[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
1. S-off isn't needed for many folks. As mentioned above, you can root, flash ROMs, kernels, and lots of other mods just by unlocking the bootloader on HTCDev.com, which is a free and pretty easy process.

You'll need s-off if you want to flash a modified hboot, manually flash radios, change to another version (change CID and MID), and a few other things.

2. You can't flash anything with stock recovery, that isn't intended for your version. But with an unlocked bootloader (and that is the key, you can't mod anything with the bootloader locked), you can flash custom recovery, and flash a GPE based ROM from the Development section.

LTE Band 2? You need to be specific when talking about bands (3G or LTE). I'll assume LTE Band 2. The nv value mod only works on the Sprint and Verizon (CDMA) variants. To change band support (if you need Band 2 on your carrier), you'll need to flash a radio baseband for a version that supports the desired band. And to do

that

you'll need s-off.

---------- Post added at 09:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 AM ----------

To clarify this statement, s-off is only needed if you want to "fully convert" to the GPE version by RUU (makes it essentially a fully stock GPE phone in terms of software). The only advantage to this, is if you want the GPE partition scheme (smaller system partition, which results in more user storage) and official GPE updates. The downside, is that you can no longer install Sense ROMs (system partition is too small) unless you convert back. Plus, it will also give you the band support of the GPE version (which does not include LTE band 2 that you are apparently looking for).

In any case, as mentioned, you don't need to "fully convert" to run a GPE ROM. Just flash a GPE based ROM (after unlocking bootloader and installing custom recovery).

After rooting and unlocking my bootloader for my Verizon Note 3 , my 16 gigabyte SD card was only shut when it had 15 megabytes... I reformatted it and still the same thing , 15 megabytes. I thought this may be because my SD card was several years old so I bought a new one. Same size 16 gigs.

I had to flash back to stock so I went through the root process and unlocking process again with a new SD card. And now it also says it's only 15 megabytes. I've tried reformatting it several times and nothing helps.. Is anyone else having this trouble?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WishRyder:
The unlock process creates a large number of small partitions on the SD card. I was having trouble getting Windows disk management to open with the card inserted, so I used MiniTool Partition Wizard (free) to remove all partitions from the SD card and create a new single partition.

Are you by any chance running WeatherPanel?

If so, go to "Program Files\MarsWare\WeatherPanel\Themes" and remove any files that end in .ttf.

They are font files that are conflicting with the Comm Manager.

Thank so far, but what are the files. How can i see it's ttf. file:confused:

So, I've gone through the tedious task of rooting my Note 4 and I'm familiar with editing the feature.csc file back when I had my S4. When I make any edits to the file and save, no back up file is created and the changes are actually saved. I'm using Root Explorer to edit the file. Also, when I try to rename the file, it's fails. Hope there is something I'm missing to get this feature working again.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purlek:
After around 5-6 hours this morning/afternoon, I've officially given up on fixing this on my own, and I've all but accepted my device to be a $600 paperweight.

I decided to make one last attempt at saving it by posting for help.

Problem: My phone has a feature called "FRP" (Factory Restore Protection), which is tied to one's Google account. Basically, if you have a Google Account on the phone, it locks the phone to any custom binary/custom OS/whatever.

Once I realized this, in order to root my phone, I went in and removed my Google accounts. Sure enough, this disabled the FRP Lock, and I was able to root my device.

After rooting my device, I re-added my Google accounts and went about my business for the next couple of weeks or so.

Just this morning, my phone was having issues charging, so I decided it'd be a good idea to give my phone a reboot. Big problem. It turns out I simply haven't ever turned off my phone since I rooted it. On top of that, I didn't think the FRP Lock would apply to booting the phone, I thought it only affected flashing new firmware. I was wrong.

After my phone turned off, red text appears at the top of the screen: "Custom binary blocked by FRP Lock".

This is the problem. It simply cannot boot. Because it cannot boot, I cannot remove the Google accounts to disable the lock and resolve the problem. Because the lock can't be disabled, I can't flash the phone's original firmware, because FRP Lock will stop anything and everything I try to do.

---

Goodbye 1k+ photos on phone... And, well, goodbye *phone*.

Unless someone has any helpful thoughts! And that's why I'm here.

tl;dr: Soft bricked phone due to FRP Lock. Not able to restore original firmware, factory restore, or boot into phone's operating system.

Important: The phone turns on, and I have access to the recovery menu as well as "Download Mode"

---

What I have tried:

Factory restoring through the recovery menu, doesn't have any effect

Flashing stock firmware through Odin (Nand write failure)

Flashing a custom recovery environment (TWRP) through Odin (FRP Lock blocked this flash)

ADB and Fastboot cannot recognize the device

Tried to use Kies 3 and Smart Switch to "re-initialize" my OS or something. Both failed, saying that my phone wasn't compatible, and that my serial number was invalid (it was, in fact, correct)

---

And I probably did more things that I simply don't remember. The point here is that I've done everything, and literally everything has failed for one reason or another.

I feel like it is a possibility that if I attempted another stock ROM, then I might be able to avoid the Nand Write Failure. But again, I don't know, and I've almost accepted that I need to start looking for cheap alternative phones.

Thanks in advance, I really hope that this can be fixed one way or another. I'd be sad to see my photos disappear, but if it was the only way for my phone to work again, I could live with it.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
have you tried delete the operating system and then flashing a stock rom using odin

by deleting the OS you have a blank phone with google deleted, thus disabling FRP lock.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purlek:
I thought about doing that, but I have no way of wiping the phone. What do you suggest?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
you can wipe the phone through recovery. it is under the advance section. you will need to delete each section manually.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yarraque:
1. Go to download mode

2.Untick auto reboot,

3.Flash twrp

4.do not reboot to system, reboot to recovery.

5. Install super su and reboot system

Done.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purlek:
I am not running a custom recovery OS, there is no Advanced section. :s
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purlek:
When I try to flash TWRP (or anything for that matter), FRP Lock blocks the flash.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yarraque:
Go to the developer settings and unlock "oem unlock" thing. Try again.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purlek:
I was unable to boot into the phone.

However, I've more or less resolved the issue.

The issue was that when I was first trying to flash stock firmware, I was using an old version. I've read since then that that doesn't work. So I spent 15 hours+ downloading the latest firmware of 6.0.1, and sure enough, it flashed successfully.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] kench33:
Looking for people who have had it for a month+. Is it already lagging or getting any worse for you? What do you like or dislike about it? Currently using a 6p and I held an s7 edge and liked it a lot but I'm unsure if I want to purchase it.

Also if you switched from a 6p your opinion would be a huge deal breaker. I am rooted running pn and some xposed modules that I might potentially miss being on the s7 edge.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] physicsguymatt:
I switched from a Note 3 last month (VZW S7E Gold, pre-order, received March 9). I thought I would miss the larger screen, the stylus, IR blaster, but I'm liking it more than I thought I would. It just feels so much better in the hand and in my pocket. Even the screen is nicer to look at. The pictures, no comparison, so much better.

One thing I've noticed is the LACK of lag. I haven't restarted the phone in almost 2 full weeks and there's absolutely no lag whatsoever. My Note 3 would need a reboot every couple of days for a refresh due to lagginess. Now I'm trying to see how long I can go without a reboot. Battery life has been great. I use it to tether at work a lot (get around the work filter) so I can't speak for the screen-on time as the tethering uses a lot of the battery, but I did get over 4 hours SOT at one time. I did have the SD notification issue, but it went away on its own, hoping it doesn't come back. The kids and I have also been using the Gear VR and we all love it, no overheating issues, no bugs, it just works.

Other than the VR stuff, I have no games, mainly use it for internet, tethering, navigation/Android Auto, Samsung Pay (love that!), XDA, etc.

So other than the worry about the SD notification I have no down-side. I do travel a bit, for work and with the family, so that will be another test as I'm out and about around the country to see how it holds up, but I'm confident it's a keeper. At first I just got it to hold me over until the Note 6, but now I don't feel the need for the bigger screen anymore.

Edited to add: Forgot to mention, I was rooted and yes, xposed was nice and there are some modules I could use back, but nothing that makes me want to go back. The pros outweigh the cons for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] h3ck:
I've had it since March 9th (couple days before launch) and I absolutely love it. I do sometimes feel like there are a couple small cons, but by and large I love this phone. I came from a S6 previously and it's just different enough to have me obsessed with it.

The thing I'm really surprised about is how much I enjoy the gear s2. It works really well with the phone. I had full intentions of selling it. Now it's part of my arsenal. Answering a call in the car while using it is definitely clutch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] kench33:
What is this notification you're talking about? Yeah I definitely wish I would have gone for the vr and phone deal but I missed it. Yeah rooting can sometimes be a huge pain to deal with.

Oh I see, I don't know if I would purchase the gear s2 but those are some good points. How is your battery after a month?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] h3ck:
I got the gear s2 free (totally wouldn't have bought it either hahaha). The battery is superb. I'm a power user, forums, social media, websites, reddit, camera, camera, camera, etc. Lol

I usually take off the charger at 4 to 5am and only rarely make it to about 11pm with less than 10% know that's a YouTube, camera heavy day). Battery life is night and day to the S6.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] physicsguymatt:
There quite a number of posts about it. It's a persistent notification of the SD card being ready for photos and videos. It's apparently a regular mounting/dismounting issue, but no word/proof if it's hardware or software related. Very sporadic and hard to pinpoint the cause or solution. Mine just went away. Seems to be more prevalent on first batch models. Not much lately on it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] jroyalty7:
Came from a 6p running PN and xposed as well and I have had the SGS7e for about a month. Being perfectly honest I haven't picked up my Nexus since then. I originally switched from the SGS6e to the 6p strictly because of the lack of development and rooting, swore I would never go back to Sammy, I still kind of hate them for allowing the carriers to bully them into locking down these phones but it is what is. Now after being able to do what I want for a while on my Nexus 6p, and loving it, I ran into the situation where I had to switch from AT&T to Verizon due to signal issues (I work in the hospital). I was able to get 2 SGS7e's on a BOGO deal so figured I'd give it a shot, and again haven't really looked back. Yes the TouchWiz interface still socks a bit, the lag is definitely a lot less now, hardly ever honestly, but still not like the 6p on PN... you just can't make that combo lag, always crisp and smooth! There are more adjustments/settings you can make to TouchWiz now so I don't totally miss exposed, but again everyone uses different modules so my experience may be different then yours, I mainly used exposed for visual tweaks etc... This phone will probably never see root so that is something I have to live with, but I will probably sell my 6p on Swappa and save the money towards the next nexus in case I get sick of no root. But for now the SGS7E works for me, I don't have a ton of time to root and tweak and figure out issues right now, the size is just right (the 6p is a tad bigger than I prefer), the interface is improved on the edge, more little niches to tinker with, the Camera is definitely better, and overall I just like using it better now. But again the 6p is no slouch, crisper/quicker/cleaner running for the most part and all the roms and tweaks you can ask for lol. Decisions, decisions lol its a great dilemma to be stuck in!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] stark23x:
Came from a rooted S6, but I really only rooted it (and stopped updates) to manage the battery life and keep tethering. After having the S7 Edge for slightly less than a month, I can say I almost don't miss root. No, actually, I can't see a reason I *need* root on this phone. I'd do it if I could, but it's just not needed. I don't even run any of the disabling apps. I've manually turned off a few Verizon bloat apps though.

Lag is non-existent, battery life has settled nicely. I can get an entire day and then some, with about 4 hours screen time. I have the always on screen off, as I don't need a clock and that's pretty much all it's good for right now. I have Google Now voice off as well. Other than that I'm running all the usual battery hogs. I do have aggressive doze set in Greenify. I forgot to put the phone on the charger last night after a full day of use, including some photos, Facebook, some light gaming and a few phone calls. This morning I woke up and it still had 41%. I'm pretty happy.

This is also the lightest, most useful Touchwiz Samsung has ever done. I feel like it kind of improves stock Android, tbh.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] kench33:
Yeah definitely I really hard decision. I may try to find one on swappa if the price is right.

Can you still tether? I have unlimited and that's the main reason I like to root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] stark23x:
I just downloaded the free FoxFi, went through the install and tethered my laptop to respond. So yes, it works!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] kench33:
You have unlimited data too or a gb plan?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] h3ck:
Your last sentence is something that strikes a tone with me. I think some android fans find it popular to spew touch wiz hate. I get it, look at my signature, I've been with Android since Nexus and stock were one in the same.

Vanilla Android is fast and clean and beautiful. Buy by no means is it perfect or the best user experience.

TouchWiz is not perfect, it's not better or worse. It just has some enhancements that I think people always neglect. Samsung was supporting USB OTG and had split screen multitasking before anyone. Now it will finally be in Android. That's just one example. My point is this phone gets to that final level that a skinned phone can match or really surpass a Nexus in functionality, despite the popular concensus. It's a stellar phone, not just hype.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] stark23x:
I gave up unlimited when I realized that we just weren't using more than 2-3GB a month, like, ever. I was paying a lot for something I just never used. I took the money and upgraded my home internet instead, where I use more data than freaking Google :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] stark23x:
Totally agree. It's the very first time since the OG Droid that I am 99.975% okay without root. I'd love to be able to write to the hosts file and not use one of the VPN-style ad blockers. That is the one thing I miss now. And I'm not even that bothered by the ads.

Really love this phone.

The build we are an is soooo buggy. I am waiting for the next update to hit before I do anything drastic like sell it on swappa.

This whole experience has been crap. Like no gear 2 or vr headset after a month since it was supposed to ship. 2.5 to 3 hr of sot and the phone lasting half of the battery life that Sammy said it would get. The touch screen is way to sensitive so typing is a pain and apps launch on their own. The video camera stutter is horrible. The Bluetooth audio pops and cracks. And worse is big red is the farthest behind on bug fixes and security updates.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] _Dennis_:
Hasn't been buggy for me. Everything seems to work great, other then the 1 time I had to factory reset cause I couldn't get ADB to work.

That's a prizelogic failure, not a Samsung or phone failure. Plus the items were 4-6 weeks after approval. I'm not happy I have to wait either, but is not a month after the ship date.

Your phone may be faulty, mine does none of those, with the exception of sometimes my case makes hitting the power button hard so I slip and press an icon on the homescreen.

Verizon is almost always behind on updates, if you didn't realize that coming in you should have done a bit more research honestly.

Basically I see a lot of, my stuff isn't exactly how I imagined it, but I did not research and continue to refuse to look at ways to fix the problems I'm having.

My audio now cuts out after 3 seconds. Just started yesterday.

Also, I know vzw doesn't care about their customers, like the DROID line not getting their promised updates. I blamed it more on Moto, but it looks like vzw is that way with all their phones. We are 2 security updates behind what is available for this phone. Not good

Also prize logic is their vendor and the have a responsibility to ensure their promos are executed as promised.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] _Dennis_:
Check settings>location>improve accuracy >Bluetooth scanning. Might be trying to scan for Bluetooth to help location and messing up. Mine is off, but the audio never cut our even with it on.

Prizelogic is their contractor, and prizelogic sucks at communication. But 90% of what I've seen is 'delays' and even that is small compared to what they claimed. The rules are being followed, their system for updating information is crappy though.

I agree that we should get better updates to our phones.
