Night Clock "different" problem

I'm on 5.1.1 and rooted. I had to disable Knox as best I could to avoid constantly receiving a warning notification. I also had to disable the com.tmobile.pr.adapt... system app to stop overheating and massive power drain. All good.

However, noticed my Night Clock stopped functioning. Yes, and all the settings are correct.

It just doesn't pop on. When I turn the screen on, for a split sec I see the night clock flash on, but that's it.

Anyone have this problem? How about a fix?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] xda23:
Do I just extract the image with es file explorer onto my SD card? Thanks!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] jzero88:
The only way to get root on 5.1.1 right now is with a custom kernel. And flashing any kernel other than 100% stock WILL trip Knox
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ledvedder:
Is there any possible way to go back to a 5.0.2 TWRP backup after updating to this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] sublimaze:
Nope. You cannot roll back to 5.0.2 bootloader.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
The new sboot is doing some sort of check on either boot or system and won't allow 5.0.2 to boot. It's lame.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ledvedder:
What about just odin'ing back to 5.0.2?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
No. Won't happen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] V0latyle:
Battery life on this has been pretty rotten. Anyone else notice the same thing?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
It's not as good as 5.0.2 was, no doubt. I've debloated quite a bit and got it so I only lose ~1% an hour. Acceptable.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ac21365:
It was horrendous right after the update. After a while it's settled out almost back to how it was on 5.0.2. I'm even giving VoLTE another chance now that it's settled out... we'll see how that goes.

As others have said, give it a week or two...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] NJGSII:
I'm on XtreStoLite 2.0 and the battery is pretty good. Yesterday while on LTE at work in a good connection area I was getting surely well under 1% under drain. Gotta install better battery stats to get a better idea.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ledvedder:
Funny thing is, my only real gripe with 5.1.1 is that it doesn't have the hidden "adapt" display mode anymore. I hate the over saturation of adaptive and the yellowed whites of basic. The hidden "adapt" display mode in 5.0.2 was a perfect balance between the two.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mocsab:
there is an XTREStoLite in the S6 Forums that works on our phone. YOur process outlined above is correct. Rom can be found here it is an awesome rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] dnaL0R:
5.1.1 root is still not possible?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] explodingboy70:
Root works, trips knox. Oh and read before asking!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mrbmg:
I still have 0x0000 :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] painedglass:
I thought we didn't have TWRP for the 5.1.1 update. I tried Xstrestolite and it put me in a boot loop until I odined the stock from, then unikernel. Odd thing is, even though I uninstalled a lot of bloat and disabled Knox, my ram usage is horrible.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
FYI, I'm fairly certain the sboot.bin he posted will allow anyone that took the 5.1.1 update to use 5.0.2 ROM's, and downgrade to 5.0.2 via odin...

Yup. You can use those sboot.bin's to downgrade...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mocsab:
give it a few days - it took my phone a while to settle down - running smooth and very nice now - great battery - no hiccups -

You did need to be on 5.1.1 in order to flash that rom - and you also needed to flashed the Unikernel - I believe there are detailed instructions in the Xtrstolite OP that says as much.

Personally I was too was very impatient when I first flashed roms on 5.1.1 - but I stopped worrying about things - gave things time to settle down - and now everything is running very smoothly - to be honest, I think we all obsess a bit on things and expect super performance immediately after flashing roms - patience is a virtue - (at least that is what I am told - I still struggle with having patience, I want what I want when I want it) LOL... good luck, I hope things improve for you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mrbmg:
I was at home and on WiFi-Calling all weekend so had no way to tell, but call audio is gone with it. On WiFi Calling it works, but as soon as you use the network you can make the call but not hear, and they can't hear you. I don't know if that's a kernel issue, or the sboot. Just got back home. Fixing to mess with it a little bit and see what's going on. After flashing the engineered sboot, I flashed Unikernelv3, and downloaded the TWRP app, and flashed recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] painedglass:
So I can flash the sboot.bin in Odin then the stock 5.02 rom, root, and install TWRP?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Yea. I can't speak about Knox since I already tripped it, but you can downgrade.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] painedglass:
So no resetting Knox huh? That sucks, I hope that doesn't mess up Samsung pay when it finally see's the light of day. In your opinion which ROM is best at ram management? I have lots of bloat removed but still hover between 400 to 800 megs of available ram, so the phone stutters a lot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
So, Odining back to 5.0.2 is a no go. But you can go back to 5.0.2 ROM's using that sboot.bin...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] sarnex:
I saw you say here http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-galaxy-s6-edge/general/root-g925t-g920t-5-1-1-tripping-knox-t3149653/post61714346#post61714346 that you won't be able to revert back to the old sboot.bin if you use that method to root to 5.1.1 without tripping knox.Does it matter? Will I notice any differences with the non-default sboot.bin from the stock 5.1.1 update?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
I was asking whether that would be the case, and got no response. So far I can verify 5.0.2 is out of the question. I'm sure going to 5.1.1 will not be an issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] painedglass:
I know we can get root via the unikernel, how can a ROM be installed via recovery when I can't even get TWRP to stop from boot looping. Every time I try it

always ends with a bootloop. I tried the Xstrestolite

ROM with the unikernel built in but the same thing happens, which leaves me scratching my head. I wonder what I'm doing wrong? Can someone who's

got root and recovery on 5.1.1 want to post what order everything is flashed?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] virulentt:
When you flash your recovery, dont let the phone boot into your rom, go to recovery right away
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Or flash the correct recovery. 2.8.7.1 is the one everyone should be using now...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] painedglass:
It boots to recovery on its own, I then proceed to flash a ROM....hello bootloop city.

---------- Post added at 03:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 PM ----------

How's this sound, I'll Odin stock 5.1, then Odin TWRP, then once I'm in TWRP, flash ROM? I ask as this is the order I've been flashing. Correct me if I miss a step. Sorry for all the questions but I've never had issues with flashing recovery or a ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] virulentt:
That's correct! I suggest you XtreStoLite 2.0 Odexed!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] kiko3:
There is new firmware on sammobile COF8
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] painedglass:
Now that we can install TWRP, can other ROM's be flashed aside from xstrestolite?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mocsab:
there are several roms in the International S6 development section that are really quite good - Wanam has a Deodexed rom - but you have to read the thread as there were some initial bugs you have to work thru- don;t know but they might have fixed those - and there is another awesome rom called Anitolia - or something like that - really nice.

You just have to flash a TMO kernel and flash the Call Audio Fix for Internation roms on TMO phones.

Good luck!

Not erveryone has oem-unlock options

Sorry, I do have 5.1.1 and I don't have OEM-lock options.... :crying: What now?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Dr. Fed:
OEM unlock... Seen on US versions, due to new laws in certain states.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Alarand:
Link? Can't seem to find COF8 for g920t anywhere on sammobile, only COF6

---------- Post added at 03:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 AM ----------

I've been wondering... I flashed 5.1.1 bootloader/modem and the international variant xtrestolite. If I want to go to a g920t based rom, will I have to odin stock and disable oem lock first? As the option isn't present in xtrestolite 2.1 afaik

Anyone have any insight?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] jcrutchvt10:
I would ODIN stock, disable OEM lock, flash twrp and the 920t rom of choice.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] MadJoe:
I've tried to update by checking for an OTA, and by using Smart Switch, but it says I'm up to date even though I'm only on 5.0.2 (OCG). Anyone else experiencing this? Since I'm stuck on 5.0.2 I thought about rooting using Ping Pong, but I don't know if I really need to. Any suggestions? Samsung support suggested I take it to a Best Buy and have them manually update it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] serio22:
You can download the firmware and flash it yourself
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tea_dub84:
I can't update either. I'm still on 5.0.2 I've tried checking but it tells me I'm up to date. I would do it manually but I'm lazy :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] MadJoe:
I have considered it, but I'm still curious why it wouldn't update automatically. The phone is still 100% stock, never rooted, and yet it still doesn't see the update. Does anyone have a clue why not? I get that the OTA roll out could be staggered, but using Smart Switch (which sucks compared to Kies, and that really says something) and it still says 5.0.2 is the latest for my device. WTF Samsung?

Anyway, the only reason I've hesitated doing it manually is that I keep thinking 5.0.2 would make it easier if I do decide to root, since I'd rather not trip Knox.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] serio22:
I have no clue why it says 5.0.2 is the latest. But yes it would be easier in a way to keep Knox intact. You can not trip knox with 5.1.1 but you will lose fingerprint functionality
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] MJHawaii:
Can anyone upload to mega and post a link gator and the other are junk
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mocsab:
if you are that concerned about it, call TMO Customer Support. NOt sure why you are having an issue but they might be able to force push an update - or go inot a TMO store and I am sure they would do it for you.

GOOD LUCK

---------- Post added at 10:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 AM ----------

YOU can download the latest firmware from my GOOGLE DRIVE - here: DOWNLOAD
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] MJHawaii:
Thanks Bud
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Benn00:
Recently updated and having a weird issue. While connected to wifi every 20 seconds or so the 4g lte Icon shows up, sends a bit of data then turns off again. Turned off download booster, volte is off, the setting that lets 4g take over for bad wifi is also turned off. It doesn't seem to be using a lot of data but it has gone through 1 or 2 mb in the past few hours.

Anyone else getting this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] modestdave@yahoo.com:
4G popping on even when on Wi Fi

Yes, same exact thing happened to me. Very frustrating. I ended up doing a full data wipe, reinstalled firmware with ODIN, re-rooted. Worked fine after that. I suggest you do the same.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Benn00:
Sounds like a plan, thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] MBuckley81:
I tried to flash the CF Auto Root (which I found out later was 5.0.2 when I was already 5.1.1). I now get the same message: "RECOVERY SEANDROID IS NOT ENFORCING." I am unable to boot my phone into anything other than ODIN Mode. How can I go into dev options at this point? Is that still possible?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] piccit:
No. You'll need to refresh stock via Odin.

Instead of auto root, you'll need to Odin a kernel (or Odin twrp and flash a kernel) that supports root. Unikernel is a solid choice
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] MBuckley81:
I downloaded Unikernel-v8-0002 and installed via Odin. Then got the message the kernel wasn't seandroid enforcing. The phone booted up after some additional installation stuff, but now I don't have a radio/cell signal.

I've looked all over for the engineering bootloader (sboot.bin), but it seems as though everyone in all the guides on the first 3 or 4 pages of google search results all referenced the same file, which Samsung has caused people to remove. Now i'm at a complete loss.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] magoo5289:
Did you flash a rom that doesn't support your carrier?

Did you try resetting APNs? Reflash from stock?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] MBuckley81:
I flashed stock versions for my carrier. At some point, i think i tried to flash a tar.md5 package that was a lower/previous version from what I was running. When my phone wasn't able to use WiFi, i flashed a modem file that was definitely a different version from my build. I finally got it working again, but my build is version COF6, and my baseband/modem is DOJ7. My phone is working (mostly) now, and I finally downloaded the stock DOJ7 firmware for my carrier, but i'm hesitant to flash it because I finally got my phone mostly working.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Ha, I downloaded the other twice, corrupt both times. He verified this one is good.

If you flash only system and boot, providing it boots up, you'll be able to downgrade. Do you know how to delete img's from a tar.md5?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] altimax98:
Weird, maybe you need a Samsung account to be logged in. The option should be in there. Have you tried a search for it in settings?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
I have a bad feeling about peeps that took the OTA. They used the word security in the changelog way to many times...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] freebee269:
i am not signed into my samsung account. i actually have my samsung account app disabled. in download mode my FRP Lock is OFF.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] sublimaze:
That AFH link must be getting hammered like a virgin on prom night. Any mirrors yet?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] LNJ:
There's a find my mobile in Google settings as well. If you enable it, it enables Android Device Manager.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] piccit:
I am signed in, the options look the same (just not greyed out). There is no 'factory reset protection'
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
HAHAHA. I'm downloading from there, the others were corrupt
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] NJGSII:
You'd think I would know better than to take an OTA right on release for how long I have been here. :eek:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] altimax98:
I wonder where it is hiding out at then....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Slicktune:
bump??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Well, I was about to take the OTA til I read the changelog. As soon as I saw no downgrades I changed my mind lol. I'm sure the BL isn't locked but there's something they're missing.

HUH? what does official firmware have to do with cm12??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mocsab:
Does anyone know if this new build can be rooted? Steps?

And does the latest TWRP work for this build?

Just curious...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] NxtGenCowboy:
Please read a few post up.. This has all been covered.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] freebee269:
already discussed in this thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] sublimaze:
Seriously? CM is a long way down the road. Can't you at least try to be happy with a custom rom that IS available?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] NJGSII:
For the moment we can't get TWRP to boot up and PIngPongRoot def doesn't work as I tried that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] piccit:
CF auto root also doesn't work (for the same reason that TWRP doesn't work)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] NJGSII:
Yep doesn't work either.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] freebee269:
TWRP needs to be updated to work with this new bootloader's seandroid. when that happens we'll get root.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] damcyk:
.

after upgrade when i have wifi on every couple minute or secund 4g icon shows up . In 5.0.2 i don't have this issue

I only wipe cache partition
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] NxtGenCowboy:
#TWRP on Freenode if you'd like to talk to the devs
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
I'm odining system and boot now, if it actually boots I'll post an odin and zip for you guys.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] NJGSII:
That's what it must be I guess. Still gave the same message even though I selected to unlock the bootloader in developer settings.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Dr. Fed:
hilarious, especially with that voice...wait, you were joking, right? :eek:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] piccit:
To be clear, the option is to "allow the bootloader to be unlocked." According to the internets it allows the 'fastboot oem unlock' command to run. Since our bootloaders are already unlocked, I'm thinking the option has no effect
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] virulentt:
I think this could give some hopes to AT&T's and Verizon's users.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] freebee269:
you are right. except in the case of samsung devices, the bootloader doesnt use fastboot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ipaq_101:
Haha wow, I was so eager to odin and dload the update....I think I will wait until pingpong is figured out and let everything settle a few days.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Dr. Fed:
well, at least the flash turns off completely now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Alarand:
This is some hardcore trolling by samsung. Including unlock bootloader option for people with already "unlocked" bootloaders and likely not including the option for people with locked bootloaders.

Am I missing something? Seems just like an extra toggle that could mess with the process of rooting / customizing for those who already can anyway..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] NJGSII:
Yep it's off now, not dimly lit.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] se1000:
haha, feels like they pushed out a 600MB update to prevent pingpong
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Uploading tar for Odin, only has system boot and cache.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] LGSilva:
So it worked? That means we will be able to downgrade (for whatever reason?) ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Yes, but not if you did a full upgrade, like took the ota or flashed the odin file. This leaves data/bootloader/modem untouched
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] virulentt:
Any advantage flashing the modem over the previous one? Was there known issues with the 5.0.2 modem?

Will it override TWRP?

Also, will it work on the canadian variant?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Yea, it'll flash on any variant since its just system boot and cache. it does overwrite twrp even removing the recovery, im gonna make sure we can still use twrp right now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] virulentt:
Awesome work again! thanks a lot! What would this community be without you ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] aa14:
exactly . that's what I'm noticing .. no memory improvement !!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] virulentt:
If samsung was doing all the work, there wouldn't be any more fun on this forum ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] rramirez942:
Anyone else notice that the battery life has gone to crap? I had disabled VoLTE before the update and that improved my battery life a bit. Now however, my battery life is terrible and VoLTE is still disabled. It says cell standby is the main culprit. I've been off my charger for 5hrs and have 42% left (with moderate use). Cell standby = 21%, Screen= 10%, and Android System = 7%

Any thoughts or fixes?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
did you do a factory reset after updating?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] rramirez942:
No I didn't. I don't want to lose any of my images, files, settings, etc. You think that would help with the battery situation?

Have you noticed a decrease in battery performance?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] virulentt:
Mikey's tar doesn't include the new modem, it may be the cause for you cell standby issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] glcK23:
how can you cry bad battery life so quickly lol, update only been put for a few hours. stop whining
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Prod1702:
thanks for the mirror, I hate how slow the dam sam mobile site is.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Alarand:
I've noticed the cell standby drain comes back occasionally along with other weird drains on 5.0.1. Haven't upgraded yet

Generally I toggle volte off, forget my wifi networks, turn off wifi / location, clear dalvik/cache then turn volte and location on, and finally wifi last. It's hard to tell if it does anything really without monitoring it with a battery analysis app. I did notice my phone radio % usage in gsam drop significantly but it fluctuates anyway

Factory reset could possibly help seen as it's a new FW
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] postmastergeneral:
yeah no this update made my battery life worse and my phone slower. smh
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
So, here's the deal. Flashing this in Odin overwrites twrp. Then if you do flash twrp in Odin, it won't boot. For now anyway. So, just know that if you update using the TAR I provide you can downgrade, but no root or custom recovery.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
I'm working on it. Sorry, I'm at work and busy and trying to get all this stuff going too. There will be a zip.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ThePagel:
You could make a quick twrp installer script that deals with image files instead of directories. That way you can flash the super su update zip after and have the new system, kernel and modem + root and twrp.

Oh, I should make myself a little clearer. I don't mean mikeyinid specifically, he can do that for the general public if he wishes but anyone can do this it's quite easy and the safest way to update. It is useful to update the rpm as well if you are comfortable doing that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] sdfsdfsfs:
shutter speed and raw?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Dr. Fed:
Maybe clear cache in recovery. That seemed to work for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mikeyinid:
Won't work. Root is broken for one thing, and for another when we package system.img for flash in twrp our canadian friends can't flash it because their system partition is smaller.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ThePagel:
From a strictly USA t-mobile standpoint do we need to repackage spars system.img files? Shouldn't you be able to take it straight from the tar ball untouched? Sorry for my ignorance, I have been away for samsung phones since the S3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] sublimaze:
Yeah, I'll wait until the dust settles before flashing anything.

That is why you don't take OTAs if you value root and custom recovery. Give the devs time to check out new firmware.

Custom 5.0.2 roms have been good enough for me so far, waiting another week or so for 5.1.1 won't kill me :silly:

If you do the Samsung Smart Switch to udpate to 5.1.1 can you still downgrade to 5.02 and do root again via Ping Pong and if so how do you downgrade without loosing my data
