[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Its not a good thing for your IMEI to be accessed by anyone other than you and your service provider, that information can be used to clone your device or even steal your service and put it on another device.

And I don't drink alcohol.
[General Questions and Answers] Gunx3r4:
What do you mean by steal my service and put it on another device ? Does that mean someone can steal my Sim service and for example have access to my incoming messages ?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Exactly what I said, they can steal your service and receive your calls and messages or they can activate another device and kill yours.

Try searching for things that people tell you about so can understand it instead of asking every little question, that is not what we are here for, this is not our job, we do this in our free time. We are here to HELP you find your answers, not to hand them all to you without you doing some searching for yourself.
[General Questions and Answers] Gunx3r4:
Is there any way I can re-generate a new IMEI for my Android after I have a root access ?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Why would you need to? Your device is activated and recognized by your network with your IMEI that you have, changing it would kill your service.

If it were that easy then no one would have to clone a device or steal an IMEI if they could just generate one and use it. Stop and think. You need to do some research to understand things better.

Stop making a mountain out of a molehill, if it were that risky to root a device then there wouldn't be so many people doing it.
[General Questions and Answers] Gunx3r4:
I just see a lot of risk involved with it and I don't like someone to have my IMEI numbers especially if it goes to UNKNOWN SERVERs SOMEWHERE IN CHINA.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
It comes down to this, if you want to root then use the tool and just go through everything manually yourself to make sure the things you don't want are removed, using tools that "automatically" find and remove malware may not be as thorough as doing it manually.

If you don't trust it then don't use it.

That simple.
[General Questions and Answers] Gunx3r4:
Is there any way I will know if someone uses my IMEI for example to receive my messages/calls ? Will my phone in this case would get blacklisted or something ? I'm just curious from the security stand point in this case.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you make sure to remove anything that the rooting tool sneaks in then it won't matter.

Make a choice dude:

Root it then do what has to be done to remove the risky stuff that it might install.

OR

Don't root it and forget about it.

Stop with the "I'm scared to do it" questions. You're stressing too much over something that rarely happens.

For the last time just go do some researching to understand the TINY risk and how to safeguard against it. Geez just go look and read. Its ridiculous to tie up pages of this thread just to make you feel better. I now regret even trying to help you because you're killing me with questions I've already answered, I've had to repeat myself and I've had to explain everything to you over and over when you should have gotten it the first time and if you didn't then you should get familiar with how to use a Google search to find the info you need to understand what I told you instead of running in circles.

CM13 should have root after flashing, it will still have superSU or it will have CMs integrated root manager.

Questions about Flashing ROMs

1.) Do I really need to unlock the "bootloader" on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 before I could flash Custom ROMs?

2.) Does rooting my device, also unlocks the bootloader on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1?

3.) What happens if my computer suddenly powers off due to blackout/brownout while my device is Flashing a ROM or is Unlocking the Bootloader while connected to the computer, and what can I do to save my device?

4.) Am I still using the Stock ROM after I rooted my Android device through Odin?

I see, thanks a lot for that. How do I install SuperSu if I need to? And does this root access from developers option give the same root as in other devices that root through flashing SuperSu?
[General Questions and Answers] Cyanandroid:
u can istall super su app from playstore it may prompt u to update binaries then u will have to do that in order to get proper root access...

yes ut gives same root access as in other devices...

[General Questions and Answers] Cyanandroid:
if u are using a custom recovery like cwm or twrp then go for twrp/cwm option...

otherwise go for normal...
[General Questions and Answers] -jane-:
I tried flashing the SuperSu zip before and it made my device loop the CM boot animation. The CM boot animation is playing now after I updated the binary through TWRP, will it eventually end or do I have to somehow fix my device again? Also, do I have to completely reset my device, meaning I will lose all my apps etc? The animation doesn't usually take this long, I'm quite worried :(
[General Questions and Answers] Cyanandroid:
if the bootloop does not ends then try to flash the latest version of the su...

if that does not works then try to flash any other version...

btw if ur root was working properly without the superuser app then there was no need to install it...
[General Questions and Answers] -jane-:
ok, thank you very much for your help and sorry for my ignorance and stupidity :( I'll reflash CM13 now and be happy with the in built root. thanks !

edit: just read that supersu doesn't work well with CM13

[General Questions and Answers] limjh16:
1. yes

2. you need to unlock bootloader before rooting, at least thats how I do it. idk if theres a workaround here.

3. that'll be unfortunate, I never experienced it before. Try to take all precautions (make sure your computer has enough battery if its a laptop)

4. Yes

5. It probably is unlocked unless you bought from US telcos.

when I Tried to install xposed framework sdk21 via TWRP on my zenfone 5 lollipop 5.0, it says something like => cp error: no space left on device.. What should I do ?
[General Questions and Answers] Giovix92:
Free space on /system partition, such as deleting bloatware apps that are wasting your space.

1. Check how much space you have left in your device.

[General Questions and Answers] CrimsonBloodfang:
Guys, I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5100, ROOTED and I would want to Flash Custom ROMs like CyanogenMod in the near future. But I found out that when Flashing ROMs, the device's bootloader should be unlocked. I am now on a journey to find a way to unlock bootloader on my device and I heard that the bootloader on Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 is probably already unlocked but no matter how hard I search, the specific answer just wont appear. So is this true? How did you Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 users flash your roms, did you do it with unlocked bootloader? I just need a specific and guaranteed answer to this question and I'm good to go.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
My point was that either way you'll still have root and you'll still have a root manager whether it be the CM13 integrated or superSU, they do the same thing.

Why are specifically concerned with superSU? The integrated root should work fine without superSU, superSU doesn't work real well with CM13, that's why they built it with its own integrated root. If you set root access in developer options to apps and adb and root is working fine then don't worry about superSU.
[General Questions and Answers] Giovix92:
RAM isn't needed atm. Only internal storage. Can you check the free space on /system partition only? I have understand that /data has 6,37GB of free space... Ok, so, follow this steps:

1: Download DiskUsage from Play store (The icon is an SD Card Green)

2: Open it, and select [For root users]

3: Select /system

4: Send me a screenshot of the app

;) :))
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yes you must unlock bootloader to flash custom ROMs, you've obviously read that already so stop looking for a way to get by without doing it.

No, rooting does not unlock bootloader.

If you lose power while flashing it will brick your device, if it still boots to recovery or download mode after that then you can save it, if not then its dead.

If you root and don't flash another ROM then yes you'll still be on stock.

False, flashing ROMs only affects uncritical partitions (system and kernel mainly)

This statement only counts for exceptions like flashing a boot loader. No need to scare the crap out of users :)
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
When flashing in Odin(I mentioned Odin because they have a Samsung device and they asked about flashing while connected to PC, this isn't a problem when flashing a custom .tar with only system, cache and data partitions but it is a problem when flashing full firmware) and its interrupted then the OS isn't complete and the device won't boot, but if still able to boot to recovery or download mode then it is easily recovered. Also, I'd imagine losing connection while unlocking bootloader wouldn't go so well.

I can tell you that from experience when flashing in Odin and power or connection is lost, you get two results, you get either the "encountered an issue, connect to kies to recover" or something similar(can't remember because I haven't seen that screen in a long time), in this case flashing again in Odin will repair it. The other result is all you can boot to is download mode and again Odin will repair this.

So in a nutshell, what I posted is correct where Odin flashing is concerned, which is what their question was.

And I didn't say the device would be hard bricked, a hard brick won't boot to recovery or download mode. But there is always the chance of a hard brick, its not unheard of, rare, but it happens.
[General Questions and Answers] Giovix92:
The problem is that you haven't enough space in your /system partition... Try to move some apps from /system to /data (i explain more accurately: Move (with an app like titanium backup) the grows apps from /system to /data. If you do this, you can increase your free space into /system)
[General Questions and Answers] Tanmay777:
how to move by titanium backup ? I used link2sd bt it says partition needed.. How to do that in my zenfone 5 ?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Link2sd is designed to partition your extsdcard for you, you just have to do it right, find instructions for using link2sd, its not difficult. Remember, you're only partitioning the extsdcard, not the phone itself.

Galaxy S6 G920F 5.1.1 Stock Rom ROOT/UNIKERNEL

hi. i have an s6 g920f.

I have rooted it with odin 10, TWRP 3.0 then flashed SuperSU systemless BETA.

the root works. As long as reboot isnt checked in odin and self power down then self boot straight into twrp recovery.

What I want too know is what is the difference in the root compared to rooting with unikernel?

Most custom rom threads (if not all) for the galaxy s6 g920f on 5.1.1 say use unikernel to root then proceed as follows.

Why cant I just root as I have and proceed as follows.

many thanks.

sorry if it turns out to be a dumb question.
[General Questions and Answers] plegdroid:
Evening Matey, not at all a dumb question ☕?

When 5.1.1 was first released the only way to get root on certain devices was root by injecting root with a modified kernel, since then Chainfire found another way of obtaining root access. Could be the guides your reading were wrote before the newer way to get root was found ,and the OP was just never updated to reflect it.

[General Questions and Answers] cwhiatt:
I would also suggest that before you backup via TWRP or Flash a custom ROM you might want to install Titanium Backup and backup all of your current apps. This way you can easily retrieve them once you've installed your custom ROM.

Additional, as an extra thought though, any of the rom threads that state to flash unikernal first, I'd double check to see if the rom ships with a kernel included within the rom or not, would be extremely odd if it didn't ship with but strange thinks can always happen.?☕

[General Questions and Answers] JimTimmler:
Because the integrated root does not work fine for a lot of my apps which need root access. But these apps work perfectly with superSU. Otherwise I wouldn't care about superSU.

So, still the question: Does superSU survive a dirty flash of CM13 nightlies?
[General Questions and Answers] jimbomodder:
In most cases yes, it does survive

Sent from my GT-I9505
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If your ROM doesn't have superSU in its system then no it won't survive because the system partition gets formatted before flashing the new system, dirty flashing or not has nothing to do with it, dirty flashing only leaves data untouched and doesn't effect system one way or the other.

If you want to keep superSU then you'll have to install it via flashing superSU.zip in recovery or installing from playstore but superSU doesn't play well with MM on a lot of devices.

[General Questions and Answers] JimTimmler:
:)

Sooo... jimbomodder says it survives, you say it does not. Any third opinions? Just kidding, think I just have to try it out this evening. It is not a big problem, but I kind of hate to flash and flash again and again and again. Yesterday I found out how to keep xposed during CM13 dirty flash and I hoped that I do not have to flash superSU again after every CM13 flash.

It is all just about me being lazy, because CyanDelta flashes automatically and I have to do nothing more. But in case of xposed I always had to go into recovery after CM13 flash and flash xposed again and it always takes huge amounts of time because I always wipe dalvik and cache again resulting in a looong boot. So I was really hoping that I don't have to flash superSU every day.

By the way, the latest beta runs great with latest CM13 nightly on S3 i9300.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Typically superSU is located in system/app folder in custom ROMs. That means that the new system replaces the old system, if the new system doesn't have superSU in system/app folder then you won't have it after flashing. If superSU were installed to user partition(don't know why anyone would have it like that) then it would survive a dirty flash but I'm pretty sure you have superSU in system/app folder in your current ROM.

Thank you. I am a noob and do not understand much about that, but I think you are right and wrong at the same time, because the latest superSU betas come with a "system-less" mode. I have no prove (and I can be terribly wrong) but I guess it could mean that it is not installed in the system folder and so it may survive. Of cause I can be wrong because I am totally new to this stuff (startet rooting and installing CM just two weeks ago).

I haven't used anything systemless yet so I'm not familiar with the ins and outs of it. It makes sense that it would survive if systemless.
