[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldiman:
Solved thank to this post : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2635238

"EDIT: Nevermind, solved it! It seems that when you are in the bootloader, you have to press volume down and then volume up to enter recovery. I didn't know that."

Hello,

First of all , I'm familiar with custom Android roms but I have never encountered something like this before.

So I got my little moto G today, unlocked his bootloader, everything was fine .

Before installing a custom rom I had to install a custom recovery , after that I installed it, I installed a custom rom, after reboot it was bootlooping ...

Ok no problem going to go in the recovery and flash another rom or another kernel...

But the issue is that I can't boot in this custom recovery, so I thought it had an issue, so I went in fastboot and flashed several customs recoveries :

recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.7-falcon,twrp-2.8.7.0.-falcon_STOCK_NOTHEME...

Each time the flash say that everything is fine even if on the phone screen it's written that the " Size is not matching " but after some search it's seem to be not important.

I also tried to flash the stock rom but it won't boot too...

Did I miss something about the recovery ?

Best regards

Goldiman

hello all ,,,

i really wanna ask you for the best advise

should i root my note 4 ?

what would i lose if i did ?

what are the best things i gain ?

does it make the devise slower ?

or does it mess up with the battery ?

and thank you very much
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toofimoofi:
After reading your questions, the answer for you is NO.

Rooting is great and opens up a eorkd of oppertunities and can make ur software much smoother. But in YOUR case, dont do it cuz it dont seem like u will benefit from it :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikkelrev69:
Yeah, the benefits are endless and has few if any downsides. One of these few things could be warranty issues, but that's mostly theoretical I think depending on which brand.

My only consern towards you is that it seems you actually do not know what rooting actally is at all, due to your line of questioning.

Rooting does not do anything more to your phone than providing plain admin access like you got with a pc. Nothing else whatsoever, besides getting you cut off from installing/using many usefull apps which only accepts non root/jailbraked phones due to security/copyright issues.

The upside of rooting and the admin access/control is that it opens up for installing apps which can tune your phone and it's framework to better performance and endless ways of customizations.

Before you even think of getting in to this, READ UP on the matter. It seems like you think rooting in itself is some kind of magic wondercure that makes your phone into a superdevice. And if you have to ask this questions at all, better keep off untill some learning is done. If you do these proceedures wrong, your phone easily dies.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TareqMh:
thank you guys ,

but what i meant there is some feature that could be lost , like ( deeb sleep ) witch save the battery life while the phone is on stand by

and the knox serves

and thank you guys , i have a good back ground about how i can do it , but i should have to ask like a noob to get an answer ^_^
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikkelrev69:
By rooting, You'll trip the "knox counter" in the bootloader to read 0x1 (=customized). The permanent result of this is that the Knox partition will not function ever again. This is because Samsung can/will not guarantee the knox security system anymore beeing intact on a customized phone and the phone shuts the knox down automaticly when Knox counter is triped.

Besides that, rooting does nothing to the system other than provide administrator priveligies.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TareqMh:
can u please let me see your battery life pattern ?

dunno if i am going to lose ( deep sleep ) or not
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jovan1997:
Man rott if u need admin privilegions,if u want to flash new ROM,custom kernel,edit some system files,flash new mod(Viper sound,camera etc)...

Uwill be lose just knox,why you tolking about battery?when u root u have more control so dont worry for battery life...If u install more apps it will be bad....And if u just root,why u will be lose 'deep sleep' or whatever...Even will be get better battery life if flash custom kernel ;)

There is a reason why banking apps and many others do not work on a rooted phones..

I was just making a general statement about people's paranoia not yours specifically. If I was an investment banker, international spy, government official, yeah I might be more concerned, but anyone smart enough to pull info off a rooted phone and know how to use it, is also smart enough to go after people with more money in there accounts than I have. Again, didn't mean to sound like I was attacking you specifically
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikkelrev69:
You decide yourself which app get root access and which don't. This is a very-very faaaaar fetched "problem". Strange evil apps don't jump your phone after rooting, only the ones you want.

If you want to hide the phone's root status from apps which do not run on rooted phones, you can install Xposed framework and the module Root Qloak which hides the root from whatever app you want. I've got many apps like Banking ID, HBO and so on which do not run on "jailbraked" phones, but on mine they do just fine. I even get's OTA beacause my "customized" status is manipulated to official by Wanam kit. Again Xposed framework is a must on rooted phones. Tha only bad is the Xposed issue on Samsung Lollipop. But even this issue has solutions now..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Larrymoses:
Ok this might sound like a dumb question but I'm just being overly cautious to not brick my device.

I'm on build 4.4.2 NCE stock, I'm rooted with towelroot, and I have the safestrap recovery working. Can I just flash any rom now, such as lollipop roms, or am I only able to flash 4.4.2 kitkat roms or roms with [NCE] in the name? To my understanding 5.0 cant be rooted and we cant downgrade from 5.0 to 4.4.2 due to a locked bootloader or something like that.

I already have a nandroid backup created in safestrap and I have flashed dozens of roms before on my s3. Say for example if I wanted to flash the unified cm12 rom which is 5.1 lollipop http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/unified-development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-1-android-5-1-t3066252

Would that be a bad idea or would it work just fine?

Also, I'm supposed to flash in the stock slot in safestrap since romslots don't work right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] FilthyFord:
DO NOT FLASH ANY CM ROMS. You have a locked bootloader and it will not work. Stick with the 4.4.x roms in the development threads here in the AT&T forum. DO NOT FLASH 5.0 roms unless you upgrade to 5.0 through Muniz "update to 5.0 and keep root" thread which can be found in the "General section"

It would be lovely if it's used to root a phone like the SM-G900H (Exynos S5). Nothing so far can root it without tripping knox flag.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlvaroGzP:
SELinux is enforced for root users? In theory, root has total control of the system. For example, file permissions do not apply to root.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShapesBlue:
Not completely true. In order to change file permissions you need root in order to do it

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlvaroGzP:
Yes, but what I mean is that, without changing permissions, root can write to unwritable files and read unreadable files, effectively bypassing file permissions. Also, root can change permissions for files not owned by him, which normal users cannot.

That's very true. But as you know that can only be achieved with root. I personally have the Stagefright fix and at this point don't have to worry about it thankfully

Is there a reason why there are a handfull of cool ROMS for the S6 but near as I can tell, only about 2 or 3 for the EDGE. And even those 2 or 3 are plain looking.

I also seen a thread about if someone could use an S6 ROM on an S6 EDGE phone. The answer was yes, BUT would that break the EDGE or can one just download EDGE apps from the Play Store to re-activate it again?

The lack of Cool fancy ROMS depresses me about the EDGE. Otherwise I love the phone.

So out of 76 Views, no one has any insight on why there seems to be a lack of EDGE Development?

[General Questions and Answers] bigrk:
Seriously, no one has anything to say?
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
As long as they're carrier unlocked, they should all work fine on AT&T. Your iPOS and Note 4 support all of AT&T's LTE bands. The L90 doesn't have LTE, only HSPA, and AT&T's 3G network is inferior to T-Mobile's. so data on that phone will probably be disappointing (but no doubt it's not the only thing disappointing about that phone).

.

They should. I can't say 100% for sure, but connect via wi-fi, and it should still receive updates. I guess it's possible that an update might require a T-Mobile SIM card (even if on wi-fi), but that's just a guess. Borrow a friend's SIM card for a a bit, if this is the case.

I can't imagine why they wouldn't.

It's my understanding that Visual Voicemail is a T-Mobile service, so I doubt it would work if you switched providers. I've never used it myself, and disabled it on the devices that have it. Annoying, unwanted effing notifications.

Screw that. AT&T locks the bootloaders, makes root more difficult, so if you have any notion of root access and/or custom ROMs, stick with T-Mobile devices. Your current devices will work just fine

I wrote a brief thread regarding my phone before...

I'll just give the details:

I'm the second owner, phone died while updating.

Phone was bootloader unlocked, and with TWRP recovery.

As such, baseband and IMEI info are missing, I have the original IMEI but, no efs backup or anything.

Any ideas? I've tried to re-install factory stock via both Skipsoft Toolkit and another Toolkit [Yes, I realize this is no help, now]

I've heard restoring another EFS from another phone may work...? I don't know though, I have two Nexus 5's and I can pull an EFS just to try to get back my original IMEI or I've read EFS Pro could help but, again I'm quite lost and just need a hand here.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedHazy:
In all fairness, I don't know the fine tuned point at which the IMEI was lost but, it was shortly after the bootloader unlock and installation of TWRP. At two points, errors were made:

First: Phone died during an update

Second: I hard reset the phone after the update during which the phone loading and I was stuck in a bootloop, when really it just takes a while to load after a full wipe and install.

Yes, I realize that my actions were novice and especially not backing up my EFS or doing a NANDROID backup. In all fairness, I only backup my EFS or NAND on a handful of phone usually ones I frequently flash or my daily driver.

There's a few threads regarding the same issue but, no one is really assisting much in solving it...

i dont think that you are a criminal, seriously. i was just curious, as on the n5 and n4 that happens often. it really does happen very rarely on a n6. i think the phone dying while updating might of done it. if your bootloader is still unlocked, flashing the factory image might help you. but you will have to do it right, via fastboot while youre in the bootloader. dont use any toolkits, seriously!
