Is it possible to update to 6.0.1 from 5.1.1 - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
Firstly, I would like to apologize if this question has been answered before, I simply cannot find the answer for it. So I am currently rooted on 5.1.1 with, (according to the About Device section of my phone)
Kernel version:
3.10.61-S6_Unikernel_v9-0000initial
[email protected] #1
Thu Sep 10 19:10:19 BST 2015
Build Number: XtreStoLite Deo Mod v.2.4 - XXU3COI9
According to my model number, it says my model number is SM-G925K, but my original build number was SM-G925W8.
Also, I am using TWRP recovery
So like I have started in the title, I would like to update to 6.0.1 stock, and then root it and install a custom rom. I have bought my phone from Rogers, and am on a 2 year contract with them.
I am COMPLETE noob when it comes to this, so anything to help is appreciated, I recently switched from iPhone to Android
EDIT #1: I am only asking this question because my carrier has not rolled out the firmware yet, and I am not on stock firmware anymore so I was wondering if it was possible to update, I don't want to end up with a bricked device

Okay so instead of updating via smartswitch, I downloaded the firmware via a website (not sure if I am able to mention it here, but I won't anyway) for my model (SM-G925W8) and flashed it via Odin. Then I rooted via CF-AutoRoot by Chainfire, and am currently installing Xtrestolite 3.3.1

What are custom kernels? Do I need one? What is SELinux and should it be Permissive or Enforcing?

SELinux is a set of kernel modifications and user-space tools
u dont need custom kernel as my opinion
custom kernels with comes Permissive
and official kernels comes with enforcing

I don't know if this is significant, but the reason I asked about SELinux is because when I open TWRP manager and it tells me my TWRP version, it says Please set SELinux to Permissive in order to view this

Glad you could get rooted, is there a CWM or TWRP recovery image available for your device? If there isn't one available you may have to compile it yourself using this guide. What are you currently using to try and install recovery?

For any ROMs you would need a custom recovery. Unfortunately as the winter is my busiest time at school, I won't have time to compile a recovery for you until at least the end of March. However if you send me your stock recovery.img and stock boot.img I will see if I have time earlier.

I just need the original boot.img and stock recovery.img for your phone, you can use either terminal emulator or adb shell to dump those. Let me know if you need more detailed instructions.

ear piece problem
Hi boss
Thanks for your wonderfull work
Please I have updated my galaxy v sm-G313HZ and my ear piece cease working, anytime I want to make call have to use speaker out before I can make call. Please help me
we might be needing a new unlocked bootloader for samsung galaxy V. I bet your phone updated on your first use or maybe the newer samsung galaxy vivalto got modded firmware versions thats why all roots are not working right now.
Here's the white screen of death upon recovery if the developers want to see.
luckily I got a stock rom so everytime I test a root and failed, I just flash the stock and it works again.

have u install custom recovery before rooting ? and what the version of firmware do you use ?
Hi, Actually this happens after attempting to install CWM, TWRP or whatsoever custom recovery thru odin. The device is not yet rooted as custom recovery needs to be flashed first. Device is usb debug enabled tho.
firmware is andr 4.4.2 kitkat.

my suggestion is if u decided to install custom rom, so you should be ready with bugs. And about cyanogenmod, i've managed build CM11 rom for galaxy v, but still bootloop. cant open homescreen. i'll try to rebuild and fix it if i have free time. why not CM12 ? bcz the size of source code CM12 is very very large. And i dont have fast connection to download it.

try to use old firmware version. maybe can fix it.
Yup, using the old firware will fix the white screen upon entering recovery BUT, as we are here for "Custom Recovery". I have bought my galaxy v last february only. I think new versions of galaxy V had been modified so custom recovs cannot be flashed.
Note: Everytime I got white screen on attempts to flash any custom recovery, I just flash the stock rom and everythings working again. but, as you see in order to root the device, I need to flash a working custom recovery.
vroot,kingroot,frama root or any other 3rd party program roots doesnt work aswell.

I do not advise you to use vroot, kingroot, framaroot or other third-party app for rooting. I've tried to install custom recovery with any firmware version and everything is fine. So I was also confused with what is actually happening on your device.
BTW, please quote my reply if you want to reply.
I only tried the 3rd party roots when all the flashing (CWM, TWRP) did not succeed. If you check other threads, it is not only me who is having this problem.

None custom ROM is working, G925W8 Canada, any idea guys?

Hello,
Tried all ROMS, none is working, below is the detail:
Installed
1 . CRISSCROSS ROM - no audio, while on call in earpiece and loudspeaker
2 . XtreStoLite-ROM-3.3.1-DPDP.zip ROM, Problem - AFter flash Phone model shows G925F AND NO CONNECTION TO NETWORK, EMERGENCY CALLS ALL TIME, TRIED flashing MODEM for g925w8 no LUCK
3. KIngfisher ROM, after flashing Kingfisher ROM, phone is STUCK AT
*KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING* and phone will not turn ON.
SO , I guess there is NO working CUSTOM ROM fOR G925W8,canada. At the end I flashed stock BOJ7 AND Phone is working perfectly with 5 1 1 G925W8 BOJ7
I'm using the G925W8 on Xtrestolite. You must be missing something. I'm not sure what though

5 Does this rom have spanish langauage? can you check for me?
Thank you

Custom ROMs for that work for W8
I've have confirmation from multiple users that my OZOP Rom is compatible and working flawlessly for the following devices Flat and Edge (rom is Edge based) F/I/T/W8. Could be more this are just the confirmed working devices.
Also OZOP is currently very active with development and actually about to be updated!
What ever Rom you decide is up to you.
Just letting you know there are options available.
Good luck
I believe you need to update your bootloaders using a stock 6.0.1 image or flash them via odin.
Also look in the T mobile section for a custom kernel like stang has a rom showing for. Our devices were basically secondhand tmobile rebranded as W8. Everything is literally the same minus us canadian guys cant use wifi calling.
So in short flash rom, then kernel and let it boot. Once it boots then turn it off and restart into recovery and flash call fix. If you need an updated callfix I can post a link here.
I found if you flash all three before first boot the zip from callfix creates a bootloop. Therefore it tells me the zip needs to be flashed over a built system
Nothing seems to work, No matter what I have No network connection... on any rom..

So the best I've been able to do is get it on a custom rom with no network connection at all. Seems like Im losing the ability to get it working. I tried Wind, telus stock 6.0.1's and i get the SW rev error, I've tried Rogers 5.1.1, and I get the same. Only thing that flashed on my device was "AP_G925W8VLU2AOG2_CL4808800_QB5701859_REV02_user_low_ship.tar" but it didn't boot past Galaxy S6 Edge logo, and recovery wasn't loading to try and factory reset to continue boot. I'm pretty sure this phone is dead.... I mean the custom rom was 6.0.1 with arter kernel, but no service... I'm lost...

Thanks Sir.
Any ideas to my posts above?
guaranteed it's the bootloader and modem.
Once you flash the 6.0.1 ones via ODIN, then both crisscross and xtrolite should work. Crisscross, you will need to flash an independent audio fix which Christ have provided you in the post above.
Xtrolite (which I'm using with Twisted V4 Kernel) has it integrated so you shouldn't have any audio problems. Mind you, if you're still having trouble. Flash back 5.1.1 stock kernel and then let it update officially via samsung kies or OTA. Our phones now have 6.0.1 release so once you do that, you'll automatically have the new 6.0.1 bootloader and modem for our 925w8 phones. Then it'll be simple to flash a custom rom at that point.
Just update stock system to Marshmallow 6.0.1 (or flash stock 6.0.1 via Odin), then flash TWRP, do standard wipe with TWRP (Data, Cache and Dalvik), flash XtreStoLite via TWRP and everything will work
I have canadian S6 Edge and XtreStoLite is working very good

issue is I can't make the 6.0.1 stock files flash, always getting the SW rev error when cm.bin tries to flash, I've tried, Rogers, Wind, Telus stock files, nothing works. On CrissCross right now but not service... I want to get back to stock or at least make the bootloader work.
EDIT: Apparently using the most recent koodo stock, got me back to stock rom and with service! Now to root and do the custom rom properly! Thanks all!

Also look in the T mobile section for a custom kernel like stang has a rom showing for. Our devices were basically secondhand tmobile rebranded as W8. Everything is literally the same minus us canadian guys cant use wifi calling.
So in short flash rom, then kernel and let it boot. Once it boots then turn it off and restart into recovery and flash call fix. If you need an updated callfix I can post a link here.
I found if you flash all three before first boot the zip from callfix creates a bootloop. Therefore it tells me the zip needs to be flashed over a built system

THIS G925W8 is working perfectly in 5 1 1 , I was able to make calls to all networks including GSM and WCDMA, I checked IMEI status with code 197328640 and IMIE status is OK, then after I flashed 6 0 1 and then the IMIE status turns to NOT GOOD and I am unable to make calls and stuck at EMERGENCY CALLS, looks like this PHONE IS JACKED??

error on update " phone OS modified in an unauthorised way"

Hey fellows
I bought a slightly used phone and it shows the above message when I try to update.
This means my phone was rooted before.
Please tell me how to fix this issue.
Will there be any modifications to baseband, kernel,boot loader also?
If this is the case, how to revert back everything to stock
Thanks in advance

Phone looks normal from that picture? Go on phone status... does it say official or custom?
Flashing back to stock firmware should reset it all to official stock then you can upgrade.
Or you can just flash a stock upgrade through odin... that way it will all be reset to official and updated.
Phone Status: Custom
firmware: Custom (in Odin Mode)
Binary: Custom

CRB7(ODIN)Official Fw S8 G950F[PDA G950FXXU1CRB7-CSC G950FOXM1CRAP-BL G950FXXU1CRB7]

Hi, Guys.
I just installed new OREO Firmware CRB7 [PDA G950FXXU1CRB7-CSC G950FOXM1CRAP-BL G950FXXU1CRB7 (DBT) - Changelist 12993656] and I did exactly the same steps as in the previous CRAP Firmware – HERE ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/development/oreoodin-official-firmware-galaxy-s8-t3748669 ).
This time I’ve used a new ODIN, v3.12.10.1, and I didn’t absolutely NOTHING different from what I had already done in the previous flash, so there is nothing more to add to what was said earlier, just follow what it has been said, as simple as that.
I'm so sorry no longer available to answer user questions, but understand that I'm just reporting something I just did, without any kind of problems.
Other questions that could be put beyond all that has been said, I could only answer with certainty if I had experienced this same doubt, that is, I would have to reproduce the problem to give the answer, understand?
Has anyone asked if through an update via update.zip could install Recovery TWRP or Root ... I would say yes, but I can not be sure of this because I never did ... it's a matter of trying!
So I leave here the LINK of new firmware, to be installed via ODIN, just like any other firmware to be installed this way ... there are no secrets.
I also leave LINK for Magisk v16.0 (1600), Magisk Manager v5.6.1, Magisk Uninstaller 2018-02-22 and TWRP 3.2.1-0 dreamlte, for anyone who needs this software.
Good Luck to All

Hi. I have not yet installed any custom ROM, just installed TWRP and Magisk. Later I'm going to test some ROMs, but so far everything is perfect, no problem.
I already had a custom ROM before flashing the new firmware, so maybe I had no problems installing the TWRP or Root
Does this work on 950FD?
I'm on 'CRAP' right now.
Thanks
it does not let me flash the twrp, it tells me that only official binaries

Because phone is on Prenormal Status, no? If so, you may attend 7 days with phone ON, without restart them (I think [emoji848]).

Samsung just released a new Odin version that fixes the problem of the new compression files.
Now the flash is done the old way
PS: Odin version 3.13.1
Please, a mirror of the ROM

Hi.
File to download is not ROM but the Official Stock Firmware for the S8 G950F.
Now, new ODIN with has .lz4 file support, so you can download Official Stock Firmware directly from SamMobile and flash this on your S8 G950F (or other) with the new ODIN.
I leave here LINKs for SamMobile G950F Firmware and ODIN with support for .lz4 files
ODIN (.lz4 support) - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569958654
SamMobile G950F (firmware) - https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G950F/
hello ... after installing without any problem I wanted to install TWRP and I get this message in download mode 'Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed' ... until here comes, I think I'll have to wait a week for it to be unlock ...
I also have a question ... then I can install TWRP, root, magisk, viperfx, etc. ??
I appreciate your advice and experiences in this regard ... or if you know of any solution to avoid having to wait. Thank you.

Yes, same problem.
if I have this message in download mode --- 'Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed' after having installed official CRB7 --- can I flash official AQL5 ROM to go back to version 7 and thus be able to install TWRP ??
Please advise before doing so, as I understand in the state that is today, I must wait a week to install something in download mode ... is it correct?
If I make a mistake without asking, I could be without a phone for a week and I would have to commit suicide ... hahaha
Thank you.
Well I just have to thank the help that trocopassu gave to me to install the rom, was of extreme importance
Best wish to her

Thanks, matte. Congratulations also to you for your decision.
