Softbank (Japan) Galaxy S6 Edge model 404sc / SW-G925Z - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I haven't seen any files for rooting a Softbank Galaxy S6 Edge. Is there anything out there?
Softbank is one of the top four or five cellphone carriers in Japan.
From the android "about" screen:
model number 404sc
android version 5.0.2
baseband 404scscu1aof2
kernelversion 3.10.61-5183936
build number lrx22g.404scscu1aof2
From rebooting into the bootloader
product name sm-g925z
I've seen there are other (I suppose American/UK carrier) sm-g925_ files available for cf auto root, but apparently not the z model specifically.
As far as I'm aware I can't use a non-z file for my z-model phone without risking bricking the phone.
Is there anyone currently working on this? Is there anything I can do / check to use another file or to assist development on this z model?
Many thanks
Ben

I'm in the same boat as you I've been searching on xda and the web for any root access to the 404sc. Got my s6 edge from Softbank too. If you found a solution let me know and I'll do the same. Also what part of Japan are you from?
Thanks again.

I'm staying in Toyohashi.

Just a heads up still have not found a way to root the 404sc but we may be able to flash a unbranded Samsung firmware that would be 5.1.1.

rooting
hai, still can't root s6 edge softbank (404sc) ? maybe this will help you to rooting. Just try with twrp recovery. And use twrp 2.8.6.0 (chinese - zeroltezt).
its work 100% for me.

Thanks dikmutun for the suggestion but to install twrp recovery you have to be rooted first. Do you own a 404sc and are using softbank? If you have have root please tell us the procedure so we can share this with other 404sc users.

Please take a screen shot of your about phone setting with model number and a screen shot of SU installed. Also did you use odin to flash? This is to show root was successful and I will proceed.
Thanks again.

Thanks for the responce so you use Japan softbank phone in indonesia? Is the LTE BANDS the same as Japan LTE? I looked at the website you suggested but was difficult to follow tell your procedure if you can again. If your rooted I don't think you can get OTA now. On a different subject have you found a way to unlock your boooader?
Did you also try flashing the Hong Kong 9250 stock rom for the 404sc?

dikmutun's advice works, thanks!
Update from original poster. Problem solved. I used dikmutun's exact advice below for downloading Odin and the Chinese TWRP tar file.
I got root with no problems.
After a bit more playing around with root apps, I can now tether my cellphone data to wifi hotspot, edit my APN, backup my apps with titanium backup.
Thanks!

questions/feedback please
hey guys,
Glad to see some Softbank's GS6 Edge users here.
I am thinking also of getting this phone from Softbank this coming Nov. 2015.
But I am still thinking about it since I am reading a lot of users having some problems with it especially Battery life, RAM management and Lags.
Since you already have the GS6 Edge, how was it?
Are you encountering those problems or issues?
Would you please give some feedbacks based on your actual usage?
Thanks a lot in advance.

The main issue is battery life if your a medium to heavy user be prepared to have a portable charger by mid day. If your a light user you should be able to not charge until later on the evening. Great phone just the battery life could be better. On a side note if you decide to get it get the gold color looks sweet. Never get tired at look in at my phone!

Hi Primod808,
Thanks for the feedback.
If battery is the only main problem, i think i can deal with it since i am always carrying a powerbank.
My great concern is the lag or sluggishness.
Are you encountering it? Is it tolerable?
I still have some more questions if you don't mind.
What was your phone before the GS6?
How long you've been using your GS6?
Have you successfully rooted it?
If yes, is it possible to remove all Softbank's unnecessary Apps?
I am very sorry for so many questions.
By the way, yes, just in case i'll be getting the GS6, i am planning to get the gold platinum color also.
Thank you in advance.

I have a 404sc model JP Galaxy s6.
I used this method to get root access.
I can detect no problems at all.
I do not use the standard touchwiz **** UI.

I would not do it unless you want to brick your phone. The difference is the processor.

there are no roms for you because there are maybe a total of 3 guys on here with a Korean note. All came. posted the same question once. everyone said don't do it. they never posted again.
you are better off swapping it for a i717 or N7000 if you want to mod it. flashing a Rom made for any other device than YOURS is asking for a brick.
when you say useful answers, do you mean until someone tells you what you want to hear?
there are reasons your model number is completely different. its not only cosmetic.
to my knowledge, only one person said he would take a bullet and flash it anyways, and to hell with the consequences. He has not reported back...yet.
I, for one, would not risk a $600 device on a gamble.
What I meant by useful answer is ; a person answering or writing some info who knows this business and can give a detailed answer regarding the flashing . Because a person who works with these kind of devices would know if the device has exactly the same specs or not and if it would be safe to flash by looking at the specs sheet . Or at least he would have an idea about it... Additionally they might have a friend who has done something like this in the past with different devices... I am sure there are a lot more people who has this korean version but they dont feel encouraged to try anything or even open a thread because of the answers like this. I am pretty sure there are Koreans reading these posts too so they might have something to share. All I am trying to say is because this device costs 1200$ in my country I bought it from Korea for 550$ while I had the chance. And just wanted to see if there are solutions for some questions regarding korean version of this model .
But thx for your reply anyways...

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S2 Wimax Support?!?

That's the model number in the about phone screen? What about on the label under the battery?
EDIT: I see, after a quick google search, it is yet another variant. Most common in Japan, where you are. I was unable to find out what SoC/chipset this phone uses, so do NOT use just any Galaxy S2 root method randomly. Especially don't use any from this forum for the I9100. Chances are very good that will brick your phone. Sorry I don't have any better answers for you.

I don't know. I've never used it. Look it up.
rooted.
I have had this phone for about a month. Just to say that I rooted it the day i got it.
I just used an old microSD card and rooted from this link. (The link to the .zp file is gone, but i found another way - see second link. Should also work fine)

http://blog.livedoor.jp/kz_gin/archives/cat_136988.html
Anyway, its great because I managed to get rid of a lot of AU bloatware. Now trying to figure out how to replace the horrible AU mail programs (SMS/MMS - they both suck so badly) with GO SMS PRO. No idea what the MMS settings for KDDI are though. SMS works fine through GO SMS PRO.
What I would ultimately like to do is to flash this with a better optimized rom. i feel there is so much potential for this phone, but AU (like most other carriers) has filled it with junk....
sooooo...if google translate is correct ( when is ever) I'm suppose to download the recovery.zip to sd card...install it...reboot...then install the root.zip from sd card and reboot and that should give me root for this phone?? any chance of me bricking it????
screw it ill give it a try...lol....balls to the ways...by the way i'm looking into the APN/MMS settings for KDDI...you know your AU address...
THis worked outstanding...except it wouldn't read the sd card when i tried the root.zip install....but all i did was used file manager...copied it to the internal sd...reboot into recovery and installed the root.zip....i shall make a new thread with this information from you....i know there are more of the SGS2 Wimax users....let the root madness begin...
EDIT: I put together a small guide on How To Root SG2 Wimax here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1576000 ...let me know if you guys have any questions and I'll try to answer them the best I can....

[Help]How to root or toggle fullscreen on Sharp SH930W

Hello developers.
First, I swear that I already searched all the forum posts for my device support (Sharp SH930W - Japan smartphone) but there are none.
I can't find the way to root my phone and of course I can't install ROM (if available) for this phone too . I know that this is not a famous smartphone but it running Android 4.1.1 and have all the standard apps, the phone is quite powerful itself (dual core, 2Gb RAM, 5inch IGZO screen)
If there is noway to root it, perhaps help me to toggle fullscreen mode (hide status bar, bottom bar). I tried many app on CHPlay but all of them for rooted device or older Android version.
Please help.
er, emergency. Please Help?

So, right now the situation is:
SHBreak didn't work
Bin4ry's root didn't work
No flashable custom recovery available
Can't extract stock recovery (to get started with CWM builder)
How are we supposed to get started? Probably by finding a proper exploit, but I can only wait for that
Bin4ry said that his root won't work (I checked out on the pre-FeelUX firmware as well) and I still haven't got an answer from the guy responsible for SHBreak. Maybe somebody who speaks Japanese could help in the communication process

S6 EDGE (SM-G9250) not compatible with Gear VR

Guys, sorry if this is already posted, I tried to find any similar topic on this forum but I go not luck.
I am one of the several owners of the S6 Edge Hong Kong Version: SM-G9250 // G9250ZTU1AODC
I also got Samsung Gear VR from Best Buy and for my surprise they are not compatible.
Does anyone if there is a solution to this? Is there any custom ROM for this device that may make the trick!?
Thanks a bunch!

It Says something about Software update required, however there is not update. I already have Android 5.0.2. After talking to Samsung VR Customer Support they said the Phone and the VR Gear must be acquired in the same country. This is why I wonder if installing an American ROM will make it work!!

VERY eager to find out if anyone gets this to work. I also have a G9250 HK version on AODC and bought m VR headset in Japan but no joy.
I tried changing firmware to another region but i am a bit of a noob with it. It fails always on NAND write. (as in doesnt write at all)
Any thoughts on how to get this working?

I am in the US, I bought it in Amazon without knowing this was the Hong Kong version. We will need someone smarter than me to root it and install an "American" firmware and see what happens!
Well.... I just talked to Samsung Customer Support and after several questions I got this information:
1) Gear VR Will not work with ANY international Version
2) Gear VR Will not work with ANY unlocked Version
3) Gear VR will not work ever unless you buy it thru a Carrier
So.... I asked them, the only way to use Samsung S6 with the carrier that I want and Also being compatible with GEAR VR is buying in T-Mobile and then asking them to unlock it? Answer was - Yes
I also asked them, If I live in Hong Kong and I want GEAR VR, is samsung going to release a helmet for that model? Answer was - No
So..... I give up.
Note4 had similar issues, here are some of their solutions:
Changing build.prop is one way to get gear VR working on note 4.

Rooting for a S6

Hey so I was hoping someone could help me root my samsung galaxy s6, I know it's a super old phone but I don't think you need the new one every year. I only want a method that involves using an apk since im too lazy to use a pc. I am running 7.0 and my base band version is g920aucu6aqc1. I have been searching for a while now and none have worked so if you know of one or can make one that would be much appreciated. :fingers-crossed:
