I want to go back to Stock (SM-G928F) - Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello @all
i run into a few Problems with my S6 Edge+ (SM-G928F).
I use it for nearly one year now with Root and Skyhigh Kernel. It started to freeze a few times a day and is in unresponsive Deep Sleep very often.
Now i want to go back to full Stock ROM via Samsung SmartSwitch or Odin. Are there any know Problems with this Method?
When I tried it nearly one year ago, someone said when the Warranty Bit is Set to 1 than the phone will stop to go to deep sleep and drain my battery like insane.
And it was like he said. So i rooted it and want to go back to Stock. Can someone Help me with this to get back?
Thank you very much for your help!

Download stock ROM for your device and flash with Odin. You can also try some other custom ROM. I am using Dr. Ketan ROM and Khongloi kernel and everything work perfect with great battery life.

Root Me

Hello there,
So about 2 weeks back I ran an official kies update on my phone and ever sinc emy battery ahs been draining like crazy, I need to charge my phone like twice a day to be able to use it fully.
Ive been told I need to put a new ROM or somehting and that can fix it and make my phone better, but I really dont know to much about this stuff.
I tried to root my phone in february and i ended up f-ING it up and had to send it in for repairs.
If anyone would help me do what needs to be done to my phone possibly over skype or somehting? that would be great.
My phones version is: PDA:KC1 PHONE:KC1 CSC:KC1 (BMC)
I would first try giving your current rom a factory reset.
Let your battery completely drain, and give it a full charge while powered off.
I don't see that rooting would solve your dilema.
And by the way, go root yourself
go to -> Galaxy S I9000 Android Development
then search for a rom that you think you would like it, follow the install instruction and flash your phone !
Easy as Hell if you can read
i recommend you darkys rom 9.5 because its smooth , stable, fast and cares about battery !!

[Q] Getting back into Andriod Rooting, wanting to use a ROM

Hello XDA! I'm wanting to get back into using a rootted phone. In fact, I already have rooted my note 3.
I really want to get into a custom ROM, to remove some bloatware, and to be able to theme the system fully.
I previously had a samsung galaxy fascinate (telus) that I had rooted, and I had tried to get a custom ROM on it. Turns out though that I may had messed up! My phone was soft bricked. So I got a dongle made up for me, re-flashed froyo and got rollin again, However I was afraid to try to flash a custom rom. I used it for a year and a half on stock after that, and then decided to try to flash it again. I again had messed up the process, (I think Odin hates my PC). I ended up with a boot looped phone.
Now that I have my note 3, I'm loving it. However I don't want to have to deal with TouchWiz.
My question to you, xda. Is, what is currently involved in getting into a custom ROM on the note 3?
Is there a guide to getting started with this kind of stuff. My phone is rooted, but I have no custom recovery (I'm not sure how to do that).
I'm tempted to just wait for cyanogenmod for the note 3 as it seems to be very popular (and probably would have better support documentations). However If there is a reasonably simple alternative I can get a new rom soon.
Thanks a lot for reading this wall of text, and apologies if this gets asked frequently. I'm just terrified of losing my precious new phone
I'm using a SM-N900W8 from sasktel

here is a list of custom recoverys download your one for your phone and flash with odin http://galaxynote3root.com/clockworkmodtwrp-recoveries/
It's all quite a simple process really , just make sure you follow any guide precisely.
Is there another PC you are able to use if you think the culprit is your own PC ?
I'd also recommend the Note - X- Rom very nice Themes, Battery, Performance boost.
all the best with your flashing Remember to always Backup your EFS and do a Nandriod backup before anything ! :good:

S4 MK6 Help??

My S4 has MK6 (resulted from the 4.3 update OTA as I pulled it out of the box), rooted and TWRP installed.
Currently running Skyfall 4.4.2 ROM. Battery life seems HORRIBLE and the vibration is VERY week (with each ROM i've tried).
Also running the Zerolemon 7500mah Battery that doesn't seem to fully charge, but drains quickly.
The question is that if I take 4.4.2 from samsung mobile's site and load via Odin, will it lock up the phone from being rooted and
installing custom recovery again?
So far, I"m unhappy with the S4..... but it's my own fault for rooting and testing ROMs, I suppose..... but that's all I ever did with my
S3 with very positive results.
Suggestions and help guys???
Thanks

The sammobile may change your bootloader, if you stay on 4.3 your bootloader will stay MK6 which means you can use a 4.4.2 rom or 4.3 rom, if you update the bootloader to NC1 you will only be able to load 4.4.2 roms. You don't mention what baseband your on so I will assume it is MK6. You may see some battery improvement going to NC1 modem (flashed through odin PC ... twice.. you will see in the instructions) I am sure there are some near stock roms out there for 4.4.2 ... Mapleleaf is close to stock. As for battery life, it depends on what you have running on the phone. I can get 2 days on mine if I don't fool around too much. urrently 2 days 4 hours 37 minutes, screen on time 1 hour 23 minutes... 40% left... I turn off all data after 10pm and don't have gps running. You can check what is using the battery with wake lock detector, maybe you have a something that is not allowing the phone to go to deep sleep.
Thank you! Valuable info! Yes, baseband is MK6...... I'll try loading the 4.4.2 from sammboile and see what happens.........
Will post results.
Any suggestions on other ROMs for our Canadian S4? I like TW ... Can't stand the look of AOSP

Try Mapleleaf .. its 4.4.2 tw pretty much stock except the kernel I have been running it for over a month now, no reboots or issues.... probably want to update your baseband to NC1, won't affect your bootloader, just modem. It is important to follow the instructions with PC odin (take off auto reboot flag) and wait for it to finish. I flashed it twice as the instructions suggest doing so.

Want to go back from N900 CM12.1 to StockRom

Want to go back from N900 with CM12.1
Hello guys,
Iv'e been using the CyanogenMod12.1 on my Note3 N900 a whole year already and I regret every day for installing the Cm12.1
It's rooted of course with the CWM revovery.
I need your help guys, I just want to go back to the stock rom of Note 3 with Lolipop and I am failing to install the rom all over.
I am trying to flash the stock frimware via odin and it fails every dam time + my device goes soft brick which means that I need to install again the CWM recovery+ cm12.1 rom every time I fail.
I tried to look for some rooted stock roms for my n900 and I found nothing. My model is crap and not popular at all (cause its crap of a model).
Why I want to go back?
well, back then I didnt like the TouchWizz so much, I thought that it is to slow and to heavy for my system. so I wanted a clean android but I didnt like it.
It didnt fell good, every time I use my device I fell like my Note 3 got lost in a crappy OS or Rom. CM12.1 is boring and feels like death when I am traveling through the settings, drawers etc... + CM12.1 on note 3 has plenty of bugs, the battery sometime wont charge and dies fast, device getting hot toooooo fast and it killed me!!
on "TouchWizz" it felt more "alive" and more "colorful" for me. Maybe you will understand me or not, but the point is that I dont like CM12
Any help fellas?
The point is you need to find the proper TW ROM for your phone. I mean what country's model is that? Try to search for the same country's ROM on sammobile.com, and it should work via Odin. I don't have the Exynos model, so can't really say.
And about your opinion on CM, I can't agree more

Thanks for your reply. I purchased the phone with a Taiwan rom. So I need to download and flash the Taiwanian stock frimware?
And thanks for that you agree with me on CM.
anyone? up
Umm, again, can't be sure about Exynos models and their firmwares, but on Snapdragon you can flash almost any firmware as long as you have an unlocked N9005, so I am just guessing that N900 is also same. But if you find matching ROM then its preferable to download and flash that, unless its hovering at some very older based firmware.
So ur model is N900? I found alot of custom TW roms on exynox thread.
You want TW, you can try Darklord.
My country, Vietnam, using N900 alot. And they build plenty of roms for Note 3, ultra fast and stable.
You can go to samsungviet.com if im not wrong to search. If you cant, i can give you link to download.
The problem you have with CM12.1 is kernel. Try to find good kernel for your device.
Im using temasek cm12.1, and my device is N900W8 because i live in Canada. All i need is using other kernel for this rom. Everything work like a charm except battery life. Not as good as TW base rom. I think because of kernel too, but acceptable. Using CM cause TW not support multi dpi, i used to use 320-340, original 480 is too big for me.

Downgrade to MM from N for better battery life?

I am using exynos on N. Was getting ~6 hours SOT on MM, phone would last almost 2 days. After flashing nougat, only getting around 2-3 SOT and phone doesn't even last 1 day.
I am:
-not using any package disablers
-not using AOD
-I would say even usage of wifi/data
-all motion detection off, not very many apps doing background syncing (or so I think)
I have owned this phone for almost 1 year now, always fast charging everyday so my battery is probably very weak by now.
Should I:
1. Try flashing a custom debloated N ROM? (I've had people on here tell me they used ton of different N ROMs for months and they still went back to MM for longer battery life.)
2. Try flashing a custom debloated MM ROM?
3. Pay ~$70-80 to get a new battery?
For example I am considering flashing superman rom but not sure if I should flash mm or N.
I don't know how people are getting 8-9 hours SOT on nougat. If anyone could give advice that would be great.
Thank you.
Hi,
Since you're charging the phone everyday with fast charge and is using it for almost a year, then you have to keep in mind that the battery won't last as long as when you got the device.
You can however try to get around the aging of the phone by making use of less bloated ROMs and more battery efficient kernels, if you're not using Knox featured neither is using Samsung Pay, then since you're at the end of your warranty I highly recommend installing a custom ROM.
I do not think that the downgrade is a good solution, first because you won't be able to do it AFAIK, Samsung Knox prevents a system downgrade ever since the S4 IIRC. So unless you get a custom Marshmallow ROM that works for your current Nougat bootloader (which isn't impossible, I think most should run).
Personally in your situation I'd first try a clean stock install, if the problem persists I'd go for a Nougat ROM, because since you are installing a custom ROM, why not go for the latest and greatest instead of downgrading since you can get a good battery life on the Nougat ROM as well?
All the best,
~Lord

I'm as well having poorer battery life on Nougat than I had with MM, though 2-3 hours SOT seems to be too low.
On Nougat I get 5 hours SOT, while on MM 7 hours were the norm. Hopefully Sammy will release some update "soon" (lol, ok: somewhen...)
Anyway, what do you mean by downgrade not possible?
What happens when I flash a stock MM Rom through ODIN now, won't that work?
Downgrading to MM from Nougat works just fine by flashing official MM Rom via Odin.
I did it on my G935F because I'm using xposed which is not yet working in Nougat.
Hi,
Good to know that downgrade is still a possibility, I've read on another thread (don't remember where or when tho) that some users reported having Odin simply failing to flash a downgrade (IIRC was S6 MM downgrade to LP). Sorry for the misinformation .
All the best,

It's really up to the phone's owner to decide. One can only suggest but everyone has its own reasons to choose either N or MM.
One thing i noticed during the downgrade, it's asking for your Google password so be sure to know it. It may also cause your phone to freeze during boot up, the solution for this is to go to Recovery and wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache. So be sure to backup first your data by using TB or synchronisation thru your Google acct or Samsung acct.
Also because S7 snd S7e have no removable batteries, be sure you know how to go to Download or Recovery mode without first turning off the phone.

Ok thanks
If doing a downgrade I would strongly recommend a factory resets as you may encounter a problem anytime since there's no downgrade migration.
Though everyone can decide by his own you should keep in mind you won't get any further security updates for Marshmallow from Samsung. In such case it may be better to go for a custom Marshmallow ROM which is still maintained (if available).
The battery management on Nougat is definitely better than on Marshmallow. You may search for the reasons of your problems...
It's not difficult to change the battery. There are some good step by step online manuals on youtube.
