What rom did you flash how did you get there through twrp or did you odin to get there
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] yugendreams:
I deleted Android and Data in ES. Booted into Recovery. Wiped everything 3 times. Flashed this kernel (beta) and this rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Cone1237:
Because you flashed an international rom flash tek rom or hyperdrive and try arter kernel

---------- Post added at 05:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 AM ----------

Try and flash tek rom arter kernel or sky-high and just do normal wipe now

How you making out bud
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] yugendreams:
Thanks so much. Everything is working great. I really thought that rom was compatible considering it had a Tmobile fix in the AROMA.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] mocsab:
odin - because you have to change the bootloader and firmware back to Lollipop and you can't get the bootloader by flashing a rom in twrp
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Cone1237:
No you don't I am on tek 5.1.1 lp and still have mm bootloader and modem

---------- Post added at 01:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:39 PM ----------

No problem glad it worked

---------- Post added at 01:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 PM ----------

That is not true as I went back to teks 5.1.1 rom through twrp and still have mm bootloader and modem
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Cone1237:
Yah it's Strange some work some don't hopefully we get the official mm soon
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] mocsab:
i am glad for you that you could retun to lollipop via a twrp flash, most here cannot, so for those having bootloop issues when trying to go back to LP from MM factory wipe in recovery is the only fix I know of - maybe there are others but I am not aware of them...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Cone1237:
I was having the bootloader issue as well someone in the thread told me about delete in es file explore the android and data folder then flash the lp rom and kernel and it worked sounds like the more people try it more successful
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Jammol:
That's because people aren't wiping before trying to go back to Lollipop. Full wipe and flash LP Rom and phone will work just fine. You will however have the MM baseband but it works just fine.

Edit: For the folks wondering about what knox files can be removed, it seems to be random perhaps? I removed BBCagent and Settings FC like crazy. I say random because I redid everything over again but left that file and tried removing a different knox file and the same thing happens. I would say just don't remove Knox as it really isn't that big of a deal to leave it on there. It doesn't do anything whatsoever.

Edit2: For the folks wondering about battery life without root. Wow, almost non-existent. Absolutely have to root it to get rid of the tmobile adapt file. That things kills battery like nobody's business.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Cone1237:
Yah I got back no problem once got rid off couple folders in my external I still have mm bootloader and modem working fine believe u were one the ones that help me thanks again
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] VirusZer0:
Hey [MENTION=4613660]Jammol[/MENTION]

Hoping you can help. I'm thinking about switching back to this, want to see if you could answer a question. I love the TW launcher that comes with TEKs ROM. The 6x6 grid or whatever it is. Is there a way that you know of to get on this ROM? I've tried pushing the files to system/app or system/privapp, can't remember which without looking. I'm also tried flashing a zip from system/mods on TEKs ROM. With pushing, I get FCs and it falls back to a backup launcher (easy/Nova) and with flash, nothing happens as it is a different file name.

Let me know if you have any other ideas.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Jammol:
This will be a no go because that launcher isn't coded for MM. The original Dev would have to update it. I suggest scoping the S6 forum as they have MM already, so they may get the updated launcher before us.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] VirusZer0:
I figured that. Which s6, TMo, or International?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Jammol:
International would be the best bet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] legalmoneygang:

Does anyone know of a working Xposed Mod that will allow me to hide the funky VoLTE icon?

Thanks in advance!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] youngwake:
Will this work for s6 edge plus? or has anyone else experimented?

- I get stuck on samsung boot with SKYHIGH MM kernel.

- Successfully boots, but randomly reboots before finishing boot with SKYHIGH LP kernel.

I haven't tried other 6.0/5.0 kernel. Keep in mind the G928T is not updated to MM. That could be the issue?
[Verizon LG G4] Phurkus:
I got xposed installed and I'm looking to remove it from my phone to update to latest version of go and root.

However in the "uninstall" button of framework is greyed out.

I read an article that said I must download and Uninstaller and boot it from my custom recovery.

However I have not flashed a custom recovery, I am just rooted and with xposed.

Should I attempt to install TWRP or is there a way to remove it without installing things?
[Verizon LG G4] Spookymyo:
In the xposed thread there is an uninstall file for download.
[Verizon LG G4] geoff5093:
How did you install Xposed? Uninstall it the same way.
[Verizon LG G4] Phurkus:
How did i know which one is the right version?
[Verizon LG G4] astonmartin214:
it's the arm64 file
[Verizon LG G4] LASERWOLF452:
there is a way, when i get ready to KDZ my phone i make a video to show you how to uninstall xposed framwork

you dont need TWRP cause if you try to put it on the phone you will brick it

[HTC One A9] scott8281:
I'm experiencing a bug with regards to my text messaging. Anytime I try to send a text that's longer than one text in length it fails to send. It's not related to one particular messaging app. I've tried using Google messenger, Textra and chomp. The problem occurs with every app I've tried. Is anyone else experiencing this? I'm on AT&T. MMS works fine and so does sending one text message no longer than the character limit allows. So I don't know what's going on with it.
[HTC One A9] gg_man:
Hi there,

Did you root your A9? Because my A9 on AT&T seems to be fine.

You may try to delete the old messages if there are too many in the storage.

What's your software number? (Settings > About > Software information > Software number)

Have you asked the AT&T service for help?
[HTC One A9] scott8281:
Yes it's stock rooted 6.0

1.27.502.5

I've tried deleting the cache and all the messages but I get the same error. I haven't spoken with att about the issue
[HTC One A9] scott8281:
Update- I never found a solution to this. I switched to CM13 and have not had the issue since so I'm guessing it was related to the firmware.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brenner650:
Hello,

bought a used g920f s6 recently with no info of country of origin or original fw, it was stuck on logo, without warranty.

Knox was triped and twrp installed, tried flash several stock fw, allways stuck on logo, tried Soft Switch restore, but still the same.

Finally flashed latest Unikernel, and it booted up, flashed a ton of fw`s, if no unikernel allways stuck at logo, so I decided to leave unikernel, but IMEI reset to 35000000000000006, and emergency only (with signal bars) and no way of SIM registering to network, so i called few repair shops and even Samsung, most of them wanted to change the motherboard, and finally found a guy who said he can fix it with Z3X box.

He restored IMEI, but still SIM not registered and emergency only, so he said to leave him phone overnight to try reflash, I have been googling a bit before and asked him some questions about EFS and he said he doesnt know anything about it.

Later he called me and asked wich kernel was I using and somehow he managed to get SIM registered.

When I asked him how hw fixed it he said he patched the modem.

I brought the phone home to find out that phone often looses network registration, but signal bars are always there.

Since then tried to reflash several modems,bootloaders and fw`s, but either no network registration, or it often looses it randomly.

Last I flashed xstrestolite rom with unikernel from Aroma, but problem with network remains even with SIM from other operator and Model number changed to G925K.

Everything flashed through Odin, except Xtrestolite, following instructions provided with Aroma.

Tried with auto settings, LTE, WCDMA, GSM, signal jumps from 4g to 3g and vice versa, it is around 90-115 dBm, but asu often drops to 0 (have G360F on same location, has around 100 dBm and 40+ asu with same SIM on LTE)

Does anyone have some experience with this kind of issue, or could give me some advice how to fix it.

Galaxy S6

5.1.1 Android

Baseband: G920FXXU3COI9

Kernel: 3.10.61-S6 UniKernel v9-0000 Initial

If any other info needed I will gladly provide it asap just to fix this.

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brenner650:
...no one had such experience and mange to fix it?

I also noticed that s/n is different on back of the phone and in phone options.

Tried smart switch one more time, noticed that SS was instaling ITV fw, so I guess it had an Italian fw on it, or am I wrong?

And I want to rule out the possibility of hw failure.

Update:

After re-initialising phone with Smart Switch, stuck on logo, flashed unikernel, boot successfull, but emergency only, and no way of registering to network automatic or manualy, both on LTE or WCDMA/GSM.

Flashed Adam kernel, same, SIM registered only when reset band disable on LTE or WCDMA in service mode, but signal strength 113 dBm, asu 0, so still unsuefull, starting to seriously doubt in hw failure.

Wifi works fine.

Will try flashing several modems over the weekend.

:(

Any ideas?

Thx
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xstokerx:
I tryed helping another guy with this same problem and we couldnt find anyway to fix it as he could not get the stock firmwares to flash threw odin and unless u have a efs back up i think your outta luck its not a hardware thing its software has to do with mix match boatloader modem or curupt broken efs folder. Only fix ive heard is flashing stock threw odin.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brenner650:
I dont have stock efs backup, when I got phone it was stuck on logo with twrp flashed.

But now i initialized phone throug Smart switch, shouldn`t that restore original efs?

Backed up everything after Smart switch reinitialization, just in case, this is only efs backup I have.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xstokerx:
It should ive never used so not sure but looks like ur on the right track to getting it working
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brenner650:
Do you think that efs backup from another g920f would work?

Or there is a way to rebuild efs folder?

I tried adb steps from post below, back when my IMEI was 360000000000006, and got error in the process.

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/help/help-restore-lost-imei-serial-sm-g920fd-t3239815/page3

(For Fixing Efs.

adb shell

/system/xbin/su

mke2fs /dev/block/sda3

mkdir /efs

mount -t ext4 /dev/block/sda3 /efs (this line did not work for me)

reboot)

Do you think that efs backup from another g920f phone would work?

Or there is a way to rebuild efs folder?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xstokerx:
Well in all the reading ive only heard of flashing stock trew odin but im sure there are other ways of recovering

Maybe this work?

Preparation:

1. Flash stock latest firmware.

2. CF autoroot doesn't work for 5.1.1 anymore. Use Unikernel Latest version by g.lewarne. Download the Odin version.

3. Install custom recovery, I use Philztouch/CWM for this. Download the odin version for your device.

4. Download SuperSu flashable zip by Chainfire. Get the latest.

5. Download ADB tool in your pc.

6. Install Recovery and Unikernel via Odin. Don't expect for your device to work at this moment. Reboot to recovery after this.

7. Go to Mounts & Storage and mount System.

8. Install SuperSu via adb sideload (enable install via sideload first in Philz):

> adb sideload <supersu.zip location in pc>

or push the file in your sdcard:

> adb push <supersu.zip location in pc> /sdcard

and install it via Philz recovery.

Backup EFS.

1. Backup EFS and radio?? (Just to be sure if radio does have imei info also) just backup, it will do no harm to you.

From adb cmd type this:

> adb shell

> /system/xbin/su

#> dd if=/dev/block/sda3 of=/sdcard/efs.img bs=4096

#> dd if=/dev/block/sda8 of=/sdcard/radio.img bs=4096

--Note it's better to save the file in external via USB-OTG. Just mount it via Philz.

--I'm not sure of your model device but SDA3 (efs) and SDA8 (radio) refers to the efs and radio partitions, mine is G920FD, it is device specific. If unsure you can check which mount should you. It will give you what you need. From adb type this:

> cd /dev/block/platform/15570000.ufs/by-name/

> ll (or ls -l)

<comment> It's double letter L, now you could see which partitions/mounts to use.

2. After that, backup it for safety.

3. If you want to restore in the future:

> dd if=/sdcard/efs.img of=/dev/block/sda3 bs=4096

> dd if=/sdcard/radio.img of=/dev/block/sda8 bs=4096

For Fixing EFS:

> adb shell

> /system/xbin/su

#> mke2fs /dev/block/sda3

#> mkdir /efs

#> mount -t ext4 /dev/block/sda3 /efs

#> reboot

Now your device should boot properly.

Note: all credit goes to [MENTION=5027641]batuzai04123[/MENTION], as I only made some typo correction and added the step to mount /system in recovery prior tu issue adb commands, which him forgot to include in his guide.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brenner650:
I tried adb shell commands, but I must say that I am not familiar with linux commands, and specified commands did not work for me (probably I typed something wrong).

On folder list efs foleder was marked hidden, and there was a18 mark, not sda3, modem folder was marked sda8, as in command.

Tried to run command as is, and even change sda3 to a18 or sda18, but still got cannot find folder error.

EFS Professional looks promising, just need to figure it out, note that device s/n is different from number on back of the phone.

[IMG="EFS Professional info"]https://i.imgur.com/3CladRi.png[/IMG]

Update:

Boot up phone - emergency only..

enter service mode/band selection/automatic/LTE band 19 phone connects to network and I am able to make calls

Sometimes signal drops and I am back to emergency only, then if I repeat steps from above (even if that band is allready selected) phone reconnects and I am again able to make calls temporarily.

Can anyone tell me is this Netwrok mode normal?

Update:

Managed to fix wrong s/n via ES file explorer, in the efs folder found file serial whith zeros in it, changed zeros to number from back of the phone, restart device and now serial is correct in phone info.

But manage to mess up something probably in the service mode, because now my SIM is not recognized (If I pull it out while phone is open, it detects that SIM has been removed), and no mobile networks in settings :(

Will try reflash and see if that helps.

Update:

Reflashing stock ITV fw, did not help, still no SIM and no mobile networks menu. :/

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brenner650:
Yesterday I picked up phone after it spent three weeks in repair service, they couldnt fix no SIM issue, telling me it is a software issue.

IMEI of the phone was unknown, same as sn, and csc.

I used Smartswitch emergency initialization, and flashed unikernel and now IMEI is back, but still no SIM, and no mobile networks menu.

Also when I try to turn Mobile data on, via shortcut, it ask me to insert SIM.

So to sumarize:

-tried to turn radio off and on in service mode

-phone is showing network signal

-there is no Mobile networks menu in the settings

-in service mode SIM is shown as not attached

-when tried to select EU band (or any other) in service mode, says unavailable

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brenner650:
well, deleting everything inside efs folder resulted in IMEI 3600000000006 after reboot.

but..after flasing fw through odin, and booting into recovery, after dead android with exclamation mark logo, it does not say dm verity verification failed...check drk, instead says:

*MANUAL MODE*

-- appling (this is not a typo, it actualy says: appling) Multi-CSC...

Applied the CSC-code : ITV

Successfully applied multi-CSC

wiped data/factory reset...reboot system... stuck at logo.

after that in recovery again says dm verity verifcation failed....check drk

after twrp and unikernel instalation, booted successfully, but IMEI still 3600000000006, and still no SIM detected, along with mobile networks menu in settings :/

Only z3x or Octoplus can fix your phone at this point ....you need imei and network repair. Go to 3rd party mobile service ( mostly of them own z3x they will fix 100% and gona cost you 30€ something )

Until you get back a normal imei and sn from backplate you wont be able to get network data...
