Fail to Upgrade SM-G920I (Spark) to 6.0.1 - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
I've bought a Galaxy S6 (SM-G920i) on B&H unlocked, and it comes with an Australian firmware (SPARK) 5.1.1.
I've downloaded an unbranded firmware from sam, but I can't installed. It has failed before instalation begins.
Has this firmware (SPARK) any kind of lock that can't allow me to install an unbranded firmware? I want to stay with the phone stock and with an unbranded version of 6.0.1.
If anyone can give me a clue, I'll really appreciate it!
Regards,
Power

check your csc, it may need to be changed if spark has not as yet released a 6.0.1 upgrade.

Thanks for your reply Cosmic! I'm trying to push the firmware via Odin. I think CSC should not a problem at this point. I can't understand why I can't flash an stock firmware via Odin. I'm starting to think that it has any kind of lock.

Anyone had the same experience than me?
Thanks in advance,

Hi guys!
This is my story
I bought a Galaxy s6 today in japan akihabara, a "sim free" phone..., I was checking the phone at a restaurant and I found that this cell have a edge firmware
The number model is: SM-G9250
but the real model is: SC-05G
At the moment works fine, but I would like to root it with a real S6 firmware, not a edge firmware...
Do you have any information which firmware can I use? I need it sim free.
Thanks!!
pd: I don't want a iphone, please help :'(

Flash a stock SM-G9200 firmware of your carrier or your country

The firmware must match the device variant of the S6 when flashing. Flashing another modem or bootloader will cause a soft brick. I'm not sure how the edge firmware got flashed onto a S6 but flashing another variant of firmware onto a different phone will DEFINITELY cause soft brick.
Then find a SC-05G Firmware. I dont know if sammobile lists that.

Needed 5.1.1 lollipop firmware compatible with a G920IDVU1AOC6 s6 phone.

Hi guys
Can anyone share a 5.1.1 firmware compatible with a G920IDVU1AOC6 s6 phone. Not to concerned with the country or network. Just really need to get lollipop 5.1.1 on my device. Can't find it anywhere and really need the update. (already tried some brazilian and New Zealand 5.1.1. firmware but nothing worked so far as they had other g920i build versions. Needs to work with G920IDVU1AOC6.
Please let me know.
Thanks.

Hi
thanks for getting in touch. I've tried all types of g920i for lollipop 5.1.1 but it seems none of them actually works for my build model. I've only get access to 5.0.2 because the firmwares are exactly the same as my model (g920idvu1aoc6).
f anyone has a solution for me to install lollipop 5.1.1 on my model, it would be highly appreciated. Previously tried some g920f firmware as well, but after going all well on odin, I only get the samsung logo on screen and nothing else. (even deleting the bin files on the original stock firmware). Any ideas? Cheers

Update for SM-P905 (baseband no: P905XXUANA7 build no: P905XXUANC3) ?

Hi guys,
Am I mistaken or is this the last samsung note pro in the known universe to receive an update to lollipop? I understand it's been a long wait for all note pro users. Does anyone here have an idea when this particular model SM-P905 (baseband no: P905XXUANA7 build no: P905XXUANC3) will receive an update?
Chris
why wouldn't you use odin ?!

Unless I've missed something, the firmware for my specific model isn't available from sammobile, so I can't use odin to update.

I guess you don't have to flash a specific firmware since you have the international 905 model !!
Mine was from italy and i flashed UAE firmware without problems !!

Oh. I feel so newb (And I'm a tech guy...awkward....lol). Mine is running stock kitkat (4.4.2). I rooted it a while back, but so far, have not flashed it with any rom. Correct me if I'm wrong - international version means that all the LTE/radio bands are unlocked? I can't flash it with Deodex.Root.Xposed, as I'm not running stock lollipop. Which rom did u flash yours with?
Chris
You should be able to use Odin to flash any of the released 905 version lollipop updates from sammonbile. You will lose your root however.

Thanks for the link, however, I live in Australia, so according to sammobile, there's no lollipop firmware for this country:

Since your going to flash it yourself just choose any region (pick one thats on 5.1.1) and flash that. Then just change the language and time zone settings during set up and you should be good to go. Many US customers with the 905 used this method when other countries were getting the original 5.0.1 update before them. Worked fine.

Thanks for the info. Cool. I'll keep an eye out for 5.1.1. If I'm not mistaken, most are 5.0.2 at the moment, except AT&T.

Latest firmware for 920F?

Just received an unbranded new 920F that is on C0I9 firmware and appears to be from the UAE. Sammobile shows a QOLK from TIM Italy dated Jan 4 2016.
What is the latest firmware I need without getting carrier specific bloat installed (if possible). I don't want UAE firmware.
Thanks!

cheers

Thanks.. Is this branded to a French network with boot logo and bloatware? I'm so confused with with these international versions. Also, how will future updates be delivered? I'm on AT&T.

Hi. Yeah...I'm using international versions now as well. You can get updates via Kies...but I've noticed some regions get updates faster and at different times. I've found just keep track of unbranded and Odin them when u feel like upgrading. My phone was originally UAE...I just turned it into DDE (German) OK2 firmware. Runs great....ZERO bloat. It's awesome. I'm on TMO
France XEF gets fast updates trust me, and about bloadtwares it's good enough for me so is for u i hope, and no special boot logo only the original
cheers
I am unable to flash any firmware with odin without error, can you help?

Samsung S10e not Receiving Updates (SM-G970U)

Hello guys,
I bought my brand-new Samsung S10e this year in early July and I havent received any update since the January 2020 security patch, which I assume was installed when the phone was manufactured. I was wondering if there's any issue with my firmware or anything. I have seen some recommendations for firmware flashing, I am a bit freaked out about it as I have never done it and I dont want to brick the phone. Additionally my phone is the US variant (Snapdragon) and New Zealand where I live has Exynos for the Default, further convincing me that the phone might have no compatible firmware for where I live to receive updates. I also read that it is not possible for Snapdragon to be rooted and so I was wondering if I could get comfirmation as to whether or not I could use custom ROMs. Any help, suggestions, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated, I am desperate for anything.
Phone model number: Galaxy S10e SM-G970U 128GB
Thanks in advance

Your best option is to download SamFirm 5.0 and download SM-G970U1 firmware XAA code. Youll get updates then. Search how to use SamFirm and tutorial how to flash with patched Odin.

Are you sure that I use the SM-G970U1 firmware and not the SM-G970U firmware, I just really don't want to screw it up, is there a link you could send so I'm not installing viruses? Thank you
