I can't get into Recovery/Download. I can't even power down the phone. The only function that works is Volume Down + Home + Power = reboot into the same "Recovery is not seandoid enforcing"

Anyway phone is now permanently on and it will probably last 3-4 hours till it dies. I don't think the charger does anything as the light doesn't come on. Yeah if anybody has solution I'm here and reading. I would like to flash something via Odin if I can. 920F via O2 user here.

I can't ****ing believe this. I've been on the computer from 12pm gathering files and reading chasing tutorials just to **** this up. 3 hours for nothing when somebody could have done a better tutorial.

Press and Hold the Home Button, Power Button and Volume Down Buttons at the Same Time

Continue Holding These Buttons Until You See a Special Download Mode Menu

Once You See that Download Mode Menu, Immediately Let Go of Those Buttons

Does it work??

I usually wait about 30 minutes with it on the charger to boot. if it hasn't booted within 30 minutes is usually when I have to start over.

---------- Post added at 10:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 AM ----------

hold down all 4 buttons.. vol up, vol down, home and power. as SOON as you see the screen power off let go of ONLY the vol up button. This always gets back into download mode for me, no matter how bad I soft brick the phone.

I too was frustrated as HELL until I figured this out. Now it's second nature.

Hope this helps!

cho mình hỏi: mã máy mình là G920FXXU2B0GG, mình up rom của bạn có được không? mình người việt nam nên nói tiếng anh không được rành cho lắm bạn thông cảm!
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] DIYmaster:
Yes people thank you this worked. Home + Power + Down seems to do the trick. This is like playing an old Mortal Kombat game where only certain people know how to do finishers.

Right so what next? Find original Galaxy S6 Rom and then try different method to root instead of the CF Auto Root as mentioned in this tutorial?

Couple of questions about the instructions on here:

a) do I need to G920F-XXU1AOE4-BOOTLOADER.tar 5.1.1 via Odin?

b) do I need to G920F-XXU2BOGH-MODEM.tar via Odin?

c) Is twrp-2.8.7.1-zeroflte.img really necessary? Even in the future after custom ROM?

Ok and final question might as well....where is a 5.1.1 original ROM?
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] trongnhanbl:
ask yourself : its machine code is G920FXXU2B0GG , your rom its possible? Vietnam alone people should speak English is not obvious to you sympathize much !
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] jemeljsh:
I agree in part, since smoothness wise nothing has come close to gawin's unikernel which is still the smoothest kernel out there. Even the kernels which have taken parts from gawin are not that smooth all around. Unikernel ( the version that comes with edgars latest BOGG based rom) is fast and smooth as butter and still with all that speed it gives you 4-5 sot which is more than enough for device with such cpu and screen :good: dont get me wrong, arter97 kernel is up there with the best ones, but its not that smooth in material design apps.

Trust me when I say that I am probably the most picky user when it comes to judge on smooth operation and when I say its smooth, its ubersmooth since my lag detector is off the charts :D

I support all dopeass developers (both gavin and arter's author), but gavin with his unikernel is in a league of its own. He's currently the undisputed champ in all categories :laugh:

DIY, what is it exactly that you'd like to do? I'll tell you the steps you need to take. Also need to know what carrier you bought the phone from and what carrier you plan to use.

There are some sticky unforeseen issues that can arrise playing around with the international versions of ROM's for the 920 models.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] st0nez0r:
Can you please help clarify something for me please. I'm not new to flashing/restoring/odin etc.. But I just want to make sure i'm understanding everything so I don't brick my device.

I just picked up an unlocked G920i - I've read the various threads about upgrading the bootloader, modem etc to 5.1.1, i've read over everyone's instructions a few times. My question is really in regards to CF-Auto root. I looked up my model, and noticed on the line for the model it says 5.0.2 - right, so i'll flash it and have root.

I'll flash that via odin and it will root and install a version of twrp?

Then, i'll use odin and upgrade the bootloader and modem?

then i'll upgrade to the latest version of twrp via odin?

then i'll flash the rom which will have root already - right?

I just want to make sure i've got my ducks in a row and would appreciate the little extra hand holding :)

My new phone should come in the mail soon and i get to return the AT&T phone today - so excited lol ;)

[MENTION=4401993]st0nez0r[/MENTION] don't use CF Auto Root it's not compatible.

[MENTION=546837]joesee[/MENTION] Sure I would like some help. I'm using O2 920F and Im stuck on some awful site downloading 1.8GB stock Galaxy S6 ROM for UK O2 at 25kb/s If you can tell me where I can download a 5.1.1 O2 UK ROM so I can get back into my phone and retry this XtreStoLite ROM, that would be awesome.

Of course now we need to know a different solution to Root via ODIN that is not CF Auto Root. Also why am I rooting again? Isn't the whole ODIN thing suppose to bypass this rooting issue and just install the custom ROM?

But yeah right now Im stuck in the download menu and I need to flash something to my phone to make it functional again
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] joesee:
No one can answer those questions you asked because they don't know what you are running right now.

Are you on 5.0.2 or have you updated to 5.1.1? If you have 5.1.1 then no, you don't need any of those files, just need recovery (TWRP 2.8.7.1 only!!). TWRP is the type of recovery that lets you flash any ROM to the phone. So to answer your third question, if you want to flash this rom, any updates or any other rom that's not stock in the future, then YES, you will need to have TWRP.

Before you attempt to flash TWRP on your phone, make sure you've already downloaded the latest version of this ROM or any other and put it in a folder in your phone. I use the download folder. If you don't do this, when you attempt to boot it will just get stuck in a boot loop because it has nothing to boot into. If you were too quick and already tried and just see the SAMSUNG S6 screen keep flashing at you, boot back into TWRP by holding down vol up, home and power. You will need a flash drive and an OTG cable, but you can mount an external USB and load the ROM up that way.

Flash TWRP to the device via odin 3.10 or higher. Use the AP button. The trick to this one is stupid, but you must do it or it will never flash. When you hit start on odin, you MUST press and hold the home button, power and volume up until you see the red "recovery is not seandroid enforcing". If you don't do this, then it will never flash because when the phone boots, it apparently checks to see if the recovery partition has been modified and if it has, it returns back to stock. Forcing it directly into recovery for the first time it reboots is how you bypass that. There is a website that shows you this with photos and everything, but it's not an XDA site and I'm not allowed to post that link here.
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] defybest:
Where is 5.1.1 orginal ROM? Are you newbie? Check out sammobile for your F variant!

CF Auto root? Why don't you Odin unibase kernel to gain auto root.

Mortal Kombat is cool game.

Enjoying Exynos 7420
[Galaxy S6 Android Development] joesee:
Yeah, the CF Auto Root isn't compatible with 5.1.1. If you're going from stock to this rom, no root needed. Just the TWRP and in the steps shown in my previous message.

Basically the steps are:

1. Revert to 100% stock (in this case you're working on that)

2. Download and copy this rom to your download folder in your phone

3. Flash TWRP 2.8.7.1 (or higher) using the steps shown above

4. Install this rom using TWRP

5. Takes forever for the first boot. You'll see the Samsung logo on the screen for about 15 minutes so don't panic.

As far as stock rom's go, I only know of one reliable site for that (sammobile). The problem is like you said.. takes FOREVER. So In your case, I'd google for G920FXXU1AOCV (your latest firmware) or just go to: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/general/stock-firmware-official-stock-firmware-t3086387. techfanatic9 has done an AWESOME job putting all the stock rom links there for us!

[Galaxy S6 Android Development] Santi3598:
So I've had this ROM for a while, pretty good indeed.

Today I tried to toggle f2fs for /system and my device got stuck in a bootloop. Everytime I wanted to backup my device would get stuck in the bootloop. So I had no option buy to flash the stock firmware with Odin. Now that my device is back, I'd like to install the ROM again, and apply my backup. But I don't know where to start from. Now I have no root, and I tried to boot into the default recovery and nothing happens, I can only boot into the download mode.

I have a SM-920I and I'm obviously on 51.1.

Please tell me someone can help.

I have a SM-G920i, i've very carefully read everything possible for upgrading and flashing this rom.

I flashed the modem/bootloader via oden 3.10.6 as exactly specified.

It reboots, and is stuck on the galaxy s6 screen, and in red letters says "KERNEL REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE 2, BINARY 1"

I can get to download mode, and that's it. I've tried the fix here: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/general/how-to-fix-rev-check-fail-device-2-t3146522/page2

While attempting to flash the firmware, i get the following failure in ODIN

Apparently i'm not the only one to have encountered this issue, but it appears like i'm one of the few that can fix it in regards to that thread.

Please, please, please someone help! ;)

Battery life is good but mainly depends on the kernel you go with. I use unikernel v5 currently cause it's buttery smooth and I get about 4-4.5 hours of sot. Others get higher sot with simple kernel, unibase kernel, vindicator kernel and now arter97 kernel has been getting some buzz about sot.

You either need to update your bootloader.
