Hey guys, just picked up the Note 5 last week. Loving it so far. But what's the current state of Samsung repairs and the phone being rooted/KNOX tripped?

With my S5 they were super picky about it at the Samsung service centre. I was rooted (but KNOX not tripped) and they refused. They only fixed my phone after I had flashed stock and showed them the status was "Official", even though they weren't doing any software-related fixes.

Anyway, I'm happy with stock at the moment, just wondering for down the road in case I need a warranty repair.
[Galaxy Note5 General] jon3sh:
From my previous experience once they see custom status or x1 in download mode they will not even touch and simply say device is tampered.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Brava27:
I've been to Samsung repair in Mississauga with 3 rooted devices and all were fixed without questions or hassle. 2 were broken screens and one was for motherboard repair. I will always root. All repairs were free too.

[Galaxy Note5 General] biomech91:
No way! I went to that same repair centre for an issue with my S5's screen, but they refused at first because I was rooted. So I had to flash stock and then they did it. It was free and they repaired it in less than an hour (really convenient), but they were definitely stingy about the device status. Maybe I just got a strict employee!
[Galaxy Note5 General] Brava27:
Well I actually flashed to stock in all cases just in case they gave me issues. It was rooted but stock, erased etc....

Let's hope this is true!! Marshmallow for the Note 5 on March 9th!! http://mobilesyrup.com/2016/02/17/t...he-galaxy-note-5-in-march-galaxy-s6-in-april/
[Galaxy Note5 General] biomech91:
Great news. Let's hope Rogers pushes it out around the same time as Telus will.
[Galaxy Note5 General] FunkyMcBain:
Man these phones are tough. I totally dropped it without a case in a parking lot the other day from about chest height. Bounced a couple times and slid along on the screen protector. It's really none the worse for wear, a couple dings on the frame but that's it. Very impressed by that.
[Galaxy Note5 General] :
The thing I miss most and completely underestimated was how much space I use on my phone.

I'm continuously deleting videos and all. SMH if I knew I were going to end in this situation I would've gotten Note 4 instead of 5 and then straight to Note 6 (which from looks of S7 will get memory slot)
[Galaxy Note5 General] force70:
It doesn't matter, anyone (like myself) on rogers can flash telus firmware.

The Canadian firmware is pretty much the same and interchangeable between carriers just like on the note 3 and 4.

With the warranty, did you need a proof or purchase

---------- Post added at 09:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 AM ----------

Do you guys think that the upcoming S7 is worth it over the Note 5, especially with that price tag?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Brava27:
No proof of purchase. They lookup the serial number. Just walk in to a Samsung repair center. That's it. I've had broken screens and Bluetooth fixed no problems. Free.

Hey guys good news, got my phone repaired by Samsung for LTE connectivity issues. Apparently they replaced the PGA and other BGA failure (anyone know what that is?)

I brought it to Roger's stock but with Knox 0x01 and it's back to Knox 0.

Can anyone confirm whether the issue that was fixed was due to rooting the phone? I got lucky this time around so I really don't want to root again until my warranty is up.
[Galaxy Note5 General] force70:
No clue what lga and bga are but Ive rooted a ton of devices and have yet to see any failures as a result.

Highly unlikely root caused your problem imo.

I know its N5 thread but who else waiting for Note edge 2? :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] htc fan89:
Dont think that will happen
[Galaxy Note5 General] Brava27:
Me neither.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Devhux:
I've rooted my phone only to use the Deep Sleep fix app (phone was rooted before I got it, but was flashed back to stock).

Not sure if it's worth it to flash a different kernel or anything. I've actually been fairly happy with stock, and may just wait until we get Marshmallow
[Galaxy Note5 General] htc fan89:
Anyone switching to s7 edge? I got it preordered but deciding if im going keep it.
[Galaxy Note5 General] jon3sh:
Looks nice but into bigger screen. I hope they will make s7 edge pus soon Im thinking of getting. :D
[Galaxy Note5 General] force70:
Love the 820 and having sd card again but a 5.5" screen would be too small with a normal screen let alone the edge screen which makes it seem even smaller.

Ill wait for the note 6

Sent from my Nexus 6P, Note 5, Note 4 or Nexus 6
[Galaxy Note5 General] Devhux:
Same here.
[Galaxy Note5 General] htc fan89:
That's not going happen, cause why would they make another edge with 0.3 inch bigger display?
[Galaxy Note5 General] jon3sh:
S6 edge is 5.1 compare to S6 edge plus 5.7 display so it is possible.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Devhux:
0.6" screen size is more noticeable than 0.3". I agree that Samsung probably won't release a plus version of the Edge this time.
[Galaxy Note5 General] jon3sh:
How do you guys know that screen difference will be just 0.3"? Samsung will probably make another model of the same line just to get more profit.
[Galaxy Note5 General] yurmuki:
Guys i bought my note 5 n920i from one of US store. It was for my surprise that after opening the packed box the phone was still rooted.

Is it normal for n920i.

Correction: the knox was tripped. Does n920i need to be unlock so they open the box and unlock the pho e and then sell it in US?
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
Where did you purchase the phone? From a carrier store?

I don't think I've ever heard of a phone being unlocked and rooted with Knox tripped right out of the box. Sounds fishy to me.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Brava27:
Guilty. Hoping to get $700 for my note 5 on Kijiji lol
[Galaxy Note5 General] htc fan89:
Yours 64gb? I just sold mine now waiting on my s7 edge to ship
[Galaxy Note5 General] Brava27:
Yup. Comes with 3 cases, wireless puck charger and 32gb otg. It should sell easily.

[Galaxy Note5 General] phantom4u:
When are we getting marshmallow for unlocked Canadian variant?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Devhux:
Telus says March 9th.

http://forum.telus.com/t5/Mobility/Software-Update-Schedule/ta-p/53566

Given that the software is compatible with all the Canadian models, if Bell & Rogers don't update their models you could probably just flash the Telus rom at that time.
[Galaxy Note5 General] yurmuki:
It was not rooted but knox was tripped. Also I did not buy it from any career. It was bought from a phone store.

I dont know it was locked even do not know that 920I are locked or not. So was thinking why was it knox tripped
[Galaxy Note5 General] Devhux:
Does the IMEI number on the phone match what's on the box? (dial *#06#). Was there any sign that this could have been a customer return?

SIM unlocking a phone won't trip Knox. If the phone's IMEI was changed due to it being blacklisted, that will trip Knox as well (I'm presuming one would need root for that).

I'd talk to the store you ordered it from, as either way that's not cool.
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
I agree. All very good points.
[Galaxy Note5 General] biomech91:
Looks like they pushed it back to March 13th based on that link. :(
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
Yup.. Just saw the news on Mobile Syrup.. That sucks!! Oh well, I guess that means I'll have the time to tinker with it on the weekend :D
[Galaxy Note5 General] Devhux:
Darnit Telus! Way to make me look bad.... LOL! :D

(I can live for a few extra days I guess).
[Galaxy Note5 General] yurmuki:
>Does the IMEI number on the phone match what's on the box? (dial *#06#). Was there any sign that this could have been a customer return?

Phone IMEI and Box match each other. Phone is in clean condition.

>SIM unlocking a phone won't trip Knox. If the phone's IMEI was changed due to it being blacklisted, that will trip Knox as well (I'm presuming one would need root for that).

>I'd talk to the store you ordered it from, as either way that's not cool.

I cannot talk to the store myself as one of my friend bought it for me from there. He told me that I bought it from one of the store. He bought n920C dual sim variant as well and that phone does not have knox tripped and that is also in good condition.

I have rooted the phone and installed arya and ketan roms as well. All working good in it.

But from your comment above I got to know that unlocked phones are not knox tripped. So it may be that it was rooted once for any reason and then installed stock rom later.
[Galaxy Note5 General] FunkyMcBain:
Anyone have any of the MM ROMS running on the W8? I'm waiting for the T-Mobile roms but just wondering if anyone has a W8 MM'd
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
Are you already rooted? I was going to say, might as well wait for the official OTA, it should be coming out on Sunday if Telus isn't lying, haha.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Ohhdayumm:
I realllyyyyyy hope it does come out i really want android m hope they aint lying
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
I don't think so, I think the fact that the release got pushed back a couple of days, coupled with the fact that it seems to be rolling out (slowly) in the US, is a good sign for us.
[Galaxy Note5 General] FunkyMcBain:
Oh ya, rooted since day 2 with this phone :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
Ha, nice! Oddly enough this is my first phone that I haven't rooted!

I guess you're waiting for the flashable version of the update?
[Galaxy Note5 General] redz1234:
Funny.. I haven't rooted my Note 5 also.. First phone.
[Galaxy Note5 General] FunkyMcBain:
Ya exactly.

I haven't done too much with my root tbh, I just have a debloated ROM and custom kernel. I've found I got better battery life that way and also lets me run cf.lumen which is important to me.

Outside of that though Samsung did a pretty good job with this phone and the OS I'm impressed
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
Same here! I'm really pleased with it. 2016 is looking to be a good year for this phone.. Especially with Samsung Pay coming out sometime this year! Let's hope the Samsung Pay promotions are just as good as in the states!
[Galaxy Note5 General] Ohhdayumm:
Would you guys think its worth rooting such a nice phone while on stock? Ive rooted and flashed roms on my old phone but not sure if i should do it with a high class phone. Should i wait till my warranty is gone then do it cause im still very new to samsung phones and dont know alot about knox btw wht is it? If anyone dont mind explaining it to me if i trigger it
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
I'd say give Marshmallow a shot and see if you enjoy it. If you're happy with your phone, I don't really see a need to root.

As for Knox, it's an electronic fuse, that once you root or flash a custom recovery, it's been tripped and cannot be reset. Since it's been introduced, people have thought that Samsung will refuse to service your phone even if it's under warranty, but it doesn't seem like they check it (at least not all the time).
[Galaxy Note5 General] Ohhdayumm:
Im currently waiting for mm and as of right now im pretty satisfied with the stock note 5 but ive seen people get crazy battery life while rooted with a custom kernel. Talking about 7-12hrs of sot which is crazy. I currently get 5 hrs sot which im pretty satisfied with but i am very concerned about batt life just because my previous phone (sony z1) was really bad. Btw didnt they say for telus rogers and bell will be out this weekend?
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
We've only got indication that Telus is going to update over the weekend (http://forum.telus.com/t5/Mobility/Software-Update-Schedule/ta-p/53566). But I don't imagine the other carriers will be too far behind. Bell have mentioned that it's going to get the update in March, but didn't precisely say when.
[Galaxy Note5 General] redz1234:
Since its the same phone across all providers I'm sure they will all follow suit right after Telus.
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
Yep kinda figured. Maybe a day or two difference. Won't change anything for people who want to Odin flash the file though!
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
Well, this sucks...

Pushed back to Wednesday the 16th..
[Galaxy Note5 General] jon3sh:
No biggie just simply change CSC code once they release it and we will be good to go. ?

Grrrrrrrr! ?

No Doubt...
[Galaxy Note5 General] thegregulator:
N920S here. Been getting pretty good LTE in and around Vancouver. I've been running 6.0.1 for a bit. It's pretty meh guys. Not a lot different from 5.0.1 that's for sure. The settings menu is a disaster. It's definitely quicker though, so that's great!
[Galaxy Note5 General] Ohhdayumm:
Hows the battery heard alot of people saying it is bad on the new update
[Galaxy Note5 General] thegregulator:
It's a bit better than Lollipop. Nothing groundbreaking. This device isn't optimized for Rogers though so hopefully the Canadian update will be better on battery.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Ohhdayumm:
Alright thanks man! :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] 1011555:
Telus on the 16th, any news on Rogers?
[Galaxy Note5 General] golfinggino:
Let's hope it comes tomorrow I am with bell and am waiting for the mm update before rooting
[Galaxy Note5 General] AlwaysLimey:
Still no word from Rogers. They really, really are terrible at updates. Still on November security patch to boot. Unreal.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Devhux:
Everyone is still on the November patch right now - though I do hope Telus does deliver the update tomorrow
[Galaxy Note5 General] Devhux:
Guess I'll have to wait until it's available for an Odin flash. For some reason flashing the stock rom put Bell stuff on my phone instead of Telus (CSC-related?) Now I'm guessing I won't receive the OTA update from Telus. :(
[Galaxy Note5 General] imsiin:
Change the csc to telus there's a guide if you search
[Galaxy Note5 General] arthvpatel:
Still no update as of 7:30 am est for note 5 on telus

3-5 days? Hopefully the Odin file is available before that. We've already waited a week longer than originally stated!

Delayed 3 times now. That's just brutal
[Galaxy Note5 General] skadude66:
Yeah, quite frustrating considering it was supposed to be on March 9th. Seems to me they'd know before 5:30pm on the day they're scheduled to release the update, that it isn't ready lol.
[Galaxy Note5 General] nexxusty:
Lol.... was expecting this.

Ugh. Oh well. Hoping the next Nexus phone is up to my standards. The last Nexus that was great was the 5. The 6 was a joke (had it for 3 days) and the 6p is OK. Not great.

Just OK.. Also.... I despise SD 810. Any version. So there was no option at the time... Note 5 was best. I can't deal with this Samsung update garbage anymore though. It's much too annoying.

Why is Samsung trying harder to lose our business? I seriously don't get it.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Devhux:
I seriously hate Telus! They originally tweeted it was coming out today.
[Galaxy Note5 General] dgerryts:
Likely the other providers aren't ready yet, so Telus delays to keep those on Rogers and Bell from flashing via Odin...

Just a theory...
[Galaxy Note5 General] kojobaafi:
Lol I'm with Rogers and that's exactly what I was planning on doing today.

Just curious, I know we all want marshmallow here but what is the current lollipop not doing for you that you wanted when the phone was released? Everything still runs fine for me.. A little bit of delay is not going to hurt anybody. I know the precedent it sets etc etc, and how slow the roll out is, but let's be real here. The phone is working fine as is, and marshmallow will just add some features like doze to the mix which is nice, but we lived with out it long enough, I highly doubt its a make or break unless you guys want all the shinies to show to your friends who more than likely won't care.
