How can I update my sm-g925f firmware without connecting to PC? - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone
my phone can't connect to PC no matter how many times and solutions that I tried it just does not want to recognize any PC
and I want to update its firmware from 5.1.1 to 7
is there anyway to update it without using PC & Odin for PC ?
also if you have some other solutions for the PC recognition that I should try I'd be happy to see them
& thank you​

Make sure drivers are installed correctly and are up to date. Can't you just Update Software OTA directly on the phone?

I'm sorry for the late reply
Unfortunately I can't update software OTA directly on the phone
when I try to do it says "The operating system on your device has been modified in an unauthorized way. Try downloading software updates using Smart Switch on your computer or visit a costumer service center"
and for the drivers they are installed correctly even any other S6 Edge is recognized and connected normally except the one that I have​

Have you enabled debugging in developer options?
Try to connect to Odin.
So when you plug it to pc nothing happens at all?

I tried that and nothing happens except that it says that it's charging .. and also in the PC nothing happens
so that's why I though of downloading a firmware and transfer it to the phone via ShareIt and then try to update it just from the phone and without connecting it to the PC​

Unfortunately it doesn't work that way buddy. Can only Update firmware OTA or with Odin.
Is the phone rooted? On about device device>status is the status official or custom?

Plug phone to pc, go on control panel, devices, scroll down to the USB which the phone is plugged in to. Click properties and tell me what it says

So you mean nothing works except charging? Not even native MTP?
Try another USB cable....additionally check the standard protocol for USB at developer options -> USB configuration.

S2 Root Displaying Error Message - Device is not connected

Hello,
Im trying to flash my phone but having a issue
So i have added the insecure kernel but when i try and do the next part (Run S2 Root) i get the following error
Device is not connected! Please connect the USB cables and try again
Im running the following
S2 Root 1.5.1
Android Version 2.3.6
Kernel Version I9100XWKJ2
Anyone able to help its annoying the hell out of me have tried different USB ports get the same issue
Make sure samsung drivers are installed, try different USB ports, check USB debugging in settings.
If it doesnt work again, try it with a different computer if possible.
Ok when i turn off USB debugging on the phone the PC will connect to it. When it is on it wont?

That needs to be on, so the problem is elsewhere. Did you install samsung drivers, if you did, have you tried different USB ports?
I have downloaded the drivers and still not working
Still cant get it to work

yes it is installed. the thing is that I would expect the PC to at least recognize the device and ask for drivers even if the drivers wasn't installed

did that already and even tested the original cable with the Wife's HTC. The cable is fine.
Maybe tried to switch on Another mod not MTP.
Or try to enable USB debugging in Developer options

Hi,
It happened with me too, and there is nothing wrong with the device, its fine.
My friend told me this,
update your Kies software to the latest version, then close the Kies. i mean the kies application should not be running.
Then connect the device and wait for sometime, till the message appears -- MTP connected.
Then open the Kies application, and let the Kies to identify the device.
If it says some error, like device not recognized, then there is an option to debug the connectivity.
Try that option too.
It'll connect surely, but you should be patient.
I think, its the problem with Kies software. I use it only to update the Android firmware. But now, I'm on Custom ROM, so this Kies is no more required for me.

Hereticnine.

Lets assume I wanna simply connect it as mass storage. shouldn't the device be idetified ? I mean it's as if the PC OS doesn't recognize it at all
As if it wasn't even attached to the PC.
EDIT: It doesn't recognize the device on debugging mod either

Correct. Even without Samsung USB drivers installed your PC (I guess running Windows) should show a reaction. At least the PC should report an unknown device.
Maybe you should try installing the drivers manually? Not sure if it's gonna help but might as well try, right?
If that doesn't work either maybe you should try contacting the one you got the phone from. Maybe there's something wrong with the particular device.

OK, one last option. Can a Faulty ROM instillation cause the device not to connect to my PC?
Other than that I guess I should get a replacement for my device.

USB cable connectivity issue

Hi!
Whenever I connect my Samsung Galaxy Win it never shows any connectivity to the computer. Even the USB debugging mode is enabled. What could be the issue?
Thank you!
Does you system has "samsung usb drivers" if not please install it and then try to connect it.

Does your phone used to connect properly beforethe problem, if the answer is yes,
Then you should reinstall ROM as it may be corrupted, i also had same problem but after re flashing ROM through Odin it was fine.

S6 edge brick

I have S6 edge on Rogers network G925W8, and I was trying to root it using chainfire's g925f, midway process My Phone got disconnected from odin and IDK why, now screen stuck and saying "Error occured while updating. Use the Emergency recovery function on smart switch. But the thing is my smart switch app can't detect my phone anymore, it says Unsupported Device. I even try to use kies and kies 3 but they are looking for recovery code, I don't even know where to get that, kies and smart switch didn't give me any code, I even tried software update and initialization, and it's looking for a S/N but I don't know what's the serial number of my phone, I can only see IMEI on box and my receipt. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Problem solved. I just borrow another USB cord, it's just weird all those 3 that I used was directly from my samsung phone package before.. Thanks for the help guys.
I have the same issue. But in my case I hear the USB sound when I plug in and plug out the USB cable, but the Smart Switch does not recognize my device. :/

Okay, you should DEFINITELY check Device Manager and double check that you have the Samsung USB drivers installed. If you have then try the following and let me know if it works:
1. Put the phone in download mode.
2. Launch Odin3 v1.85 (download this version and try it please)
3. Connect your GS3 to a different USB slot than you normally use.
I know the basic troubleshooting sounds very boring, and you've most likely tried the above already, but do give it a go and let me know.

I think you should try using a different computer/laptop, I'm not quite sure whether the problem is because of your device or the computer being used.
Do you have another machine that you can try on?

I agree. Windows 10 may not play ball. Try different drivers and/or a pc with an older version of windows. You must reboot the pc each time you change drivers or it won't detect the phone. Use only the usb ports on the motherboard.
