Hello guys,
I've downloaded firmware 5.1.1 for my Galaxy S6 SM-G920F but I didn't flash it because some of the websites said that it will cause battery drainage very badly.
Any one has done it? what about solving Ram issue? any information please

Have you tripped the Knox ?
If yes, stay
If no, update to 5.1.1

Just curious, what difference does it make if he has tripped Knox or not?
Frankly I never used Knox and what is has to do with the update?

Because if you update to 5.1.1 you have to break/trip knox to gain root, but if you have 5.0.2 you won't have to
Thanks for the info,
What about downgrading? Is it possible to get back to 5.0.2 after the update?

5.1.1 is much smoother and have less battery drain in my opinion.
I don't care about knoxx, the only thing what is important is smoothness of my phone.
I tryed custom recovery, stock recovery, root, no root,
And to be honest now I'm running the latest Xtrestolite (odex) and it's the best update till now! ( in my opinion )
5.1.1 will come to you at some point weather you like it or not. Best version of 5.1.1 is the one offered via OTA which is specific to your country. No fears of bricking your phone or voiding your warranty. A little patience is needed to wait for it as Samsung deploys it slower than we expected it. If you are the one who cares only for the latest which on most cases is the greatest and willing to take risks then flash away.
Thanks guys for the answers,
Mine is SM-G920F which the update came for france! Is it workable in other countries?
I'm just wondering is the 920F the more popular international model over the 920I? I have the 920F by the way.
There seems to be all kinds of bugs with 5.1.1, is it worth updating to it? If anything, I think I'll at least wait for the OTA, I live in America so will I get the OTA at same time as others around the world?
Can anyone confirm longer exposures than 1/10 sek in 5.1.1? For example try Manual Camera. In 5.0.2 the max. exposure is 1/10
Thanks!
I've updated it and its really smooth and faster.
But unfortunately the Ram Issue is the same! Still reaching 88%!!
Its a large update, its o er 500mb. I updated with no problems. I find the battery life a bit better. The phone runs smoother and there are a few extras with camera. I'm nit a camera person but do a search and you'll get the idea of the chance. You can now get rid off s finder and quick connect. Other features too. I like the update and Knox is not important to me, however. YOU CAN'T ROOT, right now.

Says Kernel not supported and it wont boot. Now have to use Odin to get back. 920P is not supported! Can't get back thru Odin so I'm letting it boot. Taking a long time and but finally there. I had to wipe everything. I'll let you know if it's rooted now. It booted but can;t use touch.
Did you guys update to 5.1 via ota? I'm in the UK with a non branded s6 and nothing available for me
Hi I want to downgrade my Samsung from 5.1.1 to 4.4.4 ( SM-G361F) , can any one give me a quick help, I am not new to this, so if someone can explain in a few steps.

you canțt there is no 4.4 rom for 361f only for 360 variants. you are stuck to 5.1.1
Most newer Galaxy phones have an eFuse on the board that prevents downgrading the whole firmware. You might be able to use a custom KK rom, if one is available, but will not be able to downgrade with Odin and the official firmware/software package.
Cant Diwngrade
"There Is No Actuall Way Yet The Mother Board has a vChip that protects Maleware and untrusted files from overwriting the system . Finding one is no luck i took my into samsung store they swapped it for a 4.4.4 Samsung Galaxy Core Prime G361F i would just ask them" ¤☆》《
Also Its a Efuse
Thank you for taking time to read this
why would/do you want to downgrade?
So no way downgrading sm-g361f from 5.1.1 to 4.4.? We have chance install 6.0 to sm-g361f?

it's because of that, that after i flashed a custom kernel a red "!" mark will be always at the top left of screen when phone is turning on? dose that means i did blow up the eFuse?
Would you know what lollipop firmeworks works on model SM-G360G, like 4G everything works ok here, vodaphone model. Sick of waiting for lollipop, or should i just wait....I noticed some people had used a Euro Firmware.
There Is Actually One Way But This Causes To Using A Different Model That Is Not The Same As You Android Device Or Changing Your Model To A Different One As The Same Phone As You Have But Having To Have 4.4.4 KitKat??

It's rolled it out in batches to make sure their servers aren't bombarded with tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of people trying to update it at once.
And your friend may not have the international version: some other carriers push it out quicker
If you want to do it officially, it's just a matter of patience. I know the feeling of frustration, checking for system updates twice a day, but it'll arrive eventually
Hi there,
got one question for you. I hope I find some help here.
I rooted my G930F few months ago and now just updated to android 7 nougat beta. Now my device is not rooted.
The problem is, that when I try to launch S Health app, the app says something about that KNOX is tripped. Aaaand I'm not able to launch it. It has something to do with SHealth's connection with knox, implemented in version 5.0 (for security reasons).
The app itself is in my opinion a crappy piece of software on itself, but it's the only way to see all data from my Gear s3 watch on my phone...
Any ideas how to make it work? Any way to set a fake status for knox?
Thanx so much for any advice...
I have the same problem
There is no way to untrip the Knox so unless you find a modified S Health app (don't know if there is one or it's even possible), you are out of luck.

Yet with 6.0.1 in root never had a problem! The problem has appeared with Android 7.
The problem has appeared with the new version of S Health as OP himself or herself states. So except for downgrade or installing old version of SHealth I don't see a way to use it. Can probably be somehow hacked but who knows how

I tried to go back to old version that does not work either!
So Samsung is making our phone unusable once rooted if we want to use Gear watches or all the features of the phone? Very sad and a very bad move from Samsung.
I am rooted with Android 6 and can still use it, I will consider strongly about this before moving to Android 7 then... Thanks for the head's up.
Maybe install a rom that doesn't contain knox stuff?
so any solution ???
Try previous versions of S Health?
No previous version works. Only if we go back to MM s health works again
WTF happens?
Solution HERE
Thanks!
It worked! Thanks!

US GS7-s have locked bootloaders, which means we're unable to downgrade until bootloader keys are leaked or T-Mobile unlocks it for us, which probably will never happen.

I just downloaded the 6.0.1 image for g930T and flash it with ODIN and that's it, I'm on 6.0.1 again :d
Ya I have downgraded from 7.0 to 6.0.1 several times already with no problems. My issue is that Nougat rooted is very laggy so I been trying all sort of fixes like govtuner etc but it is still laggy
anyway, here is attached screenshot of how I downgrade quickly and easily on sm-g930t

I'm running on stock nougat and the phone is speedy, gets ok battery life and I'm really not missing root because I've found ways to make it do what I want. The only thing I miss is TB.
