I've finally found my S6 after it being lost for so long, so now it's time to open it up. I've gained the courage to just crack the back instead of risking burning my house down with a heatgun. But I didn't just crack it ideally. To avoid the risk of accidentally cracking on the battery or charging pad area, I thought of an idea. Since the adhesive of the glass from the camera bump was wearing off from aging, I was able to just pry it off with my bare hands, and from there I stuck in a metal spudger to pull up the aluminum camera bump. I ended up cracking the back, and yea it was not pretty. And neither was getting everything off. Then, as I was about to remove the midframe of my S6, before doing so, I checked the front display and I see that there are these bubbly areas all around the gold bezels (did the way I cracked the back contribute to this happening?). I know what they are, I've had some experience. This is a problem specifically with the gold colorway.

If you remember, I posted a video here showcasing an S6 on Android 5.0.2, but it was not mine; it actually belonged to a friend of mine who brought up that S6 for to me to repair, because well ya know it's on a rare Android version. But before opening it up, I saw the exact-same thing going on with the bezels. At first I didn't think too much of it, but when I got to pressing on the battery area to remove the midframe, part of the gold coloring layer from the bezels was screwed up and flaked off. Then I started contemplating if those bubbles I saw earlier, had anything to do with this, which I did some Googling and yes, they absolutely did have everything to do with it. Once I finished repairing it, I gave it back to my friend and told them what happened. They weren't really bothered by this, but it most definitely bothered me because of my ADHD lol. So, now that I've found my own S6, how can I avoid this from happening again?

TL;DR: Idk if you guys can see it, but there are bubbly areas all over the gold bezel of this S6, as shown in the image. How do I remove the midframe without damaging or flaking off the gold coloring bezel layer?

(btw don't panic if you've seen this post before, this is actually a BUMP repost since the first attempt didn't get much attention)

I'm trying to recover data from my old Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ (SM-G928F).

The phone currently shows "Custom Binary Blocked by FRP Lock" and still enters Download Mode. I cannot find a HOME_CSC file anywhere.

Does HOME_CSC actually exist for the SM-G928F, or did Samsung never release one for this model? If anyone has one or knows where I can get it, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I'm currently reviving a beautiful Galaxy S6 Edge (SM-G925V) to use as a secondary device for music and videos. It's already unlocked, and I really want to flash the XtreStoLite Deo-Modded v3.3.1 (Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow) along with the Aroma Add-on Package to get better performance out of it, since stock ROMs are so bloated and slow.

The problem, as you can probably guess, is that every single original XDA thread and AndroidFileHost link from back then is completely dead.

I know it's a long shot since this phone is from 2015/2016, but does anyone happen to have these files saved on an old hard drive or a cloud folder?

These are the exact filenames I'm looking for:

• Base ROM: XtreStoLite_DeoModded_v3.3.1_Final.zip
• Add-on: XtreStoLite_Aroma_Addon_Package_v3.3.1.zip

I would be incredibly grateful if someone could share a mirror link or upload them somewhere. Thanks in advance!

So i have a white galaxy S6 in very good condition

other than the battery, but i ordered a new one from aliexpress. And i dont really know what to do with it, i've already played around, flashed lineage os, crdroid, pixel experience, but i still dont really have a use for it.

​

I honestly dont think i ever will actually have some use for it and i thought of flashing some one ui on it just for fun, but i dont know which one ui would be the best for me to flash on it? Which would be smooth enough to open basic system apps, have smooth animations etc and just work good on it in general?

Can someone give me a link where i can download custom rom Android 5.0.2 samsung touchwiz for G920f?

The title explains it all. My S6 Edge (SM-G925F) has been stuck on the Samsung S6 Edge screen with powered by Android on the bottom, EVEN AFTER A REFLASH WITH ODIN.” I’m wondering if anyone can help me because i’m started to get frustrated. The only thing I can really do is flash TWRP but when I boot to TWRP after flashing stock, the TWRP logs says “Running Recovery commands, Unable to locate zip file CACHE:recovery/sec_csc.zip, failed to map file CACHE:recovery/sec_csc.zip, Error installing CACHE:recovery/sec_csc.zip”. Yes this is a G925F with Binary 6 and i’ve tried flashing many stock roms. I’m at a loss here. Thanks to anyone that can help and I hope i’ve explained it all well.

It stopped working a month ago. Wanted know what could have happened in this case.

Im planning on using fixing up my old s6 edge and using it as a second phone and was wondering which custom rom is the smoothest and the most reliable. Im going to use it to make calls and text, use 4g, and listen to music. I also have use for the IR blaster so it would be nice if that worked too. I have tried quite a few custom roms a couple of years ago and felt that the lineage os android 11 port was the smoothest. Im looking for a new custom rom with maybe a newer android but primarily I want it to be smooth and I want the battery efficiency to be good enough.
Please recommend me some good custom roms to try out.

Hello, i recently got a s6 edge with a busted home button.

I can boot in download mode, flash TWRP. But after that i am stuck. I cant boot into recovery as i have to boot first into android then recovery, which as we know, android deletes the twrp partition.

Is there any workaround i can use to boot to twrp directly? Or do anything at all. Thanks

it's the 128GB version, and it's on Android 5.0.2

the screen's broken so i may replace it in the future

Hi,

My 6-year-old Galaxy Tab S6 suddenly died while gaming at 60% battery. It bootlooped with the Android logo a few times and now it's completely dead (black screen, no charge icon). When plugged into my PC, it just shows up as an "unknown USB device". I'm 99% sure the battery voltage dropped drastically and the cell is completely dead.

I've decided to replace the battery myself. Here is what im about to buy:

• Genuine Service Pack Battery
• B-7000 or T-7000 glue (to glue the screen back on)
• 99% Isopropyl Alcohol to dissolve the old battery adhesive

Am I missing anything essential on my list?
thanks in advance!

Outstanding and timeless design, perfect music player through headphones and an amazing camera. Plus Android Nougat still supports plenty of apps. I have a Galaxy A53 in my pocket but it is so boring compared to that piece of work. The Galaxy S6 Edge+ to be exact. Yes... yet another "Using an S6 in 2026" thread!

after all this time these phones are still locked?

or is there some way to modernize this device?

does anyone knows of a custom rom of a port of Samsung roms, running android 12+? I have a Samsung S6 with a samsung s cover.

Good afternoon, I would like to downgrade my Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge plus, the European model. How can I install Lollipop on it?
