Is the stock firmware for our Tmo S6 anywhere? I looked on sammobile and can't even find the phone... wanting to root but want to make sure I have the stock just in case my S6 decides to turn into an iphone..

I installed the EURO firmware on my Rogers Galaxy Tab (Canada). I will return it, because I just got one as a gift. Will they find out I have the EURO firmware? If they find out, I will be in a lot of trouble... Is there any way to restore it to the original GSM fimware???
Should be in Q&A......
Hey, I tried to root my phone but it failed. It still works, but, I cannot get carrier updates now. I was wondering how would I go about getting a Fido stock firmware for my phone.
Or stock ROM I believe. I am hoping I will not need to pay money for a new phone to get things back to normal.
Hey guys,
Looking for a bit of help with unrooting my S4 Active and pretty much reverting it back to out of the box if it is possible.
I got my Active rooted about a year ago. I did it without much knowledge on how rooting and install custom firmware works, but amazingly I somehow got it done. But now I've have got to the point where I no longer need it rooted or running custom firmware and would like to return it to an out of the box state like when I first bought it.
Here is a bit of information about my device:
Model: GT-I9295
Version: 4.2.2
BB: XXAMF7
I'm not really sure on how I rooted it in the first place as it has been a while, but I do remember using ODIN and possible CWM, if that makes any difference. I'm looking to revert it back to 4.2.2 official so I can use the OTA update feature to keep my phone up to date and so on.
If anyone is able to help me, or point me in the direction of a good tutorial on unrooting and installing official firmware that would be great.
Thanks

Hi
One of the safiest way to unroot you device is to back up your phone then flash a stock firmware 4.2.2 or 4.4.2 available on sammobile.com and flash it with odin. You will automatically go back to stock firmware and it will be same as it was out of the box.

Thank you for the help.
I managed to find a stock 4.2.2 firmware on sammobile.com for my phone and country, but it seems like samsung haven't pushed out a 4.4.2 version for Australia yet.
There is a 4.4.2 version for New Zealand though, which is basically just next door to Australia. So I found that quite odd.
Do you know if there is anyway to flash an official 4.4.2 firmware to an Australian device?
Thanks again.

The country on the firmware doesn't mind because even you choose let say netherland versions it will work find as example for me I flashed singapire version on my s4 active while I'm in Mauritius and it work fine... you may choose any of it to install

It doesn't matter which country firmware do you get. The country is there only for OTA updates. So if you flash a Netherlands stock ROM then you will get the next OTA update when Netherlands gets it. Otherwise other country.
Just flash the stock ROM with odin on your phone and it will be unrooted, removed the custom recovery and all back to stock.
Good day to you.
Hi, I'm coming to you guys with another question. Being that we cannot downgrade the S6 edge from 5.1.1 would it be possible to flash the International variant firmware onto G925A? I'm trying to possibly get root and and flash a new rom but it's not looking likely anytime soon.
no no no
I've just purchased a new S6 with the same model number as the T-Mobile version but it's unlocked and unbranded. Does anyone else have this phone and when do you think it may get marshmallow?
www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-galaxy-s6-4g-with-32gb-memory-cell-phone-unlocked-black/4667100.p?id=1219794340074&skuId=4667100
You will get the update anyday now. It would be awsome if you could get a system dump for that firmware youre running. we could reallydo some development witg that and be able to get marshmallow along with you.
I have the same phone, also purchased unlocked though Best Buy. Will we be getting a separate software update from T-Mobile? Once released, how can I get that system dump? I can see how it would be usefull for development. Haven't rooted because I don't want to trip knox and loose warranty. Impatiently waiting on the update. Didn't know if I had to wait for the T-Mobile update to roll out first.
To my knowledge our phone is just a different CSC under the G920T variant... For G920F, which is the international version, mostly European, different CSCs mean different regions and/or carriers. Likewise, for G920T, there are two CSCs: TMO (which is T-Mobile) and XAR (which is our bloatware-free version). That said, if the TMO firmware comes out first, we'll be able to flash it manually with Odin but we'll not receive OTA. The downside is that we'll have to bear with the bloatware until we flash back to the XAR Marshmallow after it's released. As for Knox, as long as we're flashing official stock firmwares from Samsung Knox won't be tripped.
