Install CWM 6 Recovery On Samsung Galaxy Note Edge N915K & N915S

Galaxy Note Edge was Samsung’s most unique device ever having its display curved and extended towards right. The device sports top-notch specifications, similar to that of the Galaxy Note 4. On the front we have a 5.7-inch QHD display with 524 ppi and  2560 x 1440 pixels resolution. Samsung used Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 805 Quad Core CPU clocked at 2.7 GHz to power this device up, Adreno 420 GPU is accompanying this CPU. A RAM of 3GB can be found inside while 32 GB internal storage is there as well. At the back, we have a 16 MP shooter and a 3.7 MP shooter can be found on the front. The Note Edge runs on Android 4.4.4 KitKat out of the box.

It took quite a while for Samsung to roll this device in around the world and there still is a number of countries waiting for it. Korean users happen to be lucky one in this regard as they’ve already received two variants SM-N915K and SM-N915S for their region. The device also looks like to be caught up by some developers and we are seeing the custom stuff coming up slowly. To begin with flashing tweaking and playing around with your device, you will need a custom recovery and XDA senior member Chenglu seems to be pretty fast in this regard as he has already compiled up ClockworkMod recovery for various variants of the Galaxy Note Edge, and the Korean users also happen to be lucky as there two variants SM-N915K and SM-N915S have also received this recovery.

If you’ve already got your hands on any of these two variants and now you’re looking for a method to install the CWM recovery, you might have spotted the right place to do so. In the proceeding guide, we are going to install this CWM 6.0.5.1 recovery on our beloved Korean Samsung Galaxy Note Edge SM-N915K & SM-N915S using Samsung’s flashtool Odin3. Let’s go through some early preps and then begin with the installation.

Early Preparations:

1. This guide is only for the Galaxy Note Edge SM-N915K & SM-N915S (Korean). Flashing these files on any other device will result in bricking it. It is recommended not to go ahead if your device model number doesn’t match with the ones listed here.

2. Your phone’s battery must be charged at least over 60%. In case your phone goes dead during the flashing process, it might result in bricking it. Charge your device before you proceed.

3. Always use OEM data cable to establish connection between your phone and your computer. Using third party data cables might cause connection issues.

4.While using Odin3, turn off Samsung Kies, Windows Firewall and any Antivirus software if you’re using.

5. It is always recommended to backup your important data before you flash anything on your device. You may backup using the following guides on our site.

Disclaimer: The methods involved in flashing custom recoveries, ROMs and rooting your phone are highly custom and may result in bricking your device, and has nothing to do with Google or the device manufacturer that is SAMSUNG in our case. Also rooting your device will void its warranty and you will be no longer eligible for any kind of free device services by the manufacturers/warranty providers.
