What was mentioned on this previous post

A-ha!<br />

http://newsroom.t-mobile.com/issues-insights-blog/advanced-messaging-blog.htm<br />

<br />

All of these features are live in the stock messaging app in this leak.<br />

Also in contacts if you tap on yourself, you can set your own display picture and status that everyone will automatically get when they add your phone number to their contacts.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] czerdrill:
Were you rooted on 5.0.2? Are you still rooted after the above method?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] luisrcastillo:
Never rooted. I updated from 5.1.1, not 5.0.2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] raw2000j:
Is the native video calling present in the official update?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] luisrcastillo:
Nope. They removed that too
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] raw2000j:
Dam idiots

---------- Post added at 07:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 AM ----------

Ill stick to the leak
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] PanchoPlanet:
Can you explain "native video" ?

Pp. ???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] clinthess:
So I clean installed COF8 via Odin, then reinstalled recovery and unikernel.

Coming from DOF8, I don't notice much difference aside for the chat settings and the native video being gone. I have noticed the battery is better and my celll standby didn't seem to be a huge issue any more.

Does the video and chat even work unless you're chatting with someone on the same leak? I saw little benefit.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ballu84:
The phones finally running smooth. OF6 sucked
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] raw2000j:
My wife has the edge as well and native video calling works but if you call someone else it wont work has to jave it on their phone and since these idiots removed it guess it wont work unless u do it to other phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gunslingerfry:
Very much agree. It still has some weird things going on but at least they gave us 900MB of RAM for Android to actually work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ThugEsquire:
Anyone have an ODIN-flashable version of this DOF8? COF8 is not as good
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Malnilion:
It's a leaked OTA update, so no Odin flashable version will probably ever be available. But pretty much all you have to do is flash the previous OF6 Odin image and then boot to recovery and sideload this using adb. It takes like 2 minutes extra assuming you already have all the software.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ballu84:
Can i just sideload this on cof8?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ballu84:
Just tried sideloading it on Cof8 and I get an error on the computer half way and phone reboots. Please help
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Malnilion:
You'd have to install this over OF6.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ballu84:
nvm..figured it out...thx^
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ballu84:
Cell standy and android system causing major drain on this leak. Any solutions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ThugEsquire:
This is the best, fastest possible build I've found for this phone. The RAM management isn't overly aggressive, everything's pretty fast, multitasking seems to actually work, and there seems to be virtually no lag. The official COF8 sucks compared to this one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] frr1:
Did you downgrade the offical OF8 to the leak or just install the leak over it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ballu84:
Downgrade to official OF6 and then flash update.zip via adb
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ThugEsquire:
Not sure what you mean, m8. I installed everything as is required to be installed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] frr1:
I meant did you install the leak over the official OF8 update ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ballu84:
You can't do that. It'll give you an error. You have to Odin to OF6 and then flash over
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] robogoflow:
Any ideas if they are working on a newer update... This phone makes my s4 feel better. The leak was so much better than now. Why did they go and mess things up?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ThugEsquire:
This.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] meraz9000:
New leak coming soon :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] robogoflow:
I don't know you but im starting to love you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
Woot woot can't wait
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] PanchoPlanet:
Soon passed already.

Pp. :o
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] meraz9000:
I think they got tired of my leaks. if you flash this build you wont be able to downgrade lol. Now im stuck with a crazy phone :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ballu84:
Define crazy :P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
Lmfaoooooo explain ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ktetreault14:
Wait what
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] rfgarza8:
Will this be the Korean firmware update? Will it include Samsung Pay?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
His leaks are from tmobile is not going 5o be a Korean firmware lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gdmlaz:
So how bad was the leak ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] robogoflow:
According to multiple sites. T-Mobile is releasing an update next week to activate native video calling. They just released it today to the new note 5 and edge+. Sprint latest update was the HO1 (or something like that) that has the new edge features and app icons so I'm thinking tmobile is going to release that update next week.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] cyberone24:
Native video calls.. Go figure..

Hopefully is true, would love to video call my lover. .. I mean my friends.. Hehehe
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] frr1:
Where can i download the OF8 leak at is there a link?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
Yeah, I figured. The patch does patch the bootloader, the kernel, the modem, and the system... mostly just a bunch of apps in the system.

I've stripped everything out except the system, and I'm going to try to patch OF6 -> OF8. I'll then snag that new official System and zip it up for ROM-flashing use. Hopefully it'll stay "pure".
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
(this thing is driving me insane)

So many errors! Can't update (via twrp) !
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Malnilion:
So would this update be sideloadable on the default recovery assuming we're completely stock?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
Possibly, there's the possibility of never going back. It does patch the bootloader, which could be permanent. And, if this never becomes an official release, the next patch will NOT be looking for an OF8 bootloader to patch up, and will fail.

Some risk. Some.

Also, !@#$ing progress indicators....

Edit: Okay, some progress, i got it to patch, finally:

Now I just need to do it all over again, try to keep it "official" and see if I can pack it up for you guys.

Edit2: Might be realy late tomorrow, or tomorrow night before I get it uploaded. Sorry, guys. I'm gonna go play tabletop games with family and friends. ^_^
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] meraz9000:
I 'll add to the OP that you can sideload this file via the original recovery. IT IS POSSIBLE TO DOWNGRADE TO CF6 5.1.1 no problem I confirmed it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ThugEsquire:
I ran this on a completely stock OF6 and it worked. I can't see any difference. Camera RAW is not there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] mikeyinid:
[MENTION=4287865]Sunderwear[/MENTION], did you happen to try going back to 5.0.2 from OF8? I've seen stranger things happen than leaked fw allowing that kind of stuff...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] frr1:
How's the ram and multitasking is it fixed?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
Yeah, I'm not going to bother with OF8 at this time. I tried running it with OF6 kernel/bootloader/radio, and it did some strange things to some of my apps.

I'll hold off on this one until it's official. I couldn't see any realistic benefit to running the OF8 versus a perfectly-working OF6 build. The new "Samsung Plus" app is just more junk, too.

If RAW support was added to the stock camera, that would change my mind.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] frr1:
Is the ram issue and multitasking fixed in OF8?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Malnilion:
Probably not, but I don't know that it will be for any S6 before Android M comes out. If you can't stand things the way they are now, you might want to bail on this phone.

---------- Post added at 12:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 AM ----------

Huh, that's interesting, I haven't had any issues on OF8 so far. What kinds of issues were you having? (I'm actually on the new bootloader and baseband as well).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Malnilion:
Interestingly, LTE video calling is now enabled and probably actually functional on this ROM. I'm not sure if I have anyone I can test it with, though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ktetreault14:
On a tmo rom? Nice. Any way someone could get me the modem stuff?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
The "quick connect" on the pulldown menu was missing an icon. S-Health refused to work altogether. Several force-closes all over the place. It's possible flashing the bootloader/kernel/modem may have resolved these, but I didn't bother going too far with it. Since people are reporting that OF6-Odin is working fine, I might try it when I have more spare time. That TWRP stuff ate up all my free time for the next couple weeks (wife+baby aggro now, hehe).

For a moment there, I read this as VoLTE, and I was thinking, "wtf? voice-over-LTE has always worked for me..." ... then I realized that I'm an idiot. ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] RockoDev:
[MENTION=4287865]Sunderwear[/MENTION] have your ran into these issues this gentleman has mentioned?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] zigflite100:
The RAM issues are resolved. Try it. I guarantee you're in for a nice treat.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Malnilion:
I can't speak for Sunderwear, but I have none of the issues he was describing. No force closes at all, no missing icons for quick connect, and S Health appears to be working just like it's supposed to be. It's completely stable as far as I'm concerned so far. Now, aside from a couple things like Samsung+ and LTE video calling I'm not sure I could precisely point out much else that has changed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] frr1:
Is the ram issue finally really fixed ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Malnilion:
I'm not running completely stock. I'm running this with unikernel, so there's a chance my experience might be somewhat different. That said, it usually has been taking me a couple days while booted before I start noticing issues, so it might be a couple days before I can really say for sure. So far so good, though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] frr1:
Are you being serious ?!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] zigflite100:
Yes, I'm serious.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] PanchoPlanet:
There was mention in the tmobile forums that this update would address the memory issue.

I guess Samsung resolved the issue.

Pp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Master Ramy:
So the memory issue is fixed? Please detail your multitasking or memory details that lead to that conclusion. Not questioning your words, just trying to see what evidence you are seeing of that change.

Also, I am currently on the official F6, havent odined my phone yet for fear of messing up something with Samsung Pay later on. If I was to go to this update, and need to go back down to F6 later on, would that result in tripping knox or causing any potential issues with my device, or would it simply be considered a regular update as far as samsung and tmobile and samsung pay are concerned?

Thanks for the clarification!

~ Master Ramy
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] meraz9000:
A lot more stable for me. Ram performance seems to be fixed. [MENTION=1124755]Aou[/MENTION] he had all those issues because he didnt update the full firmware.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] meraz9000:
This is a 100% samsung signed official file. your warranty will not be void and yes you can downgrade back to F6
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Malnilion:
Has anyone been able to get Viper 4 Android to work on this? Mine is showing driver installed, neon enabled, status normal, but when I play music it isn't processing. I didn't try it on OF6, so I can't tell if it's just not working on 5.1.1 in general.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] meraz9000:
i highly doubt it been updated for 5.1.1..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] frr1:
That's sounds great!

But if Samsung and T-Mobile fixed all the issues then why don't they drop OF6 and make this new one the official since it fixed all our problems with the phone! That makes more sense!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
Good question! But to build custom kernels (to allow root), we'll need the source. Has anyone tried a custom kernel (e.g. my OF6 v4 kernel, or the S6 UniKernel) with the OF8 ROM/System yet?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] uofmike:
Semi-noob question. I haven't had to use ADB before. Can I just Odin this file?

If not, once putting ADB/Fastboot on my computer do I manually go into the bootloader on my phone and have ADB looking at the folder the file is in and type "adb sideload file_name.zip" and that's it?

I assume since this is an official Samsung build, stock kernel, etc it doesn't do anything to tick Knox and if I want to go back down to OF6 I just download the OF6 zip and I can Odin/ADB back to that?

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Malnilion:
Unikernel works just fine as far as I can tell. I'd assume yours would as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
Can't just Odin this - it's an OTA update, and it will only flash using the stock recovery, via ADB sideload.

A warning to others: I tried using an outdated version of ADB, and not only did it NOT work, but it caused dm_verity to fail (actually gave an error in 3e about it), and caused a bootloop. Tried this twice before realizing how much of an idiot I was. :P

I don't know if that'll happen to everyone, but I highly recommend verifying your version of ADB before attempting the sideload (using adb version). Make sure it's using v1.0.32.

But, otherwise, flashing stock -> stock -> stock should always keep KNOX intact, regardless of version. But don't always take this to the bank. There's a theoretical situation that could have happened here:

- Official OF6 releases

- OF8 leaks, requires OF6 to update

- OF8 increments the bootloader SYSMAGIC to "3"

- You can't Odin back to OF6

- OF8 never actually releases to public

- New version (let's call it OF9) releases to public

- OF9 has SYSMAGIC002

- OF9 requires OF6 to update

- You're stuck on OF8, and OF9 refuses to install.

In the above situation, you'd be stuck on OF8 until a new full-odin released that had SYSMAGIC003 or greater.

Now, that's NOT the case this time around, but it could happen in the future. So be cautious.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] uofmike:
I appreciate the info. My other part of my question was:

As far as using ADB goes, once I have download the lastest version of ADB do I manually go into the recovery on my phone and then on my computer point to the folder that the file is in with ADB and type "adb sideload file_name.zip" to use it? Is that it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
Yeah, that's basically it.

I would do a couple things first:

1) make sure that, at the command prompt, that you're actually in the correct directory.

2) double-check the version by typing "adb version"

3) while the phone is booted normally, use "adb shell" to obtain a shell on the device. Should see something like "user@zerftetmo... $" or whatever. Use "exit" to leave.

The above (especially #3) will make sure that your adb is working properly before even attempting the sideload.

As for going into recovery, you'll need to select the option for sideload via ADB (use volume buttons to navigate, power button to select). After a brief delay (1-2sec), you'll only have like 10-15 seconds to start the sideload on the computer, else the phone gives up trying to receive the file.

And, well, yeah, that's it. Don't interrupt it, for sure.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] jmerlos:
SELinux mode has to be set to permissive for it to work, have root and busybox installed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Malnilion:
Yup, I knew that much. I think I've got it working now, actually. I had to flash the installer zip for some reason (i.e. installing the apk as a user app didn't work). There's a thread over in the Galaxy S6 themes and apps subforum that I got the file from.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
Indeed. After taking the FULL patch and then replacing the kernel/recovery, it seems much more stable than trying to flash only the ROM/System. Probably something in the bootloader... or I just screwed something up royally with my attempt. ^_^

Anywho, I am working on trying to create an unofficial Odin for OF8... just for fun.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] luisrcastillo:
RAM management seems a lot better and overall performance too. Thanks for sharing!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
Indeed, it seems snappier.

Anyone know how to combine a TWRP system backup into a system.img? >_< Dunno if that's even possible while maintaining the integrity of it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] RockoDev:
Is the OP zip working for you guys I get error: closed
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] luisrcastillo:
You need to boot into recovery first. In recovery, select the option to apply update via ADB. You will then see the message at the bottom of the screen telling you to send the "ADB sideload update.zip" command
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] RockoDev:
That's when ADB gives me error "closed' and locks my recovery
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] mikeyinid:
Can you post the build.prop and boot.img for me? If they fixed memory issues I wanna see what they did. Thanks man
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] RockoDev:
I believe my issue might be related to using Odin to update to 5.1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] RockoDev:
ok i figured it out.. it was ODIN that was messing with my recovery that was causing it to lock.

i reset it using Smart Switch and it worked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] mikeyinid:
Anyone able to post the boot.img and build.prop?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] meraz9000:
eh i dont have the phone anymore..gave it back to a customer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] whittikins:
Here's the build.prop from /system.

Where is boot.img, and can I get that without rooting?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] mikeyinid:
Thank you! No, you can't get the boot without at least having recovery
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
I have the boot.img. Actually, I have all the partitions - even the patched e3 recovery. I'm just trying to get them bundled up into an Odin-flashable. But I suppose I could upload the boot.img separately if you'd like...

Edit: I'm stuck on trying to get system.img flashable. And modem. But otherwise, I have an Odin tar that does the bootloaders, kernel, and recovery...

And the system.img I have is a dd dump of the system, unmodified. I'm hoping to create something that would theoretically not trip KNOX.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] mikeyinid:
Can you give me the srevices.jar and the odex files in /system/framework/arm and arm64?

If they did indeed fix memory management it's in there. I'd really like to see what they've done.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
Bah, looks like it's "near-impossible" to convert a system dump into a signed odin-flashable these days, according to these guys. Using the latest test version of TWRP (which includes doing R/O backups/restores of the System partition without modifying it), I've got a successful backup that I can restore while keeping the integrity of it. I suppose I could just zip that up and hand it to people to play with, if they want it.

I just used Root Explorer to zip up the .jar, and each of the two folders completely, and then tarballed that and uploaded it here.

As for the patched boot.img, I just created an odin-flashable (for anyone else that wants to screw with it, too). It's here.

Anything else I can dump? ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] mikeyinid:
sweet, thank you. I think thats all i need for now. Gonna deodex the services.jar and take a look at the smali, see if i can see what they did different
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] edgarf28:
I'm trying to create an modified update.zip (for KNOX tripped people), which you can flash with TWRP over an COF6 G925T stock ROM.

I've modified the update.zip so that it doesn't flash/patch the sboot.bin, modem.bin, cm.bin, recovery.img & kernel.img.

I will let you guys know in an hour or something if this works.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
Eh, I tried that once, and it didn't end well. But I may have removed too much from the script.

Also, something about the progress indicator lines really screws with TWRP and causes it to fail. I ended up just removing all the progress stuff.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] edgarf28:
Ah thanks for letting me know this.

I did it a few weeks ago also, to patch the AOE3 G920F stock kernel to BOFJ G920F stock kernel (when the full BOFJ G920F firmware wasn't available yet..), and it worked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] mikeyinid:
I'm gonna just odin the system image, they tweaked DHA/memory stuff pretty good in this release. Added a ton of new stuff to services.jar

---------- Post added at 01:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 PM ----------

Have you uploaded the system.img ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ktetreault14:
Something good to get out of work too. Looks like flashing a new rom last night was a waste. :D

---------- Post added at 08:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 PM ----------

Anything different in the new bootloader that I should look out for? Gonna give it a flash along with the modem on a 5.1.1 intl rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] edgarf28:
Okay! Got the modified update.zip working!! :D

I'm running DOF8 ROM right now with latest UniKernel on my G920F :cool:

See attached screenshot.

I can confirm that the memory manager is much better on this firmware indeed.

I Will upload an TWRP backup of the OF8 system partition, so you still have to flash the Odin OF8 stock kernel (see above post from [MENTION=1124755]Aou[/MENTION] for it) or the UniKernel on top of it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] winco209:
I will test out the new zip just let me know
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] mikeyinid:
I edited the updater to only patch the services.jar, then edited build.prop to what they set DHA values. Memory management still sucks so I'm not sure if it did actually patch it or not. I look forward to your zip...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] edgarf28:
Upload of the TWRP /system DOF8 backup is at 50%

~ 30 minutes to go...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] mikeyinid:
Cool. I really didn't wanna do the whole patch, might as well though. I didn't get any errors when I flashed what I did, but it didn't patch the updater script either. So unsure.. Memory management is still awful so I doubt it patched.

Here is a bit of what I found in services.jar, I'd like to introduce everyone to FHA...WA WA WAAAAAA. Looks like they rewrote DHA which is good, at least we know they're working on it...
