In this latest installment of our troubleshooting series we will tackle the Galaxy S6 Edge failed to update software issue & other related problems. While the update is generally smooth sailing there are some owners of this device who are having issues with it. This update has improved the performance of the device and introduced several security features as well. This phone which was first released running on Android Lollipop has now been updated to Android Marshmallow. Please let me know how this tutorial worked for you.If you own the #Samsung #Galaxy #S6Edge then you probably have performed a software update on your device at some point. The "Emergency software recovery and initialization" procedure has to be completed BEFORE you finish the setup procedure of your S6, you know the "WiFi" / Accounts / blah, blah (after flashing the firmware) and not afterwards. On my phone, after doing so, I was able to flash this latest Vodafone Italy I have uploaded here. The solution is, once you go through the procedure I have described, to open up Samsung Smart Switch (the new "KIES" for S6 and S6 Edge), go to "MORE" -> "Emergency software recovery and initialization" and perform that task! I will actually re-write the latest firmware you have flashed to your phone BUT will also solve the ODIN issues. I just discovered myself that once I tried again the same ODIN firmware re-flashing with a different firmware I got stuck to the same nightmare. While the above described procedure will get you out of trouble caused by ODIN and out of the "Downloading" mode it will not actually solve the whole issue. Here is the recovery image for Italy (Vodafone) 5.0.2 G920FXXU1AODG to get you out of the trouble with the latest firmware: Now simply flash the "" via ODIN to you S6 and once done you'll have a functional phone with the latest firmware!ĭON'T FORGET to go into the newly created recovery and factory reset! For your own safety the CSC has to be aligned from one old firmware to the new one. Click OK when 7Zip will prompt you that you are going to overwrite the existing "recovery.img" and you are done. The TWRP fil actually contains in it a modified "recovery.img" file.įurther on I have created a copy of the TWRP recovery file and named it "" (or call it whatever it fits you), opened it up in 7Zip and just dragged the "recovery.img" (you have extracted previously from the exact firmware ODIN has ruined at flashing last time) over the existing one in the archive. tar files as opposed to WinRAR) and also downloaded a "pristine". To do so I have downloaded and installed 7Zip (since it's able to mangle. Yes, your'e right, in a 5 or blah-blah.tar file. To do so you have to actually put the "recovery.img" you have just extracted from the ".TAR.MD5" (or just ".TAR) into a flashable file that ODIN understands. pretty simple! Thank God! The idea is that once you reboot you phone and it shows as stuck in "Download" screen you have to flash the "recovery.img" that is actually inside the ".TAR" or ".TAR.MD5" file you have just flashed. DITTO! On some S6s ODIN will ruin your life and you can check that there are other similar horror stories around. For me it happened after having a custom ROM installed and trying to revert to Vodafone UK original rom (namely "G920FXXU1AOCZ_G920FVFG1AOC4_G920FXXU1AOCW_5"). No matter what version of Odin you're using (and I used 3.10.6) and what firmware are you trying to flash (original, not so original, with MD5 or without) Odin will **** up your phone and get you stuck to the bloody "Downloading" screen. let me explain before you begin recovery (and it will work, believe me!). I have spent almost my entire Friday on fire trying to solve the same issues as you are currently experiencing with the firmware link I have posted.
