First of all, calm down. Believe me it's harder than you think to brick S6 in a not fixable way ;)

If Odin doesn't flash official roms or you just cant suffer a slow a** download speed from SamMobile :

1. Press and hold all of 4 buttons on your device. (Volume up + Volume Down + Home + Power) your device will reboot.

2. As soon as device reboots release volume up and hold other 3 three. (Power + Home + Volume Down). Your device should boot into downloading mode.

3. Download this :

https://dl.twrp.me/zeroflte/twrp-2.8.7.2-zeroflte.img.tar.html

4. Connect your phone to your pc and flash above file with Odin. As soon as flashing process finishes, hold Power+Home + Volume Up. Now your device will boot into TWRP recovery.

5. Wait for drivers to be installed. Your pc should show phone's internal storage as connected device. If not, go to TWRP Mount section and enable MTP mode. (Or if it's enabled, disable and re enable it :) )

6. Download this rom :

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/sams...rom-2013266107-arrow-rom-v1-0-0-fast-t3212318

And this kernel:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/sams...nified-development/kernel-vindicator-t3156281

Then put them on your phone.

7. Wipe system,data,cache and dalvik cache from twrp.

8. Install Arrow Rom first and then flash Vindicator Kernel.

9.Reboot, first boot can take up to 15 minutes ;)

10.Continue celebrating new year [emoji14]

sometimes if odin not working i restart my computer and put my mobile in downloadmode again and than i try again,most of the time it worked.....
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Damientju:
If you think you can't find a wat at all, Samsung will help u. Download smartswitch to your PC and you can click in top corner emergency reinstall (or something like that) just put your serial number (as found on your backside of the phone)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WaDoDem:
I cannot use recovery since none of the numbers i have on the back of my phone matches the one i need to enter.

i tried device initialization that led to FAILED TO UPDATE DUE TO AN ERROR.

and then smart switch recommends emergency software recovery the one you were talking about but i dont know how to get my code.

I assumed you meant to input my phones IMEI however that did not prove to be correct.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Damientju:
Relax, flip your phone and on the bottom you'll see (barely visible) text. The last line it says: 'S/N:'

The code after is your serial number. So not your IMEI

The same code is found on the stickers you'd got with your phone
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WaDoDem:
When i go to Smart switch Emergency Software recovery and input my S/N R58G52AMP1J

it says:

''Unable to find the recovery code. Check the recovery code in the PC's Emergency Software Recovery menu, or contact the samsung service center.''

When i did Device initialization used my model nr and S/N: R58G52AMP1J, halfway through completing the process, the first one did 100% then the next loading didint start got the error and that re-directed me to try Emergency Software Recovery.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhakalanil81@gmail.com:
HI

i know your problem , irecently f*cked my phone

I was bare worried however i was able to fix itnw

Download Both file and flash the pit first

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_N:
yes

If Odin says no PIT, he'll need to Odin the PIT file for his device first then Odin the factory firmware.

PS...I'm just browsing threads and stopped here, hopefully to help. I'll keep reading. lol

Did you get the appropriate PIT file for your devices Internal storage? It does matter whether its the 32 64 or 128GB version.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WaDoDem:
I just downloaded and tried the pit that above user posted.

https://drive.google.com/folderview...sharing&tid=0B40ItdHKfkyQd1hJQXVDU3dDU2c#list

It's a Galaxy s6 32GB.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_N:
PIT

And the PIT file is specifically for a 32 GB model?

http://www.droidviews.com/how-to-extract-pit-file-from-samsung-galaxy-devices/

And this link is for the Galaxy S6...they say the internal storage doesnt matter...so use caution...

http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-samsung-galaxy-s6-pit-file-g920fiklstw8-84262/
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhakalanil81@gmail.com:
Thats right pit if your device is G920f 32gb

And this is uk firmware

(UNinstall kiess and smart switch it or close them as interrupts with driver)

OPen odin and flash PIT FRom the link

Then extract the firmware and flash it .

Add me on HAngout :Dhakalanil81@gmail.com
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brenner650:
Do not use emergency initialization with recovery code. (unless you have the code offcourse :D )

Put phone in download mode:

Vol down+Home+Power button

then Vol Up to confirm Download mode after entrering dl mode.

In Smart Switch go to more, and choose Initialization from drop down menu, type model e.g. SM-G900F, s/n from back of the phone, and wait till it finishes download and flashing.

If knox was triped before, and you get stuck at Samsung logo after initialization, just go again to download mode and flash unikernel with Odin.

Hope that helps :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ADM!RAL:
hi guys first of all i apologize for this post not having detailed info such as ss from BBS,GSAM and WLD and will post them later !!

and as always i guess with most battery related problems it happened suddenly and i really mean suddenly the day before yesterday everything was perfectly fine and i didn't have that ridiculous battery drain !!

i woke up yesterday only to find out that Android OS is taking more than 50% of battery usage with a drain like 20% over night

restarted many times and by the end of the day i installed GSAM and WLD (wakelock detector)

froze most of apps including the ones i installed recently but i didn't install that battery hog apps (nothing unusual) and also they didn't appear in partial wakelocks section of BBS

btw i don't use any fake battery extender tools or memory boosters it's just Greenify

i observed that sometimes when i unlock my device (i use knock code btw if that matter!!) wifi gets disconnected and reconnect again (wifi icon disappear and re-appear again in 3 secs or so)

i'll upload ss in a couple of mins

thank you

Edit: SS Added

and notice how it drained 5% in just 40 mins (20 mins SOT) !!!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevica Smederevac:
Little more details about rom,kernel but wifi is destroying your battery,that is for sure. It's waking the phone thousands of time as you can see yourself
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ADM!RAL:
yea i noticed that i read about something related to wifi driver issue idk

thx for reply tho and for my device it's stock D800y20 rom just rooted and even with stock recovery if it matter
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keeepinitgansta:
This has started for me today also! Not sure what is causing it but I was fine prior to today. Maybe its a google Play services update?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ADM!RAL:
idk but last google play service update was 10 days ago here !!

Hello,

I have at 80% the same problem, I loose 7-10% of battery per hours, without SIM, wifi, bluetooth...

I already tried most of all roms, kernel, try all cpu governor.

If you are ready to dismantlle the phone, do it, and see if there is a problem inside. I hope you will resolve your problem and tell me if one day you gonna have a better battery ;)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ADM!RAL:
yea almost identical problem

i did tot reinstall and see how things go !!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ADM!RAL:
sadly nothing changed and wifi still eats huge amount of battery idk how did this happen :(

well i'll update thread if anything changed

peace out guys
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HzMeister:
I had the same problem with battery drain(although not as severe) along with huge data consumption when using a significantly modified(i.e. heavy debloat and ota disabled) rooted stock rom. I tried a few customs roms and dorimanx kernel(not at the same time), and even though battery drain wasn't as bad, they were are waaaay to buggy to be used everyday(especially the dorimanx kernel, it's really bad).

Just last week I tot back to KK and ota updated to the latest LP rom(lost root unfortunately). Then I uninstalled/disabled every app I could/needed. Everything is very fast, smooth, and stable again. I now lose 1-2% every 8hrs in standby with syncing and wifi/data enabled, bluetooth and nfc disabled. I regularly get 5-6hrs sot over 48hrs with moderate use and brightness on auto.

I do have a new battery though - my old one( came with my "refurbished" phone from freedompop) gave me 2-3hrs of sot - but that was when I first got it and before I started modifying anything.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptorddd:
How is dorimanx kernel bad? How many user downloads he has,lots and lots then are we thousands of user wrong using a bad kernel, come on . Maybe it didnt work for you. But out of those thousands of users cant be wrong. If it was that bad no one would download. Just saying , you should just say it didnt work for you.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dlazzy:
Can you tell us what app have you uninstalled and disable ?

What have you debloat ?

Thank you very much
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jg1210:
My G2 (vs980) has also been suffering from a sudden battery drain. Android OS and Android System seem to be the problem. They are now second and third on the list of battery usage, after the screen. Before now, they were never that high on the list. I noticed this last weekend, when I kdz to the latest update for the vs980, which is 3AA. After noticing this, I flashed the xceed kernel, then cloudy with dorimanx kernel, and the battery drain continued. I even kdz back to kitkat, still the same, then I flashed AICP 11, and still the same battery drain by Android OS and system. Finally, I restored a backup of stock lollipop 39A but, the issue continued so I turned on airplane mode and it seems to help a bit. I still notice battery life isn't the same as before. The os and system still drain more than usual even on airplane mode.

Kind of glad to hear I'm not the only one with this issue. I don't think I need a new battery, since I bought the phone new in April 2015 from Bestbuy.

Also Gsam, shows the temperature of phone between 80°-90°F, where before it would be in the low to mid 70s. One time, it even got up to 104°F, funny thing is, it doesn't even feel that hot in my hand.

Hopefully, we can find out what's causing this because I really liked the battery life on this phone. Even when people complained about the battery life being worse on 5.0.2, I was pretty happy with it. All my previous phones can't compare to the g2. Now I feel like upgrading though lol.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HzMeister:
When I tried the version that was out a month or two ago it wasn't nearly as smooth as stock, even after conservatively messing with the kernel app settings. The worst was that it also cut out tethering and my flashlight when the screen shut off. Maybe the recent updates have fixed some of the issues, but I doubt it. Could be that he doesn't have access to the sprint variant which I have...

Either way, just because 'thousands' of people use it doesn't necessarily mean that it's good - 99.9% of those users have no idea how to code or how a kernel is written. Their knowledge goes as far as following picture guides online - which a 5 years old could do. Just look at the most recent change log - those 'fixes' were to glaringly huge problems that shouldn't have been made in the first place and people were blissfully using it the whole time. Think about how many thousands of other bugs their must be. Not to mention hacking up code made by professionals at huge companies could lead to many other problems. Obliviously the stock kernel has bugs as well, but it works and is fast and stable so I see no need for using a hacked together kernel made by one amateur that doesn't even have my version of the phone to test it on. I wanted it to be good - which Is why I went to the trouble of installing it, but it's definitely NOT.

I uninstalled ALL of the stock apps that can be uninstalled. The ones I disabled are aosp keyboard, app updates, browser, calendar, cloud print, favorite contact widget, google play books, games, movies & tv, newstand, google+, lg voice command speech pack, music, music(the widget - it always runs in the background even without being on the homescreen), notebook, polaris viewer, quicktranslator, swype, talkback, voice command. I would have liked to disable a few more but I'm not rooted so I couldn't.

I use nearly all of the google products like chrome,gmail, calendar, docs, keep, music, photos, news and weather,translate,etc...so having the stock lg ones enabled was redundant. I also only have the bare minimum of installed apps that I need. Nearly all of them are made my major corporations i.e Chase, BofA, ebay, paypal, freedompop, microsoft, swiftkey etc. I have NO games or any small apps that need a ton of permissions. The only small apps are feedly, print hammermill, privacy flashlight(240kb, no ads, no permissions) and bubble level(180kb, no ads, no permissions).

I also go through every settings in every app to make sure it's what I want. And I restart my phone every time I take it off the charger. IMO having a clean and no frills system that is set correctly is the key to performance and battery life.

I just want want to clarify that I average 4-5hrs per 1% in standby since it doesn't seem to hold as well as it gets closer to 0%.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptorddd:
theres this app that have lots of info on battery..
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ADM!RAL:
thx guys for adding your experience

i hoped moded kernels would've reduced that amount as they should have necessary drivers for wifi which was somehow got messed up but from your reply i guess i've to look somewhere else :(
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ADM!RAL:
idk how to put this, well this isn't a solution at all i actually didn't start working on it yet just thought to share what i found so far !!

so it's just a reference for any one whose luck was bad enough to have a wakelock like that !

1st of all in most cases neither the device nor it's battery are at fault *you need to understand that*

faulty battery doesn't show up kernel related wakelocks instead they drain without a reason so i hope ppl stop accusing battery in every battery drain thread!

2nd after understanding that you'll have to deal with the environment your phone is used in

to put it simple it's your router and all devices in your current network !! (idk though why not all devices get affected by that or why it just started now, tough luck yea)

those threads may help

i'll let you know if things were improved !
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ADM!RAL:
hey guys

i thought to share what i did so far and before i go on there is a bad news and a good news !!

i would start with the bad news first !

-no rom could solve this issue so you don't really need to format everything and start from scratch especially if you didn't mess around too much and you found it started suddenly like here, i've tried couple of roms including latest CM13 build it wasn't that bad but it didn't solve the drain that much either !!

-now some ppl may see this bad and some may don't care (which means good!!) google services are the ones responsible for this drain

well man you didn't come up with anything new and i see you've got a problem getting straight to the point besides you talk too much :eek:

i'm sorry :o

now you have to sacrifice your google services background sync including "GCM" if you are using any services similar to pushbullet or notification mirroring you'd understand why it's important

anyway if you are good with that you may install and yea it works with latest google play services

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.playfulgeeks.gservicefix

and do as instructions (and believe it'll work if you did steps right)

if you prefer manual way then you'll need "app ops xposed module" and deactivate every "wake up" permission from google services

this guide may help but remember we don't have tools natively in our roms so don't bother downloading "shortcut maker" and go through your settings app to find "privacy guard" or "app ops" we don't have those natively like them

http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-google-play-services-battery-t2832525

i'll share some ss from stock battery stats

i'm sorry for my long post and i hope it'll help someone with same issue

idk if it solved issue completely but things are stabilized a lot now and i just lost 1% over night not 20% or 30% like before !!

and i'm using lollipop now so i guess it's not that bad for what i heard about bad lollipop battery since it's my first time trying it !!

and btw real SOT should be +40 mins so the real SOT is 2H-47M cuz i restarted my phone to apply that fix and for some reason battery stats doesn't stick between reboots !!

if anyone interested in trying that rom it's for D800 only btw and thx to [MENTION=4774042]Swetnes[/MENTION] for his work rom feels pretty stable and solid :good:

Hey everybody thanks for coming to this guide. Feel free to ask questions in case you don't get it. But let's get this straight, ok?

So some of you must be using a custom ROM. And if you're not a developer, you might be wandering that how did they make the ROM. If you want your OWN product without taking the long way, I have the solution right here.

For me it's almost impossible building up my OWN ROM from nothing like other devs did themselves, either. But i CAN make one from ANOTHER rom. Adjusting it a little, modding a bit there, fixing a LOT here... and ta-da! The Something-Based rom was born. The ultimate tool that you're going to need is the ANDROID KITCHEN.

The one and only kitchen that actually "cooks" Android. One note that this guide i'm doing is for Windows. If you can figure out how to use it with Linux or Mac please be a nice person and share it will you?

Ok, first thing you need is a base ROM(make sure it's the rom that works on the device you're trying to build the ROM for)(Can be CyanogenMod, AOKP, Resurrection Remix,...)

Then comes the other requirements/files:

-A stable internet connection

-Your Windows PC

-Cygwin Packages

-Kitchen

-Java JDK(either x86 or x64(depends on your PC)

So for a reminder, that before you kick off make sure that java jdk was installed. Just go through the setups and install it.

Now comes the GUIDE:

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZoP5RHWBX8

Sorry if it wasn't so detail. But if you miss anything I can make it up for you. Just simply report it back, OK?

Have Fun Modding!

Special Thanks

dsixda for the kitchen

Roman Ablivia for inspiring me to make the guide and presenting me to the kitchen

Hi,

I just installed the newest Pure Nexus and I am super happy with the results :)

Hower my phone is still encrypted.

How can I decrypt it? What tutorial should I follow? There are so many. Please help me.

What I have done so far:

1) Unlock bootloader

2) Flash TWRP

3) Flash Pure Nexus (prerooted) and gapps

Thank you!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khizar:
Backup all your apps/data to PC and then type this command in fastboot "fastboot format userdata". It'll decrypt you but also wipe all data from your phone, including data/media(internal storage).
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redbeard325:
Thank you very much!

Just to be sure:

1) I make a full backup over TWRP and copy the backup to the computer (check all checkboxes in the backup options?)

2) Start smartphone in fastboot mode

3) Use command fastboot format userdata

4) Go back in TWRP and install the backup I have done in step 1

5) Reboot normally

6) Done?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khizar:
1. Backup all the contents of your sdcard. Everything will be deleted.

2. Yes.

3. Yes.

4. Don't backup/restore rom. Do fastboot reboot and setup you phone from scratch.

5. Transfer everything back to sdcard.

6. Done.
