So guys..... Thanks to this stupid beta my phone lost IMEI (No signal). I've tried everything to fix it... Today I'v sent my phone to service center and they will change my motherboard... It will cost 340 euros... Be smarter than me and wait for official update...

please i tried to install android 6.0 and now my phone is stuck at the bootloop how ican fix it? if anyone know please just tell me
2 options. Flash back 5.1.1 bootloader. Wipe system only then reflash 6.0 then wipe cache/dalvik then reboot to download and flash 6.0 bootloader and then reboot.
Or
Just odin flash 5.1.1 bootloader, make sure you have efs backed up (or you may brick) restore 6.0.1 from this backup over the 6.0 then wipe cache and dalvik, reboot to download mode flash bootloader from this (sboot) via odin and boot. If you loose network etc just restore efs from backup you made. You cant use someone elses so keep yours safe. Backup to computer for double safety.

Make sure you have extracted 6.0.1 files into twrp backup folder
Odin Reflash 5.1.1 bootloader and twrp recovery 2.8.0. Boot into recovery, backup efs. Wipe system, dalvik, cache and data (not internal data).
Restore 6.0.1 from backup. Wipe dalvik. Flash su if needed. Wipe dalvik and cache.
Reboot to download mode. Flash 6.0.1 bootloader (sboot) with odin. Reboot. Wait 10 mims result.

Xposed don't work with this rom :/
Working fine for me. Flashed 5.1.1 bootloader and twrp 2.8.0
Booted to recovery and flashed xposed-v79.1-sdk23-arm64-custom-build-by-wanam-20160119.zip for tw roms. Cleared cache and dalvik, rebooted into download mode and flashed 6.0.1 bootloader (sboot).

Booted up. Installed xposed installer. All perfect.

What about the 6 Edge G925I - What about the I...?

Ok i noticed not many has the latest MM beta, so there you are:

NOTE: im not responsible for any damage to your phone, by proceeding knox will be tripped

Requirements:

1.- No matter what firmware you have installed, but i would recommend to start from 6.0
2.- Install TWRP
  • 5.1.1
    - Into download mode flash TWRP (AP) via Odin (UNMARK auto-reboot)
    - Reboot into recovery and do a backup, very important
    - Reboot into download mode again flash this kernel (AP) via Odin
    - Reboot your phone
  • 6.0
    - Into download mode flash this old_bl (BL) via Odin (UNMARK auto-reboot)
    - Reboot into download mode again flash TWRP (AP) via Odin (UNMARK auto-reboot)
    - Reboot into recovery and do a backup, very important
    - Once more into download mode flash this bootloader (BL)
    - Reboot your phone
3.- Copy 6.0.1 into /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/XXXXXXXXXXXXX/ XXXXXXXX should be numbers and letters each phone is different, inside you should see your previews backup
4.- Reboot into recovery
only for 6.0
- Into download mode flash this old_bl (BL) via Odin (UNMARK auto-reboot)
- Now reboot into recovery
5.- Go to restore and apply the 6.0.1 backup
6.- Wipe cache and dalvik then install this superSU
7.- Reboot into download mode and flash this sboot (BL)
8.- Enjoy 6.0.1 rooted

NOTE if you have no network just rollback your EFS from your own backup to enter into TWRP you need to flash the old_bl each time and then flash back the sboot to allow the phone boot up (this due to TWRP incompatibility with the MM BL)

Give the phone some time from the first boot
Can Someone tell me if there is a ROM for the G925I. We tried the 'F' - didnt work.

How can I return to have twrp working?
I'm on 6.0.1 MM ROM and all work very good.. but how can I restore the TWRP on 6.0?
Thanks and Regards

With odin flash 5.1.1 bootloader you wont loose 6.0.1 rom its just the bootloader and twrp recovery. Then when done with twrp and flashed whatever like xposed, wipe cache/dalvik then goto reboot to download mode and with odin flash sboot from 6.0.1

efs backup

boys, before performing the procedure in the first page, use this program (EFS_GS6_Backup_Restore_v1.0) is you do bakup your EFS. When you finish all the steps and you are on 6.0.1, reset the efs with EFS_GS6_Backup_Restore_v1.0. in this way the data part is working back.

My personal full wipe instructions.
Follow at own risk, what works for me doesnt mean it will for you.

If your base is 5.1.1.
Reboot into download mode (power off phone, hold volume down, home and power until device shows blue screen, press up.)
Connect to computer running latest samsung usb drivers.
Open odin and select latest AP and select twrp file found on page one.
Reboot phone recovery (power off, hold volume up, home button and power button until screen lights up, release hold hold again until twrp logo and release)
Goto backup and select all check boxes!! MAKE SURE EFS/MODEM ARE SELECTED.
swipe and backup.
Reboot phone and connect to computer in disk mode. Make a copy of twrp backup folder on your pc.
Goto
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...t/g925f-android-marshmallow-6-0-beta-t3293964

And download the rom file and the deodexed patch. Copy to internalstorage "roms"(make yourself) directory.
And from this thred download the 6.0.1 and extract/copy to internalstorage/twrp/backups/devicenumber/6.0.1

Download sboot and supersu and copy to internal storage "roms" (make yourself)

Reboot to twrp.
Make another backup to be sure.
Install zip and navigate to roms and install 6.0 beta downloaded from other thred. Then install patch zip.
Then clear cache and dalvik.
Goto main twrp menu, select reboot then reboot to download mode.
In odin select BL and select
BOOTLOADER_G925FXXU3ZOL6-M(6.0).tar
From other forum. Flash and allow to reboot. (Will take 10 mins).

Once booted. Power off and boot into download mode.
Open odin and select BL and then the 5.1.1 bootloader.
Select AP and twrp
Flash.
Reboot into twrp. Goto wipe and select only system and data. Then wipe.
Goto restore and restore 6.0.1 backup. When done wipe dalvik and cache but dont reboot.

Now flash super su. And xposed (79.1 sdk 23 adm64) if you wish. Wipe dalvik and cache again.

Goto main twrp menu and reboot to download mode.

Open odin and select BL and flash sboot.

Reboot and hope.

Most steps are overboard but i found this to work with no hiccups. 6.0 probably isnt needed but doesnt hurt.

hmmm i told many times that the FILE 6.0.1 has been updated with no EFS backup inside so now there is no more risk, even so, TWRP has the option to backup your EFS partition
