TWRP Released for S6

http://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxys6.html
I'm guessing this is only for international variants? Is that correct?

Yup, looks like it's for the international model of the phone. At least we're getting something lol. Have you looked at the htc one m9 forums? They have so many roms and kernels already. Type jealous hahaha

Should work on all S6 if I'm not mistaken since it's the same hardware.
**edit: flashed it via Flashify and was able to get into it without any issues on my Canadian S6!

That's because they already had the M9 software over a month ago lol. The rom makers basically already had roms ready before the release date.

I wonder why there is no device tree.

Is it only for S6 or S6 Edge also?

Flashed via flashify on the sprint variant. Took forever to boot into twrp, then when it finally did, touchscreen wouldn't respond so i couldn't do anything.
Everytime i reboot it keeps rebooting into twrp. So i guess im stuck until sprint twrp.img or sprint firmware is released. I can still get into DL mode so whatev.

Sprint S7 EDGE Stock Firmware

Dose anyone know where I can get my hands on Sprint s7 Edge, stock firmware I can use to flash my s7 edge. There is something going on when I try and factory reset it. It won't wipe and says something at bottom left in red writing. I have been looking everywhere but can't seem to find it.
Thanks so much.

If I use stock firmware,this firmware. Will that lock the SIM card for me,or unlock it? Because I had custom firmware with unlocked SIM,and flashed with original and my SIM is locked. I would glad if you can help in any way.

I believe that once you go with PJ2 there's no going back. Until the PJ2 tar is available for download you'll need to go to your service provider for them to flash it.

Changing carrier ROMs US variant S7 edge

Have a question here, we get a lot of US imported phones here in Pakistan, mostly AT&T and Verizon S7 edge phones.
They've got carrier bloat and whatnot, I remember reading people flashing Verizon ROMs to get that to work properly on their AT&T phone and flashing AT&T on a T-Mobile phone to get that to work properly, so if one flashes a G935U firmware on a G935V, is it expected to work fine and act as an ordinary Snapdragon 820 S7 edge with no carrier bloat or anything?
All replies will be appreciated.
Thanks

I tried flashing G930U on my G930V through odin but it failed. It appears that I can't flash anything using odin. The only way by which I was able to install a firmware manually was through stock recovery by Applying update from sd card.

I have, but there have been reports of it not working for some people as well, so I wanted to know if it's a legit method or if it's trial and error and it works for some and it doesn't work for others, because if it does work officially, then it'd solve a huge headache on choosing US variant phones here and we can all relax since the 935U firmware can be flashed on carrier branded phones.
Now, I need to get my hands on an American S7 edge to test this out myself.

Off course without testing nothing can be confirmed ... But most people r too faint hearted to try it

Try Odin 3.12.3 and the latest Nougat firmware for the G930U with the XAA (unlocked) CSC.

Btw which files (AP, BL, CSC etc) I need to flash through odin? As I have noted that flashing CSC renders non-verizon sim unusable.

All of them. AP includes the system, recovery and cache, CP includes modem, BL includes bootloader, and CSC includes sales code.
The ROMs for S7 usually come with CSC and HOME_CSC, the latter will not wipe your device and keep the Verizon CSC which may cause issues and require you to factory reset your phone, the normal CSC files wipes the data and switches your CSC to the new one you're trying to flash.
Choose whichever one you want but I'd suggest the normal CSC just to be safe.

The main issue with me was poor battery life which was resolved when I reverted back to marshmallow. But I have yet to test the battery life on nougat. Other than this, phone is running smoothly and it feels light now due to no bloatware.

id like to know can i flash the 930u on a metropcs 930t1

Have been trying all day to load 935u on my sprint phone and it loads but it just boots into the same sprint firmware, anyway for me to change this?
Just tried to redo this, so maybe i was mistaken that it loaded....FAILS at installing boot.

You probably can, try it out, worst case scenario it fails and you'll just boot back into your normal MetroPCS firmware.

Hi how are you.
Can you please let me know which country did you use while downloding the U firmware ? I have a t-mobile s7 edge

S7 edge brick while flashing oreo with ODIN

I downloaded from sammobile the files that i needed for the device, the model G935F.
I tried flashing it with odin (latest version). It failed at recovery.img (after flashing it and boot.img).
The phone doesn't reboot to the system. It only shows error mode and to use the smart switch emergency, but it says that the device is not supported.
Any help? Thank you

Which country you bought it from ? Was your phone network locked ? Use odin 3.13.1, also tell which firmware you flashed ..

Its asking for the previous account that was logged on before it bricked. If you are the owner put your account details and if its someone else like your customer or friend, ask them for the details of previously logged in account.. that frp lock is there for security and xda won't allow to discuss solution here. You should search yourself now for a solution .. Good Luck !
