These are the instructions to install Cyanogen Recovery on Samsung Galaxy S6 Flat smartphones with the model number G920S using the Odin flash tool and a computer.
REQUIREMENTS
- You must have a Windows PC to flash this Cyanogen recovery for your S6 Flat device or else the Odin flash tool will not flash the file on your device.
- You must have the Samsung Galaxy S6 Flat variant with the model number G920S to use this guide.
BEFORE WE BEGIN
- Download and install the Samsung USB Driver on the computer from our Drivers page. You’ll find the Samsung name when you scroll down the list. Those who cannot get the Samsung USB Drivers to install during their time of visit can download the universal ADB Drivers instead.
- You will need to unlock the hidden Developer Options menu on your Sammy S6 Flat if that is not done already. You may do that now by tapping on the Menu > Settings > About Device. Now just tap over where it says the Build Number seven times and it will say you are now using the S6 Flat as a developer.
- Turn on the USB Debugging option from the Developer Options menu by tapping on the Menu > Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging Mode.
