[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobbyHenceMcGee:
Only way to get root on 5.1.1 thus far is by flashing TWRP recovery.

If you are an amateur to this sort of thing I would highly suggest not to do that.

It will void your warranty permanently by tripping KNOX which can't be "un-tripped"

May I ask why you think you need/want root?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hlm19:
I want to root my galaxy s6 as I see some good custom roms and want to try them.I've had some android phones before like the galaxy note 4,galaxy note 3,htc one m8 and galaxy nexus and rooted them.Just curious on how to root my gs6 with the XXU2BOGG firmware.Does the 5.1.1 root method supports my firmware?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobbyHenceMcGee:
Okay then, as long as you aware of the risks..

Rooting isn't device dependent, it's just software. It's supported on any firmware as long as you have TWRP installed. It just installs SuperSU for you into the system files.

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/orig-development/twrp-t3080940

Pretty sure TWRP is supported on all models of S6/Edge, they all share the same hardware as each other.

Just flash it with Odin version 3.10.6.

Grab it here ZeroFLTE represents all S6 models except Sprint model which require their own special one (no idea why)

You then follow the Odin install method, making sure you're using 3.10.6. Otherwise more than likely will not work.

After installation of TWRP and then booting into TWRP you will be faced with the "SuperSU is not installed, would you like to install it?"

.. And done.

Er, actually I think that appears when when you go to restart via TWRP menu :P

But yeah.. best of luck, don't blame me if your phone explodes into a fire ball that goes nuclear and destroys the world.. Or simply bricks it :D

Edit: Wait are you talking about the Chainfire root method? If you are you may as well not even consider that if you're planning on custom firmware installs.. TWRP is your best bet because it isn't device/firmware specific like CF. And you need TWRP for firmware installs anyway..
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hlm19:
Thanks mate!So twrp now supports 5.1.1?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobbyHenceMcGee:
Welcome! TWRP has supported 5.1.1 since the latest version: 2.8.7.1. Change log is in the second post here. Take care and have fun :)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hlm19:
Thanks again!But I thought the only way to root the gs6 with 5.1.1 is by using the unikernel something?as 5.1.1 is different than 5.0.2.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobbyHenceMcGee:
Not sure about that.. Perhaps install unikernal first just to be sure :P

Okay so go to the last page or two of the TWRP thread and start reading
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hlm19:
Yeah,just checked and have to flash unikernel first and then the twrp via odin.If I root using this twrp method,it supports my 5.1.1 firmware right?Sorry for lots of asking.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobbyHenceMcGee:
Assuming it doesn't boot loop with unikernel (all reports say it's fine) then yeah you won't have any dramas with root via TWRP.. Like I said it's just software, the boot loop comes from Samsung being slippery Gypsies and modifying their kernels to basically stop people from modifying system partitions. Hence the need for a custom kernel to bypass that crap. You'll be fine :P
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hlm19:
Yeah,and if I need to unroot it,I do just flash the official firmware via odin?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobbyHenceMcGee:
Sorry for delayed response.. Yes flashing a firmware tar. md5 will reset the system partition back to full stock and replace the recovery, kernel, modem etc.

Just download one corresponding to your device ie.. SM-G92XX where the first X is either a 5 or 0 and the second is the country or region the phone was intended for. I keep the latest firmware for my device and country (not carrier because it has too much bloatware) around at all times to undo any screw ups and start again :P

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] user700512:
Beware that nAa's 2.6.32.61 together with this ROM does not have the bluetooth working in X8. Beware also that "toggle signature verification" is needed in CWM before flashing the zip (error if not).

Also, the ext4 support is a PA. Trying to use the "built-in" A2SD failed to mount the ext4 partition, although recognized - no nerves to play with junk - went for S2E. Installing S2E is possible, but during the initial installation and 1st reboot causes kernel panic (stuck at half-drawn nAa logo and red led), then after moving all data to sd-ext, the next reboot causes boot loop (self-reboot loop after nAa logo fully drawn). Fortunately just taking the battery out and putting back when kernel panic or reboot loop brings back normal boot and startup in both cases.

Having been happily using one of the popular WM6 roms for a while now, I'm trying to load on one of the official WM6 roms. The problem is, I can never get past the "Verifying the information on your Hermes...Please wait..." and then Update Error [260].

When I run the update, it reboots the device to the bootloader and has the following info:

HERM100

IPL-SSPL by Des

HERM100

SPL-1.09.ds

However, when I boot the phone into the bootload by holding down the ok and power button's while resetting, I get the following BL details:

HERM100

IPL-1.01

HERM100

SPL-1.06

I cannot get any other roms at all to work on the phone. I can't get the Hard SPL to load on the phone, I can't perform any sort of upgrade at all :(

Sincerely hoping I don't have to live with this rom for the rest of my life.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Caillin:
Ok, I think it might be a Vista issue. Just tried on a whim on a workmates Windows 2000 box, and it's flashing now.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Broken:
Yes, Vista drivers do not work woth the custom flash RUU's. There is a way to make it work on Vista by replacing some of the drivers, but is kind of a pain.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Caillin:
Sounds like I'll just stick with using another box.

Really starting to regret jumping the gun on the Vista install. Ah well ,thems the breaks.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Broken:
Yes, but as far as I am aware, the drivers in the WMDC are not compatible with the custom RUU's made to flash unnoficial roms.

Before you try and flash anything else onto the phone you really want to get HardSPL on there, so i'd concentrate on trying to get that installed.

Is the phone sim/cid unlocked? which rom did you manage to flash?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Caillin:
I have the Hard SPL, but didn't load that on the 2k box. I just loaded the latest WM6 dopod rom. All working well so far.

If I understand correctly, loading on the HardSPL will just change the bootloader process, and not the actual rom?

[Moto G 2015 Accessories] alpine101:
The main thing that's missing for me on this is the same thing that was missing on my XT1032, a QI charging ability. I was able to add a charge coil inside the XT1032 by making a very minor cutout in the bottom of the back to let the cable out and loop it to the microusb.

The 2015 version has a small panel over the area of the microusb, with 3 screws. At first sight it looks as though this is to make replacing the port easy, but if you take them off, you find it's just over a metal cover attached to the main board. I don't really see what it's for, but it might make a convenient space to loop the cable from the charge coil into, assuming there's enough space to fit it. I've ordered one from China, so it will be a couple of weeks before I find out:)
[Moto G 2015 Accessories] nelsonw:
Yes, is for that or can be used for that. Look for a teardown video that shows that. USB and audio can be easily repaired and moded.
[Moto G 2015 Accessories] alpine101:
Actually, while the little plastic cover comes off easily by removing the 3 screws, the usb port is on the other side of the board and the back is protected by a metal cover. It doesn't look easy to remove without a full stripdown. The only thing of interest under the plastic cover is what looks like a reset button, but I haven't pressed it!

I've now added a charge coil from my old Moto G and left the internal cover off so the space can be used to fold the cable. I also had to carefully trim the top of the coil module to provide good clearance to the camera. But it's all in and working OK now with the cover fully closed.

Unlike the old Moto G, this one will charge from the coil OK without needing to install the kernel hack app to enable this to work.

Mine came in boring white from Amazon, but I bought the Oxford blue back cover and I think it looks really good.

Lets see if I have it...It looks like you did not remove anything but back custom plastic cover of the Moto G3. You did not bother the 3 screw plate. Correct?
[Moto G 2015 Accessories] alpine101:
I did take the plate off to give a bit more space to fold the cable into. It doesn't serve any useful function. There is a need to keep the coil lower down than the centre on this phone because of the moulding with the Motorola badge, so there is some spare cable length on the coil which needs to be folded up tidily.

If you want to use USB you must take the head out of usb port, not necessarily remove charging coil totally.

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surrealjam:
Hi there

I bought a Moto X 2014 last week, and I have the stock, unrooted 5.1 update (23.16.1).

Today, I had an issue where the phone was not automatically connecting to my car's bluetooth stereo. Tried manually reconnecting to the Moto X through the car's system but it kept saying "unable to connect". I decided to switch the bluetooth on the phone off and back on again - it switched off OK, but when trying to switch it back on, it would move to the "on" position for a second or two and then go back to "off". Tried it a few times but the only thing that got it working again was a reboot.

Just wondering if this is likely to be a one off or a common issue on the handset? I have read about people having issues with skipping audio but this was just bluetooth not working at all.

Thanks

James
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptir:
I've run into this on my Moto X and my wife has seen it on her Nexus 5. It just seems to happen if you keep Bluetooth on for a long time and then toggle it. I've found that rebooting every few days avoids a number of issues in Android in general.
