After rooting my LG Optimus l90 D415, I discovered that it would not properly install the T-Mobile OTA lollipop upgrade, so now I am attempting to flash the LollipOptimuS .kdz. However, the instructions to do so indicate that I need to first flash the 20b bootstack, and since I am very much a novice, I have no idea how to flash it. A cursory google search turns up unhelpful results that require me to know more about flashing than I do. Walk me through flashing a bootstack please?

For anyone using a Kernel tuner that can register big/little activity.... does ANYONE see the big ever being ramped at all? mine shows deep sleep for about 99% of the time I use my phone and its kinda pissing me off because the phone does lag at times, and if the big cpu were to ramp up, I'd assume the lag would be gone. whats also weird is my current uptime is 26 hours, and while my "little" set shows that as the uptime, my big only shows 7 hours.

T-Mo, stock, rooted...

I've been wondering this for a while. Lots of lag issues and missed taps (for me) seem as if processor scheduling isn't being handled efficiently.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisokaly:
FWIW it hasnt mattered what gov I've used... ondemand, interactive (which was the stock setting) both of these, no big core being used at all
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedOCtobyr:
chrisokaly, what are you using to monitor this? I'm using CPU Spy 0.4.0, and it has never made a reference to 1.8GHz. The highest it ever shows is 1440MHz.

But using CPU-Z (which only shows live data, while you're looking at it, not history), that does at least acknowledge the 1.82GHz cores. I'm not sure if I've seen them hit 1.8, but I don't look at CPU-Z often.

Mine is Verizon, VS986, not rooted.

My g900t with 5.1.1 is rooted. I'm looking for roms with better battery life. Do I need one that works with lollipop or can I use one based on kitkat? I don't understand why it matters since I will be flashing it.

If anyone can recommend any custom roms that would work for me, and that are for good battery life, let me know. As rooted, I've debloated, and Im using nova launcher, and I'm getting about 6hrs screen on time. I'd like more. The phone seems to drain fast in standby too.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kelemvor33:
Just got the G3 on Monday and immediately am having some trouble. When I plugged it into my car charger it didn't recognize that it was plugged in. If I plug it into some other chargers I have at home it also doesn't recognize that it's plugged in. If I use the charger that came with it it works fine. If I use one of my portable battery charger things that also works fine.

Is there something with this phone that it doesn't recognize that it's plugged in unless it receives a certain amount of power coming in or something like that? I know some of my car chargers are under powered but they work with my GS3 and GS5 just fine. They just take longer to charge up.

If I need to get better car chargers I will but just wanted to see if this is a known issue or not.

Thanks!

Samsung needs to allow all apps in multi window without root, and android needs a full device backup procedure.

Sure you can let the play store put your apps back but it doesn't restore the data.

I may be able to live without root on the Note if it had those two things.

I'd really miss lmt and xposed though.

It stated in the article that rooting would only disable the Samsung Mobile Payments app.
[Galaxy Note5 General] daftlush:
Thats jst silly, you should be boycotting big red and the att. seriously, tmobil is a phone junkies best friend. 3 upgrades a year with jump on demand and they couldnt care less if your bootloader is unlocked or knox has been tripped on sammy. all they care about is 1 2 3, turn on, screen is not cracked, no water damage. plus t mo has volte, wifi calling, and lowest prices. I was big red for almost a decade, from back when it was LA cellular or airtouch, cant remember. THen i gave up the best reception in america for great reception in my area and a company that doesnt try to screw me at every angle. love tmo so much i actually bought some stock in it. but that was also because i think leger is hilarious and i wanted to vote for him with my wallet.
[Galaxy Note5 General] DarkWolf747:
I agree... I find it bizarre that iOS has proper backups, as did my old old blackberry (couldn't even tell anything had happened. Yeah it needed a PC connection but I'd be ok with that). The only thing I would add is being able to do things like toggle GPS without root - the fact that I have to go five clicks* to turn my location mode from battery saving to high accuracy and navigate back to my navigation app is insane.

* Long press the location quick toggle, mode, high accuracy, back, back.

At least the international versions only casualty is Samsung Pay if rooted. I'll never ever buy another AT&T branded device again. Would love to switch to T-Mobile but their service isn't good in my area.
[Galaxy Note5 General] edufur:
The simple solution to this is to switch carriers. And when retentions asks you why you are leaving, say "Because carrier X allows me to root without bricking the device." I think once they lose enough customers that way (and losing market share to other carriers), they might start rethinking it.
[Galaxy Note5 General] svengalis:
The only problem is that t-mobile has terrible coverage outside of cities. My only option is to get the t-mobile version then throw a att sim card in there and hope I get good service.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Jacob11701:
Figured since rooting is considered "dangerous" due to allowing access to system files that wouldn't be very secure from an enterprise standpoint

Verizon Wireless Technician using Tapatalk on Note 5
[Galaxy Note5 General] NotATreoFan:
Root in and of itself is not dangerous. Much like giving all users admin rights on a PC however, there are plenty of users who don't understand the risks and take little/no steps to safeguard against malicious threats. Because of this, I don't fault OEMs and carriers for taking reasonable steps to prevent it. Though I do believe this is a step too far.

Like I said, although Sprint and T-Mobile did not choose to enable Root of Trust, our trade off is that we lose Samsung Pay due to it requiring untripped Knox to function. There was a root exploit for the S6 when it first came out that worked without unlocking the bootloader and tripping Knox. Until another one of them is found for newer 5.1.1 (and eventually 6.0.1) builds, it seems root will be out of reach for Big Red and Deathstar.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Jacob11701:
True in everyway

Would love to see this undone in later Samsungs.

Pretty much that. You'll find a lot of VZW stuff to kill in place of the T-Mobile apps. I was able to extend my battery life by almost 50% by shutting down that long list of apps.

Sounds good.. I'm going to be home in an hour and going to go through the list and start disabling lol.. I read the other thread on this, and someone with AT&T chimed in and said pretty much the only files that were different, were actually called "TMOBILE" or "AT&T" so that's cool....

[Galaxy Note5 General] jdmsohc22:
I notice the more apps I disable in Package Disabler, the lower my free RAM gets.. Shouldn't it be getting higher..??
[Galaxy Note5 General] NotATreoFan:
Nope. Android behaves the opposite of Windows/Mac. Free RAM is wasted RAM on our phone. You want it to be around 70-80% full because that means apps are able to run in the background without being killed by the aggressive management plaguing Samsung devices.
[Galaxy Note5 General] elliwigy:
True.

I personally leave mine between 60%-80%..

One thing however when I kill apps I have more RAM available. It only gets waisted when I kill apps however for sake of battery as I do not like apps running constantly..

I have a s6e which was plagued with bad memory managdement but all good now.
[Galaxy Note5 General] TechNyne66:
It's frees cpu useage not ram, thus improving battery life.

That would require a completely open source bootloader that covers all the devices. As the bootloader is also licensed by the OEM.

Nerds' Tunnel Vision Syndrome (NTVS)

There is something called the Nerds Tunnel Vision syndrome, that is someone who mods and tweaks his device to the point that he spends more time modding and tweaking and less time actually using it. The tunnel vision here is that most tweakers tend to lack the wide-angle-lens perspective to see that the industry and technology era we are living in is, by nature, vulnerable. Both consumers and enterprise want security and confidence that their devices, computers, gadgetry, and IoT's are safe from exploits, infections, data theft, loss of credit cards, money, etc. (the list goes on...).

So put yourself in the shoes of the world at large. Most people don't care about rooting, etc. They want peace of mind, stability, and security. Look at the iPhone market share for example - there is a reason why they dominate both consumer and enterprise.

I understand users want to customize and make the interface suite their needs. Did you know you can do this without root and still retain all the benefits of built-in security and reliability of the original firmware - the way Samsung intended? They have highly paid developers working on their software, not developers paid by donation. I trust their software to see me through my day to day usage of my device.

If you don't like your carrier, then move. But this discussion is waste of time as I've come to realize.
[Galaxy Note5 General] garyd9:
What does being a "highly paid developer" have to do with anything whatsoever? Your implication seems to be that "highly paid" == "highly skilled". If so, you are very wrong. I know some very highly paid developers that couldn't write a simple "hello, world" program without introducing memory leaks, and having it crash 50% of the time. On the other hand, I know some developers who have never been paid for development who are natural geniuses at it.

In regards to Samsung's developers, I have some serious questions about either their competence (or perhaps their management which clouds any developer talent) - as they have released buggy software and firmware for MANY years. For example:

the memory mismanagement on the current generation devices. (Hey.. you have 4 GB of RAM, but we're going to keep flushing it so that only 1-2 GB is ever actually used!)

The kernel bug that blocks deep sleep on exynos devices that have KNOX tripped AND also impacts some devices even if KNOX hasn't been tripped. (Once that starts happening on a non-tripped device, the only resolution is to send it back to Samsung or root it. This is based on my OWN experience.)

The famous samsung hard-brick resulting EMMC bug (that "donation developers" had fixed and Samsung never did - even after the "donation developers" sent them a way to fix it.)

The fact that Samsung's current "touchwiz" includes a facility to reboot the phone daily. That stinks of "we aren't competent enough to write stable software, but if you reboot each day, you might not notice."

the endless streams of other bugs in touchwiz. It's getting better, but no COMPETENT development team ("team" includes management) would release something as buggy as this over and over.

I could go on... probably for several pages.

I could agree that the devices today are, for the most part, good enough to be used without root for most users. However, there are certain things that simply can't be overcome without root. As with anything, it's a trade off... the act of rooting a device introduces a big security hole (and both Samsung and Google have recognized this.) Yet, without root, you are usually at the mercy of OEM decisions which are often poor decisions based on income and not customers.

BTW, just to be clear - it should be "Geek" and not "Nerd." There's a difference.
[Galaxy Note5 General] zelendel:
You are forgetting one of the great Samsung software issues. Their self corrupting windows directory from their Wm days that required the BJ2 to be reset and refreshed every few months.

Samsung has never and will never be known for bugless software. Anyone that says other wise has not removed their fanboi glasses.
[Galaxy Note5 General] garyd9:
I guess I was lucky in that I never used a samsung device back in the PocketPC (or any other variation of Windows CE) days. I was "limited" to Compaq (or later HP) branded ipaq's and a couple of devices that, regardless of who might have branded it, it was actually made by HTC.

Of course, that was before Apple "invented" the smartphone. heh.

The only possible root for Verizon is if you have 5.0.1 and use PingPong Root. 5.1.1 requires a custom kernel and you cannot flash one on VZW or ATT.

[Galaxy Note5 General] garyd9:
Folks, if you really want to download the stuff from random sites on the internet, please be VERY, VERY, VERY careful with it. If it requires running ANYTHING on your desktop (notebook) machine, it might very well be a PC virus or trojan.

My suggestion would be to assume that it IS, and run it in a VMWare virtual machine (VMWare workstation is a FREE product - and you can install any modern version of windows and let it run in an unlicensed mode in a VM for several days before it stops working.) Using VMWare (as opposed to, for example, Windows HyperVisor) will allow raw USB access which is needed for adb.

(If you don't know what I'm talking about, then you shouldn't be playing with this stuff to begin with.)

I'm probably moving from my OnePlus One which I've had since summer '14 and moving to the S7 in a couple months.
