Work for g925i ??
[Galaxy S6 Edge Android Development] eltoffer:
yes in TWRP /restore/ and look for the YOUR backup not the 6.0.1 and flash the EFS only

no
[Galaxy S6 Edge Android Development] Flash-User:
right, go to, restore, type your last backup what you've done before flashing the 6.0.1 ;) and choose the efs partition, or the full backup :)

[Galaxy S6 Edge Android Development] AdisCZ:
That's the main problem. My backup is missing, so I can't restore my ESF.... I've flashed stock firmware for my model but it Didn't work... Still unknown baseband.. :( I'm desperate....
[Galaxy S6 Edge Android Development] eltoffer:
did you wipe DATA/sdcard? odin don't erase that, TWRP folder should be still there, look if you have a folder named as "0" in your sdcard, if so there should be your TWRP
[Galaxy S6 Edge Android Development] Smaky07:
You can try to use the SmartSwitch software from Samsung and the recovery option. You need to have the S/N of your device (it's written on the back of the device on mine).

I'm trying it at the moment (very long download time).
[Galaxy S6 Edge Android Development] AdisCZ:
Yep, There is no folder.... My backup is gone... F**** it...

EDIT: I have my IMEI code and also SN - Is there any option to write this IMEI to my device?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Android Development] Smaky07:
The solution I'm trying is with the S/N and the Model name (SM-G952F) and the Samsung SmartSwitch software on windows PC. There's is a recovery procedure (sorry my software is in french) on the "plus" button on top. You have to supply your S/N and it download and install the original firmware for your phone and it should restore IMEI information (I Hope... I' still downloading firmware).
[Galaxy S6 Edge Android Development] AdisCZ:
I think that I'm gonna kiss you.... Dude thank you! I've wrote there my SN and now it's downloading and restoring.... I hope that this will help... THANKS!
[Galaxy S6 Edge Android Development] Smaky07:
Download has ended. Flashing in progress... Hope it save me!!!
[Galaxy S6 Edge Android Development] Undermyoath:
Confirming it's working, doing the efs restore is succesfull, and xposed will install, but use the latest to avoid problems.

It's kinda risky because of the efs, but it works, and that's the most important thing imo.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Android Development] eltoffer:
thanks for your feedback i fixed the 6.0.1 file to avoid this issue

maybe ill do a flushable zip for TWRP but dont know yet

Just restore your EFS from your own backup, and it will work. Thats what i did and all is ok now.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Android Development] Flash-User:
Thank you eltoffer.... without restoring the efs all working fine :)

maybe you should change your step by step guide that the efs partition should not be recovered from your backup file :)

by the way.... why it was so difficult for the xda members to provide such a solution to update to 6.0.1 for everyone ????
[Galaxy S6 Edge Android Development] success123:

[Galaxy S6 Edge Android Development] Heriumu98:
it doesn't matter if i have the 5.1.1.? I must have the 6.0 for flashing this?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Android Development] eltoffer:
i updated the 6.0.1 file so now it doesn't has the ESF file thanks its now safe if you do what i wrote ;)

sorry i only own the F firmware

there is no risk if you do what i wrote, i would try to make a flashable zip when i have some more time

if you are in 5.1.1 flash the KERNEL

if you are in 6.0 flash the shoot

its all in the procedure
[Galaxy S6 Edge Android Development] success123:
i have a rooted phone... do i need to still flash the kernel ?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Android Development] eltoffer:
if you have another custom one, it is not necessary it is only needed in 5.1.1 after modding the OS to let the system boot up
[Galaxy S6 Edge Android Development] bulgdog:

[Galaxy S6 Edge Android Development] eltoffer:
Make sure to copy your own backup to your computer, then do a full wipe of system, data then proceed to restore my backup TWICE and then flash the sboot.

Wiping data will erase your apps that is causing the problem

[Galaxy S6 Edge Android Development] angelus0w:
2 options. Flash back 5.1.1 bootloader. Wipe system only then reflash 6.0 then wipe cache/dalvik then reboot to download and flash 6.0 bootloader and then reboot.

Or

Just odin flash 5.1.1 bootloader, make sure you have efs backed up (or you may brick) restore 6.0.1 from this backup over the 6.0 then wipe cache and dalvik, reboot to download mode flash bootloader from this (sboot) via odin and boot. If you loose network etc just restore efs from backup you made. You cant use someone elses so keep yours safe. Backup to computer for double safety.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Android Development] darbishh57070:

[Galaxy S6 Edge Android Development] angelus0w:
Make sure you have extracted 6.0.1 files into twrp backup folder

Odin Reflash 5.1.1 bootloader and twrp recovery 2.8.0. Boot into recovery, backup efs. Wipe system, dalvik, cache and data (not internal data).

Restore 6.0.1 from backup. Wipe dalvik. Flash su if needed. Wipe dalvik and cache.

Reboot to download mode. Flash 6.0.1 bootloader (sboot) with odin. Reboot. Wait 10 mims result.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Android Development] angelus0w:
With odin flash 5.1.1 bootloader you wont loose 6.0.1 rom its just the bootloader and twrp recovery. Then when done with twrp and flashed whatever like xposed, wipe cache/dalvik then goto reboot to download mode and with odin flash sboot from 6.0.1

efs backup

boys, before performing the procedure in the first page, use this program (EFS_GS6_Backup_Restore_v1.0) is you do bakup your EFS. When you finish all the steps and you are on 6.0.1, reset the efs with EFS_GS6_Backup_Restore_v1.0. in this way the data part is working back.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Android Development] angelus0w:
My personal full wipe instructions.

Follow at own risk, what works for me doesnt mean it will for you.

If your base is 5.1.1.

Reboot into download mode (power off phone, hold volume down, home and power until device shows blue screen, press up.)

Connect to computer running latest samsung usb drivers.

Open odin and select latest AP and select twrp file found on page one.

Reboot phone recovery (power off, hold volume up, home button and power button until screen lights up, release hold hold again until twrp logo and release)

Goto backup and select all check boxes!! MAKE SURE EFS/MODEM ARE SELECTED.

swipe and backup.

Reboot phone and connect to computer in disk mode. Make a copy of twrp backup folder on your pc.

Goto

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6-edge/development/g925f-android-marshmallow-6-0-beta-t3293964

And download the rom file and the deodexed patch. Copy to internalstorage "roms"(make yourself) directory.

And from this thred download the 6.0.1 and extract/copy to internalstorage/twrp/backups/devicenumber/6.0.1

Download sboot and supersu and copy to internal storage "roms" (make yourself)

Reboot to twrp.

Make another backup to be sure.

Install zip and navigate to roms and install 6.0 beta downloaded from other thred. Then install patch zip.

Then clear cache and dalvik.

Goto main twrp menu, select reboot then reboot to download mode.

In odin select BL and select

BOOTLOADER_G925FXXU3ZOL6-M(6.0).tar

From other forum. Flash and allow to reboot. (Will take 10 mins).

Once booted. Power off and boot into download mode.

Open odin and select BL and then the 5.1.1 bootloader.

Select AP and twrp

Flash.

Reboot into twrp. Goto wipe and select only system and data. Then wipe.

Goto restore and restore 6.0.1 backup. When done wipe dalvik and cache but dont reboot.

Now flash super su. And xposed (79.1 sdk 23 adm64) if you wish. Wipe dalvik and cache again.

Goto main twrp menu and reboot to download mode.

Open odin and select BL and flash sboot.

Reboot and hope.

Most steps are overboard but i found this to work with no hiccups. 6.0 probably isnt needed but doesnt hurt.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Android Development] angelus0w:
What rom and bootloader are you using? If 5.1.1 then try downloading twrp again and flashing again.

Its my belief that it isn't released yet, you can attempt to extract from official rom, but currently you have to downgrade bootloader to 5.1.1 and use twrp. Again I could be wrong here.

Don't worry if only flashing bootloader to use twrp then flashing 6.0.1 sboot after, your data should be fine. Providing instructions are followed correctly.

Did you flash back the 5.1.1 bootloader? Cant access recovery without it as twrp isnt compatible with 6.0.1 bootloader.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Android Development] lepurushi:
I was myself on Marshmallow 6.0 Beta, but could not go thru the given steps on this original post (for some reason I could not boot into recovery, whatever I did - unchecked the auto-reboot option on Odin, tried the keys combo right in the middle of Odin writing of TWRP process, tried several TWRP versions, but without success).

I did softbrick my phone, hence had to reinitialize with Smartswitch to 5.1.1.

From 5.1.1 I finally could boot on TWRP and flashed the 6.0.1 as per the steps explained. Everything went fine, the battery life is much better than 6.0 (I could barely get 2 hours of SOT and less then 10 hours of normal use) and yes, much better then 5.1.1 . Today it's the second day of full use, and I'm getting nearly 4 hours of SOT. I guess the doze option and the auto-optimization of beckground apps needs some days to fine-tune itself and therefore optimize the overall battery life.

If I can get 4 hours + of SOT and more than 16 hours of normal use in a day, that's enough for me to save me 700 euros on buying the Blackberry Priv (because of the huge battery it has :D )

P.S. the only bug I've noticed so far on 6.0.1 is the 'no network' showing when trying to update the weather widget of TouchWiz. I had to install 1weather app which works just fine.

Another weird thing is Instagram which gets killed quite often when just browsing thru the timeline. Other then that, everything seems just fine.

I come from the 6.0 BETA 1 rooted but I have following issue:

I have done all of these steps but in TWRP, I cant find the 6.0.1.zip in restore. There is only my backup folders. Even if I rename the zip file in one of my backup folder names TWRP cant find the zip file in restore.

When I manually search the file I find it. But it doesnt work to install.

Should I try it with another TWRP version?

or do I have missed anything ?

please help me out.

You need to boot phone. Connect to a usb mtp mode use your pc to extract the 6.0.1 zip into the backup/device name folder.... if winrar or 7zip or whatever you use says errors due to md5. Redownload. Dont use twrp to mount on pc as will corrupt and disconnect.

If you are on 6.0 before booting you will need to go back to 6.0 bootloader. Unzip and flash 5.1.1 then proceed as per first post.
