[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] :
I hear ya. At&T and Verizon are the worst with locking phones down but they have the best service and that's what matters the most to me. As for your wife's S6 showing custom that's no big deal. Knox hasn't tripped and it will go back to normal when a stock tar is flashed with Odin or SmartSwitch. I enjoyed root on the S6 I had until I tried flashing a modem and it forced me to flash the entire stock tar. It wouldn't allow to roll the modem back. You can go with the Moto Pure or Nexus 6 with Verizon if you want a unlocked bootloader but will have to purchase the Moto at full retail from Moto. I believe those are the only two options with V.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] droidstyle:
You want unlocked BL and Root....buy a Nexus or switch carriers. It's pretty simple. The days of full control over Sammy devices on VZW's network is OVER.

BTW you can buy a new Nexus 6 for 349.00 on Amazon...it still has plenty of support and 6.0 is coming next week!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] hx4700 Killer:
Lesson Learned. Its been 2 years since I was in the market for a new phone and I didnt expect to have to make the purchase I did :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] droidstyle:
It's a damn shame no doubt. I have owned Samsung devices since the first galaxy. If T-mo ever expands their coverage I might make the switch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] mtrain:
What are the possibilities of buying a Sprint version and connecting it on Verizon?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] :
Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think any other variant of the Note 5 will work 100% on Verizon's network. US Cellular was close the last I knew but I think only 3G worked witch I could care less because I rarely use data. T-Mobile might but they could be blacklisted. It's a crap shoot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] TechBSwift:
It's going to be interesting because Samsung is about to start a leasing program like Apple. Maybe they will stop locking the bootloaders since verizon won't be paying them extra money to do so. Just like samsung sold dev versions of the Verizon note 4 and note edge. Those models had an unlock bootloader... If they do that I'm buying a note 5 through them asap
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] darksidesh007:
Sad to hear but.....:crying:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] gaston_garcia:
I've got the Verizon Note 5 and using T-Mobile. It works perfectly fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] PrsnlCrcl:
I think they want to go the other way...use a T-Mobile Note 5 on the Verizon network. This would allow the phone to be rooted but using Verizon service.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] gaston_garcia:
I see.

Well I'm taking this phone back to Costa Rica with me, where I'll use it with yet another carrier.

But I can assure you that for now it's working just fine with T-Mobile.

As far as Rooting goes. I'm sure it will be taken care of sooner or later. Everything gets rooted eventually.

Now I rooted my S6 to try to improve my battery life. But this phone is great with battery life. I'm happy to be free from the battery anxiety.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Rayn1328:
This blows. I had been with tmobile for 6 years just moved horrible tmobile service switched to Verizon and now no development possible. Uuuughhhhhh
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] ljinsane:
NO....the Consumer variant of the Verizon Note 4 was NEVER fully rooted. PERIOD. Stop it (-_-). The closest was temp root.

I have the Note 4 from Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] oneandroidnut:
You and me both will be buying one as soon as it went live lol I remember my dev edition days. 3 am ordering and man the phones never disappointed. A note 5 de omg I might have a heart attack while placing order lol

Agreed. Everybody is like it got root. And I'm like yeah if you call it that but if I have to root every time I reboot my phone it ain't root haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] droidstyle:
does anybody know of there is a DE Note 5 in the works?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] :
I doubt it because when I go to Samsungs site and search for developer none are for sale and listed as support only. When I searched before they came up as being able to purchase, not so anymore. You could try and email them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] DrSeussFreak:
Correct, I own the threads for both the AT&T & Verizon bounties for the Note 4 Root Effort, and NO ROOT is available still.

Samsung said they are NOT creating a Dev Edition again (at least not for public consumption), due to the feedback from US Carriers
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] TechBSwift:
Yes there is!!! It's called the nexus 6p, miss you droidstyle :D:D:p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] HypostaticOnion:
That's not at all the same thing..... *facedesk*
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Jacob11701:
I was monitoring those note 4 forums like crazy, shame it never fully happened. I'm getting used to no root with most of the stuff I want coming in marshmallow for the Note 5.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Kc0r8y:
This is why I moved away from the Note line and went over to the Nexus phones. The last good note was the 3. Root, SDcard, and removable battery. I still rock my Note 3 sometimes.

The Note line will probably never see root again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] holla420:
This the 1st device I've had on vzw that wasn't rooted. I'm kool with not having root it wasn't a big deal for me. I just wanted the fastest and best at the time of me purchasing it. I'll probably wait til HTC new joint if it's trash nexus 6p here I come
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] toskabab:
Everyone keeps talking about the nexus 6p, but I fail to see what's so amazing about it. What am I missing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] :
Absolutely nothing. Having root isn't worth downgrading to me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] holla420:
Well 1st off updates soon as Google releases them ton of dev support and stock android if ur into that. It looks like a good phone. I like everything but the camera hope it up to par
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] TechBSwift:
Let's see if /you keep the note 5...

You are losing the ability to get timely updates. Your only receiving features that Verizon allows you to have. Your losing the freedom to use your phone on any carrier in the US. Your losing xda development. Your losing front facing speakers. Your losing battery life..

The only true benefit of keeping a note 5 on Verizon is the camera and maybe Samsung pay.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] SwordOfWar:
Battery life on the Note 5 isn't bad. Timely updates are nice, but I wouldn't trade TouchWiz for stock Android. TouchWiz actually has some exclusive features that I like to use. The camera is phenomenal and Samsung pay is the only integrated mobile pay service that works at enough US retailers to be viable for daily usage. I've had Google Wallet/Android Pay, SoftCard etc and they all have the same problem of being rarely supported at the great majority of retailers. That makes them completely useless.

The only real negative you posted that I can agree with on the Note 5 is lack of volume from the integrated speaker. This is the only aspect of the phone that disappointed me.

For those that didn't know, there is an accessory and app you can buy called LoopPay that allows you to use the same technology with other phones if you don't mind needing to buy/use their accessory.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] neyenlives:
I'd give up my Nexus 6 for a Note 5 every day all day. I like root. But not as much as I like the camera, spen and a few other Samsung specific features. I went from a Note 3 to my Nexus 6. I like my Nexus 6. Still I wish I had held out for a Note 5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] :
I've had the Note 5 before launch day so it's safe to say I'm keeping it. I've tried a few different Moto phones and don't like the camera, screen or build quality as much as I like Samsung. I don't plan on leaving Verizon any time soon so switching carriers matters little to me. Front facing speakers are nice but not nice enough to make up for the screen, camera and S-Pen. As for battery life the Note 5 kills every phone I have had, I get about four days between charges with about 6 hours of SOT. That can't be said with the last 8 phones I've had in the last year. I'm very happy with touch wiz since the S6 and being able to hide apps with the debloat tool. I've come to a point in my life where messing with phones is just a waste of time and money. This is one phone I'm quite happy with the way it is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] neyenlives:
Completely relate to the "no time or patience" aspect. It's kinda like video games. I enjoy the crop outta them but there's never time or money for such things anymore now that I'm...almost 40
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] holla420:
I love my note 5 i just wished it was unlocked and rooted
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] renee613:
I have a Nexus tablet and IMO stock Android is boring. I like the Note 5. TouchWiz has some pretty decent features and the theme store makes it more palatable than previous versions. At first I was upset about not having root but after not having it for a month it's not a big deal. Most of the things I like to customize are now available in the settings. And I don't see why everyone is tripping on the fact that its not unlocked. Hmmm let me restate that...an unlocked phone is an added bonus but based on my personal needs its not required. The Note 5 is a solid phone. Great camera, S-pen, great battery life, quick & wireless charge capability, and the list goes on. My previous device, LG G3, is rooted so if I get the urge to flash something I will just use that phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] oilfighter:
is the Verizon note 5 rootable now?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] toskabab:
No. Likely never will be.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrMeek:
all this time,still no root, not wasting money on this thing now, got note 4 and been hoping for quite awhile,never going to happen (at least a permanent root that is). So, what would be a good alternative to the note 5? size and performance wise.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] holla420:
Nexus 6p.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Skizzy034:
LG V10.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] XxD34THxX:
If you have Verizon, the Nexus... Otherwise, I'd be leaning to the v10(if only for the second battery and the 200 gb MicroSD promo they have going on)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] :
LOL you know me better than myself. My wife has the Note 5 for now and I picked up a Turbo 2. I picked up the Turbo 2 because it's the last of the Motorola phones. I'm still a bit unsure if I want to keep it but I have 14 days to decide, it's a tough call between the Note 5 and Turbo 2. I can always sell the Note 4 and get a Nexus 6P...

EDIT: The Turbo 2 kinda stinks battery wise and the wireless charging is next to useless so I just ordered the 6P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Rippley05:
How do you feel about the Nexus 6p? I'm interested in how the screen compares to the Note 5. I'm gonna grab one myself in a couple of weeks.

I disagree with the v10 being an alternative unless LG fixed the overheating, screen throttling issue it seems to ignore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] :
I'll let you know when I get the device but from what I have read it sounds promising. It just shipped out so it should arrive Monday. My wife really likes the Note 5. I'm glad because I really don't want to let tat one go. It's a beautiful phone but I want root and a unlocked bootloader witch will never happen on the Verizon Note 5. Plus I get off the payment plan so I can switch carriers if I want.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] holla420:
I bought a 6p got it Tuesday. Man no lag at all. If only there was a pure stock note 5. The note 5 screen is slightly better. It gets brighter than the 6p but overall it's still great probably 2nd best screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] tonybologne:
The Verizon note 5 is indeed root able as I have root myself now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] :
Not Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] toskabab:
You'd be the only one. Care to share your wizardly skills?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Jacob11701:
The note 5 and the s6 edge plus cannot be rooted only because if you do you can't use your phone due to Samsung using knoxs root of trust. Att and verizon opted in for it as a enterprise feature. It is root able but pointless as you cannot use your phone after unless there is a no Knox trip root. Which there isn't.

Highly doubt anyone achieved root. Devs would be all over it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] toskabab:
He just wanted attention. There was another one a couple of months ago. Or maybe it's the same guy. The screen name wasn't worth remembering.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] :
So far I'm happy. It's definitely not as well built but plenty strong if you don't carry it in tight pockets.... as any other phone. The camera on the Note 5 is better but not so much to out weigh the benefits of pure rooted and unlocked android. I'm pleased so far. My biggest complaint would be there is no wireless charging witch isn't that big of a deal but it would be nice.

Definitely but pure android kills touchwiz. It's worth the trade off to be free of Verizon's chains and Samsung's bloat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] holla420:
Oh yea definitely kills touch wiz and feels good to get away from vzw bs with the locked boot loaders and super bloated sheit
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Rippley05:
So, does the sum card from the Note 5 work for the 6p then?

Thanks guys
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] holla420:
Yup. Took the sim out my vzw note 5 put it in 6p and it did everything else by itself. Not editing vpns or none of that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Totaltelecom:
The BS about this is verizon argument was they locked boot loaders because they were subsidizing devices, now they no longer are yet they still lock them down. Knox was not designed for Verizon to molest to their advantage, it was designed for corporate IT departments to have better control over devices accessing corporate networks and corporate data. It's a fleecing, VERIZON GET OUT OF "OUR" PHONES!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] JasonJoel:
I've never seen them argue that it was because of subsidized phones.

All I've seen in writing from Verizon was that the purpose was security, and to ensure they have control of which devices that are being used on their network.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] elliwigy:
which they sell devices that are rootable and as discussed all over xda one can simply throw a vzw sim in a non vzw device and get service so both those arguments are void (not any sim devicebut compatible ones like the 6p/5x)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leitor79:
Hi!

I've been asked to "fix" a "broken" chinese tablet. The tablet won't boot; sometimes it get stucked at boot logo (some chinese brand I think), and sometimes get stucked at a black screen.

Power button+volume UP brings the layed-down-android-with-red-exclamation secreen, but no combination afterwards brings me the recovery menu. It also has a reset button on the backwards. I've pressed it several times, from 3 to 60 seconds, and it only resets like the reset button on a PC.

I've wiped data with some software I've found somewhere (android multi tools, a green DOS menu), but still I'm having the same issue.

I've read about reinstalling the firmware with phoenixcard, but I can't find the right one. I've uploaded some pictures to ask for help.

Thank you very much!

Alessandro Chavez: Good morning! Who do I have the pleasure of chatting with?

Scott Wilson: Greetings,

Alessandro Chavez: Hi :)

Scott Wilson: Now that David Schuster is laid off from Moto, How do we find out if we are ever going to receive Lollipop or other updates?

Scott Wilson: Many that have 2013 Droids are in the Dark. Vrizon tells us nothing, and we are frustrated

Alessandro Chavez: Ok, well to be honest all the Phones around the world will receive the update

Alessandro Chavez: Yes is understandable

Scott Wilson: from 2013 and up?

Scott Wilson: Are you saying that Verizon is still going to upgrade Lollipop for the 2013 Droids on Verizon?

Alessandro Chavez: Well what version of Droid you have?

Scott Wilson: Droid Maxx

Alessandro Chavez: Ok thanks, do you remember what was the original software?

Scott Wilson: Kitkat

Alessandro Chavez: Ok, so yes the phone will receive it, but it is randomly

Alessandro Chavez: We can't determine when you are going to receive it
[Droid Ultra General] ratman6161:
This is no surprise. Motorola can't tell you because it isn't up to them. The ball is in Verizon's court and has been for a long time. I really doubt my Droid Maxx will ever get another major version update. On the other hand I'm finding it works very well for me as it is. I have a Samsung tablet that got updated from 4.4.2 to 5.02 and generally speaking that was a big "so what's the big deal" moment. In the case of my Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 it did seem a little smoother and a little snappier. On the other hand I did a factory reset after getting the update...and all devices feel snappier after a reset, right?

Anyway if you want to know about updates ask Verizon....where you will get a blank stare. For me, I don't particularly care if I get an update.
[Droid Ultra General] br0adband:
Someone actually wants Lollipop on an Ultra/MAXX/Mini? Really? Do they understand how badly it'll screw up our devices in doing so? KitKat is mature, stable, and it just works - Lollipop brings nothing to the party at this point in the Android game, so to speak.

Hell, I was considering getting a new device recently but then I realized all the new devices come with Lollipop and there's just no KitKat to work with anymore so it looks like I'll just keep buying old used devices that run KitKat and stick with 'em.

</personal_opinion_for_the_record> :D
[Droid Ultra General] Johnny Wong:
I've been running LP 5.1.1 for the past month and is amazed at how it renewed my phone. No wonder Motorola is not pushing hard to get LP released, it'll mean less upgrades to their new models. My Maxx is a beast right now. The interface is silky smooth, scrolling through apps that used to choke on itself is no longer the case. Tapatalk for example used to be choppy as all hell, now it is like the phone is reading my mind. Overall, the phone is much snappier. Battery life is at least equal to the best I've ever had running on KitKat, probably better actually. With everything enabled and running on radio the whole day is no big deal. With the screen off, it is draining at about 1% per hour. Yeah, KitKat is just bad memory for me at this point. Its was ugly, and was laboring the phone. The chains have been released! Lol. Exodus 5.1.1 on the Maxx baby!
[Droid Ultra General] fix-this!:
Id almost bet $$ the mini and ultra will never see lollipop or 6.0.
[Droid Ultra General] ratman6161:
Did you do a factory reset or clean install in conjunction with 5.1.1? On a device that's been in use for a while I've found a reset in and of itself seems to make it work like a new phone. On my Samsung tablet I got an update to 5.02 and didn't really notice any performance improvement. Then I did a factory reset and it felt really fast...but it may have felt just as fast had I done a factory reset on 4.4.
[Droid Ultra General] Johnny Wong:
No factory reset, but going from 4.4.4 to 5.1, I had to delete the systems folder. Kept data untouched and had all my apps still installed. Been doing dirty flashes since while updating the Exodus nightly. The biggest difference between 4.4.4 and 5.1.1 is how much smoother the LP UI is. It is like upgrading the graphics card in a computer. Scrolling is night and day as I've said, I use Crapatalk a lot and is the most active app on my phone and in LP, it is Tapatalk again. Scrolling is buttery smooth and that's not even exaggerating. Everything is snappier. When I say it is a new phone, I mean it. My wife has the OG Moto X and I still have a Moto X DE, both unlocked anf still running 4.4.4 so I've done plenty of comparison. KitKat is literally sh1t compared to Exodus 5.1.1.
[Droid Ultra General] bigv5150:
