Not sure if it will help but try using Samsung Smart switch instead of Kies ..I believe Kies has been replaced with smart switch ..maybe it wont ask for a serial .. At least to unbrick it . I don't think you can use a different serial like mentioned above it will go through installing but when it reboots it will give you a red text error about a mismatch. But try smart switch to try to at least unbrick it.

Mm problems

Hey guys,

So I bought this phone in HK and have been using it in the US. Updated to MM last week and mobile data hasn't been working (T-Mobile). Zero connectivity. Wifi, text/call works fine, and data too before MM update.

It shows 4G and signal bars but not the usual up/down arrows besides the 4G on the top.

Thanks!

Hi, need some more help.

I was trying to flash that HK fw on my G9250 , and was getting error in odin , and the phone stopped booting up. Now i'm trying the chinese version, and i get All OK in the odin, but the phone doen't boot , it goes to android recovery screen , saying E: Failed setting up dirty target / dm-verity verification failed...

So what can i do now? any suggestion ?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] ylan128:
i have the same problem before. i have sm g9250 chinese version. try flashing the HK firmware with .pit files. work fine for me. download the pit file here http://www.droidviews.com/download-pit-files-for-galaxy-s6-edge-all-models/

then in odin add the HK firmware. in the pit tab add the pit file you download. and in the option tab make sure re-partition is check.

but it might brick your phone so you must be very carefull. make sure you have a good cable and stable power source.

hope this help you.

What ROMs are people using on the g9250 ?

I've recently started using a Chinese ROM called Tomatolei v13. Wasn't easy to install as the process with the zip file thru custom recovery is in Chinese. It does have the Samsung bloatware removable as an option, and runs quite smoothly.

Has anyone found other custom marshmallow ROMs for the 9250 which they are happy to recommend?

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] suddene:
A little info/tip :

I was on 6.0.1 rooted and custom recovery & attempted to do a backup using Samsung Smart Switch pc app & I got a pop-up in smart switch telling me there was an update for my phone.. approximately 1.7gb

MMB29K G9250ZTS2DPF2

So I took a chance and let smart-switch auto update which was successful & of course it was going to revert me back to stock ...

When the update was complete, I noticed the OS was still 6.0.1 but noticed a few different settings now such as a more detailed update checking Option under about screen (now you can schedule update checking times etc) and some other minor changes...

Anyway, I went and attempted to root and install twrp 3 using the previous package I posted a few months back using Odin and was successful flashing the modified kernel and recovery. No force closes, no issues, at all ..everything working perfect..

couldn't find a detailed changelog to see what is new but if anyone with 9250 gets the update Option in smart switch, they should know it is fine to update and re root the previous method with no issues :):victory:

Correct file for my Build Number?

Hi all, I am new to the forums (and to rooting), so apologies for any missteps I may commit. I am looking for help on the following:

My goal is simple: My phone, for unknown reasons, suddenly did a factory reset or a similar action resulting in everything being deleted from the phone.

I want to try to recover any files that may still be salvageable on the phone, but it seems I need to root it to make recovery software able to dig for delated.

Model/Manufacturer: Samsung SM-G9250 (Galaxy S6 Edge)

Android version: 6.0.1

Baseband: G9250ZTU2DPG3

Region: Hong Kong

However, the only files I can find for the build ID/Baseband are these:

MMB29K.G9250ZCU2DPC3

MMB29K.G9250ZTU2DPC5

Any idea if these would work or if possible to find a file for the right build ID/Baseband?

Thanks

dm-verity verification failed...

I have flash hk6.0 firmware into my 9250, however, whenever reboot, it comes to recovery and shows 'dm-verity verification failed...' at the bottom of the screen.

I want to know about the cause:

1. should firmware be flashed with the separate lit file even it is included in the xx.tar?

2. should the reboot not be checked? ( tried, failed:( )

3. is it shows somenthing wrong with the kernel?( but the kernel has be included in the firm?)

4. does a new flashed recovery will work?( trying)

thanks for helpping,pls!!

Hey guys i currently live in the U.S and bought the samsung galaxy s6 edge sm-g9250 , i bought it online on a whim and am kind of regretting it now ....its set to arrive sept.6 but i can return it if the box is unopened , ive been looking all over for answers about this phone and stumbled onto this thread ( sorry i dont know much about developing or tech for that matter)can someone please tell me everything there is to know about it so that i can make a decision on wether to open the box or not? ....also the phone is unlocked so i assume it will work in the U.S even though its from Hong Kong (please inform me if im wrong)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] croash:
S6 edge has good and bad points IMHO. I think it's uncomfortable to hold for long periods of time, and if you are into ROMs and rooting, the g9250 is not a good choice, as most of the development of alternative firmware is in Chinese....custom ROMs in English are pretty non-existent, so support for English users is nil.

Hope this helps your decision.

Helping

Ok!! I Live in Canada, I was asked to deal with a chinese G9250 Edge Baseband, ZCS2DPH2, Build MMB29K, Facing exactly the same inconvinent as every one, no play store, and you know the rest, chinese characters and so on, I had been researching every where this weekend, i unlocked the bootloader, with Crom service, I rooted, isntall TWRP, but never could enter to the custom recovery to flash a Modified Rom( i have one that works just with 5.1.1) but since i could not get through the recovery, I just gave up.. Todat I drove to delievered the cell phone and the bad news, but the owner wasn't at home, so came back home, took a big Breath, and begun to search again, Believe me in half hour I found, the solution, I flashed the phone, with the Firmware G9250ZTU2COB, Hong Kong (TGY) and this Pit File, they call it magic " pit file.. (Cause is said work even with no names Edge )

this process downgrade your G9250 form 6.0.1 to 5.1.1, and you get what you are missing, Play store and all the android goddies, on top of that, you can update it, to 6.1.1 without any problem no more chinese characters(it has the the language of course among all, if you wanna use it).. when I downgraded it, I could not see my imei, entering *#06#, but in *about device* Menu, yes I see, it, as soon as was updated, no problem seeing the emie entering that sequence.. I tested it connecting to the 3 canadian networks, and it did connect..

So this is my firt post, therefore i don't know if i am allow to post names or links where to download the files need it.. just Pm and i send you the links to get you solving this dilema..

Honk Kong SM-G9250 6.0.1 just a little info that could be useful , successfully updated to latest OTA update and custom recovery with MAgisk Root

Phone was running slow so I decided to factory reset and since I am rooted with a custom kernel , I went ahead and performed a Device initialization using

Samsung Smart Switch ( the process where it asks for model and then asks for serial number ) so it completely restores back to stock, including default stock kernel and recovery.

after doing this, I received a new OTA update (6.0.1 still but some more fixes and a few new features I believe) .

This was a new update apparently that was pushed a few days ago. I did not get this update while I was rooted only when I restored to stock..

after allowing it to perform this update, I was still able to Use Odin and install both the custom kernel and TWRP recovery .

Then I restored phone again to try something different and this time I used smart switch to factory reset again, smart switch restored phone to the above mentioned latest version which was available as OTA a couple days ago.

After that was complete, I used Odin to just flash twRP recovery, and skipped the Odin flash of the custom kernel ( which rooted the phone) and booted into twrp and flashed the alternative root method called Magisk, ver 10.2, also flashed the pphp supersu zip ( both are universal available on the official Magisk thread)

https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

with success, then installed the Magisk Manager apk after booting up and phone is working great a couple days now with root and custom recovery.

I like Magisk because you can use it to download lots of scripts such as auto installing XPOSED and some other tweaks/ hacks .

also Magisk allowed you to hide root for any program built in which came in handy a few times .

Magisk also has a flashable zip to uninstall in case necessary

Note:

if you flash Magisk In recovery and get a error about virtual space being full( forgot exact error) you can just go to advanced section in TWRP then use file browser to go to the temp folder and delete the contents of temp folder then back out and flash Magisk and it will work with no error

Thanks for this information Suddene. I've got the same model, and there is a disappointing lack of custom ROMs.

Here ya go, its the same link I posted a while back that has the entire root, recovery, custom kernel ,odin package (minus the Magisk files. )

Be sure to avoid flashing the odin zipped kernel in that zip if doing Magisk process because it is not needed.

Below is the link for custom roms for Chinese and HK G9250.

http://www.soului.com/forum.php?mod=forumdisplay&fid=56&page=1

Working root in Chinese with English TWRP theme.

http://bbs.shoujifans.com/forum-100-1.html

I know the links are in Chinese but you have to use Google Translate to read more details. I am having regular S6 Dual Sim from HK and currently Using Soul V5 + Soul kernel posted today. Obviously you need root. During installation it allows you to select either Chinese or HK roms. However they mention that you should not installed Chinese G9250 rom on HK version or vice versa due to some hardware compatibility. Even the HK roms doesnt come up with Google Play Store but they have a zip file for installing just the play store.

P.S. As mentioned i cant verify how the edge rom work because i have the regular S6 dual phone and they are currently running quite ok. Soul team have released the kernels too for both S6 and edge and their rom allows you to change status bar icons with soul tweaks apps.

P.P.S. - I have found the soul teams and the other chinese teams for root and TWRP to be very fast and normally an update is posted within hours of new ROM posting. I couldnt get TWRP touch working on my phone and the TWRP team had said they would look into this issue while the Chinese team had got it working and even posted the English theme for those like me who dont read Chinese language.

P.P.P.S I take no responsibility for any brick issues so please install at your own risk. Happy Flashing :).

I am thinking about about getting a G9250 HK due to its superior support of different network bands. I do not speak Chinese, should I worry about language on G9250? Are recovery and download modes are in English? Do you think Samsung Pay will work when launched here in the US?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] tsangwc:
When you first turn on the phone, it will let you choose your language so no worries there. Recovery and download mode are in English. I don't think anyone can answer you about how Samsung Pay will work for international variants.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mehdi_s82:
Has anyone here checked their G9250s to see if they have Isocell or Sony sensors? I'm just curious... From the main thread in S6, this is how to check it:

Key in *#34971539# in dialer and then tap “ISP VER CHECK” to reveal the sensors used in your front and rear cameras.

The Sony model will display SONY_IMX240_FIMC_IS, while an ISOCELL sensor will show up as SLSI_S5K2P2

Yes I also have red safety net error however I checked with dev of magisk and he explained it is not necessary unless you plan on using a handful of apps that actually take advantage of the safety net such as Android Pay and Pokémon Go.

Btw I was also able to install xposed magisk version which is great because now its pretty much like a full customizable rom .I added animated download and upload icons in status bar, a miui battery meter that rubs across horizontally,
