[Q] Rooted S6 Edge, System Status is now Custom, Can't Update - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know rooting is a risk but never had this issue with the Galaxy S3.
I rooted the Galaxy S6 Edge using Kinguser in order to remove carrier crapware. Post root, Settings->About Device->Status->Device Status = "Custom".
Attempting an OTA update, the phone reports "The operating system on your device has been modified in an unauthorized way. Try downloading software updates using Smart Switch on your PC or visit a customer service centre".
Attempting update from PC using Smart Switch, error message is "ErrorCode=5,ErrorMessage=The operation completed successfully." Despite the content of the message, the phone is not updated.
What are the options to get the update? I have invested a lot of time in organizing and setting up apps so I would like to avoid spending a day doing a factory reset. I have Galaxy S6 Edge 128 GB from Rogers Wireless in Canada.

just download your firmware and flash it with Odin

Won't that overwrite the settings and content on the phone? I guess I could back it up with Smart Switch first.

I have similar problem with my S6 Edge 64 GB. I rooted it with "CF Autoroot" and it went fine but then the storage of my phone dropped from 64GB to 16GB. Also when I try to run my banking apps they didn't work. I guess because the device was rooted. To get my storage back to 64 GB I flashed phone with 5.1.1 as 6.0.1 didn't worked. Now I am running 5.1.1 with Custom status with full 64GB storage. I tried to update the software through OTA but get message the device is modified and can't be updated. Also with smart switch, it says SM-G925F is not supported
I also tried to flash stock firmware O2U-G925FXXU1AOCV-20150410182552.zip but it keeps getting failed.
Can you please advise how can I get back to official status with 6.0.1

You can go back to official status, you tripped Knox and it blew the Efuse on your device which you can't repair. Best bet is to use odin and install original firmware back to the device, put the file in AP and flash it. It should take 5 min to complete. If you've already done it and come up with errors what are they? Need more info dude to help you.

I tried uploading stock firmware downloaded from androidrootz/sammobile with ODIN but it keeps getting failed. No matter what port I used, its not working.
No errors, just it keeps getting failed

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G925F/
Try install the marshmallow update.
If you don't want to try, go into recovery and factory reset and boot up fully and go through the setup and try flash again with ODIN.
If ODIN still fails try a different usb and USB port. It can be picky sometimes.
Also you could try and push the Firmware over with ADB. (I don't know how to use ADB so just Google instructions.)

At which point is it getting failed? Example... "hidden.img fail" a screen shot of odin will help mate?

I have tried with three different ports and i'm using genuine samsung data cable with lates odin software.
Due to less posts than 10 i am unable to attach screenshots.
after hidden.img it gets FAIL

hidden.img fail means you need to flash the PIT file.
Best thing would be to look on sam mobile and download and flash 6.0.1 FW.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/66479/G925FXXS3DPB1_G925FOXA3DPB1_XEU/
This is the one I had to flash which didn't need pit to be flashed seperately which got me up and running easily. Just backup your stuff.

[Q] Firmware fail.

Hi all,
Today I've tried to re-install Android 2.3.4 Kernel KG1 on Samsung Galaxy S2 because of some weird issues on my phone.
I just wan't to give my phone a clean up.
I'm still kinda new with Android.
I wan't it to install the 2.3.4 via Odin on my Galaxy s2, unfortunately it failed.
I get this particular message on my screen.
(Big) Phone..(Yellow Triangle with Explenation mark)..Computer screen.
Underneath it sais,
''Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again''
It doesn't detect my phone on Kies even though I've already installed Samsung's USB drivers.
I need help with this, does somebody knows the solution.
Sidenote, I can still access Download Mode
Kind regards.
*** (UPDATE)*** I've installed the stock KG1 kernel again via Donwload mode, The (Firmware fail logo and message) is gone only now my phone is stuck at the bootup with a yellow triangle and explenation mark underneath the Samsung Galaxy SII boot logo and it won't boot up. (I cant acces Recovery Mode but I still can enter Download mode

Because installing a new firmware Fails all the time.
I installed the same Firmware via Odin, but it won't go further. I see FACTORYFS (or something) wait for like 1 or 2 minutes till i see a glimpse of the green progress bar and BAM! out of nowhere it is telling me, FAIL (RED).
I really need a solution.
Are you using the Samsung data cable, have you tried different USB ports on the pc, have you tried a different PC
I really need some help out here people.

Simliar Issue
Hi,
I believe I have a similar issue. I just rooted for my first time using Odin and SuperOneclick. Everything seemed to go as planned, but now I can't connect to anything. I am wondering if this might be because I need to change another setting? I was searching the forums for a similar issue and this seems to be a hard search to find results for. Seems like most of the rooting has been done in the EU so far on this phone.
Issue: No service, No Data, Wifi Does not Work.
SuperOneClickv2.0b1
Odin3-v1.85
xwkdd_inesecure.tar
My current phone settings are:
Samsung Galaxy S II (Sprint Version)
Model #: SPH-D710
Kernel 2.6.34.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513

Perhaps installing a new firmware (Android 2.3.4 KG1) would solve this issue.
You got modem problems, and by installing a new firmware via Odin you will replace your current Firmware/Kernel with a brand new one.
I think this is the solution.
You should give it a try.

Thanks for the response =)
I went ahead and tried to install GT-I9100_XWKG1_insecure. Still no 3G, network service or Wifi.
I agree, I think its the firmware. I guess the next step is to figure out the exact firmware needed for the Sprint US version.
I might give a few more a try from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101671
I may be way stupid, but I didn't think there even was an SGS2 on Sprint/CDMA? I wonder if you are flashing SGS2 FW on the new Epic 4G Touch (is that it's name?....the 4.5" one?)> I think that is verboten.
Actually, I think your right. They are calling it the "Samsung Galaxy S II, Epic 4G Touch." I guess it would make sense that the firmware for the similar versions might not work on this one. Crap. So now I have the wrong firmware installed, makes sense.
I have to catch a flight tomorrow afternoon. I might have to return it if I can't figure out what firmware to get. I am read posts where people say they are working on a version, but I still can't figure out what the original kernel version was.
Thanks for the reply.
Be careful. If you return it in that condition they might void your warranty because you flashed the FW. I would try posting in the correct forum for the Epic. I was just in the Epic forum and yes people are saying flashing SGS2 FW will brick the Epic. I think I read yesterday that the Epic isn't even flashable yet too??

Galaxy S iii won't boot, stuck on logo screen, can't enter recovery.

I have a rooted Australian Galaxy s iii i9300 running stock android 4.0.4 and Siyah Kernel V.1.5.3, both of which I flashed about 3 weeks ago.
My phone has been running perfectly, last night before going to bed I plugged my phone into the charger as usual. I didn't do anything out of the ordinary with it, I didn't alter any settings or install anything new and it has been weeks since I've flashed anything. I woke up this morning to see my phone stuck on the 'Galaxy S iii' logo screen as if it had automatically rebooted itself during the night and got stuck. I've tried removing the battery and turning it back on several times but it just keeps getting stuck on the logo screen. I can't enter clockwork recovery mod but I can still enter download mode.
Is my phone bricked?
How did this happen when I didn't even do anything?
What should I do?
Should I try re-flashing the stock ics rom?
Re-root
Try re-rooting it with Odin (from Download Mode), then you might be able to go into Recovery Mode.
Have you recently installed any app? Coz there must be a reason for this to happen.
If the above comment does not work, next step would be to order a jig to force it into download mode.

I can't even get into normal recovery mode, so I'm not sure re-rooting will help (I'll still give it a try though). Assuming it does work, what should I do once I get into Clockwork recovery?

Did you flash the Stock Rom via Odin with 1 part file? You should try it with 3 part File Stock Rom and flash via Odin.

Thanks for the reply. Where can I find the 3 part file version of the stock Rom? Can you point me in the direction of a tutorial for flashing 3 part files with Odin? I'm only familiar with flashing a single tar file.
Seems as if this becomes a common problem, since this is like the 1001st thread about a S3 shutting down while on charge and not being able to reboot.
This kinda scares me...

Really? I did a quick search before posting this, sorry for the repost. Did anyone come up with a solution in previous threads?
I've searched and searched but I still can't find the 3 file firmware. I don't even know what I'm looking for really. Can someone please link me to a 3 part Rom compatible with my phone?
While my search for similar problems before creating this thread yielded very few results, I have since found the other threads Ch0ka was referring to by searching 'There is no PIT partition'. It seems that if flashing a three part file and repartitioning with Odin doesn't work, the general consensus is that I'll have to send it to a service center for repair. Haven't I voided the warranty on my phone by rooting it? will they be able to tell I've rooted it or is it damaged beyond that point? I really can't afford to be paying for repairs right now.
I'm so upset, I still don't understand how my phone could just brick itself overnight! Could someone please give me some advice?

I need help [urgent] anything appreciated

I need some serious help. I have no idea what's going on. I was coming from CR se 3.1 to Jellybeans 20 so I decided to do a data wipe and clear everything and then my phone wouldn't turn on. I couldn't even access recovery. I gave up and decided to do a clean Odin restore with the root 66 stock system md5 and new pit file but I no longer have a recovery installed. I was going to do the casual root again but my phome will not connect to any computer. When I connect it just charges I don't get a new device found or anything. I tried connect it to another computer too and it just did the same thing. All I need is for my phone to connect to my computer so I can restore it to default, install a recovery/root, and install jelly beans. But nothing is corresponding with me. Please someone help me. I'm really desperate for some help right now. Please. I'm freaking out. I don't know what to do. Anything is appreciated. If there's any way you can pm me so we can chat that would be cool too. I'm just freaking out and have been for the past 4 hours.
When did you root your phone? If you originally used casual on the old baseband then flashed roms on the vramc3 modem you need to update casual to the one that unlocks the new modem. I don't see how you could've bricked the phone like that though. Does anything show up on the screen when you try to boot into recovery?
hmmm did you try doing a full odin back to stock and locked?

The modem has nothing to do with rooting, unlocking, or anything of that nature. I believe you are referring to the firmware version correct?

I don't Skype but that's how to do it hope it helps
first steps aren't available to me, there are no options, it goes straight to the screen asking me if I want to do download mode by pressing volume up. I can get to download mode, when I try to load the md5 file via odin it fails every time, I have tried many different md5 files. some times it is an AUTH problem, sometimes NAND problem. Why is this so complicated? Why can't somebody just give me clear instructions that work? I can get to download mode, I can launch odin. I need a file that works and to know which boxes need to be checked.
I have done it did you download the Verizon nk1 file from the link in the post? That's where I got my files ......... Shizz its probably the version of Odin you are using try 1.85 I never have problems with that one but the others are sometimes hit and miss if you have the right files and its recognized by Odin then it has to be the Odin version you are using I have about seven different versions but I only use 1.85

Boxes just leave the same don't check flash lock that's for sure

If its in a tar.Md5 then it does not need to be extracted also
I have tried the older version of ODIN you recommended, 1.85 and the md5 file you gave me the link to. It doesn't work either, it will fail at some stage that says AUTH, which is what happens on the others, sometimes at the NAND part. fails very quickly, 3-4 seconds into it after I hit start. Anyone else have any advice? Is there another method besides ODIN because that seems like a bunch of nonsense to me, since I have tried about every version of ODIN and md5 file listed on these forums.
I have the same issue on my SCH-I545 that was running 5.1 Lollipop OF1. I flashed it back to OC1 and rooted the phone. I then flashed back to OF1 and everything was working perfect. My ultimate goal though was learn and to install custom roms but with the boot loader being locked on Lollipop you are limited to what you can install. So reading through forums I saw that there are a lot of people running @stang5litre custom rom. I found and followed the instructions after reading through almost the entire 300+ page thread. I did it exactly how it was posted but after the rom flashed and rebooted the phone would just hang on the custom boot screen. I waited like @stang5litre has said (for up to 15 min.) when it still didn't reload I pulled the battery and rebooted again. It still just hangs on the custom boot screen. I have re-flashed OF1 and OC1 with the same results.
Can I flash back to 4.4.2 like @Joker1716 is saying above? I thought once you have upgraded to Lollipop you can't revert back.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I bet FF moved wipe to at the end. Which is why your not booting. You have to set it twice with FF or it moves wipe to the end. This is a known bug with FF. Before you hit the bolt make sure the order is correct and you will boot up fine. Happy to help you

Thanks for the quick reply @stang5litre....I did move wipe back to the front as I read to do so in your thread. But now the phone will not get past the custom boot screen even after I've re-flashed the OF1 & OC1 files. Do I have any other options on fixing this phone? I don't have a problem buying a new one as I've had this for a while but I really hate to give up on this if there is away to get it back up and running.

I have similar issuse. I'm on OF1.
Rooted then tried to flash newest TWRP via the app. Wont reboot or go into recovery. Can get it to reboot unless I odin a OC1 or OF1 kernel.
Best way to ODIN back to OF1 or an earlier firmware?

What were you originally on(base)? If your not mdk then you cantt use TWRP.
You would need to Odin back to what you came from re root and then go through the the process. But I need to know what base you were on when you rooted.
Thanks

2. Odin KERNEL MODEM 6.0.1
3. Screen shot of phone info settings after I Odin Sboot and Kernel
3. Flash N9150BPE1-Binh24ROM.zip
Took 15 minutes on the LTE Sprint boot screen.
Took 3 to 5 minutes on the Preparing phone set up screen
Was not able to connect to Wi-Fi, and no phone signal, and Screen shot of phone settings after phone set up.
One thing i forgot to mention is that after all its set up i get a pop op aboit sd card being corrupt and to tap it to fix it/format it.
Do you want me to flash or Odin something before I put my back up, as my phone it only good for not being a phone right now?
