)

.gapps=false < false, allows gapps wakelocks; true, prevents gapps wakelocks i think this should be 'fix' or 'nofix' ill look in the kernel.

too bad UniKernel and XtreStoLite dont support F2FS

that wouldve been awesome.
[Galaxy S6 General] BobbyHenceMcGee:
Yes, X has V7 embedded. Since 2.3 final.

Also has the DHA/FHA and a whole bunch of other tweaks in the ROM setup. Which uses Aroma of course.

Can't remember if that is in the Add-on package or the regular ROM package although I'm fairly certain it's in the ROM package.

I just ODIN'd TWRP to break my phones cherry and ADB'd the ROM zips across after wiping the sdcard and factory format then ran the X Aroma installer which took care of the kernel and everything else.

---------- Post added at 11:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 PM ----------

Top stuff!

Thanks muchly.

Also if the developers of TWRP actually responded to Arter's request to add F2FS support that would be nice :p
[Galaxy S6 General] Paz9:
no probs

AFAIK F2FS has to be supported by recovery / kernel and ROM?
[Galaxy S6 General] BobbyHenceMcGee:
Think so.. It's like installing Windows on an EXT4 partition. Ain't gonna work, but change the bootloader (boot partition) and modify the Windows kernel to support EXT4 and you have yourself a good operating system :p
[Galaxy S6 General] Paz9:
i wouldnt suspect support would be difficult for it. i dont get why its not implemented by now.

Hey guys,

I think I have found a great combination of ROM+ Kernel. I installed the firmware that includes the new icons and such from the Korean S6 edge and then flash arter97 kernel on top of it. Stable because its an official rom from Samsungand multitasks like a boss, i could post a video if you guys want (I can get like 25 apps in multitasking at once). I average around 4:30 SOT and 16 hours standby. I really recommend it if you don't want to bother with custom roms and just want to stay with official Samsung builds (means you don't have to factory reset every time a new update from Samsung comes out).

Peace out :)

[Galaxy S6 General] razza1987:
Hi everyone. I am after opinions on which is better between XSA software or software from carriers. I have had software from a different countries carrier on my phone while waiting for 5.1.1 to be released in Australia. It has since been released in Australia so obviously I want to download it as my phone will work better with software from my own country. I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with using the XSA software and if there is any benefit using it ahead of carriers software and what the benefits are from using either

---------- Post added at 11:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 AM ----------

I'm trying to choose between the XSA 5.1.1 firmware and the Telstra 5.1.1 software. I am new to this kind of thing so please speak in layman's terms xd
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
It depends, usually XSA is better but if u don't mind any bloat that Telstra issue and u are with Telstra then go with that. XSA usually get updates first but last time Vodafone was 1st so I guess it's down to personal preference.
[Galaxy S6 General] razza1987:
I decided to go with the XSA firmware. The idea of earlier updates sounds appealing. I had the first time I tried to download it it stopped at 400mb downloaded. At around 250mb downloaded the second time it temporarily paused but I hit pause and restart and it started downloading again. Gotta love slow Internet connections
[Galaxy S6 General] razza1987:
Is there any other website to download the 5.1.1 XSA firmware than the sammobile website? I have had it TWICE now time out the download because of how slow the downloads is on the free website that sammobile uses

---------- Post added at 06:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 PM ----------

root seemed to have stuffed up. Now i'm getting a "Recovery Is Not Seandroid Enforcing" after I flashed the CF-Autoroot. Any pointers on this? Phone is stuck at bootup screen with that message.

EDIT: ps. I was on 5.1.1 prior to attempting the root. Fixed the error by ODIN'ing the XSA 5.1.1 but now, how do I go about rooting the phone? Does CF Auto root only work on 5.0.2 devices?
[Galaxy S6 General] skinza:
That message is normal with custom recovery

Nothing to worry about

To root just flash unikernel with either recovery or odin and you will be rooted

There is 2 separate downloads one for ODIN and 1 for recovery
[Galaxy S6 General] Huey85:
Seems to be stuck at that screen though. Think I figured it out anyways. Thanks mate.
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
Yup like he said just flash unikernel and ur rooted. It really is the easiest way and then u can move on to the good stuff ? CF-Auto root is useless bcoz the file for our version is corrupt and yeah I think it only works on 5.0.2 but u have to use the F variant bcoz of the corruption.

Flash the UniKernel thru Odin for best results. Just put the file in the AP section, wait for it to finish the md5 check n fire away

---------- Post added at 05:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 PM ----------

I just moved to Arter97_kernel to see how that goes n I might even give the back_to_note rom a spin ?
[Galaxy S6 General] Huey85:
hmmm even after flashing unikernal via odin its still stuck.

so what i did is:

1) flash TWRP with odin

2) flash unikernal also via odin

3) restart phone into recovery but TWRP is not set and its gone back to stock recovery

any thoughts? sorry for noob questions but this is first time i've rooted or modded samsung devices.
[Galaxy S6 General] brezzo:
Perhaps flash TWRP with odin, make sure you can boot into TWRP, and then move the flashable zip of the kernel onto your internal storage, and flash it via TWRP. Might work instead of using odin both times. Also once you flash it in TWRP, you should just wipe cache / dalvik in case that is causing boot loops/issues. It might take a while to boot the first time, too.

To get twrp to work

What you have to do is when the screen goes black after odin finishes installing it you need to hold down the buttons to boot into recovery

Iy should boot into twrp custom recovery

That's what I have to do and from than on it works like normal

Do the above first

Then reboot from recovery into download mode and flash the kernel

Sorry I was off getting pissed lol when u flash TWRP u have to boot straight into it other the stock recovery will overwrite it (just for future reference).

Thanks buddy - All my APN's are as they should be for Optus, so I'll try flashing the modem from the XSA 5.1.1 stock ROM later as well and see if that fixes the issue.
