Please at least take the time to search before posting. This has already been asked and answered numerous times, it's even being discussed on this very page.
[OnePlus 2 General] 0v3rl0rd:
Everything works. Just a quick question:

Every time I enter TWRP and click on reboot, it asks me if Iwant to disable the stock recovery from overwriting the TWRP - I swipe to disable. But even after that, when I enter the recovery again, everytime it asks me for that "disable" option... Is this normal? What should I do?
[OnePlus 2 General] Waterdroid:
Yeah that's normal, I've got that too.
[OnePlus 2 General] Kallix2:
Thank you fore the guide, couldn't be any easier.
[OnePlus 2 General] Gonnelli1355:
I've bought my Oneplus 2 on Gearbest, the unlocked China version. But what does "unlocked" mean? May be unlocked bootloader? Because in last update I've the option for the OEM in advanced menù.

Is there a way to check bootloader status directly from my phone?

[OnePlus 2 General] Heisenberg:
When a retailer says unlocked they usually mean carrier unlocked. You can check your bootloader status easily:

fastboot oem device-info
[OnePlus 2 General] nailibrahimli666:
Big thanks for this guide ... I rooted my OnePlus 2 :fingers-crossed:
[OnePlus 2 General] GCbard:
a few questions:

1. IF i use the temporary installation of TWRP, will it go back to stock recovery after flashing supersu?

2. If it goes back to stock recovery can I still receive OTA updates the same as if I am not rooted?

3. If I can still update via OTA updates, will I lose root if I do?

4. Can I relock the bootloader after flashing supersu and still keep root?
[OnePlus 2 General] Winflo:
Also would appriciate clearification to exactly these Questions.
[OnePlus 2 General] Heisenberg:
1. Yes, because you're not actually installing TWRP, you're booting it from the image on your PC.

2. Yes.

3. You can't take OTA updates with root, you need to remove it first.

4. Yes. But there's no need to relock it, plus it's advisable to keep it unlocked.
[OnePlus 2 General] squall458:
I know this may be hard to answer, but will there be a method some time down the line where root and twrp can be installed without the fastboot and wiping of the phone? I know on my LG G3, root/twrp were so complicated for the first few months and then one click solutions came and then google play store apps even came. Is that likely to be the case with OPT?
[OnePlus 2 General] Winflo:
Nobody can know , but right now you can backup your phone with ADB , then unlock bootloader(causes wipe) and restore back your ADB backup. Voilà ;) data saved

Gesendet von meinem ONE A2003 mit Tapatalk
[OnePlus 2 General] Heisenberg:
Highly unlikely. Those exploits are usually only developed for devices that can't have the bootloader unlocked. So I doubt it'll happen for a phone like this where you can easily unlock and root using the standard method.
[OnePlus 2 General] jirka607:
Can someone post here stock recovery file? Im on Hydrogen OS so i used flash TWRP to install Gapps....(Stupid me) but i want to receive OTA normally...

Hi,

thank you for the awesome guide, do you have any idea on how to enable lte band 3 on the US variant? it used to be done on the OPO
[OnePlus 2 General] rctempire:
Great guide thanks.

However on the OPO you could boot and keep the original Bootloader.

Command used to be

fastboot boot recovery.img (it would boot say TWRP)

Any idea how to boot via twrp without fully installing it to flash memory.
[OnePlus 2 General] Heisenberg:
None of this changes your bootloader. The command to boot the recovery is:

fastboot boot <filename>.img
[OnePlus 2 General] rctempire:
Yeah tried, came up with errors. Looks like the fastboot boot recovery.img (ie i renamed the twrp to recovery.img) didnt work.

However, when in TWRP via your method, comes up as you reboot, replace the default bootloader. Said no and i have original OPT boot loader.
[OnePlus 2 General] dissonantia:
root

do i need to flash Super SU if im using cm 12.1 custom ROM?
[OnePlus 2 General] Heisenberg:
I don't believe CM comes pre-rooted, so yes.
[OnePlus 2 General] Heisenberg:
You both might be pleased to know that TWRP is official now, you can grab it here:

https://twrp.me/devices/oneplustwo.html

And I've updated the guide to link to that build instead of the unofficial build.

Not possible to root without USB cable? I don't have USB-C in my PC :/

[OnePlus 2 General] Grantp:
I did the 'fastboot oem unlock' I am now just getting the phone flashing on and off with the 1+ logo in the middle of the screen and 'powered by android' wording at the bottom of the screen. the unlock command appeared to work but as I say the phone just started flashing on and off. I can't seem to stop this. Can someone please help.

This is the output from the unlock command

C:\SDK\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>fastboot oem unlock

...

OKAY [ 0.013s]

finished. total time: 0.013s

C:\SDK\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>

I can get back to 'Fastboot Mode' by holding 'Power & Volume Up' but can't do anything else. When I get back to 'Fastboot Mode' as you can see Fastboot can see my device.

C:\SDK\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>fastboot devices

5776ba9b fastboot

C:\SDK\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>

When I try to flash TWRP Recovery it fails saying device is locked.

I am also not able to switch phone off it just keeps on looping round trying to boot. I have to push both Volume Up & Down to get it to go to 'Fastboot Mode'. When it is connected to my PC it doesn't show up I can hear the PC bleep as if it has just detected new hardware but it doesn't appear, but I can run Fastboot commands and Fastboot sees the device as shown above.

I hope someone can point me in right direction, thanks in advance.
[OnePlus 2 General] dansou901:
What does fastboot oem device-info tell you? Also, when doing fastboot oem unlock, normally you have to accept by tapping Yes on the phone before it is unlocked. Did you do that?
[OnePlus 2 General] Grantp:
Hi dansou, when I ran the unlock command my phone did NOT prompt me if it was OK to do so it instantly went into this loop. The device-info command is telling me the phone is still locked.
[OnePlus 2 General] vergilbt:
Big thanks to op for tutorial...

All is fine after root[emoji106] [emoji106]
[OnePlus 2 General] TheDrgizzmo:
on developer options check you have enabled the oem unlocking.:good:

when you execute fastboot oem unlock and reboot the device, before flash the recovery, check the next command: fastboot oem device-info and check device unlocked it's true.

then you can flash recovery, remember after flashing don't boot to the system and press "Vol down + power"

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

Thanks for the guide, devide unlocked, recovery TWRC, rooted and AK kernel, with stock ROM.
[OnePlus 2 General] Grantp:
Thanks for reply, I had the correct option enabled as far as I am aware. I can't go back into anything now to check as I can't get past this constant loop. I cant even switch the phone off. All I can do is get to 'Fastboot Mode' by holding Vol Up & Down.
[OnePlus 2 General] Dre4mPT:
Thanks!! Great Post!!!
[OnePlus 2 General] Villelj:
Thanks for this tutorial too. OPT now rooted and running!
[OnePlus 2 General] dansou901:
Can you try the fastboot oem unlock again? If not, does fastboot reboot or fastboot continue boot the phone normally? If that doesn't work, you should get in contact with Oneplus support ASAP.

I don't know if it's 4 hours, probably is. All I know is it is very fast and 10 minutes gives it a great shot in the arm.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unixfg:
The fast charge spec can charge at 5v like normal USB, or 9, 12, or 20v

It'd be dc-dc converted in the phone to charge the 3.8v cell but at a higher current than if it were only converting 5v

The charger with it looks to only do 9v, my moto charger does 12 and I have a cheapo that claims 20v but I've not owned a phone that would negotiate that high yet.

i read a lot of post before getting Nexus 5 last year during summer about his terrible battery life

when i got the phone i could still run a normal day usage

i was reading this article and i add in "PhoneArena.com's custom battery benchmark" a nexus 5 and the result is

S6 7:14

Nexus 5 4:50

PhoneArena.com's custom battery benchmark

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Batt...flagships-stack-up-against-each-other_id70173

not sure if this is realistic or many users has tons of app that drain S6, but if S6 has 25% more battery life that Nexus 5 i would say that is not that bad
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ahmed Al Wakeel:
Battery Life on the Galaxy S6 is about average at worse... but it is good... right now I have 10h 30m off charger and 2h 38m screen on time and 49% left... people just say that because it has the most powerful processor and best display on the market but the second smallest battery on any flagship... but it is more than numbers you know... and I have to say this thing charges incredibly fast... Dead to 100% in an hour and sometimes even less...
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roydok:
Battery is at most acceptable for daily use.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sheldor1967:
Acceptable, but not an issue because it goes from 40% to full so darned quick!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sheldor1967:
I have no idea how folks get such good SOT. I have never gotten more then three hours on any device. Some of that is that I have bad vision and I like it at least halfway to full brightness. I also have a great aversion to turning off any features. I paid to have a full featured smartphone, not a gimp!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godutch:
the only way to compare battery performance of different phones is to do a maximum screen on time test with a comparable brightness,everything else just compares software wakelock bugs, most caused by 3rd party apps at that

(edit: or do screen off music playback like this test did)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonathan-H:
I have mostly everything on except NFC, Bluetooth and GPS (only on when I need them) and I have brightness always either 50+ percent or 100 percent and get 5 hours SOT every single day. I do stream about an hour a day music through bluetooth and 4g to my car, and the usual, Facebook, Whatsapp, Camera use, Texts, hour os so of calls. The phone lasts a full day.

The only reason this phone will have lower than 5 hours screen time is if you're using your camera, sat nav software, or games all day.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sheldor1967:
Camera! I'm always shooting... I do use bluetooth a lot, but that doesn't appear to drain it much. I also turn my brightness all the way up if I'm shooting outside. I hear that Samsung has research going that could double battery capacity, but it's a little way off. That would be wonderful. Until then, I am happy to be able to recharge so fast...
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagrim1:
It's not great but good (enough?) (and perhaps pretty damn good regarding the battery size), and indeed charges hella fast. I came from the Z3 which lasted very long though so I might be spoiled...

I actually achieved 5hr SOT yesterday (and total usage of 2 days) but it depends so much on use. After recharging to 100% and using whatsapp a lot the battery drained a lot faster for example. Now at 35% remaining with 2:10h SOT (and whatsapp and google services being the top spenders).

But yeah
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] al404:
this fast charging is not going to kill the battery really fast?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrBaltazar:
The battery is ****. Very similar to the Nexus 5, if not a bit worse. I use my phone quite a lot during the day. From full charge at 7am, I get the 15% battery notice at about noon. I charge it using fast charger till it reaches about 45%.. By 5pm I'm getting the low battery notice again.

I had the G4 for a week. Nearly full day of use out of that thing with same usage patterns I have on the S6.

The battery life was designed as either a secondary device or for people with a boring social/work life.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] al404:
wow worste of Nexus 5 is very bad, i just bought it so at this point i'm going to test it in a couple of days
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrBaltazar:
I decided to keep mine because the build quality on the S6 is on par with the iPhone 6. I enjoyed the battery life in the G4 but didn't feel I got my money's worth in quality compared to the S6. The moment a higher capacity battery is released for the S6 is the moment I'll be completely content.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrBaltazar:
I was off the charger around 4:15 this morning. Down to 14% already. And it's only 8:40am here
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wow_nik:
Battery is surely not the best. With email sync using MailDroid, I had to charge the phone twice within the day. I don't use Facebook app, so that's a saviour. I stopped using MailDroid and battery life improved.

My usage is low to moderate, and am always on 4G LTE. Last 3-4 days I'm charging at morning 8 AM to 100%, it comes down to around 45% at 9 PM. I switch off Data at night and battery stays constant (maybe 44%). But again, if I keep screen ON for a while, then the battery is gone!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mupet0000:
Battery is about as good as the S4, but worse than the HTC m8. Overall, it's awful considering you cannot swap it out. Unless you don't use the phone much during the day, you will need to charge it overnight and then once more during the day minimum.

I had a few friends over the other night and we were drinking. I went to the bathroom and while i was gone, they decided to put my phone in the microwave (no joke). It was literally in there for a MAXIMUM of 2 seconds before i pulled it out. Thankfully, the phone seemed completely fine to me and worked normally. Then after about 30 minutes i realized i had no service....not only that, but it couldnt locate any wifi networks. I started running around to see if my service comes back but nope,nothing. I turned off data and wifi multiple times, rebooted and turned off just as much, but nothing seemed to work. I went outside and my service came back but the signal was EXTREMELY weak. So i figured it wasnt broken all the way. Then i tried turning on hotspot on my tablet to see if i can get wifi from that. The network came up and i connected, but again, it was VERY weak. Even though they were next to eachother. I took off the back and found two major burn spots. Can this be fixed???

Hi, sorry for posting a thread that's likely already been answered, I tried looking through the forums and I'm lost. I used to be really into the custom ROM scene and whatnot back in the galaxy S2, but haven't really been at it in a while.

So I bought my fancy new S6 Edge G295W8, and I'm looking at how I can go about safely rooting it. I checked CF-root but I didn't see my model number, it seems like samsung's adding in more and more model variations every generation. I'm also on a carrier that isn't mentioned specifically under the S6 forums, so that adds to the confusion. So what's a good and safe root to use? I'm still familiar with odin and flashing as pda and whatnot, so I won't need a tutorial on that, just a good starting point at a thread with a root that'll work for me.

And another minor question, any good ROM recommendations? How's the cyanogenmod support for my model? Are there any good clean roms with the edge features still intact?

Thanks in advance for your help, much appreciated.
