Long story. I have a Straighttalk Galaxy S6 (5.0.2) odexed rom.
Sadly, Straightalk doesn't have firmware updates for my phone.
I have searched EVERYWHERE on google for a custom rom that matches the model SM-S906L but no luck. The reason why I need a custom rom is so I can use Xposed.
According to the Internet, Xposed currently does not support 5.0.2 stock (odexed roms), TouchWiz roms. So thats why I was wanting a DEODEXED rom that will support my phone.
If any on knows what custom roms that work on the model SM-S906L It would be greatly appreciated if anyone gave me some info.
Any help would be appreciated!

Did you ever manage to install 5.1.1 or 6.01 on your phone? I have the same phone on 5.02. Some say you can flash stock SM-G920R6 on 6.01. (but not sboot and modem). Tried but failed.
Still not roms or info on this device

Please, i looked up all over internet and i couldn't find anything. And also, i'm a newbie.
Is there any way I can change the rom of my SM- G900T for the rom SM- G900F ? I can not stand it that T -Mobile bulls**t anymore.
I would like to install 5.0 Lollipop (the stock one) as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance.

you should post in Q&A next time, please. Installing the 900F rom on the 900T involves all the usual steps for flashing a custom recovery and root, and then installing the rom, which is available. But if you don't know what you're doing, you could brick your device. Also, even when done properly, many have experienced issues afterwards (like no LTE signal) and some have had trouble reverting back to the TMo rom. You need to read up before you attempt this. AxAtAx has done a lot of work with this.

Thread moved to proper forum.
So I've just now rooted my S4 OC1 build but am unsure about installing custom roms. Is this at all possible? If so what rom's are available and what procedure do you go about doing this? I'll admit I'm a bit confused by all the technical terms. I've done SafeStrap before, and have been reading up on Flashfire, but am still unsure as to what odexed and deodexed mean. Can anyone offer any information? Thanks!
The only way to get ROM's is flashfire, and you have these options:
-Stang's ROM
-Muniz_ri's Stock Deodex
-Giglie's s6 port.
New to the forums, but was hoping to get some help with this... pardon me if this was answered already...
I am on a rooted 5.1.1 stock firmware on my S5... I don't like it. I want to go back to KitKat or any version of Android that supports Xposed modules... I read in another forum that it's possible to do since (to my knowledge) the Xposed framework is not supported on our devices yet... so my question is simple. What do I need to do to get back on KitKat so I can use my beloved Xposed mods? Thanks for any contributions and if anyone needs more details, I'll be happy to tell you what you need to know. Thanks again.

Just picked up an S5 running 5.1.1 and I'm wondering the same. My guess is since its an unlocked bootloader you can go to sammobile, download the ROM and use odin to install it. I'm coming from an ATT S4 that had a locked BL so this is kinda new to me.

You are correct. But if the only reason the OP doesn't like lollipop is because Xposed doesn't work, why not just flash a ROM? G900T's unlocked bootloader lets you run whatever you want.
Xposed works fine on non-Samsung lollipop roms (cyanogenmod, for example)

I Have the SM G925Z Version of the galaxy s6 Edge [Japan SoftBank]
I See many Roms that say "Works with many g925 Versions !" but the Japanese Z Version is never listed anywhere.
only the F T U V P etc etc versions.
If I use TWRP 2.8.6.0 to backup my current Rom, can I try these other Roms and safely return to my Stock Rom
if cell or wifi service stop working? If I try 5.1.1 Roms, I can not return to 5.0.2 roms?
Can I use TWRP to install a 5.1.1 rom that I download, even while my current Rom is 5.0.2 ?
or can I only install Roms using Odin Flash tool ?
My ZTE Warp phone was able to install Roms from downloaded Zip files with TWRP.
But I am not 100 % sure about the process.

First the s6 edge is a different style of device. To install 5.1.1 roms on the device you have to be on 5.1.1. Same with 5.0.2. Yes you can try any rom from the s6 and the s6 edge rom so long as you flash a special kernal for your device that makes the rom work on your device. If cellular data does not work, revert to your nandroid backup of your origonal os and flash another rom and you'll be good if that one works. Just repeat if the roms dont work or if you get tired of it then just stick with your stock rom which should be your nandroid backup.

Thank you. I can understand this, except for the kernal part, please explain.
How can I backup my current Kernal so that I can return to my Stock Rom backup.?
will a TWRP Nandroid backup do that automatically ?
how do I install the correct Kernal? with TWRP ?
for example, from the ROM installation , it says
[5]Install Zip from storage
[6]Flash The Capsule ROM
[7]Flash arter97 kernel
[8]Flash SuperSU
[9]Reboot
Im assuming 5 means, copy the rom to the phone, 6 means use TWRP to install,
so flash the kernal after the rom ? with Twrp ?
how can I backup my kernal first? so that I can return to my 5.0.2.
and last question, you said I need to be on 5.1.1 to try 5.1.1 roms.
the Japan SM g925Z is a 5.0.2 rom atm, they never updated to 5.1.
most of the roms I see are 5.1.1
Does that mean there is no way to upgrade to 5.1.1 while on 5.0.2 ?
or does that mean, if I flash a new TWRP and 5.1.1 Rom, I can just never return to 5.1.1 ?
Does TWRP Mean Kernel ?
maybe that is what I am missing.
I already have a working TWRP.
some roms do not mention flashing kernels in the installation, some do,
does that mean it does not matter? or does that mean that the installation guide is terrible and people are going to brick ---- if they dont know about it ?
Im not exactly sure the difference between kernel and Rom.
To answer your first question, the nandroid backup you do in twrp backs it up because it is a required portion of your rom. Which also answers your second question as yes.
The answer to your third question is you have to find a flashable zip of a custom kernal for your device. You can also try restoring your boot from the nandroid which contains the kernal and if that one doesnt work flash the custom kernal zip.
Next i need a link to the rom your trying to flash to check it out.
The only way to install 5.1.1 roms is to be on that android version. The reason is that android uses an sdk platform and 5.0.2 uses sdk 21 and 5.1.1 uses sdk 22 so those are incompatable with each other.
No way to update that device to 5.1.1 unless it is released for that device or unless the hardware sources are released for aosp roms which may be a while where samsung has not released them yet due to the new Exynos processor that they recently created.
No twrp is your recovery but it backs up your kernal with the backup.
Those roms are for specific device varients and will work without installing a kernal because the kernal that it needs is for the devices they are meant for.
The others that say install kernals are ones that didnt have the kernal put in the rom zip.

Either that or they didnt modify the kernals in the rom zip to the specifacations that they wanted so they fixed it and posted the kernal.

thank you, that does explain alot.
I am not sure which Rom I should try. None of them actually say sm g95z.
Which roms would you recommend I try first?
I am not sure any will work, they all appear to be 5.1.1 only.
which means my 5.0.2 system can not test any of them.
or more specifically, if I upgrade to 5.1.1, and they fail to connect to wifi or cellular, then I can not return to 5.0.2 I guess.
Do you know of any that are 5.0.2 ?
those should be safe to try I guess.
I just want to get rid of the 500 retarded A-- Samsung apps that auto update.
I dont need Sfinder X_x, I dont need quick connect, I REALLY dont want virus protection from samsung clogging up my performance.
I have read about build.prop tweaks and updates, but the sm g925Z version did not get 5.1.1 updates, so those fixes do not work.
I do have Root access already, but with TWRP 2.8.6.0 (Because its said that it doesnt trip knox).
but I can not un-install these fkn bloatware apps, even with root access.
This appears to be a 5.0.2 Galaxy S6 Edge Rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...edge-g925fxxu1aocv-v1-0-deodex-aroma-t3102974
but it says G925FXX, my phone is G925ZZ
I should be able to test it, and return to my g925ZZ TWRP backup pretty easily right ? since it is 5.0.2 ?
Just to confirm for other people.
I tested the VNRom 5.0.2 for G920F
it ran like S--T.
I used TWRP backup to go back to Stock 5.0.2 just fine.
no problems.

Hello, Have you found any compatible rom?
Hi guys!
I recently bought a 2nd hand Galaxy Alpha Korean Variant (LG U+) here in the Philippines for about 130 USD. I have done several Google-ing and successfully rooted my device (after several attempts and soft-bricks). Unfortunately, I can't seem to find the compatible TWRP md5/tar file for my phone (have tried several files but no luck). May anybody provide me the right one? My device has a baseband version of G850LKLU2CPJ1 and currently running Android 5.0.2.
Secondly, can I flash an international stock ROM (e.g. the stock ROM of SM-G850F) to my device? Is this safe?
Another is that, I came across several posts mentioning that a 2500mAh battery is available for samsung galaxy alpha, will it be compatible with mine even if mine is a Korean Variant? And may anybody provide a site or shop where the extended battery may be available?
Fourth thing is that I am using an LTE sim card and I have known for a fact that 4G/LTE signals are available in my location. However, when I am using this phone, it only registers 3G connections. Are there any tweaks that I can do to use the LTE signals?
Lastly, may anybody recommend a good ROM compatible with my phone. I very much enjoy using cyanogenmod ROMS but haven't installed any because of my custom recovery problem.
Thank you very much and hoping for some positive responses.

Theres a TWRP 3.0 for korean variants made by serenityS. Do not attempt to flash ROM for G850F/M/W to your G850L it will soft brick your device. The only compatible ROMs are G850S/K/L. Its hard to find a 2500mah. You can use 4G switcher available on google playstore for switching different bands. There is no stable build for CM ROM yet, you could try the epsilROM for the mean time.

Hi! I have just downloaded EpsilROM 4.2 and wanted to try it. Can I use the default recovery of samsung alpha to flash it? If not, can you provide the link of the TWRP file that is compatible with my device (I'm can't seem to find it). Thank you very much!
Also, I came across this post

PS:
I have tried the TWRP file provided in the link above, but always see "FAIL" in odin.

Of course you cannot flash a custom rom to the original/stock recovery manufacturers wont be liable for the damages to yoir phone due to incompatible of flashed ROMs.
1. You should root first.
2. Install custom recovery.
Galaxy Alpha (sltektt/SM-G850K). Galaxy Alpha ( sltelgt/SM-G850L). Galaxy Alpha (slteskt/SM-G850S).
Your phone variant is SLTELGT look for the thread of serenitys for TWRP 3.0 i havent tried the latest build of modpunk which 3.0.3
You can flash the above ROM jumbo alpha from twrp if you have a stock ROM. Its a debloated /system
