I have the Korean g920s

Installed it, and it does install supersu but none of the internal kernel and SE linux seem to change
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] g.lewarne:
a-ha! ok, i need to add a specific 920S variant to the kernel selector flasher script.

OK, try this one! >> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952611404
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] interestingkid:
Nice, that worked, thanks a lot!

Hey, would you mind if I link this to a Korean android website, matcl.com, so more people like me can use your kernel?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] mythos234:
Do not try the G92xT bootloader from some pages back if that is what you mean, you can end up with a 1000€ edgy doorstop.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] wortel32:
i will never flash anything other than for 920F.

but a page back there was talking about a engineering bootloader.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] mythos234:
That is what I mean. It's for T
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] wortel32:
hehe just wanted to know what that bootloader does. since it breaks the fingerprint sensor?

i always check double check before flashing anything.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Quickvic30:
Sorry if this has been covered already.....I have a SM-G920T phone but have metroPCS firmware on the phone, will this kernel work for me? Thanks!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Mig1234:
Can someone make a system.img file and Boot.img for 5.1.1 SM-G9120P SPRINT. I think I can get my phone working but I need a tar file that contains the system.img and Boot.img. I think that if anyone has bricked their phone , these two files together might fix it for Sprint. I bricked it using this Kernel unintentionally. Thank you.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] wonderingabout:
call audio works fine with engineering bootloader on g925t with Auo's v4 kernel but you cant flash that to g920t. It is not the engineering sboot file causing that..that is easy to prove. if you flash only the engineering sboot to the phone with no custom kernel audio works just fine.

Are you sure? Anandtech posted an indepth article recently on Exynos 7420 and they managed to achieve some nice power draw gains by undervolting.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/9330/exynos-7420-deep-dive/5
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] big_adventure:
The problem is that their use case isn't a normal use case, and isn't a battery test either. In real life use cases, the processor spends almost all of it's time in low frequency states or DS. UV on the CPU ONLY affects CPU usage, as well, so it doesn't at all affect GPU, memory, bridge, radio etc. usage. Plus, the screen is the biggest draw anyway, and obviously it isn't affected either.

So, undervolting WILL reduce pure CPU power draw, especially in high-power states, BUT, unless you spend a lot of time in those states, the effect on overall phone battery life is extremely small. Me and some others extensively tested this on N5 and N6. The difference in any use case outside of running benchmarks is nearly zero.

I'm on 5.0.2 using 1.5 extrestolite rom with unikernel on g925i

I updated my bootloader and modem to the latest for my phone

WiFi, location always off unless needed

Brightness at about 25% no auto brightness as it drains battery

Using AMOLEDphoto for display

My email syncs every 4 hours as its not important

Iv restricted background data for Google play services with out any issue

Disable ok everywhere for Google now

Only sync app data and contacts in Google account all other options are turned off

I selected all the build.prop tweaks when I first flashed the rom

The rom and kernel pretty much takes care of the rest

Hope this was helpfull

First of all, great kernel! Using the v2-0003 TWRP file on G925F international version (a 5.1.1 XXU2POG3 build) and I can say...snappy, snappy, snappy :) !!!

I have tried to activate init.d scrips by create the folder in /system/etc, put some scripts and setting the proper permissions (755 and later test 777 - both folder & files) but no script is running @ boot. Is there any extra setting that should be made? (also cleaned caches, reflashed kernel, etc)

Many thanks for your time & support!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] datajosh:
This kernel should get you going.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Master&Slave™:
So it's safe to say that you won't get root with the G920T if you can't flash a custom kernal to keep call audio and must use the stock one.

I had to use the stock sboot.bin with a custom kernel on my G920T to get call audio back but this tripped Knox (Which I don't care about).

This means that there is some kind of issue with the engineering sboot.bin and the custom unifying kernels when using the G920T?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] LNJ:
The engineering sboot.bin is a 5.0.2 sboot.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] Master&Slave™:
I know it is, [MENTION=2918779]mikeyinid[/MENTION] said so the other day. So basically the issue is that it is 5.0.2?

Really big issue here. Samsung G925F running 5.1.1 on G925FXXU2BOFJ. Flashed this kernel and after the reboot in about 3-4 seconds of lockscreen everything turns white and then it stays white with some green areas where the ui elements should have been. Also the fingerprint scanner is dead. How to fix this issues?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] LNJ:
Did you take the OTA for 5.1.1 or did you just flash a 5.1.1 rom?

Just flashed v3 on my s6 duos and i'm happy because 200 mhz is back in the kernel. Big thanks G.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] big_adventure:
That's normal - you lose private mode with a permissive kernel.

Flash back to stock.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] daviefl86:
is there a way i could use private mode and be rooted....?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] LNJ:
Nope.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] big_adventure:
I'm not actually sure. I guess what you could do is flash a root kernel only when you want to do root things, then flash back when you don't need to but do need private mode?

Outside of that, Wanam states that his rom (which includes root and a kernel) supports private mode and I believe it supports root as well. I run that ROM (easier than dealing with stock 5.1.1), but have never tried private mode using the stock (Adam) kernel.

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] diego9016:
I have the G920I, flashed 5.1.1 (G920IDVU2COF8 Indian fw) and I want to root my phone to install a custom rom. What features will break if I use this method? Can I just follow the steps in page 1 to root and get TWRP? Any suggestions, warnings?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] mythos234:
The Knox counter is a hardware fuse nothing can reser it. The engineering bootloader might prevent tripping it, but nothing can reset it
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] pmichaelro:
Could be. If I disable the fingerprint prior to flashing this kernel, will it work without messing with the screen?

What is your current setup? Curious :)

And yes, I know, but I had my hopes up with this supposedly 5.1.1 engineering bootloader.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] pmichaelro:
First flash the engineering bootloader, then XtreStoLite which ROM the deodexed one or the odexed one?

XtreStoLite also has the UniKernel that supposedly messed up with my display in the first place. Wouldn't that ROM also do that?

I'm guessing I should wipe all cache and date before any of this flashing?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] LNJ:
The Pure Odex Edition 2.0 will work. Download unikernal separately and flash it after the rom.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] pmichaelro:
The Deodexed version isn't going to work? Both of the deodexed and the odexed version include the Unikernel. Why do you think it will make a difference if I flash it again separately after flashing the rom?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] LNJ:
His Deodex is 5.0.2

The Odex 2.0 is 5.1.1

But if you want 5.1.1 with working fingerprint, you'll have to get back to your original sboot or Odin back your stock rom.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] pmichaelro:
Very true. This part has skipped my mind apparently when reading about the 2 flavours of that ROM.

I can "skip" the fingerprint is everything else is working perfect.

An erase all data is required before flashing the Odex 2.0 version for 5.1.1?

Going back to original sboot means Knox trip, the only way back is full official ROM flash that won't trip the Knox.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] LNJ:
I've never erased data so far in all the roms I have flashed but it's up to you.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] pmichaelro:
Really? I guess you've only cleared the cache and the kernel cache.

This is really good news.

I'm guess if I don't like the ROM I can always then flash back to official ROM and leave the data alone. Cool!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] LNJ:
When you flash, it wipes system, dalvik and cache already. But if you have force closes, you may want to wipe data.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] pmichaelro:
I see. Good to know! Thanks for the help!

I'm curios to see how that ROM would fix the issues that I had with the official ROM. The white screen and greenish figures that you can barely distinguish.

There is a warning though on Odex 2.0 that says that you must have 5.1.1 bootloader. So what happens if I flash it and have the 5.0.2 engineering bootloader?

It states that "With v.2.0 and newer of this ROM an Android 5.1.1 bootloader is REQUIRED!!"
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] GeorgeNYer:
So to be clear, I not suppose to flash the sboot because its from 5.0.2? I am on official 5.1.1 and I've followed this procedure and it says to flash sboot.bin for everything to work. Now i have no audio and my fingerprint scanner doesn't work. Now I know eveything will fix itself if i reflash stock 5.1.1 but is there no other way of obtaining root without tripping knox?? Btw my device is a t-t-mobile galaxy s6

---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------

Can I flash this kernel without flashing sboot.bin without tripping knox?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] LNJ:
Yup. Only use that sboot if you want to downgrade to 5.0.2

Don't use it for 5.1.1

No way of not tripping Knox and have root and everything working on 5.1.1 yet.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] GeorgeNYer:
Thank you for your fast input. So I should just reflash stock 5.1.1 to fix? Will I loss all my apps?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] LNJ:
Supposedly if you flash stock fw via Odin, it doesn't wipe data but I would backup just in case!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] GeorgeNYer:
Thank you!

When using the Unikernel, Gear VR trigger when inserting the phone int he headset, but the screen flashes garbage a couple of time, then its all black and seems stuck until you take the phone out of the Gear VR headset. At that point, the screen come back and the phone works fine.

after a ridiculous amount of testing we think we have finally nailed the perfect VM and swap settings for this device, and have switched over to 5.1.1 new "fha" (instead of dha) which improves multitasking a LOT

Alse we are playing with tweaking the interactive governor so its a little more, uh, sensible in its frequency selection (the idea is to get some smoother scaling so we utilise more of the frequency steps)

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] pmichaelro:
Really big issue still. After flashing the engineering bootloader on G925F lost the fingerprint scanner, i can live without it for now. But after flashing this kernel my display has gone crazy. What happens is that when the device boots up after loading the launcher it turns white with greenish ui icons that are scraped on the display. Cannot understand any of them. How can this be fixed while keeping the engineering bootloader? Someone must have came across this issue and hopefully has found a way to fix it. Please enlighten me. Thank you in advance! I've also tried continuing the process and flashing the appropiate TWRP for 5.1.1 G925F. Everything went well and it was running ok. Then flashed the Xtrolite 2.0 odex version but the issue still remains. So what else can I try to finally fix the screen issue that i have without tripping the Knox?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] LNJ:

[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] g.lewarne:
I have had a number of PMs regarding the fingerprint scanner on the (now removed) engineering bootloaders. I will explain why it will not work.

In preparation for their rollout of Samsung Pay, samsung have added a lot more security related features into both software (rom / kernel) and firmware (modem, cm.bin, sboot). The engineering sboot is based on the 5.0.2 bootloaders and therefore initialises the secure-on-chip storage of the fingerprint scanner differently. This leads to a malfunctioning fingerprint scanner on all 5.1.1 based roms on all variants. the ONLY way to restore functionality is to flash a stock 5.1.1 bootloader. This cannot, ever, be fixed in either the kernel or the ROM you choose to run if it is based on 5.1.1 and is also why you wont see any errors in dmesg about it. The actual fingerprint drivers in the 5.1.1 kernels are not all that different, the software in-rom is. However, replacing fingerprint ROM stuff with 5.0.2 versions has also been tried and also does not work. It is simple too embedded into the security features of 5.1.1 roms.

This is also why 5.1.1 roms flashed on phones with older (stock) bootloaders have malfunctioning fingerprint scanners.
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] pmichaelro:
Tried the SimplKernel r5U and still the same result. After the flash and reboot, first time when the screen turns off and back on then it happens. The screen turns white with some greenish artefact :( cannot use the engineering bootloader in this case. You were saying something about reverting back to 5.0.2?
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] LNJ:
Is your fingerprint authentication enabled?

You may have to either Odin the correct sboot or Odin back to stock.

The OP doesn't want any talk about bootloaders here so I'm going to respect his wishes and stop!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] pmichaelro:
The reactivation lock has been disabled and the fingerprint is disabled, authentication set to swype (none).

If I would Odin the correct bootloader I would end up with a tripped Knox (considering I have a custom kernel and recovery).

The only fix I've read about was flashing Aou's v4 kernel, but that is only for G925T and not G925F...so it appears that I have no way of making it work with that bootloader. Root on 5.1.1 only via tripping Knox.

Thanks for all your assistance! When I'm going to not care about that fuse I'll just flash this kernel and that's it!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] LNJ:
Ah ic. You flashed the T sboot onto the F.

Anyway check your PM.

New kernel added to OP, its not v3 (yet)

Hey Everyone

I have had a number of requests from various ROM authors to create a 100% stock replacement unified kernel. I have now published this in my OP (UniBase). It has no tweaks. no fancy additions. No changes of any kind other than those required to make it compile and unify it. It retains Auto-Root and Auto-Busy-Box and will only be updated whenever new sources are available. both TWRP and ODIN versions are available.

As for v3 of the "proper" kernel :p, still working on that!
[Galaxy S6 / S6 Edge Unified Development] OptiMaxw:
All variants of S6 include Chinese SM-G9208/SS?

It seems the Chinese versions of the S6 are not included in this or any other kernel or rom development. Is this because they are too different from the S6's for the rest of the world? I wonder why Samsung chose to do that...?
