Hello,
I'm having an issue with my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. I'm trying to restore it back to unrooted stock because I'm transferring it over to my wife. I was able to odin it back to stock but I cannot get rid of the Renegade splash screen. Can someone point me to the right file to get it back to a completely fresh phone like it would have just came out of the box?
I thought that I'd be able to find the actual Samsung software and restore it with that but I've had no luck finding it. So I thought someone here may be able to link me to the proper tar file, or link me to the official Samsung software so I can restore it that way.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance!

Hey, flash this in odin: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911977034
It's the stock param file (stock Splash Screen). Place it in the BL slot in odin
You can upgrade to Marshmallow 6.0.1 to get rid of the the splash screen.

Thanks guys, I did end up finding the marshmallow tar file. It worked like a charm and the the phones like brand new.
I appreciate you taking the time to answer my question though.

Hi guys! I don't post here often so please go easy on me!
I have managed to brick my phone updating it from 2.2.1 through Samsung Kies. Now I don't really care how it is done, I just want my phone back with the stock firmware.
Worth noting, I kind of know how to use Odin, so if Odin is the route, if someone can point me in the right direction of a PIT and TAR file, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
If so, would you mind sharing the procedure? I've tried flashing the 4.4.4 firmware in 3 different computers, with Odin 3.4, 3.7 and 3.9, using several cables and several USB ports, but it always results in a <ID:0/003> FAIL! (Auth) or stuck on aboot. I've done factory reset, wiped cache, turned on debugging. Lollipop sucks the battery harder than a truck stop hooker, and would love to go back to KitKat. Thanks for any help thrown my way.
Not everybody at once, people! That's what I get for buying a phone only 3 other people own. It's OK, I still love you, Edge.
I was able to downgrade as were a few others with Edges. A little searching and you'll find all the answers you're looking for.

Is your Edge from Verizon? I found information for other carriers (which I assumed would be the same procedure, obviously with the right firmware), but since my downgrade failed miserably, I want to know if anyone else with a Verizon Note Edge has been able to downgrade.

Check your PM's
Please share this info
Please share on how to roll back to kit kat on the Verizon note edge. I upgraded to lollypop and do not like the battery life and a few other things that have come about because of this upgrade. I have tried using Odin to revert back to 4.4.4 but keep getting a failed message. I would be forever great full if you could please send me or post this information.
Thanks in advance for the help!
If I am ever able, I will. Still stuck with 5.0.1.
Hi gang. FYI... In trying to help MEXICO downgrade his Edge, I sent him a PM with information I thought could be useful for downgrading his Verizon version. Apparently this was something he had already seen and was of no help to him. I have been searching for the tar files for Verizon edge kitkat to no avail. I will continue to research, but at this point I cannot offer any help as I am on AT&T. If I come across something that may be useful, I'll let you know. I encourage you all to also keep searching and share any information you might find. I'm sorry that I'm pretty much useless at this point.
Bootloader TAR File
I have managed to find a sample of the TAR file for the 915F version of the Galaxy Note Edge. I have also been able to find this thread that details what info needs to be made into the TAR file from the downloaded 4.4.4 Verizon Firmware file but I have been unable to create the TAR bootloader file correctly. I keep getting individual files in a TAR and not an MD5 in a TAR. It is a start and hopefully someone with greater knowledge of creating said TAR file can take this info and run with it.
Sample TAR file Thread:

What needs to be in the TAR file:

Here is the place to download the stock firmware:

Hope this is the beginning of something that can work. Please let me know if I can be of further help.
Hi,
I am trying to fix a tablet that somehow got corrupted after an update. When I turn it on, it goes to the samsung log and hangs for ever. Also, when I shut it off it comes right back on by itself.
I can get to the stock recovery and the odin mode. Clearing cache in recovery errors and reboots.
All I know about the tablet is that is a Galaxy Tab 2, GT5-5113 (according to the odin mode)
I found this thread when searching: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704668 which which I am pretty sure I can just grab the right one and flash it via odin to sort it out. My question is which one do I need since there are 6 to choose from and I am unsure of the exact model past 5113?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jesse
The characters after 5113 are the firmware version. Just grab the one with the latest date and you're good to go.

Thank you!
The links in the other thread redirect to some streaming site. Is there anyone with a good link to the stock firmware? I don't have the tablet rooted so I think I can only use the stock one correct?
Thanks
Jesse
UPDATE
I got it working, thanks a lot for the help!
Hey all,
I dug up my old Galaxy Stellar and I've got it to the point where I can get the 4.1.2 OTA update, however I can't flash this because I have TWRP recovery. I have an LH2 .tar that will bring the device to Stock 4.0.4 but it doesn't override the Recovery. I need a stock firmware for this device and I cannot find one. Billard412 had a lot of these files on Goo.im, but since that died, I'm afraid the files are gone with him. If anyone knows Billard412 and could get me in contact with them, I would be greatly appreciative.
Thanks!
Hello all,
Have rooted my SM-S906L (5.0.2), which is the SM-G920V for Straight Talk.
TWRP recovery is installed and all is well there.
Trying to install the stock VZW Rom 6.0.1 with the file name: "G920VVRU4CPC2_G920VVZW4CPC2_G920VVRU4CPC2_HOME.tar.md5"
Odin finds the com and device gets added, and the rom takes forever loading into the AP field, then its ready to go.
Hit Start and it fails on sboot.bin...
Could someone possibly point me into the right direction, what I could have or been doing to get this error.
My goal is to get Marshmallow on this S6. My stock firmware is backed up using TWRP.
Thanks!
Update:
..
please let me know if you find any solution
S609l vs g920v
Here here...
Been hoping someone would confirm that the G920V is, or not the same hardware as the S906L.
Would be inclined to experiment more if that was indeed the case.
Regardless, installing TWRP through Odin was straight forward, then rooting with SuperSU, again not an issue.
Quite surprised that there is not a custom rom out there yet?
In the meantime, will keep researching
Still no joy on custom rom for s906l?

Nothing yet, still hoping that someone will have figured it out and share. I did have the stock G920V rom boot looping at the Samsung logo but since this is my main phone at the moment, I flashed the stock rom back... I am sure the SM-G920 varient is the SAME unit, just would be a drag to hard brick my only phone.
OTA Update Recived
Last night my SM-S906L did indeed receive an OTA update 275mb, and have harvested to ZIP from the cache/fota folder to my GoogleDrive if anyone needs it.
So before I apply said update, who do I see what OS version it is before it is applied?
My phone is rooted and using TWRP which means once this is applied I am back to loading TWRP and SU.
anyone else get this on theirs, thoughts??
I updated it. Still on 5.0.2. Build number now ends with pk4. When I googled the build number there were s7 nougat roms that ended in that. I was really hoping tracfone was gonna give us a real update.
Edit... just tried flashing the s906l twrp in odin and it wouldn't take. Odin said success but it still boots to stock recovery with the power volume up and home press AND I can't go back to the oe3 firmware or whatever the one that's post around is. Now I'm even screweder

Anyone ever figure anything out with the pk4 firmware with regards to rooting?
