6.0.1 Woes! - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys
So I consider myself fairly experienced when it comes to rooting my phone's and installing custom ROM's etc. I have been using a custom rom running 5.1.1 android for ages now and it was fine. I got excited that the new Marshmallow update was out so I decided I wanted to try it out. I downloaded the Vodaphone official ROM and installed via Odin which successfully worked. I then rooted it using the Space Kernel and everything is working fine. Problem is that I can't install a flaming recovery onto the device.
It's a SM-G925F and was Sim free, bought it from Carphone Warehouse without a contract attached to it. I have tried every variant of TWRP 3.0.X and every time I get the normal "Is not SEAndroid Enforcing" message but it won't go any further than that!
Am I doing something wrong, I've tried flashing it with Odin via .tar files and Flashily with .img.
Has anyone got this to work or knows what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks

Try the recovery from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...cex-kernel-android-6-mm-galaxy-s6-s6-t3315896
Make sure to flash as AP and untick auto reboot in Odin.

Thank you, that seems to work but for some strange reason when trying to reboot the "System" it crashes and I have to manually reboot it via holding down the power off and vol down button. Is this a bug or is it a problem with just my device.

That's "normal", happens to me aswell. The recovery works fine itself, it flashes everything fine, all I have to do is reboot it myself by holding the buttons.

[Q] Jumping screen problem (After the bootloader fix)

Hey.
I have Samsung Tab 10.1 GT-P7510(Wifi version I think), after updating it to official ICS, instaling CWM via Odin, the screen in recovery mode is jumping.
Searched the forum, found the bootloader fix, the recovery stopped jumping, I rooted the devise, flashed new ROM (Revolution something), and every time the screen is turning off it is starting to jump again, the only way of fixing it is to restart the devise until the screen deems again, or instal the stock ROM to fix it permamently, but it sucks.
The only solution that I found on the forum was the bootloader I already installed.
Can any one help a noob pls?
Thank you
I have the same problem and still suffering from it i did not found any material to fix it. Lets see may be some one will help us...

It is what is stopping me from rooting my ICS Stock version. CWM load results in rolling recovery screen and fixing that with bootloader results in rolling wake-up screen. Have reloaded HC 3.2 and run the ICS update again to fix it. This has been covered in quite a few other threads, but none of them is fixing Stock ICS rooting... CM10 or equivalent ROMs will remove that problem, but I am still under warranty, and if something happens...
Hey guys, FYI I I had the Rolling problems Recovery and wake! but I recieved my P7510 back from samsung repair, I bricked it....and it came back with factory installed ICS on it I swore I was not going to Root or try ROMs for awhile!
Three days later I had flashed;
Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) 2.2.2.1 - GT-P7510 HERE via Odin.
Toldo's "Stock ICS roms, rooted, deodexed, zipaligned UELPL" for GT-P7510 aka the WiFi tab from HERE. With no rolling Recovery or from wake!
Then I decided to flash via TWRP, Toldo's JellyBeanRom ICS v7 from HERE then flashed Yoda's Kernel v2.2 from HERE No Rolling anything I love how my Tab is running now!
I have not tried CWM as of yet but try out TWRP, I didn't get any rolling with just TWRP and Factory installed ICS and if you want a good Stock Rooted ICS HERE!
It's just 2 flashes a way it will take less time than troubleshooting and waiting for an answer!

I had the same problem you are having when I first tried installing pershoot's recovery and bootloader for CM10.
Here is how I fixed it:
1. Flash recovery via odin. When tab reboots hold volume down to boot into download mode.
2. Flash bootloader via odin, When tab reboots hold volume down to enter recovery.
3. Wipe cache and davlik, flash ROM.
During this process my tab would get the rolling screen during the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 screen and wouldn't stop after each step if I didn't hold down volume key during reboot.
Now I am on CM10 with no rolling screen and no SOD.
Hope this helps.

FYI... I flashed the bootloader and the recovery through the PDA slot on odin.
Exactly the same problem here, I tried countless ways but none is working, currently downloading the UK version ICS to see if the same problem will occur or not
EDIT: Same problem as before
What is cousing this problem? Not every one have this but it is pretty common, is it the soft or the hardware?
Trying all the solutions now...
The recovery process described here:
http://www.androidauthority.com/gal...kmod-recovery-5-5-0-4-custom-recovery-102580/
Should install 5.5.0.4, which works for me. Assuming, of course, that you're device is a P7510.

Yes, I have the same problem so I guess everyone does, anyway I'm getting used to rebooting it whenever I need to use it
Anyone tried another recovery program other than CMW here?

Go to http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/roms/cm10/p4wifi/
Download and unzip 4.0.4 booatloader ZIP.
Download recovery.tar.md5
I had to play with it a few times to get it to work but I flashed both of them via the PDA slot in odin. I also didn't change the file name in anyway before I flashed them.
This is what i used to fix my rolling screen which rendered my tablet useless, I still get a flicker from time to time when using the tablet in general. I believe this is a problem with the rom and not with the bootloader or recovery.
Found a solution, not the best, but it is working for me.
The problem was in the bootloader, it was trashing the ROMs, so I installed 5.5.4.0 memoriezed the path to the .zip in the recovery mod, flashed stock ICS, flashed recovery, placed the ROM.zip in the general directory on the tablet, booted to recovery.
It was rolling, the path is
Volume Up (Right) - Instal zip
Power - Enter
Power - Choose zip from internat sd card
Volume Down (Left) - ***Go Back***
Volume Down (Left) - is the last file\dir in the list, if you plase only the rom there, you cant miss.
Power (Enter aka install this)
Volume down x5 times to go from no to yes
Power (Enter) Wait to install to complete a few minets, you will see the color change in the flickering ><
Volume Down (Left) - Go Back
Power - Enter
Power - Reboot Now
The new rom installed, working (For me atleast), the recovery is still broken, but if you leave only one .zip file there you can use this path every time.
This is for desperate ppl like me, that none of the solutions above worked for them. It workes on CWM 5.8.X.X too
Hope I helped.

Samsung Galaxy Player 3.6 (YP-GS1 Europe) stuck on recovery menu

Hi guys, I've got the European version of the Galaxy player 3.6, and I'm stuck on recovery: The home button doesn't work, and I believe it's because I flashed 4.2 kernel by mistake, when on android 2.3.6. I can't turn it on, because it loads up the recovery menu. I have tried to search for this issue but I haven't found an answer, so I posted it here, is there anything I can do or is this dead for good? Thanks in advance

It's on the device.. Uhm it's basically something that appears whenever I turn on the phone, I can't access recovery or anything else, I can get to the part where it asks me to press vol up, but when I let go of the other buttons to press vol up it goes to the firmware screen, and I've tried almost everything, I tried not letting go, pressing volume first then letting go, trying to outspeed it, but it just won't work

So, you can get to download mode? Then you shouldve flashed the kernel first. And then flash stock rom through recovery mode! You dont flash a rom with odin.
ok, so where is that NAND write start showing? if its on ODIN. use another odin version, try this one by androthan http://www.mediafire.com/download/82latn22s1kl7w2/andromint-Odin3-v1.85.zip
built especially for YP-GS1 eu.
Then flash stock kernel by zaclimon. Then boot to recovery and flash stock rom through recovery.
Heres another kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43190038#post43190038 but that kernel is just for that exact rom. And some other features not working. Check out the thread!

So your phone is unbricked now? Pressing Home + Volume up + Power button is the proper mode in booting to recovery mode. Or if you could access internet on the device, install some apps that let you boot to recovery mode (like the RebootManager). The error at the samsung boot logo is perfectly normal!

hahaha uhm, be careful though! I'm certain there's a way to fix it, but since we don't know it.. Would a restore of a back up fix the problem? (curiosity, since I can't even do that )

G925I boots into stock recovery even after flashing TWRP/Philz.

Android version: 5.1.1 (G925i)
Build: DOL5
Stock
I just flashed twrp for 5.1.1 on my edge, everything went perfectly. But when I try to enter the recovery mode, It boots into stock recovery even after flashing twrp.
I have tried odin 3.10.6, 3.10.7
I have also tried couple twrp and philz.
1. Flash recovery with Odin (AP) but *first set don't reboot in Odin*.
Go into Download Mode and flash the recovery.
2. Manually reboot with vol down + home + power. You will see Download Mode again.
Press cancel (vol down) .
At the time of reboot quickly press vol up + power + home.
3. Ready! You should now be into custom recovery!
The problem was that if you let the phone reboot into system just after flashing a custom recovery, the system will overwrite that and return to stock.
You must enter into the new recovery straight away.
Also use Odin 3.10.6
Hope it helps. Let me know.

Thanks for replying.
I tried it, but there was an error "recovery is not sendroid enforcing"
Phone still boots fine.
Okay then. Please follow this link and read very carefully especially posts #1 and #4
That problem is because you need a custom kernel to flash TWRP.
You can also root with this method at the same time.
Let me know.

Is your Knox still intact?
BE CAREFUL! THIS WILL TRIGGER KNOX!!
Well I am very sure that you have triggered KNOX already by flashing TWRP...unless you are using an engineered bootloader.

So, I did just as the guy suggested.
I flashed twrp (without rebooting)
Tried to enter recovery (by the same method as shown in the post)
And am Getting same error, Recovery is not sendroid enforcing.
(I used the twrp provided in his post)
I am already out of warranty, so not big of an issue for me
You must follow all the steps mate.
You must also flash the custom kernel and flash SuperSu.
Especially the kernel you must flash so that the custom recovery will work.
Just follow the all the instructions in the first post please.
Try also to read a bit of the thread so you will understand what goes on.
Try and read the first 5 pages and the last 5 pages.

I did follow all the steps.
See, the problem is that I can not even boot into recovery. I get an error "recovery is sendroid enforcing"
First I need to boot into twrp to flash super su and kernel. But my doesnt want to boot into twrp, instead it saying recovery is sendroid enforcing, and turns off.
Edit: I read first 10 and last 10 pages but have not found anything that could help
Are you sure that you can't get into recovery (stock even) and do a factory reset?
If not you are going to have to flash your firmware in Odin again.
Alternatively you can try and download Smart Switch, install to PC, (don't plug phone yet), go to Emergency Recovery and choose the tab on the right, insert your model name, but then you need your S/N.
This should be printed on the back of the phone. If not it was on a little sticker at the back when you bought the phone.
If you can get the S/N you can then follow instructions from the application.
Best is to really trying to get into recovery like I explained and if not just flash the firmware in Odin.

I think this is happening because I have installed latest update. It could be the only reason now.
Yes perhaps. Have you read 2 posts before that I posted?
Flashing with Odin your firmware will fix it.

Will try. But dont think if that will solve.
Maybe custom recoveries dont support new updates.
Please read posts #174, #180, and #181 on the link I gave you.
According to this it is normal and that user can get into TWRP recovery.
You must look at what you may be doing wrong.
Read again the post #4 on how to properly flash everything and boot into recovery.
So did you get it right mate?
I just used the same method as you and I can get into TWRP.
You must be very quick when rebooting from Download Mode to Recovery.
Change from vol down to vol up just as the screen goes off

No this wouldn't work. But I found the solution and have already made a post about it for anyone who are struggling to root or getting boot loop.

I have rooted my phone but...

Hello, I am new here and also new to using an android device. I followed instructions to root my phone and now I can access the command "su" in a local terminal. But when I go to download SuperUser it says my device is not rooted. Did I miss something? And if I did mess up and didn't install the right kernel, autoroot or whatever, how do I check my android's model number?

On the back either on the better cover when you peel it off or under the battery it should say something like G900T or G900V depending on your carrier and type of phone I'll help if I can just need to know which model you are actually you might be able to skip my instructions below and just go to install super su and that night work but if not just follow those instructions and you'll be golden if you got any questions pm me or just click the reply button and ask and I'll do my best to answer it
Download the rom you want and kernels that go with it depending on your phones settings such as oj4 OL1 it'll say under settings and about device those versions are the last 3 characters in the field (that confused me at first just a heads up) etc etc make sure theyre all the same also don't forget to download supersu (I can't remember where to find it just go on my topic and someone posted the link there
Put them onto your SD card
Download TWRP 2.8.whatever the newest one is on your computer
Download Odin and on the AP slot or PDA click it then find the TWRP file and click that then go under options on Odin and uncheck autoreboot
Turn your phone off and put it into download mode (press the volume down button and home button and power button at the same time) then the volume up button once the confirmation screen comes on
Then flash the TWRP and once it's done it'll Stat on that screen so you have to remove the battery then put it back in and boot into recovery mode (volume up home button and power button at same time)
Now go into the install button and navigate to your SD card and find the super su and click the install or flash button I can't remember which it is and slide the slider thing and hit reboot phone
When it asks to install super su before you reboot don't click install just reboot it since you've already installed it it'll work
Then go in and you'll have supersu and be rooted
Now boot back into recovery and install/flash the rom and kernel and ignore the supersu install thing again and you'll be good to go I also highly advise making a backup if you have the space for it
Ok I have done that, but now my phone is stuck on the T-Mobile logo...

Well I couldn't find that link but thanks for giving me it. I downloaded SuperSU from google play instead. But I started SuperSU and it wanted to rebuild the cache or something and it gave me the options to do it normally or with twrp so I chose twrp. It rebooted started twrp and started building it, then it started back up and was stuck on the T-Mobile screen. But I downloaded a new rom from sammobile.com and I couldn't get it to work then I renembered something about you have to use a secific Odin version, so I went from 3.10.7 to 3.09 and nothing changed, so then I cleared cache and nothing. So, I went to Odin3 3.07 and nothing so I went back up to 3.09 and it started to stop being soft bricked. And I just have to set everything back up, which will not take long, about 2 hours. So, I will download the SuperSU from that site and I will see if it works again.
Note to self: keep the stock rom, damn it's a huge file.

No problem I figured that's what had happened and I used Odin 3.10.6 I think it was and yeah if you do it with the TWRP one it ducks it up for some reason I think it's an old supersu version or some thing and it's not compatible but I'll also post a link to download the stock rooted rom for you to flash

Either or it really doesn't matter me personally I like deodex just because there's more customizability with it but both do the job also if you do the deodex one it'll take about 10-15minutes to come on after you flash/install it in twrp where as regular should just come on like a normal boot maybe 5 minutes
After about a month of making sure it works I have successfully rooted my phone! Thank you very much!

Rooting and Custom Recovery problems...

Ok so.. I am having some problems. Never had many issues with rooting etc before but my S6 Edge is being surprisingly difficult.
it an SM-G925I on 6.0.1 EPIK build
I've tried the Skipsoft tool thing multiple times. But for the love of god I cannot get a recovery installed nor root.
I've had the booting back to stock recovery problem along the way and followed the steps to boot into the custom but every time I go through the options and follow the steps by the time I try, the phone brings up recovery is not seandroid enforcing in RED in the top left of the screen.
I can just hold volume down and power to reboot back to android but so far I have not been having any luck getting root and recover =\
Any help greatly appreciated.
usb debugging enabled, obviously, Knox disabled (had to turn off reset protection to get Odin to flash)

Ok so flashed the autoroot Hopefully right. Used the AP section, booted into download mode and flashed, it was succesful then restarted with the seandroid error But a second or so passed and it booted into cf autoroot which successfully rooted my device.
I guess that's a good thing.
Now all I need to do Is manage to install a custom recovery and find the best rom xD
Thanks for the help so far,
Eagerly waiting for more ^_^

Cool,,
Now download root checker from app store and install it. Press verify root to check.
Easiest way to flash twrp now is to download flashify from playstore.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify
From there you can easily flash twrp.
Hope that works mate

Ok so great news! Flashify worked and I think is amazing.. haha...
ONLY PROBLEM NOW.. is any roms I install don't seem to work. I can wipe, flash and then boot and the phone either gets stuck on the samsung full logo Or the animated glowing samsung boot image. Atleast I think. CarHD rom seemed stuck on the boot image for more than 5 minutes.
Any ideas?

It's normal when you flash a rom for it to take around 10 minutes to boot first time. I'm currently using car HD rom. The first time you flash it, it will stick on Samsung glowing logo for around 10 minutes maybe more. But give it time it will boot. There's a good choice of roms available but check they are compatible first line. Also in aroma installer for CarHD rom select full wipe

Did you flash the aroma theme? If you just flash the ROM without the themes then it is just like stock ROM but with mods like viper, ad away and some good customisation options in ROM control and OTA
There's tyrannus rom, alexis rom, xtrestolite
Have a look on here there's quite a few
