So i should just flash over dual recovery with TWRP?

On a side note..... do you know why dual recovery was a requirement when rooting, instead of just TWRP?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rm83855:
I remember why.... it was a workaround for rooting without unlocking BL.

Can standalone TWRP be installed with a locked BL?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheTeslaCoil:
So your bootloader is locked?
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Ps volume down instead of up to goto twrp instead of Philz if you have dual recovery

Has anyone ran into this situation before? Any help would be greatly appreciated. My phone decided today that it wasn't going to work properly. When I boot the phone the OS itself is sluggish and inoperable. I want to just flash an RUU for convenience but getting my bootloader relocked is proving to be difficult. Thanks in advance!

Freeze Bloatware Apps with Titanium Backup on VZW S6 Edge

I posted a list of apps you can freeze with Titanium Backup on a rooted Verizon Galaxy S6 Edge -- and likely other versions as well -- . I'll update it as needed: http://blog.chadwikdavis.com/disable-freeze-bloatware-vzw-galaxy-s6-edge/ Haven't tried with Debloater but I expect you won't have issues there either with just those basic bloatware apps.

I'm nervous to disable too many things. Better to go with a bare-bones custom ROM than risk breaking an important service on your phone. If you're like me, you just want to optimize the speed, performance and battery life on your yearly investment in these mini-supercomputers.

Do the ANT apps affect the hardware heart-rate sensor or does it only disable the wireless antenna for wearable tech?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xstokerx:
I can confirm that heart rate monitor and finger print scanner work without ant+ on the custom rom im on anyways.

THIS DOES NOT UNLOCK YOUR PHONE!! ITS A HOTSPOT UNLOCK FOR THE SPRINT NOTE EDGE.. ITS MAY WORK FOR OTHER VARIANTS BUT I HAVENT TESTED ANYTHING BUT SPRINT PHONES.

Whats up ladies and gents. As we all know Sprint has release the lollipop version of android to our beloved Note Edge. And the question has been raised as to what we have and can do with lollipop. Xposed is still not yet available. So i put a list of things that can be done manually via Sqlite, Root Explorer etc. I am not a developer. I am merely a man who likes to tinker with my phone. XD

With that being said, if there is anyone who believe they can make a zip to make the process easier, by all means.. I still dont have the capabilities as of yet.

NON ROOT What's needed

1. Sprint Note Edge.

2. MSL Number. (Call Customer service and tell them you had issues activating...)

Spoiler content hidden.

Credits: idone: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2796994

ROOTED METHOD (With Terminal Emulator Type SU then type "getprop ril.MSL")

Whats needed:

SQlite Editor

Non-Rooted method

I followed the non-rooted method and lost data completely and "APN2 LTE internet," and "APN2 EHRPD internet," are no longer in the menu.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] z31k:
That's strange, i used this method on 15+ phones with no issues. Are you on the sprint variant? Are you on 5.0.1? If you still don't have data type ##72786# into the dialer pad and try again.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] trblsome9six:
With this method of unlocking could I bring my Note Edge to Verizon? I've been told by both Verizon and Sprint reps that this cannot be done, but I am leery of them for obvious reasons and based on what I've read online....which is that it might be possible.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] z31k:
It is possible.. just not conventional. Both verizon and sprint are cdma based, however they are on different spectrum. So, while you can activate it. Something will be broken. etc. Mms, data, sms.. i would just sell the phone and get a Verizon variant. I hear they have a developer edition?? XD

You can't... the bootloader is already flashed to lollipop. Unless you use the mobile odin method. However our devices arent supported.

[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] z31k:
You can always step into a sprint store and see if a rep would give it to you. But calling sprint and telling them you had issues with activating online usually does it.

Hey Z31k,

I first want to start off buy thanks you for helping us out in this situation, now that said, i found my way to that last step before reboot, however i dont know where to add "dun". Im Lost at this part, Can you please Assist me with this. would truly appreciate it. thanksss. Blesssss...
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] z31k:
Which method are you using? Root or non-root?
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] theratdude64:
*Rooted Method here*

When I navigate to the Carriers Table, the closest thing I see to APN2 Internet is just plain "APN"

What am I doing wrong? I'm not sure where to go from here. Do I have the wrong SQLite Editor? There's a paid one but I got a free one.

Screenshot of what I'm seeing at data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases

Telephony.db->Carriers

There is no APN2 LTE or APN2 EHRPD internet
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] thepiecesfit:
Those are just the field names you need to hit data. But I don't recommend using this SQLite app it had APN2 LTE not APN2 EHRPD internet on my note 4. When I made the change it screwed up my mobile data. Downloaded the SQLite by Speed Software the paid version from the other vendor and it worked great. Took me over 30 minutes to figure out how to get my mobile data back.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] z31k:
Agreed, spending 2 bucks on an app that will set you up with free unlimited H/S is a no Brainer. Once you buy that app, it should be smooth sailing.

But if you were to ever lose your data, dial ##72786# and it should reset to default.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] whoppe862005:
Thanks for this. Worked great with no issues.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] z31k:
Great News! Non-Root method still works on version 5.1.1. XD
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] Paleryder:
I just got my Note Edge, and man I love it!!!

I will refer back to the OP to get my Hot Spot working using Sqlite right?

I am not rooted, will this interfere with any new updates?
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] z31k:
You need to just get the MSL for non-root method.. it wont interfere. :)
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] Paleryder:
Thanks I am on latest 5.1

I would like to root if there is a real close to stock ROM, been through so many devices don't really care to try and keep up with updates and such but hotspot is a must!

Any draw backs to doing this for

:future stock updates

:any thing Sprint side to get ya looked @

:is there a way/need to reset this to stock? TYVM
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] z31k:
Using non-root method does not touch system files.

Sprint's techs are borderline retards.

Yes, dial ##72786# and it will wipe the apns..

Keep in mind that this mod may require maintenance from time to time. when you get your MSL keep it in a safe place.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] theratdude64:
Thanks for the tutorial :) I finally got the paid version of the right SQLite editor, worked great this time.

Couple questions, I've heard over my years of Hotspot unlocking that carriers have a browser signature check to verify it's the phone. Like if I connect via a PC, it'll show windows and throw an error at sprint that I've unlocked Hotspot. Nintendo 3ds, etc.

So am I safe to occasionally use it to connect my 3DS without it reporting to sprint? I have zero heavy use plans for Hotspot, just 3ds and rare tablet usage.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] z31k:
I have never heard that. I use it for everything and I havent gotten anything that would give sprint an indication. I have had my service provisioned a couple times. But i just repeat and all is good. :o
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] beejmeister:
I have in the past been successful with HotSpot activation on rooted devices but thought I'd try this without rooting....

I was successful with following the non-root method.

Got my laptop to connect, and got data throughput.... but then I got "Hotspot Error" and it says "Unable to connect to data network, turning off Hotspot. Your plan may not have the Hotspot service. Do you want to see subscription options?"

Could be my week signal here at my house. I'll try again when I'm in a strong LTE location but wanted to post this to check to see if anyone else has experience.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] z31k:
Its not the weak signal, you got provisioned.. just redo the modification. You should be good. XD
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] beejmeister:
You're right! I did the reset of all settings. Had to do twice. On the third try it took and stuck. THANKS!!!
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] Paleryder:
Anyone try this after stage freight patch went through?
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] z31k:
Yep... Still works. XD
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] beejmeister:
OK. I'm still good on my phone. Just tried to do to my business partners and got a weird result...

Was able to do the mod, able to turn on Hot Spot. Able to connect computers to it... but the computers do NOT get internet.

In the browser the message comes up that DNS server was unable to be reached and the wifi symbol in the tray has an exclamation point on it and says "LIMITED" when hovered.

Thoughts from you smart people?
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] Pitchblack98:
I am having the exact same problem on my phone since updating to Freeza's 5.1.1 rom. Anyone have any ideas?

EDIT: Fixed the problem. I updated my profile thru settings and that cleared out the changes. Redid the changes list in the first post, restarted, and it has started working. Hopefully this will help out anyone else having this problem.

NON-ROOT method:

Step 5, doesn't stick when I select.........goes right back to LTE Internet.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] spliff721:
A. Go to data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases

B. Open Telephony.db and go into carriers

C. add ",dun" to type in the APN2 LTE internet and APN2 EHRPD internet

D. SAVE and REBOOT.

followed these instructions and i have no data upon reboot. any suggestions?
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] z31k:
##72786# and start over.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] Sortilege:
no longer works.

So I have Sprint note edge and this non root method has worked for a long time. Well I woke up this morning and my phone said the PRL was updated and of course the hotspot no longer works. So I have redone these steps over and over again but each time there is no longer data on the phone and phone calls don't work. Any updates? And just to check when I type "dun" without the quote marks I do erase what is on that line and leave only "dun".....correct?
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] z31k:
Are you forgetting the comma before the dun? ", dun"
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] Sortilege:
I am. Is there a space after the comma? And is that the only thing that should be typed in that field?
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] whoppe862005:
Leave everything in the box. Don't delete anything. Just put the comma and dun in the text field. No space either between the comma and the word.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] Sortilege:
Done and thank you. All is sunny and bright and my life makes sense again :)
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] johnyrockett:

[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] 23jumpman23:
Yea after i clicked carriers and it brought me to that page.... if i click the data tab it brings me to here but i wouldnt know which to edit.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] midmofan:
For any having trouble with LTE and Data connection after trying the non-root meathod, there is a good chance you typed the ",dun" in the "APN" field instead of scrolling down to the "APN Type" field.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] midmofan:
I also do not have line 3396

EDIT: Was in line 264 on my phone. It created the hotspot button and it works although is a long lag.

I am having issues with the HotSpot unlock. Everytime (5x) I have tried to set the setting, the phone looses mobile data. I pretty sure I am at the correct place... not the first time I have done this. LOL..

[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] z31k:
Odin stock marshmallow and try again. Sucks that you are having issues. I work a lot so i am a little late on responses. All i did was odin marshmallow, wait till boot. Once the device activation screen finished i pull the battery and put it in odin mode again and flash TWRP. Once it reboots i hard button into recovery and flash Beta Supersu 2.71. Lmk if this works out brother. ?
