[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
Hi All,

Just wondering if there are any custom ROMS here on XDA that can be flashed to the 920W (Canadian) version of the S6?

It's been a while since I've had a "regional" type device (Going all the way back to my S3) as usually I opt for the International version of devices.

That being said, I don't recall how careful I have to be when flashing a ROM that may have been made for a different regional version device.

Also... What is the best way to root the S6? I've heard lots about PING-PONG and how it won't trip KNOX but any advice is appreciated!

Thanks in advance from a Senior Member who feels like a NOOB all over again... lol... :)

Thanks,

You're a senior member with almost two thousand posts and you still managed to ask your question in the wrong section...

T-Mobile ROMs can be flashed without the need for the audio fix, the same applies to AT&T ROMs.

Thanks to a few developers in the TMO section, you can now flash International ROMs along with a specific few kernels, or any kernel of your choice and a flashable patch for the call audio fix.

I know the VR isn't guaranteed to work with rooted phones, but I'm on a stock deodexed lollipop rom with xposed enabled and the gear VR does not split into side by side mode when plugged into the gear VR.

Any idea what the issue could be? Again, stock rom, just deodexed, with xposed.

[Samsung Gear VR] rushless:
Is the issue rooted phones, or custom roms? Seems just rooting should not impact anything. Rooted with stock rom should be no problem.
[Samsung Gear VR] Cuppeerr:
It's not the root that does it, as explained earlier something happens within the kernel that impacts VR mode. I'm on a stock deodexed and I thought I had a faulty unit before I flashed the emotion kernel:p

[Asus Padfone X and S] Mann Child:
On so just got my padfone x yesterday... today swapped out the boot animation from the stock at&t one. Everything worked fine until I resized it.. stays on Asus logo now. However I can get to recovery mode... any help would be much appreciated. I don't want to factory reset unless I have to. Got tons of pics of my kids I transfered over and don't have any backups.

Is there anyway to push stock boot animation into device?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kmodek:
I followed instructions to root it and its rooted, but have never been able to get Cyanogenmod to Install (I always get the same error everyone else does), and when I try to check out different ROMS, no one even posts many pics to show what the difference will be to use that ROM.

My phone looks the same as before and I'm just using ADW launcher to set it up the way I want it to look.

So how can I tell exactly what point of rooting my phone has reached? Do I actually have a different ROM, etc? I don't know much about this stuff and I'm not bricking my phone messing around with it until I know exactly where to start.

What custom recovery and bootloader are currently loaded on the phone?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Alexandre-P:
Hi!

Go to your phone's System Settings --> About phone.

In there, you should be able to figure out which Android version is currently installed on your phone; if you have a custom ROM, most of the time ROMs developers will also add an additional line somewhere on that screen to tell exactly what revision of their ROM is installed. If not, you may be able to grab some more information by checking your build number or your kernel revision.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] havok6669:
If you tap a few times on where it says Android Version, under Settings>More>About Device , it usually does a little animation of the rom version. Im trying to decide on a rom so mine is kit kat 4.2.2 at the moment and dislpays an Android logo in the Kit Kat logo style.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
Since the bootloader version is not displayed on the About Phone page, you will need to determine that with another method. A simple way would be with the Samsung Info app from the PlayStore, the one posted by vndnguyen.

I personally use Terminal Emulator commands to determine phone info.

getprop ro.bootloader
getprop | grep version.baseband
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kmodek:
I got the app from the Play store and it shows I'm on 4.4.2, but that the Knox has been tripped (I know it's rooted because I have an app that verifies root), but other than that, I can't tell any difference from how it was originally.

Guess I just thought rooting it would make it look a lot different and after reading through all of the forums, there seems to be 100 steps just to try out one new ROM and I don't even know what you do if you get it and decide you don't even like it. I just don't want to brick my phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] havok6669:
i was watching youtube videos of reviews of the different custom ROMs gave a good idea on the features and layout of each rom. I as well am having difficulty deciding on a ROM to flash as this is my first smart phone and am new to it. ive been reading and watching a bunch of tutorials but finding information on whats currently stable for our particular phone can be somewhat dated. i know moderators want to avoid a "best roms" thread but for those of us just starting out with a rooted phone it sure would be handy to have opinions on what ppl use for the SGH-I747 and why, so its easier to decide on one.

is it reccommended to upgrade or downgrade? in order to compare ROMs its watching a video for 15 min to see what features it had at the time the vid was made and reading the developer forums on each mod to see what bugs are present in the current release but its not all compiled anywhere. its that or randomly flash ROMs on there to test them out and risk making mistakes. its usually always better to have advice from those with expertise and perhaps avoid making commonly made mistakes. ive read a bunch of helpful and handy guides on here but doesnt seem any way to easily compare roms or get feedback on what users have decided on sticking with or anything additional specific to this phone that should be considered before flashing certain ROMs.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrrocketdog:
this thread may help to explain some badic things.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2343223

my advice , for what its worth ...

1) READ READ READ

2) make a backup of your current setup so you have it to fall back on.

3) NEVER downgrade your bootloader , flash any ROM/kernel not meant for your device (sure way to brick it).

theres always risk when flashing anything , but the risks can be minimized by understanding what your doing , or rather the process.

as far as flashing roms , its pretty simple once you understand it (as with most things. lol). reading thru a ROMs thread will give a general idea of any features , issues that the users have. the OP , first post ; will tell you alot about the ROM/features.

good luck and happy flashing.!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
The act of rooting does not outwardly change the look and feel of a ROM in any way. It's what you do after rooting that makes the difference.

Some like the Stock Rom of a device and/or do not want to lose some of its unique features. These people will root but not flash a custom ROM.

I've had two android phones and one tablet. Initially I root a new device but leave it on the stock ROM. At that time I will use an app that requires root to freeze any of the pre-installed apps that I don't use (My definition of bloat.) I don't remove/delete them at the beginning. If freezing them breaks some other functionality I want that app still on the device so that I can unfreeze it and make everything work again. Both of my phones have been Samsungs, a SGS Captivate and a SGS3. After a while on rooted stock I have changed to custom ROMs on each. The Captivate went from stock to CyanogenMod to a CM derived ROM. The SGS3 went from stock to a re-themed, custom ROM based on stock but with much removed (carrier bloat) and some other functions added. I expect to soon change to a later version of the same ROM with even more removed. Others want to have a ROM with every bell and whistle possible to have present. It's all individual preference.

There are so many variations on what is possible that a compilation thread to cover all situations would seem as huge as wikipedia. Your approach, reviewing videos and checking rom OPs, has merit but it also has limitations. Unfortunately some of the devs give you almost no information about the features and customizations of their ROMs. Others will simply state that they have made a change or two to some base, expecting you to be familiar with the base. Which means a lot of more reading/reviewing for a person new to customizing their phone.

To advise any one questioner on what can be installed on their phone a responder must first know what bootloader and modem is on the device, are you already rooted, do you have a custom recovery installed yet, are you willing to risk breaking your warranty; the list goes on. Then the hard part comes - they have to recommend something that is in the realm of what you are expecting, even if you do not know what you are expecting.

well i made sure i learned a bunch before even attempting to ask a question so i got as much as possible prepared i'll try to provide the best information i can. my phone is rooted with superuser su2.0 i have cwm 6.0.1.2 installed, ive done a cwm nandroid backup which i copied to my pc as well as a backup of my efs folder and done a titanium backup as well. i have odin 3.07 on my pc and am currently running kitkat 4.4.2 on my sgh-i747m (sasktel version) currently trying to figure out how to determine the modem and bootloader versions . i followed the galaxys3root.com guide galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s3-on-android-4-34-4-2-new and the highonandroid youtube vid in order to root my phone and made sure i read re read and was very cautious to follow instructions to the letter also read some worst case scenario information first like how to cause a phone to become bricked and how to fix it should it happen etc so before ive done anything else ive made sure to back everything up and ask a few more questions befor ei take the final plunge :] as for what ROM would tickle my tailfeathers was liking how carbon looked but it seems it hasnt been maintained :[ something good on battery life that runs fast n stable and is has a bunch of customization features is what i was hoping for. the main reason i decided to root my phone was to learn more about it and customize my os away from the stock look and feel and unlock some of the potential it has that a stock rom would otherwise neglect. the more i learn the sooner i can help by giving back to the community :]
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dawgdoc:
CWM 6.0.1.2 is a bit dated, their latest version is 6.0.4.7 and even it is a bit dated. You may find that to flash a current ROM you will need to update CWM. For some of the newer ROMs even 6.0.4.7 is not current enough. You will need to change to Philz Recovery, based on CWM, or TWRP. Bear in mind that if you change to TWRP you will not be able to use your CWM nandroid. I don't know if the same applies to Philz Recovery.

https://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager

https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2lte/ (page is down at the moment)

http://teamw.in/devices/samsunggalaxys3canada.html (d2can TWRP, though I think you can use d2att, check before using d2att)

There is definitely a newer version of SuperSu (by Chainfire) available. It went through a lot of development to handle issues related to Knox that came out with Touchwiz 4.3. SuperSu is now up to 2.49 and I would recommend upgrading it no matter what ROM you should end up choosing. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 There is a zip you can flash from you current CWM there.

It's not a bad idea to have several fallbacks for imei/nvdata. Give this tread a look: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1852255&highlight=synergy+nvbackup I used the reboot nvbackup from there and EFS Backup developed by wanam

Sasktel has released 4 versions of Android 4.4.2, each with a different bootloader and modem. Any should be fine no matter what ROM you choose, even a Lollipop based ROM. But to check you can get Phone Info - Samsung by vndnguyen from the Playstore. Or you could use a pair of commands in Terminal Emulator

getprop ro.bootloader
getprop | grep version.baseband

You could either go straight a Lollipop based ROM or start with a KitKat ROM. The KK ROM would probably be a bit more stable, although some of the nightly 5.1.1 LP ROMs are looking good according to many of the people installing the nightly versions. If you want something already customized with options for your choosing look to CM and its derivatives or one of the AOSP roms that are already tricked out. The other direction would be to install the most barebones AOSP ROM you could find and use XPosed with the GravityBox or Wanam module to tweak just about everything, but not both at the same time.
