Hey xda community
I want to get an upgrade from my galaxy S i9000.
So I'm thinking of buying a Newman N2 China Phone.
I've found a bunch of really good custom Roms for that phone.
But the only problem is, they require CWM to be flashed.
I can't find a Newman N2 specific CWM package.
So can i flash just any of them?
Please help

So do you know if it's phone model specific? I want to root my G7106 but can find only info related to G7102
Hi there,
I haven't seen any files for rooting a Softbank Galaxy S6 Edge. Is there anything out there?
Softbank is one of the top four or five cellphone carriers in Japan.
From the android "about" screen:
model number 404sc
android version 5.0.2
baseband 404scscu1aof2
kernelversion 3.10.61-5183936
build number lrx22g.404scscu1aof2
From rebooting into the bootloader
product name sm-g925z
I've seen there are other (I suppose American/UK carrier) sm-g925_ files available for cf auto root, but apparently not the z model specifically.
As far as I'm aware I can't use a non-z file for my z-model phone without risking bricking the phone.
Is there anyone currently working on this? Is there anything I can do / check to use another file or to assist development on this z model?
Many thanks
Ben

I'm in the same boat as you I've been searching on xda and the web for any root access to the 404sc. Got my s6 edge from Softbank too. If you found a solution let me know and I'll do the same. Also what part of Japan are you from?
Thanks again.

I'm staying in Toyohashi.
Just a heads up still have not found a way to root the 404sc but we may be able to flash a unbranded Samsung firmware that would be 5.1.1.
rooting
hai, still can't root s6 edge softbank (404sc) ? maybe this will help you to rooting. Just try with twrp recovery. And use twrp 2.8.6.0 (chinese - zeroltezt).
its work 100% for me.

Thanks dikmutun for the suggestion but to install twrp recovery you have to be rooted first. Do you own a 404sc and are using softbank? If you have have root please tell us the procedure so we can share this with other 404sc users.

Please take a screen shot of your about phone setting with model number and a screen shot of SU installed. Also did you use odin to flash? This is to show root was successful and I will proceed.
Thanks again.

Thanks for the responce so you use Japan softbank phone in indonesia? Is the LTE BANDS the same as Japan LTE? I looked at the website you suggested but was difficult to follow tell your procedure if you can again. If your rooted I don't think you can get OTA now. On a different subject have you found a way to unlock your boooader?
Did you also try flashing the Hong Kong 9250 stock rom for the 404sc?
dikmutun's advice works, thanks!
Update from original poster. Problem solved. I used dikmutun's exact advice below for downloading Odin and the Chinese TWRP tar file.
I got root with no problems.
After a bit more playing around with root apps, I can now tether my cellphone data to wifi hotspot, edit my APN, backup my apps with titanium backup.
Thanks!

questions/feedback please
hey guys,
Glad to see some Softbank's GS6 Edge users here.
I am thinking also of getting this phone from Softbank this coming Nov. 2015.
But I am still thinking about it since I am reading a lot of users having some problems with it especially Battery life, RAM management and Lags.
Since you already have the GS6 Edge, how was it?
Are you encountering those problems or issues?
Would you please give some feedbacks based on your actual usage?
Thanks a lot in advance.

The main issue is battery life if your a medium to heavy user be prepared to have a portable charger by mid day. If your a light user you should be able to not charge until later on the evening. Great phone just the battery life could be better. On a side note if you decide to get it get the gold color looks sweet. Never get tired at look in at my phone!

Hi Primod808,
Thanks for the feedback.
If battery is the only main problem, i think i can deal with it since i am always carrying a powerbank.
My great concern is the lag or sluggishness.
Are you encountering it? Is it tolerable?
I still have some more questions if you don't mind.
What was your phone before the GS6?
How long you've been using your GS6?
Have you successfully rooted it?
If yes, is it possible to remove all Softbank's unnecessary Apps?
I am very sorry for so many questions.
By the way, yes, just in case i'll be getting the GS6, i am planning to get the gold platinum color also.
Thank you in advance.
I have a 404sc model JP Galaxy s6.
I used this method to get root access.
I can detect no problems at all.
I do not use the standard touchwiz **** UI.
I use ADW-EX launcher. by far the best Ive seen

Not only will it surely not work, but it could brick your device. A very bad idea. Your Hardware is nothing like the original edge's.
None of the hardware is anywhere near similar. even the internal of the clones is different.
I don't even think you can get a samsung stock rom to flash on the clone
Why do you want to screw up your nice smooth phone by installing Samsung firmware on it?
thank you!

I want to use a TWRP file on my Samsung Galaxy S7, Model SM-G930F, Version 6. I'm fairly new to this, so I was wondering, from these four archives I found on twrp . me, which one should I use?
Samsung Galaxy S7 (Exynos) (herolte)
Samsung Galaxy S7 (China Qualcomm) (heroqltechn)
Samsung Galaxy S7 edge (Exynos) (hero2lte)
Samsung Galaxy S7 edge (China Qualcomm) (hero2qltechn)
(SOLVED, thanks to the ones who helped!)
Look up the device name in settings under about phone: you will see info in parentheses from your post.

Install AIDA64 app from playstore...
And open that and go to System, search for Device, Product....
then your problem will be solved
In those two one will be herolte/heroqltechn/hero2lte/....
That name is known as codename....
It is important if you are flashing custom roms/kernels also....
Finally download the similar one from twrp.me
Hole this helps

Hey so I was hoping someone could help me root my samsung galaxy s6, I know it's a super old phone but I don't think you need the new one every year. I only want a method that involves using an apk since im too lazy to use a pc. I am running 7.0 and my base band version is g920aucu6aqc1. I have been searching for a while now and none have worked so if you know of one or can make one that would be much appreciated. :fingers-crossed:
