Update 5.1.1 and Home button - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody I just bought a Galaxy S6 Edge I already own a Galaxy Tab S
I have been Reading a few post about updataing and please let me know if i'm right
to install recover you need a Engineering Bootloader and you loose fingerprint sensor if you install it right?
To update to 5.1 first you need to apply an oficial 5.1 update right to update bootloader or what you need to do?
Does it matter which region I choose to update my phone? on the Galaxy tab s I updated it with any region
And last
My home button only work on the left-middle part if i press it on the right part it clicks but doesnt register? any idea
Thanks!

[Q] Not able to download samsung firmware update on my Rooted galaxy tab 10.1

I do not see the latest update from Samsung on my tab 10.1, could it be because my device is rooted? Was any able to download the new firmware from Samsung on a rooted device?
You are not the only one do notfeel left behind. Im also going through out the same issue as you. I even called samsung and al they keep telling me" is try another time the server is down"

Galaxy Note SHV-E160 Rom

Can I post a rom in the Dev section for the Korean Note?
Gingerbread 2.3.6 Pre-Rooted
Port of the original I717 Gingerbread rom but customized
English Language Support
1: Download rom and Odin from the bottom of this post
2: Run Odin
3: Click PDA and select the TAR file
4: Hold down the volume - key and home key and press the power button until the coal mining mode screen appears then press the volume + button to enter the coal mining mode
5: Connect the phone to your computer click start to begin
I did not create this but spent a lot of time testing it. Before anyone says anything about this not being in the Dev section I figured this would be the right place to put it since the rom is not for the Galaxy Note I717 so I am hoping it is in the right place, but if it needs moved I am sorry. I only posted here so I wouldn't have to start a new post in another section since I was already asking a question about where to post this rom at in this thread. I know its not an ICS rom, but its a start. Use at your own risk I am not responsible for your device bricking. It worked well for me so hopefully you will not have any problems either. Also I uploaded it to 4shared.com only but if you want to re-upload it to another site post the link and I will put it in this post. Thanks to Teamleader and all Chinese/Korean devs working on the Galaxy Note SHV-E160 K/L/S variant of our device.

So eager to try this. I hope there will be more support for this Note variation.
eestite 'The
I understand that there are at least 3 variations of the Korean Note.
SHV-e160S and L and another version. Each one is linked to a different carrier.
To the OP: which version of the Korean note did you cook this ROM for and will it work across all Korean models?
Thanks!

Hi Guys,
I was able to root my Galaxy Note SHV-E160s. I know it is rooted because I can run apps that needs root access. Many Thanks to Tegrak who made this possible. Now the only thing missing is a CUSTOM ROM. Before, they said that it is impossible to upgrade the HTC BlueAngel to Windows 6.5, but it was a success and now an old friend on mine (D-TWO) was able to make android work on it. Before, they said that HTC HD2 can not be upgraded to Android but lookwhere it is right now. Running on ICS and beta JB. Galaxy Note SHV-e160s, is not far from it. If more people will request here, developers will listen. Please let's make this happen.
I want to share how I was able to root my Note (SHV E160s) successfully. All credits goest to Tegrak.

First I downloaded these files
>Tegrak-Kernel-Build-32-for-SHV-E160S-FA09.recovery.tar
>Tegrak-Kernel-Build-32-for-SHV-E160S-FA09.zip
>SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86.exe
>SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe
>Odin3_v1.85_intratech.zip
>TEGRAK app https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...WsubGFnZml4Il0.
The Build number of my Note is SHV_E160s_FA09, that's the reason why I'm gonna use the files mentioned above.
1. Installed TEGRAK APP. (look in Google Play)
2. Save Tegrak-Kernel-Build-32-for-SHV-E160S-FA09.zip on my phone. Should be in internal memory /sdcard/tegrak/update folder
3. Save the file Tegrak-Kernel-Build-32-for-SHV-E160S-FA09.recovery.tar in my laptop
4. Installed Samsung USB Drivers
5. run ODIN
6. Turned off the phone and went to download mode (hold power + home button + volume down key)
7. Connected the phone to my laptop
8. Once Odin detected the phone I clicked on PDA and searched for Tegrak-Kernel-Build-32-for-SHV-E160S-FA09.recovery.tar
NOTE: Do not tick on anything, just leave everything the way it is.
9. Click on start....wait....wait...it will tell you when it's done and you phone will automatically boot itself
10. Turn off the phone again.
11. Go to recovery mode (power button + BOTH volume keys0 and once you see the SAMSUNG name, unhold the power button while holding BOTH volume keys. And you will have the recovery mode. You will have two options, select the second one where it says install from ZIP and look for Tegrak-Kernel-Build-32-for-SHV-E160S-FA09.recovery.tar and flash it. Once done, it will reboot your phone.
12. Go to your apps and run Tegrak Kernel App. Tap on Enable rooting. And will then give you a message where it says "Success! done."
Your Samsung Galaxy Note SHV-E160s is now ROOTED.
Try it, run some apps that needs root access.
Now, let's look for a custom ROM!

I was able to root my e160s as well and upgraded it to ICS using tegrak's files (UG06). one last problem i have though is the 80 character limit on sms. Ive tried the workaround from the link below but sadly it doesn't work for ICS (sms workaround working for FA09) any idea how it can be fixed? Thanks!

Good find. My issue with the 80 character SMS is now fix. I just inserted the micro sim to my friends iPhone and edited the "My Phone Number" from there and walaaaaa! Handcent SMS is not working with unlimited SMS characters!
I did install the koxda ROM, its GB, but it doesn't include google.play and wasn't able to run it. (Chinese doesn't need it, they have their own markets). SMS was working perfect on it.
I later installed ICS stock and worked the sms/mms fix, + handcent and myphone number adjustment... this gives you perfect incoming SMS... but SMS sending is limited to 80 characters. I haven't been able to work network Video Calls - even though the phone menu showing the feature. Then again you've got a rooted ICS working otherwise perfect.
@phonephoenix : 3G is working perfect, but you have to add your network detail manually at, w/ mobile networks > mobile netowrks > (add) ACCESS POINT
@Nikko11126
Did you installed ICS via Kies or Odin?

You cannot get the Kies update due to having an unofficial kernel.
What you need to do is hold down:
Vol down + Home + Power
This will allow you to enter 'Download Mode', where you can flash an official Samsung rom using Odin.

S6 new upgrade firmware home button

Hi guys
Just updated the firm ware on my galaxy s6 today after it kept popping up telling me it was due
Problem is now I have done this my home button does not work
Is there a fix or a way to go back to the old lollipop or another firmware I can use
Thank you

Manually updating my firmware on S6 to Nougat

Hi, i wanted a little help from the pro guys out there.
I recently bought a Galaxy s6 (sm g920f). It was on Android 6.0.1 and i should be able to upgrade to Android 7.0. However, the software update button doesn't respond i.e it doesn't even open at all like no response at all. Then i used Smart Switch. No help there too. Then i decided to update it manually(my first try). Downloaded the firmware from Sammmobile for g920f and when everything was ready then i discovered in the download mode that the device is G920P, not G920F. I almost flashed it. Then i went to check if there were updates for the firmware of G920P. I found them and i discovered that most of the G920P were the American models of Sprint and Virgin etc but i couldn't find any sign of the Sprint/Virgin apps or logo etc. Then it occurred to me that the phone might be rooted but my brother also has an s6 which is rooted and samsung health doesn't work on it because of it being rooted. But my Samsung health app works just fine. I downloaded Root checker and it says "root hasn't been installed properly". So now i'm confused as to which firmware should i download from SammMobile and will it affect my root? If the phone is of Sprint(which i think it is) will i be unable to use my local SIM.?
Thanks in advance.
