MJ send GPS info in some formats, and have NO ICON on home screen. And a guy having in his hands a phone like this the first thing he search on google is HOW TO HARD RESET THE DEVICE :) Without a config file in ROM (on on microdrive I agree, but when you hard reset the ATHENA he asks "do you want to format the microdrive?" Having a stolen one the answer will be always YES!

Moreover is FREE, so I think no problems, asking to author, to put it into the ROM and to modify the registry key for config file to have it on external rom. The problem is.. could we have a PK3.0 with External Rom unocked as default?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wgary:
I don't recall being asked about reformatting the MicroDrive on hard reset... But having it in external rom would certainly be a viable approach. This would be a nice feature for PK3.0

Wouldn't it be great if we could tell the program to draw the thiefs attention (eg an alarm) and when the person reacts to this alarm have it make a photograph with the front camera, which could be send through mms or e-mail...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] meraz9000:
Hello. I'm just making this post to clear up some things and rumors about the posts going around about root firmware etc for newer ATT Galaxy phones like the s6, s6 edge, s6 edge + and the Note 5...

First of all these files have been around for some time now and only very few people in the unlocking/imei repair scene had them (including me) and just a few days ago someone decided to leak them and well they are now being offered for sale etc etc...Anyways these are what is called "engineering" kernel boot images with insecure adbd enabled meaning that it gives you root shell access.

Now the software that we use for our "unlocking" purposes only require this access to perform the operations that we want. However with all the new security Samsung has implemented, these kernels are by no means full root options. For example trying to use apps that require root (Titanium, Root checker) won't work and updating the SU binary under supersu app will send the phone on a bootloop because of SELINUX etc etc and as you know the only way to get around that is by flashing a custom kernel but ATT models having a locked bootloader this is not an option.

TL,DR : These files will only grant you "half assed" root that most people won't be able to take advantage of because it is all run over adb shell..maybe kernel wizards like [MENTION=4898097]arter97[/MENTION] would like to take a look at them and see if he can find something useful

Any questions feel free to ask
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] jellybear456:
Very informative, pretty much everything I needed to know. If you can't use root apps then I'm sure a lot of users will disregard the files, myself included as I only would like to use said apps. Thanks for the info?

Would it be possible to use the ENG kernel to manually install the superuser binary and push the superuser apk to system? Or would that cause the same bootloops also?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] TechNyne66:
We need a working recovery odin file first.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Michael3214:
As not much has been said in the thread, yes after Odin flashing the ENG kernel for our device and flashing a root script we can use rooted apps. [MENTION=2835049]metalcated[/MENTION] posted a script that does push SuperSU into system/. This was originally posted in the atat GS6 forum. It's a potentially complicated process and if your phone shuts off, battery dies or you hard reboot you will be stuck in a bootloop, hotbooting works fine for Xposed. Will this method be practical for everyone probably not, but considering we were told the device was unrootable........

Read thru his thread, then read it again, seriously do this. And if you still want to try, backup everything you can just in case you need to reflash via Odin to recover from a bootloop. Here were my steps.

1.Updated to newest firmware [MENTION=4287865]Sunderwear[/MENTION] posted PB2 (BL/AP/CP/CSC) this will wipe your device. In the pics provided I did try a couple firmware combinations after flashing PB2. I wouldn't suggest this but to each their own.

2.Metalcateds thread is here:

http://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s6/general/root-5-1-1-qa-oj7-root-snag-t3334546

3. The only file I downloaded and used was this one:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911977129

(G920a5.1.1.root.metalcated-v4.zip)

4.Save it and extract it on your PC

5. Verify Samsung drivers and adb are installed

6.***ENABLE USB DEBUGGING*** this is an important step.

7. Plug device into PC open file and run root script. It'll prompt you to press enter a couple of times and reboot the phone. Just follow the on-screen instructions.

8. After it reboots you have root access.

Root apps that work for me: Titanium backup/root explorer/build.prop editor/no frills.

I was able to delete all Knox apps and debloat the heck of the stock ROM. At no point did my device freeze, reboot on its own.

None of this is my work, I just figured out how to get it going on our device. If you want to try it out and your successful thank [MENTION=2835049]metalcated[/MENTION] and everyone listed in the thread as they did all the work..

A couple people reported their Knox warranty tripped to 1. So i felt I needed to check if this tripped my own Knox counter. So I'm bootlooped for now but my Knox is 0 !!!! [MENTION=5254272]TechNyne66[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1922410]jrtran[/MENTION] I'm posting the instructions on how to do this if you decide to try this method I originally pm'd to you both.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] FtaWolf:
If it goes in boot loop. Do u think it's really worth the effort. Personally I think it needs little more work. Least it's going in right direction. Maybe they get boot loop fixed. Even if it trips Knox it . That be fine with me.

Excuse my ignorance if this strikes anyone as a noob question... If my device bootloops I obviously cannot go into download mode... My question is twofold: 1: Is my only recourse to flash firmware via Odin?.. And if so... 2: Will my computer/Odin recognize my phone while it is in bootloop?

Hold volume up and down + power + home tell your phone resets, then volume down + power + home to boot download mode.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] jellybear456:
And this works if you're caught in a bootloop, correct? Also, the I have the files for AOJ1 not APB2. there shouldn't be an issue restoring through odin from APB2 to the older AOJ1 because it's still lollipop, right?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Jcarson237:
I Have the correct firmware installed and the engineer kernel installed

I have the files downloaded and extracted that were mentioned above.

Question about Step #7:

How do I run the root script? (please explain this to me like I'm an idiot lol)

Not sure how to go about the installation, or which parts if any in the extracted zip file I need to flash after extracting it..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Michael3214:
No problem. As a prerequisite to this process you need Samsung drivers and ADB installed.

(1.)go into your phones settings and scroll down to "developer options" and double check that USB debugging is enabled. THIS IS IMPORTANT, If this step is skipped your ONLY option to recover from the bootloop is via ODIN. (2.)Plug phone into PC and open the extracted file. (3.) If you're using Windows locate the "root-install.cmd" script, double click it and follow all of the on screen prompts. That's it.......

Anytime you hard reboot, battery dies or you just shut it off the phone you will get stuck at the atat logo as SElinux will be enforced, hence the bootloop. To get the phone functional again, (1.) Plug phone into PC while bootlooped on atat logo. ***Your PC should recognize the device as long as USB debugging IS enabled. (2.)Reopen the extracted zip file and locate the "root-boot.cmd" script. (3.) Double click and allow it to run. It can take anywhere between 30-40 seconds for the phone to boot back up.

***If your having trouble with the PC recognizing the bootlooped device, chances are you need to uninstall Samsung drivers and reinstall them. I'll link [MENTION=2835049]metalcated[/MENTION] 's thread for further details on driver/ADB issues.

Okay, I followed all instructions to the tee, running the pb2 firmware with eng kernel, I ran the script, And it said successfully rooted. I rebooted the phone and had no issues, supersu installed. Opened super su and it Said no su binary was installed and couldn't be installed by the app, so I reset the phone and didn't get stuck in a bootloop or stuck at the AT&T logo, but seems the script didn't take. Am I still missing something?

Bump. Is this working? I'm waiting for a full root without the need to tether at boot. Is this what I've been waiting for?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Jcarson237:
Just confirmed the root is working, but was unable to continue using after reboot. Had to re flash everything through odin as the root-boot script didn't work for me. If you can avoid your phone shutting off, dying, or being reset however, it's solid.

i got no such root......followed it to the letter..... no root HOWEVER SU did install into the system but root checker said no root
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] blane3298:
can we use this to debloat and then just reflash the stock kernel and be good to go?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] 2Tone23:
Pardon if this is a stupid question, but where is the eng kernel found?.. And do I flash it via Odin as the first step before beginning the root process as explained in this topic?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Michael3214:
Yes this needs to be flashed before the process begins, the script wont run with the stock kernel.

Here's a link to the eng kernel. Download and extract. Yes flash via ODIN, add the kernel file to the AP slot.

This comes direct from the original thread regarding debloat:

http://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s6/general/root-5-1-1-qa-oj7-root-snag-t3334546

"This process can be painful to get working, but if all you want is a debloated ROM, root your phone then install Flashfire and flash the system image posted above and you will have your deboated ROM. You can then remove root using the SuperSU app and your phone will boot cleanly from here on out with no bloat. Of course its up to you what you want to do. - I know one of the testers said this is what he was going to do."

The problem we run into is not having a debloated image specific to our device, so for now the flashfire method is out unless someone here tries to do it. If you debloat it yourself and unroot using the SuperSu app, I dont know if the device will just boot right up or if it gets stuck at the logo. I debloated/deleted what I wanted to remove and only softbooted as needed so that root remained. Sorry I cant test this, about a week ago i dropped it and now have a busted lcd/black screen.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] blane3298:
i had flashed the eng kernel and debloated but its a little laggy so i was looking for a pb2 kernel to flash over the eng kernel to see if the lag would go away
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] JeSTeRH4CK3D:
they are individually in there. im working on a ENG. BL to unlock the at&t bootloader so you ONLY want the AP? it is still about a gig.

ON A SIDE NOTE thats why i keep getting out of soft bricks and boot loops and i even used that file to get out of that.

most of the people don’t know what a bricked phone actually is. A bricked phone means – your phone won’t turn on at all. A phone stuck in a boot loop or a phone that boots directly to recovery mode is not a bricked phone. If your phone is actually bricked that means it won’t open at all.

Please let me know what you have done to keep permissive on hard boot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] timmy10shoes:
Since we have a unsecure kernel does that mean we can unpack the kernel, make edits and still be able to flash the kernel? If so and I'm sure this has been thought out (I'm not a expert by any means) but couldn't you unpack the kernel and edit the init.rc to set Selinux to permissive?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] JeSTeRH4CK3D:
The SELinux seems to be being edited by the bootloader or the SBL which is not eng. Yet, so, no. Not that easy or I would have done it already.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] timmy10shoes:
Is the eng-kernel signed? If any changes are made to the kernel, can it still be flashed?

It's It's a multi phone kernel from what I gather......worked on any phone I use with ogg to PB2 ....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] timmy10shoes:
But if we modify the kernel in anyway it shouldn't be able to flash correct. If it's signed the md5/sha-1 wouldn't match. Or am I off base?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] JeSTeRH4CK3D:
The eng. Kernel is packed .tar not

MD5 so I think that has an effect. Also all that's in the eng. Kernel is a file named boot.img at 26 or 26.5 MB
