[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d0ce:
What the chap did in that video was exactly what my original plan was to root and install TWRP. Where I got stuck is the TWRP recovery hung so I couldn't flash SuperSU. Good run down of the basics of flashing with Odin though.

What I did after the recovery got stuck was return to download mode and flash CF-Root again through Odin (same process as in the video). The one for the 920I didn't actually work (boot loop), the 920F CF-Root worked fine though. Probably has something to do with these CF-Roots having been build on a older firmware as you noted in your OP. Then, once you have root, you can flash a custom recovery (such as TWRP) through Flashify (available on Play Store).

It certainly can be confusing with all the trial and error reported in these forums, this is largely because the devices are new. The Devs' will iron out the bugs in due course making the process much simpler. You could wait a few weeks and check back, or grab yourself a stock Spark firmware and have a crack. Flashing this trough Odin will return you to stock provided you can get your phone to download mode. No responsibility from my end.

Another thing, you will lose OTA updates. You will find newer firmwares here as they get released, to update its as simple as flashing them through Odin.

Yes the G920I listed on Chainfires site is for the AOC6 build, but I am on the AOD1 build.

Another thing, should i factory reset before rooting?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d0ce:
Nah, don't bother. The process will retain all your settings and data too.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skydawn1001:
So just confirm that i can root my g920I with build AOD1 with this meathod?

So just confirm that i can root my g920I with build AOD1 with this meathod?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s3ct0r:
So were you able to install TWRP?

CF Root works for me with 920I version, but flashing TWRP forces it not to boot past the Samsung Logo.

Likewise with flashing a custom kernel also forces it not to boot past the Samsung Logo

Im on the C4 Australia build.. thinking about trying to flash a later 920I build to see if it'll help
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kjc99:
Did someone figure this out? I have the Sm-920i and I get stuck at the Samsung splash screen after flashing twrp! So I have to Odin the cf-auto-root... I've tried flashify also... It won't work... Stuck @ Galaxy S6 screen what gives is it the SM-920I OR ME? I have had many Galaxy phones in the past but this one is pissing me off
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s3ct0r:
Yeah flash the New Zealand 1D firmware and TWRP will work perfectly. But note that to get root, you will have to use cf-auto-root for the 920G Model :)

Best of luck
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kjc99:
How come it has to be the New Zealand? I'm trying to backup my carriers crappy baked rom just in case I need to return... Is there anyway to back it up without a custom recovery but rooted? Because if I flash the new Zealand before making a backup and have to return they will see I have messed with the phone because they put a boot animation
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s3ct0r:
Doesn't have to be the New Zealand one, I just used it since I'm in Australia. Any 920I firmware should work just make sure it's at least 1D. I only tried those firmwares, and always had success :)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kjc99:
My carrier is GCI wireless in Alaska, USA... No way to download there firmware...also is twrp it? No more cwm or philz recovery?

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s3ct0r:
Flash the ktoonsez Kernel, or the flashable zip from the Cf-AutoRoot topic :)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kjc99:
Is ktoonsez a stable kernel, I remember using it on my S4 but skipped it last year on my S5 because it had to many tweaks... Can I use it with a stock rom? Alliance?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s3ct0r:
Yeah, it's stable and you can use it out a sock rom. That's what currently using, but going to try a custom rom soon just for the memory fix :)

The user's profile says they're from the U.S., but then the post says things like:

Also, Titanium is pretty terrible. If you're actually planning to develop real apps one day, then you're just wasting your time with Titanium, since you'll never be able to develop a high quality app with it.

hello guys I have a huge problem .. last night I downloaded from SamMobile firmware download lollipop went well I flash the firmware with Odin without errors but then when you restart the galaxy hangs. It crashes immediately after the bootloader screen. does not transmit even the boot animation ... what could have happened? I did a hard reset I installed several times but the firmware is not working. .

Wipe data/factory reset in the recovery and flash the firmware... or try it at another pc :)

Or download a new firmware :)

Hope i can help you
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] S37hhh:
Seems to be OK, battery is slightly worse than Eudemony v3 + bonuzzz kernel (but that's just perfect combo, u can't outdo that ;) )

Rooted with the same Chainfire for 4.4.4 and tested that it works.

Wish I can get back the Slide status bar to adjust brightness feature from Xposed cause it's really annoying without it.

Also found some weird bug when I have my handsfree connected, it spams the default message to switch on the wired headsets under "Voice" menu, I disabled enhanced Google Voice keyboard input prediction or wtv the hell it is that I don't use anyways and it's OK for now. If I encounter it again, I'll prolly go back to KitKat cause listening to that dumb message on repeat is not fun.

Can't wait for a modded one.

thanks
[ZenFone 2 General] Aceofzeroz:
For your second question, I know that one is correct. If you're on the most recent firmware update, then you'll need to flash the same pre-rooted firmware. Check out shacka's links to see if it's there, and if not then keep checking until he uploads it.;):cool:

Thanks. Was actually able to get the earlier firmware version pre-rooted image flashed and working following the steps in this thread, although it didn't work properly first time of trying (kept getting some error message about android.media). Once I had deleted user data and reflashed the pre-rooted image it worked fine. However, when I tried to do OTA I got stuck in a bootloop despite not having updated su or binaries - I guess some legacy of having previously been on the latest firmware? Anyway, sorted it out and all working fine and fast now on rooted and debloated 2.14.30.11 so I'm happy to stick with that until a more major update comes along (Android 5.1 for example).

Error!

I followed the instructions on "3) Rooting Zenfone 2" to root my ZE551ML / Z00A, and rebooted the phone.

Now my phone is messed up:

- it wont take me to homescreen ("Unfortunately, System UI has stopped", "Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped")

- i can get past lockscreen

- tried rerooting again to no success

- phone wont boot to recovery (error & dead android with red triangle)

Note that the phone isnt bricked, and Im not stuck in a bootloop.

What do I do? Please help.. :(
[ZenFone 2 General] kanagawaben:
Sounds similar to the problems I initially had. Try entering into fastboot mode then connect to your computer and do a fastboot -w command to wipe your cache and data. Then try to flash the images as per the root guide on this thread again.

i would like to root my zf2 (2gb 1.8gz

the phone via recovery . please help.
[ZenFone 2 General] mhp1995:
No phone does no go into bootloop after wiping data/cache via recovery/adb... YOU WILL FACE PROBLEMS IF U REMOVE BLOATWARE...

MY ADVICE FOR YOU: DON'T REMOVIE ANY SYSTEM APP/BLOATWARE JUST FREEZE THEM.....
[ZenFone 2 General] prc.kailas:
thank for the info buddy. but am getting only 600mb of ram after boot.about 1.2gb is system reserved. I am not able to run even 5 app simultaneously. it will close when i press home button
[ZenFone 2 General] mhp1995:
Latest firmware has solved many graphics issues as well as battery issues....Still for battery drain use Greenify... It helped me a lot and install xposed framework and " fix lollipop memory leak" module to fix the Android 5.1 Lollipop bug..DON'T REMOVE THE BLOATWARE/SYSTEM APP JUST FREEZE THEM...and for graphics u can use GLtools :good: I haven't used it yet as all the games i have on my phone play smoothly..i dont feel the need to optimize my gpu..

So in short:

1) FOR BATTERY DRAIN - USE GREENIFY

2) FOR MEMORY LEAK FIX - INSTALL XPOSED FRAMEWORK AND THEN INSTALL FIX LOLLIPOP MEMORY LEAK

3) FOR GPU ENHANCEMENT - YOU CAN USE GLTOOLS

4) FREEZE BLOATWARE :::: DON'T DELETE THEM ::: (IT WILL ALSO HELP YOU TO INCREASE BATTERY LIFE AS WELL AS KEPP UR PHONE RUNNING SMOOTH --- MORE RAM AVAILABLE)
[ZenFone 2 General] prc.kailas:
and battery is draining fast. last up to only 3hr when the device on on screen even when power saver is acrivated.. wired
[ZenFone 2 General] mhp1995:
How much ram do u have? For more ram you can freeze the bloatware/apps you don't use..Use Asus's inbuilt autostart manager and disable apps which you feel don't have the need to autostart automatically..... Also install greenify for less battery drain and "FIX lollipop memory leak" module...
[ZenFone 2 General] prc.kailas:
300mb . yeah I will do it aftr rooting thanks the great support

Viper4android is not working with poweramp, Music (Asus app).... I use PlayerPro so i can feel the difference...Try all these things and use different music player....and then report back :) Also make sure you haven't unchecked this app from auto-starting etc....
[ZenFone 2 General] KaiStone:
Yeah, I have been using V4A for a long time, so we can skip those very basic steps.

I hear some people said they have problem with some music player so I do try. Like PowerAMP, Youtube, MX Player, VLC... No hope. Actually I cannot use your PlayerPro cause it shows no songs at all but Facebook Pop and Hangout's. Cannot modify music directory or manual scan too :(

Do you have any other music player that works?

-------------------------------------------------------

Update

I found why my library is empty, because of .nomedia

Yeah you were right, PlayerPro works well, so does V4A. Now Processing status is YES and I notice difference of the sounds :fingers-crossed:

The only 1 problem is I purchased PowerAMP Pro and now have to buy PlayerPro, it's a wasted :( Do you have any tricks that makes PowerAMP working with V4A together? Or recommend me a free music player app neither :o Thank you
