6.0.1 firmware for Odin is here, build G920FXXU3DPB8

[TheDynamo]

O2 UK here 920F - Can confirm it worked. When first installing G920FXXU3DPB8_G920FVFG3DPB8_G920FXXU3DPB8_HOME.tar.md5 it failed when installing hidden file near the end. So followed newbie guide :

2. Open it up in WinRAR or 7zip, and drag the hidden.img file out onto your desktop.
3. Rename this file hidden.img.tar

and installed that after fail and it worked !

Thanks folks

I have a issue, can someone help?

Issue is: Odin gets stuck at "SetupConnection". I am in Windows10 64bit

I have tried:
All drivers possible
All USB ports possible on my PC
Starting in download mode before, after plugging in to ODIN

NOTHING HELPED!

If I remember well Odin has problems with windows 10

Everything works well, only flash with odin, and work very well with windows 10 64bit, no errors..and don't lose any data, just flash SM-G920F G920FXXU3DPAD/XEF France.
I confirm.

Hi guys when I flash XEF can I then move to BTU version and keep all data?

You don't lose any data. If you flash over 5.1.1, you don't lose nothing, I confirm.

Even from xtrestolite?

Can i install a different firmware ? I have G920F from Orange Romania, didnt get the 6.01 update and i think it will take around 1 month before i get it.
So can i install a firmware from another country? Does it have to be Orange?
Thanks!

Yes, install XEF France over your 5.0.1, no full wipe, you dont lose your CSC country, just install with odin

Odin keeps failing

I have tried to flash this around 5 times now and even after following the noob guide for flashing it (changing the name to hidden.img.tar and then rebooting back into download mode after the first fail on Odin), Odin continues to fail to flash it. How can I fix this??

 

[vandal4e]

How much free space do you get after clean flash and factory reset, because sammobile states for 8gb size of marshmallow on S7 and only about 15gb avaivable to the user on a 32gb phone.

If the phone is the SM-G920F, just install the 6.0.1 XEF France from SamMobile over 5.1.1, and everything works, not invent, where the problem is, I can not understand the difficulty.
