I extracted just the system image from G925FXXU1AOD9 and re-tarred it. The tar has been compressed to save on download time so just download the file from http://skipsoft.net/tempuploads/G925FXXU1AOD9_system.zip, extract the G925FXXU1AOD9_system.tar file and flash in Download mode using Odin 3.10.6. Make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked and nothing else.

If you get any error messages please post the exact message.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] mskip:
Well at least Odin works which is always a good thing.

Try the same flash process with the boot image from the same build (extract tar file from zip and flash in download mode using odin 3.10.6 and see if there is any difference.

http://skipsoft.net/tempuploads/G925FXXU1AOD9_boot.zip

If that doesn't work you could try booting to stock recovery and perform a wipe data/wipe cache.

I will also upload the latest stock firmware image for you to try flashing the complete image if nothing else works.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] MattKneale:
Edit: fixed, nevermind.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] Diamond777:
Good morning, yeah at least Odin kicks in so all is not lost.

Just flashed this boot img, no response from phone, it just stays blacked out. Cannot access recovery, and if I can, I cant tell since its blacked out.

I appretiate your efforts, hope fully I can use this phone as a phone sometime soon...
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] MattKneale:
In a boot loop. Managed to get device drivers up and going, and then managed to flash TWRP thank God.

But then flashed Chainfire's SuperSU through TWRP and got a boot loop. No idea how to get out of it? I can still access recovery but nothing to flash, and toolkit won't pick up on ADB or debugging at early boot stage?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] mskip:
Follow the first option from http://www.skipsoft.net/?page_id=1286

When you have your phone working again its very useful to make a backup in TWRP so you can restore your device easily if you get in to trouble again.

Mark.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] MattKneale:
Hi, thanks. Yeah I'm in the process of flashing a downloaded firmware now. Should fix it. The problem is that I didn't know how to flash TWRP so tried to do it first through the toolkit. Couldn't make a backup without it!

Do you have a good guide to installing TWRP via the toolkit? I've got the device running now. Thankfully I backed up core data before starting! :) Phew.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] mskip:
Try this: http://skipsoft.net/tempuploads/XEU-G925FXXU1AOE3-20150511111301.zip

Make sure to flash using Odin 3.10.6

Mark.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] MattKneale:
Ok problem does seem to be with Chainfire's SuperSU. Got back to a working stage, got recovery installed and then backed up.

Tried to flash both 2.46 and 2.49 beta but both unsuccessful.

Any other method of rooting on the S6 Edge?

What is the model number of your device?

[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] Diamond777:

[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] MattKneale:
SM-G925F. I was on XXU1AOCW when it first failed but had to flash XXU1AOCV to get away from the boot loop.

Wondering whether I should redownload Chainfire SU from his site and manually flash, rather than pushing over adb?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] harfot:
Have you tried the 2.49 beta from here? Have used it for a week now without problems.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] MattKneale:
I did but only through the toolkit and to the same effect. I'm debating trying again directly through TWRP?

Edit: solved by flashing TWRP on Toolkit, then Chainfire SU through Auto-Root on recovery (NOT via toolkit).
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] Diamond777:
Update : phone seems dead. Blue flashing lights at the beginning after unplugging from completed once it said PASS. But afterwards no reaction what so ever. So frustrating some people with 925F have no problems and I can't make it to twrp to stop what begun as a temporal sod. All help is appreciated!
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] MattKneale:
To clarify: you can't force power off (Vol Down + Power) and then immediately enter download mode? (Vol Down + Home + Power whilst switching on).

If you can get to download, you can Odin stock firmware.

Sorry if I've misinterpreted the problem!
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] Diamond777:
Yes I can enter download mode, but with a black screen so I can not see anything since yesterday. I know download mode is on because Odin shows it on my COM but apart from that no progress. The screen works, but it works when it wants. I've flashed a few cf root variants with t-mobile and international as some were able to get root and twrp working with t-mobile been international. So I'm just hoping this works out
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] Diamond777:
Done working, tested multiple times and phone remains with the black screen. Its gotta be software related since it worked just fine till the weekend grgrgrgrg
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] rm501:
Sounds to me like it could be a manufacturing fault with connection/contacts of power or data of the display.

I'm no expert, but it is possible.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] Diamond777:
it could be, but it worked perfectly until last Friday for a week. I think its software related..
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] Diamond777:
Update

For now and after flashing different

Firmwares on a desperate attempt to recover this beautiful 900 euro device, it's still on black screen. I don't see any android guy anywhere or any signs of life expect the blue lights in the initial boot. No sound no visual...

[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] mskip:
I will have to check which twrp is compatible with that model. Then it can be added.

Please do not quote the complete first post as it wastes a lot of space.

Mark
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] mskip:
Don't quote me on this but I would take out phone insurance then leave it a while and accidentally drop it in some water to kill it. Make sure you are fully covered for a replacement in the case of water damage. Either that our take it back to your supplier and say it's stopped working. If the screen is dead they can't see knox has been tripped.

Not the most ethical thing to do but it's probably your best chance now.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] MattKneale:
How do I get an insecure boot image? I want to restore the SD card backup but apparently I'm too secure :angel:

EDIT: OK so as far as I'm aware, insecure means 'rooted' and adb shell id should return 0, and contain root.

I get this through adb:

And the same through Root Checker except that's uid=10266 and gid=10266. Context for Root Checker is also u:r:untrusted_app: s0.

any ideas? :eek:

I thought my phone WAS rooted as it passes the Root Checker on the toolkit? And SuperSU grants permissions to AdAway/TiBu etc.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] juanj.muriel:
Sorry for the waste of space and thank you for your reply. I used with success the TWRP attached.

Is there a recovery for the verizon edge?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] Diamond777:
This will be in my final steps if I cant get this going no doubt.

But I believe I am using the wrong firmware. Since I am abroad working and I dont have either the box or documentation I have been able to retrieve the IMEI and SN. Providing this, is it possible to figure which is the correct stock firmware to flash?

I read somewhere that flashing the wrong firmware can cause black out etccc and I have been in complete darkness sinceI begun flashing firmwares, before it would come and go....

This phone is not spanish so flashing spanish stock roms probaly messed things up a bit!

thanks for reading me out, I hate to be that one particular guy that has that one particular device that wont work grgrggr
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] mskip:
There is no custom recovery available for the verizon s6 edge as the bootloader is locked so the image cannot be flashed.

Mark.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] mskip:
Ok so what country was you in when you purchased the device? Did you buy it from a store or online? If you bought it from a store I would assume the device model would be whatever model belongs to the country you are in.

What firmware have you tried to flash to your device?

When you turn the device on is there ever a time when the display shows something or is it black from startup? Is the black screen a complete (dead effect) dead or a black with the backlight on (at any time)?

It may help if you could get in to stock recovery to perform a factory reset and wipe the cache but thats not possible if the screen is always black.

Mark.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] Diamond777:
The device was a gift, it was one of the few that got sent outduring MWC in Barcelona. The warranty states:

Division: Mobile Phone (HHP)

Production location: Korea SEC

Manufacture line: 8-line

Production month: February 2015

Factory warranty till: 30 April 2017

When I turn on the device now it is completely dead. I know im connected via Download mode through the ODIN notification, if not I wouldnt know. Firmware flashing seems to work, after the first reboot I get some blue lights and thats it. Seems like it goes crazy afterwards and connects and disconnects. ODIN tells me ADDED, REMOVED over and over. No backlight at all. It was working fine till I struck it the first spanish firmware thinking it was purchased here. Today I found out about the bonus gift thing and that they are not spanish.

No recovery access so no option to wipe cache.

Ive tried flashing the 2 spanish, 1-2 from UK when I started suspecting this was an abroad thing and now I downloaded a korean one to see if that will stick.

This device had screen issues so I assume it was from the first devices shipped out with its faults and stuff...

UPDATE: Korean obviously didnt work. FAIL right away
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] MattKneale:
Have you tried using Kies to do an emergency recovery based on your S/N and model number? That should restore original firmware (and it's how I got back to my original). You only need access to download mode and since you can get that you should be fine. If that doesn't work then you know it's a hardware problem.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] Diamond777:
Yes I tried but Kies says it cannot verify the information provided and it cancels the process. Im just gonna give up on it, it has taken too much time already. I`ll do a drop test with it!
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] vicino:
First, Thank you man for this great tool!

Second, it's seems like i can't install CF-SU using recovery, getting bootloop everytime.

Version G925FXXU1AOE4

Any other option to install SU?

Thank you again

Solved: Using another version of TWRP solved this issue.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] aditya1987:
Hi.. Thank you for this awesome tool. I have g925I. Flashing the recovery which the tool downloads works but if I try rooting with the superSU the phone goes into a bootloop and the s6 edge screen keeps coming up. It became very difficult to recover my phone from that condition. Even the original firmware failed. Then somewhere I read, after flashing firmware till it fails, flash twrp and it automatically does something and the phone got fixed. Even trying to flash VN Rom goes into a bootloop. I tried flashing latest modem before flashing a ROM but no luck. I don't understand where m I going wrong. Please guide me. This is Indian version of edge.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] metallives81:
You can try one more thing: grab "Samsung Smart Switch" desktop version software (windows or Mac) and do a complete restore of the telephone: it will restore boot, recovery and flash the last firmware of your phone.

No need for Odin or something else, just launch SSwitch and plug your phone.

On windows, you will find the option for restoring when clicking the "more" button.

If you are on a Mac, check in "Preferences".

When you launch the process, if the count stays at 51%, don't mind, the flash will continue and the phone should reboot when it is done.

I tried many times and never had any issues.

cross fingers :thumbup:
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] Klype:
Hi i'm stuck at bootloop.

I've been trying to root my 925F variant and after installing SuperSU by pushing this file "UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip" via the TWRP install method manually because it didn't work via the automated step.

All the previous steps was succesfull.

The toolkit is waiting for my device to reboot to install busybox but instead its just blinking slowly in 8 sec loops showing the initial black/white bootscreen prior to the one with the colorful samsung logo with sound.

Could it be KNOX messing up things? Haven't got any KNOX warning what so ever, yet.

What can i do to get back to where i started or is there anything i can do to finish the process?

I am able to boot into recovery, vol up+home+power.

In odin mode it says:

Product name: SM-G925F

Current Binary: Custom

System status: Custom

Reactivation lock: off

Secure download : enabled

Knox warranty void : 1

[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] mskip:
UPDATE:

I have updated the S6 Edge module to use TWRP custom recovery 2.8.7.0 which fixes some problems with the previous version.

To download the updated module (which will then download the new custom recovery after selecting your build) just run ToolkitClean.exe and select the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge from the list. Module files will be cleaned and the recovery version reset. Restart the Toolkit (just select yes after the files have been cleaned) and select the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge to download the new module files 1.0.4. Pro users do not need this updated module as recovery will automatically update to the latest available version but I will push an autoupdate soon.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] @ndreX!:

Still I have an issue, I've flashed the TWRP for recovery, but I cannot flash anything as sideload, touch is not working. Anyone have a solution for this?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Original Android Development] Gaiosan:
Hi!

I Installed drivers, performed backup, and then proceeded to Rooting (with Recovery and Busybox).

After the recovery was flashed, the "manual install" from TWRP instructions window popped, but touch isn't working on the recovery.

I can't proceed with the tool, what should I do?

Now every time I boot the phone, it boots into the Recovery...

I can still access Download Mode for now... I have used Odin to flash recovery-stock-aod9-SMG925F.tar from Recovery Folder and the phone boots.

Ok, I have installed the TWRP from http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyS6Edge/S6EdgeTWRP.tar, and now touch works.

I think there might be a problem with the TWRP version you included... FYI..

Thanks

Hi,

i have a s6 edge with the stock android 5.1.1 (G925FXXU3COI9).

Can i root my phone with this tool? If yes - is knox tripped and if knox is tripped, is the only disadvantage of a knox 0x1 the samsung pay did not work and the warranty is gone (maybe)? I read in a froum that with knox 0x1 the fintergrint reader is not working anymore....
