Thanks for the confirmation mate.

Have flashed it myself and can confirm this to be correct.

For anyone else interested in a "dirty flash",

1. Use SamFirm to download the INU firmware for your SM-G920I/SM-G925I

2. Download ODIN

3. Put your phone into download mode (by holding volume down + home + power simultaneously)

4. Flash via ODIN (load the file in the AP field)

5. Breath heavily for 10-15 minutes as the flashing commences, and your phone reboots.

7.0 XSA is available now kids.
[Galaxy S6 General] Guido65:
Bye bye Indian 7.0.
[Galaxy S6 General] Zico 10:
Thanks for the heads up!

I have the Edge, and seems it surprisingly hasn't been released for the Edge yet, but I assume it will within the next day or so.
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
For those of you that are worried about losing root after flashing the newest XSA Nougat stock ROM on your Australian SM-G920I, concern yourself no more!

The CF-Auto-Root flash for the SM-G920F will root your 920I, just like it did for Marshmallow. I've done it myself on my own S6, and can confirm full root access on the stock Nougat ROM.

The following is a quick, no-nonsense guide:

(1) Backup your apps with Titanium and everything else you want to keep, then copy it all to your PC. Factory reset or not? I myself wipe everything every time I flash a new firmware so I get a fresh start, but offer no advice either way.

(2) Visit https://download.chainfire.eu/733/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-zeroflte-zerofltexx-smg920f.zip and grab the ZIP.

(3) Extract all that to a folder on your desktop, then move the G920IDVU3FQD1_G920IXSA3FQC3_G920IDVU3FQC5_HOME.tar.md5 file - the full stock XSA Nougat 7.0 ROM - into that same folder.

(4) Start your phone in Download mode, then on your PC run the ODIN that came with the CF-Auto-Root, connect your phone to that same PC via USB and flash in the new stock ROM.

(5) Let it boot, then shut it down and restart it in Download mode once more.

(6) Connect it to the same PC, reset Odin, load in CF-Auto-Root-zeroflte-zerofltexx-smg920f.tar.md5 and flash that to your phone.

(7) Let it boot through to the main screen, and you will have full root access.

Now, if I get any N:eek::eek:B replies like,

"Will rooting void my warranty?",

"Can you get root access without tripping Knox?", or

"What bloatware can I safely take out of the stock ROM?",

I will simply ignore them. The rooting vs. Knox discussion has been going on for years, so if you don't know the answers to those questions, you're best off doing your research.

Cheers to all, and if you've been hanging to jump to XSA Nougat but wanted root, the time is now to dive right in!
[Galaxy S6 General] Zico 10:
Still no release of the Edge firmware!
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
There's an INU stock ROM available.
[Galaxy S6 General] Zico 10:
I know, we spoke about it a few posts back, and I have it installed.
[Galaxy S6 General] CAG-man:
A few posts back a root method for the Nougat firmware mentioned. I rooted Nougat a different way and wanted to share. I flashed TWRP in ODIN and then installed Magisk root from TWRP.

*Note: The first time you enter recovery After flashing TWRP will put your phone in a boot loop. So when you enter TWRP first you want to install Magisk. After the phone has been rooted it will boot normally.

TWRP can be downloaded from the TWRP app in the play store. I will provide a link for Magisk when I am on computer.

1. Flash TWRP in ODIN.

2. Let phone reboot.

3. Restart into Recovery.

4. Flash Magisk from TWRP.

5. Reboot

6. Open Magisk app and update to finish root.
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
Only differences between that method and CF-Auto-Root?

Chainfire's method is much faster,

it installs a temporary Recovery instead of a permanent non-OEM one,

CFAR flashes in the SuperSU and Busybox without needing user input, and

CFAR restores the stock Recovery to keep things as close to vanilla OEM as possible.

Both methods still trip Knox, and to this day I'm yet to hear about anyone successfully restoring a rooted device's counter to 0x0.

can i flash twrp 3.1.0 through flashify after doing this? will it cause boot loops?
[Galaxy S6 General] kakabakk20:
yeah, like they would reply. yeah quoting your whole post was wrong... but i had search for twrp on cf auto root thread.. and read wherever they mentioned twrp.. but no one seems to have the answer... i rooted the phone through your method thanks for that... but the answer to twrp was no where to be found.. so i asked you. sorry for that too. :good:

If you don't want to help him, don't act like a smug prick about it. Ignore, move on.

Not everyone dedicates all of their time to this - in fact not many people do. A little friendly advice without shoving it down people's throats would go a long way.

[Galaxy S6 General] Zico 10:
VAU has been released for both the S6 and S6 Edge, OPS shouldn't be far off with Optus confirming a mid to late May release.

No word from Telstra, and not sure where the XSA for the Edge is hiding, but last time around it came out a day after the first service provider release (Optus I believe it was last year).

edit: FOUND IT

https://simunlockremote.com/g920i-modem-list/
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
Here's a quick How-To, for those who might want to try the same thing on their Galaxy S6...

Use SamFirm Tool, or whatever method you choose, to grab the latest stock XSA Nougat ROM. If you grabbed the ROM with SamFirm, decrypt it with the Tool. You should end up with a *.md5 file ready for flashing with Odin.

Get the latest TEL (Telstra), OPS (Optus) or VAU (Vodafone) ROM - depending on who your network provider is. Don't come back with, "I'm with Boost!", or "I'm with Aldi" or Virgin or whatever. As of the date of this post today there's only three network providers in Australia, so your voice text data etc. can only get to you via one of them, and if you don't know which one then the following process is beyond the scope of your ineptitude.

Decrypt and extract the contents of the provider ROM into a New folder on your (Windows) computer's desktop to find the modem.bin file. I myself use 7ZIP for this, but WinRAR can do it too.

Get the SM-G920F CF-Auto-Root ZIP archive. Make sure it's definitely the Android 7.0 one for the F, but don't worry because it's the EXACT SAME FILESET needed to root the 920I.

Extract the contents into a different New folder . You'll find the Odin program, and the Odin3.ini file you need to alter.

Open the Odin3.ini file with Notepad, and ensure the following lines are set like I have them here:

(ButtonOption)

Bootloader=0

PDA=1

Phone=1

CSC=0

UMS/PATCH=0

Put your phone in Download Mode, connect it to your PC via USB, then Flash the stock XSA ROM by clicking on the AP button and selecting the SM-G920I_1_20170405150613_v655x8d07h file.

Once that is complete and your phone is up on the Home screen, switch it off and restart into Download Mode once more.

Similar to before, but choose the (CF-Auto-Root-zeroflte-zerofltexx-smg920f.tar) file, Flash it, let the phone reboot to the Home screen, then switch off and restart in Download Mode for the last time.

With Odin, click the CP button, select the (modem.bin) file that you extracted from your provider ROM and Flash it.

When your phone restarts, you'll be running a rooted stock unbranded Australian Nougat ROM with your network provider's latest modem files.

Enjoy the ride...
[Galaxy S6 General] MultiSlayer:
Guys, my sons S6 (SM-G9208/SS), purchased from Kogan a while ago, is in a constant booting loop.

I can get into the download screen, and the diagnostic screen (clear cache, reboot etc). Can anyone give me a few things to try to bring it back? Thanks in advance.

Edit: Successfully reloaded the latest 9208 ROM with Odin, still stuck in a reboot loop.
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
Sadly, you do not have a Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G920I, or a SM-G925I, which are the two distinct models of phones this entire thread is devoted to.

To get the stock firmware for your 9208, visit:

https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s6/SM-G9208/BRI/download/G9208ZTU2EQE2/168512/

Get your phone into Download mode, flash that ROM in using the Odin program for Windows, then if you want root access, go see Chainfire at:

https://download.chainfire.eu/781/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-zerofltechn-zerofltezm-smg9208.zip

Use those two files you downloaded, and follow my Helper Post for how to 'flash' them both into your device.

Oh, and if you come back with,

"I use a MacBook",

then I can't help you, because I personally consider anything created by Steve Jobs and Tim Cook to be nothing other than garbage.
[Galaxy S6 General] DarkSayer:
Radio/modem

Hey Shotty, where do we find the latest rom specific to a carrier? ie: G920IDVU3FQC5 is Telstra according to your sig, what if I'm with Optus?

Cheers for the walk through so far!
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
I still use SamFirmTool, and just substitute XSA for TEL, or OPS, or VAU. Once you get the full ROM, you can split it apart with 7-ZIP to extract the modem.bin file and flash it in over the top using Odin. I myself am running the full stock XSA unbranded ROM, rooted with CF-Auto-Root, but with the modem.bin from the latest Telstra branded ROM flashed in after the whole thing's up and running. Remember, there's only three mobile network providers in Australia, so if you're with a MVNO - mobile virtual network operator, reseller, eg: Boost and Aldi using Telstra, Dodo and Amaysim using Optus - you're best off finding out whose bandwidth they're using and flashing the VAU, OPS or TEL modem in over the top of the latest XSA ROM depending on what network your provider is selling access to.

Check out just who sells what, here:

http://www.mobilenetworkguide.com.au/virtual_operators_information.html

Get the latest SM-G920I firmwares from zxz0O0's new SamFirmTool website, here (and scroll down past Argentina to find Australian ROMs). Make sure of both the ROM's release date and the carrier code before downloading...

http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=SM-G920I&rpp=15&order=region&dir=asc&exact=1

Hope that gets you sorted...
[Galaxy S6 General] DarkSayer:
Thanks for the run down man, I didn't notice the carrier firmware on that site when I looked last time.. Must of just clicked on the first 'Australia' I saw :silly:
[Galaxy S6 General] DarkSayer:
Is it necessary to flash CF-Auto Root in between these two steps?

Right now Odin displays 'File Analysis..' and hangs, so I can't to flash the Optus modem.
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
Check out my Helper Post and follow its instructions. Then, once you have installed the ROM and rooted it with CF-Auto-Root, flash the modem. If you are using the Odin program which comes packaged within the ZIP you grabbed from Chainfire, then you need to open the odin.ini file with Notepad, make the CP = 1 , and unlock the CP button. If you can't do that, I'm sorry but that's all I have on the subject, because

(a) the phone's over two years old now,

(b) every subject has been covered, and

(c) pretty much every question about this device has been asked and answered 1000 times already.

Here endeth the lesson...
[Galaxy S6 General] bazzanator:
Go to settings-about device- then tap on build number until it says developer mode unlocked or something similar.

Then hit back key and go to developer options and look for the option "force GPU rendering" and make sure it is ticked. Then open up multitasking and close everything. Then restart phone and see how you go.

Im just going to monitor battery life over next few days to see if it is affected much.
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
Really? That's interesting. I might look into that. Thx for the tip ?
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
You'll find out when you boot into Download mode. Keep an eye out for SECURE BOOT ENABLED up the top left. That says it all to me, and while it keeps coming up on mine I'm going to believe it's stopping me from putting in XtreStoLite's 5.1.1 bootloader and ROM. Right now, I'm gonna go back to the very beginning - G920IDVU1AOC4_G920IXSA1AOC4_XSA - and see what that does...

Oh yeah... in the meantime, if anyone knows where we can get the UNlocked bootloader for the 920i, I'd send a lot of :):D:o:D:) their way...
[Galaxy S6 General] boxa72:
Yeah I'm thinking about going back to the start and using CF-AUTO for a perma-root solution.
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
But then, sadly, we'll both be on the older FW. I'm hanging for 5.1.1, heard plenty of good things about the fixes it brings to the table.

Also, from what I can tell by booting into Download, my bootloader is locked, or at least that's what I believe SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLED in red up the top left corner means...

EDIT: Scratch that! I've since found out it's relatively the same for many S6 users, from this thread...

[Galaxy S6 General] zakarados:

[Galaxy S6 General] jigna:
I've been jumping from different (newer) versions using the roms from sammobile and Odin. Simple as downloading the rom, putting the phone into download mode, then flash through Odin. Obviously take that with a grain of salt, just because I haven't had issues doesn't mean it's not without risk.

[Galaxy S6 General] Huey85:
Managed to finally get it downloaded and installed via Odin3 but can't seem to see RAW support. Even checked with Manual Camera compatibility app too

Anyone else have that problem?
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
You need to install a third party camera app. that captures RAW images, such as the one I'm using right now, FGAE's Camera FV-5. That 'Manual Camera Compatibility' app. isn't giving you the right information. Also, the stock Gallery will not show *.dng files. What I mean is, you'll only be able to view the RAW photo after installing a Gallery viewer that supports *.dng files. I myself grabbed Q-Supreme Team's QuickPic 4.5.2 from Play Store, and it had no drama finding and displaying the RAW shots I took with the Camera FV-5 app. In the end, and after a little bit of mucking around, you will eventually have the ability to capture and view RAW photos on your S6, but only after you've updated it to Android 5.1.1 and put some new apps into service...

If allowed by Moderators, here is an Android firmware site that has links to India Branded (INS), India Unbranded (INU), Sri Lanka (SLK), Nepal (NPL) and Bangladesh (BNG) releases for the SM-G920i. The host site for the downloads is called upple.it, there's a Captcha thing you'll need to go through but once I got the download going through Internet Download Manager on my 100mbps fibre connection, I had the entire 1.56GB INU zip here in just shy of five minutes...

[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
All the 5.1.1 releases that have come out over the past couple of days for the 920i and 925i are simply a way for us impatient power-users here in XSA-land to get the newest version of Lollipop early. If you expect them to work like a XSA-coded ROM, when they're not written for this region of the world, then you're going to get a rude shock...

Can Knox be tripped if you are flashing official Samsung firmware?
[Galaxy S6 General] cheetah2k:
He probably root, then custom recovery and tried to flash that way lol
[Galaxy S6 General] harlz:
That'll do it.
[Galaxy S6 General] djshotty:
If you grab the correct official stock Samsung firmware for your device model from a reputable source, and flash it with Odin according to the instructions, you will not trip Knox. You will, however, make that happen if you flash in a custom recovery and/or rooted kernel (such as CF-Auto-Root or UniKernel, and recoveries like TWRP or Philz).
[Galaxy S6 General] harlz:
The S6 is my first galaxy since the s3 4g and I can remember all to well the pain of Knox and tripping it. Don't want to do that again.

So far I haven't had a reason to root the S6. Seems decent. Can theme without root and replaced touchwiz launcher with nova. So far so good.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] durbshas:
Recently I have been experiencing problems with my data connectivity on my Nexus 5. Quite often I will try to send a text message, and no matter what it will not send, even though I have full bars. After I reboot the phone, it will show "No service" for about 5 minutes before it shows a connection. I will then be able to send and receive messages. Sometimes messages that were backed up will appear hours or days after they were sent. This happens almost on a daily basis, multiple times a day, and I am getting sick of having to reboot it all the time.

One thing I have noticed is this occurs most after I travel somewhere. So when I get to work from home I won't be able to send or receive texts until I reboot, and vice versa. It's almost as if it is changing zones, and fails to connect to the new tower.

So what I am wondering is, is this an antenna problem with my phone or my service provider? I am on Virgin Mobile in Canada, which uses Bell service towers. I have checked the coverage map, and am well in the range of 4G/LTE. I have never had this problem on other carriers, and it most recently started after updating to Lollipop 5.0.1 or 5.1 (not quite sure exactly).

Any help greatly appreciated
