Im at the boot from recovery mode step. How do I "flash the kernel"?

Do I select the "apply update from..." options?

Edit: Read some of the posts about the phone staying in download mode with auto reboot being unchecked and the need to force shutdown/reboot in recovery mode. Will probably fix my problem.

Additional question though: my gs6 edge+ is still on lollipop 5.1.1, i planned to use the 11.0 kernel and philz touch recovery rather than the most current. Correct?

Double edit: when I reboot into recovery it loads the stock recovery which has no install from zip option. Still can't root

I flashed via Odin "cf-autoroot for G928c 6.0.1" and i can confirm that it works on G928F as well and root is back, supersu works again.

Soft brick using CF Auto Root

Be careful if you flash the G928F variant using CF Auto Root. I managed to root mine this way and it all seemed great and root was working etc, that was until I rebooted my phone later. It was then stuck on a boot screen and the error message:

"Custom binary blocked by frp lock"

and I could not go any further. I re-flashed the Marshmallow firmware to get my phone unbricked but obviously losing root. I am gutted that my KNOX tripped and I am not even rooted!

.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Xyronith:
You probably forgot to unlock the OEM FRP lock in developer options. I had the same when I tried this and was panicking because of the thought that I had bricked my device, since it was stucked in download mode. However, pressing all buttons (volume up and down and power) allowed me to get back into android to turn on the slider in developer options. I then proceeded to redo the flashing process and it was a success this time.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] apprentice:
Yes you are right! I did forget this option. I guess I am used to working with pre unlocked bootloaders.

Thanks, I will give it another try when I get home later.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] ShyamSasi:
Just a quick update:

For MM seems like most people successfully rooted with SkyHigh Kernel other methods like CF Root etc. is causing boot loops in some cases i am guessing it's because of the recovery apparently the recovery meant for S6 edge+ is causing bootloops and Note 5 recovery seems to be working fine for us. So if you are running into such issues, you could try to follow the SkyHigh Kernel thread to flash recovery, root and install that custom Kernel.

Just a FYI arter97 kernel paused the development for now http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=65805377&postcount=2319 so SkyHigh is the only custom Kernel at this moment. AUDAX Kernel is on it's way for MM. I will update the OP once that's come out.

Cheers!

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] wigglitz:
Hello,

I am very sorry if I am one of those people. I have searched for the past few days and cannot find a definitive answer. I have the T-Mobile SM-G928T. I tried to not let it update, but it eventually did to BOH4. I regret not downloading “Package Disabler Pro”. Without explaining all of the findings I have come across. I was wondering if someone might be able to answer a few quick questions. I hear rooting trips Knox. I read here that Knox is removed. Is there a way to only root my G928T without recovery and/or kernel? Like a root injected stock image? Would this still trip Knox if possible? I know there was a slightly annoying work around for recovery for the S5 using SafeStrap. I have not seen anything like this for the Edge+. Just thought I might ask. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for any response in advance. :)

anyone knows how to restore the stock kernel +custom recovery + supersu.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] jah2110:
You can't restore the stock kernel because don't work with root that's why we need a permissive kernel. I'm using 5.0 Arter and Don have any reebot after 3 days of rude use.

I don't want to get started on the process to find it doesn't work... I read where I believe it should work fine but find conflicting evidence in other threads. Can someone please verify?

Also there was a T-Mobile update today... I'm assuming I shouldn't take that if I'm to root?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] iamkake:
can someone explain how to copy files to the device when its in a bootloop?

How can I copy the files to my device (kernel, supersu, etc.) when I can't boot into the phone?

Can they be copied while in recovery or odin?

The phone doesnt show up as a drive on the PC.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Ha3ks:
i had the same issue (Mac user with access to Windows VMs) In my case I had to flash the recovery first and reboot into the OS.

bust open chrome and spend a few moments downloading the files to the phone through chrome (surprisingly easy with such a large screen)

Boot into recovery (Vol Up + home + Power for 10 secs) and then flash the zips

Done ;)
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] iamkake:
Ah, well, I should have replied to my own post but I figured it out. Actually, the phone was in a bootloop, so it never even got to the main screen, there was no way to open anything on the phone because it would not boot.

However, I discovered (and maybe this is commonly known) that I could boot into recovery, and use adb sideload on my PC while the phone is connected to usb to flash the kernel, after doing that I was able to boot fine. working great now.

thanks :)

flash SM-G9287 firmware to SM-G9280 device ?

Hi,

I have bought from my trip in China this mobile phone SM-G9280 64GB - Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus.

I want to flash SM-G9287 firmware to SM-G9280 device. Is this possible ?

I want to use google and Honk Kong software or any other software with google on the SM-G9280 64GB.

Can I flash SM-G9287 firmware to SM-G9280 device if I have the firmware file and the PIT file ?

At this time I don't have the PIT file, I only have the firmware file.

Any suggestions ?

If I can't put new firmware on the phone with google then I need to sell the phone :(((

hi, i have a SM-G928T T-Mobile Galaxy S6 Edge Plus. Stuck on Boot Logo after following all steps as you detailed.

I have followed the exact instructions here as follows:

Use Odin3 3.10.7 to first flash the .md5 recovery file. I Used the arter97-recovery-g928tw8-6.0-philz_touch_6.59.0.tar.md5 file

This was successful. Got the green PASS. As someone else said in an earlier post, phone had to be rebooted manually and only way to do that was to reboot with the Volume down + Power + Home button and when it was about to restart to switch to holding the Volume Up button.

Got into Recovery. says "Seandroid not enforcing"

Followed the steps detailed by OP and on Arter97's post. Used the arter97-kernel-g928tw8-6.0.zip Kernel.

Flashed Kernel, Flashed SuperSU.

Restarted. Again had to do above steps with holding buttons to get back into recovery.

Formatted Cache and others for f2fs.

Restarted.

Stuck on Boot Logo now.

Have used Odin and adb sideload to repeat steps a few times and also tried using the 5.0 kernel, but nothing works.

Any help is appreciated.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Ha3ks:
You have downloaded the combo recovery and kernel image, you need to download the two items seperately (or bust open the .tar and extract the files) then as per the instructions copy the kernal and super su to your phones memory.

Use odin to then flash the recovery (only the recovery!!!)

Boot into recovery and then flash the kernal and then super su.

There is an update for some peeps from arter97 regarding the future on his twitter feed for some things (s6 only though i think)

None of this helps with bootloops though, and im not near my laptop to try a few things :(

Perhaps grab a logcat if you can to see what is going on or post it up here so we can have a goosy
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] ShyamSasi:
This all looks right. Maybe skip the formatted cache and other f2fs part and see if that works.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] ShyamSasi:
What's your phone model? Maybe you are flashing a incorrect one?

Yes you can root that model. Probably not in the same state. You might need to flash stock image back if you want to apply any Samsung device updates.

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Ha3ks:
Hi, it doesnt look as though the 928C is rootable with this method just yet.

As for fingerprints and whatnot these would only be lost if you flash the ROM, think of su as an 'app' so to speak that your adding (and in the future removing if needed) on your phone.

Keep an eye out on the first post in this thread as it will be updated when more versions become rootable.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] frwerewolf:
Hi, Thanks for the reply.

It seems to me that arter97 had developed a root for SM-G928 C. I have read somewhere that flashing arter97 boot loader would break private mode and fingerprints. (maybe because it will trip the Knox counter).

If it's so.. I won't root for the moment until there is a way to keep private mode and fingerprints.

With my note 4 under Kk I succeeded to make private mode work again with an xposed module. But I had no problem with fingerprints
