[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
Have you tried re-running the RUU? I'd try that. Otherwise, you can always unlock your bootloader, and then install a custom recovery (I recommend TWRP). If you can get that far, you can just install a custom ROM from there anyway. Ditch the old stock altogether.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thatsnomoon:
Yeah, that crossed my mind, but when I looked it up on my computer, I realized that it is an .exe file. When I run it, it requests that I have the phone on and to connect it to the computer to install it, which I can't do because the phone won't turn all the way on. Thanks for the suggestions. I'l definitely have to look into the steps to do that. I know there are several different options for ROMs. What would you recommend to be the easiest/most reliable?

Thanks again!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
Try my newest CM 12.1. You'll need to install TWRP first.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] spammy l:
Just an informative message in case people were having same issues I was, reading the posts, I see many are.

The amazing [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] has a working beta method which allows me a simple, fully stock rooted OL1, with deep sleep fixed, and a small tweak to get Titanium Backup (TiBu) working on my sprint galaxy s6 (SM-G920P).

Note that chainfire's site (http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/) as of 1/16/16 had a autoroot version for the G920P that installed the 2.65 NOT the 2.66 (or 2.67) (beta deep sleep fixed versions) of SuperUser SU, so you'll have to TWRP install the 2.66 or 2.67 to get the deep sleep fix

Here's the brief GUIDE how I did it:

1. Download OL1 here's the sammobile link http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/62965/G920PVPU3BOL1_G920PSPT3BOL1_BST/

2. Download ODIN 3.10.6 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2711451

3. Download CFautoroot for the Sprint Galaxy s6, and consider donating to [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] https://download.chainfire.eu/785/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-zerofltespr-zerofltespr-smg920p.zip

4. ODIN flash first the Stock OL1 and then the CFautoroot

5. Download and flash THIS TWRP https://dl.twrp.me/zeroflte/twrp-2.8.7.0-zerofltespr.img.tar.html or select appropriate one from https://dl.twrp.me/zerofltespr/ *(note that 3.0.0-0 is now available, but I haven't tried it yet, 2.8.7.0 still working well)

6. DEEP SLEEP FIX Download SU 2.67 Beta https://download.chainfire.eu/897/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.67-20160121175247.zip

*** Note- this beta version of SU works PERFECTLY on my 920P phone, and fixed the deep sleep issue

7. Move the SU 2.67 Beta to your phone's hard drive. Put it somewhere you can find it easily.

8. Boot into TWRP recovery (power, home key and volume up). Click "Install" and select the 2.67 SU Beta zip folder you just downloaded.

OPTIONAL:

9. Fix TiBu: Easy fix- uncheck in SU the "mount namespace separation"

Done.

Finally- pure stock rooted, nearly no crashes, everything seems to work. :good::o

UPDATE 2.20.16: Both Beta versions 2.66 and 2.67 SuperSu DID in fact eventually crash, but only after 10 days did i get my first, and after 5 weeks, it has only occurred with Dolphin Browser, and only rarely- so might be a setting related to that app. Still way better and more stable than unikernel method.

Did it trip Knox?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] spammy l:
I had previously used [MENTION=2553151]djvoleur[/MENTION] 's UniKernel v8 and v9, so I already had knox tripped
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] spammy l:
I couldn't find a pure stock with a pure stock kernel way to root. Rooting using the UniKernel method kept me with a very buggy system that repeatedly crashed, no matter what I did to manipulate it.

Once chainfire autoroot became available for the s6, that was great- but it had the deep sleep issue (and also messed with a TiBu setting). His 2.66 update fixed the deep sleep issue, and a simple settings change fixed the TiBu issue.

googling for these answers wasted a lot of my time, and reading posts- I saw that others were struggling with this too-- especially since they weren't sure his methods would work on the sprint version of the s6.

So I just thought I'd save people some time, confirm that the methods work great on the 920P, and give them links to how to do it :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Huey Driver:
I just tried this procedure.

Everything goes ok, but TWRP will not accept input. If I touch the screen nothing happens. After a bit, the screen will lock (and swiping with my finger wont work) and the only alternative is to reset using pwr-home-voldn. I tried TWRP 2.8.7.1 and 2.8.7.2 and both do it. TWRP 2.8.7.0 works ok, but the first time I tried, it put the phone into a boot loop where the animation would start, and then reboot.....

I was running OL1 stock (got the phone two days ago).

Still investigating... Reloading stock ROM.

At least 2.8.7.0 allowed me to input into TWRP. Was able to flash SuperSU. Did not get stuck on boot animation this time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] spammy l:
Hmm, interesting.

I used twrp-2.8.7.1-zerofltespr.img and that worked just fine.

I only had an issue when I (briefly, mistakenly) tried to use the TWRP from this link http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/general/guide-android-6-0-marshmallow-beta-how-t3277533/post64613464#post64613464

When I flashed that incorrect TWRP, I got stuck in the same manner you did-- but twrp-2.8.7.1-zerofltespr.img worked fine.

Of note- I fixed the link above to go to the https://dl.twrp.me/zeroflte/ and https://dl.twrp.me/zeroflte/twrp-2.8.7.0-zerofltespr.img.tar.html pages.

Somehow though it seems I have a copy of the sprint version of 2.8.7.1, I can only see the 2.8.7.0 listed on the TWRP sites. I am sure that also should work fine

good luck

**Correction: the newest TWRP is 2.8.7.0 for the G920P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Huey Driver:
It may well just be something I did. Like I said, brand new phone....

I used ODIN, and I got the downloads from the TWRP site (dl.twrp.me)...

Regardless, I got 2.8.7.0 to work and I have root. Not really sure what the differences are.

Just kind of putting it out there for others....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] legola:
my phone is already rooted, can i uninstall supersu 2.44 and flash supersu 2.66?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] spammy l:
yes- essentially- but because the supersu 2.66 beta is in a zip file (with multiple files for the multiple system architectures in it), you can't (i don't believe) flash through ODIN.

You must download the zip directly onto your phone hard drive (somewhere easy to find), or download on your laptop and transfer to your phone (again, putting somewhere easy to find), then boot into recovery, and install via TWRP. It should replace the supersu file, and automatically fix any deep sleep issue, if you haven't already fixed that previously ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
It actually won't, unless your stock. Unikernel will just keep overwriting it since it's prerooted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] yaibakt:
actually, AFAIK for our G920P, the latest TWRP is 2.8.7.0.

Your 2.8.7.1 might be named wrongly. could you please check in the TWRP screen?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] spammy l:
You are correct- I checked the TWRP screen, and it is in fact 2.8.7.0. My file must be named incorrectly. I edited that post to reflect this. Thanks for pointing this out. :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] yaibakt:
:good:

one more thing:

i use your trick and CAN restore apps by titanium backup. thank you.

but, could you confirm for me that: can you uninstall a system app by titanium backup?

for me, when i tap a system app in tita, and uninstall it, then reboot the phone, the app appears again.

i have to use root explorer to delete the app manually.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] spammy l:
Hi- Glad the titanium backup trick worked for you- it frustrated me a bit until i found that answer.

Yes- I can confirm that both uninstalling and/or freezing system apps work in TiBu, and they do not re-install. When I uninstall a system app with TiBu, it does stay uninstalled after reboot.

Maybe it is a security issue? I use an english translation of LBE security, but have also used X-privacy, and both those (along with some other programs) block unwanted installations.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] yaibakt:
thank you.

how weird over here...

i can freeze apps, but cannot uninstall apps by titanium. it was possible when i root my phone using unikernel v8.

one feedback from here: the battery life is somehow worse than using unikernel v8. yesterday i just had about 3h15' on screen from 100% to 1% battery, compared to about 4h30-5h onscreen with unikernel v8. the usage is normal like everyday of mine.

however im just using this method for 1 day so i will give it some more days to see if there is any improvement...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] spammy l:
hmmm- bizarre.

Not sure exactly what is going on with your system. As for the battery- mine has been working great (by s6 standards)- way better than unikernel v9, and at least as good as unikernel v8.

Are you sure it is deep sleeping? Positive it is running SuperSU v2.66? (could check on the settings page) Also, though I'm sure you'd know if it weren't deep sleeping, you could try running the "CPU Deep Sleep Info Widget" to double check. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.cmweb.deepsleep&hl=en

As for mine- I'm over a week into this method, haven't crashed a single time to lock screen, battery is working great (for a s6), and all apps seem to work smoothly- without all the bugs I was experiencing with unikernel.

Hope your phone gets sorted out soon too :cool:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] yaibakt:
yeah, im sure that all the setting on my phone are the same between unikernel v8 and this method. i use SU v2.66 too.

i havent got any crash on v8 either, so basically i just compare v8 and this method in battery life.

i dont use v9 since it's reported to have lockscreen issue.

but well, i'll being using this method at least till weekend to see. i'll just be able to re-flash the rom if necessary at that time anyway.

thank you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] sjsharksfan420:
I have been away from the forums for a few weeks, i was curious if this or any method allows for rooting but retaining knox status? I am rooted (with the old pingpong method) but stayed on OE2 (5.0.2) to keep knox intact. I would love to get updated to the latest OS rooted but keep knox intact still.. not sure if its possible, so i check with yall..

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] asafegous:
If i were to skip the custom recovery flash, would i be able to receive ota updates?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] spammy l:
I can't speak for myself, as I was already knox-tripped with unikernel before using this method.

From looking at other boards, my best guess is that this would likely also trip knox.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] spammy l:
If you are knox-tripped, probably not.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] spammy l:
UPDATE, A few rare crashes, and a new untried Beta SuperSU

So a quick update:

Finally got a few rare crashes to boot screen after 10 days. Very rare, maybe once a day. Actually... usually crashes to HOME screen as opposed to BOOT screen, so usually faster to get back into whatever you were doing. Overall still much better for me than the UniKernel method, less buggy, decent battery.

Also:

The amazing Chainfire has released a 2.67 Beta update of the SuperSU. Haven't tried it yet, but will keep all posted after I do.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64161125&postcount=3

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] spammy l:
Chainfire SuperSU beta v2.67 also works great

Have been running SuperSU beta v2.67 x 4 days now, working well. Only one crash, though wish I could say none at all. Still my preferred method of rooting the Sprint 920P galaxy s6.

good luck to all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] raivyn:

The TWRP issue usually happens if you ODIN a non-sprint version of TWRP.

Streaming Video

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] spammy l:
hmmm... not sure... I don't use either of those, but don't have any issues with either youtube or web-based flash or html streaming content.

There were a few programs that required re-setting approvals or permissions after I installed--- do you have any security settings that need updating?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] wamhimym:
I found the solution here: http://xdaforums.com/sprint-galaxy-...d-note-5-rom-patch-flash-sprint-note-t3255565

Ok, I keep having this problem:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/help/rooted-sprint-s6-bol1spr-zip-rebooting-t3321467

With the reboots. I ended up flashing stock again and the issue has gone away, at least for now, but I was having that issue repeatedly, perhaps because i flashed once with "rtn for sprint" option in odin. I'm not even sure what that does.

I have to reroot now. Not sure if that will bring back the problem.

Also, visual voicemail always starts. I don't even use it.

update:

It turns out it's "Samsung DM Manager." Disabling that w/titanium backup makes it go away.

I still want to know why I've had this issue with the reboots a few times. Is it related to doing rtn for sprint with odin?

---

The first time I flashed, some samsung prompt asked if i want to activate some kind of protection or something in case my phone is ever stolen, for remote wipe, or something. I selected yes. I've never seen that prompt again. Is that possibly what this reboot issue is related to? How do I turn that off?

I installed CM 13 same experience with this

first few days it worked fine then again i was experiencing laggs. I've tried clean master, c cleaner, all in 1 toolbox I've cleaned all the junk the cache memory.. But no use currently I'm having laggs while typing..this post on CM13.

Try to to do a full factory reset (wipe user data as well as a clean flash).

I'm on cm 12.1 snapshot right now (cm 13 is good but still has to have major improvements).

I Dont face any lags, I don't use third party apps like clean master and stuff (they drain battery so Dont use them).

Just install L speed mod (Google it). Install a custom kernel if you wish to.

Cm13 is running fine on my xt1068. I suggest you not use xposed. Clean flash the latest nightly. Cm12.1 wont have any updates now. There are few post in cm13 thread about the touch delay. A temporary solution is to desable vibrate on touch. I personally dont face this issue. I also suggest u to not install any cleaner app. Give it a try. Its worth it.

Apps can be backed up via es file explorer (I Dont recommend titanium backup ). Google how to and remember to transfer the apks to other place.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakku90:
Usually a factory reset is enough (it doesn't include internal storage). If u want apps to be backed up, do a nandroid backup from twrp recovery. Or u could just use titanium back to backup apps.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sanjumalik720:
Honestly in my opinion and experience the amount of apps(system related i.e tweaking with xposed and stuff like that) is inversely proportional to your device's performance.

I've been using my cm 12.1 latest nightly since ages and is working perfectly i do backup and restore the nandroid whenever i need or want to use any other ROM.

To me the stock cm 12.1 works flawlessly with the stock kernel. it may happen with your tweaked kernel that the switching between the i/o scheduler or CPU frequency may lag your device a bit. and since the automatic hotplugs and CPU governor switching is not that good for most of the kernels. they may lag a little more than usual.

So all in all i recommend you to either factory clean your device on regular intervals. whenever you notice.

or just smartly install things and use it to your need.

And honestly speaking for kernels stock cm 12.1 kernel is way above par. it'll give you a nice 1 day battery backup with nice amount of daily gaming and multitasking. with my schedule of approx. 8-9 hours of constant usage with games like COC having a big share of my time and fair little here and there my battery lasts from 6am in the morning to 9-10pm and i notice not even a single lag.

Hope it helped.

Read: http://www.xda-developers.com/android-pay-no-longer-working-with-systemless-root/

About TWRP restore. The function has evolved to be a little complex than earlier, and many users, especially those who are new, seem to have problems with it. You should most probably backup the old entries, like System, Data, Cache, and Boot. Vendor could be left alone if you're not downgrading or upgrading. Same goes for the recovery, since TWRP will be there already.
