Hoping over from T-Mo forums... Help us out too guys! If our device gets unlocked we can probably share the goodness with you as well since it has to be done with a software update or software. Sprint doesn't have someone like John Legere.... if we ***** at him enough he'll ***** at Samsung until we shut up. He hates having his Twitter spammed.

Same here. Going back to the s5. And

Taking this s7 back until it creaks root
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] metalfan78:
Yea, so I bought my s5 on Swappa about 2 years ago, tried to reactivate today, turns out it slipped through Swappa's verification process and it was a stolen device. It was immediately blacklisted last Tuesday when I activated my s7, so I'm pretty much screwed right now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Son Rise:
Wtfffff. U serious. Thats messed up man. Good thing is i got to keep my VR and the 64gb memory chip. Probably gonna get a note 4. Because of the vr. Then wait on the note 6
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] metalfan78:
Yea, it sucks. Swappa is trying to fix it and waiting for Sprint management to call me, so mad.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] yourbrotherrex:
I don't think you understand what a locked down bootloader is. It's not just that a dev has never cracked one (they haven't, ever), it's that a dev knows better than to waste their time trying. The chance of ever doing it are so infinitesimal, the concept of breaking one seems illogical.

Asking a dev to unlock this is like asking "Hey, do you have a second to jump through this pool table?"

Edit: a better analogy is asking someone to open a lock in a door, then realizing that neither the lock, nor the door, nor even the hallway even exist.

The international variant has root already which makes me so mad. I wish I could get 1 of the international ones and activate it on sprint. But don't give up so quickly the devs & cracked a locked bootloader before cause Verizon android phones have always had a locked bootloader on them & those phones have been cracked
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] :
I'm confused. Wasn't the s5 locked too?

Not on Sprint or T-mobile.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] Misterjunky:
ROOT

I have a sneaky suspicion that the Sprint S7 & S7 Edge will end up just like the

ATT & Verizon Note 5 and S6 Edge/Edge+ phones and will NEVER have root. LOL

I would strongly advice & suggest NOT to get rid of your current rooted phones at least not yet!!!

(unless you buy a different brand which can be rooted)

Have a great day!

I'm not sure I'd say it has been achieved. It borked his EFS partition, which means no working radio support. It's very definitely still a work in progress. Promising, but not there yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] yourbrotherrex:
If you'd take the time to read that thread, you'll realize that you basically have one dev who claims he got temporary root (still with a fully locked bootloader), who now has a borked phone, and also can't /won't explain how he achieved root in the first place, along with no proof of it happening.

Then, you have another, long-time, well-reknowned dev of XDA who dismisses the guy's entire work as "misinformation and trolling".

This famous dev says that, although it seems like unlocking the bootloader and gaining root would basically be a "normal" obstacle for him, and infers that it'd be simple for him to do it, also throws in the little tidbit of information that, unfortunately, he "doesn't work on devices that are part of XDA threads he moderates." (Basically, he says "I "could" do it, but my hands are tied because I'm a moderator for the S7.")

This is some old-timey XDA drama building up; you might want to make extra popcorn.

Tl;Dr: There is NO root for any Qualcomm variant of the S7/7Edge yet, at least there's definitely not from anything in that thread.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] bigbyte.me:
If root on locked bootloaders on Android is so difficult ( almost impossible it seems ) then Apple must learn something. Beacuse if the latest Apple iOS can be jailbroken it means their protection mechanism is inferior to locked bootloader on Android ?

The only other reason could be lack of dev community support due to lack of devices of one particular model.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] el_venga:
iOS "seems" to be easier because there are fewer exploits found within a year and android. Also, iOS devs work a lot more privately; means that they can take their time.

You are right on the part of dev community support of one particular model. in iOS, a vulnerability found in one of the devices would most probably work in the others with the same build. with android, it is not the case, not even from the same brand.

Million dollar question!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] sand1303:
they dont sell them but they will activate them and add the imei to the database. i have used unlocked nexus 6p, and unlocked moto x pure with my sprint line. just have to bring it into a store and they have to find a compatible sim card for it. best to take it into a repair center because they will have more sim cards laying around.

i am kinda disappointed in the locked bootloader though. i had a hard time finding a used s7 edge in my price range since they are so new still. i ran across a deal on a s7 for 400 cash and took it. i was gunna root it and run the superman rom that i have been seeing to add the s7 edge features but the root videos i saw was on the internation versions. tempted to buy a s6 edge plus if i can find a good price and root it to play with till the s7 gets a root. it's only a matter of time. everytime a device comes along with a locked bootloader everyone always is soo quick to return them and throw a fit. just be patient and it should come in time
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] WarAxe:
I took the S7 back to the store as soon as word broke of the locked bootloader. Reactivated my S5 like a boss!

But I'll go back to S7 in a second as soon as we have root. WHEN? WHEN? WHEN??!?

And...? I don't get the thread.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mpegger:
I'd like to update my One M8 to the latest iteration of Android available, but I haven't kept up with development since its release and am very confused as to my options and procedure.

To start with, I have a original release unlocked HTC One M8 GPE model, which I immediately converted to a stock T-Mobile Sense rom. In doing so, I obtained S-Off and SuperID as at the time it was necessary. It was also what seemed to be a one-way conversion from GPE to Sense, as trying to convert back would be very difficult (though not impossible). Ever since then, I have not bothered with any upgrades to the OS (other then a radio update), so afaik, it's still at the original rom/software versions of that initial release.

Reading from my Settings menu, I an on Android 4.4.2, Sense 6.0, ROM version 1.57.531.7, Kernal version 3.4.0-ga23aecb, Baseband 1.16.21331931, and Build number 1.57.531.7.

Reading from the boot screen, I am Unlocked, S-Off, CID-11111111, HBoot-3.16.0.0000, Radio-1.16.21331931.LA24G, and running with TWRP 2.7.1.0.

What I am confused about is, what would be the best and easiest option for me to update to the latest version. In reading some of the requirements for various roms, I can't tell which is using the latest available Android version, or if I need to do any updates to my M8 before I can even attempt to install the rom. I'm just looking to go back to a regular GPE rom, though I wouldn't mind any of the tweaks the custom roms bring, as well as having Xposed usage and root, both being a must!

Any advice or help to my upgrade path is much appreciated.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shirreer:
The fastest, easiest, and safest way to upgrade is to flash the latest stock, official HTC RUU for your device.

The link below will take you to HTC's page with instructions on how to flash the latest RUU for your T-Mobile M8 (SKU 531) and a download link for the latest marshmallow RUU - rom version 6.20.531.5 - at the very bottom.

AICP​

Android Ice Cold Project​

AICP is known by everyone as Ice Cold Project that started on Desire HD and since then evolved into a mature ROM with the BEST community you can find!!!

Until Lollipop, Rom has always been AOKP based. Unfortunately, since AOKP either stopped development or will make a comeback later this year, we changed our base to CM when it comes to hardware, drivers and some features.

If there are any bugs, either we will sort them or CM team if it concerns their modifications. This rom isn't CM supported so no need to report errors or bugs to them!!

Latest Stable Release Version 11

​

Full Changelog link: goo.gl/mIgmYG

​

Don't disable Heads-Up. You wont be able to answer phone calls otherwise.

You tell... :P

​

ROMS should contain everything you need to enjoy Lollipop. You are not required to install any Add Ons, simply download the latest ROM, gapps, flash it, and go!

You are STRONGLY recommended to fully wipe your device before flashing, and if possible avoid restoring system apps and system data with Titanium Backup - these can cause stability issues that are very hard to debug. If you believe you know what you're doing - then fine, go ahead, but please don't complain if you experience strange behavior.

How to flash:

Don't do it if you don't know it

ROM has gapps persistance in between dirty flashes

KERNEL:

Kernel in this rom follows CM source with custom additions.

PREREQUISITE FOR OTA:

To be able to flash over OTA app, TWRP recovery is needed.

You can still use CWM and OTA app, but only to download zip file and flash it manually from within recovery. Zip gets saved under AICP_ota folder on your internal SDcard.

If you want to contribute to the AICP or wanna see what is being worked on/merge feel free to visit our gerrit, link is at the bottom!!!

Gotta root mine.Got at Christmas and haven't had time yet.Gonna use wugs I think.Is there anything I should know before hand that my be different when rooting and flashing that is different from a phone?Just really don't want to mess up.Took the "N" ota and its screwed my player..
[Nexus Player Android Development] ElfinJNoty:
You'll need to fastboot OEM unlock for unlocking bootloader

Then need to fastboot boot twrp.recovery then install the recovery permanently by flashing it from within the booted twrp.recovery. so twrp needs to be on both PC and internal storage of nexus player.

Once you get twrp squared away, you can boot to and flash from recovery.

Bottom button on Nexus Player... Hold down while plugging in to enter bootloader. Short press to cycle, long press and release to select must be in bootloader when entering fastboot commands.

You will need a mouse connected via otg in order to do anything within twrp. I use a wireless Logitech k400 keyboard with a trackpad.

That's the crash course :)
[Nexus Player Android Development] Bright09:
thank you I'm glad to see more people developmenting for the Nexus player I'll have to try this out I'm stocked rooted with twrp and maybe make my 128gb pny worth using now thinking about getting some Ubuntu on their as well
[Nexus Player Android Development] ElfinJNoty:
Just make a backup in twrp(store the backup on external storage) and try it out. My previous testing, this wasn't ready for a daily driver if you use the Nexus Player for more than just Kodi. But when it worked well, it was very enjoyable
[Nexus Player Android Development] Bright09:
Sorry late response I haven't got to it yet thought just got a k400 while back for twrp and such was gonna ask which is stable I know I probably shouldn't ask that but most of them are nightlys unless you mean latest uploads are stable I haven't flashed nightlys for a long time since my old gs3
[Nexus Player Android Development] ElfinJNoty:
We'd have to ask [MENTION=6311143]Trafalgar Square[/MENTION] what the status of builds for the Fugu is. I take looks at the changelogs and have never seen specific commits for the Nexus Player. There is a build from the 23rd(yesterday) but I haven't tried any nightlies since the 13th... And that ran same as my previous attempts.

I'd really like to see the AICP tablet version! No AndroidTV UI. There isn't a current Marshmallow build in tablet mode for our device... The Pure Android build does not contain an overscan activity and can't launch the overscan.apk.

If I could formally request... AICP tablet version please ????

My first flash attempt via TWRP was successful, and flashed opengapps x86 pico. Can't make it through initial setup because play store and play services just keeps fc'ing
[Nexus Player Android Development] ElfinJNoty:
So no opengapps.... Going to retry in a bit with the leanback package
[Nexus Player Android Development] ElfinJNoty:
ive attempted to reinstall using leanback gapps and i was able to get through the initial install. setup wizard just fc'd right after entering wifi and there continues to be a constant fc of playstore and play services. almost identicle to the open gapps package.

id really prefer a regular gapps package, so i am going to continue testing some things.

I have not noticed a tablet ui anywhere, but it froze up after a minute or so

BTW - after first boot, and android is starting apps, is a cm bug that system will not load completely. is fixed by unplugging and plugging back in. this must be done after android has completed optimizing all apps(will be stuck at "starting apps")

also, initial setup with leanback apps does not work unless you manually set up. and again, it isn't completing the initial setup process so not sure whats up
