Galaxy S6 Marshmallow - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

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
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
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.

Problem with changing rom

Hello everyone.
I have a problem after changing software.
The factory software my phone was 5.1.1 Italy (vodafon) OMN, I decided to upgrade to version 5.1.1 BTU, so far so good.
But when I want to go back to the 5.1.1 Italy (Vodafone) the CSC Country was changed to SIM/Slovenia.
What should I do to change in Italy/OMN, What software should you download from sammobile?
Flash Italy firmware and do a hard reset

Hi,
The CSC doesn't matter regarding the system itself, it's just the "location" of your device. If you want to have the Italy CSC back though, just flash a firmware from Italy, just like you did with the BTU. I think you can find it in the SamMobile website.
I don't believe that using Smart Switch/Kies will solve your problem, since I believe it'll flash back the stock from your current CSC, which is SIM/Slovenia right?
All the best,

Again I tried to pass the Italian rom 5.1.1 Vodafone OMN but remains csc SIM / Slovenia.
I installed via odin version 6.0.1 Italian OMN but remains csc SIM / Slovenia.
What else should I do;
I always do before and after the installation, factory data reset,

[G930f] how to flash back to stock ?

hello,
i rooted my galaxy s7 [G930f] from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...rp-herolte-t3333770/post65771911#post65771911
now i want to flash it back to stock firmware
how to return back ?
is flashing stock rom from samfirmware with odin enough for that ?
or just flashing stock rom from samfirmware may bring my set to bootloop ?
need help plz
Why would flashing a stock ROM get you into a bootloop?! Download you corresponding stock from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G930F/, flash via ODIN and you're done.
I'm in the same boat as OP and have an additional question. When I flash the stock ROM (I'm assuming the AP part), will that wipe out my data?
I'm trying to unroot so I can try out Android Pay for a week. I had xposed before and rooted. I already tried uninstalling xposed and using the SuperSu uninstaller but Android Pay is still detecting that my phone is modified. So I'm looking into reflashing stock, but I"d rather keep my data if possible.
Here is a much faster download link for the latest Stock ROM.
https://mega.nz/#!11l1xbaA!Q95jgGwxhCAkSpNR4scFnO-ulF-ybRDm2G4ZTuAACYA
New S7 zip from sammobile has 5 files. You must flash 4 with Odin. AP,CL,BL,CSC . not home CSC. It reformats and wipes the device. Totally stock after that except triggered knox
Στάλθηκε από το SM-G930F μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk
Edit. Above link has latest UK BTU ROM.
It's perfect to flash with that
What if you just want to install another region firmware, will this change your csc so you can get updates from that region?, Installing the firmware from another region will trigger knox?, its so confusing with the new 5 files firmware now..

If u flash AP_G930* / BL_G930* / CP_G930* / CSC_***_G930* and ignore HOME_CSC_***_G930* u will :
* Get the CSC of the rom u flashed if it is single CSC
* Get the default CSC if it`s a multi CSC rom ( will not be the one which is stated as country when u download )
* Wipe ALL your data fresh
* Not trigger Knox status
I just flashed my duos with XEU ( Single CSC rom ) G930FXXU1APD3

I have a 930F and it won't show LTE icon only a 4G icon but I am connected to LTE through T-Mobile. Can I flash all 5 files and be ok? Attached is my phone info.

I don`t really know what u want to do .
LTE = 4G.
If u flash first 4 files u will be ok, just ignore the 5`th one
U need to manually edit the fifth in a linux environment so don`t bother with it
Usually it is better to flash a rom closer to the country u live in, and i think u don`t live in Kenya

For some reason just having the 4G icon bugs me. LOL. Not in Kenya at all, LOL, I live in the U.S. so I wonder which one I should flash?

This i don`t know. Not sure which icon i have on my XEU ( UK / Ireland - very clean rom not much bloat, not branded ) version because in my city i don`t have 4G. On previous phone S4 mini duos, people from US used roms from Europe and was ok. I was going to recommend some Brazil rom since is closer to u, but not sure which one is better in US.
Or u can try the ones branded for T-Mobile Europe like Austria MAX , Croatia CRO , Germany DTM , Poland TPL etc.
I've been thru this paradox before.. Hahaa'
I am Brazilian but now living in Ireland, I've always used BTU ROMs before back in Brazil, but since I move to Europe I am using XEU, which is one of the best if you're living in Europe.. cause receive updates really quick from Samsung as it is for Unbranded phones in Ireland and UK!
I've used to live in US before, New England area.. always had TTT (Trinidad e Tobago) ROMs, is such a small country in Central America but they always received updates from Samsung as soon as they're released!
That's the one I'll highly recommend for you.. TTT!
@iScott78
XEO version have this in CSC others.xml : <CscFeature_SystemUI_ConfigOverrideDataIcon>LTE</CscFeature_SystemUI_ConfigOverrideDataIcon>
I think this is what u are looking for ^^
Maybe others have it too, don`t have the time to check.

Serious connection problems with SM-G920f

Hi everybody, I do not know if there is some discussion open yet but I can not speak and write so much in English.
I come to the problem already written on the SAMSUNG ASSISTENZA forums without solving anything, the only solution to bring it into service.
Ok I have a Samsung S6 SM-G920F which now works only with 2g network, with 3g and 4g network does not work, has field but does not surf.
These tests have been carried out:
Tested SIM sim card on another phone works.
Try other cards on my phone do not work.
Done Update ITV has solved nothing.
Tried other roms I now have French Android firmware 7.0 (I've read that many have solved) flashing and hard reset all the same problem.
I have no root.
Other evidence, removed the board inserted another card nothing.
Changed APN manually.
Restore Factory Settings.
Restore network settings.
The problem has never been resolved.
Here you are a lot better in the world, maybe you know how to do it and thank you.
Sorry for my English but I used Google Translate
Did you tried to flash only modem...?
Maybe that can solve the problem, not shure....!
And better to flash the stock rom that device had when you bought it

Ok ok, understand, perfect.
I noticed unpacking the firmware ITV Italia no brands that until December had a modem, modem.bin then in the next releases the modem has always been updated, since December I got the problems.
As you said you might be the file modem.bin thread that does not work well.
I tried with Odin 3.12.3 to mount the only modem.bin file in CP .... just do not install me Odin is stuck before downloading it on the phone.
Do you know how to do it and why do not you install me?
I'll try to do this and then if it's okay I'll go to the Firmware BTU or DBT .... I think the modem is the problem too because the rest of the phone works and goes only in 2G/Edge
Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!
Ciao vforvlive
Then I tried how you said to wipe ... install the DBT 6.0.1 firmware of the latest in germany and then wipe again nothing works .... only working with 2g network.
I just noticed that H + just keeps the uploaded arrow down there is virtually no data exchange.
I also tried to put the modem.bin file when my phone worked with odin not installing me.
It's absurd I changed 20 firmware nothing ever does the same thing.
It is not even the antenna or some other thing because in 2g it normally works it obviously travels like a snail.

How to install another country's firmware?

My S7 (SM-G930F) is on NEE (Nordic Countries) firmware but I live in the UK and am on Vodafone. This means Samsung Pay doesn't work for my region, how do I flash the Vodafone UK firmware via Odin?

Please follow this step by step guide here
There's a few things you need to do first and the longest will be downloading the firmware you want from sammobile.com .
When you type in "G930F" in the search box you can then filter by country so choose United Kingdom. You'll see a few firmwares listed including Vodafone UK. You don't have to use any branded firmware if you prefer to have a clean S7. In this case chose the firmware "BTU". Once that's downloaded follow the guide for the rest.
