Hi.

Just bought a Meizu mx4 pro phone, and noticed that it has Flyme OS 4.5.5A installed, is it safe to install Flyme OS 4.2.8.2I on that phone to get the international rom on it?

Thanks in advance
[Meizu MX] iicc:
If you want to put International Flyme on a chinese phone, you have to follow this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=62235138

Just got an old xda form a friend,it it possible to modify it and add an internal usb port instead of cradle or the normal connections cable?

Verizon has started rolling out the 5.1.1 update !!! Te build no is G920VVRU3BOG5.

If you get OTA, do share screenshot.. what's the size?

Btw, if you love root access, don't update.

Source here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] dbaums:
No OTA yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] johnpwu:
Sounds good, just came across the news elsewhere, but (obviously?) waiting until someone can root it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] brholt6:
I wonder if a rom similar to the OF1 rom in the Verizon Edge development thread will be possible? Also, I saw in the general S6 thread that they were able to finally get Xposed to boot...still very very very experimental but it's booting...I won't even think about taking the OTA if Xposed is close. I am definitely glad they finally pushed the update, though!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Lacyjpr:
Keep Root or Update?

Right now I'm on Cleanrom Lite 1.1 & I love it, especially the battery life.

But, I don't like being vulnerable to Stagefright.

Do you think I should keep root & wait for someone to root 5.1.1 or lose root & take the update?

Thanks!

--JP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] MrWicked1:
I would wait personally I'm pretty sure someone will be looking into keeping root and being able to get 5.1.1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] hopesrequiem:
Download textra and use that for sms till 5.1.1 is rooted. It has a stage fright patch in it that prevents videos from downloading until you authorize it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Gytole:
Its simple...if you like root...wait...

On a side note, im amazed 5.1.1 is out. I might take the update a week before september to try it out before I sell this for a new Moto Style.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] dbaums:
The 5.1.1 fixes launcher wallpaper issues and gets rid of the parallax effect (wallpapers FINALLY work on launchers)

aaaaand as a bonus it patches stagefright.

so I'm definitely sticking with 5.1.1.

PS what are some ways to root without tripping KNOX or whatever the binary counter is?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] sgtmedeiros:
I don't have Verizon so o have to wait for a stock Odin

Congrats guys, AT&T is now officially in last place for 5.1.1
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] EwanG:
Just forced a check, and still getting the message that I have the latest version even though it is not 5.1.1 - any suggestions on how to get it to "see the light"?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] co.ag.2005:
anyone actually receive the OTA yet? I saw news of this yesterday evening. I have been checking for the update ever since then, but no dice. I haven't seen anyone online actually receive it. How long does it usually take from announcment to download in Verizon land? I used to be on AT&T prior to this device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] technich:
Not even Smart Switch is picking up the update yet, but I haven't tried Kies yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] krelvinaz:
False sense of security since that is only one of the demonstrated ways exploiting Stagefright. There are many others.

Even the Google patch itself the other day to Nexus devices leaves open other issues that they now have to patch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] weizilla:
Is there any downsides to upgrading to 5.1.1 if you're on OF1 since there's no root for it anyways?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] NoFanboy:
Anyone notice any performance differences?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Gytole:
still no root? lol

I'd say go for it, isn't there suppose to be RAW. Support anyways?

Downloading OTA now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Voxilli:
Got my S6 in the mail yesterday and of course it is OF1. I should have known. I am going to attempt to take it back and exchange it for another, but I doubt they will keep opening boxes and reading the version it is running. I can already imagine, "What is a bootloader? What is rooting?" :rolleyes: I really hate Verizon, but unfortunately my entire family is on them and even though the data connection is spotty in my area the call reception is strong which is more than I can say for the other big companies.

So with that said, should I accept the OTA and cross my fingers somebody can root it, or try to return this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] one11sgt:
The one possibly useful feature of this garbage update, the battery optimization option, seems to have been left out of the verizon ota. Typical
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] MarkLI88:
Just did my update here in South Florida. I am not rooted. Update took about 15 minutes, so far no issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Wintergon:
Just got the update in New York. Did they not include RAW image support in the 5.1.1 update?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Cameron_S:
I believe its not in the stock camera app. You need to use something like Camera FV-5 which taps into the camera2 api allow raw capture. This table shows it supports raw on the s6 with 5.1.1 http://www.camerafv5.com/pages/manual-camera-controls-table.php

64 bit Galaxy on Verizon coming from OF1.. Much more responsive after taking the update. Looking forward to Root but until then I'm very happy with the update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] TheCrowing:
I don't know I rebooted mine a couple times after installing the update. It takes a little while longer before I can start to actually use the phone. Once it's up though everything appears to work as normal.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] ethanscooter:
I was very intrested about this update even though I have a tmobile phone on the 5.1.1 update for tmobile you can check enable OEM unlocking and then you can flash things, e.t.c. Can anyone tell me if you guys have that? It is in developer options.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] DeathAngel66669:
It's because t-mobile bootloader is already unlocked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] grifforama:
No we do not. Verizon bootloader is well and truly locked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] JoeP523:
After I installed this update, I did a factory reset, and wiped the cache. This update is absolutely eating the battery.

Anyone else experiencing worse battery life, after the update? I have Advanced calling OFF.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] ethanscooter:
That stinks, at least you guys get a fix for stage fright.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] krelvinaz:
That is questionable too. Apparently not all of the holes are patched.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] ethanscooter:
Then...just stay on 5.0.2 flash some roms with flash fire and wait for root you don't have to but that is what I would do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] MoNsTeReNeRgY22:
So correct me if I am wrong, but for us to get root and roms on the latest 5.1.1, PingPongRoot or someone else needs to find a new exploit?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] animal7296:
Correct.

Can anyone tell me if this update wipes data? My son is on OF1 and might want to update but doesn't want to do a full reset of the phone.

Has anyone been able to root on this new update
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] brholt6:
No, you'll see a thread pop up when and if it becomes possible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] whatnow275:
Has anyone tried Samsung Smart Switch to flash the update and wipe the whole phone (not sure if it's available yet)? I factory reset but battery is still subpar.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] PhallusOfGod:
Agreed. The battery is draining way too fast with this update. If I didn't have a battery case I don't know if it would last 12 hours off the charger.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] aaronmy:
I used it to update my phone, but not to wipe it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] 1663:
Hi , Actually i'm on 5.0.2 OF1 and i want to root my phone , what should i do update to 5.1.1 or mantain OF1 in order to get root ?!?! Thanks i advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] gte6495:
OF1 included a fix for the exploit that ping pong root took advantage of. And at the moment, 5.1.1 is still not rooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] 1663:
Thanks Body, i understand that ! But should i wait for my root in OF1 or in 5.1.1 ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] _anddroid:
It's ashame there still is no swipe up the heads up notifications. :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] ruffnerr1:
I have no knowledge or expertise of this, but I would doubt that anyone is going to work on OF1 anymore now that 5.1.1 is out with many more possible exploits to get root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] trillonometry:
I just had a fresh update and had pretty good battery life. 4 hrs screen on time and about 17 hours down to 8%
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] RedsonRising:
I've always seen that it's best to wait a few days before judging battery life on a new version. Gives things time to settle down.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] templton:
Staying on 5.0.2 until root is found for 5.1.1. Getting good battery life on 5.0.2 and too many important apps require root access. Unfortunately xposed appears to be only for 5.1.1 right now. When will Verizon learn that many people need root access for using productive apps that require it? Our phones and we should be able to do what we want with them...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] BarmanS:
It feels like battery life is a little bit better. Is it me or placebo?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] aaronmy:
I've been feeling the same way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] natypes:
Switching landscape to portrait view is incredibly annoying now. The phone has to be completely turned the way you want it to go or it will not change.

Anyone else noticing this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] youngmack2k4:
I'm sorry to say this but I am very dissapointed on with the S6!

Great phone hardware wise, but the software is horrible open up 10 heavy apps and you're phone will crawl not moention having bluetooh and gps on with navigation and listenign to music...a reboot always fixes it but RAM management is abismal.

I love root, I am on 5.0.2 and have various needs for root (wifi hotspot/ ios emojies/ adblock/ Titanium backup..etc) however, I am willing to lose root which I've had on every device since the G1 on the hopes of having a phone that handles RAM correctly.

anyone can confirm this has been addressed with 5.1.1?

Thanks in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] supersmash19:
Yeah GPS always slows my phone down a lot as well. It's rediculously as this hardware should be able to handle it much better than that. I'm in the same situation though. I don't want to lose root but if the update actually helps with these issues then I'll go to 5.1.1. What pisses me off the most is that you can't roll back to an older version or else I'd try it myself.

Maybe someone can figure out a work around to get the older version back after updating. If that happens I'll definitely try the update myself
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] gte6495:
I'd say the update is worth taking if you are on OF1 and can't get root anyways. The recent apps button comes up much faster than it used to, overall feels a bit snappier. Battery life was bad at first but now I end the day, with 3 hours of full brightness screen on, constantly connecting and disconnecting from WiFi as I walk around campus, and being off charger for 10 hours, at 30-40% battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] supersmash19:
Well that sounds really good and I'm tented to update but the never being able to go back is just holding me away still. I haven't really used root much lately but I feel like add soon as I update I'll find something that needs it and then I'd be screwed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] rmarinella:
I am using this great little app on 5.1.1. I don't have root access, but you can disable just about anything, including Knox! If only I could block ads.

http://xdaforums.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] gte6495:
I saw that a while ago but I've just been settling with Greenify since then.

Could you provide a list of apps you have disabled?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] rmarinella:
The app doesn't really allow a quick list generation. But I referenced a list of apps that debloaters typically remove on rooted roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Squintz:
So is that it? Are any devs working on rooting 5.1.1 on VZW?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] MoNsTeReNeRgY22:
Its a waiting game, if an exploit that allows root is found we will all know :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] el6006:
Damned I regret upgrading to 5.1.1. Lesson learned.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] gte6495:
It's a cruel world. And if you were on OF1 you were out of luck anyways.

I'm getting at least all-day battery life without really trying, and I'm living with no root enhancements. It would be nice but I guess that's the price of Verizon's network.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] JoeP523:
What is Knox for, exactly?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] el6006:
Worse part is I started out on AO3 and had it rooted and life was good until I broke my phone trying to install TWRP recovery. Ended up using Odin to go back to a working phone then didn't pay attention and ended up accepting the OF1 update. Doh. I'm still kicking myself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] 1663:
What if i'm stucked in 5.0.2 2AOF1 no way to root , should i get 5.1.1 BOG5 ?

Can someone who updated to 5.1.1 confirm that the secret menu works when

*#27663368378# is dialed in the phone?

The main reason I need root is to use Titanium to backup app settings. Heard that Android M has that feature. I might upgrade if M is released for Vzw S6.

Verizon users with locked bootloader get very less or zero dev support. My next phone will be a developer edition for sure.

Download of1 and odin it then update ota
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] IMMORTALKING69:
I found the OG5 tar. As far as i know, you cant odin an earlier version and then update again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] supersmash19:
No I'm pretty sure you just can't odin to before of1 because they put some sort of check thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] IMMORTALKING69:
You maybe right there, im not sure. Maybe someone can clarify what will happen. What do think will happen if you odin a tar that is not the latest on your phone? Soft or Hard Brick?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] gte6495:
That's the thing about OF1 you're not allowed to roll back to a previous version. OF1 is where they fixed the pingpong root exploit.

I believe it just has no effect if you attempt to odin back. :(

You can try taking it to a BestBuy. I've heard that the people at the Samsung counter can load the latest firmware.

ok i guess I'll try that first and if it doesn;t work I'll go over to bestbuy. Usually i get it on smartswitch not sure why it isnt showing up this time. I'm not using a verizon sim though so I'll have to wait until I'm home to pop the verizon one in before checking
