Wow man, one site wants 5 bucks a week for hosting, and the others literally take 12-15 hours to download. This is actually amazing how frustrating this is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] :
You could always get it from Samsung Smartswitch if you haven't tried already. Download it here...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] PhantomBrave:
You can pull a tar file from smartswitch??? I downloaded the one that took 15 hours and just ran it through odin, it passed, and then went to a blue screen saying "erasing" and then back to the black samsung galaxy s6 screen again. It didn't work after all of that. What could be wrong...? I'm so disappointed. I'm going to have to bring it back and get another used one, and it's going to take days to come in the mail. This is very upsetting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] ericmtnbkr:
Misterxtc,

Thank you for posting all this! I have one question about step 2 in the firmware flashing section. My question is, firmware can also be flashed in Flashfire instead of Odin, correct?

Thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] :
My only suggestion would be to do a factory reset after using Odin. For future reference yes you can save the firmware from smartswitch. Follow these instructions that are for Kies. The tricky part is remembering to unplug your phone just before it starts updating and having copied the temp.zip.

I don't recommend using Flashfire for the full firmware file. I don't think it will work properly. I would stick with Odin or SmartSwitch for that. If it was a partial firmware file like the modem or whatever that will work but not the full one. I might be wrong but I'm almost positive I tried that and it failed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] PhantomBrave:
Did the factory reset, still doesn't go past initial screen. Brought it to a samsung rep and they flashed it, same result. Have to send in to samsung and be without a phone for 2 weeks. Verizon is going to give me a measly 20 dollar credit, which makes me dislike them even more. Thinking of switching back to T-Mobile as soon as this phone is paid off. Verizon's service is great, but their customer service and price is outrageous.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] ehasley:
Just for clarification... I am trying to come from rooted OE2 and want to jump directly to OF1... if I Odin the full .tar file will that also contain any updated modems or basebands?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
a full of1 tar should, yes. you can always open it in 7zip to see what files it comtains.

---------- Post added at 02:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:10 PM ----------

to add, of1 tar will lock it and you will lose root if using the full tar
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] ehasley:
Thanks for the response.

I'm going to use smart switch to flash the latest firmware. Based on this "Latest version: PDA: OG9 / CSC: OG9 / PHONE: OG9 (VZW)"

I'm assuming it looks like it will update everything including the modem to the current versions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
yes it should.. would just odin it myself but smart switch is essentially the same thing
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] xdadevnube:
This thread is exactly what I was looking for.

I wanted to clarify a couple things.

First, if one were to Odin the OE2 full tar, and then Odin the OC3 full tar, would the result be the OC3 bootloader?

Second, does this method of procedure look good for upgrading from rooted OC3 to a rooted and ROM'ed OE2?

1. Use Flashfire to wipe (if so, what to wipe?)

2. Use Flashfire to flash OE2 rooted ROM

3. Odin OE2 firmware only

4. Perform factory reset from stock recovery

Maybe there would be less problems if one were to install the full OE2 tar, root, then ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
follow the install instructions in the rom thread for the rom you are going to flash..

if on oe2 already, just root, install busybox and ff, use default wipe in ff and then flash rom.zip

if you go back to oc3 then youd need to root, install busybox and ff, wipe default, install rom.zip, reboot to download mode and odin oe2 firmware only tar
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] dopediculous:
Hello! Great thread. I have a quick question. I'm on stock, but rooted OE2. I don't care if I lose root, so I wanna get the latest OTA. Is OF1 the latest release and if so, can I flash via Odin from OE2 and KEEP my apps and their data?

Anything special I should do before Odin, like unrooting via SU? I really wish smart switch would use by OTG FM micro USB to male USB, but it won't, so if it comes down to it, I'll wipe all, but wanna avoid if possible. Thanks for any info! ?

I wasnt trying to be rude but this is a Verizon thread.. so you have a completely different variant in another country that has nothing to do with stock vzw odin tars lol.

id look around in the international threads.. we have gapps on our devices and are seriously limited by verizon so theres really no way we can help you except by searching for you which you can pretty much do yourself

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] CoOl_BeSoIL50o0:
Need assistance for Adding a New APN in G920V.

Hi, I am using the G920V in India with a local CDMA Carrier. I have been able to use the Voice and SMS services of the local carrier working. But when I try to add the APN settings of the local carrier by creating a new APN, it does not allow me to add new APN. here's how I do it,

Settings>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names>ADD

But the ADD option is grayed out. See the attached screenshots.

How do I add new APN without rooting the device as I need to use the Samsung Knox Services on this device.

Also, If a ever flash an updated stock ROM, will I loose my CDMA Unlocking (for use on carriers other than Verizon).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
not sure about either but one thing I do know is VZW locks their devices down so not sure if changing the APN is possible without root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] CoOl_BeSoIL50o0:
When flashing via ODIN, how does the handset identifies if the ROM is Non-tampered Stock ROM. What would happen if I modify the APN Settings code in the Stock Firmware tar.md5 file and do not add root privileges in it. Will it be recognized as STOCK OFFICIAL ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
Nope.. not possible that way.. odin will check the file and it will fail.. you cannot make that type of modification and have it still flash due to the locked BL
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] CoOl_BeSoIL50o0:
Is it possible to do it on a Unlocked Bootloader?? How can we unlock the bootloader without loosing the Knox Integrity.

I need to unroot and return to stock in order to do a manufacturers warranty on my S6 because the home button no longer functions.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] :
Try using the adb command while connected to your PC. If you don't have adb installed do this first and then open a command prompt and enter this... adb reboot bootloader
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] isruco:
Is it possible to remove bloatware without root on the sm-g920v and the sm-N910v? Currently I am running a rooted Rom "CleanROM 1.5 - OE2" on my sm-g920v (S6) but would like to upgrade to 5.1.1. However I would hate to have all that bloatware like I currently have on the N910v (Note4). And is there really nay difference between the 5.0.2 and the 5.1.1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
you cant remove system apps without root but you could disable some of them..

i personally wouldnt think about updating to 5.1.. only time id think about it is probably when 6 is available
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] :
You can disable most of the bloat in the application menu or long pressing the app in the app drawer. Or you can use package disabler pro that doesn't require a PC connection or the debloat tool that is free but requires a PC connection. With these two you can disable/hide any app on the phone instead of some.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] lugosi1313:
Ooops....

I just used this to put OK7 onto my phone successfully... but I made a mistake and I hope someone can help.

I was running 5.0 with it rooted, and I had used Titanium Backup to freeze android updates so that it would stop pestering me about the newer versions of Android which are not able to be rooted on the S6.

I decided today to update to Marshmallow and lose root, so I used Odin to put OK7 onto my phone, and then I was going to update to marshmallow (I mistakenly thought that doing this would reset EVERYTHING) ... but now updating Android on my phone is still frozen, so when I click to check for system updates my Settings app crashes. I can't update to 6.0.1 manually now.

So... how can I make it so that I can take updates again? Do I just have to wait for a new tar to put Marshmallow on through Odin?? If I do the factory reset option through Settings.... will that fix it, or will I just lose my apps and data, but still have the update function frozen?

My plan was to lose all of my data and settings and be on 6.0.1 unrooted with my phone running like new - but that isn't what happened.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] tsors:
No, Smart Switch doesn't have the update yet :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] IMMORTALKING69:
Tried. Smartswitch is not showing the MM update.....i know your more experienced then others, i had another post giving me the MM bin file and saying i can just transfer to internal storage and update using stock recovery. Said to name it update.zip. See any problems with this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
nope so long as it is the update file downloaded to someones phone it should work.. if its not the stock recovery will not let you use it and will fail..

so essentially someone dled the update file on their device and managed to save it so it could be renamed and flashed through stock recovery..

Mine gave me issues but this is what I did:

1) Download full OK7 tar and flash in ODIN

2) After first boot go into stock recovery wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache

3) Boot back into phone and go to system updates, check latest, download now then install it.

4) Win!

keep in mind you must backup anything you need to before the wipe..

not really same boat since i didnt really have issues except the tars i used were no wipe tars so they left remnants of root so i had to factory reset after ok7 tar for it to update but once it updated it gave 0 problems first try

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] :
Sorry for the late reply, I don't follow the S6 much anymore. Have you tried a factory reset after Odin? See the bold pink text in the OP for more info. If you did do that you might have a bad battery.

Is the "Stock OE2 Tar" already rooted? I am trying to get on OE2 and maintain root so then I can flash CleanRom Lite and I cannot seem to do it. Keep trying to do it in FlashFire and it completes and reboots and yet I'm still on OC3....that and my sim card magically doesn't work now! Can somebody help? :mad::mad::mad::mad:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] mattkilla420:
So I know there's not much support for this device anymore but I'm stuck in the water with my Galaxy S6 wondering if anybody can help here's my situation:

I have a SM-G920V on firmware OE2 as of yesterday. I have been rooted running the revolution 1.0 ROM for about year-and-a-half now with no problems. Yesterday I was doing some things in titanium backup and I tried to move a system app over to a user app. Well things got hairy and it ended up soft breaking my phone. I was stuck in a boot loop at the main splash screen with no way around it. I tried everything at that point that I know of. I put it into recovery mode, tried to boot in safe mode, wiped cache via recovery, did a factory reset via recovery. Still just a boot loop.

So then I came back across this thread because I have had to Odin to stock files once before. I have tried OE2 first and then OC3 with the same outcome. The FW flashes but when I boot up the phone and start the setup wizard I get stuck at the first step of it trying to activate the phone . System even becomes a bit glitchy and starts not responding at this point and will reboot randomly . This happens on both firmwares that I tried from this thread . So maybe I need some clarification but what is the difference between the two files for each firmware on the OP? 1 file has "stock"in the name and is about 2 gigabytes in size(this is the file I used in Odin) and the other file has "retail"in the name and comes in at about 100MB . Which one of these am I supposed to be flashing or is it both? Instructions are pretty straightforward but it never really says which one of these files you're supposed to be using.

I actually took the phone in to Verizon last night and it's sad because the customer service rep only tried about 5% of the things I've tried before saying that the phone was toast. All he did was go to recovery mode and tried to factory data reset which I had told him I tried many times and did not work. Fortunately or unfortunately enough my work replace the phone with a brand new Galaxy S7 which I am using now. I still have the S6 though and I'm just determined not to give up yet because I don't think this phone is "toast" . If anyone can shed some light or has had the same problem and knows a fix I would love to know. I would absolutely love to be able to get this thing fixed and be able to give it to my daughter for Christmas.

Edit-it maybe worth noting that while I'm in download mode or Odin mode on the phone it does say the reactivation lock is on. I know I've read this is cause some problems for people later on in the process so I thought I would mention it

I had it fail once for me but it worked when I tried a different Odin version. That's why I have both listed in the OP. As an alternative people can try to update the firmware with SmartSwitch for the PC if all else fails. These are official files so no one needs to worry about that.
