Hi guys,
I'm trying to downgrade my Samsung S6 edge+ SM-G928F with Odin (s6 has decided to update itself) from 6.0.1 to 5.x.
I followed a lot of tutorials but I don't know why, when I try to downgrade it with Odin, an error message appears, "you can't downgrade s6 cause it has a previous software version" (something like that).
Can someone tell me how to do? Maybe Should I do a wipe data and cache before try to install the software in download mode with Odin?
Thank you guys, hope your help!

Hello,
I have been trying to flash TWRP to my SM-G925F and whenever I boot it says: "Recovery is not SEAndroid enforcing." (If this happens I just flash the stock recovery back and it works)
Is there a way to turn off "SEAndroid" or am I flashing the wrong version of TWRP onto my phone?
Please reply quickly because I would really like TWRP!

As far as I remember, flashing a custom recovery gives you that message. It's been like that for years which points me to the fact you're either new to Samsung or new to flashing a custom recovery on a Samsung

normal..which version you tried..
here is the guide

Hello, I am using the 2.8.7.1-zeroflte TWRP recovery for the normal S6 not the S6 edge, would that be the problem?
not if it work..that sentence is normal..as it's because of the system write protection / security from 5.1.1 you have to live with that
It's not as intrusive as In past devices eg note series that I have rooted. And it sure doesn't effect functionality. You'll be looking more at the home screen than a reboot screen (unless your a dev lol )
I am having the issue with my phone.... I rooted phone with a 5.0.1 recovery on 5.1.1 rom. Now its stuck in a loop at SAMSUNG Galaxy S6 Edge
Logo. With Recovery is not SEANDROID ENFORCING. Any one please help.

How I can repair my smartphone if I already made it or it isn't solved? Please help
Hi All
Need an urgent help. While trying to root my S6 edge,India version! I think, I have bricked my phone. Its stuck on 'recovery is not seandroid enforcing'. Its only getting into the Download mode. But I have tried everything so far on the internet and no luck in fixing it. My variant version is - SM-G925I and the firmware was G925IDVU3DOK9.
Can anyone please help me with the steps to fix this issue!
Appreciate the help.
PS: Attaching the screenshot with the 'About the phone' details. Please let me know, if you need anything from my side.
Regards
Deeptiman
im trying to get my bricked s6 edge back to stock and just up an running again sm-g925f
was given to me in bricked state by my 16 year old cousin whom im trying to fix it for...
not sure if its rooted or what firmware it has on it now...
tried allsorts last 6 days, all new stock firmwares from sammmobile etc.
tried twrp etc
not sure what to do or where im going wrong.
odin wont flash any firmware file?? just gives fail after passing md5 part
Hello guys, i tried to root my G925F using the howto without tripping KNOX.
First i flashed the engineering Bootloader without any error messages in Odin. AFter that i flashed TWRP from the Thread and from there on the phone doesn't boot anymore, only the splash screen appears and nothing further. I tried to install lower versions of the TWRP. 2.8.6 , the stock recovery, other bootloaders....nothing.
My phone does not boot anymore.
Is there any hope i don't need to throw it away? Dammit i bought it yesterday and in the Thread was written it works with 5.0.2 AND 5.1.1 but it doesn't work with 5.0.2.
What can i do? If maybe try to flash a stock rom ? I am really desperate, yesterday my Galaxy ALPHA died and now this..
1. try using twrp 2.8.6.1 flashed through odin
if that doesn't work then
2. download kies 3 and then plug your device in, go to tools at the top and then firmware upgrade and initialisation, enter sm-g925f in the model number and then when it asks for your serial number then enter it from the back of the phone. (its in really faint writing) then follow the onscreen instructions
should sort it out
see at the people that flashed it on 5.0.2 it works..
you are sure having 5.0.2 because if you have 5.1.1 it will not boot if you not flash the kernel and the supersu
you can enter recovery..?

Guys,
I update my bootloader and modem to 5.1.1 to install a new rom, I flashed via Odin and pass! But my phone got stucked in the S6 Edge screen on start.
I tryied to flash my nandroid but it was a 5.0.2 rom and I read that the bootloader 5.1.1 don´t downgrad to 5.0.2.
Resuming: The stock firmware 5.1.1 for my version G925I (ZTO) Brazil haven´t release yet.
The emergency recover from Smart Switch try to go back to 5.0.2, but fails in the process.
I tryied to flash an 5.1.1 version from Indian, and UK.
Sometimes pass in the Odin, but when my phone start, after the S6 Edge screen, appears a light blue screen and a Android and begin install. In the middle stops and show the message " Erasing" and the phone keeps rebooting.
Note: Sometimes the same firmware fails in the Odin, and I just flash again and Pass...
I have already tryied to remove the Hidden Img and flash. But goes to the same loop i´ve described.
My hope now is wait for the 5.1.1 for my version (ZTO) and try via Smart Switch or via Odin...
Anyone have any ideas? Thx :crying:

Here is a guide, if you did anything wrong with flashing bootloader + modem. Try it again and read every step carefully and BE SURE TO DOWNLOAD THE RIGHT MODEM + BOOTLOADER! The models are just under the guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60112855&postcount=3
After that find a G925I 5.1.1. As long as it's the right model, it should work. Doesn't matter if it's for your own country.
You're seeing "Kernel not seandroid enforcing" or "Recovery not seandroid enforcing" on the top in red when trying to boot, right?
If so, this should fix it.

Hello everyone, I am trying to go back to stock rom/firmware on my T-Mobile Galaxy S5 (G900T)
I had a recovery, but I misplaced the SD Card that had it, so now I am trying to use Odin to do this.
I downloaded Odin and the firmware from this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmob...mware-t3042400
but no matter, which Odin I use, or which Firmware I try, it keeps failing. What can I do?
Also, now when I try to boot into recovery it says ''Firmware upgrade encountered a problem, please select recovery mode in Kies and try again''
EDIT:
After many attempts of flashing, I was successfull getting Android 5.0 back on to my phone. It turns on and works perfectly, but now I have run into a different problem.
T-Mobile keeps pushing to update to 5.1 / 5.1.1. but everytime I try, it downloads, boots to recovery, starts installing and fails. What can I do about this?
