[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] trailblazer101:
It has been confirmed that updating to OF1 includes the downgrade protection we've seen in the T-Mobile builds on 5.1.1... You won't be able to root directly on this build, either, since the exploit was patched by this ROMs build date. I will make a package that will allow users on OE2 to to update to OF1 while maintaining root. If you are on OC3 still you can upgrade to OE2 using my tutorial in Android Development.

Can someone who updated to OF1 successfully please try downgrading back to OC3 using the ODIN image provided within this General Thread? Since no one else has released a OF1 ROM/ODIN package I was going to do it myself, but along the way I noticed a change within this update package-- it now includes a magic string header at the very end of the update process, just like the Lollipop 5.1.1 ROMS for other devices that now incorporate protections against downgrading. I'd rather not bone myself/everyone else out of future development if this mechanism is in fact in place.

Thanks in advance! As soon as I have a confirmation it is still downgradable, I will finish this package.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ChadH42:
Odin will not downgrade after OF1. I've tried 5 times using 2 different PCs and Odin failed every time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] seshaz:
Also tried and it's a no go
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] trailblazer101:
I like your avatar xD lol.

And thank you for the confirmation. I was hoping that wasn't the case, but it was leaning in that direction... I'm hoping you didn't update just for this, I'd feel rather bad... I'll change the thread title to reflect this.

Looking like no 5.1.1 with root??? ... guess I'm staying with the stock build when I first got my phone and rooted it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ckelly33:
Why do you say this? Is there a reason why you believe if I have root now I won't be able to flash a developer's modified 5.1.1 once it arrives?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] DrkGhst87:
Had a few "?'s" on that statement. Purely assumption on my part, so take my previous statement and my next few statements with a grain of salt. Ping Pong root has been patched and unless they find another method there is no root on 5.1.1. Locked Bootloader, with no way around that, so no custom kernel to root (a la this method). Right now in order to upgrade to OE2, you have to use a patched version that keeps root, what happens when it can no longer be "patched" to keep root in further builds? If you've upgraded already to the latest build via OTA, you can no longer downgrade. Trust me, I want to continue to have root for what ever the latest build is out there but Verizon/Samsung have been locking things down tighter and tighter and there is always the possibility that an exploit isn't found and end up with no root on later builds than what we have now. Again, all of this is just my assumption and I hope to end up wrong in the end about everything, 5.1.1 isn't even out yet for us so we'll see when it drops.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] GhostOKC:
I know this is probably not the right place to post this but i would be willing to donate a 100 dollars to someone that gives me root on verizon s6 OF1. I messed up and upgraded. So I sure hope someone can get root. I have tried everything.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ckelly33:
I know this isn't exactly what you are asking but I'd swap my non-upgraded (OE2) Edge (128GB, Black) for $100! I haven't upgraded or rooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] GhostOKC:
So I give you my phone plus 100. When did you buy your phone. Is it verizon. And what bugs does it have cause I have heard the edge has some problems.

Hi jpeps3,

Could you give more details about it, and - if there is - a link to a guide on how to do that?

Also, have you done that successfully?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
no.. once updated you can no longer downgrade.. the pit file would not matter if you updated to of1

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Yisroel Adler:

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmontney:
How exactly does someone get started on creating a root? Asking this, I can imagine I sound very uninformed (the quick fix kind of guy). By no means do I think developing a root is easy, done in 5 minutes. I just discovered my new AT&T GS5 cannot be rooted. That made me curious to know what prerequisites are needed for developing a root. Where would I start? I've been developing in VB.NET for about a year, so I'm not foreign to coding (not that VB is used in this area anyway; I'm not too sure why I even use VB).
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shunten:
I have tried many Lockscreen apps from Play Store (Slidelock, Echo etc) and they all have 1 problem. After restarting the phone, it doesn't lock and doesn't ask for the pattern so I can unlock it. After the boot, I have to press the Power button so the lockscreen will work.

I didn't have that problem with the stock-lockscreen. With the stock lockscreen (I have S4, Lollipop, non-root), after restarting the phone, lockscreen immediately locks the phone and asks for password/pattern but with Slidelock & Echo, it bypass it at boot and will only work after pressing the Power button from the phone.

Any solution? Or that's a general problem that non-stock lockscreens have?

P.S. I gave administrator permission for the lockscreen apps.
[LG Optimus L90] Awesome-one:
I have the LG L90 and recently the phone just wont boot past the bootloader. It kept stopping at the T-Mobile boot image. I look up how to reset the phone and that's what i did. Now the phone is stuck at the LG boot logo and wont turn on. Either way the phone was still stuck in a bootloop.

Now I've ever done anything to the phone, no USB Debugging, No rooting, No bootloader unlocking. So could someone please help me to figure this out. I'm trying to figure out how to make this thing work again, whether by flashing or what but the problem is the phone has never been rooted or tampered with.
[LG Optimus L90] ardentis:
What did you do? Are you rooted? Talk to Tmobile. They will gladly take it back and give you a new one because it sounds like a defect. They took back mine even when I was rooted

Yeah I use Cisco VPN for my work, and it screws up ActiveSync at times. Sometimes allows my phone to connect with no problem, and othertimes won't allow activesync to see my phone. Usually turning off the enhanced check box in the USB to PC connections settings will get around it, but not always.

Similar problem

This may possibly not be the solution but I had a similar problem. I have an O2 xda mini s and after several days searching I discovered the problem. I opened up the xda and discovered that where the mini usb was soldered to the board, one of the solder points had come loose. The usb was not loose enough to stop the xda charging. By pressing down on the loose solder point the xda immediately showed up and syncing with my pc. I have now resoldered the usb back down and it works fine.

I hope that this is not the problem as it is damned fiddly soldering it back in place.

Hope this helps
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] loverbadi:
I solved my problem

Hello Friends..

I have solve my problem,

I opened the k-jam and renewed the point of usb port with solder machine.

Now it is well working. Charging and sync.

If you have similar problem so i think you can try this one.

But i think you must very carefully.

Solder machine must be very thin.

Hey my brother has a Galaxy S3 on verizon and hes not real tech savy so im going to flash it to Straight talk. Right now he has safestrap recovery and is running superliterom. His bootloader is locked. He got an straight talk activation kit from walmart and has the verizon-straight talk sim card into the phone. He has no mobile data but can still get regular phone signal. Can someone tell me how to completely flash the phone to straight talk from verizon?

Its merely a matter of contacting straight talk and giving them the IMEI of the phone and the sim card which you already have. No need to change apn or anything else

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
Could you guys , anyone, tell me if you can roam on regional towers like verizon does with straight talk smart phones? I've tried selectel in the past and have had nothing but trouble thus far.

I tried activating an old droid x2 on tracfone and when I got it home it wouldn't roam on regoinal towers where verizon and tracfone dumb or feature phones will roam. I was told that tracfone android phones will only operate on verizon towers only. Since I had verizon before, and the tracfone coverage map covers my area, I assumed it would work. After a lot of back and forth travelling 45 min one way to activate on a verizon tower, and it finally did, I had zero coverage once I got about 30 minutes from home and then again none at home either. A tracfone rep as well as other forums said that tracfone androids only operate on real verizon towers, and at my home there's only regional towers.

So does anyone know if straight talk will roam on towers that verizon normally does? I know selectel did without data, voice only, at home on those regional towers, then something screwed up and it now only works on verizon towers or verizon network extenders which I don't own. Since selectel released their 4g sims, my selectel dealer said that would fix it. But no it didn't . I've been unable to get a straight answer from either selectel or the selectel dealer in my area, he originally flashed it to 3g only which he guaranteed me ws not illegal, but I wonder about that. Anyway, They can't get it fixed back properly.

If I can get a straight talk monthly plan cheap enough, I'd gladly switch as long as it roams on regional cdma towers that I have both voice and data on with verizon.

I just can't afford big red anymore, at the moment.

Thanks for any and all responses.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ScottDB:
Nope - Straight Talk doesn't do roaming. You pay less, you get less... Don't expect ST to do OTA updates either - they won't!

No need for any OTA updates really. As a former VZW user I found out early to never take an ota from big red

The SM-T330NU recovery should work fine for your device, the only difference between the two is that the NU has an IR blaster (right [MENTION=5864662]moonbutt74[/MENTION] ?) Don't use the file named cf-auto-root, that's something else. I guess use either sm-t330nu-Philz-6_58_9-recovery-final.img.tar.md5 or sm-t330nu-Philz-6_58_9-recovery-final.zip

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockStar2005:
I have the T-Mobile Sony Xperia Z3. Since getting Lollipop, a few of my previous issues SEEMED to have been resolved. But now it seems that the only way for me to ensure I get my MMS (photo and/or group) and even sometimes SMS messages is to disable VoLTE on my phone. VoLTE allows you to make calls using your LTE (digital) line, which means 1) You can get 4G LTE when using internet while ON a call and 2) Your calls will use the LTE line which is supposed to give you better sound quality on your calls and 3) The calls will connect faster as well.

So because I have to disable VoLTE, I no longer can benefit from it. I don't know for sure if disabling it has fixed my MMS/SMS issues b/c I just disabled it last week, but so far it seems to have done the trick.

Does anyone have similar issues happening? Any thoughts on whether this is Sony's fault or T-Mobile's?? The Lollipop update from Sony included VoLTE improvements, and I noticed that it did help with Smart Call Handling. Before Lolli I had to disable that for SCH to work, but now I don't. But VoLTE was causing MMS issues before too, and now it seems it still is?

I want to get the Z5 when it comes out, but issues like these really annoy me b/c I have no idea if they will ever get fixed or not. If not, then the Z5 will have it too. I may just go back to HTC as I didn't have issues with MMS on it besides the stock app on BOTH phones (and even on the Samsung S6 Edge) sucking for various reasons, not just MMS-related (Samsung). But once I switched to Chomp SMS on the M8, everything was fine. Now the same maker of Chomp made Textra and I use that, so will prob continue to. So if Sony doesn't fix this and esp if HTC continues to improve its camera, maybe I will go back?

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
VoLTE is enabled on mine and the few MMS's I have sent so far, went through fine.

As for VoLTE I agree it's better to have it working due to the benefits but it will not work across carriers. AT&T and Verizon however I believe are working to enable cross carrier VoLTE across their networks and I believe they are not including TMO or Sprint.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sillieidiot:
your SN is quite familiar lol

iono i honestly think it's like a tmobile problem. i've had this problem with the iphone 6 as well when enabling volte. once disabled, it works fine. i never did quite figure it out though as some phones work fine with it, and others don't.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockStar2005:
Hey abhinav,

It's not really about them going through, it's about me NOT always getting them that's the issue.

I know that it works on T-Mobile. The issue is that when it's enabled, it seems to be causing issues with me receiving some of my text messages, esp MMS ones.

RockStar2005
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockStar2005:
sillie,

Ok? lol My screen name or abhinav's? I don't recognize yours so not sure.

Yeah I agree, but I don't know that for sure. But like I said, T-Mobile is known for having issues with MMS, esp the stock apps on their phones not being able to display MMS messages properly (i.e., you can only see the sender and yourself in a group MMS message, not the other parties involved). This is why I disabled it and use Textra (aka, the greatest texting app ever! lol) instead.

So you had or currently have an iPhone 6 on T-Mobile, and you had the same MMS issue I described above when VoLTE was enabled, but then it went away when you disabled it? Please confirm.

I dunno man. It just annoys me that I can't use it. I didn't mind pre-Lollipop b/c I didn't get VoLTE in my area (Chicago suburbs) anyway, only in Chicago itself. But right after I got Lollipop I noticed that it was working in my area, so it must've been expanded to my area finally. Which means now I actually am missing out on it. It's not a BIG deal, but it just annoys me b/c I notice my calls take a few seconds longer to connect when I make them when VoLTE's off vs when it's on.

Thanks,

RockStar2005
