Not able to root or install TWRP on Galaxy S6 5.1.1 (SM-G920I) at all.

Hi everyone,
Trying to root my Galaxy s6 SM-G920I India version but no luck. Had to restore stock firmware thrice today. Every time I used ODIN 3.10.6 with Unibase or Unikernal it would say kernel is not SEAndroid enforcing and stick to a bootloop. If I use the CF auto root method it says Recovery is not SEAndroid enforcing and again bootloop.
Trying the alternative method of installing TWRP also does not work and I get the same recovery enforcing message and bootloop. Please help. R/L is off.

I had the same problem with Indian firmware. The latest one.
I quit trying to get root.

I have the issue too guys. The newest UAE firmware(CSC XSG) is not letting the TWRP stick after flashing with Odin. I've asked for help over in the Help & Troubleshooting section. Hopefully we can figure this out.

I read your blog. The thing is that I can't root the India firmware. Is the firm I'm using and I don't want to change it cause it's working really well.
But seems that is unable to root. And I want to erase some bloatware to make it lighter
Thanks anyway for your help

When you rooted your S6 G920F that time was your phone having 5.1.1 android and DOL5 bootloader.

I tried this method on this website but no luck.????

There is a thread on xda about how to root DOL5 formware by an INDIAN USER USING G925I.
Not all had success with it. I would suggest sticking with DOK9 firmware and wait for a few days as android 6.0.1 has started rolling already in Korea for s6(both variants)
The changes between DOK9 and DOL5 is not huge and not worth an upgrade

[KERNEL/TWRP/ROOT] Samsung SM-G550FY (O5LTESWA)

RO2T - Stock, SELinux Permissive Kernel For Samsung SM-G550FY (On5)
How to install + root on LL 5.1.1:
Enable USB Debugging & OEM Unlock from Settings > Developer Options.
Flash kernel, recovery via ODIN.
Install SuperSU from recovery.
Click thanks, and enjoy!
Note: The TWRP is actually from SM-J200G (j2lte) which shares the same chipset (Exynos 3475), with RO2T kernel & device-tree from stock kernel. I didn't test all features, but the SuperSU installation just did work as it should. Use at your own risk.

You saved my life
You are great. My months long research finally ended in this small post of yours. I have a samsung galaxy on5 chinese model sm-g5500 and I was trying to install gapps on it with no success. I have almost given up searching since its a rare model and there are no custom recovery or custom roms for this model available. But this twrp worked and i am able to flash gapps. Thank you very much. I had to pull the cable and battery immediately after odin shows 'pass' message otherwise it will replace the same old stock recovery after reboot. Not sure mine will be replaced after the next reboot but that doesn't matter because my job is done.

see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/requests-team-win-recovery-project-t3420007
join #twrp on freenode IRC and I will work with you to make Galaxy On5 TWRP official.

@vaibhavpandeyvpz, do you live in India? Does your SM-G550FY has Theme Store on 5.1.1?

I don't have the device but my colleague has one. The 5.1.1 did not have a theme store, but the 6.0.1 update does.

I also have the Galaxy on5 with MM. Will wait for a root.

If you install citrio browser, it will boost a little bit your download speed, i download big foles from there(it stills downloading a little slower but citrio gives him a little boost)

Maybe specify your model and country so maybe someone has the firmware you need uploaded somewhere. Otherwise it is hard to help you.

You can install latest factory firmware for your model with Samsung Smart Switch. It will download directly from Samsung servers at full speed and install it on your phone. It's the simplest, fastest way to go back to stock if you don't already have firmware file.

Stock ROM's for the G920W8 can be found here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=38887
Unzip and flash with Odin using Bootloader mode.

Because Odin doesn't work outside bootloader mode. If you don't know what you are doing, have someone more experienced reload the software onto the device.

Also check Samfirm tool (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/general/tool-samfirm-samsung-firmware-t2988647) put in model number and region - auto mode - binary nature + check and decrypt auto then flash in odin

g955f latest firmware but need to downgrade to 7.0

hi all
i got a samsung s8+ with G955FXXU2CRED_CL13569719 firmware on it.
How can i downgrade it to android 7.0?
If i flash 7.0 software i got failed when i flash BL
If i only flash AP the device shows encryption failed and then then i get boot loop with erasing android icon.
Hope some one has a solution here.

u can try downgrade to CRAP firmware (the 1st Oreo) and then try to downgrade to android 7.0 with all files.
I downgraded from 3 previous versiones of Oreo, didnt try agaik with the later ones but i read that the new boatloader in kinda tricky now.

Stability?! Battery?! Lags?! Connectivity?! Source?!
Remove/change PDA reg?! Erase data?! (CSC issue)
Is this rom Nougat or prev Oreo version?!
Some info about this rom?! It comes from some forum's discussion?!
