Been on Xtrestolite for months now and at first it was great, but the battery drains quickly now, can't answer phone calls and fast charging doesn't work (works on other devices).
Basically, I want to use this thread to go back to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/stock-firmware-official-stock-firmware-t3086387
The MM update for T-mobile is coming out soon so I am interested in the stock version of that (so my phone calls work).
My question is basically that I updated the modem and the bootloader to the Xrestolite ROM and the ROM thinks my phone is an S6 edge (just a regular S6).
If I use ODIN to flash stock on my device, does it also flash the stock modem and bootloader for my cell phone provider as well? (USA T-Mo.)
Are there any additional steps I need to do to go back to the stock modem/bootloader/anything else? Will I be able to update to MM OTA?

Hello,
Just bought a topaz blue unlocked S6. I think it came from an Asian country. The phone arrived perfectly with plastic in box with the same IMEI as phone. However it was rooted with SU. I went into the app and clicked to remove root. It was on 5.0.2. They I tried to flash original firmware with Smart Switch with no success.
I used odin to flash stock 5.1.1 firmware from the UK. The firmware was for 920F. It went all good. I have LTE, SMS and phonecalls. However, sometimes the baseband appears as unknown, but I still can make calls and have LTE. And it still shows the same IMEI as it is on the box and it has always shown it. Is there a way to fix this? Now, I try to flash stock firmware with Smart Switch and it says it can't initialize.
I would REALLY appreciate help. I would love to be able to flash stock firmware from Smart Switch.
I'm in México with Telcel, which uses the same bands as AT&T.
P.S. I really searched and couldn't find anything on my specific situation.
That happened to me when I was still on 5.0.2 and flashed only the 5.1.1 modem. I would suggest downloading the modem.tar file and flash that. Should all be good after that.
I'm currently downloading G920FXXU1AOD4 BTU firmware to flash it with Odin. Might that help me better? My main goal is to be 100% stock without any weirdness. And having Smart Switch recognize my phone!
Well, I'm sad.

You cannot downgrade to 5.0.2 from 5.1.1. Your bootloader will not support. I have the issue with 3G connection. Where to get the Modem.tar?
Hello
my S6 has a very bad battery life.
S5 from my mother:
Last Charge before 2d 18h and still 40% left while wifi,gps, Bluetooth, Facebook and WhatsApp is always on.
My S6:
Last Charge before 10h while Bluetooth and wifi is off.
Only WhatsApp a few times but I greenified that app.
Im on wanamlite odex and arter97 kernel without any mods like xposed. (tried many other ROM´s)
Bootloader: G920FXXU3COI9
Baseband: G920FXXU3COI9
Newset Stock ROM from vodafone germany : G920FXXU2QOH8
I think because of my bootloader Odin says Fail while flashing stock ROM.
Is the only solution to wait till vodafone Releases a newer ROM and send it back then?
Because I cant send it back while it´s not possible to Flash stock Firmware. Dont think that they will repair it then-
Hi guys, I have a G900p on 4.4.2 rooted with Phils recovery. My goal with this phone was to be able and use data internationally once it was unlocked, data didnt work on stock software. So I flashed Shohat Rom v5 and that made my data work, but my fingerprint scanner was unusable. What rom can I flash into this phone to have functioning data and functioning fingerscanner. Please consider that I am in Mexico which is international and I need data.
Thank you
the newest stock rom now has international data working

Hi, I also have a G900p sprint S5 on 5.0 software - G900PVPU3B0G1, but it also picks up no data at all here internationally. It picks up signal calls and all, but no data and I cant find the way to downgrade it to 4.4.2 since every time I try with Odin it simply fails. I wouldnt want to upgrade it to that new version, since then I think it would be even harder to downgrade to 4.4.2? hope you can lend a hand and let me know.
Thanks

well you cant downgrade the bootloader to anything below OG1 if your on stock. but if you root it you can install any custom rom through the custom recovery you added when rooting.
including flashing a 4.4.2 rom as long as your rooted with custom recovery.
when you flash a rom in the custom recovery your only flashing the rom itself not the bootloader. so you can go back to whatever rom you want but it must be done through a custom recovery. so to break it down
even if you upgrade and it doesnt give you the data your looking for you can root and flash an old rom.
one old trick that used to reset the data was a dialer code ##SCRTN# (press those digits in the dialer pad) it resets the entire data profile for the phone . so good luck the rest should be in the forums
If I'm on OG1 and rooted I can flash back to 4.4.2 ? Do I need to flash modem and kernel from the older version I'm flashing ?
I recently received a T-Mobile Galaxy S6, and it was rooted and had a custom kernel, which was a complete mess (the person who owned the phone previously clearly did not know what they were doing) so I just wanted to restore it back to full stock.
I am decently experienced with ODIN, rooting, custom firmware etc, but I have just done one of the biggest rookie mistakes I have ever done. I had accidentally downloaded the most recent firmware for my G920T, not realizing that the file was not for T-Mobile. It was the (XAR) carrier (I believe that is C-Spire but i could be wrong) and the latest was PK1.
It flashed perfectly and all seemed fine until I decided to unlock the device. The T-Mobile S6 requires the use of the "Device Unlock" app and since I had flashed the wrong ROM, the phone thinks the Device Unlock app is not compatible. When I put a different GSM SIM card in the phone, it prompts me to use the Device Unlock app.
I do not have a previous NANDROID backup from the original T-Mobile ROM, and now that I am on the lastest Bootloader for XAR, it will not let me downgrade. I have tried flashing pretty much every MM bootloader and TWRP for both T-Mobile and XAR and none will work (except for what is currently on the device of course) I always get the error "Device: 5 Binary: 4" (sometimes the binary is 3, depending on which version of MM rom or BL I try)
To sum it all up, I am on PK1 (latest for XAR) and I need a way to get back to the official T-Mobile ROM (latest is PD1). Is there a magic method to get this figured out or am I pretty much stuck with what I got until T-Mobile releases an update that is PK1 or higher?
Thank you in advance to all of you that take your time to help (and I am sincerely sorry if I am posting in the wrong section)
I've been looking all over the internet to find the stock firmware to flash in order to get back to stock on my S8+ and haven't found anything. Can anyone help me? I made a mistake along the way with rooting using the SamPwnd method, phone boots but I just want stock.
here you go i had the same issue haha

i have used this on my device it does work
did it work?
I flashed the G955U1 firmware from the UCS version and everything works fine, actually its working better than the regular stock firmware cause this U1 firmware is so smooth: data works, calling works, and i can receive texts but i cant text anyone else. Could you help me with fixing my texting problem? I'd prefer to stay on the U1 firmware hopefully.
Will this work on s8 smg950u from xfinity?
