That's strange. The link I originally gave in post #272 was proper, and still works. Note the capitalization of some of the letters in the URL: https://mega.co.nz/#!BBFWjbxR!4jlS1fDDgwg2Ps0Gmv8Q5q9vVXlf98vca5w0QlTyy6k

But then [MENTION=2319230]Docmjldds[/MENTION] quoted that post in his post #287, and the capitalization was lost. The link doesn't work as: https://mega.co.nz/#!bbfwjbxr!4jls1fddgwg2ps0gmv8q5q9vvxlf98vca5w0qltyy6k

My best guess is that [MENTION=2346758]eousphoros[/MENTION] snagged the URL from post #287. Or something went terribly wrong with the copy/paste.

In any event, [MENTION=2346758]eousphoros[/MENTION], can you please update the OP with the working URL? Thanks! ^_^
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] mettleh3d:
Thanks aou. With spider pigs hint about flashify I was able to flash the correct twrp img.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] boosting1bar:
Must be something in your specific configuration, works on both regular and debloated for me. Did you do a complete wipe/format before flashing? Made sure APN setting is correct?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
Full version 5.1.1 here and NO PROBLEMS with mms on my TMobile variant and Tmobile service. I use stock messaging, BTW.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
I figured we would have root by now..... if chainfire owned a tmobile gs6 edge im sure root would have been available now lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] mettleh3d:
Does he have a regular 6?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Spider_Pig27:
Theres no root because this is a leak not an official release. Until then there will be no root.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] palosjr:
Just an FYI, s6 roms are flashable on the edge, provided you flash the correct kernel after.

Hey guys question,

I know rooting will disable us from using Samsung Pay in the future ( :crying: ) but if I skip the root step and just flash TWRP and then the ROM, will that allow me to return to stock in the future and be able to use Samsung Pay? The root step shouldn't better necessary right? Atleast it isn't on Nexus devices, idk here though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
since Samsung pay has NOT been released yet, and no one has tested it with or without root, its pure internet conjecture at this point what will or will not happen with it if you are rooted
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] DrexelDragon:
Yeah I realize that.. I was only asking if I can safely flash this ROM without rooting first, just flashing TWRP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
can't answer that; I doubt it, but the only way to try would be via Odin, since i never saw anyone successfully flash roms without a custom recovery..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
Damn I really want to flash this but I need root for a couple programs I use daily blahhhhh
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] aaronc_98:
Besides not having root- what exactly are the differences between 5.1.1 and 5.02?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] eousphoros:
Night clock is fixed. Support for multiple users. Flash always on fixed. And these are just the things I've noticed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] johanbiff:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] johanbiff:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ktetreault14:
Beautiful thing to get of work to
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
Usually, I use the Odin method, flashing the CF-Auto-Root-zerolte-zeroltexx-smg925f one. But doing so seems to be causing a bootloop. But not the bootloop I'm used to; it gets all the way to the T-Mobile screen, hangs for a few, and then reboots.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
how about flashing stock recovery ? after
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
Tried wiping dalvik/cache, no go. Tried flashing the stock recovery, same results. Only thing I haven't tried yet is wiping data.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] scottricketts:
The only way I got autoroot to work was to use the g920t autoroot file, from there I did the dd method of putting twrp on. Did a backup, plus backed up the crucial EFS bits, and now installing via sideload. Fingers and toes crossed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
We probably have to wait for 5.1.1 root then..... Waiting to see if anybody could get root working and I'll flash also
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Spider_Pig27:
Ah screw it ill give this a try i am tempted for the damn fixes
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] stu5797:
Thanks so much for this! Dont we have to flash something in odin to get the baseband up to 5.1.1?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] scottricketts:
And all is right with the world. I swear, it's more responsive than 5.0.2 We'll see how memory leak looks.

After a full days use let us know how battery life is
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ktetreault14:
Dang the drive to wifi is killing me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
Seems so. Are there any other root methods for other 5.1.1 devices?

Also, I tried rooting and then wiping data, no luck. Also tried just flashing the SuperSU package. No luck.

Noteworthy that during the T-Mobile screen, the device gives some sort of morse-code via vibrations. Probably means something to someone. Three short, one long. Repeat.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bamfsig45:
The only root app I Dont want to live without would be Viper4Android. ugh...what to do what to do.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] nappent:
I hear you....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] LNJ:
Root is not permanent. You can always unroot!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] DrexelDragon:
I don't think anyone is understanding what I'm asking. Yes obviously I can unroot, but once the Knox counter is tripped, it can't be reset and game over for Samsung Pay which I am looking forward to.

I'm asking if I can just flash custom recovery through ODIN, then flash the ROM and not flash root therefore not tripping the Knox counter so I can use Samsung Pay in the future?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] eousphoros:
Flashing a custom recovery will trip knox
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] mettleh3d:
Didn't he say the Internet theories are pure conjecture?

Imo, have Samsung properties ever really taken hold? (chat on, watch on, milk, s voice) why worry this time? Google wallet
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] DrexelDragon:
Have you been paying attention?? Samsung Pay incorporates Looppay, it's going to be miles ahead of every other mobile payment system.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] juniorr7710:
At a lost here... Currently I'm rooted, with stock recovery. Been reading your post but at some point just got lost.

What the best way to do this, do I flash back to stock? of just dload TWRP first ?? Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
best way to do what?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] juniorr7710:
What to flash first is what I meant... as I see you have to be on TWRP. Pretty much the steps. Thanks :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Atrix_Lover:
NOOB Question, can i go back to 5.0.2?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
FWIW, the Nexus 9 is now officially getting 5.1.... but according to Chainfire's signature, he only has the Nexus 6. Poo.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] tenxo:
And...the expected ETA is late summer at best. Which could mean early fall. Even then, you think everything will just roll out perfect with it. So your betting on a company that sells us with good marketing (lies to us basically) to get Samsung Pay right the very first time! I bet it won't be ready for prime time until the note 5 arrival, hence why I say they lied to us. True the S6 supports it, but they used it as a big selling point (see how worried you are about it, and have never used it) and it may not come till this phone is nearly ready to be rehashed- (S7).

On topic: that's why threads like this is important, as the expected biggest selling mobile device for Samsung launched with many issues that we need updates to fix...but have we heard from Samsung?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] mettleh3d:
I'm not having much fun with 5.1.1 esp without root. The redraws and app closures are still alive and abundant - might as well return to 5.0.2 w some control.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] shawndotting:
Likewise. Am I the only when texting back and forth the keys get glitchy and slows or stop whilst you hitting other keys.

Is there a fix.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] appledroid:
I miss haptic feedback for the capacitive buttons :( any fix in the works?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
Sheesh. Come on guys and gals. You want everything to pretty much work. Use 5.0.2

My one and only complaint to date with the Edge....the darn display sensor bug that makes the unit act as if auto display settings was in use, even when unchecked. I can absolutely prove no matter what Firmware I have installed, if you take a flashlight and aim it at the top left where the display sensor is, the screen while indoors will brighten. Then wait a few seconds and the screen will dim slightly. Yes, If you go out in bright sunlight, the display goes to max brightness. But I want my max bright screen to be on indoors. Seems this issue has fallen by the wayside since we first gotten our hands on the S6 Edge.

Comments welcome re- screen display. But it's been repeated ad nauseum this is a leaked ROM. No root. Loss of Capacitive haptic feedback. Live with the known issues, or please, simply use TWRP and flash your backup of 5.0.2

Uh...whats that, you didn't make a backup. Then Odin or Smartswitch back to 5.0.2

Sorry for my rant........

EDIT: Hmmmm installed the KT kernel on 5.0.2 and the display bug is no longer seen. Weird, but I will be happy to now have a brighter screen :)

PS...sorry for thread drift again, I know this has zero to do with 5.1.1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] meraz9000:
There's a new build for 5.1.1 for the edge..from what I know Sammy /tmo plans to release sometime in June / early July

I'm having no issues with this rom, aside from messages FC if I change the background, my capacitive feedback works fine and my phone is much faster then with stock and battery is much better
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bamfsig45:
Have you rebooted and still have feedback on capacitive buttons? ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
Did you get ur OTA update yet :P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] AnthonyAldrete:
Is it normal for me to loose root after I install it ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] mikeyinid:
No. Must've been a bad flash. You should do a clean install, wiping everything 6x's. Sometimes it takes 4 or 5 flashes to get root.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
Wait what ? there is no root for 5.1.1 unless you figure out how to root it urself there won't be root
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] id10terrordfw:
I do. I've rebooted tons of times. Still have haptic feedback on both recent apps and back button. I did do a clean install, though. A dirty flash at first and I didn't have haptic.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] nsdapm27:
Yes I just rebooted to double check and still working
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] classified_noob:
Gotta get this. Props to having the first rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] appledroid:
Debloated or full versions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
Totally lost on this aspect. You are now the only person I know that says this leaked 5.1.1 ROM is rootable. I thought Chainfire was NOT going to go anywhere near this since it was a leaked version, unless you or someone knows something the rest of us do not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] beats4x:
If I'm not mistaken, that was a huge dump of sarcasm from [MENTION=2918779]mikeyinid[/MENTION]
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] mikeyinid:
I was joking, I told him that via pm. By the time this build gets root nobody will be using it cus the official 5.1.1 will be out. That or CM...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bamfsig45:
CM yes!! but until that time I'm liking the Looper ROM in the tmo S6 Dev forum.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] nsdapm27:
Are you using an s6 rom on the edge? If so, do you have to flash a different kernel to get it to work?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bamfsig45:
Yes, I flashed the KT kernel. Working great.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
I guess I was really tired when I first read that to not really see you were joking. While I have your ears...do you know anything about the display sensor bug regarding Auto display settings seems to be over-riding manually setting the max screen brightness. I incorrectly posted a page or so back that I thought the KT Kernel seemed to fix or appeared to address the issue. I was wrong on that. Probably this is the only issue that bothers me more than anything else. It was reported on a fair amount when we first got our hands on the Edge, but I don't see much discussion anymore.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] mikeyinid:
I haven't really noticed the issue you're talking about so I can't answer. Sorry bud
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
Humour me. In a normal lit not too bright room, open up settings, display and push your slider to the max but do NOT check auto. Now, you would assume your screen should be at max brightness level. Now take a flashlight and aim it at the light sensor top left of the phone. With the flashlight on, and aimed top left after a couple of seconds, tell me if you don't all of a sudden see your screen get brighter. Now turn the flash light off and watch your screen. In approx 3 -5 seconds tell me if your screen doesn't get a little dimmer. IOW, it acts as if the auto settings are on. So if you go out into a bright sunlit day, the screen will get brighter to adapt to the brighter environment. What I'm saying is this is a bug with the Edge model vs the straight S6. The screen should be manually adjusted to max brightness with that slider all the way to the right and auto UNCHECKED. Supposedly the majority of S6 Edges have this issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] iGordy101:
I hade the screen essues like dimming extremely low but now im running a s6 rom on my edge and the screen is now mutch brighter and gets even brighter outside! So on edge the bugg is on the software and not hardware, hope they fix it!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
Thanks for confirming. Surprised this is not bugging others. But if you didn't know it was an issue, I can see how it could not be a bother ;)

Which ROM are you using specifically. Just want to see if it shows as much as you are feeling on your end. Also if you are using a different custom kernel too.

TIA......

EDIT: OMG.......installing XtreStoLite_G920T_PureEdition_v.1.0c_UVU1AOCG_ROM

The screen brightness is totally awesome now. Cannot believe the difference. I do miss the Edge capabilities. Used the Simple kernel. So far I notice cannot change wallpaper, but a pure black screen wallpaper is what have now and that's what I normally use anyways. Installing all my apps so I haven't had a chance to do much else, but so happy now to see a MUCH brighter screen. Guess will wait for updates to the Edge ROMs to see if they fix this issue down the road.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] geiti94:
its deodex or odex version?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] boosting1bar:
Isn't that the "sunlight" mode, even at full screen brightness it kicks itself up slightly higher in bright light (ie sunlight). The last 3 Samsung phones I've had have all done that. Not sure why you're so obsessed with it lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
My S5 NEVER did that, not any of my other phones. Maybe when you get up in your mid 60's and your vision isn't quite as good as it was in your 20's you would have a little more feel for this. I am NOT talking about auto mode settings. If that box is unchecked, the slider being all the way to the right, I expect full screen brightness. And BTW...with the 920T ROM I just installed, it is a world of difference in a normally background ambient lit room. And it is also brighter when I took it outside. That may be placebo. When I look at my wife's older Note 3 and her screen was brighter in the same room looking at the same picture, I started to question this. Others back when the Edge was first delivered also questioned it. If you like a dimmer screen in a room when looking at pics or Netflix or whatever, then great. Me....I want to see this phone outdo everything around it. NOW it does. Happily obsessed with a bright screen :cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] boosting1bar:
My S5 and Note 4 both exhibited the exact behaviour you're describing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] garylgray:
This was touted as a feature when the S6 came out. Gotta read the fine print man.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Trev420:
there is a REAL auto brightness bug with the s6 edge.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bx5MF2JbN0c

The phone is next to my girlfriends regular s6. I cannot get my screen as bright as hers until i shine a light into my phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
THANK YOU!!!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Trev420:
Running the v2 smooth and just checked the bug. Still there. Auto brightness off, bar cranked up, covering the sensor STILL lowers the brightness.

If i want the brightness cranked, let me do it, in any environment i want.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
I guess Some of us here will agree to disagree. Go to a TMobile store and ask to look at an S6 side by side to and S6Edge. The S6 will be brighter. My local TMobile manager here that I have known for 15 years was astounded to see this. If a dim screen is the new and improved version of what I bought an Edge for, then someone in the product department is pretty damn lame.

EDIT...and again....if this is a feature, then why when I installed the XtreStoLite_G920T_PureEdition_v.1.0c_UVU1AOCG_ROM is my screen now so much brighter it's like I all of a sudden bought a new model. And I have Odined back to stock, or smartswithed to the latest OCG 5.0.2 firmware as well as try the 5.1.1 leaked versions so many times my Odin and Smartswitch shortcuts on my desktop are screen burned in....(Just kidding)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Trev420:
okay, so im going to have to give that rom a try. had his work on my note 4, loved it. I should be able to go from 5.1.1 to Xtre without a problem right? And ill need to flash a tmobile kernel right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
Yep...again, I am using the Simple Kernel that I flashed after first flashing the ROM, prior to first boot. And Glovebox works a charm for adding back Edge functionality. Not quite the same as an Edge ROM but good enough. This is an extremely debloated ROM, so if you absolutely need a lot of the stock Samsung stuff, it will NOT be there. But as far as speed subjectively for me how this ROM reacts, and the brightness factor which for me is night and day, then I would try it. Just make sure you are using the TWRP version mentioned in OP here. I factory reset and wiped the caches, system and data as well. I just did NOT wipe Internal Storage. I have routinely used TWRP to restore any number of prior backed setups. One last caveat...somewhere along the way my baseband Firmware was changed from all current stock OCG to OE (going on memory with the actual reference RADIO name. I personally feel the stock OCG firmware as far as Baseband (Radio) gave me better performance. So I basically copied all my Internal stuff to a safe place, then intentionally used Smartswitch to get me back to stock OCG across the board. Yes, I'm sure there are Odin files around that will do the same. I just wanted to basically start from scratch and that was what I did. Just an FYI for what works best for me. I actually have a screen shot of Speedtest showing a whopping 69Mbps download and 29Mbps upload here in Las Vegas in an area I know has full and strong 5 bars LTE signal. Couldn't get close to that with the updated baseband I installed at one point.

I use the app Colors to change my wallpaper color. Wallpaper for some reason doesn't work. And Themes will FC settings. I don't need themes and I like a solid wallpaper on my desktop. Hope that helps......
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] nsdapm27:
Which kernel did you flash? The KT kernel on original android Dev?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
I did NOT try KT on this particular setup. Using the Simple Kernel.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] nsdapm27:
I appreciate it, I see I am also OE radio, and I have noticed my Internet speed a bit slower than before I rooted, can you explain how I can get back to OCG like you did
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Docmjldds:
I used Smartswitch which basically wipes everything and restores to total stock. I don't have a link right now, but I'm sure there's an Odin flashable stock OCG firmware tar or md5 file which will flash the firmware without wiping the Internal storage. One last thing. I noticed I was NOT getting deep sleep with that Simple Kernel. I just flashed the KT T Mobile kernel and will report back. Usually takes around 10 minutes or so after resetting the sleep states info to see.

EDIT: Deep Sleep works perfectly using the KT TMobile kernel. So use that instead of the Simple kernel I referenced!!!!

Did your bootloader and modem get upgraded when you flashed 5.1.1 or did you update it separately using odin? I didnt think a rom can change those things, they are usually left out of a rom.
