So after solving many problems during flashing, I finally got a 100% clean perfect install working of XtrestoLite MM working on g920w8. Only one problem left, there's no sound in call, but audio works fine taking/playing back a video. phone is a week old, no hardware defects. Is there something Obvious I may have missed?
-xtreStoLite 6.0.1 root enabled
- samsung s6 g920w8
- xposed
-viperFX
- stock kernel
- knox 0x1
- not sure what bootloader/modem is on it but didn't change it manually, maybe its for LP or maybe XtreStoLite flashes newer MM compatible versions
No, ROM doesn't flash BL/modem, the instructions are very specific about verifying those prior to installation.
My suggestion is to flash latest Bell 6.0.1 stock ROM with Odin, which will give you the latest BL/modem, then flash XtreStoLite again.

I'll give it a try. Will the Bell ROM work on this phone? its from Rogers. could I not flash just the bl/modem by themselves? I went back to stock through kies recovery mode when it was bootlooping, and it put me back on lollipop, and in about phone it said "up to date"
The ones in post #5 are older than the new ROM. Rogers hasn't released it yet, but you can flash any Canadian ROM without issue. Plus, you're going to clobber it right away with XtreStoLite.

Oh, and use the SamFirm tool (search in XDA for it) to download the ROM.

absolutely, like a million times since I had so many issues getting it to work at first. I just wasn't sure what you were referring to at first. I'll take another look.
Never had this much trouble with my htc. I guess things were simpler back then.
EDIT: I checked it out, you're right, they're about 2 weeks older than the rom, but the dev linked them, so shouldn't they work? they say they're for 6.0.1, and still only a couple months old right now.
Slow download. I'm gonna come back to it tomorrow. thanks for your time!
Either way will work, but you'll have less heartache installing the stock ROM first. Good luck.

I tried your suggestion today, and it successfully flashed, but its just stuck on the bootscreen. flashed twrp back on and restored my backup but still no sound in call.
EDIT: Ah stupid me. I didn't realize twrp backs up and restores modem on samsung phones, on htc it was never in the list. trying again.
- Still nada. restoring through kies again to rogers 5.1.1
-I gave up, went back to stock. oh well. thanks anyways
All you had to do was flash the call audio fix and the arter kernel and you would've been set.

I must have missed the fix. I guess it was an aroma option? I'll give it a try another time, thanks for the input. I wish you had commented yesterday!!
was working OK with stock kernel. did I need arter kernel?

It's not in the aroma packages, it's a separate zip file you have to download.
And depending on the rom or the rom base, you're going to need arter kernel or another kernel that was tested to be 100% compatible with The 920T/920W8 models--rom makers will list whether their roms were tested with these models--otherwise the fix won't work.
I don't remember if the default Xtres kernel will work with the fix or not since it's been awhile, but there's no reason to not try it out. Either the stock kernel will work or arters kernel will definitely work.

I found the fix for both LP and MM so I went with marshmallow, but for some reason it wouldn't boot after my restore in twrp. I tried flashing the arter kernel, but it bootlooped. I eventually gave up, so I tried LP and that worked, so I stuck with it. all problems fixed now. Thanks guys!
I didn't mention call audio fix, as it's included in newer XtreStoLite builds, so unnecessary. As long as a MM BL/modem are on the phone, there should be no reason for the patch.

Did you do a restore in TWRP? -groan- That's likely the reason for your problems in MM. And why it worked in LP.
If you're game, restore using Titanium Backup. There's a setting for restoring across ROMs, and you can restore only needed data (apps should be re-installed and not restored).

Ok, well if it worked then it's not like it's completely busted.
Try to odin completely back to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974114
This will ensure everything is perfectly stock, flash the mb1 image and then ota to mf1 and reroot, then once everything is on the mf1 base, only flash TW roms based on the mf1 base or use AOSP roms.

If it is working then suddenly not in the same day I'm leaning toward hardware issue. Have you tried restoring to stock but not the newest update? Try a older firmware. I had a friend I helped root his s3 and there was a issue with the newest firmware giving this error when flashing custom roms since the roms were based off the older firmware. Hope this helps if not I'm sorry about your phone

Tacking onto what @ems3 posted, you could try this as well which involves Odin and flashing the pit file. Disregard everything after the first post as there was an unnecessary discussion that quickly followed.

I aslo have camera errors today after flashing the Synergy ROM (r484). I'm set on this ROM because it is the only one I've found that will
Support other cell carriers on a Verizon SCH-I535 and I need to switch carriers in a couple of days. Some one in a developer thread said that it should get the older firmware flashed to fix the camera or else I could choose to change the kernal. My firmware is I535VRBMF1 and what was sugested was MB1 firmware. I have several questions. What would I risk or loose by going to the older firmware? How do I get it and flash it (I have Odin but haven't used it yet). The Kernal came with Synergy ROM and is refered to as Ziggy's.

You don't stand to lose anything except possibly data connection and speed, and signal strength and quality. You can find the all in one (AIO) zips from Invisiblek's thread, just flash VRBMB1 aio in recovery. Invisiblek does not make any of these that are Odin flashable for JB and beyond.

Hi,
I just got my 4.3 update on the VZW SCH-I535 phone! Then I decided to try CM10.2 and didn't realize that my phone was re-locked because of the OTA update! Now my phone is stuck with the message "System software not authorized ..." To move past this issue, I have tried (and failed) the following:
- Tried to flash stock rom using ODIN (withSamsung-Updates.com-SCH-I535_VZW_1_20120705143513_fti2qg2lmf-stock-rom-4.0.3). It goes all the way through and I get a PASS! But after the phone reboots I get the "System error ... " again
- Tried to flash stock rom using ODIN with stock.vzw_root66.tar file and got the same result as above.
- I have also tried installing with Nand Erase All and Re-Partition checked, with PDA selected using the first rom, but I still get the same error
- I have read and tried some of the thread on this site with no luck either.
Any clue how I can get past this issue? Thanks for all your help in advance.

Yup, I took the OTA. Didn't realize that it would un-root. I have tried various things at this point to get it back, but nothing has worked so far. Now when I try to use ODIN to do a CF-Auto-root, i see the "Secure Check Fail: recovery", at the Downloading screen. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
To my knowlage I am the only one hosting the tar file you need. Samsung updates doesn't have it because the file hasn't been officially released other than ota.

Turns out, after working with the ATT folks for a while, that the IMEI number that my phone has comes up incorrectly in their database. It shows up as a Samsung Tab. Checked with Samsung and my IMEI number is correct, so ATT will have to fix it on their end to get my phone to work correctly. I don't know why they make it so hard to migrate phones across service providers.

The only working root method is currently saferoot if you take the OTA. Personally I wouldn't take it. I'd suggest keeping your unlocked bootloader in tact and running a custom 4.3 rom.

You van root 4.3 after ota or that link, but if I was you I would try to use the ota first. If it works you will keep all installed apps and settings (but it might be buggy). If you follow that link you will loose current setup, apps and it will format internal sd (but it will be clean and hopefully bug free ). Make sure you are home with access to a pc before you try ota. If you changed to much of the workings of your phone the ota may not work or could even brick you. In that case you will need to use that link.

Honestly I'm glad I took the ota on accident. The past few weeks my phone has worked without a hitch. Some people just do not need custom ROMs and I think I am one of them. I'm pretty sure everyone who complains about how 4.3 is buggy and a battery hog just needs to use Odin to get a clean fresh start. I am disappointed that I can't install cyanogen when I turn this into my mp3 player after I get a new phone but its not like tw is bad. It just has a few annoying things that I can change with root access.

I dnt hate tw ..I think is a good Rom in general .all that bloatware what got me to root and then lead to custom roms .like mention not everyone needs cuztom things.I do agree that a clean install of TW runs great .but I like options .and to each there own

Seriously? They put a ton of work into theme on this rom. I've seen 4.3 stock and I'm not impressed. It's boring and pretty basic. Wicked is an awesome rom. I've run just about all of them. Beans rom isn't bad at all but I seemed to have a ton of issues with it

YES!!! It will take a long time to flash...did not hang. Just needs time

I will have custom ROM based on International version once it is released and I can get my hands on the KDZ or TOT. This way we do not have to deal with CarrierIQ.

Are you using the aboot from one of the 10x builds? I am pulling the ROM down now but I am concerned that installing this will update my aboot and make it so that going back to a different kernel/ROM will be difficult. I am not all that up on LOKI so perhaps this is just a dumb post :/.

Are you using the aboot from one of the 10x builds? I am pulling the ROM down now but I am concerned that installing this will update my aboot and make it so that going back to a different kernel/ROM will be difficult. I am not all that up on LOKI so perhaps this is just a dumb post :/.

What if we are on the unrooted KitKat ota? Just flash this? Or downgrade, then flash recovery and then flash this?

when you use lg flash tool to go back to an older firmware, it replaces your aboot with that firmwares aboot. so you have nothing to worry about.

@bigfau
we need a custom KK rom from you. GOGOGO.
Ah, OK. So if I'm running houstonn's PA ROM I can't just go into TWRP, wipe everything, and flash this ROM? I first have to downgrade to stock 10d, etc?

If you have a custom recovery just flash both rom zip and superuser. No need to downgrade unless you have stock recovery.

International 4.4.2

YES!!! It will take a long time to flash...did not hang. Just needs time
I will have custom ROM up later tonight.
I will have custom ROM based on International version once it is released and I can get my hands on the KDZ or TOT. This way we do not have to deal with CarrierIQ.

I just asked you this on another forum, but I don't know if you are tracking that one. Is this 100% stock ATT ROM, other than it being Flashable Zip? That's AWESOME if it is!

Yes this is 100% stock. I will have debloated international ROM up in a couple of hours for D800.
I just confirmed FlashFire works with our rooted S6. I successfully made a system backup and flashed a boot animation zip. For more info about FlashFire and how to get it go here. Please thank and support @Chainfire for his work.

No, Knox is still good. It really shouldn't trip it because it doesn't mess with the bootloader at all.

I'm new to Samsung coming from HTC...with flashfire will we be able to flash debloated TW roms (assuming there were any for VZW)? I've seen that anything with the kernel we'd need an unlocked BL, but as far as TW roms go, we should be able to right?

I flashed a zip yesterday so I would think a properly made ROM would flash. I did try one yesterday but it didn't flash. I'm pretty sure it was a updater script error on my part. I haven't had the time to look into it further. As for our kernel we will have to use the stock one.

Search my friend. It will have to be the same format as the attached one here. This one is from the S5 without the red Verizon screen, just flash it with FlashFire.

Ever have any luck? Some of the ROMs over in the international S6 thread look pretty nice. With the M8 we were able to get international ROMs ported over, but I'm in a new world with Samsung and flashing ROMs without TWRP.

It's not going too good on my end. I'm sick of Odining back to stock. I must have done it about a dozen times after various failed mods. I'm pretty much calling it quits until a better recovery becomes available. FlashFire restore doesn't work for me so when a mistake is maid I have to go back to stock. Hopefully there will be some updates to make this more reliable. I'm OK with the few mods available and debloating for now.

Just out of curiosity are you trying to port roms already made for other devices? If so I would assume that the kernel on your locked phone cannot work with the system.img in the ported rom. What you could do is find a rom that is stock rooted only, no other mods or lightly modded and grab that script. From there download the verizon s6 system, extract it and add the su stuff then wrap all that in a zip. The permissions and symlinks should be close enough to get you booted and if it boots you can start working out all of the bugs
Sorry if you already tried all that, just want to help if I can.
*Edit*
Almost forgot Im sure you figured this out already but you would need to edit the boot out of the installer script
*Double edit*
Here is a non aroma rom for your installer script. He is planning on implementing aroma so you might want to grab it asap

misterxtc has helped me develop roms for the vzw s5 as well as his own roms. were not a+ devs by any means but we do have experience with it.. the rom created was im sure from his own build from the stock base rom for the vzw s6.
the vzw s5 also has a locked BL so we are very aware that you can only use roms compatible with the stock BL and kernel.. Flashfire does not appear to flash the BL or kernel at all but also cannot write the whole system without the kernel.
it has been tried multiple times by him and myself on my s6 edge and each time results in having to odin back to stock and start over.
We also both talked to hsbadr and his multisystem unfortunately does not work for us since we have no ext sd card.

I'm building from scratch with the stock tar. I did get one to boot but no luck deodexing it. I've got both aroma and kitchen ROMs to flash and boot but had some minor issues with superSU. I haven't had the mind to concentrate on much lately. We had to put down our 13 year old German Shepherd yesterday so I'm pretty tore up from that.

Thanks for taking a look at this and I hope your family gets better from putting down a best-friend/family member.
I already have PK1 MM ROM on my sprint s5, but I can't flash lollipop ROMs and Odin keeps failing.
How should I do that? Thanks.
you cant. there is a physical "fuse" of sorts in the phone that once you are on PK1, you cant go back. All you can do is root, twrp and flash 6.0 ROMs

yeah, there are several of wifi hotspot apps out there that work on 6.0. Might want to poke around in the themes and apps section. Sometimes people get a little anxious about talking about hotspot apps because of the debate over it circumventing carriers money making abilities and that violates the TOS of XDA, but the last thing i saw the mods on here were ok with talking about it
I did, from PK1, and PL2 to OK4. So it is posible. Try redownloading/Odining OK4. Also there is a PK1 ROM with hotspot modded.

here is the list of sprint basebands just for reference in case youre interested
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900P/SPR/
and youre in the 6.0.1 family and if you got it that way, youre likely not going to be able to downgrade (if thats what youre wanting to do), but you can root by flashing the PCA baseband then follow the 6.0.1 root instructions (im not sure, but i think theyre still just installing the appropriate TWRP, boot to twrp and flash supersu while in twrp)
