THIS RECOVERY WILL TRIP YOUR KNOX COUNTER ..AND UR WARRANTY WILL BE VOID
THIS RECOVERY IS ONLY FOR THE S5 MINI(G800H) [QCOM MSM8228]
PLEASE BE CAREFUL ... THIS RECOVERY HASNT BEEN TESTED "FULLY"...ONLY WIPE CACHE AND DALVIK CACHE , INSTALL ZIP IS TESTED
PLEASE BACKUP YOUR DATA AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP OF THE FIRMWARE BEFORE PROCEEDING..HAPPY FLASHING!
Why twrp ? Why not a pre-rooted firmware which will not void warranty?
Ans : TWRP has many more functionality than stock recovery ! Rooting means to playing around with your device.If some thing goes wrong it you have to flash the whole firmware again instead,backup your ROM through CWM and if something goes wrong restore your backup AS SIMPLE AS THAT !
All you have to do is follow my instructions :
STEP 1 :
-Download and setup ADB drivers for your device
can be found here Drivers !
STEP 2 :
-Download the recovery from ---> Link
-Download odin 3 Link
-Turn of your device and go to odin mode [ Vol down + power + home button (all at the same time) ] release it when you see Galaxy S5 Minilogo
-Press vol up to confirm
STEP 3 :
-Now that you are in odin mode connect your device via usb cable !
-Now open Odin3 3.09 that you have downloaded.
-If there is a pop-up like Installing ADB drivers let it get finished it is usually updates !!!!
-Make sure the COM : xx (xx is usb port number it can be any number so dont worry about it,just verify COM is lit up)
-Select the recovery (Link in STEP 2) ! Now select AP and browse to where you have .tar file and select it
MAKE SURE U UNTICK THE AUTO-REBOOT BUTTON
-Click Start
ONCE IT SAYS PASS ...REMOVE THE BATTERY ...THEN RE-INSERT THE BATTERY AND BOOT INTO RECOVERY USING VOL UP + HOME + POWER BUTTON
HOW TO ROOT THE DEVICE :
-Download SuperSu (obviously the latest one) from here ------> Click here !
-Copy that to internal sd card
-Power off your device and press vol up + power + home button (all at once)
-Select install zip from sdcard --->choose zip from sdcard ---> scroll down and flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.xx.zip
Done ! And you are ready to go

Thanks for the mention, you're most welcome, bro!
Thank you very much. Let me confirm if it is for g800h dual sim phone.
My G800H/DS works fine with both sim cards -- sim manager, sms, calls, everything is ok.
"-Select the recovery (Link in STEP 2) ! Now select AP and browse to where you have .tar file and select it"
In step 3 how to select the recovery file?
I see PDA button. How to select AP. where is it in odin?

it depends on the version of odin your using
if your odin has PDA .. then put the recovery there (v 3.07 and before )
if your odin has AP ... Then put the recovery there (v3.09 onwards of odin)
Thank you very much. Done.
cheers

Thank you! Flashed now and works perfect!
Works fine on my G800H/DS. It wont write to the external SD (64GB eXFat) but otherwise it works like a champ.
hello rutvikrvr,
2 short questions.. is it possible to adjust the time settings for different time zones (eg +1 for europe / vienna) ?
If i make a backup to the internal sd i cannot see any content in the TWRP folder with eg. es file explorer, only when i boot with recovery and use the present file manager.. is it a bug or intention?
Thanks!

In advanced settings you should get an option to change the time zone.... And for the second thing... If es file explorer doesn't support reading .ext4 files .. Then it won't show up

Yes, i found this setting - BUT if I set the time zone to UTC +1 (Berlin, Brussels, Paris) - the correct time zone for vienna too - the time is shown as 8:43 pm - but it is now 7:43 pm - so i think the winter / summertime is not considered?
The second thing.. in the TWRP folder it is a folder called backup and in this also a folder.. if i copy the whole TWRP Folder with the file manager from the recovery to the external sd - i CAN see the whole content from the TWRP folder with ES File Explorer .. on the internal sd not.. Strange

Hi, just thought I share my experience in changing CSC code. Initially I purchased my S5 with XSE (Indonesian) CSC code. Not having the patient for lollipop, I flashed Kazakhastan ROM and my CSC code changed to SKZ. After several months, samsung decided to release lollipop for XSE region and I flashed to it but was stuck with XXV (Vietnam). Not sure what happened but it seems that it takes the first code in the multi-CSC rom. Anyway this had me frustrated for a couple of months. So without further ado, here is the steps:
1. Download requirements:
-Download the BOC3 indian ROM: G900HXXU1BOC3_G900HODD1BOC3_G900HXXU1BOAD_HOME.tar.md5 (must be this ROM - this rom allows change CSC code without root)
-Download your country ROM (for my example is G900HXXU1BOD3_G900HOLB1BOD1_G900HXXU1BOCA_HOME.tar.md5)
-Download and install Cygwin - or any app which can modify .tar files, but lets use Cygwin for this case
-Download and install Odin 3.09 or higher (to flash ROMs)
2. Flash the indian ROM (G900HXXU1BOC3_G900HODD1BOC3_G900HXXU1BOAD_HOME.tar.md5) to your device
3. While waiting for the ROM to flash, open your country rom, remove .md5 at the end so the name will be from G900HXXU1BOD3_G900HOLB1BOD1_G900HXXU1BOCA_HOME.tar.md5 to G900HXXU1BOD3_G900HOLB1BOD1_G900HXXU1BOCA_HOME.tar
4. Open the G900HXXU1BOD3_G900HOLB1BOD1_G900HXXU1BOCA_HOME.tar with winzip or winrar, extract cache.img and hidder.img and place in home folder of Cygwin
5. Open cygwin and type the following:
tar -H ustar -cf csc.tar cache.img hidden.img
6. Test the indian rom, open dialer and type *#272*your-imei-number# - a selection of CSC should appear meaning that the ROM can change CSC without root
7. Flash in Odin, put the csc.tar in CSC and flash - this will not trip knox - I have tried this myself
8. Boot your phone, open dialer and type *#272*your-imei-number# - from here more codes should appear including the ones included in the csc.tar file
9. Select your country code (in this case I selected XSE) and it will automatically reboot
10. Shut down and check your CSC in bootloader (hold power + up + home) it should be correct now
11. Flash your country rom, clear cache and everything and voila!
Please also note that this guide should work on other devices as long as the device has a rom with *#272*your-imei-number# enabled without root
Hope this helps!

Many are struggling with the firmware update process because they are outside the US and/or without an ATT account. There are three ways to update your S6 Active - using the official Samsung Smart Switch program, manually flashing the firmware with Odin, and manually sideloading with ADB.
Option 1 works for people located in the US with an ATT sim card. However some people can't see the latest firmware.
Option 2 works for everybody regardless of their firmware, mobile operator or location.
Option 3 works for everybody regardless of their firmware, mobile operator or location.
There is a Troubleshooting Tutorial at the end of the post. If you run into a problem, make sure to check there before asking for help.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPTION 1: Using Samsung's Smart Switch program
(It works for some users but others say the program is not showing the latest firmware)
--------------
1.) Download and install Smart Switch on your computer.
-> Smart Switch for your PC
-> Smart Switch for your Mac
2.) Connect the cable to a compatible USB port on your computer.
3.) Connect the other end of the cable to your mobile device.
4.) Allow your computer to install any required drivers for your device. The process may take a few minutes.
5.) Open Smart Switch on your computer and allow it to make the connection.
-> If a software update is available for your device, Smart Switch will automatically prompt you to update. At any time, you can click Update.
6.) Click Update to begin downloading the necessary files.
7.) Click OK to proceed.
Your device may turn off and on a few times during the update process. After the update is complete your data should be preserved. However if you stop the installation by turning off the device, or unplugging the USB cable, your device may not work normally. To avoid data loss you should back up everything before you begin the update.
You cannot downgrade the software after the update has been completed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPTION 2: Download v23 - 7.0.1 - G890AUCS7DRA2 firmware and flash it with Odin
(If you have a problem check the Troubleshooting Tutorial at the bottom of the post.)
Once your firmware is updated to Nougat 7.* you cannot use Odin to downgrade to Lollipop 5.* or Marshmallow 6.*. The bootloader is also upgraded and cannot be downgraded to a lower version.
--------------
IMPORTANT: Flashing via this method WILL WIPE EVERYTHING SO BACKUP FIRST!
1.) Download the latest Odin version.
2.) Download the firmware (v23 - 7.0.1 - G890AUCS7DRA2) from one of the links below:
-> v23 - 7.0.1 - G890AUCS7DRA2 at Mega.nz + (Alternative AndroidFileHost Link) (Thanks to @Phamvietquy)
-> If you know about other links, please share!
--------------------------------------------------------------
If you need v16 or v18 for some reason... I'm leaving the download links below:
-> v18 - 7.0 - G890AUCU6DQF1 at Mega.nz + (Alternative Google Drive Link) (Thanks to @Phamvietquy)
-> v16 - 7.0 - G890AUCU6DQD1 at Mega.nz + (Alternative Mega.nz Link) (Thanks to @Phamvietquy)
3.) Ensure that you have installed the USB drivers first.
4.) Prerequisites: Before you proceed prepare these necessary things as follows so you will not screw-up your phone:
• Create a back-up with Smart Switch of all your personal data, like: Contacts, Messages, Applications, Pictures and Videos, so that you will not lost it just in-case something might went wrong after the update.
• Make sure that your Galaxy S6 Active battery is fully charged to ensure stability and to get rid of power failure issues while updating.
• Prepare a PC, this will not work on Mac.
• Enable USB debugging mode if you are having issues connecting your device to the computer try to enable the this option. In your Samsung Galaxy S6 Active go to Settings >> About device >> then look for the firmware "Build number" and then tap that build number for around 7-times. Then hit back to Settings > Developer option > Enable USB Debugging.
• TURN OFF the Reactivation Lock - Go to Settings > PERSONAL > Lock screen and security > Find My Mobile and log in your Samsung Account. Then uncheck the Turn Reactivation lock on. This is only needed if you already turned-it-ON, from which you cannot modify the system when it's turned-ON.
• If you disabled some system bloatware manually or with a third party software, make sure everything is enabled again. Check the Troubleshooting Tutorial at the end if you run into any problems.
5.) Start ODIN. DO NOT touch the default options such as check-marked boxes "Auto-Reboot" and "F-Reset Time" while leaving the "e-Partition" unchecked.
6.) Reboot the Galaxy S6 Active into Download Mode: Turn it Off first. Then press and hold the Volume Down, HOME and Power ON button at the same time). You will then presented into a "Warning Message" screen, just press the Volume Up to continue.
7.) Connect the USB data cable from Phone to PC. The ID:COM box will turn to a bluish color when the phone is properly connected and recognized with ODIN.
8.) Extract the stock firmware from the zip file and load in ODIN. Just click on the BL button then select the files starting with "BL_". Then click the AP button and choose the file starting with "AP_", same with the buttons CP and CSC:
BL Button loads BL_G890AUCS7DRA2_CL12599862_QB16473731_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
AP Button loads AP_G890AUCS7DRA2_CL12599862_QB16473731_REV02_user_low_ship_meta.tar.md5
CP Button loads CP_G890AUCS7DRA2_CP8601344_CL12599862_QB16473731_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
CSC Button loads CSC_ATT_G890AATT7DRA2_CL12599862_QB16473731_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5
9.) Lastly, tick the "START" button when all is set and ready to begin flashing.
Do not disconnect nor do anything when the phone is already in flash mode. You may mess up the phone if you accidentally interfere with the installation. Wait until a word "PASS" appears on the top-left side of the ODIN screen - it is an indication that the installation was successful. (If you get FAILED errors, check the USB connection condition, repeat the whole process)
Wait until the phone completely reboots, then unplug it from the PC.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPTION 3: Sideload via ADB to Nougat v28 - 7.0.1 - G890AUCS7DRF2
(Huge thanks to @ccrowe3 & @archie87 & @Jimmyvb98 for the info and the firmware links!) These files cannot be flashed with ODIN. Use the instructions below!
--------------
IMPORTANT: Flashing via this method WILL WIPE EVERYTHING SO BACKUP FIRST. You can use this option regardless of your firmware version. Just make sure to sideload the proper file for your current firmware!
1.) Prerequisites: Before you proceed prepare these necessary things as follows so you will not screw-up your phone:
• Create a back-up with Smart Switch of all your personal data, like: Contacts, Messages, Applications, Pictures and Videos, so that you will not lost it just in-case something might went wrong after the update.

• If you disabled some system bloatware manually or with a third party software, make sure everything is enabled again. Check the Troubleshooting Tutorial at the end if you run into any problems.
2.) Download the firmware packages from the official AT&T Update server to your PC (or use the alternative links):

3.) Reboot the phone into recovery. Turn it off and wait a minute for it to completely turn off. Hold down Volume Up + Home + Power until you see a little Android guy. It will say Applying System Update or something like that possibly, and just let it do it's thing until a menu comes up.
4.) Select "Apply Update from ADB"
5.) Make sure you have ADB installed on your PC:
-> ADB for Windows
-> ADB for Mac
-> ADB for Linux
6.) If you're on firmware v19 and you're going for v20 the update file is called "SS-G890AUCS6DQG1-to-S6DQH1-UP". Put it in the ADB folder. You can rename it to anything easy to remember like "FIRMWARE".
7.) In the ADB folder, hold SHIFT + mouse right click and choose "Open command window here". Then type the command "adb sideload FIRMWARE" (where FIRMWARE is how you named your file). If you have any problems check the Troubleshooting Tutorial at the end of the post.
8.) Wait patiently. The firmware files over 1 GB can take over 30-40 minutes. It's okay.
9.) Phone reboots and will hang at AT&T logo for a short time and it'll boot up properly. Now repeat steps 3 to 8 for the firmware files until you're on the latest firmware.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Troubleshooting Tutorial
• If you get an error message "cannot read FIRMWARE" in the ADB window:
-> Try running ADB as administrator. To do that click your Windows START button, then search for "CMD" and you'll see "cmd.exe" in the results. Right click it and choose "Run as Administrator". Then if your ADB folder is located in C:\adb, write the commands cd c:\adb and then adb sideload FIRMWARE (where FIRMWARE is how you named the firmware file).
-> Try with different ADB drivers. Uninstall yours, restart the PC and install these: http://adbdriver.com/downloads/
-> Try again on another PC, try on different version of Windows, try with a different USB cable. Users reporting this problem resolved it like this.
-> Re-download (you can't use the one you've got!) the file which cannot be read. Don't rename it. Just put it in the ADB folder, copy the file name so you don't have to type it manually, and run the command in ADB -> "adb sideload [name of file]". To paste in Command Prompt you have to Right Mouse Click in the window and choose Paste in the menu. If this solution doesn't work, rename the firmware file to "01" and try "adb sideload 01". If it doesn't work type "adb sideload 01.zip" but don't rename the file, keep it "01".
-> Rename the ADB folder to Android and put it in your C:\ drive. Your active directory to ABD must be C:\Android. Then SHIFT + Right click to run Command Prompt from that folder and type "adb sideload [name of file]". If it doesn't work, rename the file to add .zip extension and try again "adb sideload [name of file].zip". If it doesn't work try "adb sideload [name of file].zip.zip".
-> If you renamed the file to add a .zip extension (for example FIRMWARE.zip) and you've got the error message, then you renamed it back to FIRMWARE and you've still get the same error message, leave the name FIRMWARE (without the .zip extension) but try "adb sideload FIRMWARE.zip". So even thought your file is called FIRMWARE without zip extension, you still type the command with the zip extension and it may work.
-> One person said the following: "Adding to the list of things that may lead to * cannot read 'file.zip' * : check your PC's available memory. I'm a dev so I had a few apps running and hogging all of my 12Gb of ram, but I wasn't aware until windows suggested to close one of them . I then realised adb may not have enough memory to open the file (or whatever it is that it's doing before sideloading). Once I stopped some of the apps, thus lowering the memory usage, it worked OK."
-> Under Windows 10 click the "START" button (bottom left on the screen) -> Click "Settings" -> Click "Update & Security" -> In the left menu click "For developers" -> Select "Developer mode" on the right. -> Click "Yes" when prompted. Now download new ADB files from here, unzip and replace the files in c:\adb. Now restart the PC and then try sideloading again. If you get an error, add .zip to the firmware file and try again.
-> Try to "elevate" the "adb" process as explained here.
• If you get an error message Status 7 on the phone during the sideload:
-> If you see this error during sideload after flashing the modified 5.1.1. BOJE with ODIN (without the cache.img), then flash the original BOJE again (unmodified, with the cache.img). Then try sideloading again.
-> Please check the link below. You probably have some system bloatware disabled (manually or with a third party software) which ruined the process. So enable everything and then start over:
-> http://www.**********.com/fix-status-7-error-while-installing-ota-update-or-roms/
• If the sideload fails, your phone goes into bootload cycle and in Recovery Mode you see "dm-verity verification failed..."
-> Don't worry. This happened to me and I thought I have to buy a new phone or ship this one to Samsung. No need! To solve the issue:
1. Download latest official firmware zip file from OPTION 2. You can't use the files from OPTION 3!
2. Download the [TOOL] TAR.MD5 PACKAGER from this XDA thread.
3. Extract the official firmware zip to get the MD5 file inside called "CSC_ATT_G890AATT5CPK3_CL9696102_QB11587784_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5".
4. Put the MD5 file in the main folder of the TAR_MD5_PACKAGER TOOL. Not in a sub folder, but in the main folder.
5. Start the tool from "TAR.MD5_PACKAGER.bat" and you'll see a menu in the tool window. Click "3" to Extract the Rom.
6. In the next window click "1", then "Enter", then "Y". It'll start extracting the MD5 file.
7. Once ready it'll ask you to click any key. Do it and you'll see the main menu of the TOOL program. Now go to the TOOL folder, then the subfolder "parts" and delete the file "cache.img"
8. Switch back to the TOOL program and click "1" to "Make Tar" and to create the new TAR file. On the next screen it'll ask you to choose a name. Type anything you want. I've typed CSC. Then click "Enter", then "Y". It'll start packaging the new tar file. Once it's done it'll ask you to click any key and then it'll bring the main menu of the TOOL again.
9. Now in the main menu of the TOOL click "2" to "Add MD5 to Tar", then click "1" and then "Enter", then "Y". It'll start adding the MD5 and once it's completed it'll ask you to press any key.
10. Press any key and you're back to the main menu of the TOOL. Press "4" to "Exit" and you're out of the program. Go to the TOOL folder, then subfolder "packaged". Inside you'll find the new flashable file "CSC.tar.md5". Do not rename or change the file anymore. Now follow OPTION 2 -> Step 8 to flash the latest firmware again but when you're loading the last file in ODIN under the CSC Button use the new file you've just created - "CSC.tar.md5"!!
11. That's it! Your phone will load up normally. Before you start sideloading again, reboot the phone into Recovery -> Turn it off and then hold down Volume Up + Home + Power until you see the Recovery menu. Wipe the cache. Then reboot and you can continue to sideload. Make sure to follow all requirements in OPTION 3 -> Step 1.
12. In case you can't sideload and you get Status 7 error, flash the UNMODIFIED ORIGINAL 5.1.1. BOJE again. This should fix the problem.
• During OPTION 3 if ODIN always fail when it's almost finished and you're stuck with a screen that says there was a problem upgrading:
-> Try Smart Switch's emergency recovery function. You'll have to type the phone's model SM-G890A and then your IMEI number. To find your IMEI number just enter Download Mode by holding VOLUME DOWN + HOME + POWER. Once you see the blue/green screen, DON'T click VOLUME UP but instead click the HOME button once. You'll see your IMEI, SERIAL NUMBER and more.
If you still get an error message, paste it in the comments and we'll try to find a resolution

Good guy
Thank you.
I did follow all the instruction step by step. After odin say pass, My g890 just say updating, then Erasing and stuck in Samsung Galaxy S6 active logo for ever. Please help me to save my phone
Okay. I hope you've made a backup as suggested in the instructions.
Let's save the phone first. Do a factory reset. You can see how here (first method):
http://www.hardreset.info/devices/samsung/samsung-g890a-galaxy-s6-active/
After the phone is working normally you can try flashing one more time. Make sure you follow the steps to the letter.

Let's save the phone first. Do a factory reset. You can see how here (first method):
http://www.hardreset.info/devices/samsung/samsung-g890a-galaxy-s6-active/
After the phone is working normally you can try flashing one more time. Make sure you follow the steps to the letter.

I tried without any luck , still stucked at logo S6 active, I can see my recovery is new build ( it pass flash right? ). Any suggestion, I also try to flash back to 5.0.2 via Odin but it say Failed: SW rev check Fail Device: 3 Binari: 1
Hm, did you do a full wipe data factory reset after flashing? Press and hold Volume Up+ Home+Power button, then select the Wipe Data/Factory Reset, to gain a fresh firmware installed.

I did, get into recovery, factory reset then reboot --> stucked. Factory reset, re-flash --> pass --> stucked. I changed from Sony and really have no knowledge about that device.
Okay, run Samsung Smart Switch on your PC and connect the phone to the PC. Some people report that with the program they've managed to recover the phone from Soft brick and complete Android 5.1.1 installation.

My smart switch said "unsupported device" @[email protected]
I'm looking into another possible solution. In the meantime have you tried flashing 5.1.1 again ?

Did it many times, always pass and stuck. Odin also did not let me flash 5.0.2 when always failed. I thought bootloader was locked when I flash 5.1.1
The reason for this error is during the previous flash it upgraded the bootloader to 5.1.1 and now it is refusing to go back to an older version. You cannot flash 5.0.2 bootloader again. You have to stay with Android 5.1.1
I followed the upgrading instructions for both S6 Active phones at home and they're working fine. Maybe the problem is with your firmware file. Sometimes the file may not be correctly downloaded even though no errors are shown during the download process. Can you try re-download the firmware (use the new link from Mega.nz, it's much faster) and flash it again. Also make sure you select the firmware file in Odin under the AP button.
Let me know what happens. If this doesn't work you can use the XDA Assist forum to ask for more help. There are much more experienced people there which can help.

The latest firmware: Android 5.1.1 Lollipop (G890AATT3BOJE - 31.10.2015).
Next version: Android Marshmallow 6.0 (Confirmed! Expected Q1 2016)
Many are struggling with the firmware update process because they are outside the US and/or without an ATT account. There are two ways to update your S6 Active:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPTION 1: Using Samsung's Smart Switch program
(It works for some users but оthers say the program is not showing the latest firmware)
--------------
1.) Download and install Smart Switch on your computer.
-> Smart Switch for your PC
-> Smart Switch for your Mac
2.) Connect the cable to a compatible USB port on your computer.
3.) Connect the other end of the cable to your mobile device.
4.) Allow your computer to install any required drivers for your device. This process may take a few minutes.
5.) Open Smart Switch on your computer, and allow it to make the connection.
-> If a software update is available for your device, Smart Switch will automatically prompt you to update. At any time, you can click Update.
6.) Click Update to begin downloading the necessary files.
7.) Click OK to proceed.
Your device may turn off and on a few times during the update process. After the update is complete, your data are preserved, but if you stop the installation by removing the battery, turning off the device, or unplugging the USB cable, your device may not work normally. To avoid data loss, we recommend you back up your important data before you begin the update.
You cannot downgrade the software after the update has been completed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPTION 2: Download the latest firmware and flash it with Odin
(It should work for everybody. Credit to: Androidromupdate.com)
--------------
1.) Download the latest Odin version.
2.) Download the latest firmware (5.1.1) here:
-> Mega.nz (Faster download speed. Choose "Download through your browser".)
-> Rapidgator.net
-> Alfafile.net
-> If know other DL links, please share!
3.) Ensure that you have installed the USB drivers first.
4.) Prerequisites: Before you proceed prepare these necessary things as follows so you will not screw-up your phone:
• Create a back-up with Smart Switch of all your personal data, like: Contacts, Messages, Applications, Pictures and Videos, so that you will not lost it just in-case something might went wrong after the update.
• Make sure that your Galaxy S6 Active battery is fully charged to ensure stability and to get rid pf power failure issues while updating.
• Prepare a PC, this will not work on Mac.
• Enable USB debugging mode if you are having issues connecting your device to the computer try to enable the this option. In your Samsung Galaxy S6 Active go to Settings >> About device >> then look for the firmware “Build number” and then tap that build number for around 7-times. Then hit back to Settings > Developer option > Enable USB.
• TURN OFF the Reactivation Lock – Got Settings > Security > Reactivation Lock and then uncheck the Turn Reactivation lock on. This is only needed if you already turned-it-ON, from which you cannot modify the system when it’s turned-ON.
5.) Run Odin flasher program. DO NOT touch the default options such as check-marked boxes “Auto-Reboot” and “F-Reset Time” while leaving the “Re-Partition” unchecked.
6.) Reboot the Galaxy S6 Active into Download Mode: Turn it Off first. Then press and hold the Volume Down, HOME and Power ON button at the same time). You will then presented into a “Warning Message” screen, just press the Volume Up to continue. Once the Android robot and a “Downloading” message appears.
7.) Connect the USB data cable from Phone to PC. The ID:COM box will turn to a bluish color when the phone is properly connected and recognized with Odin.
8.) Load the stock firmware. Just click on the AP button then select and load the single NC2 stock firmware packed:
AP: ‘G890AUCU3BOJE_G890AATT3BOJE_G890AUCU3BOJE_HOME.tar.md5′.
9.) Lastly, tick the ‘START’ button when all is set and ready to begin flashing.
Do not disconnect nor do anything when the phone is already in flash mode. You’ll messed up the phone if you accidentally interfere the installation. Wait until a word “PASS” appears on the left side of the Odin screen, it is an indication that the installation successfully completes. (If you get failed errors, check the USB connection condition, repeat the whole process)
Wait until the phone completely reboots, then unplug it from PC.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We'll all appreciate if you share your experience with the new firmware!
UPDATE: Dec 03, 2015
Option 1 did not work for me. The program showed me 5.0.2 as current/final version.
Option 2 worked like a charm. I've downloaded Odin and the 5.1.1 firmware. Followed the instructions above and flashed it like a boss 5.1.1 is working great on both S6A phones! Screenshots attached.

OPTION 3: Take It To A Best Buy Store
If your local Best Buy has a Samsung Experience Shop, they can update your firmware for you. Downloading the firmware takes the longest. They'll start the firmware download for you, you can leave for a an hour or two, come back, and the actual update will take less than 10 minutes. It might be good etiquette to actually leave while the firmware is downloading. (Not every Samsung rep will enjoy "talking shop" with you.) But if you're lucky someone with an S6 Active will have visited them before, and you can get straight to updating.
My Nexus 5 is already on 6.0.1, while my Nexus 6 is still on 5.1.1. Seriously, screw AT&T. As soon as the Marshmallow update is released by Samsung (I hope they jump straight to 6.0.1) I'm heading straight to Best Buy.
Credit for this method belongs to some one on some Android forum. So thanks!
So your option is for people who can download the new firmware but don't want to wait?

Do you think that can I install TWRP and root it using these files with no need to flash the firmware TTT?
EDIT. It´s done, it worked for me Odin v.3.12.5 and flashed No-verity and Magisk via ADB sideload

Here is it, install the 3.2.3 version. But please, speak in english here,it is against the rules to use another language as only a small number of people will understand and be able to help.
Is the bootloader necessary?

I have same CSC: BRD1 but firmware is from other country, security patch: 01/abril.
Do you think that can I install TWRP and root it using these files with no need to flash the firmware TTT?
EDIT. It´s done, it worked for me Odin v.3.12.5 and flashed No-verity and Magisk via ADB sideload

I know this post is old but I am having some troubles with my j7 prime g610m. I think the solution is about this "No-verity". Let me explain : I have installed Oreo ROM, Binary 7 some days ago. Then, installed TWRP but this one never shows my internal storage files. It shows "0mb" when I select storage button. I have already done the "format data", change file system, which I've seen on others websites and tutorials. But reading this post I've found something new for me. This file "no-verity" is the solution? I have to flash it, right? To solve this problem... My question is : HOW DO I FLASH IT if my TWRP shows nothing of my files. I read you flashed it via ADB Sideload. Could you please teach me how to it? I'll thank you so much! :fingers-crossed:

Sorry for delay, it's really a very old post that I don't remember exactly the issue with TWRP.
Install this universal ADB drivers onto your Windows PC https://adb.clockworkmod.com/ then connect your device power on to the PC, and see if it's properly recogniced typing
Code:
adb devices
if yes then you can continue, type:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
to reboot to TWRP, then place the zip that you want to flash onto your device either DM verity or Magisk in the same folder where ADB was installed, usually on your main drive (this just to avoid paths input) go to Advanced settings in TWRP and search for ADB Sideload feature, swipe from your device to start it and in your ADB/fastboot terminal type:
Code:
adb sideload name-of-your-file.zip
to sideload it to your device and it's all. (replace name-of-your-file.zip with the name of the file that you'll go to flash keeping the .zip extension)
