I still can't give you my word that you should be still able to use M.

Obviously, I have no idea how's the security has changed with M.

Keep in mind that there's a fair bit amount of possibilities that you would end up going back to L.

This is great! Looking forward to the update!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Rx8Driver:
I feel like there has to be a way to recreate the circumstances that prompted the Ota download to begin with...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] danon.brown:
I can't use the phone anyway so its worth the risk. I have a feeling i would be able to update it back to marshmallow since the imei info is still missing. I think there was an app that would store otas or copy them somehow.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Rx8Driver:
I'd say get the system dump then if you have to Odin back to stock go back to coi5 and check the Ota again lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] arter97:
OK, thanks.

The entire community(not just Note 5) will appreciate it :)

Edit: I've forgotten [MENTION=5403589]Albe95[/MENTION] - scusi ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Albe95:
Just a suggest: try before all, the method for dump the not-root devices.

So at least if you don't get success with root & reco, and you have to restore LL we still have a dump for the apps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] arter97:
Good idea. Will do that first.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] arter97:
Linux, please :)

If you have trouble running Teamviewer, Windows should be still fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] danon.brown:
If this is the process its going. The phone is still not rooted and I'm unsure where its putting the files.

Not sure why its sideways
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] arter97:
I would still appreciate it if I can directly go have a look.

Tarball is much better than adb pull.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] pratik_193:
you just returned from the future..!:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] nflwideout86:
thank you for answering, did you have any stuttering at all while scrolling in these apps before updating? Does the performance feel noticeably smoother or about the same?

Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] EtherealRemnant:
Always back up your EFS partition no matter what. It is ridiculously easy to overwrite that partition. You can use a root file manager to delete it even...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] liusitan:
Thank you for sharing your experience

As everyone knows,both S6(e) and note5/edge+ have a big problem on scrolling performance, most of time i feel it is very very lag. Comparing with my last phone HTC M8,samsung TouchWiz is a truly bad UI,at least it cannot made me feel smooth as i am using apps.But M8 with Sense can do that. I am disappointed with samsung Android software. So i wonder if samsung optimized Android 6.0 with scrolling performance improvements? :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] grymmy:
can we flash the file/s that arter97 worked on guys? https://www.sendspace.com/pro/ccovu7 or https://www.sendspace.com/pro/2idct7. Which file if yes?

Do i go back to stock, unrooted firmware (i'm on stock, rooted firmware), then flash the Marshmallow file?

Many thanks in advance...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] akaNeel:
So essentially I backup the EFS partition with something like the app EFS IMEI Backup, and flash rom with Odin, and if needed, restore IMEI with the app?

Sorry! Just a bit of a noob.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] FaserF:
These are all files from a full rom, but it won't boot. These files are needed to cook a rom. If there is any dev (or yourself) who will create a Bootable rom you can flash it.

It looks like arter tries to cook this rom for the Galaxy S6 :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] danon.brown:
Ok here is yet another update. Its newer than the last not as big. I don't remember the last file size.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] danon.brown:
I wouldn't flash that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] EtherealRemnant:
You can do that and also a lot of Aroma ROMS (with the nice graphical installer that lets you pick options) have backup and restore functionality built in. Just make sure you have it on your phone and on your computer as well. There used to be a rather complicated Kies method but I'm unsure if that works anymore to restore a totally lost IMEI. I'm back to Samsung after a long hiatus.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] grymmy:

Great Job Danon.Brown!! and Arter97!

danon.brown did you take the latest update it gave you to see the result?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] danon.brown:
the latest is still lollipop. While I can't reproduce the marshmallow update assuming it was pulled. If you Odin back to coi5 or j5 try and check for an update. That's how I got it with the sim card out . No google setup either.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] c-pimp:
Oh hey yeah they probably seen this thread and pulled it asap.. I'm actually on a note 3 so no go for me lol but I'm glad you were able to get this and dump everything with arter97's help

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] EtherealRemnant:
It sounds like your phone must have somehow gotten marked as a test phone if you're getting a build that just launched today.

Edit - nevermind, the option for common isn't there...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] danon.brown:
you may be right. So I just Odin to j5 and am getting this update. From what I remember marshmallow was over 1gb in size. If someone is confident with restoration of the efs partition its worth a shot. You may be able to update to marshmallow.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] thatotherguy..:
Can you recovery and bootloader?

---------- Post added at 11:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 AM ----------

Root your phone and contact me, it won't be same imei but you'll get to use your phone again
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] EtherealRemnant:
Well its a bummer about your phone. The EFS thing wasn't always such a pain to fix. Let me do some more digging and see if I can come up with anything. There used to be a phone option that you switched a flag and pulled the battery and it fixed it but obviously we can't pull the battery anymore either.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] danon.brown:
The latest with no version information and one update pending.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] garyd9:
Modifying the stock kernel to work shouldn't be too difficult. Being that this is a test firmware, it likely will work with the same process I used to do this with 5.1.1. I won't be home until very late tonight, but someone else can do this:

unpack the boot image, and open the ramdisk from there. Modify the fstab from there to remove any fs options that block booting on system modification. Modify sepolicy to allow the su policys. Repack the ramdisk and boot image.. and install.

Can you find the URL of the OTA by looking through the logcat?

Then shouldn't others be able to Odin back to stock and then apply the update.zip with the stock recovery?

marshmallow twice in 24 hours. Yes its marshmallow again. This time however it upgraded from j5. The first time it was coi5.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] garyd9:
At > 1GB, it's likely a full firmware REPLACEMENT and not a update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] danon.brown:
You may not have to restore to stock official, take the sim card out, setup on wifi no google account ,and check for updates. Somehow I've gotten 2 unreleased updates.

You have got a blessed device, no explanation :P You have contribited a lot for us, I hope you can fix the IMEI

[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
moderator only for standard users.

the mods will probably close them for you, but if its just general questions and not a guide or some sort of development, they may choose not to because there really is no point, and it would take up a lot of their time if everyone wanted to do it.

its best to leave them open because, down the road someone may have a related question or issue, and choose to post it in your thread. this help to keep redundant threads down, makes it easier to find similar answers, and keeps from filling up the servers so fast with useless common posts.

What do you need help with exactly? That thread explains setting up drivers, adb and also flashing the stock ROM. There's not much to it. If you want a more automated approach, research either House of Moto or RSDLite.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nestorojeda:
I need to know how to revert to stock from cm13, becuause i can get in twrp. And if it is a program similar to odin for samsung, better.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xKroniK13x:
You will need to download the stock firmware for your phone, preferably the version you were on prior to flashing cm13. Follow the FAQ thread for installing ADB and Motorola drivers. Plug in your Moto X using your OEM USB cable in a USB2.0 port (OEM and USB2 can be important). Follow the tutorial linked there to then flash stock firmware.

House of Moto will generate a batch script to run the commands automatically, but still requires OEM cable, drivers and USB 2 port.

RSDLite is similar to House of Moto and will automate the process, same prerequisites to the above.

Is there somewhere that has a working guide on how to reliably root a brand new Galaxy Tab S2 SM-T810 on 5.1.1?

About a month ago I bought an S2 tablet (9.7", Wifi) and immediately set about rooting it using xda-developers.com. Many years ago I rooted a couple HTC phones because I was having terrible battery performance but never found the need to do the same on my S3 or S5 phones, so I'm a little out of date on the tools and processes. Apparently jumping back in at 5.1.1 was poor timing. I spent half the day using the information in this forum and what else I could piece together to try and get the root to work but eventually got frustrated and stopped. I spent several more hours trying to jump back in at the same place and have been unable to get this to work. I don't have the windows open from all the places I've been, but I've seen a lot of people seeming to report they're having difficulties as well, but that's when the thread just stops and I can't tell if they found some magic to help them out or where I'm struggling.

This website has grown considerably since the last time I was trying to use it as a resource, and I'm either searching for the wrong things or am making mistakes out of frustration. My route has seemed circular, to paraphrase: I don't remember what or how many bootloaders I've tried, my device won't root. I tried using Odin to instead load TWRP, but it also won't install that. I've seen the suggestion to downgrade to 5.0.2 and using a different set of tools, I can work my way to rooted and back to whatever ROMs I want, but then I see conflicting information that I can't just downgrade to 5.0.2, don't see an obvious location of a ROM to even do that with. I don't even know if I'm looking in the right area of the forums.
