Please take a screen shot of your about phone setting with model number and a screen shot of SU installed. Also did you use odin to flash? This is to show root was successful and I will proceed.

Thanks for the responce so you use Japan softbank phone in indonesia? Is the LTE BANDS the same as Japan LTE? I looked at the website you suggested but was difficult to follow tell your procedure if you can again. If your rooted I don't think you can get OTA now. On a different subject have you found a way to unlock your boooader?

Did you also try flashing the Hong Kong 9250 stock rom for the 404sc?

dikmutun's advice works, thanks!

Update from original poster. Problem solved. I used dikmutun's exact advice below for downloading Odin and the Chinese TWRP tar file.

I got root with no problems.

After a bit more playing around with root apps, I can now tether my cellphone data to wifi hotspot, edit my APN, backup my apps with titanium backup.

Thanks!

questions/feedback please

hey guys,

Glad to see some Softbank's GS6 Edge users here.

I am thinking also of getting this phone from Softbank this coming Nov. 2015.

But I am still thinking about it since I am reading a lot of users having some problems with it especially Battery life, RAM management and Lags.

Since you already have the GS6 Edge, how was it?

Are you encountering those problems or issues?

Would you please give some feedbacks based on your actual usage?

Thanks a lot in advance.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] primod808:
The main issue is battery life if your a medium to heavy user be prepared to have a portable charger by mid day. If your a light user you should be able to not charge until later on the evening. Great phone just the battery life could be better. On a side note if you decide to get it get the gold color looks sweet. Never get tired at look in at my phone!
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g.b.a.:
Hi Primod808,

Thanks for the feedback.

If battery is the only main problem, i think i can deal with it since i am always carrying a powerbank.

My great concern is the lag or sluggishness.

Are you encountering it? Is it tolerable?

I still have some more questions if you don't mind.

What was your phone before the GS6?

How long you've been using your GS6?

Have you successfully rooted it?

If yes, is it possible to remove all Softbank's unnecessary Apps?

I am very sorry for so many questions.

By the way, yes, just in case i'll be getting the GS6, i am planning to get the gold platinum color also.

Thank you in advance.

i will add the links : ) wait a second

twrp 2.8.6.0 is here.

https://www.mediafire.com/?natl7349ac08rrv

if this link dies, google search twrp 2.8.6.0 , that should work also.

i followed this guide, except you can NOT use the new 2.8.7.* twrp. you need the 2.8.6.0 version.

i tried 2.8.7.0. i could not use the buttons. so i changed to 2.8.6.0 and it worked fine.

another tip.

after I rooted and use titanium backup pro to remove bloatware trash.

you can remove many softbank bloatware, but do not try to remove the dictionaries or disaster message board apps. it will cause a boot loop.

many of the other softbank samsung apps and galaxy s6 apps can all be removed with no problem.

im up to 70,000 on antutu benchmark. 50k with battery save mode active.

Unlock my Galaxy S6 Edge model 404sc / SW-G925Z

Hi! i am newbie here in this forum , i have no technical knowledge about rooting and unlocking my phone, please bear with me.

I just recently bought a Galaxy S6 Edge in japan with the carrier softbank, but i can't use it here in the Philippines. my objective is to unlock the carrier (have it openline) so i can use it here, as of this moment my phone us sitting here in my table without any use so i was wondering if i can unlock by myself.

as far as what i've read here in this forum, someone has rooted his device by following a guide that is posted on this thread. but i dont know if the rooting and flashing my phone inclines in my objective. Here are the details shown in the "about" section of phone

404SC

3.10.61-5555100

just got my gold s6 edge from softbank! yay! no plan to root it for now. (or should I root it?)

---------- Post added at 09:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------

as far as I know, you could ask Softbank to officially unlock it for free. but you need to wait for 90 days after signing up the contract with them.

having it rooted doesn't mean that you can unlock it immediately...

you may try to bring it to Greenhills... they might already have the SW for it...

good luck!

Sorry to say the bad news to you but anything from a Japan carrier is locked to that specific carrier. To unlock and unlock bootloader is two completely different things. The best you can do is root it at this point and or use wifi on it.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g.b.a.:
No. In case you don't know yet, the big 3 Japan carriers already started their official unlocking from galaxy s6.

Please read this: http://www.japanmobiletech.com/2015/05/comparison-of-samsung-galaxy-s6.html?m=1

actually DoCoMo has been doing it for a long time. (except for iphone)

I already tried it in my LG G2. It is now unlocked!
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] primod808:
Sorry I responded to your post by mistake was responding to the fellow who lives in the Philippines. He was asking if he could unlock his s6 boot loader which from his story he purchased from softbank. Now he can unlock his phone for other carriers but he wanted to unlock his bootloader which again is pretty much dead end with Japanese phone's.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g.b.a.:
it's OK. no problem. :o

yes, you're right, if he is or the device is in the Philippines and he has no intention to return here, then there's nothing he can do except to use it as a wifi only device.

unless someone in the Philippines already know how to unlock it.

by the way, I've heard that Marshmallow will be coming to S6 edge Softbank.

it came from Samsung website. I just don't know when or if Softbank will allow it.. :(
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] primod808:
Yeah I heard that too about 6.0 but yeah we are pretty much at the mercy of softbank when they want to update our s6. I mean take the stage freight exploit for example that Google already had OTA update patches for months and even US CARRIERS are on 5.1.1. Doesn't softbank have a website with English speaking forums so we can rant??!
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeflonDog:
Has anyone succeeded in rooting their Softbank S6 edge (404SC)?

My SC-06D is on its last breath and I got an offer to switch to Softbank. Two phone choices: Xperia Z5 or Galaxy S6 Edge. (I haven't found how to root either phone.)

Since day one I have truly hated the battery life on my Galaxy. It sounds like Samsung has not improved much in the battery department. Is this really the case?

If so, I'm thinking to give Sony a shot, even though I've read the z5 overheats like crazy. (It's 1,000/month cheaper than the S6 as well.)

Also anyone still rooted after the 6.0.1 update?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoenixstu:
I just got the s6 edge- softbank.

I like the feel of the new Marshmallow update. Only one concern. My wifi is horrible. Every device in my house works fine however, the s6 is very spotty. It shows full signal however, it cuts in and out it seems. When I go to a webpage it starts to load and then stops(shows wifi is still connected and full bars just no in/out). Same goes for any app. Play store, social media. I have to turn off wifi and use mobile data to get it to load properly. It will work at times just not constant. I am really at a loss on what to do. I have done a factory reset but that did not help. Used different wifi. Also, for some reason, if I try to boot into recovery so that I have have the option to wipe the system cache in hopes to fix the wifi issue, I am not presented with any options. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I didnt root or unlock it myself.... im pretty sure i wiped all data before flashing the rom i have on there now, but i cant remember for sure....

seems to be the only way to truly fix my extremely messed up WIFI situation... (wifi kills my phone completely... regardless of whose internet as i tried my neighbours and got the same error). i did a restore to last year but it only fixed it for a day... if im gonna restore to a year ago again, i figure i may as well do a full fresh install, since its crapping out still anyway

i have something called superuser (i know is root access), and something called stk which ive read is sim toolkit, in "system/app" they are both apk's. "superuser.apk" and "stk.apk"

also, will my custom recovery be gone? as far as i remember that is how i flashed my ROM last time... but its been so long i cant remember...
[General Questions and Answers] Dr.Varun5179:
Let me try helping since myself new on forums:-

There are two types of phone resets available- 1.Factory wipe from settings of phone/from custom recovery (cwm/twrp) or 2.Complete wipe performed such as in upgrading os version of android (like i did lollipop from jellybean). The complete wipe is done in custom recovery only under mounts and advance option in cwm and then wiping cache,system,data and everything else. If you do so,you will be losing everything installed in your phone EXCEPT Root and Custom recovery.

Back to your question, if you perform factory reset,NO,you don't lose root. If you do complete wipe from recovery,still you don't lose root of your phone UNLESS you fix the root on reboot.

Choose the reset carefully before installing any rom,read their steps,if they ask full wipe or just factory reset and dalvik cache.

Hope it helps.

[General Questions and Answers] cibalo:
you cannot unroot yourself thru factory reset
[General Questions and Answers] Ciprum:
Factory reset WILL:

Remove all apps and their data

Contacts that are not on the SIM card

(In some rare cases) Pictures, music...

Factory reset WILL NOT:

Remove carrier unlock

Remove root (but may remove superuser app)

Remove the recovery

In case that superuser app is gone, just install that same superuser app from Google Play and update it if it asks to do so.

Ok, let me ask this, to ask if its even worth me doing....

last night i did the same restore to a year ago... except this time while i still had wifi i had downloaded both avast and AVG

I can with both now, and my phone says its clean...

but yet the problem is recurring now, and wifi, 4g, tethering..... basically any function that connects me to the world outside completely craps out my phone...

i thought the restore, and especially he restore and downloading antivirus would fix it, or at least be able to tell me WHAT the problem is... avast will scan the wifi network, but of course this test now freezes up just the same cuz it has to turn on wifi to do so.... while it was still working this test did execute just fine with no errors....

its as soon as internet is connected... for 3g or even my router, it will read it without the internet feed plugged in. but plug that in and it all goes to crap again. Id just hate to do a full fresh install just for it to all go to crap *again*....

ive scanned all computers on the router and those come back clean/no viruses... i tried i different router with internet, same error. i tried the neighbours connection.... same thing again.

this is really baffling.

so i feel more comfortable doing a factory reset....... but i guess im wondering is will it help me??? at all????

whatever this is is clearly not an infected device as some on another forum had thought.... something *else* is going wrong....
[General Questions and Answers] Ciprum:
Factory reset fixes all problems that were not made with root. You will not lose root either. For a total fix just wipe everything and reflash rom.
[General Questions and Answers] Pawprints1986:
Right now im trying a different router, which doesnt have any windows XP machine plugged into it, and i made it extremely secure. even changed the default username and password to get onto the router itself (never bothered with the other one, the one i had been routinely using)... I did a complete reset of this router before even connecting to it with my phone, after it was secured. the other regular one still has everything else connected to it. this one is literally a separate connection, which i named "phone test" lol.

if it makes no difference, total fresh install is my last resort. if it *does* make a difference however... then something in my other regular router is messed up that cause my phones connections to freeze up - but that avast or AVG wouldnt detect (thats the only weird part)...

i even did a scan of my external SD card the other day, thats clean too.

time will tell, im approaching the 24 hour mark with this new setup. if by tomorrow its freezing up again, its not the router. but if its still working, ill have extreme suspicion that it was in fact, the router, probably something dealing with my XP machine thats plugged into it (well, normally anyway).

Time will tell...

im also trying to remember which apps i had updated before any problems started in case there are any corrupted updates i installed, without knowing it. (legit from play store, but still, ive heard that doesnt always mean totally safe, cuz anyone can make them)
