Samsung S6 G920-F (unlocked) marshmallow Odin flash - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
Wich firmware from the list below can I flash it to my G920-F (Unlocked),I'm tired of waiting for OTA update in Romania.
Galaxy S6 (SM-G920F) - (6.0.1) - Austria(3)
Galaxy S6 (SM-G920F) - (6.0.1) - AMO
Galaxy S6 (SM-G920F) - (6.0.1) - France(XEF)
Thank you ! :good:

France xef. If you dont have access to imei via *#06# wipe data cache from recovery. Enjoy

Any unbranded. Also make sure that You flash 6.x.x bootloader first if You're going to flash custom rom. And if not then just flash any unbranded rom from sammobile through odin 10.7.1 .

When I dial *#06# my IMEI appears on the screen,should I avoid flashing XEF or should I go with it ?

Go with it. I have no idea why he told You to check imei. Anyway. Like I said any unbranded will be just fine. You can flash XEF if You want but it doesn't really matter. I had French builds , russian builds, uk builds etc. So download XEF or UK non branded and enjoy

any way to flash 920f on 920i? any work around or something
tired of waiting!

Thank you guys,I know any unbranded rom works no matter the country,but I was not sure what XEF (France) means.
I the past I flashed UK lollipop rom to my S4.
I will flash France XEF on my S6 and I will post back.
Warranty will be voided ?

I flashed this firmware on my galaxy S6 G920-F and everything works fine,I'm glad I don't have to wait for OTA update in Romania.
I gotta say,this is the best OS from android yet,smooth,fast and stylish !
If some of you guys don't want to wait for OTA updates in your country,flash the XEF version (Unbranded) and everything is good to go !

Baltic 4.4.2 kit kat OTA update

Hi all, got an update this morning for the baltic variant of kit kat.
27mb
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Details from my Note 3

Downloading...
Off the 3 official kitkat 4.4.2 roms I have tested, Switzerland & Poland & Baltic, I find the Baltic one the best.
At least I get to use kitkat before the BTU variant is released,as long as I use the official sam-mobile firmware, basically I can test the different country variants of the new kitkat 4.4.2 without fear of tripping knox, and I still get the OTA updates.
Did you check your CSC?I had Netherland 4.4.2 PHN-N9005XXUENA6 and after i see what you write here i flash Baltic SEB-N9005XXUENA6 for the OTA update.Everything went ok but after i get the update now it's Poland new version CSC:NB1 (XEO).
Before update...
After update...
But here you don't see the CSC.You must install phone info and there you can see what country you have.

Hi orly.
Didn't see that, weird? why would an update change the CSC back to Poland, my CSC also shows N9005OXXENB1 and kies still says its an official version?
So to try to understand process I did a wipe cache and wipe data in recovery and it still shows N9005OXXENB1, so I re flashed Baltic ROM again and it now shows CSC N9005OXXENA5, now when I plug my note 3 into kies it says it wants to change it back
Just realised that the CSC has changed but both were the same XEO!
See screen dump.
Yes it's like mine.But the problem is that i have the Baltic CSC and now i have the Polonian CSC. Only with OTA update.

To see CSC put in *#1234# in phone dialer
I will flash the Switzerland ROM again after tea and report back, I am guessing that the first kitkat ROM you flash is the CSC you get stuck with unless you root, and the CSC variations are only small software programs that are country specific like the Switzerland ROM. As I flashed the first official Poland ROM I am stuck with XEO.
The core features like like say having 4G in settings are ROM specific not the CSC files, which is why I swapped between all the 3 kitkat versions I have tested..
My first rom was a baltic 4.3 with that one i bought the Phone.First time i have Baltic CSC then uk CSC after flash i made a full wipe and then Netherland CSC. I verify in kies3.
Phew..
So I flashed the Switzerland ROM again and my CSC is now N9005PHNENA2, I tried hard reset from menu and hasen't changed, plugged into pc for kies and says its latest? So I was wrong you can change the CSC it appears?
Which is great as I am waiting for the BTU variant this month hopefully.
I told you. Only on my s3 i need a software for change csc. It mean That you flash a old firmware. You didnt trip Knox?

Hi orly.
No my Knox fine, as long as I use official 4.4.2 ROM's. Now on latest Poland ROM.
@gadjet Just to clarify, you flashed the official polish rom with odin and knoxx wasnt tripped? If so what odin version did you use?

I have never been rooted on my Note 3, and I only flashed official firmware from samfirmare.com, not posted ones on XDA just in case, I use odin 3.09
You can see from my previous screen dumps while I flashed different variants this week, and I include a screen shot from my note 3 as of today with the latest Poland ROM.
I've flashed Official Poland 4.4.2 Feb 2014 too... just curious can you install an application from APK files ? I seems having problems not able to do it short while after Factory Reset... already enable in setting thou but still the Install bar can't be click...
? SM-N9005 @ Tapatalk ?
Yes you can.But first you must enable from settings unknown sources.Everything it's ok no wifi drop or something else sayed somebody.
New Poland ROM has same problems for me as first Poland release, i.e.. screen off f-ups and wake lock problems, phone does random lock ups when switching screen back on, and no buttons seem work for a few seconds and screen blank, capacitive buttons sometimes light up? I had to hold power button down for 10 seconds once to get a re boot!
So I am flashing back to the Baltic ROM again.

How do you Change CSC without Root

I currently have Galaxy S6 G920FD. I prevously I am on 5.0.2 with CSC:GLB (Countryhilippines, Network:Globe). I successfuly flashed the French 5.1.1 ROM. Now I flashed back to my native Globe 5.1.1. Problem is the CSC is Thailand and not Globe. How do I change the CSC without root? Tried going to Recovery mode doing full cache wipe and full reset but still it sets the Thailand CSC. Thank you very much.

Galaxy S6 Marshmallow

Hello XDA users,
I bought a galaxy S6 two months ago I always try different ROMS and Kernels but now I want to flash Marshmallow.
I have the unlocked version, SM-G920F running XtresTolite and Hacker Kernel on the 5.1.1 bootloader. I live in Israel my phone's service provider is Golan-Telecom it's taken from Cellcom. As if I flash cellcom's firmware for the galaxy s6 it will work on Golan Telecom cuz it's from it.
I want to flash Marshmallow through Odin cuz I don't have the update.
Can I flash any official Marshmalllow on my phone without problems like losing my network like "Not registered on network", if so, please tell me what I can flash and tell me the steps. I already have a TWRP backup.
Thank you. ?
I never had carrier problems while traveling so I guess You won't have any problems either.
1. Dowmload newest rom for Cyprus or United Kingdom from Sammobile.com (or any 6.0.1 that is unbranded).
2. Download odin 10.7.1
2a. Use usb2.0 ports only.
3. Hold power+vol down+home (to boot into odin mode)
4. Unpack the zip file and in AP select Your tar.md5 file.
5. Let it reboot. Enjoy.

The cyprus version looks like the only one that isn't unbranded (UK is vodafone branded, don't know if that's good?). Also the france MM is also unbranded but the PDA version is different from the rest. It's G920FXXU3DPAD instead of G920FXXU3DPB8.
So which one should I choose the unbranded cyprus or the unbranded france one?
I have the Proximus branded version from Belgium btw.

I was always had problems going from XEF to ANY other FW.... I don't suggest to use it.
I hope it takes only few days to get another FW, wich is unbranded.
I flashed XEF french MM to my g920f, no problems at all, spo2 works, everything works, battery is good, camera flawless
Just flash XEF like @Duzzy5 said or get cyprus version. It's Your choice . Both versions are pretty much identical.

N915G Random Reboot after Different CSC stock Rom

Hi Guys,
I have N915G it was on BRI csc 5.1.1 that is taiwan as I am more accustomed to english environment and international keyboard and apps etc i decided to install XSA csc ROM (Australia ) 5.1.1
I did install it many times troubleshooting here and there till i found the right odin after I installed the active csc was still bri then i installed again performing a complete wipe and even selected XSA .pit file for N915g
So now in recovery its shows XSA csc but phone reboots randomly not too often but sometimes ,not sure about the cause though can it be some app or the csc thing?

Trying to flash 6.0.1 CSC/MODEM with 7.0.1 Firmware, will this work?

Dear readers,
I want to have voLTE working on my SM-G920F.
I live in the netherlands (PHN) and my carrier supports volTE , in fact I have it working with android 6.0.1.
Is it possible to flash to BTU (UK, 7.0.1) with the CSC package from the PHN (6.0.1) or will this cause a (soft) brick?
So I would flash the following with ODIN:
BL: BL_G920FXXU5DQA7_CL8821257_QB12271362_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
CP: CP_G920FXXU5DPL3_CL8821257_QB11771442_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
AP: AP_G920FXXU5DQA7_CL8821257_QB12271362_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
CSC: MODEM_G920FXXU5DPLD_CL2100313_QB_5298122_SIGNED.tar.md5 - (This one is extracted from the PHN firmware package)
Thank you in advance,
Hi,
You can try flashing the BTW package first without any modification, if the feature you want stops working, just flash your region CSC/Modem package afterwards and it should work again.
If the phone have a soft brick (which it shouldn't, it should work just fine), then you can attempt a downgrade or just flashing back the BTU CSC/modem and wait for your region to have Android Nougat.
All the best,
~Lord
