[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] mugsy77:
I miss root a lot, as well as tinkering around. I imagine if root doesn't happen in the next month or two I may be tempted to sell S7E. I am not loyal to any cell until it's really rootable. Options are everything.

Have their been any announcements on any teams or members working on root, or is this something people don't want to say in the event they are unsuccessful?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] afh3:
I'm rather enjoying using Samsung Pay at the moment. Can't say I'd want to lose that by messing with things.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] cpufrost:
Yes I do miss it.

Ad Away

Titanium

3Minit

Statusbar customization!

With unlocked bootloader:

Custom Roms and Kernels

It (was) amazing how much (better) a debloated and optimized TW rom ran.

I wish they would just give users the ability to unlock the bootloaders like HTC Dev.

Then, those who like to play, can.

Those who want to stay stock, use payments from their device, have mediocre battery life and lag, can! ;)

Fixed it for you. If we're going to post negotiate about one side, might add well be honest and post them about both.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] billjohnson:
Minus the 3Mint (never heard of it), I miss all of the above, in addition to Viper4Android. Man. The stock equalizer is aight, but I can't get half the power that I did out of Viper. And I never realized how many of my apps and pages had ads until I didn't have AdAway/root. I've developed, so I realize you have to make money, but most ads are most of the time inherently dangerous.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] geoff5093:
OP I am in the exact same boat as you. I had a Nexus 6P before I got the S7 Edge, and when I got it I told myself that I would keep it stock and just enjoy fast updates and smooth performance. Of course, I couldn't stay stock for more than a few days and ended up installing custom ROMs and kernels. It got to the point that every week or so I was flashing something difference. I thought this was a huge time waster, but I just couldn't stop from trying new ROMs as I always thought I could tweak something for just a bit better battery life and performance.

Now that I have the S7 Edge I do love that I keep it stock and don't waste time on those things, or spending hours on XDA. Although, I do miss the buttery smooth performance of the 6P, the S7 lags like crazy and overheats quite often.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] JediDru:
Dead on. I wasted a few years on the nexus program. It's fun but very tedious. Now I just enjoy my games and use my device. The fiancé much enjoys me not up late at night resetting things up due to a bad flash, bug, etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] jackscagnetti:
I cannot disagree with you more. I want to remove the bloat. I want to be able to modify the edge because i keep having unintentional touches. There should be an option to disable it. I want to be able to install apks that need root. I want Adblockers. I want to fully customize it . I want so much but this phone can not deliver any.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] geoff5093:
Sounds like you are actually agreeing with him...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Bxrider117:
That is what I mean. With rooting phones it becomes slightly tedious.

My wife has an iPhone and I admired how that phone just works with very few hiccups. I don't believe any phone is perfect, but I like Android better and I feel this phone is close to being perfect with a few quirks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] TechBSwift:
I miss adaway and titanium backup. I have nexus 6p and s7 edge. My s7 edge is my daily driver due to battery life, but when I'm home I only use my nexus to avoid ads and bloatware
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] mugsy77:
The honeymoon of a new and good device soon goes away. Then logic kicks in ;) I won't be that guy who says we won't ever get root, but I don't know if I can go another month of not updating my S7E with a custom rom, not having ad blocker, and a smoother and fluid device. Call me a sellout, but there is a line between denial and reality. A lot of folks are ok and willing to hang onto S7E regardless of root - not I. I would rather better performance and less battery with root than our current situation.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] billjohnson:
I'm the same. Working ad-blocker is a big deal for me. Among other things. May end up buying it out and selling it on swappa.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] mugsy77:
Ads are not just specific to only browsers, but also applications (those are generally the worst ones) and it seems the only way to block those are through a VPN.

There are many browsers now that offer ad blocking - Opera Mini just released theirs. If only CM Browser offered it ><
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] cpufrost:
LOL in my years of rooting, yes instability when o/c and using custom kernels, etc. But arguing that is like arguing instability when o/c a computer. If you know what you're doing you're fine. The ironic thing is today's locked down devices are so crippled and slow and often show instability too. I'd prefer to have choice in what I do with them.

Nothing ran smoother nor more stable than my S-OFF HTC One m8, Note 3 and Note 4 devices. Even Nexus 6 with its issues.

There's simply no excuse for the lack of standby runtime and laggy application response the S7E has given the hardware. If this device was open to development like in the past and we had real roms to run on it, it will be like a dream.

There are millions of devices vulnerable to stagefright to this day. And those are "locked down" too. :p

I could not care less as far as payment is concerned.

When you think about this, if the PC industry was like this it would go something like this:

You buy a computer with the latest and greatest hardware. It's got an Intel 6700K CPU, 32GB RAM, nVidia 980Ti GPU, etc.

Windows 10 is installed on the fast Samsung 950 Pro nvme SSD. All seems well. But it sits there churning away while setting up, preparing updates, updating its security settings, anti virus, etc. So much bloatware is installed. And you cannot take anything off. Just disable it. But certain things you cannot disable and must stay running. It feels sluggish almost as if it has a 7200RPM SATA drive. And at the desktop the task manager shows it using 6GB RAM with no programs open!

Scrolling in Firefox is choppy, system seems to freeze up when opening a video in VLC.

Lots of programs turn white with NOT RESPONDING at the top.

In your frustration, you want to format the HDD and load up Windows 10 from flash drive.

Oh wait, this system is locked down tighter than Fort Knox! Can't do that...

Luckily this is NOT the case.

I jailbreak iOS devices too and I feel that is much more risky security wise I like the flexibility it provides.

And like Android devices, I wish the flexibility was left up to the end user. Let users take their gambles and only give them support if they wipe their devices and restore to factory condition. They know the risks of living on the edge and shall be prepared to deal with the consequences.

TBH I would not miss root and customization that much IF the device real world performance was respective to its hardware specification. An 820 with 4GB RAM should FLY!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] _Dennis_:
I'm all for letting the customer decided, but you know you still have a decision. If root is important don't buy unrootable phones. While the customer should have the choice, the manufacture should to. It's up to the customer to give the manufacturer the incentive to allow rooting by buying phones that are rootable.

I bought the S7 edge knowing I couldn't root, and being fine with it, because I ensure in an informed consumer. Don't like something, don't buy it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] jackscagnetti:
The reason i switched to android a while back is because of the freedom to do what i like and of course android is cheaper than apple and i don't find rooting at all tidious. Its pretty quick to be honest. not being able to root feels like im locked in, restricted and censored. All things i do not like and avoid.

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killerbyte:
My phone randomly rebooted today and then got stuck in a bootloop.

After a few restarts the phone then sorted of booted but claimed that the data was encrypted and it asked for my lock pin. The phone then confirmed that the pin was correct but that the data was corrupted.

I then tried to boot to recovery. After doing POWER + VOL UP I get to the HTC FTM mode and then when selecting Reboot to Bootloader the phone just gets stuck in a bootloop and after a while it goes back to the "Your phone is encrypted" screen.

So I tried going to the download mode and it get stuck in a bootloop with the silver HTC logo (the one that pops up when you go into the download mode).

I cant seem to find a thread that deals with the issue I am experiencing. Any and all help will be appreciated.

So it got a little better and a lot worse.

I was able to get into recovery but download was still messed up.

I then tried a lot of things, including recreating the /data partition which didn't actually help.

I even tried flashing the hsod_signed.img from the RUU, that didn't help to fix the download mode.

I tried that because I can't get into RUU or download modes.

And now after flashing a stock recovery it then won't boot into recovery either.

This is the result after flashing twrp-3.0.2-0-hima.img

So as it stands I can't boot into recovery or download mode.

Failed to boot to download mode

Failed to boot to recovery mode

I can fastboot, so I am hoping people can just tell me how to fix it... or have I completely bricked it.

You can use the original camera with lady bug menu. In the lady bug menu you can set picture sizes.

Also there are helpful apps to get pictures smaller, like Send Reduced or some photo editor. So you can take photos with full quality and reduce them afterwards.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OMA2k:
Hi. I'd like to know if it's possible to install the Oculus Gear VR shop into a Note 3 phone. I know the Note 4 automatically downloads and install the Oculus software as soon as it's plugged into a GearVR headset, and this operation doesn't work in the Note 3. But, is there an APK somewhere that can be installed in the Note 3 to get the shop and download VR software from it to be used with a generic brand VR headset for smartphones? (not the GearVR).
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benyben123:
Hi everyone.

Thinking of getting either the international version of the S4 or the OnePlus One.

Will save some bucks if I get the S4.

With a new battery and MM custom ROM (are there stable ones?) I was thinking this might be a good device.

Or as owners would U say I should add a few $ and opt for the OPO?

Thanks a million!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3mel:
don't know the battery size of oneplus but the s4 benefits from carrying a spare or using a high capacity battery. opo has a much better CPU. always go newer for me...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benyben123:
Thanks for that input. The OPO has a 3,000 mhA battery and since I am a light user, lasts me 2 days (running stock CM 13 MM).

I guess battery wise the S4 would be a downgrade then. Carrying an extra battery is not an option for me as I will lose it within a week (:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3mel:
it's hard to judge but if you're getting two days usage out of 3000mAh then you should be OK with 2600mAh to get back to a charger again. roms with alucard's kernel can be underclocked and or undervolted as well as being run on a power saving profile. that said I'm sure opo has similar options available...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
You can also get a 3000mAh battery for the S4.

That being said, it really depends on how high the price difference is.

I personally would go for the OPO, because of the better specs. But I dislike the fact that it has no card slot. This is pretty much a deal-breaker for me.

Hi all, I'm a newbie. I did research but still couldn't find an answer, hope some experts can help me out. Thank you so much.

I'm trying to flash my 8125 and the software asked me for the SPL version of bootloader. Anybody know how can I find out the bootloader SPL version for my phone 8125 (or Pocket PC in general) any help would be really appreciated! Thanks in advance.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] akashastrega:
what rom is currently in it? is it stock? for instance, my MDA from tmo now has a stock rom (long, depressing story, don't ask) and the ipl/spl if memory serves correctly is 2.26

It shows on your initial boot screen in red letters (at least my tmo rom is in red). I'm NOT sure if the bootloader should have a seperate number but if not...simply soft reset your phone and as it boots look at the first screen to pop up and write down those numbers.

Wish I could help you more.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mestrini:
Another easy way is to get WST (check my signature) and read the "Device Info" as it will tell you what Bootloaders you have, the Gx type and much more :)

@ kadin27

what sw asks for the bootloader version before flashing? :confused:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] zabardast_1:
what software your talking about,with which you are trying to flash your device ?

windows mobile OS are packed into a package called 'Roms',which have the OS,OEM drivers,extended rom(contains applications) and Romupdateutility (RUU)which flashes the OS to the device,.When flashing it won't ask for any SPL version,but if the rom is a stock rom (official rom) with a higher Os version than already installed,will flash automatically without any verification of os ipl/spl.or if older than the present rom will not flash and stops with an Error code and it's explanation.

If you are trying to flash a non official custom build rom on a locked device it will also stop flashing with an Error code,or sometimes it seems it has flashed and ruu confirms on the pc 'Congratulations you have successfully upgraded'but when it reboots the previus OS loads up.But to flash a custom build ron,it's mandatory to have your phone CID unlocked,custom roms cannot be flashed to a cid locked devices.

SO,what are you using and what ERROR CODE it displays ?

Secondly, IPL/SPL versions are displayed when you power on or reboot the device on the initial first splash screen in red at the top of the screen.

OR as already suggested by mestrini download WST tool and run to check IPL/SPL and all other info about your device.

IPl/SPL are infect called the 'Bootloaders' :D
