[Q]Any ROMs compatible with flashfire and don't trip knox?

Hey guys. Been out of the S6 ROM game recently and missed the whole Flashfire thing. I am rooted, but have not installed any custom recoveries or anything like that. I've been spending the last couple days reading and trying to find any TMO ROMs that are flashable on Flashfire without tripping knox.
Are any of the ROMs for TMO compatible with Flashfire and won't trip knox? What is the process behind flashing one of those?

Remove the boot.img from the zip and from the installer script to be safe. If you do that you won't trip knox. Be safe and stick to roms in the tmobile section for now.

what part of the script do we have to remove? where is it?

Look at some installer script tutorials and you will be able to get it done. I don't feel like explaining what needs to be done, plus you'll have more knowledge on the things you flash!

I downloaded looper. Still hesitant to event try and flash

I have xtrestolite downloaded and I am also hesitant to flash. I am in no hurry to flash a custom rom. I just want to know what is out there and the process behind flashing the ROMs so I am prepared when I want to flash.

I was just looking over that thread to see if 1) flashing it would trip knox, and 2) if anybody had tried flashing it with flashfire.
I want somebody else to take the plunge before I do

Hello,
do you have any reference links to learn more about the installer scripts and how to know if the rom I want to install will trip Knox or not?
Thanks.

Is there an easy way to unroot?

I'm using chroma ROM and my satellite provider requires it's app to run on an unrooted phone. I'd there an easy way to unroot my Nexus without having to wipe?

Flash the system image from a factory image. If your kernel is modified, flash the boot IMG as well.

Use wugs toolkit.

So just to get this straight and I don't screw up my phone. I find the stock rom same version as my chroma which is LMY48B. I extract it and using fastboot I install system.img and boot.img? My phone is unencrypted right now... Will it get encrypted?
And when I need root again I must just install it along with Franco Kernel I'm using?
I appreciate the help...

I installed it on my laptop but even though my phone is rooted I don't see an option to unroot... Maybe because I didn't use regular rom and used chroma instead?

First, why are you trying to unroot?
You would download a factory image form the Google developer page. Extract twice, and grab the system image from there. Yes, match the version your phone is currently on.

Have you considered multi ROM? You could have your rooted normal set up and a non rooted as well.

Can't you just go into supersu settings and unroot? That way you can stay on chroma

Depends on how deeply his situation is looking for root files. The unroot feature of SuperSU doesn't remove everything.

How about the encryption? Chroma is unencrypted. If the second rom is encrypted what happens there?
I'm also trying to find a stock rom that is not pre-rooted to install from recovery. Can you show me the latest I can get?

My friend I installed multirom and used an older Chroma rom that wasn't pre-rooted. it worked like a charm.... Now I can just go to this rom and use all my apps that require the phone to be unrooted.... Again thanks for the idea....

Can I just ask what version of chroma wasn't pre rooted? I want to do the same if possible. Thanks

well, 2 months ago it was being called older.. anyways, the far majority of roms do not have root. you need to flash the supersu file shen flashing the roms, for root. but, to flash a rom, yoh need an unlocked bootloader and twrp recovery. most apps that check for root will still think that you have root though.

i must have fell asleep during this development lol
far as i have ever seen, its rare for a rom to not be rooted, however, more frequently devs have had it off by default, and its a treasure hunt to find where to turn it on.
i do always flash the su zip, to avoid this tedious hunting though.

yup I found that most are pre-rooted, though found cleancore that works great. I've just installed multirom and that booted into it then tested a couple of apps that are blocked on root (Banking app and Sky Go), and happy days they work great.
Its annoying and rather wasteful having have a second rom just to run a couple of apps but at least now I can use the apps on my device if I want to. Thanks
Typical apps block hacking (root) so the work around instead of unrooting is to go deeper with the hacks/mods

I'm 99% sure it will work because they are literally the same phone. It's just different carrier settings.. In any case if the file is not compatible with your phone then it simply wont flash. No worry of a brick.

Is there a link available yet? Sorry for the rush but I'm pretty excited. (I can't pull the update since I have a T-Mobile SIM in my AT&T S6.)

I'm having trouble downloading. I was at 0.5 GB/1.6 GB and the download stopped; now I can't even access the download page.
EDIT: never mind

Should I be adding all 4 files to ODIN? My biggest problem is that my phone is still on OE2 and I'm having problems updating.

Somebody pls make a flashable version of this so we can still keep root.

So this will burn a e-fuse? Is it supposed to? Does that hurt warranty as well?

e-fuse is samsungs way of blocking you from downgrading the firmware. This is official samsung software. You will not trip knox.

oh, I got confused. I thought the OP said our e-fuse would be set off, but he's saying it will be set off if we try and downgrade.
Does this update delete personal data? Or does it just update.

Dude thanks for posting these! When the 5.1.1 update was first rolled out I noobed it up and tried to get my device ready by flashing back to stock. It was rooted and on OF4 via the FlashFire method to keep root but when I flashed to the original stock it ended up wiping my baseband and as a result I lost data for two days. I just flashed these and now all is well again. Thanks again!

Stock S6 [SM-G920T] Kernel?

Hello again, I'm back with another question.
After successfully rooting my T-Mobile S6, I was wondering if anyone has a backup of the S6's original kernel. I would like to have it just in case something goes wrong with my phone, and thankfully nothing has, but I just want to be on the safe side. I've already tripped KNOX so, no official repairs for me. Also, for any of you S6/S6 Edge users that wanna root, here's the guide I used: Click Here
Good luck! Make sure to get the right kernel! :good:

Yes, along with Android Pay. Samsung pay however, seems to crash no matter what. IR function (The Peel Smart Remote App uses this) works, and everything runs smoothly. If your looking to use Xposed, your going to have to deodex the stock ROM, or install a custom one.

Yeah, I get that same message too. I'm looking for an updated kernel. And, I'm guessing it has to do with differences in kernels, or bootloader in the international model, but I could be wrong.

I tried rooting this update,it didn't want to stay running for whatever reason. Bonus though these files worked perfect im right back to stock again.
Edit.. After factory reset,rooting goes very smooth.

I still have no idea htf samsung pay works on every cc terminal, even old ones without NFC. Food lion and Best Buy are about the only places i frequent that accept Android pay. At Food lion, any location, after i tap the terminal all the instructions on the terminal LCD screen turn from english to spanish lol.

any way to make this into a flashable zip for flashfire? or flashing the files with flashfire without deleting everything? i doubt we can flash it like we would in odin as a firmware update but creating a zip and clearing caches just might work if the bl and rc is the same. not sure but im looking to update to this but don't want to go thought the whole set up and everything. i might anyway, not sure yet.

If you have a full backup then why not just flash new firmware with odin? Flash, root, restore data. Cant really get much easier or faster. What advantages are you seeing with a flashable zip that maybe i'm missing?

Some people do not have access to a computer to use odin maybe? Faster and easier to use flashfire as well. Odin is fine for me though.

Hi, I have the SM-G35U firmware currently installed on my AT&T phone. If I install this, will it wipe my phone or I can just download this over the old firmware (and still keep all my data).

Yes, it will clear out your phone (downloads, data, etc). So before you flash the firmware. Make a complete back up just in case.

advantages would be doing everything on one device like flashing the update and restoring data at the same time. and further more possibly making the flashable zip pre rooted and debloated. making it almost a cutom stock rom without the at&t and samsung bloat. and for people wanting an unrooted install then odin would be more useful for flashing it in my opinion. having root now and flashfire i dont really see the need to have to use odin still for every update unless it has a new bl.
