Hello pmichaelro, could you send me the engineering bootloader for G925F 5.1.1? I had PM you 2 days ago.

Thank You Very Much

I am on lates col9 on my G920F

If i flash this engineering bootloader with costume kernel I will not trip knox and can flash any rom?

And by flashing original firmware from sammobile I will restore finger scanner and samsung pay?

Can I have the bootloader please ?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] NMarco:
hello guys! if I flash engineering bootloader and recovery I lost all my data on my phone?

It's possible to flash with last fw version: XXU3COI9?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] alerems:
Hi!

No, you won't loose any dant on your phone.

If it was factory installed, or updated through OTA and you have COI9 bootloader - you can't intall engineering bootloader of 5.0.2, but you can install recovery and you will loose your warranty, cause you will trip KNOW to 0x1.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] nsvladimir:
Is it possible to downgrade COI9?

no succes

tried this, might be doing it wrong ... but I flashed via odin it doesn't succeed, stops at a certain point where phone no longer works, I managed to get the phone back up and running, might you have guide gow to revert to stock with odin, because there are a lot of horror stories about reverting to stock with galaxy s6 edge via odin

thank you in advance
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] maxynorbi:
The things you will need:

- Download and install ODIN

- A program called 7Zip

- A copy of your stock ROM in question.

Download odin 3.07 google it

Download or update Kies. Part of those processes are to install or update drivers.

Once drivers are installed, a restart of your PC may be required. In fact, I would highly suggest it.

Dowload and install 7zip

Download stock rom from sammobile.com

Extract downloaded stock rom zip

Run odin as administrator

Hit AP button and give the .md5 file from zip what you extracted

Shut down your device and put it in download mode vol down + home + power

One more volume up

Once in Download Mode, you can plug in your device. You will need to wait several minutes, as ODIN, your PC, and the device all talk to each other.

After some time has passed, upward of several minutes, you should see a box that is colored and has a type, and a number: Ex: 'COM:3' That means your PC recognizes the device and everything should be ready to go. The number is irrelevant. (It will depend on which USB port on your computer you plugged the device cable into.)

At this point, DO NOT remove your device until ODIN says finished, or if something goes wrong, it will say failed.

When ODIN is done, you should see a box that will say reset or passed (depending on which version you have, you may see either or both.). At this point it is ok to remove your device.

ODIN has completed the flash, and by now, the device should be going through the reboot screen.

Any problems, try these few things: Update Drivers, and restart your PC; Different cables; Different USB ports.

Other solutions may include redownloading the file.

encryption + 5.1.1 issue alltogether

Hello,

I finally decided to write here on forum after 1 week of researching and testing and failings and hours spent reading.

It might be moved to separate thread since i didn't see any problems like mine related to the 5.1.1 from 5.0.2 mess :) After i solved the issue regarding bootloader and kernel thanks to lot of great helpfull people who posted solutions, phone finally boots fine BUT since i had encryption on it doesn't allow me to go on without password. The password i am inserting i am 100% sure is the correct one but somehow it seems the device doesn't recognize it anymore. I try resetting factory reset from twrp wipe full data and everything, tried to flash from odin always fail i cant flash any odin related rom. I tried even to make my own package with unified android toolkit, but always get the same issue phone gets ok passes the 5.1.1 issue but not able to login into the encrypted phone. My question is: there is any way to pass this issue? I dont care about the knox trip or my data anymore at this stage my only goal is to get the phone working..period. :)

So i am waiting for any suggestion.

Have a nice day all.

Since I haven't received a single reply, I still have a question.

Does anybody know how to update a stock COH2 G925F, rooted by this method, to a stock COI9, keeping root and knox intact?

Thanks,

Alex
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] superweerman:
Thank you!

I'm going to read this and try it , for the moment my freeze problem looks ok, i had random freezes with the phone, very annoying with alarms not going off and so on, but i started looking how to start over without flashing or reverting to stock again, and wiped my phone via TWRP, i did however notice there are still files on the internal memory (my music and so on was still there) . I'm used to working with iPhone for a very long time , last time I flashed something before this galaxy s6 edge was htc phone with mobile windows ( the non finger friendly version) I still don't understand many things, I have the engineering bootloader , unikernel and TWRP , if I flash the MD5 file i've extracted will I keep the engineering bootloader and TWRP and unikernel? or will everything rever to stock ?

Thank you for the above detailed procedure , thank you !!!!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] maxynorbi:
Everything will be stock
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Geoz:
I don't see a quick solution to this. Before flashing engineering bootloader you have turn off encryption as some security features may not function then after flashing try turn it on again
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] korosfoy:
I was afraid of a similar answer ;) how about going to Samsung? expensive?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] superweerman:
Smart Switch

Can I update my phone via Smart Switch, because I installed and it said update available .. Is it safe to do it ? Ik have the engineering bootloader, unikernel and TWRP.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] neebi007:
Pretty simple

Root via this method

Install any rom based on coi9 via twrp

Find modem of coi9 twrp flashable and install via twrp.

Thats it.

How do I root my g925f CO19 Samsung S6 Edge?

It seems I need the engineering bootloader according to these instructions. Not sure why the link isn't just provided, but could I have it please?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Painman1963:
If you read even a few of the posts on this thread you would know that you can't use this method on CO19 and also the reason why the link isn't available.

Anybody got the boot loader?

Sooo... Since pmichaelro is M.I.A. for now, can ANYONE PM me the engineering boot loader for G925T? It would be greatly appreciated. :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] frenzke68:
Engineering bootloader needed

can ANYONE PM me the engineering boot loader for G925F International please?

Thnx in advance
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] alessio.71:
Thank you! But this way (via TWRP) will I lose all my settings (like a wipe)?

Another thing, if I flash the whole tar.md5 won't I overwrite the bootloader too?

Thanks,

Alex
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] neebi007:
Well when u will install new rom thy recomend full wipe else u might have issues with settings. New rom = new start.

And y u installing tar.md5 file? U cant install that via twrp. Via twrp u only install zip format files.

And installing new rom i mean custom rom i.e. xtrestolite etc if u install this rom it will not flash any bootloader or modem just system get written.

And installing this eng BL u will lose fingerprint.(you can have it back if you go back to full stock on any stage later).

via D2P2
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] alessio.71:
Yes but my question was a bit different:

I'm on stock COH2, with pmichaelro's engineering bootloader, TWRP and rooted with unikernel. How can I update to COI9 keeping engineering bootloader, unikernel e TWRP?

I don't want to install custom kernel, only stock.

Thanks,

Alex
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] neebi007:
Umm thats even simpler. Just find twrp flashable modem for coi9. stock kernel and bootloader u cant have or u will end up with triped knox.

Because if u just install stock BL u got custom kernel running(uni kernel) + custom recovery = triped knox

If u install stock kernel u lose root binaries so no root.

U can set unikernel to run as stock if u want.

Im running this eng bootloader +twrp+xtrestolite 2.4a( based on coi9)+ coi9 baseband(modem). And everything is hunky dory.

via D2P2
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] officiallyme:
Is there any chance that the bootloader will be updated to include a functioning fingerprint scanner?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] neebi007:
I doubt it mate. But fingers are crossed someone will release new BL sooner or later.

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] alessio.71:
I managed to update my G925F stock COH2, with pmichaelro's engineering bootloader, TWRP and rooted with unikernel to stock COI9 without losing root nor knox 0x0.

This is what I did:

1) Downloaded latest firmware from sammobile (mine was G925FXXU3COI9_G925FITV3COI6_G925FXXU3COI9_HOME.tar.md5)

2) Extracted the tar.md5 into an empty directory

3) Deleted boot.img (I want to keep my unikernel!) and sboot.bin (I want, even more, to keep the engineering bootlader!)

4) Created a new .tar file with the remaining files

tar --create --format=gnu -b20 --quoting-style=escape --owner=0 --group=0 --totals --mode=644 -f MYNEWROM.tar cache.img cm.bin hidden.img modem.bin recovery.img system.img

5) Created the tar.md5 checksum for it

md5sum.exe -t MYNEWROM.tar >> MYNEWROM.tar

and then renamed the file MYNEWROM.tar into MYNEWROM.tar.md5

6) Entered the phone in download mode and flashed the newly created MYNEWROM.tar.md5 with Odin 3.10.7 (standard options)

7) After the update completed I put the phone back in download mode to flash the TWRP recovery.

That's all.

Thanks for reading,

Alex

I´m on Xtrestrolite 2.3 with Unikernel 8.002 and bootloader 5.0.2. Can I update to Xtrestrolite 2.4 without problems and without tripping knox?

Hi can I have the engineering bootloader please? Can I use it to flash the tmobile firmware on the 925f? I really want to use Samsung Pay but samsung doesnt support the unlocked version for some reason. If not then Ill just trip knox and root. Before I do that, does knox affect anything besides Samsung Pay or warranty claims?

Hi.

I have followed the guide, i run odin 3.10.7, auto reboot is checked and f. reset time checked but I get Fail every time i try to flash. I can see my phone in odin and im in download mode and have load the file on BL. any tips why it wont work? I got the file from pmichaelro but for g920f (thats my model) Im on 5.1.1. latest firmware that was released this month. I have also gave it a try with the previous version of Odin. please help me.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] nsvladimir:
You last rom is COI9?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Rekkaone:
Yes. Do I have to flash an older stock or what?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] nsvladimir:
COI9 not possible flash with EB and not possible flash older rom
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Rekkaone:
Of course I can! I just download the previews samsung STOCK från sammobile and flash it with Odin and Knox will not be tripped.

If Im wrong, please explain why?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] alessio.71:
What he means is that you cannot gain root when already on COI9.

If you are already on COI9 you cannot flash the Engineering Bootloader (COI9 bootloader wont allow it) so you cannot flash TWRP (without tripping knox) and you cannot flash Alex-V kernel or Unikernel.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Rekkaone:
I understand that but if I flash stock firmware from the version before COI9 then knox will not be triggers so then it will work. Right? I have flashed stock before without knox being tripped. And then i can flash eb right?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] alessio.71:
The problem is that I don't think you can downgrade... COI9 bootloader won't allow that too
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Rekkaone:
Yes I understand that but as I said, I just flash a previews firmware and then I dont have COI9. Then I have the previews version:

From SamMobile!!

Model	SM-G920F

Model name	GALAXY S6

Country	Nordic countries

Version	Android 5.1.1

Changelist	5599585

Build date	Wed, 12 Aug 2015 08:13:06 +0000

Product code	NEE

PDA	G920FXXU2COH2

CSC	G920FNEE2COH3

And you say you THINK you dont know! right!

Please can someone more experience give me a straight answer?

Anyway I will flash previews firmware as soon as the download is complete!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Painman1963:
I don't think you do understand. Now that you have the CO19 Bootloader, you CAN'T flash a previous firmware.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Rekkaone:
Okay so im screwed now and cant get root without tripping knox? Whats the up side with Knox? Ive heard of Samsung Pay but I dont think we have it i in Sweden so im thinking to flash root and tripp knox anyway. dont Care about warranty anymore because it works great and i had the phone for a wile and i have extra insurance.

Thanks anyway

Firmwarefile maniplulation to keep unikernel and engineering bootloader

It works thanks. I updated my G920F to the newest version with this hint (G920FXXU3QOJL_G920FAUV3QOJ1_G920FXXU3COI9).

But would be not easier to remove also the recovery.img in the tar file? So I would have the TWRP image not flash again. Would this work?

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] maxynorbi:
Can i ask you something? Why do you want to root your device?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] nsvladimir:
Because I want to use Titanium backup, Lucku patcher, remove bloatware, custom rom etc....

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] alessio.71:
NO, otherwise you'll lose the CSC (I tried that). You need the official recovery because after the reboot the phone will boot into recovery and flash the SCS; wont work with TWRP. In case you kept the TWRP, check with Phone Info if you lose the SCS, in that case, no problem, just recreate the tar.md5 WITH the original recovery.img and flash all over again, you'll have the CSC back.

Ciao,se invece ho già su la COI9 non posso utilizzare questa tua guida? Non c'è alcun modo di rifare il root con engineering bootloader e unikernel?Ho aggiornato a COI9 appena era uscito e sono rimasto fregato, senza root e senza recovery,ma ancor peggio senza nessuna possibilità di mettere ROM o fare un downgrade.

Dovresti postare in inglese qui... ;)

Purtroppo, no, se hai già la COI9, al momento, non c'è modo. Forse nell'immediato futuro qualcuno rilascerà un engineering bootloader basato sul COI9...

You should write in english here... ;)

I'm afraid, no, if you're already on COI9, at the moment, there's no way. Maybe in the near future someone will release an engineering bootloader based on COI9...

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] alessio.71:
Are you, for any chance, already on COI9?! This looks exactly the error that comes out when you try to downgrade the bootloader (sboot.bin). Remember, you cannot downgrade when your bootloader is already COI9 and the actual engineering bootloader is based on AOF1...

Great it works and which app do you use to add to a one big MYNEWROM.tar and to create tar.md5 ?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] alessio.71:
Read this, please

I used only the single exes, not the batch itself
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Geoz:
I've already created all the tar.md5 in a folder and thought you can pack them together but nevermind got it now, it has to be flashed individually
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] alessio.71:
If you check my first post you'll find that you could use the single exes files instead of the batch and tar all files in a single file and then create an ms5 of it.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Geoz:
My explanation was not clear, I did exactly that I just want to tar all files in a single file
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] alessio.71:
Maybe it is me, I wrote a little script based on mkh.mourad's one, just unpack it, extract your tar.md5 file into MyROM folder you'll find and double click on LaunchMe.bat.

It will create a MyNewROM.tar.md5 ready to be flashed with Odin (Included).

Let me know if this works.

Thanks (to mkh.mourad too),

Alex
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] teraßyte:
I see no file attached in your post?

EDIT: I see it now :p
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Geoz:
Thanks, I've already created

tar --create --format=gnu -b20 --quoting-style=escape --owner=0 --group=0 --totals --mode=644 -f MYNEWROM.tar cache.img cm.bin hidden.img modem.bin recovery.img system.img

using the link you gave and have all six tar.md5 so to create a big tar of all was what I was referering to and unfortunately your tool can 't tar all the files
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] alessio.71:
The line you quoted should have left a single MYNEROM.tar file containing all files you'd need, with the next line of code you'll calculate it's md5 and append it to your MYNEWROM.tar file, then you have only to rename the MYNEWROM.tar into MYNEWROM.tar.md5 and flash it with Odin3.

If you cannot follow these directives, just download my tool, extract your downloaded tat.md5 file into MyROM folder and launch the LaunchMe.bat, it will pick only the needed files, pack them into a single tar file, calculate the md5 and rename it to tar.md5.

It will launch Odin3, all you have to do is to choose the newly created MyNewROM.tar.md5 and flash it.

Hi guy's

sorry for this question

you all mention that it's not possible to flash this 5.0.2 engineering bootloader on COI9 which is 5.1.1.

If my bootloader version is BOGG or any other version which is also 5.1.1 will i be able to flash the engineering bootloader without any problems or it's not working to any 5.1.1 bootloaders regardless version?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] seferismo:
Will i lose finger scanner if i root my s6 5.1.1 doj6 via custom kernel?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] alessio.71:
Yes, you should, just try following pmichaelro's instructions. If you can't Odin will give an error.

It's not the custom kernel that make you lose the finger scanner, is the engineering bootloader that does. Without the engineering bootloader (that on your doj6 probably won't install), if you flash a custom kernel, you won't lose the finger scanner but you'll invalidate the warranty triggering knox 0x1.

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] DJGREEN1980:
Hi

If after I flash the engineering bootloader, root, install TWRP and custom rom then if I ever I want to go back to completely stock everything (bootloader, kernel, recovery and rom) then what would the method be without tripping knox? :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Geoz:
Flash stock ROM
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] georgetheo77:
I tried to flash COI1 over the COI9 without luck. Odin shows the error... "cannot recognize the file" i tried again with admin rights but still the same. Any solutions?

p.s i tried to flash XEO over XEF
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] DJGREEN1980:
Would that be through Odin and would that also recover the stock recovery, kernel and bootloader?

My main concern is not to trip knox
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] alessio.71:
Yes, sure

From COI9 onward you cannot downgrade! You must wait for a newer engineering bootloader
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] georgetheo77:
Even if the rom is 5.1.1 but older?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] alessio.71:
I'm afraid, yes
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] georgetheo77:
I read few pages back and i saw that you manage to upgrade your rom to COI9 and kept root and engineering bootloader.

Is it possible to share your rom for people like me and others who has COI9 bootloader and cannot root without tripping KNOX in order to flash it via odin?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] alessio.71:
My guide works only if ALREADY have the Engineering bootloader installed, if you installed it before the COI9 update, if you want to update to COI9 or later keeping it. If, for any chance, you are ALREADY on COI9 or later WITHOUT the engineering bootloader, you can no longer install it because is based on earlier version of the one that comes with COI9 and this one wont allow a downgrade of itself.

I hope to have clarified things
