You guys want to keep your Apps but don't want to dirty flash. No root. No Titanium.

All you have to do in the old rom is create an update.zip from Titanium and flash in TWRP. Just confirmed
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] chukwu77:
So on my rooted s6 edge i cannot sideload this rom, also cannot flash this rom via twrp???? WHY WHY WHY?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] mikeyinid:
can someone get me the framework-res.apk from this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] chukwu77:
Its also worth noting that the sideload feature doesnt even work in TWRP on my edge either. Says Kernel does not have support for reading SELinux contexts. Im super pissed because i just wiped my phone to do this and it gives me this ****....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] mikeyinid:
are you using the twrp from the op?

On a side note, the edge features are pretty dope, kind of makes me wish i'd gotten that instead of the flat
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] whittikins:
Why not just use this, which doesn't require root?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] chukwu77:
I tried to use the Twrp from OP but when i click on it, it send me to a page with a bunch of code, there is no download there
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] mikeyinid:
lol. right click on the link and choose save as
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] chukwu77:
Ok so then i just use odin to load it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
No, you'll need to tarball it first.

tar -H ustar -c image_1 image_2 > your_odin_package.tar

Lemme know if you need help with that or if you'd like me to tarball it for you.

Flashed with no issues

---------- Post added at 11:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 PM ----------

Damn I thought this was rooted. Reverting now. I was going to covert this to a zip last night since it only takes 20 seconds tops but figured no one here would really need it . I guess we still have non root users so it will get some use . Was the bootloader removed from this package?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
Bootloader was never included. The guy who snagged it unfortunately did two things:

- Tried rooting it before sharing

- Flashed the old bootloader before sharing

(don't get me wrong, we're grateful for his sharing...)

As for reverting, you might have difficulties trying to restore your Data partition via TWRP. If you get that to work, lemme know. I'm currently "stuck" on 5.1.1, unless I want to wipe Data and start from "scratch".
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] spirodave:
All my worries just disappeared. I feel like an idiot after I just posted about whether or not the bootloader was locked in this update. Can this be rooted ?

---------- Post added at 11:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 PM ----------

I just restored my TWRP backup. I can confirm I had no issues at all . Successfully back to 5.0.2. Let me know if you have any other questions but all I did is restore like normal. I did a full wipe before I chose to restore.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
No known root yet. I've tried a few different methods myself, but none successful.

Strange, any time I've ever tried restoring the System partition, I end up with a bootloop. Therefore, I've resorted to just using Odin-to-Stock.

I'm not even sure if I have a backup of System anymore, heh. But regardless, it should just be the same as the Odin one...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Spider_Pig27:
The easiest way to do it is to put the .img on your phone & grab a app from the playstore called flashify then once you open the app select recovery image & then just locate where you placed it on your phone and proceed to install it 7 after installing it try rebooting in to recovery to see if everything went fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] spirodave:
I take it you are using a branded Tmobile S6 Edge? If it means anything at all I am not using the TWRP in the OP . I am using 2.8.6.0.

Do you get a fail or any kind of error message when restoring the system partition? There obviously has to be a reason for it failing on some but not others . I was a little worried when I read your post before because my restore was just completing and I really did not feel like going through my setup while at work .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] eousphoros:
I restored fine off of v2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] spirodave:
Good to know. I was a little leary of using it . Thanks for the info :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] chukwu77:
I was able to get 5.1.1 running but as you had a problem rooting so have I and now im stuck in that same boot loop u were in. gets to Tmobile sign the restarts with vibration. can you explain how you managed to fix this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] scottricketts:
Only odd thing I've noticed is my aux in for my car stereo stopped working. Other than that, I've got no complaints thus far. Going to flip on VoLTE and wifi calling to see if that makes a difference in battery life.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] chukwu77:
never mind i got it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bamfsig45:
Haptic feedback gone on back and recent buttons and no option to turn it back on? Anyone else experience this, or am I having a brain fart and it didn't have it beforehand?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ktetreault14:
Mhhh let's see how we do at work
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bamfsig45:
I flashed this S6 deep sleep fix that was in another thread. I'm getting deep sleep on this no issues.

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952595228

Credit to original poster/creator of this file...I Dont have time to look for the thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bamfsig45:
sorry forgot this screenshot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] mmmajor:
Soo..whats the benefits of 5.1.1. Anybody wanna share?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
fixed night clock, supposed to be better and managing ram, no cell standby issue either
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bamfsig45:
also as an FYI, if you have a nandroid of 5.0.2 you should be able to restore as I just did along with others. I also made a back up of 5.1.1 before I did. So theoretically I should be able to go back and forth I hope?

and my haptic feedback for back and recents is back once on 5.0.2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
Yeah, the only full nandroid of 5.0.2 that I have is borked, because I made that backup after I failed a root.

But that shouldn't matter, I'd think. I should be able to just restore my Data partition from 5.0.2, and otherwise Odin-to-Stock the rest, wiping cache/dalvik. But alas, that doesn't appear to work. Yields a bootloop. Wiping the data, though, allows me to return to 5.0.2 no problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] eousphoros:
It sounds like you are trying to restore a data partition from 5.1.1 to 5.0.2 which won't work
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Spider_Pig27:
How are you guys flashing this? On top of your current rom? Through odin? Sorry for the noon is question
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
Nope, I've got a data backup from 5.0.2 immediately before flashing the 5.1.1 update, and another from right afterwards.

Only backed-up the Data partition (which was apparently stupid?), because the Odin-to-Stock had previously taken care of everything else for me. E.g. if I screwed something up really badly, I could simply odin-to-stock, and then restore the data partition. Done.

In this case, that same procedure yields the bootloop.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] scottricketts:
I flashed over my 5.0.2 install via adb sideload.

The cell standby battery drain was there after I turned wifi calling and volte back on, plus the drain rate was horrific. The only issue I've had is my aux cable for my car deciding not to work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Spider_Pig27:
So if I have it on my phone all I need to do is boot into twrp & flash?

Do I wipe anything either before or after installation? Thanks in advanced
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] scottricketts:
I didn't but I may end up doing a factory reset to see if it fixes the audio and battery issues. YMMV
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Spider_Pig27:
By factory reset do you mean returning to complete stock through Odin or just doing a full wipe through twrp. Because yesterday I did a full.wipe through twrp & then flashed this but it said I had no OS installed after doing so.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] scottricketts:
Just data wipe.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Spider_Pig27:
Oh okay let us know how that goes, I tried it yesterday and ended up with no OS installed afterwards though. BTW thanks for helping me out on installation instructions
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
Looks like the best way to go about this would be to restore that old System backup, and then try to fix it. [MENTION=4287865]Sunderwear[/MENTION] was able to fix his bootloop by manually restoring the files that SuperSU broke. But what were all the files? What needs to be restored?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] eousphoros:
Just a small amusement I thought I would share. Despite xda linking to my posts a couple times on the front page. Like when I brought official cm12 to the tab s or for this rom. They will not mention my handle. Are they scared to put eousphoros on the front page ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
I think they assume that the typical user on xda doesnt have a high enough IQ to be able to phonetically pronounce your name!

https://blck.io/511boot.img

This is a stock boot image for 511 + an init script to enable write through on the two write protected devices. Fixes the deep sleep issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] whittikins:
So from a stock Tmobile GS6 Edge (G925T), one should take the following steps to get to 5.1.1 (clean wiped, unrooted, stock recovery, and working deep sleep)?

- Root device (What's the best set of instructions for this? I see the post in XDA, but it has followup comments with different files/instructions.)

- Backup /efs folder and /dev/block/platform/15570000.ufs/by-name/RADIO device <<-- Best way to do this?

- flash twrp-2.8.6.0v2-zeroltetmo.img (using Flashify)

- Reboot to recovery (TWRP)

- Factory Reset

- Flash blck_tw_511_samsung_oe6.zip

- Reboot

- Flash 511boot.img (using Flashify)

- Reboot

Is that correct? Any missing steps or out of order? I'm OK with losing data.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
- Last I checked, using the CF-Auto-Root for SM-G925T results in bootloops and fruitloops. The SM-G925F package worked better in my experience. Others report that the SM-G920-something works for them.

- There's some generic instructions within the first couple pages of this thread regarding how to backup your EFS and RADIO. This is technically an optional step, but it's never a bad idea to have backups.

- You can indeed flash the v2 TWRP with Flashify - there are some other methods to do it also (like tarballing it and flashing it via Odin, like I do).

- Factory reset is optional. Definitely make some good nandroid/TWRP backups, and any other backups you deem appropriate.

- Because we have no Root for 5.1.1, you won't be able to flash that 511boot.img via Flashify... that I'm aware of. We'll probably need to tarball this also..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] mikeyinid:
Would it be possible to unpack the boot.img and flip the X axes so this will work on the zeroflte? I flashed it last night and that was the only issue I noticed. I know jack about kernels so thought I'd ask you...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] eousphoros:
If you haven't flashed yet. I am uploading a new release with supersu completely removed and the deep sleep fix applied.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Spider_Pig27:
I'll just wait for the new upload then.:good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] eousphoros:
Its up
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Spider_Pig27:
Do we do a full wipe prior to flashing it?

Do we need to be on a complete stock rom?

Sorry just want to make sure before flashing

TIA
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] eousphoros:
Just make sure to have a full backup. You can flash over your existing system, though I would recommend at least wiping your dalvik cache
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Spider_Pig27:
Thanks for your help, Ill flash as soon as its done downloading.:good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] lawtq:
And then give us some reviews people. You lot are too quiet on that front
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Spider_Pig27:
All seems good here. The rom itself feels a lot snappier. The guest mode option is a very welcomed option on side. Now to see how good the deep sleep is on 5.1.1.

For those having issues with aux not working it does on the new update. Just tested it

Also if you guys go to about phone hold and pressed on 5.1.1 and then keep pressing it will launch a game. Idk if you guys knew about this I just thought I would throw it out there
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
I have read and re-read this thread a few times. And this probably has been covered ad nauseum. Other than a few apps that need root which for now i can live without, I assume if any screwups, as long as we can get into download mode, not a big deal to Odin, or smartswitch back to stock. Just heard too much how improved 5.1.1 is supposed to be, and since this still is using the older bootloader, that's not an issue as far as the "supposed" lockdown bootloader issues the ONE OTA user with 5.1.1 seems to be saying. Anyways, with the update just posted, downloading it as soon as I quit typing. Will flash and return with any issues. BTW, the custom kernel by Hybridmax over on the International site has posted a suitable kernel for various Edge variants including TMobile. I installed it yesterday. Only issue is with reboots it doesn't retain wifi passwords. But other than that, works fine on my TMobile variant and with stock image reinstalled to deal with deep sleep, I was getting much better deep sleep times....IOW, 65% state time last night when I didn't use my phone for 8 hours. OP stated next update would address the wifi password issue....just an FYI for those interested in custom kernels for the TMob variant. Ask the OP over on that Forum for more specifics if questions regarding the kernel in general.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] eousphoros:
Custom kernels are very unlikely to work with this rom or 5.1.1 in general until we get an updated kernel source dump.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] mikeyinid:
all you have to do is edit one line in the build.prop and it'll stop forgetting network credentials...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
Good to know. Still want to try this puppy, unless you feel like it's not worthwhile yet. Oh,,,and the one line edit please is????...just so i can test it right now, since I am running that kernel :)

Not familiar with tarball here. No issues with Odin. Can you post an update version of this V2 TWRP that I can just Odin install?

Thanks for the assist.

---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:45 PM ----------

Thanks. Will try that right now. Lastly, I had asked the other user about tarball assist. I am just used to using Odin to flash with. Can you post a converted v2 TWRP img posted by OP here so that I can just use it in Odin.

EDIT: HMMMM edited buildprop. Rebooted. Definitely says False . But still need to retype WiFi password.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] boosting1bar:
Maybe try reboot now that your entered the proper value? I believe when you reboot after the change it would have cleared it because it was loaded initially as true. Now that you've changed to false and reentered your password after it being loaded correctly it should save I think.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
After I installed the deep sleep version, my battery life has improved DRASTICALLY.

See screenshot. You can clearly see when I installed the new version today!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Trev420:
Have you done anymore tests as far as the ram/application management goes? The issue didn't start to bug me until recently, and would probly man up and spend a good part of my night learning how to flash this thing properly if 5.1.1 fixes this for sure.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
Not in front of my computer for probably the rest of the night. I don't know if you can create the Tar from android, but you certainly can from Linux or Cygwin (for Windows).

Can someone else handle this tonight for him/her?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ktetreault14:
Dirty flash?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
Yup.

Right over the existing 5.1.1. No wiping anything. I guess that's the very definition of dirty flash, heh
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] eousphoros:
Thank you for the confirmation. I got about thirteen hours and 7 hours of SOT from my first full charge with the v2 build. I'm really liking 5.1.1 on this device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bajasur:
How is the camera working on this build? I read that the 5.1.1 leak has borked camera?

Thanks

Flashing in 2.5 Minutes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] eousphoros:
Camera looks just as good to me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ktetreault14:
Not as clear. I had a pic I took over a bridge and on accident double tap zoomed into a little part on the ocean and you could see a dolphin. Maybe xda downgrades quality

Never thought I would put out a touch wiz rom. Though I'm having a hard time motivating myself to work on aosp. The stock rom is just too damn nice. (With a few small tweaks and debloating. I will probably cut an optimized debloated rom for the community this weekend)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bajasur:
One last thing,

I don't know what I am doing wrong but this is what I get when I try and download from that blck website.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] eousphoros:
Download the flashable zip. The system.img has some fixes in it to. Cruft I missed the first time uninstall supersu (ddexe, etc)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Spider_Pig27:
I really hope you go forward with this. I think we need this badly!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:

---------- Post added at 07:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 PM ----------

Can you post an Odin flashable TWRP V2 file if possible.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
I lied. I am home again for a half-hour tonight, and got a chance to get this uploaded. This is the TWRP v2 that I've been using - I find it sometimes easier to flash recoveries via Odin - especially when using things like Odin-to-Stock all the time. :/

finally decided to take the plunge

So I finally decided to take the plunge and it worked great! I have the T-Mobile S6 Edge and I took the out of the box OTA to AOCG.

For anyone coming from totally stock trying to load this ROM, here were my steps:

1. Download Samsung's latest USB drivers (and install)

2. Download Odin 3.10.6 (and extract to a folder I created at C: ODIN)

3. Download TWRPv2 from the OP

4. Download the v2 ROM from the OP

5. Download the 920T file from chainfire

6. Turn off device completely

7. Boot into download mode (vol down + home + power)

8. Load chainfire root into AP, flash... FAILED!

oh **** oh **** oh **** mash buttons try to flash again, device connection lost, windows doesn't recognize the device!

**mash buttons until it changes from the download screen with a progress bar stuck at about 35-40% to a screen telling me there was an error and I needed to download the smart switch pc software**

9. Unplugged, replugged in phone

10. ODIN recognized it, flash chainfire root, SUCCESS!

11. reboot, install flashify, copy TWRPv2 from OP to the phone's download folder, flash from flashify interface

12. transfer v2 ROM from OP to download folder

13. power down

14. boot into recovery mode (vol up + home + power)

15. make nandroid backup... at least it says it completed successfully

16. factory reset, wipe system, wipe cache

17. flash ROM file

18. reboot!

Anyone else notice Sammy removed haptic feedback on 5.1.1....? I'm comparing sounds and notification settings bits between this and S5, no haptic feedback showing on S6 edge 5.1.1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] kswa1987:
meaning there is no option to turn it off? yeah I can't find it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bajasur:
I'm experiencing the opposite. I the cannot turn haptic feedback on. The pictures compare S5 lollipop vs S6 edge 5.1.1 lollipop. This was different on 5.0.2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] kswa1987:
Yes the options were definitely different on 5.0.2

I've also noticed that the GPS active indicator has moved to the right hand side of the status bar and it no longer shows a notification card in the notification shade (which I actually prefer).

Also, Samsung looks to have finally ditched the water / pond effect on the lockscreen when it's not locked. It's still a bit... ostentatious.

Thanks for the info and help everyone. Don't know if this helps but figured I'd try to contribute. Just some screenshots of stock 5.0.2 vibration settings.

Be sure you try changing between silent, vibrate, and sound modes to see if they are just hidden in certain modes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] whittikins:
Nice. Why the 920t instead of 925t to root? I'm about to go through this same process and am just looking to be prepared.

Also, any idea why it failed at one point? Anything I should do differently?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] boosting1bar:
Can't wait for that version!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
until further notice DO NOT install the 925T auto-root, it causes bootloops (I like to call them fruitloops). Personally, I use the 925F to root, but pretty much everyone else seems to be using the 920T.

As for his brief failure, I'm unsure.

---------- Post added at 12:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 AM ----------

Ew. I actually like some of the Samsung/Google stuff. But only some. Personally I prefer to identify and freeze all the bloat I don't want - so that I have the option of bringing it back if I really want it. But that's just me. Probably everyone else here will want a pre-de-bloated version.
