[HOWTO] / [GUIDE] Bootloader unlock for S6 Edge SM-G9250 - Galaxy S6 Edge General

Some users on Mobile01 found that Samsung has provided factory bootloader unlocker in the Samsung App store.
Simply Search for "CROM Service" and you will find it.

Proberly because the site the op directed us to was in Chinese . Well I think it's Chinese. LoL
Which is why I warned of all the permitions its asking for. Could be a fake / malware. Be careful.

okay i found crom services but its asking me to sign up for a samsung account and the message is all in chinese,
even though the device has been switched to English there is still CHinese, i think its rea`lly cool that this crom thing is here, but what OS do we install afterwards?
anyone have a guide on what to do for the samsung sign up?

Where did you find the CROM services? I agree though that its really weird that a locked bootloader on ATT would still have message about warning about installing custom OS with continue or cancel.

i could be completely stupid to say this, but are you posting in the right area?
i thought this was for the chinese model, im not sure if US variants have the crom thing.... unless you have a chinese AT& T one?
if this sounds shifty I KNOW NOTHING....

Hi Guys, This should be ONLY for the Chinese variant of the Samsung Edge, However I fully believe the app can be ported over. Don't download from Chinese Site, it is probably malware. I downloaded mine directly from Samsung App store.
If anyone knows how to export apps from the samsung app store, I would happily try to grab the app for you guys.
I can also translate the step by step if you guys give me the screenshots you guys are seeing.

Gentlemen,
I've got a couple versions of the apk posted on xda. It looks like it's failing on version or class checker, I'm trying to get some dev attention but not so much yet.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...sung-factory-bootloader-unlocker-apk-t3086609
Anyway, I've installed android studio and I'm going to take a crack at it but I haven't scripted anything in years so no promises. My feeling is that it can be adapted for different regions.

Market alternative

Hello everyone, I'm happy to say that I'm hosting a 'market' specifically for Sprint Hero root users. If anyone is interested in this, you can install it on your phone in a few steps.
First, download the market program and install it on your phone. It's at http://app2.bikcmp.com:4121/dl/Aptoide.apk
Once you install it, launch it and press no to add their default repository. Then, press menu>Manage repo>menu>New repository. The url to the repository should be EXACTLY:
http://app2.bikcmp.com:4121/repo/files/
After that, go back and you should be able to see the applications. If you're a developer and have a application you'd like to add, or have a question, feel free to email me: [email protected].
Yes, I know there aren't many applications in it right now.

Depends: A pretty way? No. A basic way? Yes.
http://app2.bikcmp.com/repo/files/ has a directory listing of the apk's, and you can download them from there too.

Same thing for me, i didnt download it as it said on it "shop Display use only - Not for Users" which i found quite odd as it is appears to me as an update mean it must be on my phone somewhere.
My phone came from phonesforyou uk, don't know if that has anything to do with it.
Crucio
It was showing up on my O2 PAYG handset as well.... well, it was until I changed the firmware and CSC
Did you get iPlayer pre-installed as well?
yeah it came with the iplayer on it and thats one of them apps it wont let me remove, still havent rooted yet, downloading the firmware samfirmware.com atm to flash that first.
If you really want it, please get the APK and post it. I'll then look for the password

Can you let me known which firmware you used. I've installed the tar for the KDD build in the PDA tab with Odin. I got the file from hotfile via samfirmware. It got rid of the o2 splashscreen and o2 wallpaper. I've unlocked it. So it is pretty much 100% clean.
I didn't load up anything in the CSC tab. Which CSC file did you load? Cheers.
Hello, i'm newbie here, i also bought a demo version of samsung galaxy note 10.1 N8010, and there is also retail mode app inside, but i cannot remove it, although i have restore to factory reset...any suggestion ?

[Q] Samsung Apps Store on Nexus 4

I've just upgraded from a Galaxy Note and I'm looking for the Samsung Apps Store, as I've purchased a number through the Samsung store.
It's showing as unavailable in the Play store, so wondered if anyone knows if it's available to download elsewhere?
I think many samsung apps require touchwiz that's why you don't see many of them being ported.

Requires Touchwiz framework
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

RESOLVED: Noob Question: How can I track down installation issue?

Hi,
I'm running a stock rooted Samsung S4 GPE (Google Play Edition) aka 9505G on t-mobile.
I'm trying to install an app via the play store but using market helper to spoof the device as a regular Galaxy S4 9500 otherwise the app does not show up.
The app starts installing then says "Error" with "Missing Shared Library". How can I find out what the missing dependency is? The aLogCat phone app doesn't give me any output. Would adb help?
People say the app needs system/framework/org.simalliance.openmobileapi.jar and system/SmartcardService.apk which I copied/pasted with the right permissions. SmarcardService didn't come with my non-touchwiz S4 and it doesn't seem to want to run. Could this be the problem? How do I get it running?
Thanks everyone in advance!

Hi,
It's a totally free app called softcard (formerly isis) wallet. It's only available for tmobile/att/verizon I think using the carrier phones. I have google wallet but for certain reasons I need to sign up for softcard/isis using the app which is very frustrating lol.

you have which carrier?
I have tmobile but it's not a problem to download the app from the playstore (market-helper is working). I think the problem is a messed up install of a shared library. According to adb logs from when I try to install:
Package com.isis.mclient.tmobile.activity requires unavailable shared library org.simalliance.openmobileapi; failing!
I'm not sure that I installed this library jar correctly: \system\framework\org.simalliance.openmobileapi.jar
It might also have something to do with nfcee_access.xml giving permissions to apps to use the nfc etc.
I think I have resolved the issue. I was missing a file called org.simalliance.openmobileapi.xml in /system/etc/permissions. Thanks for your help everyone. I will try to update the main thread I was following for instructions to see if anyone else could use this info.

I've ran into this problem while installing the CIBC mobile payment app which utilizes the secure element in an nfc enabled sim card. Are you able to share in more detail how you solved this issue?

I can upload apk files if needed, I'm in USA but was also part of the beta test program so my voice service worked for a while now, as far as custom Rom I'm pretty sure it needs to be touchwiz Rom to work I don't think it'll work in aosp type

I think the update is for the sm-g950U only :crying:
VPN is irrelevant IMHO. Afaik Samsung goes by your Samsung account. My Samsung account is registered to Germany and can't be changed. I don't think geographic location is relevant for the update.
Some people in beta had success with creating a new Samsung account with VPN, changing the location of the new account to US. But nothing you could change in an existing account...
Only the US released phone's are now using Bixby.. has something to do with the csc as well. I hope that we have the option later on to use it in the English language
