Ya, I don't know why they would swap the phone out because you don't like the software. You could always break it and use insurance to get a refurb...that's about your only option unless someone figures out a new root method.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] gte6495:
I'm not really disappointed in his response, I knew I was going out on a limb there. Just posting my results.

Refurb would be pretty meh.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] mark-in-dallas:
Even if anyone were able to get Verizon to swap devices for them by now any new or refurbed phone would probably have the last OTA anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] brholt6:
I highly doubt it. Had similar situations with the M7 and M8...quite a few people with bricked devices were able to get phones (refurbs) without the most recent updates for 1-2 months after the update came out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] deliberate.dev:
Wishing my carrier was Tmobile at this point.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] krelvinaz:
I came from T-Mobile, lots of signal problems, no calls etc. Had unlimited data but it its a phone first, My VZW S6 has been fine. Rooted and didn't allow the OTA until I found out it was poison, didn't drink that juice...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] anewday:
You can always try to sell the phone and take a loss to buy another one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] gte6495:
I am going to live with this for now, I don't have any real problems besides horrid battery life and no root.

When 5.1 is released I'm sure an exploit will be found somewhere in that mess.

And then we have M to look forward to!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Gizmoe:
Either you are trolling or you are dense. If you have been on XDA since 2009 then you know why you got that response. It's in violation of forums rules and rude to hijack a thread for your own topic. Or maybe you don't think the normal rules apply to you because you are special.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] sam298:
OTA popped up and wanted me to choose a time to install the update. It is not giving me an option to cancel.

I went to \system\app and deleted the folder SDM and rebooted. (You can freeze in titanium listed as system updates)

Not sure if this is enough so OTA will not autoupdate. I read somewhere it will come back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] :
Enter recovery mode and clear cache to remove the downloaded update. Deleting SDM will stop them from coming but will not remove the downloaded update. Once you get rid of the update you won't be nagged again unless you Odin back to stock of course.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] sam298:
Thanks. Since I chose 10pm tonight for updating as it won't let me to cancel, I was worried - thought it might have already downloaded the ota.zip. Tried root explorer but access was denied to \cache folder. So went to recovery mode and cleared the cache.

I went and checked under storage again but I still saw 789mb of cached data. Guess it is under secure cache. Clicked on it and deleted it (in the settings-storage screen). It is now 4kb. Hope I can stay rooted.. huh

Even Iphones are getting jailbroken quickly these days. But in the future Verizon phones/tablets will stay un-rooted I guess.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] gte6495:
But the question is: do these help us Verizon customer?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] deliberate.dev:
I've been contemplating wether I should just go ahead and flash these files via odin. I pulled an all-nighter researching multiple forums, blogs, you name it in regards to this "Tmobile" method. I think I'm going to attempt it early afternoon, if I don't hardbrick this bad boy, I'll post results.

Highly unlikely that I'll hardbrick it, I've only managed that with one phone and I knew exactly what I did, plus I have a mountain of JTags, soldering equipment, yatayata.

Oh, the joys of testing!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] deliberate.dev:
After much consideration, I'm not even going to attempt flashing the Tmob files. The Sbin file is a Samsung Engineering Bootloader, and I'm not comfortable effing with my tightly locked bootloader.

I'm too impatient and have been for a week and a half now, I wish an exploit for our damn phones would make its way into the world already. Ugh!

So can I root my S6 OF1 now? Or I need wait more time?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] brholt6:
You'll see a thread when it's possible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] :
It will only fail to flash with Odin or Flashfire. No knox trip just a failed flash happens, I tried about a dozen times already.

Whoever comes out with a workaround first will be considered a God by many.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] flooritnfly:
What if you are on AOF1 and you factory reset your device? Will that reset it far enough so that you are on a rootable build?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] krelvinaz:
No, but if you crosspost the same question to enough topics something might actually happen. Seriously.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] flooritnfly:
What will it reset to then? I've had past devices go back to out-of-box state and build when I do a factory reset........
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Nick281051:
That's impossible. A factory reset does not downgrade software.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] flooritnfly:
Well that must vary by device then cause I factory reset my Thunderbolt back in the day multiple times and every time it brought me back to out of box state and out of box build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] nessnet:
A factory reset will revert would whatever is currently 'flashed' on the phone. If you took the OTA, that is what you will factory reset to....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Nick281051:
No it doesn't vary by device. It may have been wiped but it was absolutely on whatever version you were on before
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] flooritnfly:
OK well as far as my Thunderbolt goes it definitely returned it to the out of box build. Absolutely positive. I'd bet my life on it.

But that device is long retired so this argument is pointless.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] deliberate.dev:
I factory reset my phone, wiped everything and my phone is still OF1. You're welcome.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] DeathAngel66669:
I'm the doofus that just paid $179.99+tax to get another S6 without OF1. Since Verizon's answer was "it's the latest and greatest software for your phone, there is nothing we can do to help you" . So my response is a big "FU" to Verizon! Back on OE2 and rooted. So again "FU" Verizon :)

I may be an idiot for paying more $$ for a new phone that can be rooted, but I'm done taking Verizon's crap! Now to return these 2 worthless warranty replacements that came with OF1 installed back to Verizon in the morning.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] cnewman402:
They actually used to do this based on device. I've been flashing since you could.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] IMMORTALKING69:
So my understanding that we have to be on 5.1 to flash a 5.1 rom right? So there is no way on having a pre-rooted 5.1 rom and flashing via FF over 5.0.2? Is this a lacking feature of FF or just cant be done?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] krelvinaz:
5.1 currently has no root, so you really can't flash anything except a stock 5.1 VZW ROM.

You can't downgrade because it won't let you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] ginkoj:
It should be criminal for any cell phone company, that you buy a phone from, pay it off, and then go to another phone vendor and buy service to not allow you to root a phone! I have a Samsung j7v that has 16GB of ram. 15.5 of it is full of Verizon Crap I cannot delete! Another J7u that I now own has only 13GB of every program I want to run! Doesn't screem "NO RAM" every time I install or download something! Verizon is a piece of crap! Their bastardizing of their phone software is criminal and the originators of the code should hold them libel!

I have a weird problem with my S5 900f running Lollipop BTU. Rooted with chainfire. Issue is that after rooting when i restart my phone it sometimes says "android is updating and then everythig starts crashing....system is not responding etc etc" i have disabled sytem updates aswell . First i thought it was cuz of Twrp and i flashed stock recovery with flashify but still happened today.........it happens randomly while restarting my phone and then if it gets stuck i have to go to recovery and hit "clear cache and clear update from cache" to be able to boot.....i have also tried different firmwares any clue why this might be happening?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Petreion:
You have to flash stock firmware with odin but first you have to full wipe with twrp recovery end after flash firmware because your root is filed end after you may try to root again

hi guys

i got this phone ( galaxy core prime - s820L ) and tried to use it with gsm card

but there is no network shown !!

when i checked the network mode it shows just LTE / CDMA and CDMA

is there any way to make it work with gsm networks ??

please guide me

thanx in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] NLatona:
While the Samsung Galaxy Core Prime does have a SIM card slot, it is a CDMA phone. Switching the SIM for a GSM card will not do anything. I have had two phones that required SIM cards, that are CDMA. My other was a ZTE Warp 4g. While there are ways to transfer to other CDMA networks, swapping the SIM will do nothing for you.

Hi guys, I'm facing a problem with my OPO. Last week I lost my Idea, Wi-Fi and mobile network but yesterday I managed to restore them. The problem is that now I'm on oxygen os and when I try to change rom (like nightly or cos 12), my phone get stuck in bootloop. I've tried to flash via twrp and via fastboot. What can I do to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance ;)
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Exactly what have you flashed with fastboot?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bobbi lim:
Do a full wipe in TWRP (make sure it's TWRP and not OxygenOS's recovery) and you're good to go ahead and flash other ROM :cowboy:
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
That isn't the best option, the best option is using fastboot to flash the stock images. Especially considering the IMEI issues he's had, and the issues with ROMs not booting.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bobbi lim:
Yes I did thought of that but I took into consideration that he might have some data (like pictures) that are important to him so the best way is to at least get the phone up and running before I recommend a fastboot wipe with factory images.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
His data is perfectly safe, I'd just advise him not to flash the userdata.img and his internal storage won't be wiped. No doubt about it, the right option for him is flashing the stock images.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bobbi lim:
The last time I got into a similar situation as him, I didn't flash userdata.IMG but everything wouldn't boot so I tried out flashing another ROM, extract out all the data and used factory images. But no point debating on which method works. Since we both have the common goal of helping the user get his phone working again but to each his own I would say regarding how to address this issue and I respect your opinions [emoji106]
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
It isn't really a matter of opinion though. In a situation like this where the user is experiencing compounded problems, the only way to wipe the slate clean and start fresh (so any errors are removed) is by flashing the stock images. And your own experience isn't necessarily the best benchmark because I've guided dozens of people through flashing the stock images and not a single one has had an issue like you had.

But recently, I flased my grand duos with an update "cm-12-20150627-UNOFFICIAL-i9082". For the upgradation I just put the zip file in the SD card and using CWM, flashed only the above zip. After that i took out the battery for 5 secs as it was suggested, and switched on the phone. The phone now flickers some 2 to 3 times when booting and it never boots up :(

Hey people, I just wanna know what is wm5torage actually?

I've many descriptions and they are all the same, they tell u it makes your phone work as a flash card. Maybe I'm just plain stupid or there something i dont get...

I appreciate someone explaining its functionalities and uses...thanks in advance!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bapski:
What it is is that it will make your pocketpc a USB MASS STORAGE DEVICE making transfer speeds faster than using activesync to transfer files which is very slow compared to using wm5torage.

have you tried transferring a file @ least 250mb in size? try it and you will experience what am talking about.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dy2592:
From what I now and usage experience, It uses its usb driver to turn your phone as a reader, so if you have external flash memory such as minisd or microsd, etc inserted, and then activate wmstorage, when you plug in the phone via usb, it will show up as an accessable drive which you can easily transfer files back and forth. It is a little faster but mostly depends on your device, so if you device is usb 1.0 like the 8125, then its going to be at that rate. I myself notice it to be a little faster when transfering large files like music or movies because activesync doesnt transfer it properly.

Another benefit in wmstorage is you dont have to have activesync installed to access your files on the phone on your desktop. Not alot of other computers have activesync installed so instead of installing it, you could just activate wmstorage on your phone, connect it, and then proceed. easy
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] xbiggyl:
Thanks!!

Thanks people, I've always wondered what it was for!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jabbas:
It's not only acts like card reader, you can (theoretically) use your internal memory like a some sort of usbstick

Do you have ambient mode turned on? Do you have tilt to wake turned on?

That can make a huge difference.

I usually take mine off the charger in the morning at around 730. I usually do not put it back on the charger at home at night until midnight. At that time, I normally have between 40 and 60 percent remaining.

However, ever since the update, two or three, times, I would experience a sudden rapid drain part way through the day. I don't know what triggers it. But I go from a lot to almost nothing in virtually no time. If I happen to notice it, I do a restart and then all is good.

But for you, if ambient is turned off and tilt to wake is turned off, then what you are experiencing is definitely not normal.

So the 6/30 Tesla build for the VS985 is incredibly unstable for me for some reason...

It's very laggy and freezes up to the point of no return after a max of 15 minutes of use.
