[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrfrost123:
Well i'm totally lost and depressed because i think i ruined my phone , i tried to flash a custom kernel on my GT-N7100 that didn't go well , first it was stuck on "Downloading don't turn off !! " and then i tried to fix it through resetting factory settings and still the same !!! , after that with absolute dumbness i ruined my recovery mode selecting custom recovery in bootloader option in odin , and now i don't know what to do , even tried to install other custom recoveries but nothing worked , So please could anyone help me , and i also want to know , that if i installed an official firmware through download mode which is still working would that fix anything ?? .

PLEASE I NEED IMMEDIATE HELP :crying::crying:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grwalker:
Were you running a stock or custom ROM before flashing the kernel? What version?

Flash via Odin a stock ROM. Preferably the same version. Pick the stock ROM from Sammobile that suits your phone.

After that you will need to re-root your phone again
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrfrost123:
Thaaaaaaaanks for responding , i actually installed the old fashion kitkat through download mode which i'm very thankful that it was still working , and after i flashed it , it came to my mind that my phone is formatted no data to lose , why not go ahead and try to install custom roms ; I love to learn always , and i managed to install CM ,

But here is another question that is not another puzzle in the way . Back then when i ruined my phone i was trying to flash AGNI kernel , i 've red about it and how it's cool for anyone , now i'd like to flash it on CM , but the catch is : I won't eat from the same plate twice , and also i noticed that CM using it's own kernel which is responsible for it's own resources , hence i'd like to know does flashing this "Agni Kernel " on CM this time causes the same trouble .

I have to versions of this kernel 1- PSN_pureCM_11_12+_smdk4x12_ANYROM-AROMA-v4.5.1_N7100_OC

2 - PSN_AGNi_pureSTOCK-v4.4.5_N7100_4.4.x_AROMA

My android GT-N7100

And thanks .

Try flashing this, if it errors then we have a slight problem...

If it fails, nothing will happen and knox will not be tripped.

Reactivation lock is blocking a flash is what it sounds like. Remember this from some devices back dudes were having to resign in to their samsung account and turn it off, but I don't see it in the setting or find my device anymore or not worded as it used to be anyways
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] slickmastajay:
Go into developer options (about phone>build number tap it 5 times to activate)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] jdidtht:
Oem unlock is not the same as reactivation lock, developer options of course is enabled, reactivation lock is protection of a device remotely via a laptop or computer or another device in case a device is stolen you can track it and find it. The settings used to be spelled out clearly under lockscreen/security/find my mobile and reactivation lock for many people would block the flash in Odin and on device kicking up this same exact error reported above until they retype their samsung password and turning reactivation lock off.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Robalboa:
if you root this phone and trip knox fuse counter. you will NEVER EVER be able to use the great feature of MST through samsung pay.

My thoughts . since we have a non root hotspot and all bloatware (which isnt that much) can be disabled

the phone has so much customization incl uded i am not rooting the phone. the battery lasts 2 days easy with medium

use. no bugs at all i can find. what more can you ask for.

Remember Root no MST (mst is the ability to use the old card swipers at any location with the phone. it sends card you addeds magnetic strip info to the swiper )

UNLESS you can root without tripping the know counter. its unreversalble

carry on
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] rwright64:
First phone I've owned that I dont see myself rooting. I really like the Samsung Pay.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Soooperstar:
Yea I'm coming from the S6 and couldn't use it but enjoying Samsung Pay now
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] v8dreaming:
You don't have to worry about that. All US versions are locked down. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3327399
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Sim-X:
After 8 generations of HTC phones, I decided to try Samsung this year as M10 rumors were they were ditching Boomsound my favorite feature of the M phones. I felt edge was far superior this year at least based on the rumors which getting this close to launch are usually spot on. I was well aware that I was going to have to decide to trip knox or not if I wanted root. While there is more customization and control with Android 6 it still doesn't compare to having everything wide open, especially if you are use to S-OFF.

Is the trade off worth it? Well I think so at least right now, this device is superior to pretty much anything out at the moment. I'm already missing Xposed, Titanium Backup & AdAway. The lock down on these devices is just getting so bad, while I understand they shouldn't come rooted out of the box but give us a choice. We may not even have the option of tripping Knox at this point. Part of the reason I stayed with Sprint for so long is they were more friendly with unlocking phones then big red but everything seems to be going the wrong direction.

Even if root is granted, it will just be patched and it's only going to get more secure and difficult each generation. I guess we just might have to start accepting that this is just how it is. Kinda sad, I'm just so use to having it even back in the Windows Mobile days I was running custom roms.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Robalboa:
No they are already rooted with custom kernels and roms deodexed and odexed

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Sim-X:
Interesting, I'm not gonna go first I still haven't decided if I wanna trip knox or not if the bootloader is in fact able to be unlocked.

This link only shows 935F -- not 935P. Am I missing something?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Robalboa:
as stated above there a option to

unlock the bootloader in Dev options. im not sure all the details because i see no benefit to root right now but

they do have the phone rooted and they are modding kernels and system as wee speak. also custom recovery.

TWRP will inject root upon install and start up to reboot.

This is just a warning about root to anyone so they know the Deal with Samsung pay and MST

I do see it says 900f but theres numerous reports of it working on the 900P

you know these guys are flashaholics lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] neijia:
Thanks for the tip! I'm a huge fan of custom roms and the prospect of xposed so I'm very much looking forward to rooting. I'll wait a little though for a more concrete path and at least a rom to flash.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] nastypup:
I've never used Samsung Pay but I need a rooted phone to restore a ton of data. Stock ROM is adequate for me. I played with custom ROMs years ago and they were just a time suck. I was flashing them almost daily. The stock ROM is good as long as its rooted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Robalboa:
Samsung pay is the only way to use MST or use ur phone for old card swipers. But thats your call
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] nickmus:
Samsung pay is useless to me. And as far as I can tell that's the only benefit to not rooting. I've read there are other benefits but that's the only one I've seen posted, Other than warranty.

To me; rooting is more beneficial. Removing advertising is the biggest. Then a basic debloated rom is second. Adding apps that are not usable on non-rooted phone would be my third reason.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Sim-X:
I'm kinda feeling the same way. Can't use Samsung Pay as a total replacement anyway and I just looked they don't even support Capital One cards at least yet anyway. That was one thing google did right back in the day with wallet, you could link any card. Still looks cool but ad block is one of the main reasons I root as well. I'm giving AdGaurd a shot (I use that on my desktop) and you can side load it to Android it creates a local VPN connection to the app to filter all traffic. Kinda annoying you always have a notification saying it's running also doesn't block youtube ads which Xposed worked awesome for that. I miss TI as well. Warranty void I feel so so about. S-OFF you could at least remove a tampered flag on an HTC although HTC would still have record of you doing a dev unlock token even if reset everything.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] nickmus:
Warranty doesn't bother me. I'll just drop it in a lake and get a replacement for $100.

Don't get me wrong, it's a nice phone. But without root, I can't say it would be worth keeping.

I'm using the same ad quick fix. But I would be willing to wait 6 months for a bigger phone even if I can't root, for this price.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] :
Youtube ads

You can use firefox browser for youtube ad free expierence and play while screen off. Install firefox browser, then install ad block plus add on. All ads will be blocked on fire fox, so youtube is now ad free, no ads at all. The video will still play if you leave firefox and use another app or turn screen off. No root is required.

Nice, can you do the same on Chrome mobile?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] ryan2202:
Man there seems to be a lot of confusion out there with this one so far. Supposedly folks are rooting and making kernels and roms. And everyone keeps referencing Samsung Pay breaking with root and/or Knox tripped. What about Android Pay? And once Knox is tripped, does that kill the fingerprint scanner? What are the other side effects of rooting as of right now? There are a couple rooting threads that are Closed without much information. Why were the threads closed?

I came from an S4 on SOKP which was pretty amazing. That phone was set up exactly how I wanted and rarely had any issues, but the hardware was way behind. The S7 has been great so far. But there is still some **** I cant stand and want to root to fix (ie you cant disable/remove the Samsung calendar. I use Google calendar so no need to two calendars, the same goes with Browser). Otherwise, for the most part, this phone is pretty damn sweet right out of the box once you disable what you dont want. Id rather remove instead of disable but its a step in the right direction.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Robalboa:
one last quick note. you can disable almost all the bloatware and theres not much any way

plus the customization's are endless . no need for root. battery goes 2 days i dont see any benefit

and ive had a rooted phone since G1 (way back)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Ramer:
I'm on the no root bandwagon too. Been really happy with the phone as is. Got a 200 gb card today and did the partitioning method to split the card between adoptable storage and standard, don't think I'll need to be moving apps2sd for a long while. ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Soooperstar:
I was thinkin the samething, and I too rooted every phone until this one. I average 20+ hours of battery with hard usage. It has everything you want out the box. Only thing I'm lacking is all my themed apps and I am able to get some of those working

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] jph8tr:
I used to root right away. Root was a necessity. With each successive phone, my need for root has diminished. With my G3, the only thing root did for me was run greenify root, change the down volume to flashlight and tether. That's it. It would seem that free tether (that I almost never do) can be done without root, greenify doesn't require it and the volume thing is G3 specific. I would rather have it and completely understand those that will not buy or will return for its omission , but I no longer need it.

So strange seeing so many xda users be pro stock/unrooted. I'm considering upgrading to this device, I imagine after a couple weeks of using Samsung Pay I'd be over it pretty quickly. Last thing I want to do is take time to explain what I'm doing to a clerk when I have a dedicated debit card in my back pocket I know will 100% work at their register.
