Hey guys, I am new to the samsung forums from HTC, I have a G925F (g925fxxu1aodg), which I found to be the Vodafone UK version of the S6 Edge. I am rooted on 5.02 but no custom recovery installed. I noticed that on the rom installations they note to have the latest 5.11 bootloader so I figured that updating to stock 5.1.1 would do the trick. I have downloaded the most recent 5.1.1 firmware for my s6 edge, I have a few questions now:
1) Will me being rooted affect the flashing of the stock firmware through Odin at all? Will I just lose root?
2) Will this update my bootloader as well?
3) If I update and all is well, Do i just reroot and flash a custom recovery?
Thanks in advance

Hi
I am about to root my S6 Edge using Ping Pong root as my build is supported.
Please can someone advise if you can install any S6 Edge G925F compatible rom whether its Android 5.0 or Android 5.1 after rooting with pingpong?
Also, whats is the most straightforward method to install TWRP recovery after rooting with ping pong. Would it be to use Flashify?
Thanks in advance
You started a thread for this? There is an s6 edge Q&A category in the forums. It's already been asked and answered

This is supposed to be in Q&A. But if you want to know, you use flashfire to flash a CUSTOM ROM NOT A RECOVERY!!!! Unless your plan is to trip knox then go for it. But if you want full access go for engineering bootloader
Thanks - Can you install 5.1 based roms coming from stock 5.0 rooted with ping pong?
Only in zip format, not .tar.md5
My phone came with 5.0.2 and I tried updating to 5.1.1 using flash fire and it got stuck in a bootloop. Recovery said dm-verity failed. Had to flash stock 5.1.1 and leave root behind.
Knox stayed 0x0 though.
Hello,
I recently flashed the latest stock build of 5.1.1 on the S6 Edge (G925FXXU3QOLO), and I'm finding it impossible to root with current tools. I rooted older builds of 5.1.1 successfully with CF Auto Root and installed TWRP 2..7.8.0 with no issues. Now, the same tools result in a boot loop.
Any ideas on how to root this build?
I'm looking for a guide for how to upgrade from a rooted 5.0 based rom to 5.1.1 rom and still have root. I know I need to update the modem and bootloader but I am not sure of the steps.
Disregard. I flashed a modem and bootloader with odin and a 5.1.1 rI'm with twrp. That seemed to work
Hello guys. Sorry for my English. It's not my native language.
I flashed TWRP with Odin for my phone Samsung Galaxy J7 2016 SM-J710FN. After that I flashed custom ROM with TWRP and SuperSU. Anyway after that I decided I dont need this ROM and root anymore. I was with the last stock firmware and android 7.0 before this. I decided to install my stock firmware and remove the custom ROM and root and I installed android 6.0.1 which was my first firmware. But now when I go to settings and click software -> update, it says I am using the last software for my device J710FXXU2APK6 and I can't get the 7.0 update which was my software before. I can't get the OTA update. Also I don't know why is it J710FX. My model is J710FN. I know I can flash the last stock firmware with Odin. But I want to receive OTA update. Did I flashed different 6.0.1 firmware. Also my country is Bulgaria and how to find the right pit? Did I killed my OTA updates ? Please help me!
