[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fire3element:
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I have a launch day Retail Note 3. Build date is Nov. 2013. (may be important info considering past issues with reception and launch models)

Baseband:

MJE

Recovery:

Safestrap v3.71 using TWRP v2.6.3.1

Rom:

Official VZW MJE rooted (Stock slot)

Hyperdrive Rom build RLS7 (slot 1) This is my main/daily ROM

Neon ROM 3rd Edition version 5

Radio:

Stock MJE

All info below is for MJE and HD RLS7 (keep in mind I have not personally used newer basebands to compare with)

PROS:

-Well built rom, lots of features, lots of options.

-Pretty good battery life (I also use a ZeroLemon 10,000 mah battery, but usage on my stock battery is pretty good also)

-Flashlight options for lock screen (important feature for me). Screen off hold volume up or lock screen widgit.

-Xposed

-Data traffic monitor in the status bar (important feature for me)

-Decent ROM speed (after 1 yr of use) more on this in CONS

-Overall, very well built

-Very few complete crashes, resulting in a reboot

CONS:

-ROM Speed issues (getting a 0.4 second lag almost every 18sec) System unresponsive and screen jerks.

-Radio signal drops out constantly, 4g to 3g (same across all ROM slots)

-No XLTE Support (my biggest issue)

-Slow boot up time. Around 55sec. Used to be down to 30sec

-Random bugs and crashes. SAPedometerSettingProvider always crashes on boot no matter what I do. Causing slow boot up time?

-Slow performance vs other phones I have. Moto G on 4.4.4 and S4mini on 4.4.2

The 4 things that are the biggest concern for me are:

-Signal issue

-No XLTE

-Performace vs other devices on 4.4

-The 0.4sec lag

I want to at least update to NC4, but do not want to be stuck with not being able to go back. Especially if the signal issue is worse.

Main goal is XLTE support
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] fitzumwell:
After reading all the threads about rooting the new S6 (technically the inability to root) and all the talk about unlocking, I am not quite clear on if there is a round-about way to get root. Can I: unlock my phone, put in another carriers SIM (like T-Mobile) and with that SIM in root the phone? Is it possible to roll back the operating system back to one that does have a vulnerability to allow root.

What makes AT&T version unable to root when it runs the same operating system as T-Mobile (I am assuming they run the same operating system). Why is it so definitive that there won't be a root for this phone?

I am have read articles, but I want to hear a dumbed-down, to the point explanation from people who understand how this works.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] corythug:
On the att model the bootloader is locked down tight whereas on tmo it can be unlocked. That is the issue. The things you mentioned won't work unfortunately.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] jimmiekain:
You're asking a few different questions so i will try to answer them as best I can.

1st things 1st. All versions of the GS6 can be rooted. However, the AT&T and Verizon versions have locked bootloaders which mean that as of right now, there is no way to flash a custom recovery making it impossible flash roms. Having a rooted phone with a locked bootloader is fine as you can still install apps that require root it really just means no custom recovery and no custom roms.

The other thing about using a different sim card is called SIM UNLOCKING or carrier unlocking. This is something that the original carrier should do for you for free once you've paid the device off and do not owe anything on it. Also, most carriers like T-Mobile will not unlock it for you until you've used the phone on their network for at least 40 days (dont quote me on that, its 40 give or take 5 days)

So, to be clear its not rooting that allows you to use a foreign sim its SIM unlocking and this can be done for free by the carrier once you pay the phone off.

All versions of the GS6 can be rooted its just some even after you root will not be able install custom roms.

Hope this helps.

Also, if you are on at&t but dont wanna be stuck with a locked bootloader you may wanna consider buying a factory unlocked phone. They cost a little bit more but they are already unlocked so using T-Mobile or AT&T on most unlocked models is easy as changing the sim card. AND since they have unlocked bootloaders all you have to do is root it and you are free to install whatever custom rom you want.

Good luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] fitzumwell:
Thank you so much for clarifying that for me but that leaves me with more questions. So you are saying I can still root my ATT phone? I need root access for giving root privileges to other apps and not to flash custom roms. I want to be able to remove bloatware and tweak the performance of the phone. Is that a different kind of root? I rooted my GS4 with an app I put on the phone and not with Odin. Is that what I need to do again if I am not planning on modding my rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] jimmiekain:
So you are saying I can still root my ATT phone? YES BUT YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO INSTALL A CUSTOM RECOVERY BECAUSE THE BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED. WITHOUT A CUSTOM RECOVERY, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO INSTALL ROMS.

I need root access for giving root privileges to other apps and not to flash custom roms. YES AND NO, YOU NEED ROOT TO GIVE ROOT PRIVS TO OTHER APPS BUT ITS NOT ROOT THAT ALLOWS YOU TO INSTALL CUSTOM ROMS, ITS BOTH ROOT AND A CUSTOM BOOTLOADER.

I want to be able to remove bloatware and tweak the performance of the phone. YOU CAN DO THAT WITH ROOT. NO CUSTOM ROM REQUIRED.

Is that a different kind of root? THERE IS ONLY ONE KIND OF ROOT, THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO ROOT BUT THERE IS ONLY ONE KIND. EITHER YOU ARE ROOTED OR YOU ARE NOT.

I rooted my GS4 with an app I put on the phone and not with Odin. Is that what I need to do again if I am not planning on modding my rom? YOU CAN USE ODIN, YOU MAY ALSO BE ABLE TO DO IT USING THE APP METHOD BUT I DONT KNOW FOR SURE.

SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG TO RESPOND, I'VE BEEN SHOPPING AROUND FOR AN UNLOCKED GS6 MYSELF. ;)

Hope this helps.

Can you link me to a root method that doesn't trip Knox? I have the att S6
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] SilkyJohnson:
We don't have one yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] fitzumwell:
Is there a way to remove Knox so we can root?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] fitzumwell:
Your a Big Help

Thank you so much for explaining all that for me. I guess there aren't many people out there that want root without the expectation to flash their ROM. I will keep researching till I find a way to get root where I don't need to flash the ROM with it.:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] jimmiekain:
You can root without flashing a rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] fitzumwell:
How can that be done? Everyone says there is no point so noone is coding it? Am I missing something?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechyEngineer:
Hello!

When I downloaded Android Studio 1.1.0, everything worked fine. However now I'm worried that it might be broken even though I uninstalled it then reinstalled it.

First of all there is an odd 'New Project' tab asking me for gradle or java or griffin etc then asking me to enable a script template (A script opene with the main class).

But that isn't the real problem.

The real problen is in the file directory. As you know I should really have an App folder and the .ideas folder, but I only have the .ideas folder. I can't edit my project without my App folder! Please help!

Thanks in advance!

Hello. I have this code.

public String getId() throws RemoteException {
Parcel data = Parcel.obtain();
Parcel reply = Parcel.obtain();
String id;
try {
data.writeInterfaceToken("com.google.android.gms.ads.identifier.internal.IAdvertisingIdService");
binder.transact(1, data, reply, 0);
reply.readException();
id = reply.readString();
} finally {
reply.recycle();
data.recycle();
}
return id;
}

How i can hook " id = reply.readString();" when a don't know method name like "getId()". Thanks.

PS: Sorry for my bad English.
[Xposed General] ifynk:
Now i can hook "transact" method like this:

XposedHelpers.findAndHookMethod("android.os.BinderProxy", loadPackageParam.classLoader, "transact", int.class, Parcel.class, Parcel.class, int.class, new XC_MethodHook() {
protected void afterHookedMethod(XC_MethodHook.MethodHookParam param) throws Throwable {
super.afterHookedMethod(param);

IBinder binder = (IBinder) param.thisObject;

String interfaceBinder = binder.getInterfaceDescriptor();

if (interfaceBinder.equals("com.google.android.gms.ads.identifier.internal.IAdvertisingIdService")) {
// change result for readString
}
}
});

But i cant override "readString" result for Parcel (args[2]) object. How can i do this? Thanks.

[Moto 360] caseyatbt:
Yesterday morning I looked at my watch and found it was turned off. I restarted it and it had the wrong time and the date was 31. I changed watch faces to one that had the complete date and found it was Dec 31, 1999. Since then I have reset the watch 3 times and also, removed all the associated programs and started from scratch. I am now on Jan 1, 2000 and several hours off. I am not sure what else I can do to get it working correctly. The only installed apps are Android Wear and Moto Connect.
[Moto 360] Ramer:
The watch gets the time from your phone, have you checked that? Have you verified that you're connected via Bluetooth?
[Moto 360] caseyatbt:
Yes it says connected and it sends cards to the watch.
[Moto 360] Ramer:
Have you checked the date on your phone?
[Moto 360] caseyatbt:
Yes, the phone is fine.
[Moto 360] caseyatbt:
Finally, on the sixth uninstall, reset, and reload, it is ball to the correct time.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fraooke:
Hi all,

I've had 3 or 4 OTA updates on my LGG3 since I got it last year, one of the ones around 20h made the swipe to camera icon disappear. The one in the bottom right...

How do I get it back?

Also, how do I change volume down to launch a third party camera (XCam LG)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDeathy:
This is possibly due to the change in Android Lollipop's lock screen settings. If you see stock ROMs or vanilla Nexus, there isn't any lock screen widgets anymore either.

However, I've inspected the ROM packaging (at least for Cloudy's ROM), this code is still there, it just doesn't show up for some reason.

I'll let some other pro answer this...

Solution? Wait for v30-base from G4's LG UX 4.0 software, if not you can download third-party lock screen apps (i.e. WidgetLocker or HiLocker)

Did you ever find a solution for this? I'm having the same issue.

If someone can help me out I need a debrick image.

You need to be rooted and have busybox installed!

Simply run this command as root and upload the image to mega.

busybox dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/200MB.img bs=4096 count=50000

This will dump the first 200MB which includes bootloaders and such. No personal info, imei or other sensitive info will be contained in the dump. Greatly appreciate any help.

Thanks.

Thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] PinEpi:
Check post#12, [MENTION=6472127]Nyxerosoir[/MENTION] posted the debrick image in a dropbox link. Use Win32DiskImager to write the image in your SD card, note that the sd card will show like capacity of 90MB or less than that. Then place it in the phone and try yo get to ODIN with the phone connected to the PC. It will boot up and then go back to stock. You will have to do it a couple of times and I suggest to use a pit file for SM-G900A 16GB that you will find here (scroll down) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2737448

Instructions for W32DiskImager:

I fixed it by using a different SD card, make sure it is class 10 and 16GB, 32GB or 64GB.

-Download the debrick image from post#12

-Download and install Win32DiskImager

-Run win32diskimager and write 200MB.img to your SD card (note this will format your sdcard)

After finish put your Sdcard to your phone. Make sure you have battery more than 10% and boot to ODIN

If you need more info let me know!

Should have dug around a bit more before I got all screwed up..

Hey there guys.... Really hoping someone out there may be able to help me out.*

So... I recently moved up to Lollipop... Managed to keep root.. Running Alliance ROM 8.. Smoothe as butter.

I decided to check out flashing some of my old mods via the NCE Flasher / Safestrap method... was working great.

Then I flashed something it didn't agree with... Rom would'nt boot. This leaves me stuck in a functioning Safestrap Recovery using the NG3 Kernal.

Have tried flashing several roms in safestrap ... no go...

So here's where I'm at. I have flashed the stock recovery via Odin... It flashes fine, the reboot starts... get the splash screen,,,, boot image starts to go into motion.... then freezes.. screen goes black... little blue light stays lit... The end.

This is the short short version.. If you need any more info just let me know.

Hope I'm just missing something.
