[CANADIAN] Odin 5.1.1 Bootloader & TWRP Flashable Modem - SM-G920W8 BOI6 *UPDATED*

[CANADIAN] Odin 5.1.1 Bootloader & TWRP Flashable Modem - SM-G920W8 BOI6 *UPDATED*
Rogers is the only carrier who pushed this update, it was pulled shortly after, due to corruption. I had to spend literally ALL day downloading this. I downloaded it 7 times before i got a OTA zip that passes a CRC check and extracted properly. What a pain in the butt it is i had to convert my Telus device to Rogers fully down to modding the EFS to get this done.
Prerequisit: You must be on a 5.1.1 compatible TWRP as well as a 5.1.1 rom when flashing these packages or your going to get stuck in a binary miss match. While there is a fix for this with out the W8 5.1.1 odin packages, it takes a lot of musical flashing. So be sure to be on a compatible 5.1.1 rom, Kernel and TWRP first.
As always, you flash at YOUR OWN RISK. I will of course try to provide support if I am online, If you appreciate how much the pain in my butt was, and you didn't have to do this your self. Click Donate.
The Bootloader MUST be flashed via ODIN 3.10.X or higher. in the BL slot. Hence why its a tar. Sorry no flashables, Samsung locks the boot loader areas to everything but their own signed recovery, from their own signed update.zip
BO8H BL
BOI1 BL
BOI6 BL *LATEST*
The modem is TWRP flashable

You can get ODIN 3.10.6 HERE
Samsung USB Drivers HERE
Fingerprint confirmed working by my self. on custom 5.1.1 roms and stock.

You must reboot to download mode, and ensure you have the samsung drivers installed. IF you have already done this. paste your odin log.
failing that
please try attached odin instead. If it works i will edit the OP link. .7 worked for me. But either or.

Yes i flashed it via BL. Whats your actual device.

Worked perfectly for me. So glad to have a working fingerprint scanner on a 5.1.1 custom rom. Thanks
Sent from my SM-G920W8

Easiest way to do it is just make sure the Bootloader is loaded on Odin first on your PC then reboot to recovery and flash the modem package, select reboot and choose Download so it reboots to download mode, plug the phone to usb and flash in Odin and you're done!

I'm now getting some new "not enforcing" red text during boot. Is that expected?

that's not for the edge... you could brick your device flashing a non-edge bootloader to an edge one.

This is why, odin is protecting you from your mistake. This is a G920W8 boot loader. It would brick your device if you convinced it to flash some how.
I do not have a G925W8 so i was un able to play musical CSC and FLash to get that OTA before rogers pulled it.
Just as a note guys, the fact that rogers pulled this update. expect all of the Canadian carrier updates to be delayed for weeks now.

holy fuk i shouldn't be doing drinking and flashing :silly: thank you though. appreciate your help...:good:

Thanks Mr. X....Confirmation number: 14Y69764AE724154S a little appreciation of your time. Can I re root and then flash this on my Bell device over 5.0.2? Or should I wait till I get the Bell`s 5.1.1. It has been awhile since I had a Sammy phone. I had a whale of time to get back to stock using Smart Switch and Odin always failed for me. Just want to be able to flash 5.1.1 roms with most stuff working. Thanks again!! My device is the SM-G920W8 Bell S6.

As this is a 5.1.1 boot loader it will require you to be on a 5.1.1 rom. good news is there are many roms to choose from that all work perfect due to my audio patches, and now this boot loader
I would flash TWRP on your 5.0.2 device as it sits, then i would choose your 5.1.1 rom of your liking. Put it all on your storage on the phone except the bootloader tar. Flash the rom, modem and what ever else in TWRP. then in the TWRP reboot options reboot directly to download/bootloader. and odin the bootloader. boot the device normally and you're good!
I do have the rogers ota update zip but i hesitate to distribute it since they pulled it due to bugs, and is uspect corruption ans i had to re-download it several times before it wasn't corrupt from their ota server.
PS: Thanks for the donation!
I am personally running this http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...xtrestolite-deodexed-mod-edition-1-3-t3119968, with the new boot loader and modem. it runs beautifully.
Any international rom with a kernel for our device and my audio patch will work. the rom i link packs it all up in a bow for you no extra work. finger print will also work since this boot loader

Perfect, I was on that rom for awhile with 5.0.2 and some stuff missing..So the best plan is
1. Re Root and Flash TWRP
2. Back up
3. Flash 5.1.1 Rom
4. Flash Bootloader with Odin
5. Flash Modem with TWRP
And then I should be good to go? Where does the Audio patch come in?
Any other suggestions or order to my plan?
Thanks again for your time and hard work!!!

[VIDEO GUIDE] How to root and install TWRP - Android 7.0- Galaxy S6 multiple variants

Hey everyone,
This guide should make it very easy for anyone to root and install a custom recovery (TWRP) on basically almost any S6 variant. You've got all the download links in the video description as well.
It works on all Android 7.0 stock versions, including the latest ones (with the most recent security patches).
Everything is very clearly explained, with step-by-step instructions in the video below. Just make sure you download the correct TWRP tar file for your S6 variant.
https://youtu.be/BV1ELmu8T0I
Enjoy!

Here is just the same but in really short (because that isn't so complicated) And here are also useful links to get latest drivers, stock firmware, ROOT, TWRP etc.

Install latest USB drivers, unpack lastest Odin3 and SamFirm. Use SamFirm to download latest firmware for your model, so put "SM-G920F" in "model" check "Auto" under that, put CSC code for your country in "Region", download it and then just flash it in Odin
Here you got full CSC codes list and also short guide how to use SamFirm

Thank you so much for responding, but unfortunately l it does not have my version which is the (SM-S906L/TFN) variant it works but straight talk but when I booted it up it said Tracfone so the region I put TFN and the model number (SM-S906L) and I can't find it. I have the firmware for my phone so as this is much not a problem. What is a problem is when I do flash the stock firmware in odin is that i run into sboot.fail and cm.bin fail, and the only way is to delete them from the .tar file and rezipping them into another .tar without the sboot/cm.bin, and NO matter what I flash either if is a successful rom flash in twrp or what I just said in odin I ALWAYS come back to a boot loop. I'm starting to think my phone is dead idk what to do.

I hate to ask, but i've been going over every post i can find in the forums, including this one, and i think i am scared to ask this but.......Does this not work for the G920V Verizon variant? i keep looking everywhere online but it seems like none of these methods work for that Variant, but no one has said that it wont work on that one specifically, was hoping maybe you can confirm or deny if it works on the Verizon variant? thank you in advance.

Answer on he's question is in thousends places on that forum, if he only would to like use "Search Option" here little bit above on right corner, and type there "ROOT S6 Verizon" or just "ROOT G920V" he will have answer for him question even confirmed not once!

---------------------------
Because I'm quite sure you're wrong. Just because there's a CF-Auto-Root image for the device for a particular build number, it doesn't mean it's gonna get past the locked bootloader. I got CF-Auto-Root from here https://desktop.firmware.mobi/device:841/firmware:2970 for my G920V 6.0.1 build CPK2. Tried to flash with Odin, and it failed right away. On the device, on the downloading screen, it says "Secure Download : Enabled", and once I try to flash, it says "SECURE CHECK FAIL: (RECOVERY)".
Also, the CF-Auto-Root README.txt clearly says: "Your device must have: - An unlocked bootloader, - OEM unlock enabled (if present) in developer options, - Factory reset protection (if present) disabled".

I was going to write a long post about all the things I tried on the Verizon phone that din't work, including mihaixp and rifek4's suggestions (things that worked fine on G920F), so I'll just say: "No, there is no root for Verizon phones", and leave you with this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s6/help/current-root-method-verizon-s6-t3647371

Plz Guyz Help!
I just installed twrp in my SM-G925l & directly boot into recovery , after that i did factory reset, advanced wipe(dalvik/ART cache, system, data, internal storage, cache) and than i was going copy the Rom Files via MTP but it says "can't copy files, the Device either disconnected or stopped responding" .
I don't have a external usb drive so can't try that.
Plz guyz, help. What to do now.

rifek4 said:
Yes... So true... For G920V with 6.0/7.0 I think isn't any avaiable way to ROOT. I never had Verizon and never looking for any post with informations about it, but from that what I know possible was S6 Verizon (G920V) ROOT but on Lollipop (5.1.1) ROM's only.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and yet here you just answered the simple question i asked in the first post you replied to, so thank you , but even though you say this, other posts seem to make me believe it is possible.
But just in case, here is what i have tried so far, maybe some other option i am not seeing in my searching has come up that you might know?
First i was trying to root via the method mentioned here....http://rootmygalaxy.net/root-samsung-galaxy-devices-using-cf-auto-root-odin-tool/
This method kept failing me however on the first box, not the green pass as is expected. I also in my searching found this thread about locked bootloaders... (crap my window crashed with the link and now i can't seem to find it, grr) anyways, there was talk of unlocking the bootloader to solve the problem....which lead me to this thread...https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s6/general/root-nougat-s6-verizon-t3710864
And i used that method, and everything went and worked as expected however i did not achieve the SuperSU that i expected to see int he app drawer in the end, so something didn;t work.
which lead me to this thread...https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...20vvrs4dqd1-odin-nougat-7-0-firmware-t3597007 to get myself the firmware needed for this method here...https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-auto-root-t3056630/post73993971#post73993971 and this post ...https://androidmtk.com/root-samsung-galaxy-s6-sm-g920v which was again just the CF Auto Root that failed the first time around.
So i feel like a giant game of round robin here.
I really don't want to drop to a lower version of Android to root the unit (and i also feel it really wouldn't matter what version at this point) but if that is my only option i might just try it, but so i kindly ask again, after clearly using the search function on the forum to look for methods, has anyone had luck with the Verizon variant S6 920V on Nougat getting root to stick and if so, can you please point me to the method you used on the forums, because all the methods i keep finding circle back to the CF Auto method that keeps failing time and time again. Thank you in advance.

So will this be triggering KNOX or not?

Could anyone please tell me whether Knox will be triggered or not

Hello, I tried this method, everything was OK, i got pass in ODIN app, then tried to reboot and now nothing is happening, i think device is bricked, but I made everything as you have described in video. Now when I try to hold volume UP + home + lock buttons, galaxy s6 logo pops up, the side buttons just flash and nothing happens. Could you please, help me?

Are you on the QI5 bootloader? If you are, that's most likely the problem.
And are you trying to downgrade? If you are and you're on the QI5 bootloader, it won't work cos the QI5 bootloader is locked.

Can't turn on my phone, can't open twrp, Odin fail Galaxy s8

Hello everyone,
I'm following this forum for mounths but just had chance to register.
I tried to root my phone, then I think something went wrong. Turned on the phone and used for a while, but had a fingerprint sensor error. After that I reboot the phone, but while showing the Samsung logo, I got "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed" top of the screen. And phone was automaticly turning off after that.
Then I put the phone download mode and tried to install official firmware. Odin was failed.
I tried to flash bootloader only, and fail neither.

I thought maybe the stock rom that I trying to install is older. But now I can't open the TWRP with the buttons for the wipe data. The Samsung Galaxy logo views, after that it turns off.
Trying to install twrp again, Odin gives me fail too. Now I can only open the download mode.
I need my phone today urgently for contact with my colleagues.
Please ask me for the missing informations and please help me ASAP.. Sorry for my bad and complicated English..

Try to flash an earlier Version of the bootloader maybe QF7.
I found the flashable odin archive at https://mega.nz/#!5Q4TATzQ!DT2OQO01KHfw7HsVNElZSfZ4DHoO9W99k3dJqfumMhg for s8 and at https://mega.nz/#!dMZ0zbDL!oYrcBh8DeOqMFeO9QObu8eNXVrjsajXICJ0o3MJPJ-o for s8+.
I also find a video for this issue at https://youtu.be/VTi3uBkpJic

Thank you for helping but I tried these solutions allready. Now downloading another country's official rom from sammobile. I'm going to try this one but I have no hope

Good luck!!??

My solution did work. Download the latest firmware and install it with Odin. Thanks everyone anyway..

[SM-G950F] Android Pie (9) downgrade to Oreo 8

Hey'll,
I'm sitting down here, trying to figure out how to downgrade my SM-G950F (Galaxy S8).
Well, acutally I tried all Firmwares (8.0) from SamMobile for Germany.
I'm always getting an Error on my downloader "SW REV. CHECK FAIL (BOOTLOADER) DEVICE 5 BINARY 4" or when I try only "AP" I get this failor : "kernel rev. check fail device 4 binary 3".
USB-Debugging is ON.
I tried it with OEM Unlocking aswell.
I'm using the original cable with it.
Tried other ports.

You are try to downgrade firmware which you can't do.
You can only flash bootloader version 5 or higher ( 5th number from right of the firmware )

No. ( There maybe a custom rom that's Oreo favoured )
There are a few websites to down load firmware like Sammobil or updato. ( can be slow download though )
If you want the latest version of firmware you can use PC app call samfirm or frija.

friend same problem here, I'm wanting to install custom recovery, already everything is active oem and everything but is saying the issue of birary 5, I'm using android pie last version of November. I was told the question of 168hrs and such to be able to do the custom and I'm squeezing complete this time.
if anyone knows how to do it faster I'm waiting

Waiting
Someone here on xda developed a new program to find and download the correct Samsung firmware called 'FRIJA'. which is the successor to Samfirm.
