[How-To]Install Vodafone-Branded Marshmallow firmware to your G920F ONLY!!! - Galaxy S6 General

Hi to everyone!!!
I saw that many of you are having issues about the installation of the Vodafone-branded OS. If you want to install it very easily and fast, just follow this guide! You can follow this guide to install any branded OS to your G920F ONLY
WARNING: This procedure will delete all of data, however it wont trip KNOX
1. Download the Vodafone branded OS (here mirror not mine)
2. Download this pit file if your phone is the G920F ONLY
3. Open Odin and put the pit that we downloaded in the pit section and the firmware in the AP selection.
4. Start flashing
5. Voila. It is recommended to wipe the data and cache after flashing the OS to ensure the best performance out of it.
That's it. This pit file is made from @yakapa40 and make sure you press the "Thanks" button to him too.
Don't forget to press the "Thanks" button to me to for letting you know about this trick. I have tested and it works like charm!!!
No extra help will be given from me

Thanks for this PIT file, and if we want to go back to the original pit file do you know where we can find it ?

My version goes like this
1. Unpack G920FXXU3DPB8+Service+firmware.zip (Link)
2. Put the files where they say they should go (AP = AP / BL = BL ect)
3. Press Start
4. Done
This wipes you're storage so backup beforehand!
EDIT: Not sure if this trips KNOX, it shouldn't as its official firmware, but I cannot tell you as I already had KNOX tripped from the beta

You're right, this wipes all of your data.
But it wont void the KNOX counter

It is not harmful to the SIM(Slovenia). It is operating normally. The only restart 10 minutes.
Work normally. I updated by the method as described above. Data is not deleted if you do not want. Root disappears.

Guys, how about Voice Quality?
We have new modem...

Guys one question i used this pit to flash from BTU to ORO firmware , then i did factory reset and flashed Xef without this pit and again did factory reset so i got csc from xef active...After doing ota 6.0.1 i again did factory reset so now everything is clean i dont have root or knox 0x1...My question is do i have to flash some kind of original pit from 6.0.1 xef or i am good to go like this ?? Thx

I downloaded the PIT And FW and followed the OP's instructions, worked perfectly. My question is, With tha new security update a while ago, where you can't downgrade your Android OS version. Now that I am on the 6.0.1 from the OPs post, am I able to revert back to my original PIT and Android 5.1.1?
If so, how do I know what PIT is my original one, and to reflash it do I need to follow the OPs instructions, only changing the PIT used and FW used? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Forgot to say, I am on the Meteor Network, in Ireland.

Thank you! Running 6.0.1...Couldn't wait any longer! I'm on 3UK

Hello everyone, sorry once again to bother you all, but does anyone have any help on this matter?

Re-root the exact same way you did the first time - remember to use Kitkat compatible CF-Autoroot though.

i want to flash ksa 4.4 rom released 10 days ago but i am afraid of soft bricking my phone again sorry am not pro can someone help please

I just reflash the firmware and it is there.
But u can just flash csc shld be no problem.
If u want to upgrade to latest firmware just get it from samfirmware.com nd flash through odin pc.

you can just try to reflash the firmware again.
Note 3 is still confusing me in a way. Certain way is working for some ppl, but not to others.
you have to bear in mind, flashing stock official rom from odin, won't brick your phone.
If possible, once ROM is completed (flashing is done), try to go into recovery (stock recovery which come with the official firmware), and do a full wipe/factory reset and wipe cache.
This full wipe seems to be the best way to avoid any error/problem.
So can you post your download mode snapshot to verify both applied CSC and knox warranty
for my seek
I've been told that flashing another Region firmware or changing CSC Could Trigger Knox Warranty please verify That By screenshot mention your old ROM Build Number Thank you

Impossible to get out of BOOTLOOP: soft-bricked

Hi community!
First time posting.
So, my SM-G900I (shipped from Taiwan to Aus) recently started bootlooping so i decided to reflash a stock rom. I initially flashed an XSU version of the G900I stock and then a BRI version of stock. This didnt remove the bootloop. I then installed TWRP and cleared all the necessary caches, formatted data and everything else. still in bootloop.
I installed CM13 in TWRP install menu and it still didnt boot. I've also tried pulling the battery for extended periods of time. I dabbled in terminal commands but it was all a bit above me!
is there anything else i can do or is the phone dead? it can still enter download mode and TWRP. is this a battery problem? in TWRP the battery says it's 80% charged so it seems to hold charge.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers.
Did you try flashing the stock rom and PIT file with ODIN?

I did. 16GB G900I pit file was flashed alongside BL, AP, CP, and CSC files (got directly from Kies).
I am able to install a custom recovery and access those menus but i can't get in to the stock recovery menu.

Thanks for the quick response but there are none there for G900I models. Just a question, how do these differ from manually putting in pit, AP, BL, CP and CSC seperately?

Download update to samfirmwar it is 1 package file home tar md5 put on PDA and flash make sure download correct firmware of your country region
best way : download samsung kies, go to download mode on your phone, connect it to pc, open samsung kies, go to tools->firmware update settings, this will update your phone to latest firmware fixing any software related problem. after that you can root and flash any custom rom.

My Sprint phone was rooted and then one day got stuck in a boot loop, but I hate the Sprint bloatware so I downloaded the T-Mobile stock rom and odined it. I left out the home_csc file because I didn't know where to put it and it seems to be working just great.

S7Edge G9350 Qualcomm English HK Rom ROOTED TWRP 100% working *Updated to APH2

This is my first ever attempt at this so I cannot guarantee this will not damage your phone or destroy the housing market.
I bought this phone on a trip in China expecting to have a plentiful selection of roms on my return to Canada, only to be met with zero roms, and the only information on Chinese forums.
Having been inspired by the Aurora Rom, I decided to try and build something more compatible with North America
This is based off the latest Hong Kong (INT) firmware G9350ZHS2APH2
So far I have not learned how to properly build a standalone rom (flashable zip) so here is a 100% working guide for now. I will post the zip once I have figured that out
This was only tested on a Chinese G9350 Qualcomm S7Edge. Please don't attempt on any other model
Backup your phone!
Make sure your bootloader is unlocked!
Install Samsung USB Drivers
If you already have TWRP, and are having problems mounting data, boot into recovery and Format Data. If you want TWRP first, flash the TAR G9350.TWRP.3.0-321.tar
Boot into download mode
Launch the modified Odin
Load all the corresponding files. (BL, CP, CSC, and the AP file) Only the AP is required, the rest is optional.
Click the bottom left button to start the flashing process.
Reboot back into download mode
Flash the AP TAR (G9350.TWRP.SuperSU.tar) This will flash TWRP, then boot into recovery and flash root
You should now have a rooted, International speedy rom with working recovery
There is no extra bloatware in this rom, however I recommend using TiBu or Package disabler to remove the TouchWiz bloat.
Samsung USB Drivers
Modified Odin
TWRP & SuperSU Root
Data Encryption disabler - Updated 2.1
Odin AP/PDA Firmware file
Odin BL
Odin CP
Odin CSC
Thank you to all the devs on the Chinese forums http://bbs.gfan.com/forum-1663-1.html, and to Android File Host for hosting my files.
Any comments or suggestions are welcome!
Awesome!
Is this going to work on the Hong Kong version s7 edge?

Load all the corresponding files. (BL, CP, CSC, and the AP file G9350ZHU2APG2.mlkemac.tar) Only the AP is required, the rest is optional
Click the bottom left button to start the flashing process.
Reboot back into download mode
Flash the AP TAR (G9350.TWRP.SuperSU.2.71.tar) This will boot into recovery and flash root
You should now have a rooted, International speedy rom with working recovery
There is no extra bloatware in this rom, however I recommend using TiBu or Package disabler to remove the TouchWiz bloat.

Yes. the hardware in the CHC (Mainland China) and TGY (Hong Kong) are identical. so it will work with no issues

Thank you so much for that, this is great, I've been looking for this for quite a while.
Before I try it out, can you confirm :
1) Is this a full ROM and/or will this wipe my phone user data?
2) If it is a full ROM, will I still receive OTA updates and will I need to re-root afterwards?
3) How to I check my bootloader is unlocked?
4) Any benefit to flash the BL, CP, CSC files in Odin?
Thanks a lot for you input,
Regards,
Benjamin
thank you

This is my first ever attempt at this so I cannot guarantee this will not damage your phone or destroy the housing market.
I bought this phone on a trip in China expecting to have a plentiful selection of roms on my return to Canada, only to be met with zero roms, and the only information on Chinese forums.
Having been inspired by the Aurora Rom, I decided to try and build something more compatible with North America
This is based off the latest Hong Kong (INT) firmware G9350ZHU2APG2
So far I have not learned how to properly build a standalone rom (flashable zip) so here is a 100% working guide for now. I will post the zip once I have figured that out
This was only tested on a Chinese G9350 Qualcomm S7Edge. Please don't attempt on any other model
Backup your phone!
Make sure your bootloader is unlocked!
If you already have TWRP, and are having problems mounting data, boot into recovery and Format Data. If you want TWRP first, flash the TAR G9350.TWRP.3.0-321.tar

@mlkemac Thanks! Finally some development
Does anyone who's flashed know if there are camera issues with this ROM? Other ROMs have problems with the cameras just showing red.
Also I assume that knox is tripped on this ROM?
I have the same question with the upstairs.anybody can answer?
