Well I guess that makes me gay lol coz I actually like W10 but ur right in every other way.

P. S. No I'm not gay lol not that there's anything wrong with that ?
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
I just said Win 10 is gay,. That doesn't mean I think the people that use it are...
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
Yeah I know that bro ? I'm just making a backup n then I'm gonna throw on XstreStoLite. How does the Aroma package work? Like how do u select various things to flash? Is it part of the setup process?

Not there via OTA yet.... [emoji22]
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
Thx brother ur a fountain of knowledge when it comes to links lol ?
[Galaxy S6 General] jcodde:
Yes, and I'm living vicariously through you.... ;) When i know you're sorted, I'll follow suit!
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
I'm sorted brother!
[Galaxy S6 General] cainn24:
I've waited patiently as countless small countries I've never even heard of get the latest updates months ahead of us over here in Australia. I've waited (not quite so patiently) as a Vodafone update has rolled in with no XSA in sight. And now I'm waiting decidedly

im

patiently after an S6 Edge XSA update rolled in ~24 hours ago with no 920i XSA update in sight.

Why does Samsung hate us?

Meh

[/rant]
[Galaxy S6 General] jigna:
Any news on what's different with the Singapore version?
[Galaxy S6 General] Huey85:
So far nothing that I can tell compared to the INU COGA 5.1.1. Odd though, France got an update with some audio enhancements
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
I'm just about to jump to it now, seeming though edgar has stalled on developing XtreStoLite. I will post my thoughts on getting root etc. after I'm up and running...
[Galaxy S6 General] timrichardson:
I really thought we were over using 'gay' as a pejorative. even as I search through every ridiculous negative stereotype that ignorant simple minded people may associated with gay people I still can't work out how an operating system is gay. do you mean colorful? funny? When I think gay and computers I think of Alan Turing and Stephen Fry, neither of whom are likely to be impressed with windows 10. Let's keep this an inclusive friendly community united by our passion for devices.
[Galaxy S6 General] maltsefalcon:
Optus say they've approved their update so roll out should be imminent :)

It's on their community forum I can't post links because I'm a new member :(.
[Galaxy S6 General] Huey85:
https://community.optus.com.au/t5/Announcements/Android-Software-Updates-24-08-2015

wonder which will be rolled out first, XSA or OPS lol. Place your bets, folks!
[Galaxy S6 General] cainn24:
OPS of course. Then something will go wrong with the XSA release, or Samsung will just inexplicably decide to delay it, and we wont see it 'till half-way through next month.
[Galaxy S6 General] maltsefalcon:
Looks like OPS, I just got it. Downloading now!
[Galaxy S6 General] Huey85:
Yep, Samsung are updating their servers right now with it. SamFirm picked it up when I checked for the update but the file isn't ready yet:

Checking firmware for SM-G920I/OPS/G920IDVU2COGA/G920IOPS2COGA/G920IDVU2COGA

Error: Could not send BinaryInform. Status code 200/400

Request was invalid. Are you sure the input data is correct?
[Galaxy S6 General] maltsefalcon:
Optus just updated their blog post to say that this update doesn't include the stagefright patch, and that will be included in a future update. I thought stagefright was the reason the update was pulled last month?
[Galaxy S6 General] psmedley:
I think it partially fixes Stagefright. From the Telstra device updates thread "Updated submission received 7th August and currently in test. This update will include fix for the recently disclosed "Stagefright" Android security vulnerability. Note that Google have released a further patch to Android that completely closes the "Stagefright" vulnerability although dates for delivery of firmware with this patch integrated are not known yet."
[Galaxy S6 General] kmiloxdxd:
G920IDVU2COGA doesnt fix Stagefright, but new Singapore firmware G920IDVU2COH4 fix the stagefright vulnerabilitie.
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
Hey I'm not particularly worried about it but in my phones status it says I now own a S6 Edge and I'm on British CSC. Is this gonna cause headaches going back to stock of ever I wanna? BTW love the rom thx for recommending it ?
[Galaxy S6 General] scyphoz:
XSA OTA update is rolling out now for SM-G920I ~630MB.

Downloading it now!
[Galaxy S6 General] zakarados:
Nice, thanks for the heads up. Question though, I am on the indian INU with the same PDA version, is there any difference on loading the XSA version?
[Galaxy S6 General] cainn24:
This is teh sex0rs (and a bunch of other internet slang).
[Galaxy S6 General] jcodde:
I plan to play with this for a little while and root +/- move to Xtrestolite.
[Galaxy S6 General] BobbyHenceMcGee:
I lol'd :)
[Galaxy S6 General] Ragingsheep:
What's the build number?
[Galaxy S6 General] jcodde:
See my post a couple up from here [emoji6]
[Galaxy S6 General] Ragingsheep:
Thanks. Thought that was from the Optus update.
[Galaxy S6 General] Paz9:
anyone know the difference between COGA and COH4 stock 5.1.1 roms?
[Galaxy S6 General] kmiloxdxd:
coh4 fixes stagefright
[Galaxy S6 General] Paz9:
is that the only difference?

is there a change log somewhere i can go through?

also, what exactly are PIT files? what is their purpose? is there any advantages in using a different PIT file?
[Galaxy S6 General] BobbyHenceMcGee:
Most changes are not published because they're so minuscule and Samsung can't be bothered. That is probably the only change.

PIT files are something you should stay away from. They're for repartitioning and have the power to break your device if used incorrectly.
[Galaxy S6 General] Paz9:
thanks, im still on COGA i dont think i will change though if there is no other difference other than the sec. vulnerability

is there a way we can save the PIT file on the device(for fail safe purposes)? with earlier generations i used to use terminal to save it to the internal mc then transfer over to my PC.
[Galaxy S6 General] BobbyHenceMcGee:
Not sure, but you can use http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647 to download them. Just select binary nature and auto decrypt and grab one that is for your device and it'll sperate the ROM into the various files such as PIT, CSC, System.IMG, etc. But in real world situations you should never need to use it. Have fun :o
[Galaxy S6 General] Paz9:
thanks ill look into it, looks like a handy tool.

so there is no way to find out the change logs between COGA and COH4?

thats too bad :crying:
[Galaxy S6 General] kmiloxdxd:
official changelog:

Features/Enhancements of the 5.1.1 Update:

- OS upgrade to 5.1.1

- Google security patches (Stagefright)

- Samsung applications update

- Other global bug fixes, stability and security improvements

data from here the best page ever.
[Galaxy S6 General] BobbyHenceMcGee:
Nice one! Cheers ?
[Galaxy S6 General] Ragingsheep:
COH4 only has the first stagefright fix I believe - when I use Lookout's stagefright detector, it still says that I'm vulnerable.
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
SamFirm isn't picking it up yet unfortunately. I've ended up on British CSC and wanna get back to XSA
[Galaxy S6 General] jcodde:
Why? Does it make a difference?
[Galaxy S6 General] Paz9:
there is no XSA 5.1.1 AFAIK

and you cant downgrade to 5.0.2 XSA until theres a 5.1.1 update
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
No not really, I'd just feel better being on my own CSC. The rom is incredible by the way. I went to test how many apps it could handle in the background and lost count after 20 so it's ram management is heaps better coz of the dha tweaks I'm guessing
[Galaxy S6 General] Paz9:
i think this is it http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/54014/G920IDVU2COGA_G920IXSA2COGA_XSA/

Is there a way to only flash the CSC over current ROM?
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
Yup I know I can't downgrade but it shouldn't be long b4 we do have firmware hopefully
[Galaxy S6 General] Paz9:
see my prev post, i think XSA is already out!
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
There is but u would have to download it in binary form and SamFirm is the only one that does that AFAIK
[Galaxy S6 General] Paz9:
is there a guide somewhere on how to do this?

or is it not worth it?

im currently on BTW COH4 now just trying it out before i put a custom ROM, but the XSA is out, id like to flash the XSA modem/baseband on my ROM.
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
Of ur going to flash a rom it's probly not worth it but then again I want to do it and I'm already on XtreStoLite lol

---------- Post added at 02:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 PM ----------

There would be a guide somewhere tho, it's not hard as it's just like flashing anything else. SamFirm splits the binaries up into .img / system / boot etc
[Galaxy S6 General] Paz9:
haha my plan is to end up using xtrestolite for everyday use just wanna mess around first.

does xtrestolite change your baseband/modem/csc? from that i can tell its BTU based?
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
Yeah it changed mine to BTU and in settings it says I have an edge lol SamFirm just picked it up (XSA I mean) so I'm gonna download it just in case.
[Galaxy S6 General] Paz9:
yea same downloading now.

stolite is alot smoother than stock IMO

im gonna flash the XSA as soon as its done downloading then ill go back to stolite.

---------- Post added at 03:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 PM ----------

also i may have destroyed my pitfile, i did abit of messing around and flashed a pitfile im not even sure why i did it.

is it possible for someone to post up the PIT file for the SM-G920I variant. prefrably on an unbranded XSA phone (if that makes any difference) just need something to fall back on incase it dies.
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
If u are using SamFirm there's a little checkbox ☑ that says binary nature. Check that n it should give you all you need ? Although I don't think you'll need it after flashing back stock XSA
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
No, it won't cause dramas going back to 'stock', because Odin just smashes the new ROM over the top of every system file. As for your 'device name', you can change that in Settings->About. Just tap on 'Device name', then type in what you want to call it...

Oh, and for those of you jumping to the 'latest' XSA that's come out, be aware that it doesn't fix the Stagefright MMS exploit, and is based on the Android version DVU2COGA, written on the 28th July. The very latest stock version of Android for 920i's and 925i's is DVU2COH4, cooked on 11th August.

If you haven't the time or care to find out what the Country Sales Code folder actually does in your device, I suggest you become a fruit-iCake. If, after learning about CSC's you still think it's important...

throw the stock XSA on,

root the damn thing,

backup the CSC with a third-party app.,

throw on the stock DVU2COH4 from any CSC in Oceania (gives you a modem that works well on Australian networks),

root it, and

restore the Aussie CSC.

Thing is, it now depends on how fresh you want your food cooked...
[Galaxy S6 General] Paz9:
thanks guys!
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
I'm not worried about the latest firmware for 920i bcoz Edgar has nearly finished COH4 for XstreStoLite
[Galaxy S6 General] Paz9:
would it be safe to flash it over BOGG XtreStoLite?

i cant seem to download XSA from SamFirm :(
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
Yeah no drama. That's strange coz I just downloaded it and the only reason I haven't flashed it yet is coz I'm tethering to Visual Studio Online
[Galaxy S6 General] Paz9:
I can download it of samfirmware but not the SamFirm exe.
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
What is SamFirm saying "exactly!"

---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:59 PM ----------

Do u get an error code?
[Galaxy S6 General] BobbyHenceMcGee:
Try manually entering the build details.. AKA switch to manual mode.

Had a problem where it wouldn't pick up a build based on the CSC and phone model, switched to manual and entered exactly what I was looking for and it worked.
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
That's what I did but for CSC write G920IXSA2COGA
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
Click the Thanks button at the bottom left of the post if the information in it has been helpful. Even better, buy those with a 'Donate To Me' button below their avatar a cup of coffee. Cheers!

CSC is a three letter code which tells the OS what region of the world it's in, and the part it plays in the overall scheme of things is to instruct the baseband chip ('modem') how to connect to network provider services in that region. Decompile a custom ROM ZIP, go into the system folder and look for the CSC folder. In it, you'll find libraries, database files and editable eXtensible Markup Language files which outline the APN settings required to hook up specifically to the network provider that released the branded ROM. The XSA (unbranded) stock ROM includes settings for all Australian providers. What you have written in your post - G920IXSA2COGA - is the build version number for the Android operating system inclusive of its Country Sales Code.
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
Like this
[Galaxy S6 General] BobbyHenceMcGee:
Okay then.. :p
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
That's actually a terrible f#ckin screenshot, what happened there!
[Galaxy S6 General] BobbyHenceMcGee:
Will be installing G920IDVU2COH4 from SGP unbranded ROM shortly then flashing it along with the modem from the latest XSA build COGA. Perfect timing for the Samsung data servers to go slow (1.5MBps downloading about 3.2GB)

Was getting 11MBps the other day and wasn't in any rush and now I can't be bothered waiting and I'm getting slow as hell. Go figure.

---------- Post added at 04:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 PM ----------

lol glad you noticed, albeit too late.

Try Snipping tool.
[Galaxy S6 General] Paz9:
Input string was not in a correct format.

only happens when binary is checked
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
the original looks fine both on my lappy and phone but anyway thats way off topic. Did he finally get it going? I just downloaded about half n hour ago n it was slower than normal but not drastically so. Maybe a lot have ppl have jerried that its finally up, who knows!

---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:21 PM ----------

I honestly don't think you'll need to worry about the PIT file but btw what made u do that in the first place???
[Galaxy S6 General] Paz9:
i have a tendency of wanting to brick my phone, destroying all files in the process

its a ritual i do whenever i get an Android.
[Galaxy S6 General] BobbyHenceMcGee:
Sounds awful, NO PIT FOR YOU!
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
lol that's hilarious for others but not so for you. How did u go, did u get SamFirm playing nice?
[Galaxy S6 General] BobbyHenceMcGee:
Epic tip: stay away from PIT files and stay away from flashing bootloaders willy nilly. Changing from 5.0.x to 5.1.x is fine but randomly switching between ones that are both 5.1.1 is just begging for a disaster. As a general rule I don't like flashing bootloaders ever unless I absolutely need to to get a ROM working.

Hence why flashing from 5.0.x to 5.1.x is fine, because it's necessary.

.. And if you still break devices like an amateur then it might be time to give in to Apple. At least when you spend a butt load of money with them the chances of breaking the device through software is about 1% that of Android
[Galaxy S6 General] Paz9:
yea i got it to work, no binary for XSA atm though
[MENTION=3015775]Stevles[/MENTION] as i said i do it on purpose i know what im doing most of the time.

ive bricked my phones multiple times (on purpose) to see how certain things work

ive even purposely deleted my root folder and totally destroyed the phone but i was still able to get adb working somehow which was enough to push the files back. (long tedious process with cygwin and adb)

apple? lol, you crack me up, the whole purpose of wanting an android is to fiddle with it.

so about that PIT file lol nah i jest, i have my pit file backed up, i knew "phone.pit.bak" file was important so i didnt delete it

back to xtresolite i go.
[Galaxy S6 General] BobbyHenceMcGee:
You're a very strange critter. Pretty easy to work out money isn't an issue for you :P
[Galaxy S6 General] Paz9:
ha

i mean if i can do every mistake possible while rooting/flashing, i can probably help out another poor fellow getting their phone back alive '

one thing i did notice from my previous S3, the flash process is almost the same (alot easier in odin now) and flashing on the s6 is alittle bit more complicated because of knox and alot more on 5.1.1 and updated 5.0.2.

ive tripped my knox, i dont plan on using my warranty lol.

one of the reasons i love android is because its an android ha

also, if people want to prevent that floating message popup from appearing from app messages

adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0

still trying to figure out of its possible to prevent message previews on the notification bar.
[Galaxy S6 General] BobbyHenceMcGee:
Yeah true.. You can still claim warranty if you're completely sure the motherboard is bricked physically. No sign of life = impossible for them to know if you've tripped knox.

"Oh, I was flashing an OTA and the screen went dead! CAN YOU FIX IT PLEZ?" :laugh:
[Galaxy S6 General] Paz9:
i never thought of that lol, but one of the reasons they make it hard for us to flash/root is because of warranty claims, i dont want to contribute to the more reasons they should be making it harder.

if i brick my phone ill take full responsibility, if i cant fix it, i shouldnt be trying to change it.
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
I like the way CyanogenMod do things n it's a shame Google don't/won't follow suit. I'd love to try CM12 on this phone but I guess I'll have to wait until Marshmallow when Fingerprint support is baked in
[Galaxy S6 General] Paz9:
i concur

google should hire the entire Dev community here and let them run Android

Apple will become obsolete lol
[Galaxy S6 General] BobbyHenceMcGee:
Yeah the only reason I've ever returned a device for warranty is because I was flashing a bootloader and ODIN kicked the bucket half way through.

No idea why, it just popped up with an error. Which for all intensive purposes may as well have said: "MUUAAAAHAHAHAHA"

But yeah it completely and utterly fried the PCB, which lets face it.. It shouldn't have. So I took it back and got a replacement. Haven't returned any since.

The Note I got after that one was replaced was EMMC bricked thanks to Samsung's massive oversight, but by that stage I was due for a replacement anyway so I couldn't be bothered returning it :p
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
I don't know about the entire dev community but they definitely should cherry pick
[Galaxy S6 General] Paz9:
well yea :p
[MENTION=3015775]Stevles[/MENTION]

dont these boards have preventative measures against frying PCB?
[Galaxy S6 General] BobbyHenceMcGee:
I'm sure they do, if you don't get one that is faulty :p

I explained to Kogan what went wrong and they replaced it free of charge. As good as Samsung QA is, nothing's perfect :)
[Galaxy S6 General] Jublong:
I was given the G9208 S6 (the chinese mainland model) from optus as part of my plan. But this version doesnt seem to have any compatible custom roms :(

Anyone know if I'm allowed to request a replacement australian model?
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
[MENTION=3433052]virtyx[/MENTION] have u reflashed again and have u changed back to Aussie CSC? Just wondering how it went
[Galaxy S6 General] Huey85:
https://mega.nz/#!gl1RDSKD!OC64N7pcyFfhTSIHzHs-DNPz1YgFdVK4Xx9ojL7PUw8

Mirror for the XSA COGA 5.1.1 if anyone needs it (downloaded from Samsung servers with SamFirm)
[Galaxy S6 General] jcodde:
Can anyone confirm the following for me? I'm on XSA COGA 5.1.1 and planning to root using the unikernel method. Will this (1) trip Knox; (2) alter the bootloader, modem and CSC files; and (3) can I reflash the stock ROM via Odin to return Knox back to an untripped state?
[Galaxy S6 General] Huey85:
1) yes Knox will be tripped

2) yes

3) no. You cannot revert your Knox trip counter
[Galaxy S6 General] jcodde:
So for 2) is this why [MENTION=5680745]boxa72[/MENTION] and some others were talking several posts back about overwriting the CSC folder with the lastest XSA data? My query is really am i going to lose signal strength/4G capability by not having a modem best suited to Australian mobile phone services?
[Galaxy S6 General] Paz9:
went smooth

look here for mmc/mnc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_country_code

probably not, but Australian MMC/MNC have more frequencies.

the CSC has little to do with frequency imo i havent really seen data to suggest it does, its just a regional code nothing else.

go to your APN and edit, look for MMC / MNC its automatically set for your provider, which leads me to believe its changed in the OS.
[Galaxy S6 General] jcodde:
Would you explain how you did it and what is done?
[Galaxy S6 General] razza1987:
I have been using the Indian firmware for 5.1.1 waiting for the Australian version to come out. Can anyone tell me where I can download the Australian firmware from and if it comes with the auto stop feature in the battery section enabled?

Thanks for any answers. It's my first post here
[Galaxy S6 General] Paz9:
i downloaded the firmware from samfirmware website

put phone in download mode

i inserted the XSA firmware in BL (probably dont need to put it in this if your bootloader is the same), AP, CP, AND CSC

connected the phone, odin says "device added", click start get a cup of coffee itll take 10-15mins.

your probably just better off putting it in AP, but ive changed abit of my previous OS.

if youve just flashed roms before and no other twinkering, just put the firmware in AP alone.

if your csc is different, add it to CSC too.

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/

insert your model number (eg SM-G920I) and look for the australian firmware with "XSA" in the CSC
[Galaxy S6 General] razza1987:
Does that firmware have the feature of auto stop or was it removed for the Australian version? Thanks for the help
[Galaxy S6 General] Paz9:
what is auto stop?

if you mean auto stop in the samsung utility yes (where it shows you free RAM, battery % and % of storage free, yes it does)
[Galaxy S6 General] razza1987:
I'm talking about the feature that came with 5.1.1 under the battery section where you can choose apps to auto stop after ten minutes. Not all versions of 5.1.1 have this feature as they have it removed by the telcos
[Galaxy S6 General] Paz9:
yes its the samsung utlity called smart manager
[Galaxy S6 General] razza1987:
The Indian firmware has the smart manager but they removed the auto stop feature so that's why I was asking
[Galaxy S6 General] Paz9:
nope, the 5.1.1 still has the auto stop feature in the next tab of ram management in the application.
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
Awww f#ck me I just re-flashed XtreStoLite only to realise I forgot to backup my XSA CSC lol back to the drawing board?
[Galaxy S6 General] razza1987:
Wow thank you so much for telling me. I thought it had been removed when it was no longer under the abnormal battery usage section. Much appreciated :)
[Galaxy S6 General] Paz9:
use samfirm, click auto, click binary, VAU to download, in the CSC file you download there is a stock CSC_AUS_XSA.

np razza

i see t hat the XSA is COGA, and the latest firmware is COH4 however COH4 isnt available for XSA region

i read that COH4 has performance and security updates along with the stage fright vulnerability
