if you care why read root threads on xda?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] jasonbiggs:
Well if those so called "caring" companies would give us customers a little bit more control of our phones to get rid of some of their crapware, etc., then I would be all for it but they keep the lock on too tight as far as I'm concerned.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
i lold at this post.. you dont just have a new device come out and a dev say it will take him a few days... the note 4 has been out for many months now and is still not rooted.. if you want to know where devs are at check those threads because they are working on rooting that device currently..

there is i believe only one L exploit that would not help in gettimg root available right now so until more exploits are found we dont stand a chance with root
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] XTRoRDiNAiRE:
I'm not holding my breathe on root for this phone I don't see it happening any time soon

I came off a RAZR HD MAXX, and have always had Moto phones (this is my first non-moto phone), but I read in at least 2 places that root cannot be had on this phone because verizon and AT&T have locked bootloaders. Now, Im not sure what the boot loader has to do with getting root, because with my Motos I always rooted before unlocking the BL (on the phones I had that UL the BL was an option), but it just doesnt sound right.

I dont think I want to use custom ROMs any longer, I just want to use root apps. Really hoping someone finds an exploit for it.

awesome find. now this is for the note 4 kit kat right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] longview41:
I believe it is for all kernels up to May 2015.

It has been tested on the S6, and should work for any phone with a vulnerable kernel.

It should result in a root tool similar to towelroot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
You havent been on my roms then ;).. Its a stripped down bare bone stock rom with slight tweaks/mods.. i did try theming before but with theme engine now its pointless to theme it now..

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I am very new to the nexus line as I came from a locked galaxy s5 on Verizon. However I have seen you can get the kernel to always be permissive. What benefits does this bring? I use xposed and was wondering if anything would help me there. Thanks for any help or insight!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Some xposed modules and mods may require the kernel to be permissive.

To read more, read https://source.android.com/devices/tech/security/selinux/concepts.html

It should be noted that Google wants your phone to be in enforcing to be secure.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Are there any other benefits or uses other than xposed?

Also, are most custom kernels enforcing by default? Still trying to understand everything

My AT&T Galaxy Note 3 is no longer recognizing touches, but the soft buttons works, any ideas? I am not sure if it happened after an update since I have so many phones I can't keep track. :(

I know I had an AT&T Galaxy Mega with a replaced screen stop responding to touches after an update. Maybe this one has the same issue? Not sure... But AT&T should stop stripping out drivers on their kernels (that way aftermarket digitizers keep working after updates....)

Thanks!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nutt_case:
You hit the nail on the head!

Unfortunately [MENTION=271250]att[/MENTION] not the only ones, Google doing the same thing...I've got an nexus 4 that quit responding to touch after the 5.1 update. ..after a lot of head scratching I finally determined that Google removed a lot of aftermarket drivers. ..so either stuck on old firmware or have to replace screen again with genuine OEM.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m4f1050:
I kinda figured that's what happened. What I haven't tried yet is using the pen.... Will have to wait 'til I get home. It's sad, Google started being all about open source, now they are locking bootloaders, voiding warranty if rooted, bleh....

EDIT: Since we can root this device, is there a way to add the missing drivers and have them load on boot?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nutt_case:
Not that I know of...unfortunately, unlike the nexus, the bootloader is locked so no way to flash a custom kernel with the missing drivers.

Only fix I know is to flash back to the old firmware that did support the aftermarket digitizers.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m4f1050:
How can I do that? It won't let me flash an older Kernel...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nutt_case:

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m4f1050:
Im on 4.3... Hmmmm.... I don't have the locked bootloader then?

BTW, the pen works...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nutt_case:
Yes bootloader is locked , but you can still downgrade/flash stock official firmware. Interesting that the pen is recognized, but not touch.

You can downgrade back to whatever the last working firmware was.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodrigorajao:
On my Galaxy Tab S 16GB, when I go to Settings > Storage, the first line I see is about 4.12GB worth of System application stuff that won't shrink no matter how much bloatware I remove (the device is rooted).

This line does not appear at all on my Nexus 5, so I'm 100% sure this is bloatware.

So, 25% of my internal storage on the Tab S is unusable due to Samsung's bloatware crap.

I'd like to know how much space the bloatware would take up on a S6 of the 32GB variety, as it tends to change across devices.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solitarymonkey:
On mine, Storage reports just over 6 Gig of system memory usage. But that will be the OS and some other shizzle too, I'm guessing?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodrigorajao:
6GB and no external storage? Ouch!!! No way I'm blowing my money on that just yet. Let's hope custom ROM makers pick this up.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solitarymonkey:
Definitely need to be a bit more frugal than I'm used to with my old S3, where I had 16GB internal and 32GB external. But for me, music is my main killer, as I like higher quality encodings. Luckily though, I have a 10GB data allowance, and only listen to the same set of songs. Depends what you wanna do really.

I'm sure once custom stuff properly starts to roll, we'll have a better understanding of what's inside, and better use for it.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pianowow:
Hi all,

Here's my story. I have a US T-Mobile Galaxy S5. I wanted to try Lollipop as the new Touchwiz wasn't available yet for my device in early April. So hearing that it is very fast I chose CM12 and used their guide for the S5. I had a little trouble (Heimdall didn't work for some reason), but I successfully used Odin to install the custom recovery (TWRP). Then I was able to wipe and install the CM12 nightly image just fine using TWRP.

Since then I realized that my Gear 2 is only partially compatible with CM12. I've yet to find a thread that shows specific steps to get it working well with CM12, only partially, and many have had trouble even getting partial functionality. And now that Lollipop Touchwiz is available for my phone, I'd like to switch to that.

Last weekend I tried just that. I took a second backup of my CM12 build, then restored my backup from touchwiz 4.4. When I booted to it, the phone was severely crippled. The menu bar and navigation drawer were missing, and the home button did not work at all. I performed a factory reset, and it seemed to be working fine again. Next, I tried an OTA update to 5.0. That didn't work: the phone realized it had been tampered with and told me to use Kies. So I installed Kies, and attempted the update there. After some wrestling with it, I finally got the update to 5.0 started. It finished successfully (so it said anyway) but the phone failed to boot up. It was stuck on the Samsung logo screen for quite a long time. There was some blue text about recovery and I was panicking thinking somehow TWRP screwed up my ability to update w/ Kies. I tried rebooting and could not get into recovery or the OS no matter what. I tried Kies' emergency options only to have it not recognize my phone as compatible. So I went to download mode and installed TWRP again using Odin. Then I was able to boot into recovery, and I restored the backup of CM12 I took before I started all this (thank God I did that).

So now I'm back on CM12 with everything working fine, except of course my watch. I did not expect the restore back to Samsung software to be more difficult than going to CM12.

Can anyone see what I did wrong?

I gather I can install a stock rom with Odin. But all the links I find for this download take me to some sketchy download site that crawls at 50 K/s unless you pay. Am I missing something? Kies downloaded the update in a matter of minutes. Maybe that is still somewhere on my system, and I can use that w/ Odin?

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pianowow:
so frustrating

I downloaded the lollipop stock image from sammobile, and installed with Odin. Odin reported success just like Kies did, and also just like the Kies process, my phone is still stuck in the recovery boot loop. It says RECOVERY BOOTING... in blue at the top and shows the Samsung logo powered by android. What a mess.

Is there something I can do from here to fix this?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
Try flashing the PIT file along with the stock ROM, that will repartition the phone then flash the ROM, sounds like something got corrupted using KIES maybe

Double check that this is in-fact the exact model phones PIT file first or you could end up with an even worse brick
