[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mxl180:
I'm rooted and using rom, what's the easiest way to return stock and get upgrade?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] me_is_rushin:
Well

1. This is for the SM-920T not the SM-920F

2. Odin to stock and then OTA. Or wait for flashable tar
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] danveer:
Anyone missing data and hotspot toggles again?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] mxl180:
I'm actually on 920T, but I guessing I'm using a 920F based rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
I don't think you need to go back to stock first. You should be able to download the 6.0 file that Zaphodspeaks posted and extract it. Once extracted it'll contain the tar/md5 file which you should be able to flash through Odin.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] me_is_rushin:
I said go to stock for OTA. Or flash tar through Odin. You're just repeating me. Please read next time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
No. You said "wait" for flashable tar.

I'm saying there IS a flashable tar and it can be flashed via Odin.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] me_is_rushin:
So why not respond to the guy who was asking the question so he actually sees the answer?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
The bootloader appears to be unlocked..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] SeaFractor:
Interesting how encrypting the phone is a one way ticket without resetting the device. Decryption is no longer an option.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] BigWorldJust:
My phone is rooted right now, but if I am understanding correctly to get this I can just flash the .tar file that was posted on the previous page and it won't erase any data? I do not have to flash back to stock?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
Flashing the image won't change your data, you will lose root..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] me_is_rushin:
Pretty sure everytime you flash a .tar it wipes the system and data partitions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] BigWorldJust:
Oh yes, I know I'll lose root. But since you are saying it won't change my data, I won't lose my applications, application data, texts, etc if I flash the .tar you posted through Odin, will I? Thanks for the upload by the way!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
Might be a safe bet to update apps with TB and copy that to your computer just to be safe.

You can do the same with photos, etc.

As for messages, I use SMS backup and restore. You can do a backup with that and copy that folder locally too.

There is also a root option posted in this thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
I was just poking into the Sam Mobile in the middle of the night as I always do... and Sweet jesus it was there..

Can I use Smart Switch to transfer apps to MM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
No prob. Give us another confirmation if that gets you rooted. I may jump in the fire tonight once I get off work but I'm really interested in getting some feedback first. I suppose if I update and it goes off the rails I can always go back....

---------- Post added at 09:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 PM ----------

I gather you're not presently rooted?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Zero_Lord:
Rooted but i dont want to root mm.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
I'm going to wait myself... Looks like if we flash a Semi Compatible Kernel we would lose WiFi Calling..

I might toy with the kernel it's self later..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
You don't need to. If you're rooted then backup your apps with Titanium Backup.

Once that is done then you can copy that folder from off your phone onto your computer or something (as there seems to be some uncertainty as to whether updating to MM will delete data so copying the folder is just a precautionary measure).

You can also use SMS backup and restore to save phone logs and messages and once you backup then copy that folder also to your computer.

Once you update to MM then simply copy those two folders back to the device.

Use Titanium backup to restore apps and then use the SMS restore app to restore phone log and messages. You need not be rooted on MM.

PM me if you need further clarification.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Zero_Lord:
Thanks you will try it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
Here's a thread covering how to restore the backups without root.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] me_is_rushin:
Has anyone tried flashing SuperSU instead of a a custom kernel on MM to achieve root?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
The kernel, bootloader and Radio have to match.. if not, no WiFi calling..

we should a beta kernel in a day or so..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tocirah1:
I tried this, but I couldn't get it to work. The phone would boot ok, but then there wouldn't actually be root access.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] me_is_rushin:
Thanks for the response. Could you tell me what version of SuperSU you tried?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tocirah1:
Yes I tried the latest stable version 2.65 as well as 2.62 by accident
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] me_is_rushin:
Dang. Well here's to hoping Chainfire can release a new version that's compatible.

---------- Post added at 09:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 PM ----------

One last question. Did you try the standard SuperSU or the system-less SuperSU?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
BETA-SuperSU-v2.68 is said to work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] me_is_rushin:
Will be trying tonight and reporting here. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tocirah1:
Just a heads up everyone that it appears that I can't hear people on calls. Soo you might not want to use a custom kernel if you're expecting phone calls.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] me_is_rushin:
I'll mess around with it. I can't use a custom kernel because every time I try it breaks Gear VR.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
It's been a little while since I busted out my Gear VR but I've been running a custom kernel and don't believe it has caused an issue since I flashed the custom kernel.

I can confirm tonight (of course it might be moot given the MM drop but I can check it nonetheless).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tocirah1:
I'm trying SuperSU 2.71 BETA right now. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

---------- Post added at 04:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 PM ----------

Ok tentative success? Seems like at least I get call audio with 2.71 on stock kernel. And root appears to still work. Here's a link to an ODIN flashable stock kernel in case anyone did what I did and wants to go back.

EDIT: Update Root seems to work and /system seems to be R/W. I have call audio and WiFi Calling works now.

No.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tocirah1:
Can someone update the OP with all this information?

The OTA is available: G920TUVU3EPD1_G920TTMB3EPD1_TMB (Android 6.0.1)

Download link (Thanks to Zaphodspeaks): https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24499762635997683

Bootloader is NOT LOCKED.

TWRP WORKS with idlekernel's TWRP installed using ODIN. Download it here: https://idlekernel.com/twrp/zeroflte/

If you choose to install TWRP however, you WILL GET A BOOTLOOP until you patch your boot image. This can be down by installing SuperSU or with a custom kernel. Unfortunately there are no custom kernels designed for the G920T at the moment, so SuperSU is probably your best bet.

Using the Vanilla version of TWRP (from twrp.me) causes a hang on "Recovery is not SEAndroid Enforcing" upon attempting to boot into recovery.

Root WORKS with stock kernel. Use SuperSU v2.68 BETA or above (I can only personally vouch for v2.71).

After installing SuperSU, the phone may take a few tries to boot.

Wifi Calling WORKS with stock kernel + Root.

Wanam's Xposed v80.1 WORKS.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
I tried to install idlekernel's TWRP on my G920T and it bootlooped.. Reverted back to official..

Edit, will this only work with MM? I have not updated yet.. I'm currently pulling the 70 gigs of music off my phone and back everything up before I take the dive..

Edit2: Oh I just installed the wrong version.. Will try correct version once all my data has been secured off my device..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tocirah1:
It does bootloop because your bootimage isn't patched. You need to install TWRP and then flash SuperSU v2.71 from TWRP. This will patch your bootimage.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
Thats exactly my plan..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] donelwero:
Hi! Im sorry for the noob question but I haven't done this in a long time.

To flash this in Odin I have to put the whole tar.md5 file into Odin's AP field? (If I'm not mistaken I have to rename it to .tar)

And TWRP img.tar goes into the AP field too?

Then I can install superSU in TWRP, right?

Running Stock 6.0.1 from 5.1.1

It uses both the Samsung and the Android api, meaning an app built specifically with support for android fingerprint api will work as will an app built with samsung fingerprint api

Root Confirmed using idlekernel's TWRP (twrp-3.0.2-1-zeroflte.tar.md5 ) to which does not recognize any of my OTG devices..

Flashed Chainfire's (BETA-SuperSU-v2.71-20160331103524.zip) and obtained Root!

Do not flash the TWRP from the app or from TWRP it's self.. It bootlooped my phone..

No need to flash a Custom Kernel..

Edit: this method allowed me to retain WiFi Calling since I did not have to flash a custom Kernel..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
How did you flash TWRP (that part in your post isn't clear) and which version did you flash?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ummduh:
How would one go about re-flashing stock recovery to get OTG support back? Can I extract it from the OTA?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ncvikingx97:
Have any of you dirty flashed this over a stock rooted ROM with a custom kernel? Pretty sure that would be a bad idea but I really don't want to go through the process of reverting stock to flash the update
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] cwhiatt:
You dont need to revert to stock to update. You can flash the MM tar.md5 via Odin.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] ummduh:
I did just that. Worked great.

Any chance you can do a write-up? I love Sick & Twisted v5, but I'm itching for some Marshmallow until The Sickness makes a MM version :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] JustZaphod:
No custom Kernel is needed, you can find a specialized version of TWRP https://idlekernel.com/twrp/zeroflte/3.0.2-1/

Use ODIN to Flash this Version of TWRP from said link "twrp-3.0.2-1-zeroflte.tar.md5" Just copy the files you need directly to your device..

Flash SuperSU BETA-SuperSU-v2.71..

This is easy guys..

I can't confirm if OTG support in this CUSTOM version of TWRP works for all OTG devices.. It just doesn't like mine so far..

Be patient this was just released Today! there are bugs there will always be bugs..

I already have mine Deodexed.. and you know what.. It's not that big of an upgrade..

Just Reboot system now/bootloader

Apply update ADB/SD card

Wipe data

Wipe cache

Mount

Power off

I tried adb sideload root.zip but it gives footer is wrong error.

Did anyone else have problems with that particular TWRP file?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] xaxasant:
For anyone who flashed the stock firmware if you attempt to follow the root instructions in this thread make sure you allow OEM unlock in developer options .

If you do not do so and attempt to flash TWRP then you will end up being stuck at the Tmobile screen not being able to boot no matter how many times you flash the stock firmware, kernels, or boot images (at least in my case).

To fix this you must download Smart Switch and do the Emergency software recovery and initialization, and for some reason flashing the stock firmware through it instead of Odin works.

You can tell that OEM unlocking is allowed if in download mode it tells you the FRP lock is off.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] roundel77:
It is smoother! Feels cleaner, faster! I've just installed stock OTA. I am not rooted. But I notice that power saving mode is now disabling data completely plus there is annoying battery icon in left side of the notification bar. Any way around this ?

I already warned my users that if they want custom features and mods not to update until the mod tool are working 100%!!

I won't even begin my OZOP MM build until then.

Without full mod abilities, I don't care if it;s they newest with a couple of new "Stock" features, those couple of features aren't worth losing 100's from current LP!!

Some people crave "Stock" though so to those people Isay "cheers" and have a good day!!

Me, I do custom, modded all the way!!!

I do look forward to starting my MM build once the tools are in place, but even then it will be at least a month out until I can add back a fraction of what current OZOP has!!!

I'm glad we finally got the update and thanks to you brave ones for diving in to it so quick!!

What are some of the biggest most noticeable features?

Is the new stuff "gimmicky" or do they have actual usable benefits?

Is the update worth losing all the custom features available with LP roms?

Good luck to everyone and have a good day!!

For those still on LP, OZOP v14 is about to drop!!!

MM's got nothing on OZOP v14 running Twisted kernel 7.1!!!​

So let me see if I get this right, I have an unlocked Galaxy S6 SM-G920T - baseband G920TUEU3COK1 which is not on that T-Mobile support page, that means I'm screwed, I thought by getting an unlock phone, I don't have to put up with this carrier non sense. What gives.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] jonesin:
It's just that, you are only carrier unlocked meaning that you can use any sim card that you wish to connect to any carriers cellular services. This does not at all mean though that you can flash any firmware you wish. Firmware is still device specific and if you are not careful you WILL brick your device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] techfellow:
The T-MO page basically if your phone baseband is not on the list T-MO or samsung cannot update the phone. What are my options to get marshmellow? Root?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] HKSpeed:
I also have the US factory unlocked model. Sammobile's firmware pages for any non-carrier/unlocked device (including wifi only tablets) lists the carrier as "Cellular south". Cellular South is a small regional carrier in the southeast USA, now known as C-Spire. My guess is we have to wait until C-Spire releases their MM update. This is disappointing. I thought the unlocked model would get updates first. We don't have the security updates that Google released in December 2015.

About Cellular South: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_Spire_Wireless
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] General_Mayhem:
It seems you are correct. I looked at a Samsung page that didn't mention anything about an FM chip but found another site that says it does have it.

D@mnit T-Mobile, enable the FM chip already. The lag with TuneIn sucks..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] stevenchen1995:
I'm also on a factory unlocked G920T (XAR) and I'm happily using the TMB Marshmallow. I was among the first to try the T-Mobile-modified firmware, everything else worked fine but there's no signal (I live in Canada). Then I flashed the modem.bin extracted from the 5.1.1 XAR firmware with Odin and the signal came back. As long as you don't mind a few carrier bloats, go for it. It's smooth as f***.
