Odin success but whatever i rebooted it when installing system updates it reboots itself and never finishes the installation, when trying to flash twrp it fails and shows in download mode custom binary blocked by frp, there is no combo file for latest frp lock
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
You're using the wrong odin to flash. Follow the instructions in the OP
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TheDevelopper:
Ok, i'll follow the whole OP CRJ1 Instructions and flash yours
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
I posted cr1 because I suspect samsung slows system down /hurts battery life in their final updates. Let me know how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TheDevelopper:
Flashing CRJ1 was not possible because downgrading from SB3 the latest one, i used ur posted Odin and i flashed SB3 again and it success pass, but the phone failed to install System Updates in recovery and do always the same thing showing no command after rebooting itself, maybe there is a bug with their latest SB3 firmware, i think the raison is frp lock, and there is no an SB3 combo file, and frp lock doesnt let me flash TWRP, If only there is a way to flash it then flash a custom rom to get ride of thi

Today, they added their new CSC1 firmware, i'm downloading it and i'll flash and see how it wil go on, hoping that that SB3 got a bug and CSC1 is the fix
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
I get same when flashing stock, can't install update, goes to 30% then reverts, then reboots into recovery. Then I just select reboot and it boots up fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TheDevelopper:
Yeah, that is what is happening to me, but when i hard reboot it, it shows installing system updates again and immediately shows no command, and there is no option to reboot when forsing it to enter into recovery mode it shows "can t open recovery cause no such file directory", " device is busy" and so on and there are no options, i think it is going to be lost
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] davecotefilm:
Okay, do this :flash cr1 as per OP, as SOON as it's finished, don't let it reboot, hold power/home/vol down to enter download mode again, use the other odin (3.12) and flash twrp (as per OP), THEN hold power /home /vol up to enter twrp, format data. See if it boots.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TheDevelopper:
OK i'll try it and see

Edit: i did it but TWRP failed to get installed, it says in download mode "custom binary recovery blocked by frp lock"

Hello! I saw some guys changing the S6 battery with S7 Edge battery and it worked. This guy got 18h on battery and 4h SOT.

Here is the link: http://www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=1155869&page=9

You can see first the screenshots on page 9 and on page 10 you can see the actual battery in the phone.

I was wondering how can I open S6 safe, change battery and close it like new?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sofir786:
Unibody phones are very hard to take apart never mind put back together as everything is glued together. If you have no experience in this type of thing I wouldn't attempt it as you might risk damaging your phone.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vordhosbnbg:
You can check out my attempt to do so. It is not that hard, although I scratched tha paint from the inside when removing the back - its only cosmetic and not really noticable. If you have the proper tools its not such a big deal - the S7 Edge battery is almost the same size as the original S6 one. Still day 1 with the new battery, but so far it has been 9 hours and barely 25 percent drain. After some charge/discharge cycles it will probably improve even more.

Especially since my original battery had significantly degraded, the difference is night and day.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImWarped:
That's not quite "almost" the same size, the giant bulge created by the excess battery width is actually quite dangerous. All those exploding phones you see in the news, that's what happens when your battery is too big for the compartment it's in. Especially when charging, as the battery expands by up to 10%.

Good luck, and be safe.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IDan1109:
Can you update your battery stats ?? i think after lots of calibration you should have a more accurate percantage right? i read on a spanish site that you need to charge the phone at no more then 2% after a week of calibration and never let discharge it complitely! can you share your stats pls?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vordhosbnbg:
Well, they are pretty much the same, really...

[IMG="side by side"]https://vordhosbn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/15_battery_comparison.jpg[/IMG]

[IMG="thickness"]https://vordhosbn.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/16_battery_comparison_thickness.jpg[/IMG]

As for the "giant bulge"... I would definitely not use these words - as you can see the thickness of the batteries is very similar. I agree of course that this is certainly not 100% safe and of course should be done with full awareness that you are cramming a battery with very chemically reacive metal in a body that was not designed to hold it.

But don't get me started on the whole "exploding phones" bull**** - the media hysteria for less than 100 incidents from a batch of 2.5 million devices was just ridiculous. On a recent flight the air attendant asked any Note 7 owners to report to the captain... I mean come on... :laugh:

I am not saying there was no issue with the Note 7 design, but that was just so much overblown, its not even funny.

I just did the mod yesterday - will update my article after I have several charge/discharge cycles - sometime during the holidays probably.

Regarding the battery percentage reading, a few words - a battery can't tell how much charge it has left - you can only measure its output voltage. You define 0% charge as the minimum safe voltage under which your circuit can operate. So what Android does is that it creates a table with statistics about voltage readings and estimated charge. So after some cycles from 100% to 0%, this table gives pretty good estimation about your current battery charge in percentage. Switching from one battery to another, means that you need to reset those statistics, to have an accurate estimation. Since the file that holds those statistics is in the system partition, this can be done either via some service menu on some phones, or with an app with root access. So yeah - I did reset my battery stats and am still on the first charge (29 hours since unplugged) so it will take some time before I have some accurate battery stats to show.

Well, honestly I had only one day with "typical" activity, since there are holidays, I am pushing the phone really hard, but the actual one day that I was using the phone normally, my phone died after 30 hours of usage with about 3 hours SOT.

The first few dischages, the battery was showing 1% battery for the last "real" 10 percent. Lately it was getting better, but still a bit inaccurate.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] remosam:
looks different that original, anyway I don't suggest this type of replacement, even if is same voltage charging ic from s6 is design to charge a smaller capacity battery than s7
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vordhosbnbg:
Battery percentage <-- Android driver <-- Battery circuit <-- Li-Ion battery voltage sensor

There is no such thing as phone "designed to charge a smaller battery". At least that is gross oversimplification... As long as the batteries operate on a similar minimum an maximum voltage, the charging "algorithm" will be more or less the same, and they will only take more time to reach the maximum voltage (max capacity) and be able to churn more power before the voltage drops to the minimum allowed ("zero" capacity). The initial configuration of the driver that tells what percentage is a specific voltage reading (i.e. 3.85 V = 75%) is specific not only for the battery model, but also changes over time as the battery degrades, so there is constant self correction of this voltage-to-percentage table, which people refer as "calibrating a battery". So even that S6 is configured initially to expect certain battery model, after deleting the old "calibration data" + some charge/discharge cycles - it adapts to the new battery characteristics.

So the battery indicator is pretty complicated stuff - we really can't tell how much charge a battery has left, so we approximate it. And pretty well at that, as you all know.

It is even more nuanced, as for example, when your phone charges to 100% and is plugged in, it stops charging and "lies" to you that it is 100%, when it is silently dropping to the nineties, to minimize battery degradation. Imagine the number of support calls that you will get from angry customers, telling you that their charger/phone is broken and can't charge to maximum. :D

Works the replacement with a Galaxy S6Edge ? So can i change the battery in my s6e with a battery from the s7e?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigworldcz:
Hello guys, I realized this mod. First I have to say it is easy task with lot of tools and heater. After battery replace (original new one s7 edge) the back cover doesn't fit like stock, but almost like stock. If you remove NFC/wireless charging tape then back cover fits like stock.

After few days using my phone I see better battery SoT, but I am not sure if s6 really using whole huge capacity of 3600mAh. I think there is sw/hw limit for battery capacity.

My s6 stays on 1% battery for 30min Sot, and another 30min in TWRP with 0-1% after android shutted down. When s6 is charged says 1h to full, but really time is almost 2h with black screen.

I want to try S7 nonedge battery with 3000mAh and I expecting same results like with s7e because limitation. S7 battery is smaller, lightweight and thicker.

Hope I help.

S6 and s6 edge have connectors on different side of the battery. S7 edge and S7 will fit S6 but not S6 edge. There is no point doing S7 as that is only 3000mah and is same thickness as the S7 edge battery at 3600 mah.

In summary if you have an s6 edge you are out of luck. If you have an s6 flat do the s7 edge conversion.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VedranB:
I've done the conversion, S7 Edge lasts much longer, but unfortunately the rear glass does not fit anymore, there is a gap between the frame and the glass. I have Nillkin Frosted case which is hard case and perfectly covers the rear, eliminating the need for rear glass.

Rear glass will fit fine if you remove all the adhesive from under the old battery and take out the nfc and wireless charging pad. I never used either of them ever so I haven't missed them and the benefits of a massive battery outweigh their loss for me.
