Hi Guys,
This is my first post here, I'm really hoping someone can help.
I bought a cheap Galaxy S6 to use for playing about with, nothing serious.
It is loaded with a very strange, custom ROM I have never seen before by Gem Flash?
alps.kk1.mp6.v1
https://firmware.gem-flash.com/index.php?a=browse&b=file-info&id=2161
It seems to be completely unusable, opens links to surveys, appears to be full of malware and viruses, sometimes reboots without any interaction from myself.
Now the strangest thing is, when I look at the phone storage, it is showing roughly 60gb in total however when I connect it to my laptop to try and move over the stock firmware and ROM, Windows only shows 1gb internal storage no matter what I try.
Here's what I've tried so far:
1) Reset to factory settings on the phone via Settings
2) Reset to factory settings from recovery
3) Tried to connect via adb and wipe everything
Because the stock Samsung ROM is 1.6b compressed and the device is only showing 1gb total space in Windows I cannot for the life of me move the file over to the phone.
Once the file is on there, I should be able to install it from the bootloader in recovery.
Please can anyone help or suggest what I can do?
I'm determined not to be beaten by this thing!
Thanks and regards
Matt
