[1]A new update is rolling out over the air for the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge with the build number G925VVRU4BOK7. It’s another firmware version based on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop and it comes with WiFi calling support.
REQUIREMENTS
- Apply these steps on the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge from Verizon only. The Verizon variant comes with the model number SM-G925V. Head to the Menu > Settings > About Device to check that yours matches up.
BEFORE WE BEGIN
- You must have a Window PC to follow this guide. You cannot run the Odin flashing tool on a different operating system.
- Install the Samsung USB Drivers on your Windows PC so you can get your Galaxy S6 Edge talking to the computer and it’s programs.
- Make sure you have the USB Debugging Mode enabled on your S6 Edge by navigating to the Menu > Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging Mode. Toggle the USB Debugging Mode back off again after you are finished so it isn’t on for no reason later.
- Galaxy S6 Edge owners with root access on their devices will find this guide breaks that root once you flash the official firmware file on your device. That means you will no longer have root access on your device.
- If you have a rooted Galaxy S6 Edge and would like to return back to the stock ROM, flashing a new ROM manually using the guide below is the best way. Do not accept any OTA notification on your Samsung device if i’s rooted.

- Click the AP or the PDA button you can see from the Odin user-interface.
- Browse the desktop for the G925VVRU4BOK7 tar.md5 file.
- Click the Start button without changing Odin’s default settings.

Those of you who get a fail message, or are unable to flash the stock ROM on the device should check to see if the ID: COM port is working. If you do see the ID: COM port change color after connecting your device, that means the USB drivers are working for your S6 Edge. No color means you should install the drivers one more time. Those of you who do see color and need troubleshooting help, should try installing a different Odin number version.
