Flash Android 5.1.1 G920FXXU2COH2 Lollipop on Galaxy S6 G920

Do you think that your Galaxy S6 G920 is ready for a change? I bet that you are thinking of the latest Android 5.1.1 G920FXXU2COH2 Lollipop and here I am to help you all the way. You will have to flash the firmware file using Odin and the procedure is not all a complicated one, but don’t forget that there are some key aspects to know before performing the manual installation:

First of all, you have to use this guide only for the Samsung Galaxy S6 International version, so check the model number of your phone under Settings> About Phone. The version of your phone has to be SM – G920F or you have to stop here.

You must also back up your data, just to be on the safe side; if your phone is running Stock Android, then you will not lose any data, but it is always better to be careful. Do not forget to enable USB Debugging on your phone from its Developer Options menu, so carefully follow these steps. If you can’t find the Developer Options, you have to enter into Settings> About Phone and tap 7 times on the Build Number section. Next, go back to Settings, open Developer Options and enable the USB Debugging option. The device should have at least 60 percent battery power and don’t forget that the USB drivers must be installed on the computer.

Also accept the fact that if you have rooted your device, you can apply the steps from this guide, but you will be losing root access. And the same thing will happen with any custom Recovery that you might have installed as this will be replaced with a stock Recovery.
