Early indications show that the reset from recovery may have fixed the issue, at least so far...

SO, maybe I don't need a fresh install after all. Before, I had reset from within the settings menu. Is there a real difference between the two?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Sgt.CM:
I'm not positive but I don't think you can flash back if you took the OTA. Once you take 5.0 there is no going back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] nutt_case:
Only for the g900a. ..the g870a active can be safely downgraded.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] morrowa2:
I did something like this for the GS3, back in 2012. It's likely that nothing will come of it, but it certainly doesn't hurt to let Verizon know that its tech savvy customers are not happy with the restrictions on devices for which we pay top dollar, ie locked/encrypted bootloader. Strength in numbers! I encourage everyone to take a minute to file a consumer complaint.

Go to: https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us?return_to=/hc/en-us/requests

Here is the language I used:

"I filed a similar complaint in 2012 on Verizon Wireless, for locking and encrypting the bootloader on the Samsung Galaxy S3, at the time, the best phone money could buy. Here we are in 2015, now with the Galaxy S6. I pay full retail price for my smartphones, so expect to be able to modify, customize, and optimize my devices, to my liking, particularly to remove useless Verizon software, and removing ads. Once again, Verizon has forced Samsung to encrypt the bootloader making it virtually impossible to take advantage of all the device can do. This slows down the device, forces consumers to use Verizon's preinstalled apps, stalls development of software, and ultimately, when Verizon halts the updating of its own software, pushes consumers to pay top dollar for the next flagship device. Verizon often claims that is to protect the integrity of the network. But then why are developer editions available for a select few models? As our smartphones move closer and closer to being our sole computing devices, the restrictions placed on those devices need to be lifted, especially at the price consumers pay for both the devices and the service. I've been with Verizon for 9 years, and have no intention of switching carriers, but I do not believe loyal customers should be treated this way. Please investigate!"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bignazpwns:
I filed a complaint.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] KennyG123:
Perhaps nothing came of it because the FCC has no control or say in locked bootloaders? Locked bootloaders has nothing to do with radio emissions or broadcasts. It is a security feature.

The other thing to consider is that a locked bootloader does not prohibit in any way the use that the carrier or manufacturer intended.

There are also many phones out there with a locked bootloader that still have root and are customizable. The real issue is you have no root.

You should be on complaints.com or some consumer oriented site, not the FCC.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] morrowa2:
Thank you for clarifying. I guess my main point is to encourage everyone to speak up in one form or another, and if the FCC has some oversight on mobile phone companies, it's as good an avenue as any. If you can suggest better language to use, I'm sure there are many of us that would want to make their voices heard.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] KennyG123:
I think you are better off with consumer complaint type sites like complaints.com. The thing is, the community that wants to root their phones are less than 1 percent of Verizon's sales....and they have increased their sales to military and corporate by more than 10% by drastically increasing the security. There really is no venue that has any power to push Verizon to change this policy. Smartphones are personal computers where people are doing all their financial business now. 99% of the customers want them as secure as possible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bignazpwns:
I got a response. They said Verizon will be responding to me.

I know it won't make a diff. But they are in some violation of some FCC stuff in terms of limiting how we use our unlimited data as they ruled its our data we can use it as we want.

Atleast its some unwanted attention. FCC can not do anything but Verizon does not want to hear from the FCC. Know they can't do anything but some times you have to use everything you can get. I look forward to Verizon response of why I can not unlock my bootloader. My phone bought off contract and I should be able to install Ubuntu on it if I want.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] stealyourface1:
If nothing else these carriers (Verizon at&t among others) could offer the option of developer or retail version device...best of both worlds. Theirs my 2 cents.

Sent from my SM-G920V
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] geoff5093:
Or do what HTC did, allow you to unlock it via the HTC Dev website. That way people who want it secure can keep it secure, and those that want to tinker with it have the choice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] morrowa2:
Agreed. I still would like to see more people do this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] jmstumme:
I also added a bit about the fcc rules on the block c action (700MHz lte band verizon uses)

The argument being on a pc you have the choice to install windows or linux which is, in large, a software application.

Cheers
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] KennyG123:
Verizon blocked that as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] jlang11:
Please keep us informed as to what they say.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gunnermike:
Complete waste of time. The FCC has no control of device security. Even if they did, do you really think anything will come of it? Comcast and Time Warner, multi billion dollar companies couldn't get the to make a decision for nearly 18 months. What do you think your chances are?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] bignazpwns:
sqeeky wheel gets the oil. Verizon does not want the fcc saying there name due to how they limit how you use your unlimited data and the fcc already said your data you can use itt how you please. locked bl and no root i am unable to use my tethering option of choice to use my data how i please. So if we want yes the fcc can get involved.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] morrowa2:
Agreed... may not accomplish anything for this device, but it doesn't harm anything to file a complaint. The more people do it, the stronger our voice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] kgirlx:
Why are you buying a known locked device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] KennyG123:
Out of curiosity, wouldn't all this energy be best directed at the cause? If 1000's of people could give Verizon a good enough reason to offer a bootloader unlock like HTC does for other carriers, perhaps they would consider it...even if it was a pay service...like $20 and your warranty is void kind of thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gunnermike:
That's not how it works. The FCC can NOT tell a company how to secure or not secure its devices. It can only regulate COMMUNICATION, not boot loaders.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] jmstumme:
Yes but verizon has to comply with regulations attached to the 700MHz band which says that they cannot deny access to the network and have to allow customers to choose how to use their devices (47 CFR 27.16).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] KennyG123:
That does not mean requiring unlocked bootloaders.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] jmstumme:
One could argue that a recovery or a rom is an application. At the least if I want to use a root only app I should be able to choose.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] KennyG123:
No, because rooting is not supported by the carriers or manufacturer and you can never turn this into an argument for it. If there is an unused band that Verizon should be allowing you to use, that is a firmware update they would need to put out...it would never be about breaking security on the phone. Bank says you should have access to your money...does not mean the vault is open 24/7 for you to enter. Stretching that quote to allow for rooting is a stretch. And also not within the FCC's jurisdiction.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] USMC retired:
my 2 cents

The two carriers in question are really nothing more than Corporate Bully's when it comes to this discussion, why do Sprint and T-Mobile allow it, but VZ and ATT don't? because they admit what the other 2 won't, that is it will not affect other users experiences nor negatively affect their networks.

Verivon's argument for not allowing BL's to be unlocked is so pathetically lame that it's laughable no matter which side of the argument you favor. In the end VZ and ATT aren't going to change their policies no matter how much resistance they encounter, if the 1% of their users that do modify their phones all cancelled their contracts tomorrow, they could care less.

Hello,

Anybody knows a way to monitor Apps network and behavior wise. I'm currently developing an Application which is part of a system that records Apps behavior from various phones on the network.

I'm interested in Network metrics of the App in particular, I've read some articles saying that Google's API could provide such Information about the running application, but haven't got any guidance where to start.

Hi

I have an XDA II with wm2005 Rom version 3.33a.Buzz on it.

I also have voice command version 1.6.

I would like to get a handfree kit for taking and making calls. But I would also like to play mp3s on my car radio.

Is this possible and if so what is the best solution.

All advice welcome.

Thanks in advance.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] SaBo:
You will need a car kit supporting the A2DP profile as well as the handsfree profile.

And your XDA II should run at least at 400 MHz, better at 472 or even 530 MHz since BT audio streaming needs loads of processing power (don't ask me why).

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demon148:
Apart from what I have said I have the done, the only other thing is to try and re-flash the pre-rooted rom, other that as far as I know is starting from scratch, but I follow a simple procedure when flashing mine.

Stick Firmware 108 on >> Download SuperSu and Root Checker >> Use EasyRoot to root phone >> Use Recovery Tool >> In Recovery put lollipop on >> Wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache >> Install Pre- Root Lollipop >> Wipe Dalvik Cache and Cache >> Format >> Reboot >> Do Backup. Then setup your phone and it should have worked, but you might have to reinstall recovery.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demon148:
Ok so I have had to re-root my phone after doing something stupid, and kept getting this error no matter what I did this time. I did a quick search and found that apparently it is harmless, I have left it and went on to setup the phone.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alwaysbelieve1:
Yep me too. All better now.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demon148:
Ok so I have found a small way around this, but it is a pain. When I get this error, I have already flashed the lollipop rom and am trying to format before restarting so I have a clear canvas to work with, but it won't let me, so what I have to do is go to wipe and then advanced wipe as I know format data gives me a error. Select Dalvik, System, Cache, Data, Internal Storage and wipe them, you may have to do data and internal storage a few times to get it right as it sometimes gives me a error still. After that you will need to re-flash lollipop as you will have no OS on there and if you restart or shutdown you will not be able to boot your phone.

I take no responsibility if anything should happen trying this.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] katipo:
Awesome! Two questions though:

1) Are you sure this works for the sm-n900k using Lollipop? The firmware you've linked to has kitkat in the filename, and the root software is listed as being for the sm-n900s.

2) If it does work for the sm-n900k on Lollipop, can I just skip to step2 and get root on the stock ROM (i.e. without flashing a new recovery)?

Thanks for your help with this.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sparky vicky:
1) Sure it will work on lollipop on sm-n900k no doubt. I just rooted with kitkat file dude.

2)you have to flash recovery then only u will able to root!:D

I have a Note 3 N900S -- with what I would say is the latest firmware, which I used ODIN to flash. Android version 5.0

Thanks to the above -- I NOW have Root! Thanks!

I can not say if CWM is difficult to install or not. Before finding this post on XDA, I unsuccessfully tried rooting with Kingo root tool. My Note 3 locked up and would not complete booting, and I was forced to Odin my firmware again. However Kingo did leave me with CWM installed. I have no idea -- if CWM would have been easier to directly install. After trying some other attempts, eventually I found this post on XDA. This worked for me. I now have Root.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] GoGoCebu:
I was hasty. Yes I have Root. However, when I attempted to use the CWM in recovery - it looked like about half of the menu options disappeared. After I left CWM, my N900S would no longer boot properly.
