[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popOLOL:
My gf wants to do this semi dubious plan and am I cuious to see if it will work.

1. Sign up for Verizon on a two year contract and get the s5 for 1 cent on Amazon

2. Quickly switch to T-Mobile and have them pay your termination fee.

3. Have Verizon unlock your out of contract phone

4. Once in T-Mobile quit and switch to Cricket Wirless

5. Unlimited Data for 35 dollars and two S5's for 2 cents

Very sneaky now the real question would it work. My doubt is that Verizon wont just let you pay the termination fee and get away with the 1 cent. However it does make sense since there was no theoretical"balance" on the phone

PS: My gf is really smart(and hot)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahent:
Most of those deals won't pay your termination fees until you have had a billing cycle or 2 with them. Double check the small print. Historically when I got fees or phones paid for by carriers or even rebates, it takes a billing cycle or 2 before they apply them.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] universe92:
Hi I bought the N910C for At&t, after doing some research online I know that asu is usually dbm+140. It is accurate on my old GS4 it getting -100dbm 40asu. On the other hand my note 4 is getting weird numbers like -101dbm 6asu and the difference is 95 and not constant.

I am worried if I got a defect phone or it how N910C works on antenna formulas. Please help I am debating whether should I return the phone...:(

thanks
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdm9mm:
I observed the same readings... but I had no problem with downloads and uploads...
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .IC3M4N.:
-83 TO -87 dBm AND 15ASU ...on LTE . I am guessing it all comes down to wich tower your phone is connected, distance from it, load...etc I really do not think your readings are subject to change of device., but it never hurts to test another phone on the same carrier and see what are the signal readings and if it is a constant reading. Good luck :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] universe92:
Yeah so I'm guessing this is the type of reading from N910C? As I have tried testing out S4 in same room same band, on LTE:14 it getting 100/40, and my Note 4 910c getting the other way around just confuses me haha...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] beats4x:
So, this is my first Samsung device, longtime HTC user. I was cocky and thought I could go ahead and delete system apps that I thought were safe to delete. Apparently, I was sorely mistaken.

I am now caught in a bootloop. Luckily for me, I can get into the system and do a few things before it reboots. I was unable to fing factory images for the s6 edge, so, I have another idea, but I need someone's help.

I was thinking if someone could make a backup using titanium backup of all their system apps and share it with me, I would attempt to run the restore option in TiBu to remedy the issue. If anyone could do this, or has a better idea, let me know. Thanks in advance, and I apologize for needing something so trivial (smh).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
if you can get into the settings menu and do a factory reset, that would fix it..

also, try calling t mobile, and ask tech support how you can boot into recovery, and there should also be a factory reset choice in there..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] beats4x:
I've done that, the phone simply reboots itself. When I try to boot into recovery, I don't get that distorted green/white screen everyone else does, it flashes real quick then goes dark, nothing more. I've tried the vol- 4 times, power, vol- 7 times power, wait, power combo as well, it does not factory reset my device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
I would still call t mobile and ask them how to actually boot into recovery.

There has to be a way to do it; I would turn the phone off completely, then boot into recovery using the method t mobile suggests..

EDIT: read this http://www.androidexplained.com/galaxy-s6-recovery-mode/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] beats4x:
I really appreciate your help in trying to get me into recovery, but I have tried everything. I've done the release after the buttons stop blinking, don't release until you see blue text (which I never do, there is never blue text at the top of my screen). I also work for T-Mobile, I have access to the files customer care would read you if you called in. I am at work right now lol.

Honestly, all I need is a zipped titanium backup of system apps (just the app, no data) that I can get onto the phone and try and restore.

I don't mean to sound rude, but this isn't my first rodeo. I've been attempting to get a logcat to identify which error is causing the device to crash so I can ask for just that one app (I can't get the log though, always hangs on waiting for device, even though I can execute other adb commands). All I need is that TiBu copy.

Edit: Wow, I finally got it to factory reset. I'm not sure why it didn't work before. I tried the same thing countless times with no success, but I finally got it.

Again, I apologize if I sounded rude earlier. I really didn't mean to be.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wase4711:
not rude at all bro, as you know, there are so many different levels of "knowledge" here, that I try to use the lowest common denominator when helping folks out, but you obviously know what you are doing!

Glad to hear you got to factory reset menu; that should fix you right back up!:good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] SuperSport:
I was in the same boat as you. Rooted, removed system apps, got back to Recovery Screen, but a Factory Restore did not bring back the apps that were removed. Tried Kies, but it would not work last night. As of this afternoon, Kies will now work. Just did it a few minutes ago.

Use the "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization" option. You'll need the Model Name and Serial Number, both of which can be found on the Box, or in the Settings menu if you can get there.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navigates:
you could get them on ebay. the key is to ask what is the serial. Its hard but a few give the serial and with that you can find out if its rootable. Did you find a few or are you still looking for it. If you did buy three. would you sell any one of them for the community?

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danknasty:
I actually ordered like four a week ago and they were all unrootable so I basically gave up hope at that point but now seems like they are back.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arunningpir8:
There's your problem...you need to actually pick yourself up and walk into a store to get them :P

Seriously, what "normal" people think of going to a staples to buy something like a fire tv? That's why there are so many rootable units on the shelves there :P
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danknasty:

Id rather pay slightly more to get a rootable sealed one vs someone else doing it for me. I just got one from the person in the link above.

The earlier link that I had purchased was a bad one as it seems someone had updated the firmware and repackaged it. The box came opened with plastic.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shutterslaps:
ah, I agree. I'd rather have one that was rootable as well. I made the mistake of ordering one off of amazon, and it the software was way too new. I returned it and set out for another AFTV. I don't why I didn't pick up a rootable one instead of one that was already rooted.

Yesterday I went into the Navy Exchange on the base I work at, and saw they finally put out AFTV's. I whipped out my phone and checked all of the serial numbers on the ones on the shelf. BOOM! ALL of them were rootable. I picked up three of them right away. I'll probably go back and buy more soon. They all come with 51.1.0.1_user_510055620.

I'm in the same boat right now. It seems like the new updates are providing much of the same experience that rooted boxes originally had. Besides sixaxis and rbox's xposed module, I really don't utilize any of the advantages of a rooted unit over a stock one..

I thought rbox released the latest firmware pre-rooted?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navigates:
There are fundamental benefits to rooting and rBox has the latest one rooted. Its really simple to keep up with the rooted versions specially when you have the boot menu with recovery installed. For starters the latest version still does not allow ntfs mounts on usb. Then again remote quick support needs root for screen sharing remote as that is imperative if you build boxes for family and friends and if they need any software help.

I always land up helping my parents remotely. I have two sessions connected through teamviewer. one to the firetv and one on the pc and I'm golden. All tweaks updates and fixes work perfectly. except rom/firmware updates.

My screen on my S6 has scratched really really easy, only had a few days and there is a one inch very deep scratch on the screen. in all the years I've had a phone I've never scratched a phone so badly as this. The worsted thing is i have no idea how it happened. had my S5 for about 18 months with not one single mark or anything to the phone screen
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] jewillia:
Sorry to hear about the deep scratch. I don't have a screen protector on mine yet, though I just received the BodyGuardz Ultra Tough. I've been careful, but I'm not using a case or screen protector at all currently and have just been putting it in my pocket thus far. I would say scratches were much easier to put on my previous phone, which was the crusty old S3.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] stureiney:
OP, I think that the screen can and will scratch somewhat easily. I think that if you don't want to take extra precautions with the phone on a day-to-day basis, I would recommend getting a screen protector and/or a case. These just allow you to be a little more clumsy and not have any repercussions. (or fewer repercussions.)

[Galaxy S6 Accessories] neotekz:
i've had the phone since launch and been using it without screen protector and have not notice any scratches at all. Im not careful with my phone too. Put it in my pocket with keys and change regularly and put it screen down, since the camera makes the phone slippery when it's on smooth uneven surfaces. With previous phones, nexus 4 and 5, they would have some micro scratches by now. I dont get this obsession over getting scratches on a screen that are not noticeable when the screen is on. You are only going to have this phone for a year or two so i dont see what the big deal is.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] PrizeFightLover:
I got a small scratch after using the phone for one day. Probably due to a grain of sand in my pocket or something like that. I'm planning on getting a screen protector not only to prevent further scratching, but also to ensure the current scratch won't be visible to the naked eye. Albeit knowing that there already is a scratch truly grinds my gear.

[Galaxy S6 Accessories] stureiney:
Thank you for your opinion-- do you have a brand that you recommend? I think we all know that glass screen protectors are the way to go, but it's a matter of which company you buy from that determines the success or failure of the screen protector.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] natec806:
I'm kind of new to rooting and flashing. But I was wondering how can I update my rooted at&t m8 4.4.4 (s-on) to the new lollipop update and stay rooted? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
In short, you can't (update by official means and stay rooted). But its pretty easy to update, then just root again.

Couple options:

1) To OTA, you need stock ROM and stock recovery. Stock ROM means root is okay, but no system files can be missing or altered by you using the root permission (such as removing bloatware, frozen apps, added apps, etc.). You either need to put them back to stock, or revert to a stock nandroid of flash the stock 4.4.4 AT&T ROM. Then you need to find the stock recovery, flash it to the phone. At that time you can go into setting and look for the update. Unlocked bootloader is okay to OTA.

After the LP OTA installs, flash TWRP back to the phone and flash latest SuperSU to root again.

2) Another way, is to relock the bootloader and install the Lollipop RUU with your phone connected to a PC. RUU will then just update the phone to a stock LP image. This method is probably easier than tracking down the stock ROM and recovery, and getting them back on the phone. But the downside is that your data will be wiped by the RUU. Plus you have the added steps of relocking the bootloader; than unlocking again after the RUU. But I like RUU better as its a cleaner install than OTA and keeping user data (eliminates chance of random bugs caused by migrating user data).

After RUU, just flash TWRP and root again, same is the last part of method #1 above.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] natec806:
Thanks redpoint73. Worked liked a charm
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] DanGeorges:
Redpoint -

I used the RUU to update, and now I can't get the SU Binary to update.

I think my backup of the app is messing things up. I installed the latest via zip file (TWRP), and am not really rooted yet.

I'm trying a clean install (wiped cache, dalvik), so I'll see if I can get rid of the original SU app I had installed (chainfire).

Edit: Still can't get rid of SU app.

Any ideas?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Latest being what number? I would suggest SuperSU 2.46.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] DanGeorges:
That was, indeed, my problem. I was being directed to an older version of SuperSU update.zip.

Once i grabbed the REAL latest version, it worked like a charm!

Thanks, Redpoint.
