You can only flash roms in the Verizon section. The other sections have to deal with unlocked bootloaders and custom recoveries, which we do not have.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Yep, I try to avoid it but had bad insomnia last night. Was trying to figure out how to root 5.1.1.

I can do it but if a user screws up and has to Odin... They are locked :crying:

True! Those poor guys with there unlocked bootloaders :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] supersmash19:
Wait so you got 5.1.1 rooted? If so the YOU ARE THE MAN! If not You're still the man but you know it would be awesome if you did lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
its not difficult to pre root a 5.1.1 rom.. but as he stated, if anything at all goes wrong, you will be left on stock 5.1.1 without root since you need the kernel/BL to my knowledge for the rom to function.. meaning you cant stay on oe2 BL/kernel since the 5.1.1 system/rom will not run without updating everything else.. its too risky imo.. things can go wrong and if they do youd be stuck on stock no root after an odin flash lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] ra9b:
So it seems like even if you guys get this to work, it won't help those who are already on 5.1.1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
correct.. its a pre rooted rom not a root exploit to root 5.1 as it stands to my knowledge
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
This is all correct.

I could post a CleanROM on 5.1.1 but because of the fact that there is no "restore" method it could leave some users stuck on stock 5.1.1.

I wish HashCode was back. His program had a great feature, it would allow you to halt it and go to a copy of TWRP before it booted. That way if you did hose your phone you could restore a back up. But he had bigger and better things to do.

With flash fire there is no fail safe before attempting to boot. :(

Hence why I wont update the ROM. Also, we dont know if they employed the same root preventions that they did with the S6+ and the Note 5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] IMMORTALKING69:
Doesnt TMob have an option under settings to "unlock bootloader"? If so, is it possible to port a tmobile rom to VZW and see if that function works? Or is that the dumbest thing you ever heard...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
it doesnt work that way unfortunately.. you can most likely get the option but essentially it wont actually unlock the device at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] IMMORTALKING69:
So what your saying is, when/if i flash your Clean 1.5 5.1.1 rom, i will have a rooted 5.1 clean rom on my s6 but, i just cant ever go back? What are some of the things that could go wrong like major players not working? Wifi, Bt, camera etc? Bc im down to flash and if whatever happends, im on 5.1 stock, so be it., as long as my phone works. Like dont Hard brick me. I love root but its the latest android man! IF not now then when IMO. 5.1 will never get root and so on. LMK. I thought to do this i need to be on 5.1 first. Odin instead of FF im guessing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
No, it would run perfect, but its not you I am worried about. Its me, and the guys that may make mistakes.

Im pretty confident I can pull it off completely blind on first try! Its not hard to write the updater script and make everything is in place... Its just a gamble if something goes wrong for someone else.

Thats why I am holding back
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] IMMORTALKING69:
Well, im probably going to update in the near future anyways bc i think 5.1 is just a better build of android. Foxfi for tether, ABP browser, disable unwanted apps for non root. Going to miss my M boot animation and 3 min mod from [MENTION=5346465]Tulsadiver[/MENTION]. Please PM me if you want to try bc if im going to make the jump, id really like to try to bring Clean Rom with me. At least you will know if it works. Ill be waiting for you to get in touch. Not to mention, ill feel a little safer on 5.1. Just keep hearing more and more about stagefright etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Ok man, I appreciate that. I will let you know if I decide to pull the trigger!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] IMMORTALKING69:
I have an UDP but I found this and just want to know wth it means.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
were u by chance using any apps that require data that you uninstalled during that time period?

either way looks like one used 1.6gb of data running in the background which doesnt seem normal
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] IMMORTALKING69:
Im running Clean Rom 1.5 BC the lite version removed wifi direct. After a fresh install, i used titanium immediately to remove the other apps that i did not want. This is the first time i have noticed this and dont understand how a deleted app is using data, 1.6gb at that. If its using data then its using battery. Just thought i would get some opinions. But no i was not using any apps that i deleted to answer your question. Was the bloat i removed running in the background? Couldnt say. Is this a first?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
not sure but not normal
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] IMMORTALKING69:
Prob going to go to 5.1 this weekend.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] IMMORTALKING69:
[MENTION=426561]scrosler[/MENTION] do you want to give operation clean 5.1 a go?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
No, Im just gonna wait to see if anyone roots it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] thrgk:
Does it look like OG5 will get root or most likely no or not soon ?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
who knows.. the s6e on oc3/oe2 was rooted right away but ofx/og5 has not been rooted yet..

point is, it happens at random and no one can really say when or if it will be done.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
TO add to that they also have to find a way to exploit the operating system. Its not like sitting down and writing an app (but they do that too). They need to find a vector of attack that will raise the app to root privs. It is not easy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] mnogue:
Hi friends, I'd like to make a two short questions. I have two Flat S6, one from verizon and one international edition.

Is it possible with this ROM to use codes like *#06# to see imei number? I'm on OC3 and cannot do that, when I tried I got an " Invalid MMI Codes" error. In the other hand, I cannot call to *111 ( my carrier customer service) because of the same error. I tried the same in 920I and it works fine.

thanks in advance.

Martin
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Tulsadiver:
There are apps that can do that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Anyone else having MMS issues today?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] supersmash19:
Yeah I am but for me I think it might be because I'm using lycamobile and not Verizon. They used to not allow mms but added it recently so maybe it's still having issues but can't seem to download any. And also group messages show up as multiple mms messages from different people rather than one group message.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] mrsean:
For some reason Android Pay is not working for me on this rom. After entering my credit card info I keeping getting the following message:

Android Pay cannot be used

Google is unable to verify that your

device or the software running on it

is Android compatible.

Anybody know of a solution?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Nick281051:
I'm pretty sure they don't allow android pay with rooted phones. I can't even get into the app because my card that I used with google wallet isn't even compatible with android pay.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] bik2101:
anyone setup the device encryption on this rom? my work email requires encryption so I went ahead and started it.. coming up on 2 hours since I started. this is my first time setting up encryption on my phone so I have no idea if this is normal or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Gizmoe:
They don't. But don't feel left out. I am not rooted and non of the cards I use are supported by android pay including my Capitol one. They should have got it fully functional before rolling out. Of course that seems to be the Google method these days to roll out half baked ideas that just suffer from issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Nick281051:
Yeah i was pretty surprised that they've already migrated everything while a lot of big banks aren't on board yet. I use TD and I would have thought they'd be an early adopter.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Normal... You cannot encrypt with this ROM. Sorry. It has to do with the removal of certain KNOX elements.

The Bank I work for is on board.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] bik2101:
Wish I had known that before attempting it. But having to abort that and reset my phone was reason to move to CleanROM lite!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
thats odd.. i have all knox removed and i was able to encrypt my phone since my work requires encryption for email.. then again im using the outlook app and just had to set up a secure lock before it let me encrypt it. i have stock email apks removed as well.

---------- Post added at 09:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 AM ----------

i take that back.. its not fully encrypted.. it just required me to set up a secure lock so i selected fingerprint lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] odlay75:
I havent tried this yet, but from what I understand It wont encrypt if the su binary is installed. You have to disable su then encrypt phone, then re-enable su. See here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62068467&postcount=555
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] thrgk:
I am on OC3 stock but want to update to OE2 and root so I can use this rom. How should I go about doing it? I don't want to take the ota as it might skip OE2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
It wont skip and it will tell you the name of the update before you apply. Otherwise there is an OE2 Odin file in general if you want to go that route.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] thrgk:
Yes but what are the steps ? I downloaded odin , the oe2 tar and oe2 firmware .

What would be the steps to flash to oe2? Put the tar in the AP slot but how about the firmware ? And do I need to root on oc3 then odin or just odin to oe2 and then root and all set
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
You dont need the seperate firmware. The larger TAR file has it already. So put in AP slot, but phone in download mode, flash it, re-root.

You may have to check for updates in the root program a couple times before it will actually root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] thrgk:
Ok so I do need to root OC3 then flash OE2 in Odin, then Reroot.

I thought I could flash OE2 then root without rooting on OC3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
you are correct.. flash the full oe2 odin tar in AP slot in odin then root using ping pong then install flashfire+busybox then flash clean rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
This scrosler and I approve this message :highfive:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] supersmash19:
My bad if this was went over already, but I remember hearing it mentioned that 5.1.1 could be pre rooted before installation just not after and then you can't go back. Can anyone share how to do this? I wanted to update to 5.1.1 either way because my only root app is titanium backup now but I thought I'd try and keep root anyways if it's possible and if not and anything goes wrong I won't mind missing it as I'll just use the disabler package app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
You would need to take the kernel and the radio and put them in a tar.md5 format. Then take the system.img and decompile from sparse ext4 to a raw file system, put the root files in ./xbin and ./app as always. Recompile the system img to a zip format.

I would flash system.zip first then in the same flash, flash the tar.md5 in the Flash Fire App.

Boom you are updated. There is no going back and no garuantees it will work. I think they could have employed the same security in 5.1.1 update that the Note 5 and S6+ use. If that is the case you just flashed yourself a brick. If not, then you will have a 5.1.1. rooted ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Figure out my MMS problem... Was sending to a wrong number. Heh!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] MrWicked1:
That could be a issue [emoji106]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Who woulda thunk it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] supersmash19:
Ok thanks, I think I'll give it a shot over the weekend. If it bricks odin should be fine in recovering it right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
No. When I say brick, I mean brick. Brick as in it will never be used again.

Edit: People use the term brick very lightly around here. I when I say brick I mean you will NOT ever use that device after the transformation.

Wifi flashing Edge to straight 6

Hey everyone, I exchanged my s6 edge for the straight s6 today. It just wasn't for me, but I did kinda like the easy access contacts on the side. I decided to flash the Edge Clean Rom to my new device, and all went well. The only problem is that it keeps forgetting my wifi passwords on reboot. I tried reflashing, but that didn't fix the issue. I also tried editing build.prop line ro.securestorage.support from true to false. Now my wifi passwords are no longer encrypted (plus), but the device still forgets wifi passwords on reboot (minus). Any ideas to fix this? I'd really like to keep some of the Edge features if possible, and of the two Clean Rom threads, this is the one that seems to have some discussion about flashing Edge to straight s6.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Make sure you on the firmware listed in the OP. It usually solves that issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] ryanjayke:
I meant to mention that I'd install from the OP as well and am running 1.5.

I flashed the straight 6 rom today to see how WiFi faired, and it's remembering my passwords. To note, I'm running OE2 baseband. I can't figure out what could possibly be the problem with my individual device. If we can solve it, I'd prefer the extra options within s6 Edge but will run without for now. I loved Clean Rom on my Edge and am still having a great experience with it otherwise.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] supersmash19:
Ok nevermind not risking it lol. And yeah after having a nexus which was practically impossible to brick yet people still used it to describe boot loops has gotten me too comfortable with 'bricking'. Glad I asked before attempting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Can you check your radio version please? Just the last 3 digits.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
a boot loop is considered a "soft brick" whereas if it wont boot at all its called a "hard brick" at least thats how i look at it.. so at times its unknown when ppl simply use "brick" lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] ryanjayke:
You're referring to the baseband version? OE2. Please correct me if you're looking for something else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Yep!

Hmmm... Thats odd... And you are running CR 1.5? and have these issues? Very strange to say the least.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] ryanjayke:
I was, yes. I switched to straight 6 yesterday. I can try to flash it once more today. I redownloaded it yesterday and am prepared to do a fresh reinstall because, well, who knows.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Yeah, i have to admit I am confused on this one.

Can you verify the kernel build date?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] elliwigy:
before doing that use a build prop editor and make sure:

ro.securedstorage.support=false

edit: nvm.. i see you did this already lol. i suppose just make sure it stuck.

if you cant fix it maybe theres an app to automate the login? it is odd for sure..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] ryanjayke:
LOL well, I have no idea why, but my shot in the dark solution worked. A fresh re-download and fresh re-flash worked. For the record, I used a different mirror (first downloading from California and last night from Arizona...again, who knows), and my kernel build date is 5/12. Thanks so much for sticking with me and all of your quick responses. And even more to the credit of your rom, I've restarted and flashed and messed with this device so much in the last 24 hours. Yesterday it never broke 40% battery remaining despite all the rigor it went through from morning to night. Thanks again.

---------- Post added at 02:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 PM ----------

Thank you for the suggestion. It was one of the first things I tried that, for some reason, didn't fix it. All good now, though, for no good reason lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Good deal!Glad its doing what it should be :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Gizmoe:
I hate the term soft brick. It's what started the whole confusion in the first place. Corrupted or bricked IMO
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] supersmash19:
I'm on 5.1.1 and I honestly think the ram management has improved but the battery life sucks. I was getting way better battery on this rom. I really hope 5.1.1 gets rooted soon so we can get it cleaned up. New Nexus 6 is looking really tempting and the reveal is this Tuesday so not sure if I'll be able to resist.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] mattkilla420:
This Rom is great. Even though almost all Sammy apps were debloated, since I had the ones I liked backed up via Samsung account, they all reinstalled perfectly on the first boot. Battery drain is significantly better. My charges are lasting a good 3-4 hrs longer than the stock Rom.

As far as encryption, my work email account requires encryption and I did not have any problems setting it up on this Rom. I did backup and restore my accounts and other apps via TB , not sure if that has anything to do with it. But I did not have to disable the su binary in order to encrypt.

Once again great work on the debloat and speed up of this Rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] ryanjayke:
Has anyone been prompted to complete the Security Policy Update? And if so, did you take the update? Did you lose root? Do you know what the update is?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Decline the update And I think there is a Do not ask again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] supersmash19:
So just curious scrosler after seeing the new nexus devices do you think you'll switch to one of them? I'm tempted by the 6p especially because I could sell this and get it without losing much or the 5x I could probably break even for.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] thrgk:
With all recent apps closed I have 1.2gb of free ram. Does this sound like i suffer from the memory leak issue ? If it does is there a simple file I can flash or is editing the build prop my own the only option
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
No, If your phone is running the way you think it should then dont worry about anything. The memory leak affects those that run 10,000,000 apps at the same time. In wich case the kernel can start shutting down apps that it thinks you dont need running.

But if you are not having that issue then there is nothing to be concerned about.

I want the 6P but to be blunt, I dont have the cash for it. My surgery at the begging of the year is drowning me in debt right now. I will more than likely be on the S6 Straight unless some one gifts me a new phone.

But to be honest with you, I do love this phone!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] supersmash19:
Yeah I really want the 6p as well but I don't want to pay any extra for it. I'll probably just wait it out until the price drops or I can trade since in the end it probably won't be worth spending any extra on.

For now this phone is doing awesome still but my battery life has really sucked lately so I'm gonna try and get that one free replacement.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] matt1733:
Battery life is most important to me Clean rom lite accomplishes that for sure
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] mattkilla420:
Love this ROM. Been using it for about a month now with no problems. One small thing that just started happening is that the fingerprint scanner is not working right. I press the home button to turn the screen on, then place my thumb on the scanner. Within about 2 seconds the screen cuts back off and the sensor reads nothing. I press the home button again place my finger and the same thing happens. Screen goes off. The way I've found the break it is by pressing the home button twice to bring up camera then hit back then the sensor seems to work without the stern screen cutting off. Anyone know of a way to fix this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
I never heard of that issue before. Anyone else see it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
WOW!

Over 1,000,000 downloads combined among all my devices!

Thanks for everyone's support!!!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] exilepa:
Anyone know what the fix is to get Advanced Calling working? It says it has been activated and to power down my device, but it never activates after powering back on. I've tried a couple of times now along with clearing cache and rebooting in flashfire to no avail.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
For whatever reason some people had to have it activated on the full stock ROM before rooting to get it to work.

Other people had to call VZW because it was some weird account issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] anewday:
Same problem here. I didn't bother as I already had everything setup on phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Well due to the fact that working ROOT exploit was never found for 5.1.1 I have decided to upgrade (like an iPhone) and close this thread. If a root comes out then I will re-open the thread.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] allthemalarkey19:
Couple questions:

1. Is this ROM deodexed? I would like to flash it and try Xposed once darkera releases his guide if it's a deodexed ROM.

2. Will flashing this ROM mess with my knox counter at all? I'm assuming no, but I just want to make sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Sweeeeet! I knew it!

Thanks for answering back!

Possible on the Edge I keep getting people asking me but... I dont have access to the Edge. I need someone to donate a busted one or a bad ESN model from ebay or something... But I am not saying no at this time.

Correct. As a matter of fact the system will F/C if you just try to look for updates.

1. Nope, but exposed does not need to be on a De-Odex ROM.

2. Nope. Knox gets tripped by flashing a custom recovery or boot.img. Using flash fire and pingpong root neither of that happens. You will have the "Custom" on your boot screen but that goes away when you revert to stock using Odin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] allthemalarkey19:
Well, Xposed currently doesn't work on Lollipop TW ROMs, but darkera apparently got it working, though he says his guide (to be posted soon) will only work on de-odexed ROMs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
Oh, Ok. Well thats good news. I might de-odex it at a later time :good:

can someone go in a completely dark room and tell me if their flash is always lit now? Mine wasn't until i flashed this rom. if no1 else is then maybe i'll just reflash and see if that fixes it

I know that your rom is getting used on ATT phones too. Is this rom built off the latest OTA they received? Or is is built of the current verizon and thats what they are using?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Scott:
I built a pure AT&T ROM for them. And I built a Pure VZW ROM for us.

I may do T-Mo and International too.

They are pretty interchangeable sans the boot.img. So I can use my AT&T ROM but it doesnt allow data or see the baseband. But its enough for me to test the ROM before I post it.

And in honesty, I could prolly fix the unkown baseband by porting over the ril. BUt for my purposes, its perfectly fine.
