[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gooner4_1998:
Hi

Hoping someone can help!

I'm wondering if I can flash the unbranded official S6 edge firmware over my carrier firmware on a carrier locked device? I'm not rooted if it makes any odds.

Reason I want to do this is that I'm with EE who take an age to release firmware updates and I'm struggling with the RAM management issue that the latest firmware seems to have fixed. Flashing the official unbranded firmware would obviously get me access to the updates in a more timely fashion.

I had a search around and i thinks the amswer is not but i got conflicting reports as to whether this is possible!

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamson:
Yes I did it. Will post instructions later.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gooner4_1998:
Thanks, that'd be great!

We're you unrooted and carrier locked as well?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamson:
My phone was branded but not sure if it was locked. I didn't have root neither.

What I did:

1) Download latest Odin

2) Download any software

3) Extract it (for example with 7zip)

4) Copy system.img and boot img to new folder

5) Download script from this post

6) Put script files in the same folder

7) Run ImgToTar.MD5

8) Flash system.md5 and boot.md5 with Odin

You can also flash recovery and radio with this method.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlotters:
Why not just download the unbranded firmware from sammobile, use Odin to flash it and be done?

What does the extracting of image files and so forth do?

Odin instructions can be found on the sammobile site where you pick up whatever firmware version you choose (my guess is unbranded UK firmware is a good place to start)

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gooner4_1998:
Unfortunately I couldn't get the flash to work. Just keep getting a fail about quarter of the way through, which then needed an emergency recovery using smart switch.

Must be due to the fact that the phone is carrier locked but there are plenty of conflicting reports online as to whether it's possible to flash a locked phone so who knows!
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Georgules:
I followed those steps exactly, got succeeded for all the flashes, and I still have all the carrier bloatware. What happened?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atnb27:
The only system file in my tar.md5 in called system.img.ext4 is this the same thing or do I have a corrupt firmware?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CNSBarry:
I flashed over my carrier (O2) firmware with the unbranded firmware, but since i did that a while back (round about device launch), i've had to keep flashing any updates that come out rather than being able to get them OTA - is this normal behaviour?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlotters:
It's normal behaviour if you didn't factory reset after unbranding your phone.

If you factory reset it you'll find that it re-registers with the unbranded CSC and you'll start to get ota updates properly.

Hey guys great thread I too want to give this a try but want to make sure I don't brick my s6 edge. I have a branded s6 edge from Japan softbank carrier model 404SC but it's actually SMG925Z. Can I use a unbranded SMG9250 firmware from Hong Kong on my Japan branded s6?

Flashed stock rom

Hey, i just flashed the stock rom of the galaxy s6 (not edge) over my carrier rom. I was using a sim from a different carrier than the one from the rom and it worked fine, meaning my phone was unlocked. I decided to remove the bootanimation and bloatware from my device so I flashed the stock rom via odin. Everything went right except that my network operator is not available. Could you help me, its the only thread that I am sure i will get help.

search about kernal backup and restore. im not sure about it. but you may need to return to , or restore your first kernal. i think wifi stops working if ypu use an incorrext kernal. each model has its own kernal.

which means, i think ypu can use the samsung kies tool to return to stock rom and kernal to fix it... but im not sure.

there are other harder ways pethaps.. but i dont think anyone has our version of 6.1.1 kernal atm. i dont thibk samsung released it.

i really am not sure. i flashed a new 5.0 rom, but not 6.0.1 yet.

i dont know how

I used pingroot in order to not trip knox and it worked

But now i used simplekernel using flashify but it tripped knox i dont know why

Is there any way to untrip it and

Whats the point of ping pong if knox it going to get tripped by a rom or a kernel
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mythos234:
Any custom firmware trips it. Good kernel choice though :angel: See it positive, you're not alone with this. Knox blew a physical fuse, there is no way to reset it. On the Exynos Note 4 it was apparently possible to rewrite parts of the bootloader to change 0x1 to 0x0, but thats only a visual change, if someone looks deeper than that, they'll notice easily that it's blown.

The point of PingPong is to provide Root without tripping Knox, it's not made for anything beyond that ;)
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanRyb:
Sadly no way to reset Knox. Any custom recovery or kernel will trip it. The point of PingPong was to root devices without tripping Knox. For example, I'm running completely stock software, but wanted to root for AdBlocker, Greenify, and a couple other root-only programs. I did not want to trip Knox (not at least until Samsung Pay comes out). PingPong was for people like me who want root but not necessarily a custom kernel or ROM. Sorry. :(
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hadihawat12:
Ohh thats a bummer now i have to stick with the annoying knox thing that keeps on going into my notifications
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanRyb:
I think you can use TitaniumBackup or something to freeze the Knox apps. I forget which one(s) but I believe I've seen threads around here that discuss it.

[Ornate TrueSmart] Backronymous:
Hi all. I recently got a Callisto 100 and installed monx's EZ SMART ROM on it.

1) Is there any way to disable default gesture(swipe left to go back, swipe right to menu)? I installed GMD Gestures app and want to substitute default ones for other apps using swipe gesture, but I cannot find any menu about it.

2) I'm trying to implement 'flick to power on' feature. So far I managed to make the screen turn on with Shake app, but it just shows the screen I used last, not the lockscreen(default watch face). Is there a way to do this properly?

3) Are there any useful free watch face app or lockscreen app I can use instead of dull default watchfaces?

Thanks in advance.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] daxliniere:
Hey Shantz! thanks so much for this, unfortunatley it doesn't run on my Hermes! :(

And I don't know how to debug it so you can take a look at it.

Feature request: JPG or PNG support would be great. Also, a way to specify where the files reside, maybe command line? If argument is not present at command line, then default to install directory (program root)

Thanks Shantz!! :) :)

Dax.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] shantzg001:
@dax: well, I'll add a config module soon for the image paths etc.

Will see if jpg/png support is feasible enuff...

About the hermes, i'll send you a debug build and try to run that. But first of all, tell me whether you can find a registry entry "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ShantzTodayChanger" and if its there then can you tell me the objects present inside it along with their values...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fallenczar:
cool,

i was actually thinking of something like this...

feature request????

how about changing the entire theme....

(what i am planning here is having different themes during different times of the day)

along with it say can you make it check the time (say instead of 600s i would like to change it at 12, 3, 6 and 9...)

whole theme changer(tsk), which will change system solors would be WROBG :(

Do you mean, you want to change it at a specific time of the day? Hmmm, I may try to include an option to specify the "cycle start time" along with the gap, which should take care of this...

@BigDede: I've never used SPB Diary but I'm afraid, from the description you give, it will be impossible for the changer to do what you want because of two reasons:

1. It is not a today plugin as you have already noticed, so I dont think it can be attached to a tab.

2. Even if I make a today plugin out of it, it wont work for it, because it changes the today background image, so you wont be able to change the background of just one particular tab...

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] illcaptive:
Ok the problem is if the theme changes more then once while the device is off that is when it locks up.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wacky.banana:
Illcaptive,

I used to have this problem with the phone not coming back on. It is a separate issue from the lockups that do happen if the changer rotates for long enough, which Shantz is aware of.

Do a search on this forum for fake server. Basically the phone not coming back on is down to the way active synch is setup. Once you find the fake server thread you will understand what to do. Search under the name of Mike Channon, if you can't find it; he first identified this problem on here.

Once done please let us know how you get on.

Cheers
