S6 Flat 5.1.1 installed with S6 Edge firmware [HELP] - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
My model is changed to SM-G925K [S6 Edge] and my phone is a Flat S6. My android version is 5.1.1 on XtreStoLite Deo Modv.2.4 - XXU3COI9.
My Kernel Version is 3.10.61-S6_unikernel_v9_0000_initial and baseband is G920FXXU3ZPA1. I want to update to android N and obviously, I cannot. I forgot what to do since the last time I touched this phone and rooting was a long time ago.
My question is what bootloader should I update to in order to update to android N and get rid of the edge variant on this phone. Thanks in advance.

[FIXED] Followed the instructions on this website to update to 6.0.1 and then installed a custom 7.0 rom in TWRP.

TWRP on Galaxy E5 with Android KitKat 4.4 (SM-E500M)

Hi
I've read this post where I can download a TWRP build for SM-E500H with Android 5.1.1 and it says it has been tested with SM-E500M successfully.
I have a SM-E500M but with KitKat 4.4 Installed (Lollipop hasn't officially arrived for my device and I don't want to install Indian or Russian update since I don't know if it will break something).
Does anyone know if there is a chance that it will work with my device without loosing my data?.
I'm not interested in rooting my device, I only want to install TWRP.
I thank you for your time. :good:

Thanks,
I think you need to downgrade from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1. Using this thread for reference. Caution it mentions PD2 firmware to downgrade from. So if your on later firmware it may not work. Just read through thread and see if someone asked or did downgrade from later version.

Then use this thread to root. I don't believe any rom for Verizon s6 exist on this version of Android as well as xposed for Samsung. I may be wrong but just FYI.

SM-G935P (Sprint) S7 Edge rooted 6.0.1 to rooted 7.0.0?

Hello, I'll jump right in;
I'm wondering if it's possible to go from rooted 6.0.1 to rooted Nougat 7.0.0 (superman rom or something) without having to go back to the stock firmware in between.
So to be perfectly clear:
I have 6.0.1 SM-G935P ROOTED
And I'm trying to get to:
7.0 (nougat) SM-G935P ROOTED
And I want to know if you can skip updating to OFW 7.0 and skip straight to CFW 7.0
(old PSP terminology: OFW official firmware/CFW custom firmware)
Phone info:
Baseband G935PVPu2APE1
Build MMB29M
Model SM-G935P
Android V 6.0.1
EDIT:
Is 7.0.0 only for unlocked phones? If so, is it possible to unlock my version/model and will I still be able to use my Sprint network with an unlocked phone? Thanks guys!
Edit #2:
Also, is there a list of custom roms for specific devices anywhere? Or would any custom rom made for S7 Edge work on any S7 Edge? I'm trying to get substratum working and it says I need a rom that's compatible with OMS and Masquerade.

Some question about flashing a ROM for my Samsung (newb here)

So I have the Galaxy S5 SM G900F, running Android 5.0 , no more software update for this device, well at least in my country.
It has become very laggy, many apps crashes such as Spotify and Snapshat and it just sucks overall. I'm planning on installing the 6.0 marshmallow ROM following the steps from this thread hoping it'll fix the problem. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...m-official-android-6-0-1-marshmallow-t3319376
1- Does it matter which country I should download the firmware on sammobile? Because in Lebanon, there's only the 4.4.2 version, even thought I have the 5.0
2-In the thread, the OP said " flash stock Android 5.0 Lollipop firmware first before upgrading to Android 6.x.x Marshmallow firmware to avoid any issues." What does he mean? To do a backup of my existing firmware? If so how should I do that?
3- Would my data such as pictures, contacts, apps be affected?
Bump
Anyone?
