Hello guys,
I've gotten my new s6 edge 64 gig sapphire black just today .
I noticed 5.1.1 updates are rolling over to AT T s6 .
So I would like to know if it's advisable to root my device on 5.0.2 or wait for 5.1.1?
How easy would it be to update to 5..1.1 assuming I rooted my 5.0.2 now.
I'm currently running E3 .
And how easy is it to root/unroot as I am unaware about knox security .
Please enlighten me .
Thank you.

just flash your firmware again
If you chose to root now you cannot update thro your device anymore, but simply, just download the proper firmware version for your device, then flash it thro odin (it wont trip knox), or alternatively you can update thro smart switch (the new version of Samsung Kies) when it reaches your country.

Hey all
5.0 has been came out to galaxy s5.
I want make stock rooted Firmware to flash with mobile odin to keep knox 0x0(other tools like towelroot dosent work in 5.0)
I have this Firmware http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/44600/G900FXXU1BOC7_G900FOJK1BOC2_ILO/ that come to my OTA update, this version inculde many improves to my language, how i can make this version rooted(only root, no other things) to flash.
Thanks!!!
I'm currently on official
AP: G925FXXU1AOCV non-rooted bought in Belgium
CP : G925FXXU1AOCW
CSC from Luxembourg: G925FLUX1AOCN
I heard that 5.1 should be released in June.
one forth of my tasker profiles require root... So i'm interested in rooting asap but wanna keep being up to date with the officials fw versions (since i still have the night clock bug on mine)
Question:
- If i root it with PingPong, i know i'll lose OTA, so question is how will i know if a new firmware is released ? Does it matter if get a different CSC if necessary ??
- With all those differents fw versions and letters, i'm getting lost , how can i know i have the latest up to date ?
Shoud i proceed this way ?
1) I'll root using pingpong
2) When a new fw is released , is it better (and possible?) to use Smart Switch to get the official update ? (of course i know it will unroot)
3) will i loose my data doing so ???
3) Is Odin better to use than Smart Switch ? if so, why ?
Thanks for your help

News sites & these forums will let us know when new updates drop.
Using Odin to flash a previous firmware will not wipe data.
Once the 5.1.1 update comes out, someone will forward the kernel & build prop info to idler, who will in turn let us know whether Ping-pong Root is still possible.

Hi,
I have a SM-G925FQ
This is a specific model for Turkish market.
I have rooted it with root method for SM-G925F
Now I want to unroot , to update it when Marshmallow is distributed for this model.
How can I unroot ? (any easy methods ?)
And then of course I will root when it is updated to 6.0
- Do we have root for Marshmallow possibility now ?
- Is it better to upgrade with root ?
- Or is it better to do it as I would (unroot then upgrade ?)

You can only safely take the ota by reflashing your stock rom via odin if the odin flash file exists. I recommend searching sammobile.com to find it and if its not there 9/10 it doesnt exist. Idk if root exists for your varient on mm but i do know that there is a root people use but i would say it is just for them. G925F only just got mm so root may be tricky. Anything else further i can help with is odin flashing to unroot besides that there is nothing else i can tell you other than you need a pc.

Flashing stock rom via Odin is a good idea to unroot and have the opportunity to upgrade.
But SM-G925FQ rom does not exist on Sammobile.
Once I had downloaded it through Samsung's official PC app (was not Kies, the newer one)
But I don't remember how I had done that.
Does anyone know how to download original rom through PC app ?

Is there any rooted (and possibly deodexed) rom based on G925FXXU3DPBG ?
Hello
I flashed the latest firmware available for my S6 edge (SM-G925F) : G925FXXU3DPDP (XEF).
I've never used Android 5.1.1 on my phone and I asks to you if downgrade is possible at this point (latest BL I think) and if yes, how ?
Thanks you for your further replies
Bye.
I Think Once u Flashed The latest Firmware U can't Go back
Because Of bootloader
Bt U can try Download Android LP And boot loader And put Ur phone in Download Mode Flash with odin
i updated on 6.02...
didn´t like it...
flashed back to 5.1.1 stock without problems (odin)
Hello poci,
You were running with which firmware ?
It's easy to go back to lollipop?
I'm reading some comments off people wich say No, ando some less who say Yes.
i made an OTA update from 5.1.1 to 6.0.2... but i didn´t like the battery drain on 6.0.2......(or 6.0.1 i don´t know anymore)
after clean install of 6.0.2....there was no change at all...
then i went back to 5.1.1 by flashing a stock 5.1.1. firmware with odin...no trouble or anything else...
If flash fails, is my device will be hardbricked ???
if you have the right firmware...i would say "no"
so why should it fail?
i used this firmware for my o2 edge
G925FXXU3QOLD_G925FTEF3QOL1_G925FXXU3QOJB_HOME.tar
Beceause newest bootloaders blocks downgrade, you was in which firmware on Marshmallow ?
don´t know exactly...60.1 then
when 6.0.2 blocks downgrade...
Hi,
I have a Norwegian Tab E 9.6 (SM-T560) with Kitkat 4.4.4.
The US/Canadian version SM-T560NU has got official upgrade to Nougat 7.1.1.
I have downloaded the XAC Canada version and I am trying to install it using Odin, without success.
I load the firmware file using the PDA file tab, but the installation will not go through. Connection ok, but odin stops either and NAND Write or earlier.
From what I understand it should be perfectly possible to install an official stock firmware from another region (I did so once on my asian Samsung S7 Edge), but not working here.
What could be the reason for this not working? Do I need to change CSC or something? If so how without rooting and without using the dialer code trick (as there is no dialer on a WIFI only unit).
Or some special settings in Odin? I only have the default settings marked.
I have tried many versions of Odin, from the latest to the earliest.
Please help or point me in the right direction.
