1. To modify any system file, use a file explorer to copy the system file you want to the SDCARD (build.prop)

2. Make changes with the file explorer or text editor and save those changes

3. Reboot into recovery

4. Select Mount>System

5. Go to Advanced>File Explorer

6. Rename the /system/build.prop to build.prop.old, in case something gets messed up and you get thrown into a boot loop

7. Select the build.prop on the sdcard, then click copy, choose the system dir and hit the select button again and swipe to confirm

8. Navigate back to system dir, and select the new build.prop and choose CHMOD, change values to 0644.

9. Reboot with your new build.prop

The Verizon trick isn't working anymore, but changing off of zeroltetmo will give you what I believe are the international indicators, which I think look nicer.

I tried to modify my mixer_path file to fix the sound restriction, but that through me into a boot loop, I'll try to figure out why.

Just always make sure you make a backup of the file you are replacing in case of a boot loop, that way you don't have to flash a rom again or possibly need to factory reset.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
OK...instead of playing with this on a computer you figured a method to do it on the phone. Cool. Back with Kitkat this was easy to do. I use Parallels desktop on my Mac which gives me a virtual Windows 8 environment. I basically was trying to use a windows utility to open up the system.img file in the ROM. But utilities like ext4Unpack don't work on a virtual machine. I did learn though that if one has a regular Windows 8 setup, and they enable folder options to show hidden file names, you don't even need a utility anymore. You simply rename the .img file to an .iso file extension and then make sure in folder options to open/associate ISO files with explorer.exe. Then you can do what you mentioned, regarding mounting the iso image under Windows 8 and you can see everything in the .img file and edit and save etc.

I was only wondering if the PingPong Root failed because the ROM baseband changed to OE6, and if you ALSO tried to just delete radio.bin from the ROM zipped file so that installs with the OCG baseband. Not a big deal anyways assuming PingPong Root just around the door with OE6 firmware in the que.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
Trying to do this. I have a copy of a stock build.prop file all OCG I want to copy and replace over to system folder. BUT,,,,To read let's say a folder I store stuff, I have to be unmounted to see that folder using the TWRP file manager. But to get into the actual system folder lets say to rename the original build.prop file, I have to be mounted. I guess I can't figure out how you are copying a file that can only be seen unmounted to a folder that has system folder and has to be chosen to mount. What am I missing here. I was able to rename build.prop to old, but cannot get that copy of the build.prop file I want to use on my SD card (the phone) to that system folder :(

I switched to iPhone and was saving my contacts to the phone. Now that I am back I used smart switch. After flashing 5.1 I tried smart switch and it's not recognizing my phone. So now the contacts I can't get back.

Is there a fix.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
See if anything here will help. Do you still have your Iphone?

Did you backup your iPhone to itunes?

http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/how-to-transfer-your-contacts-between-iphone-and-android/

Edit: what about simply using TWRP to get back to 5.0.2 from a backup. I do this all the time. You DID make a backup?

If not, simply go to Download mode, and use smartswitch to restore back to stock from the menu option where you type in the model name, then serial number of your phone. Use the Home button from download mode to toggle your serial number if you don't know what I am talking about.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] shawndotting:
Gonna try again but I tried download mode and smart switch didn't recognize it. Trying again
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
For some reason since this rom is modified from what I been hearing smart-switch doesn't play along with it 2 well...... My suggestion will be restoring to 5.0.2 restoring from smartswitch, backing up all ur contacts with google, and in the future you never have to worry about this again, Always restore from google
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] shawndotting:
ok

gonna try restoring

---------- Post added at 05:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 PM ----------

i a not having any luck in restoring back to 5.0.2....funny though i really dont want to i just want my contacts....i am having good battery life with 5.1....up to 39 hours before i think of charging....real talk..i just want my contacts....plz
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
Why can't you restore ? do you know how to ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] shawndotting:
maybe i dont

smart switch not recognising my phone. in download mode it says device not supported,....... whats next...is anyone able to used smart switch with 5.1

If not tripping Knox is important to you, then don't flash this rom. It was rooted (or rather, an attempt was made to root it) prior to being dumped from the guy that gave it to us, and therefore it was "modified" according to SysScope. Even with the remnants of the root attempt removed, it is still considered "Custom" in the all-seeing eye of Knox, and it will trip your Knox counter.

Now, as for this random Chinese Kingroot business. Has anyone tried manually injecting the provided su and other files from Kingroot into the 5.1.1 system.img, or into a live device (from TWRP/ADB)?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
Not manually but tried thru the app and is not successful

---------- Post added at 07:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:03 PM ----------

Got taken of the pending list :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] chadgauth:
It is now officially supported through the app, and it works except it will put your device on a bootloop on the next startup.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
Doesn't seem like it works then lmfao
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] boosting1bar:
Did you try wiping cache and everything to see if that fixed the bootloop? I'm at work and need my phone tonight so I can't try it.

EDIT: Got home and tried it myself this morning, got stuck in same bootloop. Tried clearing cache, doing factory reset, etc and nothing would stop it looping. Back to 5.0.2 for now I suppose.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] appledroid:
I really like having root access, but after the haptic feedback workaround with DU Battery and the almost illogical battery life I can't stay on any 5.0.2 ROM more than a couple days. 5.1 is really what Lollipop should have been.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] PineSmokes:
PingPongRoot still no good

It seems like the status says it was done on the 14th for G925TUVU1COE6 , this isn't the case here it still causes the boot loop tested this less than an hour ago for anyone who's wondering so don't waste your time today, still need to wait a lil longer ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
I talked to the dev he didn't know chainfire su wasn't supported on this device 5.1.1 he says he will be taken it off the supported devices.... for ping root to work super su has to be supported first

heart rate monitor sensor not detected with debloated version?

Asked here but didn't get a response, so pardon me for double posting... http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60804135&postcount=25

Has anyone flashed the debloated version? If so, could you guys use the heart rate monitor via the S Health app? I used to be able to use it to measure my heart rate but it's not longer available, all it allows me to do now is to manually record my heart rate, which is not really helping...

Or do I have to use the full version?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] beats4x:
Is going back to 5.0.2 as easy as flashing the other available rom? Or do I need to Odin/Smart Switch back to original firmware/rom first? Sorry for what may be a n00b question, this is my first Samsung device. Have been HTC/Nexus up to this point (still got the m9, couldn't completely stray lol)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] boosting1bar:
In my opinion you should do an Odin back to the stock firmware so you get the baseband and all plus you're starting with a clean slate which helps rule out problems from residual files if they should happen to crop up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] beats4x:
Very reminiscent of HTC, good to know. Thank you sir

Seems like I saw there were some posting about a headphone issue. This ROM seems to work fine with my headset, however I get nothing with the aux cable in the car, any ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] scottricketts:
I had the same problem. There's a couple theories as to why but no definite answer. I went back to 5.0.2 - Running the T-Mo S6 Looper 1.2a with Edge kernel now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] moises1204:
battery life seems to be better on this rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
I've had "issues" with the Aux cable in my car with the S6e sinc eI got it - before root and before 5.1.1. The solution, I found, was to crank the volume on the device to MAX. Seems that the headphone jack output is just too quiet - probably because of some fear of stupid teenagers blowing out their eardrums (which is a real threat, I suppose). But after discovering that, I have no real qualms with it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] whittikins:
Still running this ROM (regular, not speedy) and loving it! Only issue I have is that the default blue notification LED overrides my app (Light Flow) many times, and the option to disable LED notifications (in stock settings) is not in this build. Any workaround for that? Here's a screenshot of the option that seems to be missing in this build.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
Indeed! That is missing! Funny, I didn't notice. I turned mine Off before leaving 5.0.2, and the setting has stayed the same (notification LED is still off in 5.1.1 for me). Must be just like the haptic feedback setting.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Burley1:
Personally I won't ever go back. This rom is for all intense and purposes, perfect. Yes the aux doesn't work but that is a small price to pay. It's much faster, better battery life.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Manh_IT:
You can give me a system.img full, not have any edits inside the System, pure and not Root?

Maybe I exacting: D

Thank you very much !

Sorry bad english
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
Sorry, not available at this time. The only system.img we have to go with is the one leaked by [MENTION=4287865]Sunderwear[/MENTION] (which we are grateful for), which had already been attempted to be rooted prior to it being dumped. Since this is (as far as we know) THE only case of the 5.1.1 build being leaked, there's currently no copy of this that is still "pure".
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] oreice:
Any possibilities of this running on the regular s6?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] lizaSB:
Not without an updated kernel for 5.1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gsxcorey:
Does this Rom do anything with the edge? Like the note 4 has a menu in the edge part of the screen?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ktetreault14:
It does the same as a normal edge rom would. Nothing gained, nothing lost
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] shawndotting:
i must have done something wrong as i lose edge screen functionality....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] maxlax1592:
Does anybody have a solution to this problem? A third-party app to turn it off? The LED is driving me crazy. I can't stand the fact that Samsung keeps taking away user options from us.

Also my app drawer is like a checker board with blank spaces in between the apps. Nothing will fix it, like hitting the A-Z button on the top right.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ShermCraig:
If I don't care about Knox (any more), does anyone know if flashing via FlashFire will work? If not, will Flashify work? Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Malnilion:
If you don't care about Knox, you can just use flashify to flash the recovery in the OP and then flash the ROM that way. No need for flashfire.

If you are wanting to keep Knox, I don't think it's possible to flash this ROM because it needs a kernel and bootloader update and there is no ota file.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Custodian:
Possibility of porting this to sprint edge 6?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] kswa1987:
Can't speak for OP or any devs but I highly highly doubt it. This leak has totally different firmware and, aside from that, based on what I've seen about the differences between the T and P variants, I really don't think it'll happen.

Good news is that the official 5.1.1 OTA should be out in June! After that I'm sure someone will make a custom ROM that supports P.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] domineus:
You know I keep going back to this rom.

This battery life is amazing. It's literally days without a charge. I'm stunned honestly
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] darkjedi:
I'm having the same issue. Cleared caches, APN is fine (it's the default one). Not sure what it could be. Sad :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] xionation:
Im getting unable to mount /system, is there anyway to fix this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] beats4x:
You would need root, unless you mean in recovery, which is a completely different story
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] raw2000j:
Haptic feedback gone?

Nvm figured it out
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
This is the best rom regarding battery life and and snappiness 2 bad we couldn't figure a way to root this rom

Well it looks to be true, which makes a lot of sense if they've been working on it for a while.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Texus915:
Well just because samsung is working on it doesn't mean we will see it anytime soon, tmo still has to test it. Looking at how long it took the gn4 to get ll I'm not confident is tmo's rollout timeframe.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] appledroid:
Is it possible to somehow apply this tweak for this ROM's kernel/build.prop?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] darkjedi:
No root, so no.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] whittikins:
Since we have recovery, couldn't we use TWRP and move build.prop to the computer, edit it, then push it back to the device and boot up (after chmod'ing it properly)?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] whittikins:
Just for anyone else curious, I did this on the leaked TMobile gs6 edge 5.1.1 build and it is working great.

This is how I did it, and there's probably an easier way. However, I wasn't having luck copying files to/from the phone in TWRP, so instead I used TWRP to copy the build.prop to and from the phone's /sdcard/download/ folder. Then I used Windows (with phone booted up) to copy build.prop to/from the phone's download folder. You might not have the copy trouble that I did, but I've indicated where I did each step (TWRP or Windows 8).

[TWRP] Make nandroid backup.

[TWRP] Copy build.prop from /system to /sdcard/download folder.

[WIN8] Copy build.prop from /sdcard/download to the computer.

[WIN8] Save a backup of the original before editing. (named mine build.prop.bak)

[WIN8] Make the changes in the OP (LINK TO OP) and save. (I used Notepad++)

[WIN8] Copy build.prop to phone's /sdcard/download folder.

[TWRP] Copy build.prop from /sdcard/download to /system

[TWRP] Chmod build.prop to 0644.

[TWRP] Reboot device!

EDIT: I've attached my edited build.prop (it's build.prop.txt so I could attach it, so rename to build.prop). I added/edited the suggested lines and removed the duplicates as the OP instructed. This is V2 of this leaked 5.1.1 rom (not the "speedy" version), if that matters.

After copying it to /system, you need to CHMOD it to 0644 before you reboot your phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] appledroid:
This worked!! Thank you Working perfectly on the speedy/debloated v2!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] dominante58:
I'm really interested in doing this- but am not as knowledgeable as others on the exact commands to get this done, Could you please elaborate?

I am assuming you are using the terminal command in TWRP to copy the build.prop to /system and then changing permissions to 0644, but i do not know the exact commands that are needed to get this done- could you help a brother out!?

Thanks in advance...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] lurk3r2013:
Is this a memory leak fix?

Don't we have to be rooted to do this?

5.1.1 doesn't have root?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Lancerz:
I think this should be put in the first post. If you install this rom and then try to Odin back to stock you will get a bootloop until you do the above step.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] anonymousss:
I tried searching the but couldnt find anything mentioning the 925f model will yhis work on this model please anyone confirm..

And if not .. would be possible to actually try to port it somehow on this international model?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] darkjedi:
It only works for the 925T.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Texus915:
Guess I was wrong about 5.1.1 tmo getting it already
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ktetreault14:
Can't believe tmo is getting it before intl. Is that heard of?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] dominante58:
firmware found on Sammobile site (ODIN)

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/confirm/48252/G925TUVU2COF6_G925TTMB2COF6_TMB/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] beats4x:
Just so no one makes the same mistake as me, the twrp in this thread does not work on the official 5.1.1.

I flashed with Odin, got stuck in a bootloop, tried flashing the firmware from sammobile, at didn't work. Ended up using smart switch to restore.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
That would make sense. TWRP hasn't been updated for the new bootloader included in the 5.1.1 update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] beats4x:
Yeah, this is my first Samsung device, not like that on Nexus and HTC devices until there is a major version bump.

[MENTION=1124755]Aou[/MENTION]
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
Warning:

If you want to revert back to OCG Stock (using Odin), you will need to wipe the Dalvik, Cache AND Data partitions. After wiping these partitions, the device will boot just fine on the old OCG stock image.

At least, this is my experience - YMMV. Regardless, it is a good idea to make a full backup, using TWRP (or whatever you want to use), before flashing the OE6 firmware.

Edit: And I'm still working on trying to restore my Data backup from before the upgrade...

Edit2: Gave up for the time being, I'm going back to 5.1.1 until I can experiment more later.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Master Ramy:
OP, would you mind adding recovery instructions on getting back to a good phone in case of full brick. As another member posted before, an ODIN-to-Stock should do it, just to give guiding links and details on recovery as needed?

Also, any news on battery life, cellular standby bug, and ram management?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Trev420:
I'm still curious to know if the auto brightness bug still exists. Does the brightness still adjust when auto brightness is off?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
Wasn't aware of the bug prior to 5.1.1, but I "tested" this just now. I set it manually to half-brightness, and took another phone and used its flashlight to light up the front sensors. 5-seconds on, 5-seconds off, and the screen brightness did not appear to change at all.

Is there a better test I could perform? Something more quantifiable?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Master Ramy:
Thats called adaptive display, its a feature, try setting it to basic or cinema mode with powersaver off and auto brightness off and it should stay the same.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
Never noticed the problems before, on 5.0.2, but so far, seems no change. I've been really screwing around with it today, flashing all kinds of crap (trying to root, and trying to revert back to 5.0.2 while keeping my data...). So I probably won't know about battery until later.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Master Ramy:
Most noticable one right now would be keeping wifi, wifi calling, HD voice, location, wifi scaning, all that stuff ON, even if not connected to a wifi network, then using device without charging for a bit (even 20 mins will do it) and checking under battery usage. Is Cellular STandby still showing up?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ktetreault14:

Heres a video of me demonstrating it along side of my girlfriends s6 without the same issue.

https://youtu.be/Bx5MF2JbN0c

I know what that feature is. Had it on my note 4. It's not the same thing

Edit: forgot to add the link to the video lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ktetreault14:
Why the hell
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bamfsig45:
oooh nooo....cant disable. LOL
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Master Ramy:
Never could disable that junk unfortunately, its SYstem protected, part of the stupid Smart Manager. I may attempt to modify the OTA ZIP to make it delete the Smart manager apks...or maybe someone more experienced would like to do it for all of us? :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ktetreault14:
Imma delete stuff from TWRP
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
Hate to disappoint, but I was able to reproduce the screen brightness, exactly as demonstrated in the video, with Adaptive Display set to either Auto or Basic. Both yield the screen dimming very slightly, when auto brightness is disabled.

Doesn't bug me, though.

As for Cell Standby, it is indeed the top thing on the battery drain list. VoLTE and WiFi calling are off, and I'm currently connected to WiFi.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] eousphoros:
Keep in mind this has the deep sleep bug and will cause some battery drain. Until we get kernel source you will need to fix it by hand.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ktetreault14:
Can we run the script to help?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] eousphoros:
That requires supersu. The only way at is to modify the boot image which will break private mode.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ktetreault14:
That's fine
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Trev420:
For me, its knowing my girlfriends phone is brighter than mine. And the only way to get it as bright is to shine a light in it. Every day use, I use auto all day. But sometimes I want to crank it up and show off this awesome screen.

Why in the world would the phone only get as bright with a light shining with auto brightness off? You can't blame it on the high contrast mode when the S6 next to it doesn't react the same. Its not acting as intended, its a bug.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] raw2000j:
Is the cell standby fixed on the running programs when wifi on.I hate that
