[MENTION=1372407]pmichaelro[/MENTION]

Ok, to sum up what I basically want to do. I have a G920T1 32 GB, stock 5.0.2 (G920T1UVU1AOCH_G920T1TMB1AOCH_G920T1UVU1AOCH) rooted with PingPong, SIM unlocked since I am using it in my country (Mexico) with carrier Movistar without any problems (data/cell/Wi-Fi/LTE/SMS).

However, when I travel to the US, since my carrier has a network agreement with T-Mobile US, I should be able to use data/calls without a problem. Problem is, as soon as I am on US territory, my phone is out of service, can't get it to work on T-Mobile network or any other US network in roaming (data/cell roaming active on my phone). Needless to say, I have another phone (S4) and the wife's (iPhone 6), both factory unlocked (bought in manufacturer stores) working in the same carrier (Movistar) and on those phones roaming (data/cell) with T-Mobile US works flawlessly.

If I flash (already did, and reverted back to stock) G920IDVU1AOD1_G920ITFG1AOD1_G920IDVU1AOD6 (G920i firmware for Movistar GS6 in Mexico), I can only flash the system.img and can't update the baseband (stays as G920T1UVU1AOCH), so I have a lot of errors and FC's and the phone literally doesn't work; ODIN can't flash recovery.img, hidden.img and modem.bin (fail error).

I already browsed to exhaustion as to whether G920T1 has unlocked bootloader, and it appears to have it unlocked and as to whether you could flash G920i ROMs on a G920T1, but found nothing concrete or nothing similar to what I have in mind.

So, if I flash engineer bootloader first, will I be able to then flash complete G920i ROM with ODIN if I have the G920i PIT file?

Your phone is blacklisted in US.

ring your provider and ask them to make a check on your phones imei no.

Or check if roaming is activated on your phone.

Where did you buy the phone from?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] yuerekli:
Please send me the bootloader for SM-G920F. Thank you
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] chanok12:
Thanks neebi007, yes I just realized this last night, I looked up in T-Mobile's site and indeed it appears as lost/stolen phone. Roaming is definetely activated in my phone line as I also bought a MotoX Pure directly from BestBuy last week and it is working perfectly in both countries (Movistar in Mexico and T-Mobile in the US while roaming). My carrier recently launched extremely great plans:

$15 USD ($349 MXN) per month for unlimited calls/texts (local and long distance to both fixed and cell lines) and 1 GB (you can increase your quota if you like) with no cost while roaming in US/Canada for calls/data. Plus no contract with own phone; you can ditch them any day. Great, huh? We had a telecom reform enforced last year, where roaming and long distance was voided. Now every phone number in Mexico is considered a local call for both cell/fixed line carriers. Also, this reform, allowed ISP providers to offer cable TV and fixed phone services. Since Jan. 1, 2014, data plans have nearly dropped at least 50%, and now more carriers are giving away unlimited calls/data in order to keep clients. For example, now in my home I have 10 MB broadband internet, a fixed phone line with unlimited calls worldwide (except Cuba and certain destinations) and 172 TV channels (50 in HD) for $44 USD ($700 MXN) per month. Service is up and running with 99% efectiveness.

Mexico does not enforce the IMEI policy in a strict manner as it is not illegal to swap IMEI numbers and when you get a blacklisted phone in a Mexican carrier you can go to a repair shop (literally one in every corner) and they can get you up and running in no time.

I bought the GS6 from a retailer in Mexico as an unlocked phone complete with box/accesories. I already took it to them and told them it shows as blacklisted in T-Mobile, so either I get refund or I'll be massively pissed at them.

Thanks in advance to everyone for their time!

can u send me the link to the bootloader too pls, thqnk you
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Bravo_J:
Hi pmichaelro!

First of all: THANK YOU for your work and that thread!

I rooted my G925F using your bootloader and guidance and flashed carHD afterwards. Unfortunately there seems to be an issue with that rom in combination with the bootloader. I gathered all files from this site and used the newest or mentioned versions.

I gave it several tries, but always got that white screen with the greenish ui:

bootloader > twrp > unikernel > carhdV11-OI7

bootloader > twrp > unikernel > carhdV11-OI7 > aroma

bootloader > twrp > carhdV11-OI7 > aroma

bootloader > twrp > unikernel > carhdV12-OI9

bootloader > twrp > unikernel > carhdV12-OI9 > aroma

bootloader > twrp > carhdV12-OI9 > aroma

>>> all with white screen, of white flashing screen by pressing any button after screenlock (I know, you mentioned it in your guide, but since the new unikernel should work, I gave it some tries)

twrp > carhdV12-OI9 > aroma

>>> worked, but knox tripped

bootloader > twrp > alex-v kernel > carhdV12-OI9 > aroma > updateSU

>>> works als long as I don't lock the screen > after that white flashing by pressing any button

I'm running out of ideas...

Do you - or someone else have a clue?

Thing is: I'm used to cwm since the galaxy S2 - the Samsung base firmware is really annoying.

Please help.

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] pmichaelro:
You both have PMs.

Considering it's not listed in my OP, then NO. If anything changes, I'll update the OP.

Perhaps you missed a step there for sure. Have used the same technique a whole bunch of times and so did everyone one else and none of us had any issues with it. What I recommend is you download a full stock ROM for your country (ex: XEU - Europe), place your device in download mode and flash that full stock ROM using ODIN.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] pmichaelro:
You all have PMs.

The issues that you were facing were that you have overcomplicated things when you shouldn't have.

You should have just followed my tutorial to gain root without tripping Knox, step by step, then flash a custom ROM of your choice, it's latest version for your device. And if you had screen issues then flash latest version of Unikernel on top and that's it.

Bootloader -> TWRP -> Latest Unikernel -> Custom ROM (if ROM includes custom kernel that messes with the display drivers then flash latest Unikernel again) and that's it.

Hi,

May I have Engineering BL please for G925F?

Many thanks.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Bravo_J:
I followed your guide step by step, but due it didn't work I tried some other things to figure out where the error happens. I didn't mean to get things complicated but I neither wanted to cry for help after the first try ;)

so there is absolutely no way to reset that bit?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] neebi007:
[MENTION=6982809]Bravo_J[/MENTION] im afraid atm no solution sit tight and enjoy until someone figure something out.

Which i doubt very much cos according to chainfire knox is unrestable due to its a hardware(efuse) not a snippet of code. But u never know fingers crossed all of them... lol

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] pmichaelro:
You all have PMs.

I see. It's best to ask if you're not sure of something considering that you shouldn't have deviated from the guide and you did in the end.

At the moment there's no way to reset Knox, not sure if there is going to be one.

Hopefully you aren't going to need to return it to service ever or the Samsung service in your country doesn't care about Knox altogether :)

I think ther's a problem with new COI9 rom, i was on the previous COH2 and the engeneering bootloader was flashed flawless by odin and all was ok whith root rom kernel ecc, now i flashed stock COI9 to start installing Xstrestolite 2.4 from a fresh system and now when i try to flash the engeneering bootloader Odin return error Flash boot.bin at NandFlash start, on terminal appears a red string under the knox counter SysRev check failed and nothing can be done only reboot and restart system...

I think Samsung whith new COI9 lock the possibility to flash the engeneering bootloader whith Odin

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] neebi007:
Ans 1. Dont understand the question, but if restoring u mean returning to stock then that does not trip knox. If u mean backing up via twrp and then restoring at later stage that that do not trip knox. You trip knox only if do not have this eng bootloaderinstalled and install custom installed i.e. kernel recovery etc

Ans 2. Should read before posting. Yes you can install any rom but not via odin. Install via twrp.

Does anybody know which (if any) 5.1.1 ROMS are confirmed to work with this bootloader on the G920F?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] neebi007:
You need to read the rom's OP thread if thy compatible with 5.0.2 because this eng bootloader is 5.0.2 not 5.1.1

Or ask question in rom thread.

I can confirm using

Xtrestolite 2.4

Modem COI9

xposed v75

But my personal thinking any rom which is made for your model should work with bootloader if you install it as explained in OP.

I have no interest to use the fingerprint scanner.

Thanks.

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] alessio.71:
I don't think it exists an engineering bootloader 5.1.1, the one offered here is 5.0.2, that's why the fingerprint sensor doesn't work with it installed. This bootloader allows you to root the phone without tripping knox, if you follow carefully the instructions. Sadly I have the G925F bootloader so I can't share it with you, you need the G920F one, but don't worry, you'll see that pmichaelro will PM a link to you as soon as he can.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] makcrellon:
Grazie Alessio. Yes you're right, I meant the 5.0.2 Engineering Bootloader.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Rhodesfreak:

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrpiter:
Hello, could you help with these 3 questions?

1. I just bought G920F today and it is already on COI9. Since I am totally new to this device, can anyone tell me if the method described in the OP will work for me or it does not work on COI9? I have read many posts and I am really lost if it works on this firmware version or not?

2. If this method does not work what is the best way to root the phone, flash TWRP and custom ROM, even if it trips Knox, bearing in mind that I am on COI9?

3. If I am on COI9, can I flash older custom roms or they have to be based on COI9 too?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] neebi007:
People have successfully rooted phones while on coi9

You need this method only if you are concerned about knox if not then go wild with flashing follow any rom OP for your model and you will be rooted and and running custom rom.

And once you are rooted and running twrp you can flash any rom it does not have to be on coi9.

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] mrpiter:
Thanks for reply. Yes, I totally understand that. I am not that much concerned about Knox, I just thought that it would be nice not to trip the flag if it is possible. If not, I will just go wild ;) But for now the question still stands. Is this method going to work on COI9 or not? If I try and it does not work, what are the consequences? It just fails and nothing bad happens or I brick the phone?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] neebi007:
Worst comes to worst using this method is you will soft brick your phone i.e. no screen show with led or stuck on samsung logo for life etc etc.

Just keep your stock rom at hand from xda or sam mobile if above happens please reflash stock via odin and you will be good to go.

O and ofcourse backup your data in case if u lose it which i doubt in s6 models but its always good to be safe then sorry.
