Many of you probably heard that T-Mobile has begun rollin’ out Android 5.1.1 already to many T-Mobile S6 Edge SM-G925T users.
Well, one word of caution, the new Android 5.1.1 firmware locks your bootloaders. But this isn’t a permanent lock from what we are hearing, you may be able to unlock it.
But if you are rooted already, you don’t have to take the dangerous route anyways, just go ahead and flash stock ROM. I’ve been running this all day and Android 5.1.1 seems like it’s a bit faster but Antutu benchmarks tell a different story as I was only able to score around 50K. I am not exactly sure what’s going on but you can always backup your ROM and restore back to Android 5.0.2 if you don’t like it or if you have problems.
To install the Android 5.1.1 stock ROM, make sure to follow these instructions: (You can also watch the latter part of the video above as I walk you through TWRP recovery and installation.)
If you need root or you want to go back to Android 5.0.2, simply reboot into TWRP recovery and restore your backup. If you forgot to make a backup ROM, you can also download Android 5.0.2 stock rooted ROM on our S6 Edge Stock ROMs page. But you will have to do a factory reset if you are going back to Android 5.0.2 from Android 5.1.1 as it will mess up your data partition so please MAKE A BACKUP ROM if you want to keep your settings and not start over from beginning.
