Hey Guys
Since many apps don't support GB I was forced to do update.
After flashing with original JB 4.1.2 everything seems to be ok, but there is no way to turn wifi on.
WIFI icon on bar is half-highlighted, tapping on it gets no results......Wifi tethering not working also
Cache and Full Wipe was done, there was suggestion to flash with "siyah kernel" - also not working.
It seems that problem is related to fault ROM file because on ICS and GB wifi works fine......
Any tips? suggestions?
i9100 without wifi is useless :crying:

Did you flash the correct JB update? Maybe try a different STOCK JB rom from a different region.
Or directly try to install a custom ROM, for example CyanogenMod.
Hi,
I got my P9000 yesterday and flashed the OTA 20160531 over the flashing toolkit. After that NFC settings are there. Later I flashed the OTA 20160608 as flashable zip and the NFC settings are still there. Today I saw that the NFC settings are gone. Does anyone know about this issue or has a fix for it? Using the stock rom.
Thanks for you help
Hi, i habe exactly the same problem. Updating to build 150715 hasnt helped. Any ideas what to do to make NFC appear back again?
I had the same issue when updating my rom. After some days I rebooted the device and suddenly the NFC settings where back. I have no Idea if the reboot helped or anything else.
If you really need NFC you can also try flashing a custom rom such as Eragon V3 (my recommendation) or Aerom V5.
Hey everyone, so my NFC used to work fine all the time, but I think it was since I have rooted my phone and upgraded to MM it will no longer activate. I switch it on in the settings menu or through the quick settings tile but it switches straight back off, and the NFC tests fail.
I'm thinking it might be a firmware problem or some problem from flashing, but I have terrible Internet at the moment and was hoping somebody might have an idea how to fix it without factory resetting etc..
I initially gained root on lollipop and created my own pre-rooted zip to update to MM, but I did have to use the bootloop fix. I have just upgraded again from 575 to 291 with my own pre-rooted zip hoping that might fix it, but same problem and I had to use bootloop fix again.. Any ideas what I might be able to do to fix it? thanks in advance!

I just rooted my phone (Samsung S6 Edge [SM-G925P] running Android 6.0.1) this Friday and I have a couple of questions about using the CyanogenMod ROM and installing Xposed. To note, I am pretty, pretty new (I literally just rooted 2 days ago.
So my question about CyanogenMod is will it run on my rooted Samsung and is it dedoxed? I already have TWRP and SuperSU flashed and installed on my phone.
And my question about Xposed is will it run on my phone, as well with CyanogenMod, TWRP and SuperSU? I tried installing it with the original ROM on my phone, but that provided to be disasterous since it soft-bricked my phone, but I heard that was because my ROM was deodexed.
Hi NovaViper ! It depends. Cyanogenmod and other ROMS can come in two flavors: odexed or deodexed. The one on the official Cyanogenmod Website is deodexed. If you go on Cyanogemod's official website they don't have a ROM for Samsung Galaxy S6 / Edge. Check it out: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/ Look at the left to see supported devices. Unfortunately, it's not there. Some Galaxy S6 / Edge models do support Cyanogenmod but as for your model the SM-G925P there is still no official support for CM ROM. Check this link out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...development/cyanogenmod-13-galaxy-s6-t3269984 Just out of curiosity, why do you want to install CM on your device?
I want to try CM because I heard it offers full customization.. I really would like to customize the lockscreen and colors of the UI especially and because it is deodexed, so I can also add Xposed. I have another ROM atm called Mostly Stock (its based on ROM but its deodexed and have a few changes to the stock UI, BUT it still has the parts I hate about the stock ROM). I specifically want CM because I haven't found any other ROM that offers full customization, deodxed for Xposed, and most importantly, is not like the stock ROM.
Oh, also with CM, I tried to install it but it said my device isn't support.. I tried the one from the link
If you want a full stable ROM for Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and XPosed on it I would recommend this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/development/rom-carhdrom-1-t3111519. My friend has it on his ROOTED S6 Edge and it offers even more customization's then Cyanogenmod plus you can install XPosed on it. Give it a try.
Thanks I already flashed it but I notice that it isn't responsive to touch. I can interact with the buttons but no response to touch whatsoever. Seems like there isn't a ROM that works with my SM-G925P, the edge that rom works with is a G925F
Hmm, I thought it would work on your model. Try this: http://androidfreeroms.com/renegade-android-m-6-0-1-aroma-rom-sprint-samsung-s6-g925p/
I got the rom flashed and running.. but i cant seem to restore my messages from the samsung backup.. i can only get them from Textra (which doesnt export them). Also, i cant receieve text messages either.
Well, I finally got my messages backed up but.. I notice something else now. I had installed Xposed, which ended up giving me a bootloop and I had to factory and data reset, and reflash my stock rom. then I installed TWRP and then Renegade, but the mobile data isn't working anymore. Its just black the black bars.. I can't even find the Mobile Data enable button anywhere. (It works on stock rom though). To point out, mobile data WAS working before I installed Xposed. Right now, I'm reflashing my stock rom and seeing if it works.
--UPDATE 1--
Yeah, the stock mobile data works.. although I do have a theory on what could be going on
Theory 1: It could be I have to install my ROMS a certain way, initally, I had stock ROM, then I added the "Mostly Stock ROM" THEN I added Rengeade when you suggested it to me
Theory 2: Possibily signal strength/proxies (I'm doing this at on my school's wifi)
Theory 3: Something that Xposed has modified and its still there
--UPDATE 2--
I did the first theory and it worked successfully BUT.. I did remember that I had installed SuperSU soon after flashing twrp (which came after i flashed the stock rom).. Now I'm trying to see if that made a difference.
--UPDATE 3--
Ok, so it seems that it is a certain install order (tried with both superSU installed first and without). But I'm worried now about installing Xposed.. as I'm now nervous that it may end up messing up my phone again (It took a while for me to figure out how to get it back working.. as it ended up bricking with continuous looping and even factory resetting/clearing data off didn't work. I had to flash the stock rom for it to work again)
Interesting. My friends all have the International version which is G925F. Yours is Sprint ? Or some other cell phone provider ?
If your model goes haywire with simple custom rom installations and other apps than I wouldn't risk installing XPosed BUT if you do then try to follow these instructions... they work for your model:
https://xtremetricks.net/install-xposed-framework-android-6-0-6-0-1-marshmallow/
My phone is Sprint and I downloaded Xposed from the Magitsk app and it worked without bricking my phone.. I wonder why it was acting up
Strange thing, I seems I HAVE to install the 'Mostly Stock ROM' BEFORE I add Renegade.. the mobile data works to not work at all without installing Mostly Stock first.. How any idea how to fix this?
Well, I tried installing Magisk and it bricked my phone once again.. I'm really confused with whats going on. I have a backup of the stock ROM from SamMobile. What I want to do now is completely clear off ALL data from all of the roms and just start over, is that even possible? Also, if I delete the system files, do I HAVE to install the Stock ROM first, or can I just add the custom ROM and it will add the OS?
Well normally for rooted phones, you only add the custom ROM and it will automatically add the OS. I have no idea why you having so much problem with it. Did you unluck the bootloader ??
Yeah.. (I think), I made sure OEM Unlock is enabled and USB debugging is on.. Not sure what could be causing such problems with my phone.. I honestly wish I knew
What method did you use to root your phone and unlock the bootloader ?
I used the systemless method (installed TWRP, then installed the latest SuperSU which used the systemless method by itself) and I think I did.. there was an option where I had to enable (it was called OEM Unlocking, it was preventing me from flashing)
And I forgot to ask another question.. should I (and if such thing is possible) wipe the system/ folder and then install the custom ROM onto my phone without having to add the stock one at all?
What I would do if I were in your shoes is I would unroot and re-lock your bootloader again... see this article for unrooting: http://howunroot.com/unroot-supersu/samsung/galaxy+s6+edge+sm-g925p/5.0/ Now... once you unroot your phone... I don't think re-locking your bootloader will have any effect... but you can try to relock your bootloader and bring it to the original state meaning factory... once there just follow these instructions step by step: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/skipsoft-toolkit-galaxy-s6-edge-root-unlock-restore-flash-stock-firmware-drivers-more-1517879 Once you root it and unlock your bootloader again, and after your install TWRP, go into TWPR, wipe dalvik cache, wipe system, wipe everything ... and then instlal the custom ROM that I gave you in the link, and it should be working find without problems. Try that and get back to me and update me... if you have any questions then just post it here and I will help you as much as i can.
I don't think I unlocked the bootloader because I looked up the instructions to how to unlock the bootloader and I didn't do that.. all I did was enable OEM unlock, is that the same thing as unlocking the bootloader? If not, how do I unlock the bootloader?
Hello,
I have an issue with making a tweaked, modified, etc TouchWiz ROM (aka BaconOS).
When I debloated, deodexed, deknoxed it with Assayed kitchen (and by flashing a debloat/deknox zip before that), the WiFi stopped working for some reason.
So I tried deodexing and only removing some apps (file manager, camera, samsung store, email, gapps), but that didn't fix the issue.
After that, I tried flashing stock ROM (Nothing changed, extracted using ext4unpacker) with assayed kitchen's updater-script, but still nothing.
Please let me know how to fix this issue.
maybe replace wifi folder from very stock rom..?

It has to do something with deodexing, because when I deodexed the stock rom, wifi stopped working. So the ROM will be odexed (a bit slower)
tried with odex system, problem is with debloating..
Hi, are you seriously making a ROM for this old device? Wow, finally something at last!
Had this device since christmas of 2014 and actively used it as my main device until january 2017.
During this time, I rooted it about 6 times. A couple of times I did it with Kingroot (or was it Kingoroot?) and all was well. But every time I tried to root using a SuperSU root that I found here, there was this glitch that would seemingly trigger out of nowhere, causing infinite "App has closed unexpectedly" messages to appear, along with a black screen behind those warnings, nothing worked until I did a factory reset. Yea, frustrating times...
I have always wondered why nobody bothered to port literally anything to this phone. Not even a (working) custom recovery was ever available for it. There was one that I tried, but was very unsuccessful in trying to boot it.
All that being said, my phone's battery has unfortunately "gone up in size", or "spicy pillow", so I can't really test anything right now.
My phone is the SM-G357FZ running TMZ firmware (Czech republic T-Mobile), and I always wanted to get rid of that and put an unbranded European CSC/firmware onto it.
I support you in your efforts OP and can't wait to test out your work!
Edit: I just discovered that there was an official update released by Samsung in 2021! Have you considered basing your ROM on that instead of the now ancient 2017 ROM?
