No the firmware I flashed changed the value of my bootloader & gave me bootloop but yeah even with bootloop I was able to flash my kernel and twrp. I flashed the twrp for the permission fix selection and advanced wipe.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] steve97ta:
No bootloop for me but I updated no problem
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] seanvree:
So if we are already on DOI1 firmware, rooted with TWRP, is there any benefit to install these "tmobile" editions? Is your version 13 recovery different from TWRPs offical G920T recovery? Can we flash version 13 on the G920T?

I'm currently using [G920/5 ○ 5.1.1 ○ 11OCT] XtreStoLite Deo-Mod Edition 2.4 [480MB ○ COI9] international ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] The Kid Cassidy:
Ok so I just got a replacement 925T and it's on D0l1 right out the box. How or what do I need to flash in Odin to get root with twrp? Or is it not possible yet? Skimming through the last few pages here shows me no concrete info.

Stock is no fun...I wanna play!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] The Sickness:
Unikernel is the root method. Use Flashify for TWRP
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] The Sickness:
See....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] The Kid Cassidy:
Just latest twrp?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] The Sickness:
Yes. https://dl.twrp.me/zeroflte/

If you want to Odin instead
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] seanvree:
I don't get it... What's diff from the recovery on the OP then then the official TWRP recovery?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bigbiff:
Unfortunately you will just have to try and if it doesn't work we can work together to update TWRP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] The Sickness:
The latest version works bro....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] The Kid Cassidy:
Hey sickness, was just about to flash the kernel but read somebody saying after they flashed it they cannot successfully Odin back to the newest firmware and get phone to boot without reflashing the custom kernel?

Know anything about this?

I just wanna know I can get back to stock incase I decided to jump to the nexus...haven't decided yet but I want the option without being stuck on a custom system for return.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] The Sickness:
Haven't heard that....

When you odin back to stock it flashes the stock boot.img. Don't see any issues regarding that.

If, and i say if you get stuck let me know. I can get you out of it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] pumacat311:
So I recently odin back to of6 and installed philz recovery. I was unaware that philz would cause problems. My question is this. I don't have access to a computer to do any more odin for at least a few days. Everything originally worked fine but if I enter philz and exit it seems to be the cause. Is there a flashable twrp recovery file I can use?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] The Sickness:
Just use Flashify from the Play Store to get TWRP
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] pumacat311:
The phone won't boot past the galaxy s6 edge screen so I can only flash through philz recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] The Sickness:
So you can't restore your backup?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] pumacat311:
i restored the backup and it didn't work. But i was actually able to get the phone back up and running last night by installing car rom and the proper kernel through philz. i like philz better anyway so in glad it worked

Is your bootloader unlocked in Developer settings?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] The Kid Cassidy:
I never went in DS and unlocked it so i'm gonna say no.

I had no clue about that only just seen people talking about it searching for answers here....

That is something new to me as never on any phone had you ever needed to do that and I have been rooting phones since the D1. Hell it wasn't even an option on my S6 edge that I just sent back with broke screen? had it rooted since release date in beginning of the year.

Also, I don't wanna clog up this thread with my issue....let's jump over to the thread I created in the link I posted...... reply to me there.

Would probably need a kernel with a patch to fix call audio like in 5.0.2 but I don't think anybody has tried it yet
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] vince2398:
I thought the Unikernel v2 has the fix. I was going to try CarHDRom v3.3 to see if it works. Have you or anyone tried this? THanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] NexVision:
Recovery working good here. SM-G925T
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] vince2398:
Are you aware of any issues with flashing CarHDRom 3.3 after taking the TMO OTA to 5.1.1? I got TWRP and root on stock running fine right now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] NexVision:
I was having the slowdown problems on CarHD which is why I switched off. You can try it out though and see. I would wait as he did mention he was going to update the base to 5.1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] vince2398:
Which int'l ROM is working well for you?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] NexVision:
After use all of them suffered the slowdowns. I actually used smart switch and disaster recovery to go to 5.1 and rooted and de-bloated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] sarni84:
Ok so in v9 we can do a proper exit of twrp if we used the "it works tar" to flash root via odin???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] jlavoie:
I would suggest THIS as stated in option 1a of the op.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
For #2, you'll need to flash the auto-rooting S6 UniKernel. The kernel I've made currently will still cause boot loops. I've updated the OP to make sure it's clear. Thanks!

Oh, and if the auto-root works correctly, you shouldn't need SuperSU 2.49, but it couldn't hurt to flash it anyway.

Edit: and, in case you've already caused the bootloop, it's no big deal: you can just flash that UniKernel after-the fact and it'll fix the bootloop.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
Another quick update:

I narrowed down what's causing the bootloop, or at least part of it. In the OF6 kernel, fstab.samsungexynos7420 and fstab.samsungexynos7420.fwup mount /system with some extra flags: support_scfs,verify

By removing the verify flag, the device gets past the first bootloop. However, unfortunately, it has some sort of panic or something, and it reboots later in the boot process. It vibrates several time, sticks on the T-Mobile screen, and then eventually reboots. I'm trying to retrieve some sort of log, but I'm having difficulty. Perhaps I should just upload this version, have someone try it, and they can tell me what's going wrong? :P

Edit: Oh! I remember this behavior! This is what happened when we tried flashing SuperSU 2.49 on the leaked 5.1.1 rom ... I think I have some ideas!

Edit2: Yeah, it was the root. I went back to stock, flashed TWRP and flashed my v2 kernel (without the verify flag) and it's booting just fine - even after booting TWRP and exiting correctly.

Now, it's just a matter of building a kernel that allows root...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] NexVision:
You da man keep up the good work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] flipper2006:
Still having problems.. Let me explain exactly what im doing so you can say exactly what im doing wrong.

I;m using 5.11 that was installed 2 weeks ago when it was released. I Odin'ed 2.8.7.1 tar. (success)

Now the phone will reboot into android without any problem. Then i power off, home/up/power to go to recovery. It shows the recovery message in red but then the phone just flickers but never gets to TWRP. So i can't proceed to load the kernel...

I tried to rebooting right to recovery after flashing 2.8.7.1 but same result. Not sure what to do or what is wrong.

Edit: I loaded the kernel from Odin and it's working and with SU but i dont know why it wouldnt boot into recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] NexVision:
2.8.7.1 Will cause issues on G925T what model do you have? If G925T grab version 9 from first post uncheck reboot and flash via odin. Then try booting to recovery via 3 button combo.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] flipper2006:
Yes, it's a 925T - I'll try the v9
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
Let us know how it goes. The recovery (both v7 and v9) should both boot fine on the G925T, but the 2.8.7.1 that was released for the zeroflte will hang when trying to boot it.

Don't forget to look over the boot-loop stuff in the first post. I'm also going to post my kernel v2 shortly, which will work with TWRP just fine, but doesn't work with root so much.

Edit: v2 is posted in the OP now. Still working on v3. I'm trying to just add the same auto-rooting that they are doing in the UniKernel (without the performance tweaks, and with proper drivers for our device...). Unfortunately, I think the kernel is too big? It won't flash.

Edit2: Well, it (the ramdisk) definitely was too big to flash on this device. I removed the SuperSU.apk (it's 5.9mb, holy crap!), and the part that injects it. Unfortunately, it still doesn't work with the root injection and root-on-boot. :( I've tried removing the Samsung Root Restriction Feature, but I can't get the kernel to compile without it. I think that might be what's causing the issue, but unsure. Still studying the source for the UniKernel to see what they did to get around this (if applicable).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] flipper2006:
V9 worked correctly..all along i thought it was something i wasn't doing correctly :) I didnt try your kernel v2 yet.. sleep time..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
Good to hear!

An update on the v3 kernel... it's working! Root and all. It was a matter of setting selinux to permissive in the build.prop

AND

tweaking the kernel to allow this. I'm narrowing down the changes now, so that I can minimize and document the changes needed to get it to work.

Edit: looks like it might be a one-liner change in the kernel. The UniKernel guys went through and made a TON of changes to avoid this, when they were overlooking the root cause of the problem (a simple configuration change in a Makefile somewhere). Trying this now...

Edit2: For some inexplicable reason, it ignores the configuration change, which might explain why they had to manually go through and make all those edits, forcing the results as if the configuration change had been made. Frustrating.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
Some significant updates to the OP, with a release of v3 of the kernel. It's now as easy as 1,2,3!

1) flash TWRP

2) flash the v3 kernel

3) flash SuperSU

Only one thing left to work on, and that's re-building TWRP to force the Read-Only mode by default for System ( easily possible to disable from within TWRP), regardless whether it detects it's been written to previously or not. This might be a nuisance for some, but it's an excellent failsafe to avoid it making bootloops.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] azsgolf:
Excellent work! Running v3 kernel now. Was already rooted. No issues so far.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
Thanks for confirming!

Also, I've added v10 of TWRP to replace v7 (leaving v9 for those who want the bleeding-edge 2.8.7.1 that's not technically designed for this device). It checks the box for "mount system as read-only" by default, which will help prevent boot-loops.

ADB is still not working right, but I'll revisit that one later. For now, it's long past time for bed!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ketwi15:
Same here no deep sleep with v3 either
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
Can you either point me to where I could download that, or upload it somewhere? I'd like to take a look to see what code is being changed, and I can flip through the OF6 source to see if it's already included or not.

That's very likely the case - the UniKernel uses several different drivers than the OF6 source does, so it's possible the temperature drivers are somehow different and reads the values differently.

Perhaps it's because I'm offering too much information? (is there such a thing?) Perhaps people are scared that they'll boot-loop their device? I just want to be sure that people know what will happen if they do things wrong. *shrug*

That is really strange - it is indeed not going into deep sleep at all.

--------------

Okay, I see a few different tweaks that the UniKernel guys are doing for deep sleep and CPU usage, but one really, really sticks out: "Deep Sleep fix". I looked, and the OF6 code looks like it could benefit from this patch.

There are a couple other patches they do with CPU freq: one that makes the CPU switch modes faster

and one that drops the minimum CPU from 400Mhz to 200Mhz.

What do you guys think? Apply the Deep Sleep fix to the OF6 kernel and rebuild it as a #4? At this point, I will continue to provide kernel builds 1 -> 3, simply because they all still have use. In the past, I've always liked the option of a "completely unmodified" kernel/system - in case I want to flash .zip fixes here and there. So, I'll continue to keep the other ones around, if only for this reason.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
Oh Ok other people say theirs is going into deep sleep, I have tried reflashing, clearing out cache/fixing permissions etc etc and it won't go into deep sleep, the unified does go into deep sleep

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] tylerholbrook:
Weird. I get deep sleep. However I did flash the deep sleep fix on simple kernel then flashed v3. Though I would think the values would be overridden flashing a different kernel. You find the deep sleep fix or you want me to send you it [MENTION=1124755]Aou[/MENTION]?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
Actually, if this is the fix you flashed, then the change will be permanent until you wipe/re-flash your System partition. Could easily explain why you're getting Deep Sleep and the others are not.

It does look like that .zip (actually located here, as Chainfire points out) will indeed work on v3 of this kernel. I'll see if I can just bake the fix into v4, as this is something that I would think anyone would want in their kernel.

v4 done building, testing now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
Okay, v4 is uploaded. It's working as well as v3 so far, but I haven't tested the Deep Sleep yet. I really need to get that app... CPU Spy, eh? I'll try it.

I've also just added a TWRP-flashable version of the kernel, in case people would rather flash it that way (instead of going into Odin a 2nd time). Additionally, I uploaded just the raw .img's of each, so those who already have root can use Flashify.
