Yeah... I've tried that, but since it's outdated firmware security check fails every time. So, I don't think I'll be able to fix that until I find newer firwmare. Thanks for reply btw.

After flash success, phone reboots and gives me a DRK not installed, please use ENG binary and install DRK error
[Galaxy S6 Active] nooneknowsmyphone:
So... At first I thought it was outdated version problem but when I tried few more times it actually did pass, I did everything as written in the article and dm-verity is verified but bootloop and random restarts hasn't stopped yet. In recovery mode it says "No support single sku, Supported API: 3" and sometimes during restarts "System Software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone" or "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" shows up. Any suggestions?

CHANGELOG

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE: September 27, 2018

• New firmware update is available - v28 (G890AUCS7DRF2)

-> What's changing: Android device security updates

• OPTION 3 updated with two new links:

-> v27 (G890AUCS7DRE1) to v28 (G890AUCS7DRF2) update file (20.5 MB) + (Alternative Link)

Can you try sideloading the new version (if you're currently on v27) and advise if anything changed?
[Galaxy S6 Active] DickVanPaiton:
Hi Guys,

where can I find the very latest (full) ODIN version of the S6 Active firmware? Sorry but I was looking back and forth in the thread and did not find a download source :-/

The latest I found was DQD1 which is already 1.5 years old :(

I am sorry...don't know how, but I overlooked the update in the first post. Looks like this is the latest ODIN FW version out there:

"2.) Download the firmware (v23 - 7.0.1 - G890AUCS7DRA2) from one of the links below:

-> v23 - 7.0.1 - G890AUCS7DRA2 at Mega.nz + (Alternative AndroidFileHost Link) (Thanks to [MENTION=7827091]Phamvietquy[/MENTION])"

If somebody has an ODIN version which is newer (than DEA2), I would be happy if you could share the download.

THX!
[Galaxy S6 Active] lirex:
Maybe [MENTION=7827091]Phamvietquy[/MENTION] can find & share an updated ODIN image?
[Galaxy S6 Active] Grazer42:
Thanks for providing this, Lirex. I bought an ATT S6 active and have updated to v23, went through no problem. The phone has an unresponsive touchscreen and, being AT&T, I can't use *#2663#. I was hoping that a full FW upgrade would resolve the TSC issue, it hasn't. Is carrying on with the other FWs likely to fix it?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S6 Active] lirex:
Probably not, sorry. Did you consider changing tue touch screen?
[Galaxy S6 Active] Grazer42:
Yes, that's probably the next thing.

Thanks, again.

Hello, my name is Claudio Castillo. I want to say that I only created this account to say thank you, your contribution helps me a lot with my Galaxy S6 Active from At&t.

I live in the Caribbean and, I clarify this because perhaps being outside the USA, the automatic update does not reach the device. When doing it with ODIN and following step by step, everything turned out perfect. Thank you so much.

still getting error

Getting the "Cannot Load "firmware"" issue for V4 to V5. Tried run as administrator, tried moving the ADB folder a couple times, tried another computer (same OS). Am I forever doomed to sit on 5.11? Have downloaded the V5 firmware bout a dozen times now.
[Galaxy S6 Active] lirex:
No error messages in ADB, but what about the phone? Sometimes it's showing an error for a few seconds and then reboots. Also, which file did you download to sideload?

Okay, you have two more things to try - to use a different USB cable and to do it on a different OS. :)
[Galaxy S6 Active] theandrewgordon:
I love it. Battery is awesome. Used option 3. Tried with my Dell, no success, then with my macbook pro with boot camp windows 10. Simple. Really really smooth. 100% more enjoyable

[Galaxy S6 Active] timdsmith72:
I went through the same thing it sounds like you are going through. No error in adb, but stuck on 5.1.1.

Here's what I did:

Odin back to G890AUCU3BOJE

Used adb to sideload v3 (G890AUCU3BOJE) to v4 (G890AUCU3BPB3) update file (85,9 MB)

Then sideload v4 (G890AUCU3BPB3) to v5 (G890AUCU3CPE3) update file (1,5 GB)

Boom. Marshmallow.
[Galaxy S6 Active] Waxy7861:
Hi how is the battery life?

Is this firmware official?

How is battery life compared to 5.1.1 & 5.0.2?

Also I'm on the G890AUCU3BOJE firmware . Can I still update to 6.0.1 ? I'm in the UK so can't do it OTA :(

Thx
[Galaxy S6 Active] lirex:
It seems that you didn't read the first post carefully - it's all there. The firmware is official, just not released yet. So you can consider it in beta version. If you follow the steps in Option 3 you can update to 6.0.1 without a problem.

As for the battery life. I was on BOJE too, but with 6.0.1 I think the battery is working slightly longer than before. I can't say it's a lot better - just better than before :)
[Galaxy S6 Active] ashkitten:
For me it had been at 30 something percent battery by the end of the day (very intensive usage), but with 6.0.1 it's now around 50-60% on average.

Failed to adb from v3 to v4. Then adb is permanently locked (even when I enable developer option and adb stuff). Tried to odin v3 and that failed. Phone is soft bricked. Odin randomly fails whenever I tries to flash when writing system.img. md5 packager does not work, I get a fast_cwd error.

What do I do...

[Galaxy S6 Active] lirex:
To your surprise I've got all errors which I've listed in the Troubleshooting Tutorial so you're not alone. ;) I've written about status 7 too. It's a tricky error and you probably have some system bloatware disabled (manually or with a third party software) which ruined the process. So enable everything and then start over. If you used third party software to disable apps, go in there and enable everything.

Cannot get v4 (G890AUCU3BPB3) to v5 (G890AUCU3CPE3) update file to sideload, yet v3 to v4 worked flawless first time, I even did it again without fail whilst in the middle of trying to get v4 to v5 to work. I've downloaded the file twice with no difference same "cannot read FIRMWARE". Is there another source for the file? To get v3 to v4 to work I had to add ".bin" to the filename for it to sideload, obviously tried this with v4 to v5 firmware and different renames with no change. ADB Devices shows my device as it should, Reactivation Lock is OFF, Debugging ON, restarted W10 64Bit PC multiple times. Using ADB Drivers package 1.4.3. Genuine HTC cable :P, tried BPCG to CPE4 (although I'm now BPB3 lol) didnt work either. It has to be the Marshmallow v4 to v5 file?! When downloaded, it just shows up as a file with no ".bin" or "BIN File" just "File" in explorer file type.

EDIT/FIXED: Used another browser (firefox instead of chrome )to download file and another computer which is kind of a fresh install W10 x64 Alienware 14... Could be a multitude of fixes there or one or the other.

Is it possible to get that data so I can use it again? Or am I screwed...
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
i have never used this before, but according to the pics, you can restore apps and data out of the nandroid. maybe you can put the backup on your new phone, then do that to get to the data you want.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] awca22:
Hello Everyone! :)

I had been doing so much unlocks to many phones and I had this persistent issue with sprint phones so here is a quick solution for the Hands free activation. (There are different methods)

YOU NEED TO BE ROOTED

THIS WORK ON S6 & S6 EDGE , NOTE 4 & 5. I had tested all in my devices maybe works in other devices.

Method 1.

With adb connect your device with adb debugging on.

open adb shell and type:

rm /system/priv-app/SprintDM/SprintDM.apk

rm /system/priv-app/SprintSyncMLSvc/SprintSyncMLSvc.apk

rm /system/priv-app/Activation/Activation.apk

Reset and there will be no more handsfree activation.

Method 2

With your rooted device download a root file explorer

and go to this folders on the device

/system/priv-app/SprintDM/SprintDM.apk

/system/priv-app/SprintSyncMLSvc/SprintSyncMLSvc.apk

/system/priv-app/Activation/Activation.apk

Delete the apks or just rename them as I did.

That should be all, no more Handsfree Activation.

I am testing a new software for note 5 unlocks, anyone who wants a domestic-international unlock send me a message.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] DarkManX4lf:
I'm guessing this is helpful if you are using the Sprint Note 5 outside of Sprint?

If you don't remove Hands free activation, does it always pop-up?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] awca22:
Correct this will only show if you have a unlocked device and using it in another network.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] vadimkolchev:
If I disable SprintDM.apk and prevent it from loading, it solves the issue with hands free activation, however leaves me without 3g on CDMA, that is not acceptable for me. After I enable this apk, 3g immediately starts working ok for me.
