any way to go back to stock and keep root? google processes just keeps force closing on my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
nope. not until there's a stock rooted ROM.zip

I been at it all day and have another Dev taking a look for me as well..

my ROM boots but no lock screen and settings button doesn't work in drop down... other than that I'm almost there!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] speedfreak228:
ok cool. i had to odin back to stock
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
I'm starting fresh and going to try and make it just a stock rooted rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Berzerker7:
Try to get rid of the "custom" logo on the splash screen...ODIN back to stock/factory reset doesn't remove it. is there a way to do it properly?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
after a few reboots it goes away
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Berzerker7:
Interesting...got it! Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
Good news.. So I was able to get the completely stock rooted OC3 Rom.zip to flash successfully using Flashfire.. For some reason in app drawer there is no A-Z button like there normally is.. Other than that, everything else works and it's rooted! I will upload it tonight since it is a large size..

I am currently working on my first Extreme Syndicate v1 Odex OC3 ROM and if all goes well I will upload it also!

I did Deodex the stock rom and was able to flash it but received multiple FC's so I will not be uploading that version anytime soon until I can figure out the deodexing...

Extreme Syndicate v1 for the G925V will strictly be Extremely Debloated and stock rooted.. I will add MODS and other things as I go a long!

Well Odin doesn't seem to be cooperating on my 64gb

Stuck on this forever
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
try odin 3.10.. i also select only auto reboot.. it seems like its stuck on seeing your device.. hasnt started flashing yet lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Syn Ack:
Tried on 3.7 3.9 3.10... dang..........
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
not sure but i know the tar works.. ive used it probably 20 times at least myself lol

you can try smart switch but thats what i used to pull the tar.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Syn Ack:
4 reboots and multiple installs of drivers/etc and opening/reopening the tar later.... it's working now. Seems like Odin used to be more stable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] junksecret:
Thanks Elliwigy, I shot a little donation your way, hope others do the same. I flashed my S3 from launch day on and always appreciated the work of Scott and all the rest.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Dinc User:
Having the same problem right now and it's driving me insane!

My phone is pretty much bricked right now, I did a factory reset and cant get past the setup wizard, I think it's because I got a little de-bloat happy and deleted the Setup Wizard app. Is there anyway to bypass it and go straight to the launcher?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Syn Ack:
Just keep trying man. It took me 45 minutes to get it to work. I tried 3 different versions of Odin and multiple different USB ports. Just make sure you install all the drivers and Smart Switch, restart your computer a couple times, and just keep plugging and unplugging. Odin 3.10 ended up working for me after a long while. If it gets stuck on that part constantly, just keep quitting Odin or unplugging your phone. I wouldn't wait longer than 10 seconds for each try because it if works properly it will happen instantly. It won't hurt anything to unplug or quit Odin when it's stuck on this step.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Enzopreme:
This may be a stupid question, but i've had the note 4 before this device for awhile.... So excuse my noobness for a moment although I truly am not a noob, i've been around, contributed and helped quite a bit. But where do i find flashfire? will flashing this tar through odin give me flashfire automatically? what does flashing the tar in the OP do exactly? cause i miss the f@#$ outta modding my phone and im happy were def on the way!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
its just a stock odin tar and can only be flashed in odin.. it will make the phone like new out of the box.

you need to root your device then install flashfire to be able to flash custom roms.. this file in op will take you back to complete stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gunnermike:
Where do you find the Flash Fire app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] disco1224:
That's a great question, I've been trying to figure that out for days. I've gone through and joined the community and became a tester but no link or file is available for download. I don't know what the big deal is, just post it and be done with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
when you sign up for the beta and it takes you to the google+ page there is a link right there you just press it and it takes you to the play store to dl the apk..

its a beta release so that is why he hasnt just "posted" the apk yet.

i also wont just post it here because i didnt make the app and respect chainfire..

it really easy you are probably just overlooking the link (the link is a whole sentence as well)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
here is screens to make it simpler..

1) sign up to g+ community at top link

2) click second link and sign in to your google account

3) click link to download from google play

4) install and use it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] disco1224:
Thanks Elliwigy, I understood how to signup and all that, im just saying the link wasn't working when I tried it several times for the past few days. I know im an oldtimer but I know what im doing most of the time and those links were down. I just tried it a bit ago and it worked without me doing anything different so go figure.... Thanks for the screenies though.

At any rate, I have been using your roms for awhile now and I like them a lot. I will be installing this one and anything else you have going on with the S6E. Thanks for all your work!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
this is a stock odin tar.. not really a custom rom lol. check out dev thread and try out the extreme syndicate rom..

but be warned, it is extremely debloated! have a stock rom handy to manually push what you want!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] KiaraTheDragon:
this should be stickied it saved my life but too forever to find the tutorial
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
lol instructions are in op?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] KiaraTheDragon:
No like I couldn't find this post it needs to be sticky
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
oh haha. yea, i couldnt put it in the dev thread bcuz its not a custom rom.. its pretty much a stock tar file.. no customization done..

i agree though, things are hard to find at times
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] kizilat:
can i flas an international rom to my verizon s6 edge using tgis guide?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
if you have a g925v then no. this is ONLY for the vzw s6 edge..

if you have a international variant of the device and the odin tar for your device the tools and install INSTRUCTIONS are the same.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] kizilat:
Thanks for the reply, i mean i have a verizon s6 edge phone but I want to flash an international firmware to my phone not th 925v firmware
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
we have a locked BL so i would suggest not to flash any tar files not made for our device.. itd either simply fail altogether or could damage your phone.

Now custom roms are another story but youd need one compatible with our kernel and ported to function properly as far as data and other things..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] kizilat:
Now I am using my phone outside of US so can't update it and also it doesn't have my local language support, so what do you suggest me, which way I should follow?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
to my knowledge the vzw s6 edge hasnt had an update yet at all..

i suggest using it in English lol I have no knowledge or experience on language support on roms.. this is a stock odin tar for vzw s6 edge so id look in the g925f forums and ask around in there and you might get better help...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] kizilat:
Ok. As i understand from what you told, there is no way to flash another rom expect 925v to my phone, so i will try custom roms but i hope soon i will find a way to flash a different firmware.

My last question, if i gently ask verizon, do tey help me to unlock bootloader of my phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
lol nope.. they are the ones who locked the bootloader to begin with.. if it was possible, wed all have unlocked BL already
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] kizilat:
ok, i hope there will be a way to install a language pack or international firmware to verizon s6 edge, i will check custom roms now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
try more locale from play store
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] 3izz:
Not working
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ikenvape:
Thank you! It took a little more than a dozen but it worked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] mamba94:
Do you have the latest stock OTA for verizon? Also it would be great if this thread could be stickied.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
i will upload this weekend.. i have to dl it lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
really? its not working for you only huh? you should post more info if you need help.. it does work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] mamba94:
Cool...Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] johnny5126:
I flashed this, and now the phone wont activate, and it also crashes. I tried factory resetting, but everythings the same. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
check download (md5) and reflash..

many have used the stock tar file and i know for sure it works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] johnny5126:
I flashed this before, and it worked too. But now it's not. This is what happened; I upgraded to the newest firmware OTA release, then found the fix to fix the memory leaf which was to edit the build.prop. After editing it, the phone no longer worked, so I tried flashing it via Odin but with the OC3 ROM. I then tried the OE2, but same issue now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
It should still work.. the Odin tar replaces the entire system including build prop with the stock files.. not sure why it stopped working.. I'd tinker with it some more
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] johnny5126:
Oh I did now for 2 days. No matter what I do, and how many times I flash it, I get the same issue. When I goes to activate, it just keeps going and going, and never does, then google play stops, it freezes, etc. Are there any other things I can do instead of just flashing the usual way?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
Use Samsung Smart Switch and press more then emergency software recovery and initialization option...

That's only other recommendation I have until I can upload a full OE2 tar
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] johnny5126:
What mode should I be in with SmartSwitch? Do I have to flash the OE2 tar for this to work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] johnny5126:
Tried smartswitch, says "SM-G925V does not support initializing. Please contact our service center.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
That's odd.. you have a unique situation going on then.. you do have the drivers installed I assume?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] johnny5126:
Yes. The one that was listed in the thread of the ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] enzyne:
Do you have the latest tar?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
i do not think its a good idea but i will try to upload it this weekend..

i dont think its a good idea because you cant root it at all and to my knowledge u also cant downgrade it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] enzyne:
It's cool bro I already took the ota out of the box without realizing it would take my root away. You can pm me the link if you do end up getting it so it's not public yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Archangel:
Once I use the tar file in the OP can I take the oe2 OTA? I was on that before my system got messed up and it is rootable?

Never-mind,,,got it,,,thanks for the downloads and guide!!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] maomaox:
OE2 Tar and/or update Zip?

Hi elliwigy, do you have the stock OE2 firmware or the update package that can be applied to OC3? As OE2 is no longer the latest OTA, it would be hard to get back to OE2 once flash back to OC3 to unroot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
i did not get the oe2 update and now its gone.. you can however upgrae from oc3 if you want oe2 by using flashfire, flash an oe2 rom then dl the "ODIN Package" from trailblazer101's thread here:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] lucky_strike33:
does of1 have new modem or radios that we can flash only? Thanks!

Not having the bootloader unlocked sucks!

well, unfortunately im going to be taking a break from making anything folks..

my laptop officially took a crap on me..

im certain its the battery as i noticed the other day it started to drop in battery when it was plugged in where it would typically be 100% and it went to 0% and died.. it did have a red X on the battery for the last month and now is officially dead..

Is it possible to flash European firmwares with Odin to this Verizon device?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ChadH42:
No.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Tactrus:
Looking good
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] iHTC:
Is there an odin package for OF1? I realize it kills the root ability. I know in the regular s6 forums they have an odin package for OF1. I have the OF1 radio already with trailblazers rom but need to odin back for warranty purposes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
I have not uploaded it.. you can however use smart switch.. use the emergency restore and initialization option and it will dl and install full of1 tar..

i have no plans at uploading the large file until root is available for it

Extreme Syndicate
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] jbarcus81:
I think I did it now.. ran odin with the pack in post #2.. passes and now get "Start Up Failed" Your device didn't start up successfully. Use the Verizon Software Repair Assistant on a computer to repair your device. --- Uh oh..

Trying to use Smart Switch.. maybe I'm not able to in this situation? I went into Emergency Software Recovery and Initialization.. Clicked on Software Update and Initialization tab.. entered modem # and my serial (IMEI) and says to check the serial number..

Crisis averted.. I flashed the TAR file from the OE2 thread of trailblazer.. Still looking at the red Verizon boot animation but it's at least going the right direction now..

I'm not sure what's going on.. still doesn't seem to be fixed.. I thought ODIN would fix any issues .. Maybe I've broke it for good?

I flashed in ODIN this file.. Trailblazer101_925V_OF1_FLASH_ME.zip and it's now booted.. I'm so lost what happened..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] greeniron154:
Pretty Sure Im Screwed

Odin wont install and my phone doesn't go into "download mode".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
bcuz you updated your modem to of1 you cannot use my oc3 tar since it contains oc3 files for what youve updated already and cant downgrade.

smart switch should work.. you dont use the option to put in your serial number, it should find it automatically.

OR get the full OF1 tar from Sammobile:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
i know its late but ill be uploading the stock oe2 tar today lol

Extreme Syndicate L
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
Full Stock OE2 Odin TAR is available now.. This way we don't have to keep going back to OC3 and then installing a OE2 ROM and then using the OE2 Flash me tar... It simply takes a step or two out of the way if we have to start over from scratch :) It also saves time since Sammobile can take HOURS to download from them and it is not available from Smartswitch anymore due to OF1 and now OG5 being out...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] maomaox:
Perfect! Just in time. Thanks a lot.:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Dcox28:
If I Odin back to stock so I can take the 5.1.1 update will I lose pics in my gallery? Seems like that happened to me before. Not sure I know how to back them up unless maybe I just copy off my download directory to a pc and then copy back afterwards?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] rquinn19:
FWIW Just flashed OE2 and didn't lose a thing, was actually kinda dissapointed about it. Wanted a completely fresh start. Had to go and wipe after. But, I'd back up everything on your desktop and or the cloud. I also have a usb/microusb drive. Love it, even though I have a OTg cable it makes life easy when backing things up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
the stock oe2 shouldnt wipe internal but id back everything up to pc just in case.. you should be able to do it manually or try samsung smart switch.

oc3 WILL wipe everything

Extreme Syndicate L
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
yea i forgot to add the oe2 tar i posted doesnt wipe internal.. personally, i didnt know this until i used it (prior to uploading it).. i actually was stuck in a boot loop and frustrated to lose everything as usual but i didnt! lol i like the no wipe tars better

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
unfortunately you cannot downgrade and root is not available for OF1 as well as verizon has a locked bootloader so you cant trip knox to use custom recovery either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] diegohalbo:
then there is no way to install or custom rom ?

then there is no way to install or custom rom ? :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
for you unfortunately not at this time.. you need to be on a firmware prior to OF1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] MrWizzu:
anyone upload the OG9 update? I am unable to get it via updates because settings has unfortunately stopped.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
are you on a custom rom or have sdm.apk frozen or removed?

i do not plan on uploading a non rootable firmware which is why i havent even uploaded of1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
if anything it might be uploaded here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=62616382

he has the other unrootable tars available
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] MrWizzu:
Yeah you are right, I was previously rooted, and gave it up to prepare for Samsung Pay, and I had frozen sdm before I did.

Anyway to unfreeze that file without having to reinstall/format?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Deuces:
It sounds like you have a problem that can only be resolved with a factory reset.

The reason I say this, is you've mentioned your settings app force closes.

Even if it was working, SDM is in the system partition and would probably require root to unfreeze.

You're going to have to do it eventually.

I haven't found OG9 yet, but I am uploading OG7 today.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
yea.. a factory reset might work but if i was him id just take the og7 tar and update to og9 and start completely fresh..

with a factory reset it might have some dependencies removed if he modified the system at all/debloated so it might be a lost cause and waste of time to factory reset just to have to odin anyways and still lose his apps/settings either way
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] jlang11:
Ok, so im on G925VVRU1AOC3 rooted with pingpong. Been having some issues with slowdown/lagging and want to unroot and go back to stock. May upgrade again and get something different. My first Samsung (always a Moto guy), and I was excited at first, but now just seems, idk....

Which file do I need to Odin to get back to stock so I can OTA??

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
what ota are you trying to get to? i recommend oe2 tar since you can still root oe2 and its newer than oc3.. anything after oe2 you will not be able to downgrade or root
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] jlang11:
Good question lol. I havent done a lot with this phone, as opposed to my Droid hd maxx, and Im thinking just updating to the latest OTA and letting it go (not rooting, tho Ill miss no ads) and at some point (probably when i reach my 50% paid off mark) upgrading again and getting something else.

I guess I should follow your advice and go oe2 in case I change my mind and want to install that cool red theme in the Theme forum...

Thanks for the advice and listening LOL!!

Hello!! Thank you very much for your contribution!!

I'm from Argentina and I have a Samsung S6 Edge model with G925V Verizone. firmware and I want to put a rom for Argentina.

I read that the 925i is for Latin America, I wonder if it is possible to change rom, or if it is impossible to change it.

i need to put another because my sim is from Argentina and I'm having problems with networks.

Can you help me?
