[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jshamlet:
If you are still bootloader unlocked, install TWRP, restore an appropriate nandroid backup for your device, root that install, and re-run Sunshine.

If you are bootloader locked, restart the phone into bootloader mode and select the RUU option. Then, re-run the RUU. If your bootloader is locked, it should run and restore everything to stock. Note that if you updated to Lollipop, you may have to use Kingroot to get temp root. I meant to suggest you RUU down to the original version (4.4.2) prior to going S-on and forgot - sorry about that.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ned4spd8874:
Bootloader is still unlocked, but even after installing a couple different ROMs, sunshine just won't work. Says it's incompatible. It says to flash a stock sense or near stock rom. I'm on SkyDragon right now...

I'm at a loss. Anyone have a industrial shredder?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jshamlet:
There are probably some T-mobile nandroid backups around here somewhere. Get one, put it on an SD card, and use TWRP to flash it. Unfortunately, I only have DevEd and AT&T images.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ned4spd8874:
Things are looking up! Found a ROM called something like Alex V that was stock enough to get SunShine to work. Also, I was using the original version so once I got it to run, it was giving network errors. Once I installed the latest version, that's when I got was able to go S-OFF. So, now I'm S-OFF, the bootloader is saying Official and locked so now I'm going to RUU and throw it in TMO's face!
[LG Watch Urbane] deedii:
Hi guys,

Do you already get the 1.3 update, unfortunately for me here in Frankfurt im still at 1.1.0 build no. LJZ01H. I was wondering why I havent got yet the update when google rolled it out almost 2 weeks now.

Anyone from Germany able to update from OTA already?

Thanks,

Deedii
[LG Watch Urbane] ozaghloul:
Reset the watch and let it sync up with the phone overnight. You should get the update that way. I had to do this twice to finally get the update.
[LG Watch Urbane] choeysmalls:
I got my update last week, but i had to factory reset it cuz it was causing erratic battery drain. Some days it used about 5% an hr. some days 8% an hr. But since the factory reset, i'm getting about 3% an hr. so, i can make it last for well over a day. I'm over in South East Asia in Myanmar. But my watch is a US model. That's probably why i received it earlier.
[LG Watch Urbane] deedii:
I actually resetted it several times but to no success still update is not available for me.
[LG Watch Urbane] black nebur:
No need to reset the device so many times... The best way to the impaciente ones, like me, is by "cmd" forcing the update... I've done it, nothing much... Adb sideload and it's done! :p

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] travisw0204:
I would think you can flash the tar file to get back to stock out the box.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] DarkManX4lf:
Yeah thats the usual way to do it but I can find the stock tar. Its not on Sammobile.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] rpdeuce:
Is the chain fire suggestion above the new system less root? I'm trying to determine whether flashing freezas kernel will still root ok3. I've seen some say that it does, some say to use chainfire. If anyone has a definitive answer regarding kernel root, I would appreciate it. Just don't want to update and find out I can't root. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] henderjr:
I don't know anything about freezas kernel. What I did when I was running systemless (last week but then went back to MOAR Rom) was use odin3 to flash the huge firmware file, N920PVPS2AOK3_N920PSPT2AOK3_N920PVPS2AOK3_HOME.tar.md5. I would let it reboot when done and setup the phone (google and samsung accounts). Make sure that the USB debugging and OEM Unlock is set (see OP). Then boot to download mode and use odin3 to flash twrp-2.8.7.0-nobleltespr.img.tar. There is a 2.8.7.1 TWRP out there but it didn't seem to like my OTG stick. It just wasn't seeing it. Then I'd boot into recovery and flash BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-20160121175247.zip which is systemless and has the deep sleep fix put in. I think 2.67 also adds the compatibility /su/xbin_bind in so if you want true systemless and android pay to work you'll need to delete that using root explorer. Also now that google looks for systemless root you'll need to turn off SuperSU in it's app, reboot, then Android Pay will work, and then turn it back on and reboot when done. More info on Android Pay and systemless root here. http://www.xda-developers.com/android-pay-no-longer-working-with-systemless-root/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] weavr:
ODIN the TWRP and then flash one of the pre-rooted kernels. I'm currently running SkyHigh which is OK3 based.

Frp Bootloop and Seandroid Kernel error

Hello. I attempted to root my Sprint Note 5 with Kingroot, but i was unaware that Sprint had given it an update prior to my arrival. Kingroot had told me a strategy was available and the first time i tried it, it bricked. Now even when i plug my phone in, i get "Kernel is not Seandroid enforcing", and "custom binary blocked by frp lock." I tried flashing the stock os through odin but it failed. I also tried the stock kernel. Failure. Im unsure what to do here. If screenshots are needed i can provide them. First time I've bricked. We can video chat through hangouts and try to solve this. Thanks a bunch
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] Josephigloe:
I would try to boot into factory recovery and try a factory reset.

What build # are or were you on and make sure you flash the right one.

OK3 flash OK3 firmware.

PC3 flash PC3 firmware

Just try both if need be.

If you are able to boot up you must go to

Settings/about device, press build # 10 times to open up developer options.

Make sure you check OEM unlock and auto debug.

That's were you got the FRP error.

For root go to chainfire auto root follow instructions for root.

Maybe check your download of firmware maybe a bad download.

I also did the same and got the FRP error but I was able to just flash firmware with no issues.

I don't know your skill level but I am just offering the things I know.

Hope it helps.

Chainfire put out CF autoroot it's way easy...

---------- Post added at 12:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 AM ----------

https://autoroot.chainfire.eu/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] SantinoInc:
Dumb questions coming up: What is the model # for the Sprint variant? I'm having a hard time finding it.

More importantly here are the instructions on Chainfire's site:

ODIN flashable devices

BASIC INSTRUCTIONS

All downloads contain .tar.md5 files flashable in ODIN as PDA.

Make sure your device is in ODIN download mode (usually you can get there by holding VolDown+Home+Power when the device is turned off), then start the included Odin3-v1.85.exe file, press the PDA button, select the .tar.md5 file, and click Start. You can find more detailed instructions and assistance at XDA.

A modified recovery and cache partition will be flashed, which will install (only) SuperSU, then	clean-up the cache partition and re-flash the stock recovery.

For the root to work, the device must reboot into recovery. Most devices will do this automatically after flashing these files, but in case that does not happen, please boot into recovery manually.

UNLOCK BOOTLOADERS

If you have locked bootloaders, flashing one of these will probably brick your device - with the exception of Nexus devices, which will usually automatically "OEM unlock" and wipe your data !

Are these instructions accurate for rooting this device? I'm assuming that bootloader is unlocked or is there something special that I have to do? I'm sorry, I'm a bit rusty. Appreciate your time.

OK, I think that I found it: https://download.chainfire.eu/844/C...Auto-Root-nobleltespr-nobleltespr-smn920p.zip

Still need some clarification on how to root exactly if you mind

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] SantinoInc:
Thanks dude, I figured out the version just as you replied. Do I follow Chainfire's instructions as I copied from his site or is there some extra little steps I have to take? Will this put custom recovery on the phone?

Hold volume down + power button. It should reset your phone from the loop. Once it starts to reset, switch to the recover combo...should boot you into recovery.

As for which kernel to flash, if you are on marshmallow, flash this one. It is the most up to date.

Good morning - Thanks for the response but it did not work.

- Holding down Volume down + Power did turn off the phone

- I *quickly* held Volume Up + Power + Home but it continues to boot to the "seandroid enforcing" boot screen

Also - What you pointed me to was a .ZIP file. Even if I was to get into Recovery, since the .ZIP file is not on my phone, how would I load it? Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] weavr:
Ok, let me get a little more info. I'm guessing it is hanging at that screen because the kernel you flashed isn't a marshmallow based one. Were you on PC3 or newer before starting to root? If so, try using ODIN to flash this kernel:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3363287

The key sequence of holding volume down + power then switching to volume up + home + power should get you to download mode...it may just take a couple of tries.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] paustin:
First, *thank you* for responding. I have a freaking brick here, and I really appreciate the help.

- I used Odin to load Aurora_N920P_Kernel_6.0.1.tar.md5. No change. Still stuck on the same screen.

- I am not clear what PC3 is. I did not take a screenshot of the "about" page, so if it is a reference to that, I do not know.

- Ok, I have tried the recovery keys multiple times. I'm pretty quick, and you only need to move my thumb from vdown to vup, so I don't think that is it. I *have* been able to get into recovery a couple of time when I use Odin to flash TWRP 3.0.0.1, but again, if the file isn't already on my phone, how does that help?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] paustin:
<< Resolved >>

I use CF's marshmallow (CF-Auto-Root-nobleltespr-nobleltespr-smn920p) immediately followed by TWRP (twrp-3.0.0-1-M-test4-nobleltespr.tar.tar), rebooted and it came up rooted with no data loss.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note5] travisw0204:
I'm assuming you are on MM so these steps will help you achieve the hot spot mod without rooting...

1. If on PD1 or PD2 reboot to Recovery and wipe factory reset however many times you see fit. I only did it once.

2. Reboot to Download Mode and flash PC3 tar file via Odin

3. Once phone reboots to Welcome Screen power phone off by pressing and holding Power button

4. Reboot to Download Mode and flash OK3 via Odin

5. Once phone reboots it will sit at splash screen

6. Reboot to Recovery and wipe Factory Reset however many times you see fit. I did this once.

7. Let phone reboot

8. Boot back up and follow the below steps

1a. You need your MSL number for this. You can get that from Sprint chat. Just tell them you are a developer and need it for an app you're working on

2a. Dial ##3282# and go to Edit

3a. Go down to APN Settings, select it and change the first 2 selections( Go into each...Scroll down to default,mms and add the word dun after MMS...It should look like this...default,mms,dun with no spaces in between

4a. Hit Save after you change each category and you're good to go

5a. Now take the OTAs to MM. DO NOT update your Profile or it will wipe out the mod and you have to do these steps all over again. You can update PRL as many times as you like but Profile wipes the mod out. I've even had Sprint push Profile Updates to me and the mod stuck. I'm guessing it only wipes away the mod if you do a Profile update manually from your handset.

Hope this helps...Good Luck.

Rooting without a PC

Hello all. Thanks for being here. I have been on the Galaxy S5 for a couple of years, rooted it and have been pretty happy with it (using MOAR)

I do NOT have easy access to a PC but I was able to do everything I needed to by connecting to my MAC

Questions: 1) can I root a newly purchased Note5 without a PC?

2) will I be able to do the pretty easy downloads and installs with WiFi, and plugging in via USB to a Mac?

Thanks in advance. Oh and opinions and judgmental comments are welcome (for example is it a good idea to move to the Note5 from my Galaxy s5? I'm not a developer but use my phone A LOT for messaging, email, Chrome web browsing, and reading books on Kindle)
