Hi
Hoping someone can help!
I'm wondering if I can flash the unbranded official S6 edge firmware over my carrier firmware on a carrier locked device? I'm not rooted if it makes any odds.
Reason I want to do this is that I'm with EE who take an age to release firmware updates and I'm struggling with the RAM management issue that the latest firmware seems to have fixed. Flashing the official unbranded firmware would obviously get me access to the updates in a more timely fashion.
I had a search around and i thinks the amswer is not but i got conflicting reports as to whether this is possible!
Thanks in advance.

We're you unrooted and carrier locked as well?

My phone was branded but not sure if it was locked. I didn't have root neither.
What I did:
1) Download latest Odin
2) Download any software
3) Extract it (for example with 7zip)
4) Copy system.img and boot img to new folder
5) Download script from this post
6) Put script files in the same folder
7) Run ImgToTar.MD5
8) Flash system.md5 and boot.md5 with Odin
You can also flash recovery and radio with this method.
Why not just download the unbranded firmware from sammobile, use Odin to flash it and be done?
What does the extracting of image files and so forth do?
Odin instructions can be found on the sammobile site where you pick up whatever firmware version you choose (my guess is unbranded UK firmware is a good place to start)

Unfortunately I couldn't get the flash to work. Just keep getting a fail about quarter of the way through, which then needed an emergency recovery using smart switch.
Must be due to the fact that the phone is carrier locked but there are plenty of conflicting reports online as to whether it's possible to flash a locked phone so who knows!

I followed those steps exactly, got succeeded for all the flashes, and I still have all the carrier bloatware. What happened?

The only system file in my tar.md5 in called system.img.ext4 is this the same thing or do I have a corrupt firmware?
I flashed over my carrier (O2) firmware with the unbranded firmware, but since i did that a while back (round about device launch), i've had to keep flashing any updates that come out rather than being able to get them OTA - is this normal behaviour?
It's normal behaviour if you didn't factory reset after unbranding your phone.
If you factory reset it you'll find that it re-registers with the unbranded CSC and you'll start to get ota updates properly.

Hey guys great thread I too want to give this a try but want to make sure I don't brick my s6 edge. I have a branded s6 edge from Japan softbank carrier model 404SC but it's actually SMG925Z. Can I use a unbranded SMG9250 firmware from Hong Kong on my Japan branded s6?

Flashing carrier firmware

Flashed stock rom
Hey, i just flashed the stock rom of the galaxy s6 (not edge) over my carrier rom. I was using a sim from a different carrier than the one from the rom and it worked fine, meaning my phone was unlocked. I decided to remove the bootanimation and bloatware from my device so I flashed the stock rom via odin. Everything went right except that my network operator is not available. Could you help me, its the only thread that I am sure i will get help.
search about kernal backup and restore. im not sure about it. but you may need to return to , or restore your first kernal. i think wifi stops working if ypu use an incorrext kernal. each model has its own kernal.
which means, i think ypu can use the samsung kies tool to return to stock rom and kernal to fix it... but im not sure.
there are other harder ways pethaps.. but i dont think anyone has our version of 6.1.1 kernal atm. i dont thibk samsung released it.
i really am not sure. i flashed a new 5.0 rom, but not 6.0.1 yet.
i dont know how

You can flash stock firmware for your model only but normally any region is okay. You could always just install the messaging app?
Have you tried firmware update with smart switch?

1-first you need to unlock your device bootloader , on the phone, go to Settings > About Device then scroll down to find Build number and tap it 7 times to enable Developer Mode
2-next go to Settings > Developer options then set OEM unlocking to on
Then try with Odin
Thanks
Can we get an updated version? Normally I'd download from sam site but 1.5gb download with free account at 15kbs is ridiculous. You'd think they would provide better bandwidth for their support site and not try to have you pay a subscription...

I use SamFirm (here is a direct link if needed), it downloads the firmware from Samsung's servers and decodes the file to a flashable format.
Use "SM-J700P" in the model box, and one of these three region codes in the "Region" box
VMU - Virgin Mobile
SPR - Sprint
BST - "Australia (Boost Mobile) (BST)" is what it says on updato.com (formerly sammobile.com)
XAS - I have looked in threads on XDA and found that this is the "unlocked" version, use at your own risk, probably has the least bloat.
Or if your phone is still functioning download this handy little app that will tell you everthing you need to enter to get an update for your current FW.
Make sure the checkbox beside "Auto" is checked and click "Check Update" now go to the right panel, click the checkbox for "Decrypt automatically" and click "Download"
There ya go, I tried to make it as simple as possible and to give you the details you need, because I'm dumb and miss out on the obvious sometimes, so I make sure no one has that issue.

IDK why you would be looking for an app to download firmware you'd have to flash via Odin, very strange...
The app I referred you to is an app that gives you the region code and ID with which you need to enter into SamFirm to download the latest package for your device manually, sorry if there was any confusion.

It's not misleading, the firmware can be flashed on either version and it is official firmware. Further no one has posted the full version (includes HOME_CSC and USERDATA) for download until now. What's your beef?

The ARF5 Isn't official, at least not yet. If you use apps like SamsungPay that rely on safety net, you're best off not to use that version, at least until or if it becomes official.

Also, in the OP you could help clarify what the other guy was talking about by stating that this firmware is US Xfinty which is a Verizon MVNO. I think thats what the other guy may have meant. When you look at the OP quickly you do get the impression that this may be for the unlocked U1. But eitherway... Thanks for posting it! Much better than trying to download from SamMobile!!!

The reason I say it *was* misleading is because the title made it seem like there was a U1 version of the 2ARF2 release. While I'm not in that boat, there are people looking to swap carriers, which requires flashing to the U1 to remove carrier settings, before then flashing to a new carrier.

Samsung Pay does usually work on the unoffial / pre-release releases. Samsung Pay only relies on Knox.

My bootloader says RP SWREV: B9(2,2,2,9,2) K9 S9
I tried to flash Android 10 G965U1UEU7DTA5 and Android 9 G965U1UES7CSK2. I downloaded them from sammobile. I entered my model number G-965U1 and since I have an unlocked phone that already had the CSC code XAA for USA I chose the list of XAA firmware. I tried the closest date to when I got the phone and one other. Sorry if I don't know exactly what I am talking about. Looking at the versions I downloaded they look to be for bootloader version 7 not 9 is that right?

Your are on bit ( bootloader ) ver 9 you are trying flash firmware with ver 7. You can not downgrade firmware. You need to find ver 9 or higher ( 5th number/letter from right of firmware file name ) to be able to flash.
You could try a pc app called frija to download latest version. You have to search here on xda as i can't post links at the monemt.

I have frija. I am downloading the version 9 firmware as we speak. I hope this gives me back the capability to use hotspot. Thank you for all your help. I will let you know how it goes once its downloaded.

I have a SM-G965U1 S9+ unlocked phone purchased from Samsung. I recently downloaded an OTA update. I lost the ability to use the hotspot feature. It has always worked in the past. I downloaded Odin and the last version of the firmware that had full capability to use the hotspot feature. I tried installing and it failed.
Is there a way for me to rollback the latest update?

Well I was able to flash the new firmware. However my hotspot still does not work. Is there anything else I can try? I have another phone same model and its hotspot works fine but that one did not get the most recent OTA update.

Sorry my mistake. I forgot about your hotspot issue. Frija download latest firmware only.
If your on G965u1eu9fue4 ( problaby updated to G965u1es9fug2 ) the early version before your update is G965u1es9fud1.
Try downloading this and see if it works. You should be able to flash anything with a bit 9 firmware ( 5th number from right of firmware name )
