is this galaxy s6 refurbished or not ? and why the system still in lollipop ?​

It's a used phone. If you look at the kernel it's a custom one from this forum. Also,it's rooted. Return the phone if you can.
It won't have a warranty anyway..

nothing wrong with the phone. You have a galaxy s6 phone rooted and on unikernel which is a kernel developed here on xda galaxy s6. To get the MM 6.0 flash any of the Roms in this fourm which i think are way better than factory stock. They are still stock Roms but with some mods, performance and debloat done. If you choose to stay to get back to Stock flash through odin. Loads of info on the forums for that

[Resolved] Not Able to Update my Device Manually Post Flashing STOCK ROM

Hello Team,
I recently purchased a new Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) few days back. After the initial settings, I got a new ROM OTA update. However, I being a true Android lover tried Rooting my J5 (2016). However, the link that I used did not worked and now my Device status has changed from 'Official' to 'Custom'.
EDIT - The above Issue has been Resolved since I flashed STOCK ROM that changed my Device Status back to "Official". However, a new issue has been cropped up now.
You can take a look at the current Software Info. that would give you an insight onto the current OS that is installed on the device after the flashing of STOCK ROM which I downloaded from Sam Mobiles.

and this:
Here is another screenshot that tells you the exact error which I receive now whenever I try looking for Software Updates manually.
I want to know what could be the issue here since earlier the Device Status changed to CUSTOM (when I tried rooting the device). However, when I downloaded the STOCK ROM from SAM MOBILES and flashed it properly through ODIN, this is the new error that is troubling me.
NOTE: After flashing the STOCK ROM, I did not perform any kind of: Data Wipe or Cache Wipe.
Can that be creating this error here? I don't think just because I did not Clean Wiped my Cache and Data could be the reason behind this issue. However, still I am looking forward to hearing some response from the official developers on this.
Thanks and regards.

No working WiFi (Stock Lollipop still continues to Bootloop)

Okay so since my last thread I decided to try updating my phone again after over a year being stuck on 4.4.4. I ran into the same problems. So I decided to take a shot installing a custom rom with the procedure of:
1) Installing latest firmware 18.6.A.0.182 which bootloops on my phone.
2) Updating the bootloader.
3) Installing the recovery according to the rom (twrp)
4) Wipe System, Data, Cache & Dalvik
5) Install ROM
6) Install open gapps
7) Finish!
So far I have tried:
CyanogenMod 13 6.0.1,
LineageOS 14.1 7.1.1
OmniRom 7.1.1,
They all have the same issues, the WiFi doesn't work (sometimes SIM isnt detected with OMNI) else everything is fine. I was actually surprised how optimized they were. credz to devz

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If I turn the WiFi on it instantly goes off on Android 6 and it appears to "load" briefly on Android 7 before turning it off.
The MAC adress for the WiFi is also unusual it displays as "02:00:00:00:00:00"
Since I'm unsure if I'm doing something wrong myself or my phone is faulty I didn't want to report any bugs.
If anyone has any idea how to get my phone back running I would really appreciable it!
Apart from Stock Sony 4.4.4 of course!
Thanks for your time!

Question Samsung A12 IMEI bricked

Hey Guys !
It's been a long time since I left Android mods and a lot has changed since 2015
I managed to lost both the IMEI from my cousin Samsung A12(dual SIM) after tried this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/installing-twrp-and-linageos.4334465/ .
The fault it's on me and not on the guide, I lost the backup file.
I managed to get until the last step before flash the Lineage OS from ADB Sideload.
I format everything and then i couldn't make a connection with the ADB sideload and tried to get back to stock firmware with ODIN.
After flash the firmware i lost both IMEI.
Things I tried :
~ Clean install with ODIN (from the guide)
~Tried to change the IMEI with different apps with root
~Right now I'm trying to install every possible ROM from this site https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-A125F/COS

All replies are welcome !
Best regards,

I thought MediaTek will change but its still the same pain in the ...

EDIT
I managed to get back both IMEI with this version, A125FXXU1AUC3 .
Just to help any other with the same problem.
Best regards,
Leon

Deleted but another alternatives is the downgrade or flash android 10 CP with the last update (This only works with binary 1 firmwares)
In my opinion is so stupid this bug/error and I tink the Knox 0x1 affects this problem (All firmwares with no imei problem has the secured by Knox splash) but is my opinion

SM-T530 (Samsung Tab 4 10.1) downgraded to unusable version

I tried for the first time flashing on of my devices. Samsung supported the tablet until Android version 5 and now I tried to load Lineage OS 18.1 Android 11. I used Odin and TWRP. It was fine only Google services didn't work (tried OpenGapps, NikGapps and they loaded fine but no Google apps worked on the device) so I tried to flash it back to stock. I didn't have a backup, so I went online and downloaded from sfirmware a firmware from Argentina, which is not my region, was fine but WIFI didn't work. Then flashed a Romanian (my region) firmware from samfw.com but it is a weirdo developer version on Android 4.4.2 with a changed bootloader.

My concern now is that I can't load TWRP anymore onto the tablet Odin stuck on SetupConnection, the cable is good, Developer Options are enabled. I would like to wipe the tablet and download the stock Android 5 or any other Android that would work well with 1.5gb of ram.

I assume you went through all 78 pages of the help subforum for your device and didn't find the solution ?

Not really, as I said the twrp version I am using doesn't want work on the device anymore and I just want to wipe it for now so I can flash normal Android to it.
EDIT A helpful user on that forum said that in 4.2.2 the button combinations were different for some reason, now I'm inside twrp.
