Great! I just wanted to verify before I screwed anything up :) ROM is installed and looks great! Hoping for some improved battery life out of this bad boy. Thanks a bunch

Well, i lost my root access for good :/ i was having battery problems, so i tried odining back to stock. i forgot that i had flashed an OF1 modem, since my sister was getting improved reception on her s6. I tried to odin, but i ran into the "use verizon software reset" error, and was forced to odin to OF1. Thanks for your work scrosler, and i sure enjoyed cleanrom while i had it!

That sucks! Sorry to hear man!

No sim and Security Notice notification

Cant put in new apn settings also I'm not getting any connection .

Also I noticed my imei says unknown please help ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] ra9b:
Were you on OE2 before you flashed the ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] GalaxyModder:
I Honestly didn't know how to check that. Ive been on 5.02 lollipop

And I know alot b of people had this problem after switching roms.

But I went from stock android rooted it with ping pong all rite

Then when I used flash fire and installed clean rom I noticed I'm not getting any

connection I also don't have imei and a few of my settings under about phone

say unknown.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] ra9b:
Go to settings. Then about phone. Then look at your baseband number. If the last 3 characters of the number are OC3, then you have to Odin to OE2 first. If your baseband number is OE2, then idk what your problem is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] GalaxyModder:
Thank you I'm on oc3. So I should use Odin and flash a OE2 version

Of my device?

I was currently about to Odin back to my stock software "g925vvzw1aoc3"

Should I find one that ends in OE2 and will it softbrick my device if I odin flash it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] ra9b:
Yeah, flash oe2 for your device. Keep in mind that Odin will completely wipe your phone (photos, music, apps, downloads, texts, etc.) So make a backup of what you want to keep. There is a thread in the Verizon galaxy s6 general section for Odin files. Click on oe2. Also, g925xxxxxxxx is a galaxy s6 edge. G920xxxxxxx is a galaxy s6 normal. I'm assuming you have a normal? If you do indeed have a normal, go to the aforementioned thread and just read the first two posts and you should be good to go. Then root your phone, install flashfire, download cleanrom, and flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Please do not post in each thread and also please do not quite the entire OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] co.ag.2005:
I just got a replacement Galaxy S6 from Verizon due to a hardware issue on my original phone. This replacement had OE2 installed! So I got CleanROM 1.5 running smoothly. However, "OK Google" doesn't work. My microphone does (confirmed with mutltiple apps, etc. and even Google Now recognizes my voice once I hit the OK Google button in the top right). I don't have Gear Manager installed, what else could it be? any insights? Thanks!

EDIT for clarification: when I open the Google Now app, saying "OK Google" doesn't do anything even though it's checked on in the Google Now settings. When I try to turn on "OK Google" on every page and it goes to train my voice, my phone doesn't recognize me saying "OK Google" to train my voice. It's weird, almost like my microphone doesn't hear those 2 words but hears everything else!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] ra9b:
What was the hardware issue with your phone? I went to Verizon today to try to get a replacement phone by saying that my battery life has decreased after I had to took OF1, and tried to get a OE2 phone but I couldn't.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] co.ag.2005:
I doubt that will work in your case. I've read on here that you can take it to a Samsung store and have them test the battery, and if they deem the battery is poor (from a hardware stance), they may warranty replace the device.

I had the purple spot issue with the front facing camera. Took it in and one of the reps I've worked with a lot before said it was a known issue and immediately processed my warranty replacement.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
What launcher are you using?

I dont encourage people swapping phones to revert to an older build so they can root if there is no problem with the phone. However, if you do have a problem do NOT take it to a verizon store. Call Customer service from another number and work with them. If they tell you to go the store tell them its too inconvenient and you need a replacement ASAP and they will just send you a phone.

But I do not encourage this. Im just telling you how I would handle things.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] co.ag.2005:
Nova Launcher. But I'm talking about when I have the Google Now page up, it wouldn't recognize "ok Google". Even if I switched to Google Now Launcher or TW launcher, launching Google now and then saying "Ok Google" wouldn't do anything, but my microphone worked just fine. But it's ok, I just went back to stock, unrooted. Thanks for the awesome rom, though. I always love your roms. Keep up the good work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Strange, works for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
agreed.. i called vzw for a relative on my account (NOT rooted and on OF1) because the capacitive buttons stopped working entirely after OF1..

I simply tell them I work for a cellular company and Ive done all the troubleshooting including factory resets and using samsung smart switch to do the emergency recovery and flashed a clean full OF1 to the device and nothing as well as no physical or water damage..

They said you sound like you did everything we would do and they sent a warranty replacement free of charge.

If you are knowledgable and know what youre talking about they usually do not give you a hard time..

If you do take it to a store you better have no sign of root, be on OF1 etc..

Hell with my S5 I updated it in store and got home and realised i couldnt root it with the update.. I disabled all apps i could and went back into the store and told them it started acting up after the update and i lost everything including my apps.. the tech looked at it and said it was wierd and gave me a brand new one and of course i told him not to update it since that is what screwed it up lol..

point is, like scrosler ssid its never encouraged but if you ha

ve no other choice do it right or else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] stark23x:
Is this ROM vulnerable to Stagefright? And if so, will it be patched? I admit I know about less than nothing when it comes to security exploits, etc. so I apologize if this is a stupid question! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] dang69:
The real question here is have you been opening videos sent by MMS from people you don't know. You don't need a lot of upper level security skills to know the answer or that it's not a good idea.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] stark23x:
Apparently I wasn't clear enough in my question. I was referring to the actual code in the ROM, not my own behavior as regards a possible security flaw.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] dang69:
The answer is yes. This is true of the stock Verizon ROM for the time being as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] stark23x:
Ahh. Gotcha. Thanks. My dilemma is I *do* get unsolicited MMS from customers once in a blue moon, but I'll be opening all MMS via a web app on a PC from now on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] MIKEYSAKZ:
The truth is and not to get even more off topic there is an app in the playstore that tells you if you are vulnerable to stage fright and there is a temporary Work around Illustrated on an xda video where if your cool with a third party message app you would freeze touch wiz messaging with titanium and install textra cause they have updated there app to include a fix for stagefreight.

Just my two cent heads up hope you found it useful.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] CaddymanLNL:
Just wanted to drop a line here. Previously I had a S4 on Hyperdrive that I loved, recently got an S6 and was hesitant to dive in on custom roms. Flashed this the other night and it is just as advertised. Fast, Clean, and great battery life. Kudos to the DEV.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] holla420:
I had the s4 and was running hyperdrive 2 years ago. Loved that rom and this rom is legit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
i wish we had hyperdrive! mdk s4 with hyperdrive was amazing! the good ole days.

So anyone here get the 5.1.1 update?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] ra9b:
Not yet... We can get it using the smart sync though, right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Yep, just be careful, its not rooted!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jeremycase00:
Could you elaborate on smart sync?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] ra9b:
It's a Samsung software that you could use to flash different updates. I got the ota though. I just had to go to settings and check for an update. This ota can't be rooted at this time though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jeremycase00:
Gotcha. Thanks. I'm running Clean Rom 1.5 and thought it was something to go from this to the 5.1.1 update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] ra9b:
Nope. It's for stock. I wouldn't take it if I were you. It hasnt been rooted yet. But I was on OF1 so no harm done for me -_-

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] s197:
Has anyone who used the old pingpong root method (where you had to swap out kinguser for SuperSU using ADB) and been able to flash this ROM successfully? Maybe we can try to narrow down the issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
All I know is I used Beta 5.3 and it worked perfect. And that installed Super SU.

But your thinking like I am at this point.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] MontegoMarley:
Set Metadata Recursive Error

This is not working for me... When trying to flash through flashfire, I get total errors = 4 and it says something quickly about set metadata recursive. Has anyone else experienced this? I have to reflash to factory, root, and try again. This has failed 3 times now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] musicfreak190:
A cast screen quick settings icon would be sweet like from AOSP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] mmartenn:
This sounds about right. My install failed with the first root method (kinguser) and work easily with the newest (supersu).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] holla420:
I would Odin back to stock. Then reroot and try again. Seem some saying it works on the 2nd time around. I only had this happen to me but that was on the stock rooted rom by the op.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] krypto1300:
Yes. I had the exact same error after my first try. I had rooted with an old pinpong and manually transfered supersu. I had previously Odin'd to stock on that install once before I did the old pinpong root.

I then Odin'd back to stock and checked re-partition just incase. I then used pinpong 5.1 and flashfire worked just fine.

I'm going to try again on my wife's S6 tonight. Her S6 is a virgin. Nothing done to it yet. I'm going to use pinpong 5.1 on hers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Yes, please tell!

Then I can update OP and put that you must use PinPong 5.1 and I think that is what the issue is.

Im confident of it now!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Yep, the more I think about this the more I think its the PingPong version...

At&T with OTA can only use Beta 6... And NONE of them have a problem. No one ever complained about anything during install.

Its got to be PingPong root versions older than 5.1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] holla420:
Battery on this sucker is insane
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:

Yea I have to remind myself to leave it alone at times lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] krypto1300:
Wife's S6 flashed Cleanrom without a hitch. Used Pinpong 5.1 to root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] 2crazeybolt:
Love CleanRom, this was my favorite on my S4 until Scott left. Always rock solid. Scott any chance we'll see this on the edge? I'm still in the window to return my phone, I'm debating on switching to the regular S6.

Glad your back on the Galaxy line.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] ra9b:

[MENTION=426561]scrosler[/MENTION] is there any way to pull the updated samsung keyboard from 5.1? I heard it improves the prediction and correction. It needs it bad.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] tellomaster:
Will there be an update to this Rom, implementing the latest Verizon update, 5.1? Possibly a fix a for this Cell Standby issue we all have?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Possible...

Unlikely until someone roots 5.1.

I heard that an easy fix for those that do see the issue is to turn off Advanced calling, then use flashfire to clear the Cache's, then turn Advanced calling back on.

I had to do that and I never had an issue again. It doesnt even show up in my battery list.

Love this ROM Scott!! Do you think you will be making ROMs for the Edge+? Also do you guys think that phone will ever get root?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
No and it will never get root. Unless you go to T-Mobile or Sprint.

KNOX Prevents Root on Verizon and AT&T Note 5, S6 Edge+

My next phone will be the upcoming nexus or I may buy a T-Mobile phone and run it with AT&T SIM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] IMMORTALKING69:
Sad to hear. Im on the same boat but by the time i upgrade, maybe the nexus will have some descent hardware to compete. (S8 timeperiod) I highly doubt the upcoming nexus will be anything close to as good as Clean Rom S6.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] supersmash19:
I think I'm gonna be doing the same. Getting sick of Verizon and now that I don't even use their service anymore there's no point in getting anymore Verizon phones. It would be awesome though if the next nexus was like the moto x style and supported all bands. If the price isn't too high I'll probably sell this and go for the next nexus or at least try to trade for an unlocked or T-Mobile version of the s6
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] hoboballer:
This sucks lol. I love my girls S6 Edge and I wanted to get the Edge+ cause of the bigger screen and Ram. Verizon is killing me lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Yeah, it does suck. Verizon and AT&T are out of control.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] hoboballer:
Way out of control. How do you like your S6? Would you have gotten the Edge+ if root was available?

---------- Post added at 03:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 PM ----------

Also do you think root will be achieved for 5.1.1 on the S6 and S6 Edge?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
I like the S6 but wish the screen was bigger. I would have tried to get an Edge plus if root was available. Do I think root will be capable on 5.1.1. Nope. I think they are going to employ whatever mechanism they did on the Edge+ and Note 5 to stop root.

You have no rights the property you bought!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] hoboballer:
Yea I like the bigger screen myself, but don't want to give up the root access. Man Verizon and AT&T need to just stop it. T-Mobile service isn't good in my area. If it were I would've switched.

What rooted apps do you like the most? Any recommendations on SMS apps? I've been using Handcent for a while now but wanted to switch it up
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
agreed mostly..

for some reason they failed to enable write protection on the s6e/s6 that was implemented in the note 4/note edge which was out first but who knows why that occured
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Very few believe it or not. Sometimes ES File Explorer when I need to grab files off the phone. Other than that, maybe Ad-Away. If I'm going to make a ROM I use a program called root uninstaller to test dependencies.

But those are the only programs I use and its not often.

Ive never used any SMS app except the Verizon one or the stock one. The Verizon one is clunky to say the least but I like it because I can sync it on other Android devices.

Yeah, but who says the 5.1.1 doesnt employ the same or similiar?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
good point! i honestly didnt think of that.. makes sense and without root no way to test

Extreme Syndicate L
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Exactly!

IM sure the new 5.1.1 updated does employ some sort of mechanism to stop from root.

I sure as hell wish I could get the hboot that was posted in T-Mobile's section.

Was an engineering hboot that was fully unlocked. Ugh!!! I missed it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] supersmash19:
Wait, was it removed or something? Maybe someone else got the file and could share it privately?

Hi am on OC3... I need to upgrade to OE2? Can I do that from this site? Don't want to do OTA thru my phone carrier. I would really like to get rid of stock OC3.. I am already rooted though. Thanks guys
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] supersmash19:
Look up the thread on how to use odin for the Verizon s6 and you'll find all the files and instructions you need there. I followed that thread when using odin the first time and it worked flawlessly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
stock oe2 is almost same as stock oc3 lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] hoboballer:
Cool! I use ES File Explore as well. If you don't really use that many rooted apps then why root the phone if you don't mind me asking? And is there a way for me to remove bloat ware from the phone without it being rooted?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] supersmash19:
You can disable bloat apps using a program from Windows or an app version from the play store. It lets you disable even apps that you normally can't disable so its pretty much as good as removing them completely as you won't see them and they'll never run.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Because I like to make ROMS with as little bloat as possible. You need root for that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] hoboballer:
What is the name of the app from the play store that disables them?

I understand that! Man I miss not having root but I love this Edge+!! Any good file explores like ES that can be used for non rooted phones?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
You dont need root to run ES, you can just use the non root portion of it, which means reading / writing to data.

Trust me, if I had the money I would get an Edge Plus, but it would be on sprint or T-Mobile. Most likely T-Mobile device with Verizon SIM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] hoboballer:
How would the SIM work with the T-mobile device? Isn't T-Mobile GSM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Maybe so.. But I can tell you this. The last three smartphones I owned would work on Verizon and AT&T. I think the manufacture's are putting all the radios in. Would be good to research....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
if its sim unlocked to my knowledge the phones are capable for different networks. newer phones these days are pretty universal meaning outside locked/unlocked BLs and sim unlocking they have the same hardware. now you cant use a cdma only device on gsm and expect everything to work lol

typically world phones are capable on cdma/gsm as well just at times reuire a special sim like a sim trio for example.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Yep, and to that GSM is the predecessor to LTE 4G. But like you said, most phones are world phones now so pretty much anyone will work on any frequency.

I took a Verizon M8 and made it work with T-Mobile LTE (not me but a friend).

I also took a AT&T Nexus 6 and made it work with Verizon. Had no issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] MrWicked1:
You can go on T mobile's site they have a portion for "bring your own phone" and they'll let you look the device and they'll tell you if their Sim will work, I'm sure it would work vise versa I would think.
