Yeah, flash SuperSU BEFORE you're device boots after flashing TWRP with Odin. Interrupt the initial boot manually if necessary by pressing volume down /power buttons until it shuts off , then volume up, home and power buttons together to boot to custom recovery and flash SuperSU. Profit
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] fpskuji:
So after the flash saying "pass" in the odin window, I'm gonna interrupt the boot process immediately or wait for something else?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] DSR_1106:
Exactly , don't worry about unplugging phone from Odin. Once you see pass, start the process by pressing and holding volume down and power buttons and then let go when screen flashes and press and hold volume up, home and power buttons to boot to custom recovery and flash SUPERSU that's it .

Need to pay close attention to stopping that 1st boot though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] fpskuji:
I already went to TWRP recovery mode and installed the zip superSU and rooted my phone, Thank you for the advice :D :D :laugh:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] DSR_1106:
A thumbs up would have been the appropriate response...

Disable OTA updates?

Whats the best way now that I'm fully rooted and have TWRP installed to Disable OTA updates ? I've read some guides but was wanting to make sure i use the most update method especially running MM
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
Once you root, OTA's are disabled, as Samsung blocks them
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] DSR_1106:
You can't receive ota updates on a rooted device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] mys6iskindabroken:
When flashing TWRP my phone goes into a bootloop. can fix this by flashing stock ROM, but then I lose TWRP. Even if I boot to TWRP first, booting to system always results in a boot loop. Any suggestions?

Is rooting enough for uploading purpose?

Quick question. I need to root my son's phone in order to upload a spy/ children protection software on it. For some reason, the software company is saying that it can not be rooted. I don't know why they are saying that 6.0.1 on Sprint Galaxy S6 can not be rooted.

I am completely new to this rooting process and will try the steps you have mentioned. Is it necessary to install a ROM after rooting the device. Please advise. Thanks so much!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:

Will this work with any version of Marshmallow ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
The root itself *May* as for TWRP, no it will need to be updated.

[MENTION=5776618]1619415[/MENTION], this video from esteemed member [MENTION=3257216]qbking77[/MENTION] shows everything about flashing back to stock, might be a big help for n00bs. Want to link to it from the OP, perhaps?

do i download the cf autoroot from my phone or on my pc?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
To your PC
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] CyberAnt703:
what do i do if my phone doesnt show up when i plug it into the pc?sorry for so many questions
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
Try changing ports and look in Odin for "Attached" or "Removed" and look for a light blue box that says something about "COM<NUMBER>"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] sandman512:
Good morning, will this work on a Sprint S6 Edge running 6.0.1? Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
The process will but you will need to use THIS CF-Auto Root as for TWRP, you'll have to find that on your own (sorry)

>*FOR G925P ONLY*<
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] matthewak:
I have G920R7... J4 (i believe US cellular / cspire is very similar to sprint) on 5.1.1.

I see there is a PC1 update available which is 6.0 marshmallow.

Am I able to root either? Thanks,
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
Not sure, personally I would not use cf auto root as it's for a different device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] khongson91:
Does it work on new update PD2?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] quagman:
Repeated procedure but no root

I followed the instructions here, but neglected to turn on Developer Options and OEM unlock. As a result, I got the installation blocked by FRP Lock. My phone was bootable so I went in and turned on Developer Options and OEM unlock, and simply reinstalled using the instructions. No error messages with the installation, but when I checked my phone using Root Checker Basic, it says it is not rooted. Am I missing something here?

Thanks,

Dave

Try installing SuperSU from the playstore.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] quagman:
I uninstalled SuperSu, then reinstalled it from playstore. When I open it, it says "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSu cannot install it." Help?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] quagman:
On boot-up, I'm also getting the message "Kernel is not Seandroid Enforcing" but the phone still boots up normally but unrooted. Do I need to re-flash the stock firmware, then repeat the procedure in the OP?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
I'd reflash and start over
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Samstealth7:
has anyone been able to confirm if either of these root methods work on PD2? thanks in advance

Working on a new TWRP now
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Zylus:
Not Working, Help

So when I follow the instructions and click "start" a second goes by and "Custom Binary(RECOVERY) Blocked by FRP Lock" in green and black shows up, then ODIN says "Failed."

I'm completely new to rooting and whatnot so I don't really know if I'm asking for help in the wrong place but some help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm using a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
You will need to attempt to boot back into your stock system, enable developer options and enable OEM Unlocking
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Zylus:
Worked But I need Help with TWRP

It worked! Thanks! But from what I understand, I will need to do the optional TWRP part of your instructions if I want a custom ROM, but I can't seem to figure it out. It says to use the AP tab again but the recovery file I downloaded doesn't show up when I look in the folder that I extracted it to. Again sorry for the "noob" questions and thanks for any help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
Make sure to use the full tar file, don't extract it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Zylus:
Worked. Update. Need help with installing ROM.

So I got it to work but soon after I screwed some stuff up by installing flashify along with twrp manager and accidentally flashed/installed TWRP through there after having already installed it and thus ran into some issues. I sort of fixed it though but then decided to just factory reset and start over fresh. I now have rooted and installed twrp. I have installed flashify, busybox, and twrp manager because that seems to be what I'm supposed to do. The only issue I now have is getting a custom ROM. I decided the simplest thing to do/ ROM to get would be Cyanogenmod considering that it seems to be something of a standard and seems to fit what I need. I have looked around but can't really figure out what to do. Either help or direction to where I should go for help with this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
Cyanogenmod probably won't be available for this device anytime soon due to the fact Samsung doesn't share chipset source.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Zylus:
Any recommendations

Oh ok, well do you have any recommendations in terms of ROM's? As I said I'm very new to all this and the main reason I did all this was to get a ROM because I really wanted to be able to customize my phone completely. Thanks for any help.

PS- Thank you so much for helping me and I'm sorry for the troublesome or questions/issues
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] DSR_1106:
Maybe check the s6 general development thread for information
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] JediOmen:
Fantastic job, I appreciate the hard work that went into making this operational on the S6.

As a note, you may want to mention in the guide, for the benefit of the younger or inexperienced members, that updated samsung drivers will also need to be installed.

Keep up the great work! :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] iHuyou:
I followed the instruction and Odin said root was successful. But when I installed and open SuperSU, it said "There is no SU binary installed, ad SuperSU cannot install it. There is a problem!" Did I do anything wrong? Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
Make sure you do EVERY step!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] quagman:
This works great. The playback problems also occurred with Google Play Movies and Disney Movies Anywhere, and this fix solved those issues too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] TheFlashh:
Help

There is no SU binary installed, ad SuperSU cannot install it. There is a problem!, I did every step correctly
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] minhcavaldos@gmail.com:
you should be install rom stock again...then factory reset wipe cache...after that...root again...worked for me
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Paul.wpl:
This is the first time i go into rooting a cellphone, so i am not quite sure if i should do it, do i have to follow the optional twrp install step ? i have an s6 SM-G920P with android marshmallow 6.0.1, thanks in advance for your helpful advice.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
Yes, install it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] runt:
Not seeing this in the thread, but does this trip KNOX?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
Yes. There is no means anymore to root a Samsung phone without tripping Knox.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] runt:
Well, that stinks. That would make it hard at the end of my lease unless Sprint doesn't check that when turning in your phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] runt:
Ok. I'm guessing you have to use the stock ROM to use Samsung Pay as well (got gift cards through it that I can't use until the wife gets hers).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] runt:
Well, $120 in free Toys R U gift cards when you have a toddler & baby 2.0 on the way is hard to say no to.

---------- Post added at 10:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 AM ----------

Next question is, what is a good ROM for the SM-G920P without TouchWiz?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] runt:
I've noticed. I hate TouchWiz so at this point I can't even seen a point in rooting since I will be stuck with it anyway.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] runt:
After owning a couple of Nexus devices, I really prefer stock Android. I do agree that it has gotten better though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] dpwhitty11:
Do either methods work on PD3?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
Yes they do. To be more specific, either method will work for you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Swiftl3y:
PD3

So it will work on PD3 but will any Tar file for the spring gs6 off TWRP website work properly now (no need for custom one provided?)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
You have now asked this question in three places: here, on my thread and on a thread that you just opened.

I answered you once, that the TWRP version that I offered has been tested and works. I don't know why you won't use that, what your concern is.

If you want to try a different version, go ahead. Let us know how that works for you.

Good luck.

nand error writing

trying to root my S6 that's never been rooted before. Running into a NAND Write fail error, see attached photo. I'm on Version: G920PVPU3CPB6, phone's been nagging me for weeks about upgrading but I'm holding off just in case there's issues with PD2. I tried the stock cable and two other micro usb cables.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
First thing to try:

Settings -> About Device -> Tap on Build number until you enable Developer options.

Back to settings, go to Developer options and put OEM unlock to on.

See if that works.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 3aaaz:
is it working with PD3 without trip the KNOX
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
You cannot root any 6.x version without tripping Knox.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] badkarmah187:
OEM unlock worked

OEM unlock worked, thanks bud!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 3aaaz:
will the knox be reset to zero.

no su now

OK, Now I'm able to flash CF-Auto-Root-zerofltespr-zerofltespr-smg920p.tar.md5 with ODIN and running the SuperSU app it says SU binary is not installed and SuperSU cannot install it.

I flashed TWRP's recovery.tar the optional section, and verified that I can get into TWRP recovery with - Vol up, home, + PowerButton. I flashed the hotspot.zip but realized it's not working because I don't have SU?

Any solution for this? Is there a way to simply flash the su binary?

I'm on G920PVPU3CPB6 Andriod 6.0.1

thanks!

---------- Post added at 05:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 PM ----------

I ended up flashing: BETA-SuperSU-v2.68-20160228150503.zip to get SU (root seems to work now)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] koop1955:
No. You will lose the ability to use Samsung Pay; for most people that is all they lose. But it will never be reset.

I was just putting some more music on my OnePlus One (using MTP on my pc) when I got slightly irritated of all the junk folders on it. I decided I should clean some of them.

After I finished copying my music I noticed my phone couldn't access the internal SD anymore. I did a reboot, same thing. It kind of shows my SD now, but it's almost empty...

When I attach it to my pc, I see the same (almost none) files.

Anyone an idea what I did wrong, and how to fix?

Many thanks in advance.

Have you tried using fastboot to go back to stock? You will lose all of your data if you do this, so hopefully you have a backup on your pc. It seems like something happened with your partitions when you were deleting stuff.
[Huawei Watch] chezy86:
Hi everyone had the watch for 2 weeks now as an upgrade to the Huawei talkband B2. Firstly i love the look of the watch and the screen is superb but for the money i expected a little bit better. The talkband B2 counted my steps accurately, it knew when i was riding my bike without doing anything, it tracked my sleep accurately. The all singing all dancing Huawei watch does not track sleep why?. The report of steps between google fit on my xiaomi mi5 differs massively from the watch as the watch counts biking as walking which is poor to say the least. The only other issue i have encountered so far is compatibility issues between google and dual sim phones, so for example asking google to send sms to someone works until it comes to sending and it cant differentiate between sims so you need to allow it to send on your phone which sort of defeats the object. The only way i can get it to work is to prioritise sims which then routes any call through 1 sim again sort of defeats the object of a dual sim phone as i want to choose which sim to send it on. Also cards from google re appearing even though they have been dismissed earlier seems to happen quite often. Still love this watch its stylish and the build quality is excellent so hoping someone can help me or future updates from Huawei and Google address my concern.
[Huawei Watch] nano303:
It could be just me....but i noticed on the last rom i was on it kept lagging on me and acting all sorts of weird i finally updated the ROM and watch works great now.
[Huawei Watch] kbboykin:
It also could just be me, but I find the watch grossly misses my steps, compared to my Fitbit Charge HR, Gear S2, and iWatch. It usually lags behind by 1500 -2000 steps at the end of the day. I have taken 100 steps and none were detected and then repeated it with exaggerating my arm swing and it picked up about 60%. I'm a small guy, but that should not matter I would think. Would love to get rid of my Fitbit Charge HR, but can't relay on my HW Watch accurately counting my steps with normal walking and activity.
[Huawei Watch] kimtyson:
It will track sleep if you have the app Sleep with Android.

Hey guys,

I'll start by saying that i know i messed up realy bad and it is my fault, but i'm trying to revert this to no avail..i wouldn't make this post if haven't tried every possible solution i found.

So let's start,

I have a honor 7 PLK-L01 as the tittle says, i recently unlocked and rooted my phone, but i didn't make any backup (i know :/) because TWRP was in chinese..

After that i got into a bootloop, and i tried installing stock roms i got from here and other places, i tried every possible solution for 2 days now..

The only ROM i could get working was "PLK-UL-TL-CL_EMUI3.1_Android5.1_5.12.16" (can change language to english tho but some menus are still in chinese.),

wich is chinese and says my ip isnt supported when i try to log in to honor and comes with tons of chinese bloatware.

It only worked flashing with adb, flashing through dload (error when i tried to update) and TWRP (always get the error "No md5 file found") didnt work..

I've tried these full version ROMs and always end up in a boot loop:

PLK-L01C432B100

PLK-L01C432B121

PLK-L01C432B130

I used this guide to install de ROMs: http://xdaforums.com/honor-7/general/guide-beginners-how-to-root-update-fix-t3255452

I've tried using adb manual and using multitool, getting the same resuslts..(always using latest versions)

I dont understand how that a chinese rom could work tho, as it says on the info that it's the version PLK-C00B618 and my phone is PLK-L01(at least i think it is...the box where it came says it is the L01...), must be a custom ROM of some sorts?

So i was wondering if i could get some help on what i am doing wrong.

I just want to get back to stock with auto updates like i was before, and only mess with this when there's stable custom ROMs available..and always doing backup ofcourse (silly me..)!

Hope i you guys can help me with my problem, thanks a lot!

Hey Guys, I have been waiting for this Case to arrive! I have always had my UAG cases as my goto cases for my phones. But as many of you on the forum, I switch cases often. It really depends on what I am doing or where I am going. UAG just started shipping these out. I got the ICE version. It features slim design, light weight and great protection for your phone.. It doesn't bunch up the screen protector either. I don't have a glass version to test but I will report back once my ICAREZ comes in. For now my Supershieldz is holding up nicely. No lifting at all. But I have the dents the film gets.

Here is my review of the product

My favorite cases at this time are the Spigen (Kickstand), Supcase Unicorn beetle, and the UAG.

https://youtu.be/FN7jNrUffvY
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Beefheart:
Each to their own but it's far too bulky and ugly for me. No point in having a phone that looks as fantastic as this if you're going to change it to something from a 1960s Star Trek episode.

Nice in depth review though.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] AvivEliyahu:
Really love u uags cases, protected my phone from 4 meters drop! (and of course smaller heights).

It's main disadvantages are it's price (including shipping to my country) and the plastic screws at the back are annoying in my hand.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] ldc2335:
Can't wait for nine to come in. Shipped from UAG direct in Japan.

I love them. The design on the back provides nice grooves for your fingers to rest in for one handed use.

And maybe it's the military in me, but the tactical look is bad ass. I get complimented all the time with my note 4 and lg v10.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Christian99:
I don't know why you guys are waiting for it. I got mine 3 days ago a small cellphone accessory device. 48$ Canadian. But it doesn't come with a glass protector. I don't thing I will need one since the case itself provide a wide protection for the front panel. I really like it so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] itesla:
Can you guys post some pictures of how these translucent ICE cases look after being on the edge for months? I am looking to upgrade my S4 (with black UAG case) to S7edge, and really don't like these translucent ICE cases. I wish UAG would make a black case for S7edge (just for me if not every one else ;) ). I don't like the look when you can see through the case, distorted print/logos on the phone is visible. Also worried about how much crud accumulates under the case and is visible. Also with these translucent cases, there is no second layer of soft rubber protecting the whole phone, just on the corners I think.

Also, how well has the UAG protected your S7edge after many months of use? Better than "Supcase Unicorn Beetle", it seems to be next closest to this "tactical style" that UAG came up with.... and they have black :)

Thanks in advance!!!!
