Hello guys I need some help I have looked all over and don't know what else to do.
For me the problem started when I tried to install a new custom rom, I was running lollipop and went for the marshmallow version of the rom. As the developer indicated I updated the bootloader / Modem to 6.0.1 and TWRP to the latest version. The install went perfect except that when I finished installing my screen was inverted over the X axis. ( I think I installed the edge version on my flat SM-G920I phone) By the way for some reason my phone was showing model number SM-G925F from the time I rooted it a while ago. That is what threw me off.
Any ways I have tried *#2663# with no luck and also Samsung Info app to use the secret codes and the *#2663# is no there so that doesn't work I think that code doesn't work on 6.0.1 , My next option was to downgrade to 5.1.1 and I get SW REV check fail.
So I need some help to either get my screen back to normal on 6.0.1 or to downgrade to 5.1.1
THanks for the help!

Download a firmware and flash it with odin
Try downloading Shortcut Master (lite) from the play store. It may give you access to the 2663 code. Otherwise, as above.

What firmware? I have tried it with 4 different firmwares and no luck
The problem is that I cannot downgrade to 5.1.1 even with the original software

Hi guys a bit of help please. I'm about to fully flash my device back to stock.
I have a o2 UK variant s6. I have downloaded the correct 5.1.1 rom via sammobile. However the worry I have is about the bootloader, do I have to do anything with it.
Thanks in advance.

You shouldnt have to if you have any concerns just do it though smart switch on your pc once the program opens up click over to emergencey recovery and punch in your device name eg. SM-G92xx and your serial number make sure its all capitals it will download the correct software for your device and flash it for you. If this dosent work then you shouldn't have problems with odin as long as your not downgrading from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1
That's the wierd thing. Smart switch will not recognise my phone. Windows dose and Odin just not smart switch. Is it because I'm rooted running a custom rom.
I was on 6.0.1 but reverted back to a 5.1.1 custom rom. Dose that make a difference.
Thanks

Hello.
Im trying to get back to 5.1.1 but Odin gives me FAIL everytime.

Try to flash THIS firmware. It won't fail;
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/63682/G920FXXU3QOLH_G920FNEE3QOL2_NEE/
It's interesting to me. Has anyone tried?. Thank you.
Hi
May I please ask why you want to go back to 5.1.1 ?
The reason is, i have 5.1.1 and i am thinking of upgrading ,but if the feedback is result then i'd rather stay on Lollipop.
Thanks and sorry for my bad english
Because it was better with me in LP and because MM missing dozens of settings and functions that were present before.

Verizon prevents downgrade on their bootloader.
You can't downgrade it, like iOS devices.

Can anyone help me downgrade g920i 6.0.1 to 5.1.1 without flashing stock or without losing my data.?
AmazingAura01 said:

That pretty much depends on the version of the phone, for example Vodafone phones have a custom bootloader, so it can't be easily modified, and even if you successfully flashed another bootloader, most probably you'd trip knox, in the best case, or brick the phone... Bootloaders are always very tricky...
I'm not sure of the model number in that case, I think it's G920F/25F (S6/S6 Edge).
In my case I have a G925i, and would love to know if it can be downgraded from Android 6... I don't have the latest patch yet, I didn't want to install it because I want to eventually root this phone without tripping the blessed knox thing.... I recall that PingPongRoot can root the phone without tripping knox, but I'm not sure of the android version that it works with.

There shouldn't be, not as far as the User Data is, as long as you don't wipe the /data/media partition, which shouldn't be the case when you flash stock FW. What is lost however, is the applications, those are lost along with their internal data, like SMS, Contacts (if stored on the phone), MMS, Whatsapp chats (recent ones at least if you didn't backup the latest chats), email app (if you use the stock one), saved games (if local), etc.
so what is the solution?
Yeah man I figured it out. I'm back on 5.1.1 now when I was on my s3 flashing stock would erase the whole internal storage. And coz s6 doesn't have an SD card I thot my internal would be wiped
Hi guys;
I was updating my Xtrestolite to the new 3.3 version and my x axis got flipped over. I searched already on this forum and found out that with the secret code *#2663# I could solve my problem. Unfortunately, my S6 (wich is a 920F) won't get ANY secret code (neither *#0*# !!!) so I'm stucked. I tried also to downgrade to 5.1.1 but Odin says SW REV. CHECK FAIL DEVICE 3 BIN 2. Can you please help me guys? It's twisting to use the phone mirrored :cyclops:
Many thanks in advance

You need to install a Rom, that supports USSD codes.
Then you can use the code.
So just go to updato.com, and download stock, and you're good to go.
Alternative find a Rom, with USSD support like Cas Rom.

Like you said, I've downloaded a stock ROM of 6.0.1, installed from TWRP, done the *#2663# thing and installed the custom ROM. Everything works like a charm.
i have a galaxy s6 (SM-G920F)and it failed in an update and got stuck in a bootloop,i tried reflashing stock rom (6.0.1),ive tried smartswitch but nothing is working I cant get into recovery either,when I tried reflashing stock rom with odin it came up with sw rev check fail device 5 binary 4,any ideas what this means? as far as I can tell its a bootloader problem

Use smartswitch emergency recovery , samsung have put in place some issues with the Bootloader, moreso if you're on a newer bootloader then you cannot install a firmware which has a lower bootloader

When you downloaded your firmware for odin, was it the very newest update? Or an old one, I've noticed some older firmwares fail to flash due to being on a newer bootloader

Hey, so I have the bootloader problem too and I think we have to wait for the nougat update for the type of phone you have. I have a galaxy s6 tmobile so I think I have to get nougat and flash that when it comes out for tmobile. You have to do the same I think but for now Im gonna send it to samsung and act dumb. Hopefully maybe they fix it and send it back. Do you think they will accept my phone though? It was rooted and had nemesis rom. for nougat port from s7 edge. Also current binary is: Samsung Official. System Status is: Custom. They can see knox is tripped since the counter is void: 1.

Hey, it depends if you have warranty on the phone or not. If you have warranty, it will not cover your expenses because it's void after unlocking bootloader and rooting. If you don't have warranty and you are paying them anyways, they should have no trouble accepting it. Who would deny taking money. I hope they can fix it for you and I'm sorry we couldn't figure out how to. What you said about Nougat is true. I have checked that information as well. There is no Nougat for TMobile yet. We just have to wait. Again, in the mean time if I fix it, I will post my solution here.
