I got a galaxy s6 live demo unit. It updated from 5.0.2 to 5.1.1. Can I use the unikernel root on it? Or will it be the wrong kernel and brick? If you've tries this, your input would be appreciated.
Help please
Same here, I've tried a g920i root, but didn't succeed.
maybe i can help you guys in other way ... i will tell you my story what i did on s5 demo and note 4 demo
ive downloaded stock firmware and i ve installed total comander to be abble to delete inside the package ...
maybe you try g920f firmware , open with total comander and delete everything expect : system , recovery, hidden , cache , boot
I have succeeded in rooting and installing a previous demo unit S6 but that was one 5.0.2, I don't know if the unikernel will work for my 5.1.1 demo unit...

What happened then? Did it brick? How did you unbrick it if it did brick?

Brick and unbrick.... wow brick is used for every issue with the device since 2014 it seems. :silly:
TLDR - if you install incorrect kernel, you won't be able to boot, but still can get into Downloader mode (or recovery) and flash the correct one.
Thanks. How would I flash the correct kernel for my demo unit if it went wrong? Where can I get it?

That's the issue, I did not see any firmware for the X (demo unit) - probably because it is not intended for customers.

It's easy, just follow these intructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61976594&postcount=2
It works with every ROM available for S6. Just remove the .bin files with cygwin.
I tried the g920i 5.0.2 ROM & a french 5.1.1 ROM, both worked via Odin/download mode.
However, still wondering how to get this one root.
I would prefer to root it... Just to delete the demo software.
Anyone backed up stock demo unit kernel?

When I first flashed the G920i stock rom, I still had the bloatware of the demo unit. Then I reflashed with a french version of G920F, and read somewhere that wiping all the data from a device makes it faster, so I did it. Result: No bloatware nor anything demo-related. The only bloatware I have is 3 MS apps (Skype, OneNote & Onedrive.).
I hope it'll help you..
Nice, so how much free space is it showing you have now?
Before I flashes ROM I should enable USB debugging right? And have you tried to root with unikernal? Any problems with the fact that with a stock ROM demo unit will constantly be searching for a cellular signal?

I had it activated, but not sure if it is imperative.
After wiping all the data, I had 19,xxGO available, something close to 20gb.
Concerning the cellular signal, I just turn on the "offline mode", something like the airplane mode in the iPhone, which unactivate the cellular signal.
Lastly, can you enlighten me about unikernal,I may give it a try.
Certainly, here is the guide for rooting with unikernel:
http://androiding.how/how-to-root-galaxy-s6-on-android-5-1-1-all-variants/
I'd be very grateful if you gave it a try and tell me how it goes.
Did you try it?

Hi there. Which french 5.1.1 rom did u use? Surely it can't be g92o2 because this model only covers the southern hemisphere. I've got a demo unit as well (Lr22g.g920xidvu1aoc6) and it seems none of the g920i 5.1.1 stock firmware is working, even without the bin files (cm, shoot, and modem).
Have you got( or was) ur demo unit the same model and build? If so, which french firmware with lollipop 5.1.1 did u use on Odin? Couldn't thank you enough. And I suspect a lot more people here would do the same. Thanks.

I used that ROM: http://www.phonandroid.com/forum/fi...lipop-samsung-galaxy-s6-sm-g920f-t125135.html
Just make sure to follow the instructions of cygwin & odin.
At first it didn't work after several tries on my pc, but at the first try, it worked on my brother's PC. So if it doesn't work try to change the PC or the cable.
Here is what it looks like: http://i.imgur.com/rMIkSP3.jpg

How did you managed to wipe data? As far as I know, LDU doesn't allow factory reset.

So far as I know, flashing stock samsung firmware will NOT trip Knox
If it trips Knox, then it will be up to the repair centre the phone goes to and the carrier, regardless of EU, UK or any other LAW as Knox trip does invalidate warranty. Just because you are lucky enough to get a phone fixed after it's had custom software on does not make it the norm. And if you're refused warranty, good luck challenging it, Europe or not.
As for going back to 5.1.1 I heard it wasn't possible without breaking Knox.

Have you had any luck? I want to as well because my battery is draining like 40% faster now that I upgraded. That and there's a few bugs that I can't get rid of that bother me quite a bit.
I've tried the various guides online using Odin3 and the ROMs from SamMobile but I can't get it to not fail. I've factory restored it multiple times and tried all of the updates to Odin 3.10. I can't get any of it to work and It's making me mad! I've tried two different PCs, made sure the drivers for reading the phones are updated and even multiple USB cords! I just want Lolipop back so I can enjoy my phone and not have it be dead halfway through my day!
I have some problems with touch and want to try downgrade, how?

Hi,
Flashing ROM from sammobile never worked for me. This is what I did.
Download the latest 5.1.1 bootloader, modem and TWRP 3.0 for your model. Flash them in odin after putting them in respective locations. If successful, the phone boots into recovery, where you can restore a 5.1.1 backup if you have any. If you don't have a backup, see that you have a ROM file ready in the phone to flash.

http://justforprogrammers.blogspot.com/2015/12/downgrade-from-marshmallow-to-lollipop.html?m=1
I think, point is from WHICH 6.0.1 to WHICH 5.1.1- generally some combinations work.
Somebody knows which??
Downgrade not work for me, bootlop, no recovery mode for wipe after flash, only download mode. Knox not trip.
Got myself in a bind. Bought a new Note 5 today to upgrade to 64GB. Forgot to OEM unlock, and the phone is bricked for the moment. The new image N920TUVU3DPG1 isn't available to download yet. Any suggestions, or does anyone know where the new image can be found yet? What a rookie mistake! Smart Switch in emergency recovery tries to flash N920TUVU2DPD1 and fails. Downgrading doesn't work either.
same here. where can we get it from?

Just downgrade to an older version via Odin if possible. It can be done on Verizon so I don't see why not on yours.

You have to make sure you have the correct firmware! You should be able to see which one is already on the phone while in recovery mode.

Hope u fixed ur problem, I'm still on Note 4, was waiting for u to fix the new firmware for us last month, and now we just got another one, so shocked Samsung is actually taking care of the Note 4 N910T,
My rom boots up, but can't see sim card, external storage, wifi doesn't connect and so forth, I guess they did something with the new MM that @dsixda kitchen doesn't work correctly somewhere anymore,
need to learn Ubuntu, not easy with no help,,, I made an external drive with 16.04 but need to java development and figure the rest out, not easy with 2 kids.. and wifey..
and u r also in FL, by the way thanks for the updater script for the past v5.1.1 roms we had...
Samsung keeps raising prices on these phones, ridiculous no reason the new Note 7 will be $849 cause they r only making egde style phones.
I'm glad they pushed me to my limits, first it was HTC, I had all the HTC phone till M7, for when they had the first tmobile dash windows phone.. haha..
don't know whats next, maybe crapple... no rush since the note 4 is still rocking good,
but the Note 7, water resistence is awesome is the only kool thing I guess.
Seems like I'm having the same problem frp lock and drk has anyone found a solution yet. I can't seem to find any way to fix this yet. Appreciate any help in advance
I could help with this issue, just let me know if you need my assistant I would have to remotely do this to accomplish this thanks..
Hi. I'm finally can root my SM-G920R6. I use the KingRoot.apk the v4.80 and root the phone. But it's not full root. Them I use the SuperSuMe.exe on my PC to remove all the KingRoot app and install the official SuperSu.apk The program install it's self. And now we can install the correct binary and reboot the device and don't lose root... ohh and my Knox still 0x0... =) XD:laugh: :victory: :highfive:
Links:
●KingRoot v4.80
●SuperSuMe. for PC
Sincerely I don't know if full root or not. But for me is working. And other things I don't know is full knox disabled. The SuperSuMe block the knox in one of the process but I don't know if is disabled at all or not.
I wish this can't help all the SM-G920R6 user. And don't want to avoid the knox warranty.
The only thing you can see is every time you BootUp your phone it say Custom.
The next thing I'm going to do is make a full backup with FlashFire app because mi firmware not appear in SamMoblie. If one Dev can make something with this backup for make custom roms or something good for this devices model.
my phone info:
Android Version : 5.0.2
Baseband : G920R6WWU1AOE4
Build Number : LRX22G.G920R6WWU1AOE4
Hardware Version : G920R6.02
I'm not a good English speaker so I apologize my errors..
P.S.
Sorry I'm not a Dev. this is my first Thread and I do this for helping.
This is a little off topic for the op but I really need help right now.. I rooted with CF autoroot for G920F no problem then installed TWRP 3.0.2-1 zeroflteusc also built for G920F model and in the process of trying to find a better rom as soon as I had a custom recovery, me (being a dumba**) accidentally wiped my internal storage to do a clean flash of a rom therefore deleting the only backup I had. I've only been able to find the factory binary for this device which I flashed but it had literally nothing exept for basic testing software and a simple ui to run it. It was also stuck on Android 5.0.2 but I found a compatible rom with AllianceROM v1 with update v2 flashed for the G920F but I can't find any way to update past 5.0.2!! I've been trying to find a way to update somehow for weeks but nothing is compatible with my device and I'm stuck. Would someone that has my model running on Android 5.1.1 or 6.0/.1 please install the TWRP I mentioned before and make a backup of the system, modem, efs, and boot and post it online or send it to me it would be a lot of help.
Reasons I hate you I guess ?

Because my device is G920R6 originally and i want it back the 920F rom is barely compatible with my device as is and i want a stable rom made for my build and also to enlighten others of how i rooted this phone and what custom recovery is working for me. Even on 5.0.2 and an unstable rom my battery lasts 6+ hours of constant use so root is working fine for me.
So much hate.
yeah i see now this model phone is the ugly duck....
But some one have the factory firmware of this model flashable with odin. Thanks a lot.

Any thoughts?
You can try a factor y reset and or stock firmware
Reinstall. Sometimes stock can be broken as well.

Also, which order do I flash them?
You put ap bl and co in respective slots in Odin. And I use the home csc in csc slot. Flash all together
You won't use the user data

So I tried this and wifi still isnt turning on. Am I missing something?
If software didn't fix. Then it's a hardware issue. But In my life I've seen out like 5 times or so

You can try a factor y reset and or stock firmware
Reinstall. Sometimes stock can be broken as well.

So what can I do about it

Only other thing I know to do is try a couple firmwares and maybe one of the combo files around. If none of that works then a ram with Sammy may be the only option. As this is about everything you can try on your end.
Unless some one else wants to chime in with something I didn't think of.
Ps I had this happen on my LG g3. Camera could not connect. Flash many roms. Flash this that. Nothing. And all because they used apparently the same base I had. I bricked. Or something downloaded a new firmware from a new site and flashed and bam. No camera issue from there on out
Well... I've been an idiot.
I recently rooted my Galaxy S7 device whilest scanning the xda threads for a custom ROM.
I flashed Lineage OS 15.1 custom ROM. Everything awesome so far. Except... I didn't like the visual estate of the ROM.
So next step, I flashed the Superman ROM 3.0.1 FINAL. this is where things went wrong.
When i booted up my phone after flashing Superman ROM I lost my IMEI & baseband (both say "Unknown").
I tried to flash stock ROM and ended up with 2 "unknown" IMEI's whilest my phone is a single SIM device.
After that I wiped the lot, flashed Lineage again and still no luck. Although with lineage I have my single IMEI which is still "Unknown".
I've tried flashing stock the correct stock roms but whenever I try to flash the via Odin I get a fail after "sboot.bin".
Odin won't go any further.
So in short, I currently have my device unlocked, rooted, with lineage OS15.1 but no cell service due to
IMEI and baseband being "Unknown".
Any idea's how to fix this?
I've tried the guide with the title "[GUIDE] How to fix IMEI / DRK issues [ALL MODELS][COMBINATION UPDATE 03 NOV 2017]"
But no luck. I can't flash stock firmware due to fail after "sboot.bin" both with stock firmware and the combination file
given in the thread.
Now as part of me being an idiot, I have not made an EFS or baseband backup, nor have I got a Smart Switch backup.
I'm also not capable of finding a person with the Z3Xbox.
Kind regards!
Did you try this https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/help/guide-how-to-fix-efs-damaged-samsung-t3850032
Thanks for the reply! Yes,I've tried that guide too. Problem is that I can't flash anything but twrp through Odin. All the rest fails at "sboot.bin". I'm still trying to download latest stock firmware but all the sites are sooooo slow if you don't pay premium... So I'm still waiting for that file to download. I've tried to flash older stock firmware but didn't get past " sboot.bin" and I've read somewhere that since Oreo Samsung doesn't let you flash old firmware on the phone. So that is at the moment my only hope that I can think of.
Make sure you have the latest version of Odin...you can use updato for faster downloads

I've used different versions of Odin (v3.12, v3.13, v3.11) and I can only download at 50kb/s with updato. They changed there policy. Donate for premium download speed.
I also went to a repair shop today to ask if they knew any solution. The repair guy I talked to didn't know what root or rooting was so that's a dead end...
Oh ok I am kinda running out of ideas I didn't know updato changed their policy....there is a thread on the forum with the stock roms that people shared you might get better speeds using that...also one last thing you can do is use smart switch there is an option for firmware recovery or something like that try that and see

Thanks for helping though! Every helping hand is welcome! Smart switch recognizes my phone but if I select to recover firmware it doesn't recognize my phone because of the lost IMEI. So downloading to recovering stock firmware from samsung is difficult!
Did you try version 3.13.1 of Odin some people that had the same problem as you said it worked for them and also what model of s7 do you have

Jep, exact version that I used. I have a Samsung galaxy S7 unbrandend from Belgium. (SM-G930F)
Just read through your post again the superman rom is using the new bootloader 3 and as far as I know you can't downgrade to a bootloader 2 do you get a binary error in odin when you flash? Just trying to figure out what is going on when it stops at sbin
This is the latest rom for your country I know is branded as you can see but is the new bootloader 3 ...G930FXXS3ERI1 - GALAXY S7 SM-G930F PRO BELGIUM (PROXIMUS)
Found it on Sam mobile did you flash that one?

That's what I was thinking. I've read the exact same thing yesterday. So I started downloading the firmware you just mentioned and the PHN Netherlands one. If one fails I've got another to try. Problem is, with those magnificent download speeds, it takes 24hours to download one of them (yeeeey 50kb/s!!!!!) It should be on my hard drive by tomorrow.
I'll keep you posted if this gets me past the Odin troubles!
I really appreciate you thinking along with me good sir! Thanks for your suggestions!

I did exactly the same mistake as you (Lineage, Superman ROMS) and even bricked it trying to fix it!
The reason for that error code in my experience was that I was attempting to put the original firmware on the phone. Thanks to XDA forums and about a week of reading I realised that I had the Oreo ROM on the phone before all this happened, so I did what the poster above recommends and used the latest Odin and the latest firmware for your country from Sammobile. Bam! My S7 is running better than ever!

You guy's are all amazing! Thank you so much!
Today I had the chance to flash original firmware to my phone. Flashed latest stock firmware from Holland (because Belgium firmware was branded and my S7 was unbranded).
Rebooted the phone, filled in the start menu's went in to settings and BAM, lost IMEI was lost no more!
Inserted my SIM card and had 4G connection! I didn't even had to flash the COMBINATION file.
I learned from my mistakes and immediatly flashed TWRP and made an EFS en IMEI backup!
Again, thank you so much good sirs! You guys really helped me not to lose hope!
Glad you fixed your phone hopefully this will help other people

Absolutely my pleasure! This site has taught me so much, it's great to give a little back.
Hi diSke, Did you find any solution for your IMEI issue, as i also faced same issue and lost IMEI after flashing Superman ROM, and faced same issue. Please let me know steps if you resolved the issue. Thanks in advance.

Earlier i was trying to flash via wrong Odin version 3.14. But after using Odin 3.13 version the latest firmware was successfully flashed and IMEI is restored back successfully. Thanks a lot for your help.
