G920W8VLS6DRA1 is Android 7.0 (Nougat) firmware for Samsung Galaxy S6, released for Canada (BMC, BWA, ESK, FMC, GLW, KDO, MTA, RWC, TLS, VMC, VTR, XAC). Samsung built it on 2018-01-17.

No. A newer build for SM-G920W8 is available: G920W8VLU6DVG1. Install it instead of G920W8VLS6DRA1 unless you need this exact version. The previous build was G920W8VLS5DQK1.

Download the package for your region (CSC) and unzip it. In Odin, load each file into the slot with the same name: BL, AP, CP (if the package has one) and CSC, or HOME_CSC to keep your data. Odin checks the built-in checksum of every .tar.md5 file before flashing. The download is 2.239 GiB; keep about twice that free on the computer to unzip it. The Samsung Galaxy S6 must be on bootloader binary 6 or lower.

This build uses bootloader binary 6. It can be flashed on a Samsung Galaxy S6 running binary 6 or lower; if the device already has a higher binary, Odin stops with "SW REV CHECK FAIL". 4 other builds of this model use the same binary, so you can switch between them in both directions.
