[T-Mobile LG G3] b49adam:
Hi I'm hoping somebody here can help me. I just bought a new LG G3 & upon further inspection of the Phone I noticed an app installed called SuperSU. I did a little digging & it turns out this Phone is rooted. I don't want to lose my Warranty or OTA updates from T-Mobile so can somebody please walk me through the steps to remove this & start fresh from stock T-Mobile Phone please.

I'm not the best at this kind of stuff so I'll need a very nice person to walk me through this or if you have a video with clear instructions. Please & Thank you.

This is the best way I know of going back to stock.

Use either the KDZ or TOT method.

There is no "easy" one-click method and you are at risk of bricking your phone.

You can also try the LG Mobile Support Tool

This page is pretty easy to follow and is what I always use when refreshing my phone.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile LG G3] decaturbob:
this cant be a "new phone" if Superuser was installed and its rooted
[T-Mobile LG G3] Naturesretard:
Having root doesn't void the warranty. Furthermore, by buying off somebody instead of a tmo rep, you already don't even have a warranty, unless Tue guy you bought it off still has one one it currently.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Greaper88:
Pretty easily done with Odin and TWRP.

ALERT! This will void whatever warranty you have. Also, I am not at fault if your phone comes to life..... or dies.

Just need to download Odin (there are forums all over for finding the files.)

Download the TWRP recovery flash file:

http://dl.twrp.me/hltespr/twrp-2.8.6.1-hltespr-4.4.img.tar

Download Chainfire's SuperSU and copy to SD card:

http://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip

Power off phone entirely.

Hold Volume down + home and power the device on, then press Volume up to confirm entering Download Mode.

Open Odin.

Connect Phone to computer.

Wait for drivers to install if not already. May need to obtain Samsung USB drivers (http://androidxda.com/download-samsung-usb-drivers)

When the box shows "COM #", click the PDA button and select the TWRP image file you downloaded. (or other recovery).

Uncheck "Auto Reset"

Click Start.

Once finished, disconnect device.

PULL BATTERY

Power into Recovery first thing first by holding Volume up + Home. (failure to do so will result in the stock recovery being flashed back on boot by the phone)

Recovery will autopatch the ROM to prevent the stock recovery from being rewritten on reboot. (or should)

From inside your recovery, flash the SuperSU update zip.

Reboot and enjoy root!

(I had to try a couple of times through trial and error to get it to stick)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rbaucom:
Does doing it this way trip Knox? I read the part about voiding your warranty. I know by having root it voids Samsung warranty.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Greaper88:
It does from what I can tell. A stock ROM flash should be able to reset Knox, it did for me, but varied results from other threads on these forums.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rbaucom:
Wow your the first person that I have read that was able to reset a blown an efuse American sprint note 3 Knox that way.

I'm reluctant to try it.

And thinking about it it looks like that yes it would looks like it needs a a non stock recovery.

I'll wait.

Looks like we are about to have a deodexed stock rom with root about to drop. From the other thread post in here.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] elwood:
Just to clarify. Once KNOX is tripped there is no reseting it unless the insides are swapped out. When you trip KNOX you blow an e-fuse which is non reversible. However there are ways of upgrading and keeping root without tripping knox, but thats has nothing to do with this

May is Motorcycle Awarness Month. Sent from my Galaxy Note 3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] agentcelsius:
so tripping KNOX and blowing the e-fuse is bad, right? so what happens after? does the phone self destruct? and is there a way around it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] elwood:
It's only bad if you care about warranty. Once rooted it will show 0x1 in Download Mode. A Samsung repair Tech or Sprint Repair Tech can see that and refuse to fix your phone

I recently upgraded to ok2, and used this same procedure to reroot my phone successfully.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kompster:
Coming from JellyBean MJ4 firmware would it be safe to flash the pre-rooted OK2 through TWRP?

Flashed fine from NAB and seemed functional enough but I wasn't happy with the Lollipop UI. Reverted to NK4.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Sinyc:
Thanks worked from OK2 Stock.

One question... Can I use another SU application? I was trying to use an old wireless tethering application but it is asking me if I am rooted and won't start.

Titanium backup runs fine and says I have root, as does Root Checker.

If not, does anyone have a working wireless tethering application for their Note 3?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Greaper88:
I use Wi-Fi tether router. It's about $3 and works beautifully. (It does license check I believe)

They haven't updated their language to include lollipop, but as a general rule, whatever it says to do for kitkat will work on lollipop. Under "Configure Router," they have a link to the website with a list of configurations. Just follow that, and you should be good. One thing that I would add is to leave the "lte tether patch" unchecked.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.wifitetherrouter

You could try finding a newer superuser zip to flash in recovery. I do know that a couple of older ones gave that issue. I personally didn't have any luck with another supersu app, but the last time I tried a different one was on kitKat.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Dark77star:
Hello there,

I am currently writing a review for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. The site I work with focuses on longer term reviews (90 days or more) and the ability of technology products to match lifestyles; we focus on real world use, not features and specs.

In the case of the Note 4, we have been reviewing two variants of the device, an AT&T variant and one through T-Mobile.

During the review process, we noticed that the battery life, with around 2 hours of on screen time per day, varied between 6-9 hours. Device encryption was not turned on during this time. This was similar between the two variants.

We recently upgraded our AT&T device to Lollipop. After the upgrade, our battery life diminished by over an hour, down to around an average of 5-8 hours, with still around 2 hours of battery life. We also noticed significant stuttering in the UI, which was surprising, since the new ART runtime is supposed to be faster. We then turned on device encryption...ouch.

After turning on encryption, we have been getting around 8-9 hours of battery life, but with only an average of 15 minutes of on screen time. In addition, the security storage (com.sec.Android.providers.security) process routinely spikes up, with the entire CPU being maxed out for hours at a time.

At this point, our review for the Note 4, and indirectly Lollipop, will not be great.

That said, we really want to give the Note 4, and Android in general, a fair shake. As such, we are reaching out to experienced Android users to get worthwhile suggestions on what we might do to address the battery life issues.

Here are some pertinent facts:

-We have a 64 GB micro SD in the slot.

-The device has 2.7 GB of free space.

-Our network signal ranges from 3-5 bars most of the day, with some spots that we frequent down to two bars.

Needing to remove the SD card is possible, but it would be a ding against the device, and the OS to a certain extent, as the ability to use external storage is a plus for some users, especially when built in storage is limited to 32GB.

Please see the attached screenshots for more details.

This request will also be posted on Android Central for a broader audience.

We are trying to be as impartial as possible, so your help is appreciated.

Best regards,

Eric
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
I used to have an issue with my battery life dropping due to the media scanner as well. The card i was using came strsight from my old phone. I noticed that my phone was hardly entering deep sleep with the card in. If I took out the card, the phone would suddenly sleep. I ended up reformatting my card.

Try this:

Take the card out of the phone and don't use the phone for about and hour. Turn the phone on and look at the battery stats. Tdp the graph and see if the phone was sleeping during that hour.

If so, do (A)

If not, then there's a different problem. Try doing a factory reset, especially if just updated to Lollipop.

(A)

1) move all apps to internal storage (settings-application manager- SD card. Make sure everything is unchecked)

2) back up all music, pictures, etc that's on the card. Don't backup the Android folder. Only your files.

4) put card back into phone

5) go to settings-storage and format the external card (don't use a computer)

6) put your files back on the card
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Dark77star:
Thanks for the advice. I thought of that this morning, turned off the phone with a full charge in it and removed the card. Then started up the phone around noon. We'll see how long it lasts now, and if the security storage process maxes out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] thanitos:
Turn off enhanced lte services in mobile data, that helps with battery life
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] tampa8:
What is the site you are writing for please.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Dark77star:
I didn't want to post the name of the site as I didn't want to get in trouble for "advertising". If that's ok with the moderators, I will post it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Dark77star:
By the way, without the SD Card in place, we are at over 12 hours since last charge, with around 45 min of screen on time: much better than before. Battery left is 54%. I will rebuild the SD card tomorrow and see if that results in improved life with the SD card in place.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Dark77star:
Security storage is still way too active though. Averaging around 6-14% CPU.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
How long ago was the phone updated to Lollipop? It took my phone 3-4 days to "settle in." It started with things constantly running in the background, then after 3 or 4 days the phone just suddenly took a chill pill and battery life improved dramatically.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Dark77star:
It's been over a week at this point. Are you using an SD card with your phone? I'll be copying the data off of mine and replacing it to see what happens.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Dark77star:
Today the phone was on without charging since 7 am. Currently at 15% power at 1030 pm. About 2 hours 10 min on screen time.

Better than before, but I would prefer more on screen time with some power to spare at the end of the day. We'll see what happens after I add in the SD card tomorrow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jack man:
I'm easily hitting 7 hours (sometimes more) screen on time per charge. If you're only getting less than three, somethin' ain't right.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Dark77star:
Jack man: how many apps do you have? Are you running with encryption turned on? How much free space do you have?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jack man:
I think I counted close to 100 apps on my play store list. No encryption. And my storage is two-thirds full. I stream music in my car quite often and have a lot of music saved on the device on the Google Music App, use the snote app a lot (I'm a teacher). I've disabled a lot of the bloatware that came on the phone, etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Dark77star:
Interesting ok. Our review phone is set up with lollipop, stock, no root, all bloatware intact. The reason being is that we test for the average user, users who not not know how to root their phones.

There are a lot of other review sites that provide reviews for experts and phone "techies", but those sites focus on features and specs. They also test battery life without bloatware, as optimized as possible. That's great for their audience, but not for ours. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
Ok, then the OS should have settled by now.

Yes, im using a 64GB Sandisk with about 70% space used.

Your phone is still waking up way too often. Id start checking apps. Something seems to be waking the phone up for some reason. It could be pinging for location, syncing data, or checking for updates. It could be Facebook too if you have that logged in.

Edit

You could also have a defective unit. My old phone had a cpu that went bad and it caused the cpu to not enter deep sleep. Does the phone get really hot? I mean REALLY hot. A little heat is normal, but if it hurts, then its too hot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Dark77star:
Interesting. It did get hot and still does, but not blisteringly so.

Facebook is logged in and is one of the apps that we use in testing, along with Twitter, etc, as most "regular" users are also users of Facebook, Twitter, etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Dark77star:
Facebook sucks a lot of power on an iPhone as well, so that doesn't surprise me. On Windows phone, it hardly uses any power. I wonder if the Windows Phone OS is better at forcing apps to hibernate than iOS and Android.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Dark77star:
Is there a way to force Facebook to stay shut down unless actually in use?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jack man:
Go into apps and disable two apps:

Com.facebook.appmanager and com.facebook.system. I disabled them and the main FB app still runs very smooth with no problems. I think these two apps related to FB are trying to link your FB account to your Samsung account.

Also, go into wifi settings and uncheck the boxes about scanning for wifi even when off

So that wifi is only actually on when you have it enabled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
This

Though the Facebook part wouldn't really be what a general user would have the knowledge to do, but it would at least help diagnose battery drain.

Would a typical user really use Twitter?

I know a ton of typical users and only 1 of them uses Twitter.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JerseyFF:
Did you factory reset after the update? It sounds like something may be "out of place" from the update. This is typically step 1 for any strange issues.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanielKennethRego:
The Zenfone 2 releases in my country tomorrow, and I'm almost set on it being my next phone. Before I found out about the ZF2, my choice was going to be the OnePlus One.

I love the specs of the Zenfone 2 (who doesn't), but one aspect of the phone that's been getting mixed reception so far is the camera. While ASUS pimped the camera as one of the phone's greatest assets at CES, a couple of reviews/comparisons I've seen online describe a more disappointing (though not 'bad') camera on the phone, particularly in comparison to some of its competition.

eg. two articles from Indian tech magazine Digit, both commenting about the disappointing camera (and battery life) on the Zenfone 2.

http://www.digit.in/mobile-phones/asus-zenfone-2-ze551ml-4gb-ram-32gb-review-25861.html

http://www.digit.in/slideshows/asus-zenfone-2-performance-comparison-9.html

On the other hand, this GSMArena article has a better opinion of the camera.

http://www.gsmarena.com/asus_zenfone_2_series_handson-review-1234p4.php

What do the Zenfone 2 owners and users here think about the camera on their phones? Comparisons to the Zenfone 2's main competitors (OnePlus One and Xiaomi MI4) are welcome.
