I have a question regarding similar issue when I run Odin as administrator is the reason I can't find the file I downloaded because it needs to be extracted or can it be used in Odin as a zip file and if so where should I put it as far as Odin seeing it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
if its in .zip format try extracting the tar file from the zip lol

Sorry brother jus don't want to be that dude w/ a bricked device w/ my pride in tact for not asking thinking i know it all considering i ran through the thread and either missed that part or did not see where its mentioned
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
lol no worries.. typically all tar files are zipped to compress the size of it.. a full odin tar for example is closer to 3.8gb in size but zipped only 1.8gb or so..

so typically we will zip the odin tars for uploading

OTA update to OF1 looking to flash back to OE2

So I broke the cardinal rule and did an OTA update to OF1..stupid I know. But I would like my root capabilities back. Therefore, is it possible to go back to a previous firmware?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
sure isnt.. you need to wait for another root method now since you cannot downgrade

---------- Post added at 03:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 PM ----------

to add, the very first line in red that you quoted specifically says to not upgrade since you will lose root and cannot downgrade it lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] :
Flashing the stock tar and taking the OTA yield the same results. You are stuck without root my friend. Your only two options are wait for root or sell yours and find one that hasn't been updated on Swappa.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] nrage23:
No. They are for the Verizon S6 not the S6 Edge.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] MIKEYSAKZ:
I have a quick question regarding the two tar files so here goes, are they forward and backward compatible meaning can you go to oe2 and then back down to oc3 or no just asking if it's possible not that I wanted to go back and forth but just in case I needed or liked or had better results with oc3 after updating to oe2?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
yes..

however, you CANT downgrade after OF1..

so between oc3 and oe2 no issues but once you go to of1 you are stuck there

has anyone noticed improvements? the radio in the s6 is god awful, i would have gotten rid of it a while ago if there was any other phone worth trading for.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
lol its god awful but nothing better out there?

our devices have great reception.. i have 3 s6e and a s6 and a note 4 and a tab s on my account and no reception issues at all since the phones came out.

you must live in a terrible reception area or your device/something youre doing messes it up.

if you have a bad radio, nothing you do will fix your reception issue since the radio is hardware unless you are talking specifically about modem firmware..

most likely upgrading even modem to og5 will force you into upgrading completely to 5.1.1 this losing root lol.. if u dont mind that there is sammobile or smart switch to update your device. Misterxtc is no longer supporting the s6 to my knowledge

this may not be the best place to post this but I need some help. I upgraded my firmware using odin from OC3 to oe2 . I then used ping pong to root. woke up this morning and my messaging app is all out of whack. I am unable to view or send any new msgs. The notification for the msgs come through but they don't show up in the messages app. Same thing with trying to send a message, when you hit the send button it actually send the message but does not record it in the messages app. Is there something easy I am missing? Like a wipe or clear the data on the app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
yea.. sounds like should be in troubleshooting thread as thes tar files wont cause that.

try ensuringvits set as default and try a third party app to ensure its just that app and nit messages in general.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] mattkilla420:
where is ensuringvits found? I do need to note that I followed the process to the T but never ended up doing anything with the Retail.Zip . I flashed the other using odin but never saw the instructions of what do to with the retail zip I downloaded. Could this have something to do with, because I can't even get google play to load up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
ensure its set as default** its in application settings..

and how did you upgrade? this thread contains odin files so i assumed you used odin?

typically you download the zip and extract the tar file and flash in odin then root with ping pong

---------- Post added at 06:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 AM ----------

just DONT use of1 files if you plan on rooting, so oe2 is fine
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] mattkilla420:
Yes i used ODIN to update. What I was saying is I only extracted the large TAR file, and flashed it in ODIN. Was I supposed to do anything with the smaller "retail" zip?

Yes messages was set to default. I tried using messages+ to send a message and it worked fine so I assume it is the app.

I think I goofed, accidentally wiped the system data when I was trying to clean things up to see if it would run better. Evidently that is the same thing as a factory restore, because I am setting up the phone again. Maybe this will be a better way to start from scratch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
the full oe2 odin tar should have worked fine

Hi Friends.

Probably this will be a stupid question, I apologize in that case.

I'm looking for a rom without carrier settings and I'd like to know what's the difference between stock tar file and retail firmware. Is the stock firmware a samsung original rom without any verizon settings and apps? or is the retail one.

I'm on G920VVRU1AOC3, Is the OE2 newer than OC3?

Hi.

I've got Antares CM12.1 (12.1-20150428-NIGHTLY-jfltexx) on my S4 GT-I9505 plus

CWM v6.0.4.4

Does it make sense to upgrade to CM12.1 optimized or wait for the final version?

It is recommended to use TWRP Recovery v2.8.6.0 instead of CWM.

Can I just flash the TWRP zip via CWM and It'll be fine? (TWRP replaces CWM?)

I don't want to do a clean install, just upgrade.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
It's not really an upgrade. They are different roms. Sure, they are both by the same developer. But on is stock AOSP and one has Optimizations to make it faster and smoother, I guess.

Doing a clean installation is recommended to avoid issues and bugs. You can, of course, dirty flash, but don't complain about problems :)

I would recommend you TWRP. It's easier to use and I haven't had any problems with it so far. I use version 2.8.3.0.

Flashing it using the zip should be fine.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PePeMoke:
Thanks mate!

The TWRP Recovery v2.8.6.0 I've got installed will convert to F2FS automatically?

Because in the instructions it says "To convert cache and data partitions to F2FS look in post above post."

But in the next line it says "System partition is automatically converted to F2FS at ROM's installation"

So I just flash the ROM via TWRP and it will do so?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
F2FS is optional. You don't have to convert. You can just flash it with your default file system (ext4).

But you if do want to convert and flash that rom, then use the recovery provided by the rom developer. There is a link in the thread that takes you to a modified version of TWRP I think

Note: Converting will wipe the internal memory..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PePeMoke:
Ok got that.

I flashed the suggested TWRP for that ROM.

But it says in red "System partition is automatically converted to F2FS at ROM's installation"

So doesn't that mean that it will do the converting anyway? :confused:

It's the Antares cm12.1 optimized build by the way.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
As I said, using the TWRP recovery suggested by the developer will convert your file system to F2FS.

IF you WANT to convert, use that one.

IF you DO NOT WANT to convert, then download TWRP from their site or somewhere else. One that is not modified :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntaresOne:
The OP is right, my 12.1 Optimized automatically converts /system to F2FS at ROM's installation. I will soon revert this to let the user choose between ext4 and F2FS and to fix installation issues on recoveries that don't have mkfs.f2fs binary inside ramdisk

TWRP 2.8.6.0 is suggested because it has the maximum compatibility with Android 5.1

Differences between official TWRP and my F2FS-compatible? Just a plus: management support for this file system, the other things are identical

:)

Inviato dal mio GT-I9505
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
I know he's right.

I was just trying to figure out if he really wants to convert or not.

To me it seemed as if he thought F2FS is obligatory in order to run your rom. So I made sure he gets the point that it isn't :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PePeMoke:
Thank you for the answer first of all.

I wanted to root my device again after the 12.1 optimized build installed,

but when I flash the matching tar file (cf-autoroot bye chainfire) via Odin SuperSU is not installed and

when I download it from the playstore it cannot update the binary..

you know why is that?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PePeMoke:
Ok I've got root access by installing the SUperSU update via TWRP.

But why doesn't it work the other way?

I had no problems with doing so in your 12.1 nightly..

Bye the way, great ROMs!! :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
The rom is already rooted. But you have to enable root first. The rom developer (AntaresOne in this case) posted instructions in the rom thread on how to do that.

But installing SuperSU from the market or via a flashable zip is also good. I've had problems with the CM Superuser app.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
CF auto-root is only for stock rom. It's NOT for CM 12.1. I would reflash CM 12.1 without wiping just to make sure CF auto-root is gone.

Every CM rom contains root. You just have to enable it like GDReaper told you.
