[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Nevermind. This comment is deleted

Actually

Try download downloading my bootloader again. I made it public
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] iskender4444:
Why sound coming like creepy from buzzer only on 6.1.1 interesting..
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Have you downgraded to Lollipop yet?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] iskender4444:
i had bootloop on samsung galaxy s6 edge plus here the photo:
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] iskender4444:
and can you share the twrp? and is this correct one?

"twrp-3.1.1-0-zenlte.img"
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Yes. This is The Good TWRP. Are you trying to get into recovery? If not then there is a problem with my bootloader 😑😑

Mind if i upload the New bootloader tomorrow?

It looks like the phone is trying to get into stock recovery.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] iskender4444:
idk and i dont get it why doing this i just re-download twrp official website and still same issue i just flash the twrp but can't enter twrp recovery right know.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Actually i forgot to mention that you can't boot into TWRP on My custom bootloader. Get back in odin. Re-flash stock bootloader in BL Tab and flash TWRP in the AP Tab. Then try to re-boot onto Custom recovery. Tell me some news.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Oh yes. Have you backed up all of your partitions on TWRP?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] iskender4444:
i solved twrp but can't boot same as issue on picture
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
So you can boot onto TWRP ?

OK. I see the problem.

I Will upload my New bootloader tomorrow.

The current bootloader does not allow to Boot onto TWRP and it can't boot into stock recovery either.

Hopefully the New bootloader should fix your problem. It has stock recovery
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] iskender4444:
i have another problem i was trying to flash stock 7.0 rom but gives error same like this.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Nevermind. This comment is deleted
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] iskender4444:
no this is for example man mine was g928c
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Oh. Yours is SM-G928C? The bootloader was made (and the TWRP) was made for a SM-G928F 😅😅

I missunderstood

I hope that your device isn't bricked. 😓😓
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] iskender4444:
nah same as F says on download mode btw just different modem types
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Kasterz1999:
Please can you help me ineed your WhatsApp if you helped me to downgrade my phone I will give you 50$
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Hello. Sorry for late reply. Tell me what device you want to downgrade to. I might help.

Your sir Peter Griffin always ready to serve.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Kasterz1999:
Samsung s6 edge plus sm-g928f
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Sir. Just follow the guide.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Kasterz1999:
I don’t have firmware

Give me link
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Kasterz1999:
Can you do it for me on teamveiw
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
I can't. The PC where i had the firmware broke and i don't have the firmware anymore. Try downloading the firmware on samfw.com and search for the model number of your phone. Then make the firmware with Classy Kitchen.

Firmware https://samfw.com/
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Kasterz1999:
I had one file in firmware it’s ok?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Yeah it is alright.

Is The one you downloaded for sm-g928F? And is it an 5.1.1 lollipop firmware?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Kasterz1999:
Yes but it is one file
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
OK then. Go ahead! Make your firmware
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Kasterz1999:
I have cooked rom can you do it for me please
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
What should i do? Can you precise please?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Kasterz1999:
I don’t know how to flash it
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
You have flashed twrp?

I Think I can remember but not exactly because it has been a moment since i haven't been doing this.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Kasterz1999:
On teamveiwer it’s just 10minute
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
I don't have that.

Instead i am going to tell you the steps.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] shiypc:
is there any way to do this on a regular S6 or non-plus S6 edge
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Bruethis:
Hi, can you make a custom bootloader for note 5 n920c aswell?

because it gets stuck on the powered by android logo

thanks
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] CosmicShrew:
Hi!

I'm planning to try a downgrade using your instructions. Currently, my firmware is g928fxxU5crh4. The problem is that I haven't been able to find the stock Android 5 version ROM for my Samsung SM-G928F on the internet. If it's not too much trouble, could you share the firmware ROM Android 5 with me if you still have it :)

Thank you
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Yes. But there is an easier way for that.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
OK. I will. Stay tuned. (Also sorry for late reply)
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Search the firmware on samfw.com You should find it.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] dave678:
If it's a Korean model then you don't need to do all this right?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] dave678:
What's the easier way?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Here is an downgrade video. It's in arabic but the video is very easy to understand.

Here it is :
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Mcnot12:
Is it possible that you can make custom bootloader for sm-g925f? I tried to downgrade with this tutorial and it didn't work.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] shiypc:
sorry to bother again but near the end of the video he chooses two files but i can't make out what he's saying. what did he do to finish the downgrade after flashing the combination firmware?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] katruisya:
Hi I bought an s6 edge plus for 60eur and I wanna try this guide but I feel like I'm gonna hard brick the phone and I don't want the phone to hardbrick since finding a cheap s6 edge plus was hard and it was my dream phone for a year
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
This guide is safe. (as long as you do everything that is said on the guide correctly)
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
The AP (android processor) and CSC. Do you know what are those files or should i explain how these work ?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] katruisya:
Yes I've done it and now I use it as backup device
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Well... Congratuations ! Have fun on Lollipop !
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] katruisya:
Does the bootloader work on marshmallow?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
NO. Marshmallow does not need a bootloader.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] katruisya:
I found a note 7 port but if I login to my Google account and then reboot it says "custom binary blocked by frp lock" and I assume it's a bootloader issue
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
FRP Lock is enabled in download mode ?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] katruisya:
The only thing I can do is flash stock 7.0, and this issue happens on the stock bootloader
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
But have you downgraded to 5.1.1 Lollipop First ?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] katruisya:
No. I flashed stock 7.0 nougat then the note 7 port within twrp
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
I suspect that this is the rom which is broken. I will do soon a port of the Note7 Grace UX ROM on the device. But 7.0 nougat on the S6 is pretty much the same.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] katruisya:
Well idk why but I just don't like stock 7.0 even though it's the same as graceux on note 7
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] katruisya:
Also I found another note 7 port and I'm about to test it
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
If it doesn't work at least, you can still downgrade to 5.1.1
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] katruisya:
I tried it and it has same issue
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Prowindows62:
Try installing it again, then enable Developer Options and check OEM unlocking (on Note7 port ROM), if it's unticked, tick it and try again.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] katruisya:
It worked but the phone overheats alot, it reached 70c on idle
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Prowindows62:
It's normal on Exynos 7420 devices I think, I have a Note5 (with stock ROM) and its 65-70°C on idle.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] katruisya:
S6ep is exynos 7420
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Prowindows62:
Oh, I accidentially said it has Exynos 4412, thanks for informing me.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] katruisya:
Can you make for SM-J330FN and J330F?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Which devices are they ?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] katruisya:
Galaxy J3 2017
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
No problem, i'm on it. (P.S i think i found a way to get stock recovery on Galaxy S7 on 6.0.1 but not sure about it.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] katruisya:
Hi any update? By the way i reflashed my s6 edge+ to 5.1.1 and now i have an issue that it randomly turns off when i put it to sleep
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Well... I have no idea maybe the battery ?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] katruisya:
I didn't have this issue on one ui rom
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
I don't know it worked perfect on my S6.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] katruisya:
any update on the j3 situation?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Do you have custom recovery on it ?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Or for it ?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] katalt:
In your guide you mention the requirement of installing a custom bootloader, since this guide should technically apply to all S6 variants, how'd you create a custom bootloader, would like to know since i wanted to perform the same process on the G920F
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Do you want to downgrade to 5.0.1 Lollipop?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] katalt:
yes, of course
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
I suppose the binary on your device is U6 so the bootloader is for a Galaxy S6 Binary 6
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Tell me if it works. You can send screenshots too.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] katalt:
mine's on binary 5 as it hasnt been updated that far, but i'll try anyway
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Ok.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] katalt:
Works, 5.0.2 firmware installed with the custom bootloader you have created, obviously fingerprint doesn't work but you have already mentioned that.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Yeah, i know this finger print issue is pretty annoying but i tried to flash every single CM.BIN as ever possible but no luck it did not work. The CM.BIN is the file that is used for the fingerprint scanner and other crediential stuff.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Anyways, have fun on Lollipop :) maybe i might buy a regular Galaxy S6 just for the sake of nostalgia.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] miszkxnx:
Can you make a custom bootloader for Galaxy S6 Edge (G925F)?? I can't seem to find any on the internet, nor do I have any knowledge on how to make one
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
You want to downgrade to 5.0.2 as well ?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] miszkxnx:
Yes, I also tried the "easier way" to do it, but I didn't succeed so i'm just looking for a custom bootloader
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
OK.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] miszkxnx:
I'll try that one, thanks!!
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] miszkxnx:
I installed it by odin, just like in the guide, but it seems that it's stuck on the boot logo and it has some green text on the screen; ASV TBL VER = 15

ASV TBL VER2 = 4381

ASV big:10 LITTLE:10 G3D:10 MIF:10 INT:10, CAM_DISP:10

that's what it says, i'll try with a diffrent firmware again, and i'll share if i succeed
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Have you flashed Lollipop firmware first ? From TWRP ?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] miszkxnx:
Yeah, im trying again right now
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Then that's problematic. Why it doesn't work on certain devices ? They are all the same !
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] miszkxnx:
It turns out that I accidentally downloaded the 5.1.1 version instead of 5.0.2, but now that I installed 5.0.2 it works!! Thank you for the bootloader im so thankful!!!
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Ok, then have fun on 5.0.2. Can i have some screenshots ?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] miszkxnx:
Of course let me just take some
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
OMG TouchWiz 5.0, my dream 🤤, i love touchwiz compared to One UI 🤮.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] miszkxnx:
Agreed!!
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] miszkxnx:
BTW, do you know how can I get Android 5.1.1 on it? Most of the apps aren't compatible with 5.0.2 I think
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
The best soultion would be buying a Galaxy S6 edge+, again not sponsered or anything. Or you can try again with 5.1.1.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Just the only one thing i can reproach to Touchwiz, (and this is still a common thing now with one ui) is the insane amount of bloatware. I don't mind bloatware but i see many people complaining about that.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] miszkxnx:
Okay,but I think the issue would be he binary versions, tho Idk if that's the case, but Ill try again anyways
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] miszkxnx:
I don't mind it too, if its annoying I just debloat with a PC
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
You can downgrade to 5.1.1 Lollipop as well on the S6e+. This guide was originally meant for this device but i realised it worked on other S6 variants as well.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Yes. Good thing classy kitchen exists. And i honnestly don't mind bloatware either.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] miszkxnx:
I suppose i'll try again but instead of bin 3 ill do bin 2 maybe it'll work
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Probably, i hope so.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Do you know anybody who owns a Note5 and can test this downgrade guide ? I want to know if it's possible on the Note5 as well. Even if i know that the Note5 was never released to europe.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] miszkxnx:
I don't sadly, tho I think it'll work on the Note too but im not sure
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Ok then, maybe i will buy one to test.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] miszkxnx:
Cool!! It's my dream phone actually // The 5.1.1 version is still deodexing soo just a matter of time until we see if it boots
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] miszkxnx:
Yeah, just as I thought the 5.1.1 doesnt work on it sadly
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] katruisya:
yeah
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Mephone4:
Hey It work also On S6 Flat aka SM-G920F ?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Yes. As the title says it works with every variants. Except the US Snapdragon ones.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Mephone4:
but when im try odin the last Bootloader say Fail
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Why y'all have different problems ? We have all the same model.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] katruisya:
are you able to do a samsung experience 9.0 s7 port for the s6 edge plus? btw about the j3 i sold it as i didnt want it
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Well, i don't have my S6 edge+ on me right now. That being said, if i ever make a samsung experience ROM for the Galaxy S6/S6 edge/edge+ or even the Note5, i would use 7.0 Nougat instead
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
And for the S6 edge+/Note5 i use the Note FE Noug
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] katruisya:
Try lineageos kernel android 8.0 and maybe it boots up
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] katruisya:
https://github.com/universal7420/android_device_samsung_zenlte/tree/bliss-q this
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Mephone4:
sorrry too late but say SECURE CHECK FAIL (BOOTLOADER) also odin say fail
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
I'll try with Nougat anyways, i want to port Samsung Experience on them anyways. But not change the android version
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
What did you do? What firmware did you used?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Mephone4:
SM-G920F 5.1.1 G920FVFG2BOF2
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Bro... If your smartphone was on Binary 6, 7.0 Nougat, then re-install the nougat firmware! You can't downgrade like this from odin
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Also, you can't downgrade to 5.1.1, you can only downgrade to 5.0.2 Lollipop
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Mephone4:
oh i try it later bcz idk why the stupid S6 bootloop
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Mephone4:
i do it on tutorial but fail the Odin Add bootloader from you patched but say fail
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
JUST FLASH STOCK NOUGAT
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Download this firmware There are five files. Install all five of the files
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] NobelTech:
Hi there,

Would it be possible to please create a custom boot loader for the SM-G920I (Galaxy S6)? Was able to do everything up to that point due to Odin giving an error. It's also on Binary 4 btw
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Oh wait, you are NobelTech from youtube?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Try with that one but there's no promesses that it work
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] NobelTech:
Yep that's me indeed!

And no unfortunately the test boot loader tar file doesn't work (just tested it this morning). I believe the boot loader needs to be an actual one from a SM-G920I instead of a G920F it seems
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Ah, man, that sucks. And i hate failing. Do you have another variant with exynos perhaps?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
Or do you have another device like a Galaxy S7? Or even S7 edge?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Prowindows62:
Try extracting sboot.bin from G920I Combination firmware and replace the custom bootloader's sboot.bin with G920I combination firmware's sboot.bin (with something like 7-Zip).
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ General] Peter Griffin:
The thing is since his phone is on binary 4, he cannot use the combination because there is no binary 4 combination firmware. So that would be useless

Hello everybody?

This is my first post here, to tell You something.

I have been surfing in XDA for a wile now, and your discussions and experiences have helped me out a lot. So I think it is time to be polite and say Thanks !

My first smartphone was a long time ago, the brand new Dell Streak with Android Froyo out of the box, then upgraded to Gingerbread. I fell in love with Android (a long time ago).

I am not a programmer, but love tweaking around by using tutorials, videos, forums and so on.

Until soon and

Always keep going, because You never know what's catching up with You!
[Google Pixel 7a] kraftwerksfit:
Just got 7a from google store online (no carrier lock), coming from OP7 pro on Android 10 been running without navigation pill or status bar... (well it was invisible? if icons were hidden) used System UI tuner for that phone.

Seems every command I want to use in System UI tuner is broken in Android 13 on this 7a device because I can't get immersive mode or transparent "pill" nav to work...

Read ADB commands stopped doing these commands a while back as well. I don't care to do much more to the phone but get immersive full use of screen. I would also like to get rid of date and time on home screen and the google widget at the bottom of home screen BUT not a priority.

Haven't had to root a phone in ages.... is this the only way I am going to accomplish this? If so is there a guide to follow to get this end result? Apparently I'm a born again noob.

Thank you to anyone for insight

[Moto G 5G Questions & Answers] whitedavidp:
I have a new XT2113-2 (TM) that is yet to be boot loader unlocked/rooted/etc. I don't want to do that until I am sure. I got this variant of the phone so I could unlock the bootloader, root, TWRP, etc and was afraid the "global" variant -3 might not work with USA 5G. The phone came with Android 11 installed (and has since auto-installed at least one security update). It shows the build as RZKS31.Q3-45-16-3-11 and the baseband ends with Kiev_TMO_CUST. I am using it on ATT (via Red Pocket) since TM service just sucks where I live. And I do get the 5G icon on it now.

But ideally, I want to get this to the original TM Android 10, which I think is shown here as the file XT2113-2_KIEV_TMO_10_QZKS30.Q4-40-95-6_subsidy-TMO_SPR_RSU_QCOM_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip as I hope it will undo some of the "security" crap Google has added to Android with each successive release.

So I need to be sure of the following:

1. Can I downgrade from 11 to 10?

2. Is there some reason to NOT use the firmware mentioned above? Should I use retail US (RETUS) instead? I am not sure the differences (it would be great if that would permit me to use this phone on Red Pocket Verizon but the IMEI now shows as incompatible on Verizon).

3. Must I unlock the boot loader to downgrade? I know I must to do other stuff and I have the unlock code on hand and ready to put it if needed. If I must unlock the boot loader to downgrade, will I have to re-unlock it afterwards? And, if so, will I have to go through the same process of getting a code or will the code I have now work?

4. How do I flash to do the downgrade? I have the Lenovo Rescue/Smart Assistant installed on my PC and was able to download the stock firmware (I assume it matches what is on there now) and stashed it aside. But is there some other tool needed?

5. Once I achieve downgrade, what is the best way to avoid having the thing auto-update to Android 11?

Thanks for your help with these questions.
[Moto G 5G Questions & Answers] RETIEF:
If you are going to take this phone to AT&T, you will not get 5G if you unlock the bootloader. The NR band will be restricted. Downgrading from 11 to 10 generally doesn't work either.

I can't answer the rest of your questions.
[Moto G 5G Questions & Answers] whitedavidp:
Thanks for this response. I do have it on ATT (via Red Pocket) now and it does appear to get 5G now. I have not yet unlocked the bootloader, was thinking to do it, but considering that it would cause loss of 5G I think I will not and will just return the phone. Wow!
[Moto G 5G Questions & Answers] whitedavidp:
BTW - have you any references on this behavior? I am wondering if this is something that would affect ALL phones with unlocked boot loaders (like Pixel, OnePlus, etc). Thanks for the heads-up.
