[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheColdOne:
I have been having issues with my phone where it seems to get VERY slow speeds on my home WiFi.

All other devices get very high speeds (eg. Laptop 300+ Mbps, OneplusOne 105Mbps, Nexus 5 60Mbps, Nexus 7 70Mbps).

My Moto X Pure though, for some reason, often gets very unstable speeds varying from 5Mbps to 40Mbps. There is rare occasion when it gets full speeds of 160+ Mbps, but not often.

Anyone else experiencing awkward slowness? It sucks when updating larger apps.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] civiksi:
Yes. I see slow LTE speeds as well. I posted about it here and Motorola.com and of course no one had anything to say. Top speed at home on wifi is about 180 Mbps. Its rare I get that. I check it with the speed test app and maybe the 3rd time I try it will be at max speed. Normally I see about 50-60. I feel like my LTE speeds are way slower than what they used to be at home and at work. About half of what they were with my old Droid Turbo. Debating getting another one. Not sure if I got crappy antennas or what. I have nothing else to go on since no one else could give me any feedback.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpstar:
Yes. I just noticed this yesterday. I'm doing more research but it appears unless I'm right on top of my router it sucks. I'm likely going to be sending back my Pure to moto over this as soon as I confirm other phones do much better (pretty sure my other ones do but need to do back to back comparison of them).
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpstar:
Initial indications are that it's got abysmal 5.8 ghz performance beyond maybe 15 feet. Much worse than other devices. Very good though on 2.4 only.

Further comparisons seem to indicate it might be on par with other portables. Dunno for sure. Still investigating. Just noticed it as it can get really, really bad on 5.8 while still connected.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t2jbird:
I'm having the worst WiFi speeds imaginable right now, while my one plus has great speeds on the same WiFi. Any solutions for this?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fencer:
I noticed that my Moto X drops WIFI connectivity every few seconds when I'm in a particular area of the house and the phone's Bluetooth is on. My Wife's N5, N7 and my old N4 work OK so it's definetly something to do with the phone. :(
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankrocks:
Actually, I was checking out my network the other day, and was surprising surprised at the actual connection speed it was reading. Laptop gets maybe 650mbps connection in the same location. Behind 2 walls about 60ft away from Asus AC68 router. which hides behind a TV.

internet is local company, 50 up/50 down... down speed is about on par with other devices
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaibsora:
I just got this phone yesterday and I've got to say I'm very surprised about it. It's very useful $300 phone and it does everything is $700 phones does. Sorry for bad grammar I'm using text-to-speech. But I've also noticed that if you switch to the 2.4 gigahertz you don't have the Wi-Fi issue for some reason it's only the 5 gigahertz

[Introduction]

I am from Hong Kong and I am new in xda forum. Hopefully my English may not confuse you XD!

Please note that no Deep Sleep problem after root. Everything works fine.

Ref. Source: http://apk.tw/thread-706898-1-1.html

The files that need to use were from the owner of the above post.

Thank you for providing useful files to him!

[How to root]

Step:

1. Install "CROM_Service unlock.apk" in your note 5 and open it to unlock your note 5 device. It is a must. And then this apk can be uninstalled.

2. Make sure OEM unlock is also enabled as well.

3. Boot your note 5 into Download Mode & connect to PC

3. Flash "SM-N9200_root.tar" with Odin 3.10.7 in [AP]

4. After boot: Rooted note 5 and SuperSu installed as well!

Files:

1. CROM_Service unlock.apk

https://www.dropbox.com/s/grs5x18xwej2fy7/CROM_Service%20unlock.apk?dl=0

2. SM-N9200_root.tar

I'm not trying to discredit this guy, but I would proceed with caution guys. When a apk is involved, things can get a little risky.

[Galaxy Note5 General] Tomleungyuethei:
I am using note 5, SM-N9200 as well and I had rooted it already.

Everything works perfectly.

What do I need to do something in order to danger your phone?

Please believe me!

My rooted Note 5:
[Galaxy Note5 General] Willyman:
Anyone else tried this?
[Galaxy Note5 General] the Doctor:
What/who is the source of these files? People should know before installing/flashing them. Also, if you aren't the original source, then xda rules require you to give credit to the party who did the work.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Tomleungyuethei:
Firstly, I saw a post in this forum:

http://xdaforums.com/note5/help/sm-n9200-hk-version-root-t3197369#post63047289

You can see the owner of the post are requesting the way to root his N9200.

And then, I saw the first reply from Willyman who found a link that could help root N9200 device.

As I know Chinese because I come from Hong Kong, and I need to root my N9200 as well.

So I ask him the steps of rooting N9200 device.

After that, I tried it and eventually successful.

Finally, I just share my experience to share the way of rooting N9200 to all of you now.

Believe it or not, I have no need to lie.

Now I think it is wasting my time to open a new thread for the guide of rooting N9200 in here.

So unrespectful ! Why do some people try to doubt for my help?
[Galaxy Note5 General] d.cortez:
this reads/appears to be a similar process i used to root my SM-N9208. the CROM apk is actually a Samsung app available from the Samsung store; i believe it's needed to unlock the bootloader. i had to flash a root kernel as well but i believe the one i used was for the 9208. nonetheless, when done, my 9208 was rooted, TWRP installed, and xposed installed and running on the stock odexed ROM. risky, yes... :), but it's working so far...
[Galaxy Note5 General] Tomleungyuethei:
yes, it works for me so I post here in order to help who those in need.

I also installed xposed framework that is unofficial xposed v74 arm64 version.

Everything works perfectly!
[Galaxy Note5 General] Seven Winds:
I will try later.

Just one question, can I install teamwork recovery before/after the procedure. I would really like to back up before trying to root my lovely phone. Already did back up in SmartSwitch, but afraid something will go wrong if its not official.

Also, I don't jump on this root thing because I'm afraid there won't be any Roms for this version, and I really want to try android 6 when it comes...
[Galaxy Note5 General] Tomleungyuethei:
Of course you can install TWRP before or after root because I've tried it before.

After I rooted my note 5, I installed xposed framework using TWRP and incrediblely successful.
[Galaxy Note5 General] the Doctor:
In American culture (and XDA is an American forum), it's disrespectful not to give credit to others when using their work. That's one reason (among others) for #12 of the forum rules:

12. Using the work of others.

If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails, you may then contact a Moderator and provide clear evidence that the work was created by you.

Convincing evidence will result in the copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence that it was you who created the work, then in the spirit of sharing, all work will remain posted on the forums.

As an addition, developers have the right to hold exclusivity over their work for as long as it is deemed necessary by that developer. However, if the work is claimed as exclusive, it must remain as such. No selective sharing will be allowed (ie, allowing certain people to use it and not others). If the developer decides to start sharing the work with others, the work automatically becomes available for all to use, albeit with the relevant credit displayed.

When permission has already been given, unless there is a very valid reason, it cannot be revoked (same applies to major updates on the work). Under that same premise, permissions cannot be denied unless the work is exclusive or under extreme circumstances.

In plain English: If you want to keep your work exclusive, go for it. However, if you are going to share your work, do it fairly.

Reposted content, derivative or maintaned works based on that of former or banned members may be removed at our discretion.

These rules apply to all software posted on XDA (including but not limited to ROMs, RUUs, apps, games, kernels, themes, icons, etc) unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.

Respect the forum rules and nobody will doubt your intentions.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Tomleungyuethei:
Sorry, wrong reply before...
[Galaxy Note5 General] Tomleungyuethei:
Ok, I've got the permission already from "him" and so now I am trying to help only.

Thank you!

I don't have the HK version of the phone, but wanted to take a moment to call out [MENTION=4456995]Tomleungyuethei[/MENTION] with my thanks for contributing to the community. Normally, I'd just whack the "thanks" button, but seeing a newer XDA member (or at least one with so few posts) contribute is nice, and I'm willing to risk a moderator chastising me in order to reply with an explicit "Thank you."
[Galaxy Note5 General] Tomleungyuethei:

I really want to contribute and learn about android knowledge.

Hopefully I can help, and learn something here as well.
[Galaxy Note5 General] gundal:
I can verify this is legit, but just open galaxy apps and search for CROM Service , you will find this apk its an official bootloader unlock from samsung, *IMPORTANT* as soon as you use this ap. you void your warranty and submit your imei to samsung, you also upon NEXT REBOOT will lose all your GAPPS AND any app you downloaded via playstore on that account!

IT IS possible to save it all, heres what I did.

1. Install CROM service apt from galaxy apps

2. turn on Developer options > OEM UNLOCK

3. run CROM Service to unlock bootloader

4. reboot to download mode, flash twrp 2.8.7.0 from twrp.me/devices (the noblelteh dual sim one)

5. take full backup of data, radio, efs, boot (don't even bother backing up system)

6. reboot device (gapps gets wiped and apps are gone)

7. reboot to download mode, reflash stock odin tar of same system version(i used OI1)

8. reboot to download mode, reflash twrp recovery

9. reboot to recovery, restore data, backup system, reboot

10. you have your system back with gapps and every other app back to how it was before you CROM unlocked and lost gapps

11. flash kernel with root and whatever else you want do with your phone

was gonna make a post right after i finished building arters kernel for our device, it was confusing to figure out what the hell download mode was bit#$ing about in chinese characters when you tried to flash something, but glad someone else was able to share the info, I didn't wanna post the files without permissions so I was going to get arteries port working with auto root before making a guide.

I'm actually quite interested to see what the chinese dev community comes up with on this device as this is my first time having a international model that actually has a working radio here in canada :D
[Galaxy Note5 General] Yuhfhrh:
Link to the kernel you used on your 9208? Or will all this 9200 stuff also work on the 9208?
[Galaxy Note5 General] d.cortez:
not sure it will work on the 9200, but you can find the kernel in this file: n9208 root.rar. i followed the instructions from this post in the SM-N9208 duos thread. :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] Seven Winds:
Thanks OP, now rooted and have TWRP :D
[Galaxy Note5 General] oohyeah:
First of all, thanks so much, Tom Leung, for posting this! Your post (seeing that there was a way to root) made it easy for me to decide to get the HK 9200 variant.

Just received my 9200 today and of course the first thing I do is to root it, which I did successfully in the end.

Just a couple of pointers to add, as I think the original post might be missing some key information which will prevent the phone from being rooted. I had to go to the original Chinese post to find out (good thing I can read Chinese...).

- First thing you need to do is to enable Developer Options. (Settings - About Device - Software info - tap on 'Build number' 7 times)

- Enter Developer Options, and turn on 'OEM unlock

Before I did the above, flashing the .tar file with Odin FAILED.

Anyway, hope the above info helps someone!

Thanks again, Tom - I'm now a happy camper. About to restore all my apps with data (from my Note 3) using Titanium Backup!

---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:27 PM ----------

A couple of follow-up questions to my post above.

1. If there are no ROMs available for 9200 at the moment (which is the case, it seems), is there any real reason to install TWRP apart from doing a full backup of the device? I usually only bother doing that just before I flash a new ROM.

2. I see that Wanam Exposed has also been installed along with Super Su, but it says that it is "NOT active!". There was a message that said that it's not available for Lollipop or something.

Tom - how did you install Wanam?
[Galaxy Note5 General] oohyeah:
Bump! Are there that few 9200 users here?
[Galaxy Note5 General] gundal:
Yup seems that way
[Galaxy Note5 General] ocp15k:
Alot of ppl boycoted note 5 in HK because there is only 32gb available. Check Samsung HK Facebook, everyone is giving them flack for not having 64gb.

We need the space to watch media while walking, traveling, eating, toilet, sleeping.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Willyman:
hahaha. I got one anyway. I don't use a lot of storage on my devices so it didn't bother me.
[Galaxy Note5 General] ocp15k:
So looked like they have announced the 64gb today. It will be released on the 30th. Does this root method trip Knox BTW?
[Galaxy Note5 General] u1988:
[MENTION=4456995]Tomleungyuethei[/MENTION]

What is "CROM_Service unlock.apk" Do?

This app can help other phones (S5-6,Note 4+), what about Regional lock or Just unloackd the device to Sim free?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Tomleungyuethei:
Not sure yet. I just believe that it would be suitable for 64GB as well if the firmware using is the same.
[Galaxy Note5 General] ocp15k:
Can't anyone confirm if it trips Knox?

Does this Trigger the KNOX Flag?

Does this Trigger the KNOX Flag? I am an avid user of Samsung Pay and won't be rooting unless it is confirmed I can still use Samsung Pay. If someone is willing, can someone confirm this?
[Galaxy Note5 General] DarthJ:
I am using a Chinese n9200 and want to get root access to get Gapps etc. I want to install TWRP prior to root ideally but seem to be unable to.

I have OEM unlocked, USB debugging on, and I have unlocked using CROM apk from Samsung. However when I flash TWRP using ODIN it succeeds but then when I boot into recovery I get Android stock?!?!? The KNOX counter has been tripped so the phone was flashed but yet no TWRP.

I was under the impression that you did not need root access to install TWRP this way?

Also will the N9200_root.tar file linked in OP work on Chinese N9200? Sorry if it is a stupid question, I am new to this.

Will the OTA updates work after rooting?
[Galaxy Note5 General] zentasuken:
Thanks

Thanks for your guide.. :good:
[Galaxy Note5 General] gnu4ever:
Same here. Could someone please confirm if this trips the KNOX counter?

My guess is it does...
[Galaxy Note5 General] BetaLeaf:
OTA updates almost always break root. Some apps can save your root over an OTA update but afaik, they are unreliable. Ideally, you would want to unroot, update OTA, and root using a method compatible with the new version. Optionally, you could wait for the developers that code these root saving apps to update for your device and software version.

[MENTION=1007992]everyone[/MENTION], anyone know if this trips knox and disables Samsung Pay? I'm still looking for a compatible root method that doesn't trip the knox flag or disable Samsung Pay as I use both.

SkyHigh auto-root kernel

If anyone wishes to test SkyHigh kernel for you device ??? The kernel, among all it's features, is also auto-root etc

Well then, it will take a N9200 member to post the extracted stock boot.img from N9200ZHU2AOJ9 firmware package.

You can download the full package from samsung-updates.com or sammobile.com

Any user here wishing to test my SkyHigh kernel for N9200 ? I can not test on my N920C variant.

You will need:

unlock your device with the CROM app

selected OEM unlock in device settings

Have a custom recovery installed to flash the kernel.zip file

backup your boot.img or entire device in recovery and save to PC (just in case)

Maybe have full stock firmware package to flash with Odin (just in case)

How is the battery life? Is it the same with 5.0.1 or worse? Anything else which is disappointing with MM?
[Galaxy Note5 General] kosei_inoue:
The battery could only last for 9-10 hours after i updated to marshmallow stock unroot rom, which is vastly different from the 24 hr battery life that i had been enjoying. But it was a rooted lollipop with greenify, power nap and amplify.

I decided to give the doze mode a try, but it disappointed me. I saw posts regarding a rooted device will experience battery drain if reverting back to stock unroot rom. I have therefore rooted the stock 6.0.1 ROM and installed greenify. Now roughly 15 hrs battery time.

I may consider installing xposed, powernap and amplify later on.

So far it is very stable on rooted marshmallow.
