Samsung Galaxy A6 + Need to reinstall OS - Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers

Hello guys,
last week my father's phone did a OS update and now it behaves crazy.
I mean, very very slow to boot, sometimes stuck on logo screen and I need to force reboot.
After booting, all apps the first time are loaded very slowly, and if they have been already opened once they are opened decently fast.
I already did Wipe cache partition and hard reset.
I kindly ask how can I reinstall the original OS using the computer and usb cable.
I did the same last year with another phone so so think I can do it if I have a short guide.
Thanks for help
Bye

Thank you very much.

Thanks in advance

[Q] Rooted K zoom Needed to the technical service. HELP PLEASE

Hi, my K Zoom needs to go to the Samsung technical service (some rare drops on the camera sensor), but I flashed a kernel, and then the latest official Rom with odin, and now I have the triangle shown on the download mode.
How can I revert the K Zoom to get the guarantee service?
I've read the ChainFire thread but the k zoom it's not listed to be supported. Someone had used it?
Any advice?
Please,I need you!
Thanks in advance!
No one has an idea?:crying:
Just download the firmware from Sam Mobile and flash with Odin. Do not flash any kernel. It will Revert Back to Stock and you can send it for Warranty Claim.
---------- Post added at 12:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 PM ----------
Do not flash any other file Except for Stock Firmware for your Model and it will be Okay.
Thanks!
The sequence i used:
1.- Custom Kernel Flashed
2.- Original firm from Sam Mobile and flashed with odin
3.- Now i´m not root and everything in stock
Now, when i enter in download mode this is what i see, with a previous screen with a yellow triangle, and then this:
Produc name: sm-115
Current Binary: samsung Official
System Status: Official
Ap swrev: (1)
If you´re right, the phone is stock and in guarrantee, isn´t it?
Thanks again!
(I´m traying to be really sure because i only have one try in the technical service... :angel

I have made some "screenshots" from these views, to help.
Can I get now my K Zoom to the technical service in guarantee?
Could anyone (please please!) confirm or deny, according with the photos of the previous post, that the phone is now "in guarantee"?
Thanks a lot!
Good morning...
And good night from Spain... (still needing your help!)
No
You cannot send this phone to samsung in this condition.
Do NOT flash Custom Kernel flash only firmware and then have a look if its changed to No Triangle.
THANKS Talpur!
So... I flashed the original rom, the triangle is still there. What could I do? Any idea? Thanks, once again.
Try Traingle away.
Its an app for removing triangle.
That will probably solvr your problem.
---------- Post added at 02:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 PM ----------
After running triangle away flash the rom again to be sure.
sorry, no chance yet
you can still try to sent it in
they will either send it back,
or offer to repair at your cost
else... sell it as defective on eBay
Just download the firmware from Sam Mobile and flash with Odin. Do not flash any kernel.

Don't have time to do right now, but thank you for the posting.... This will fix my "device not found???" On my laptop, with phone plugged in, IT comes up in file explorer as disc drive E. And asks me to load disc. It says zero bytes ... But TWRP says 20,0??? some MB on my phone. So, I don't think it's completely wiped. But, once again. Thank you or post.

[Q] Mexican ROM update? Version 98.2.16.en.MX available

I just got notified on my phone that 98.2.16.en.MX is available to install. Its an upgrade from the current Mexican ROM I'm running. Does anyone know anything about it? Is it 4.4?!
Odds are its just the heartbleed bugfix.
ATT's version was 98.5.38.MB866.ATT.en.US
I'll check it out. I've upgraded phones now so I don't care if I lose root. Give me about a couple hours and I'll report back.
Sent from my LG-D850 using XDA Free mobile app
I reinstalled stock Nextel aka Mexican retail and no update a available.
Here's the screenshot of the about screen.

Sent from my LG-D850 using XDA Free mobile app
So I decided to upgrade the phone, not realizing it wouldn't work with my phone already being rooted. My phone failed to install the update, something about signature invalid. It then proceeded to continually boot up normally, wait 15 seconds, then reboot and try to install the update again. I couldn't get it to start up normally.
I finally was able to boot up into CWM recovery and wipe the /cache and dalvik partitions, which seemed to delete that update .zip file, wherever it was.
Anyways, i'm curious what this update is, but I don't want to brick my phone trying to update it. Is there a way to install this update if my phone's rooted? What about CWM's Signature Check feature, can I enable that, then install the .zip file (assuming I can find it) from within CWM?
Thanks

If your boot loader is unlocked, no issues at all... just clean flash stock via fastboot (including stock recovery) and try updating....
Well, I had my atrix hd without no use since I switched to the LG G2 so I gave it a shot.
I restored it to stock through fastboot, the updated appeared and its 18mb only. Downloaded installed and still 4.1.2

Well, I restored the phone manually through fastboot skipping some files and just flashing the important (system, boot, etc) and its working again.
If you want me to do more testings just le me know.

I can't flash custom ROMs to my AT&T nexus 6??

I've tried multiple times to flash cyanogenmod 12 to my nexus, but it fails every time. I'm running with TWRP custom recovery, and have tried Flashify as well . I have also tried to do it using my Mac (hate rains down) but to no avail. Am I doing something wrong? Or does it have to do with it being carrier locked? Please help.

why would it have anything to do with it being carrier locked??? my guess is that you are doing something wrong. ok, you want to download the whole rom to your phone, and gapps. then boot into your recovery, where you want the wipe menu. chose advanced , then wipe your system and user data. dont wipe anything else, you do not want to wipe your storage. nownow, go back to the main menu, and chose to instal. now flash the rom, then the gapps, then reboot. and thats all.

Wiping phone and flashing with stock Pie?

My wife's phone has been so slow and laggy after upgrading to Pie. Is there an easy way to wipe the phone and install a fresh copy of Pie for this phone? Or can it go back to the stock Oreo too?
If you go back to Oreo you will loose your Wifi/mobile connection as long as you're on this version.
There is no need to flash a new firmware for a better performance. A factory/hard reset is enough.
