Hello everyone

I've always jailbroken my iPhones in the past, since it was such a constrained environment.

Since last year I've been rooting my Android Phones. Currently my new Note 5 is not rooted, since I'm questioning if I should root.

I've seen other threads that superficially deal with the PROS/CONS of rooting. I want to hear yours.

My PROS for rooting:

Greenifying apps for battery saving (though I'm currently not sure how much battery life is really saved)

Installing Xposed - I always use "no high volume warning", and "background youtube videos"

Use Amplify for battery saving

Use of F.lux or CF.lumen (for removing blue light at night)

Install apps like Youtube downloader by Arter97

My current CONS of rooting:

Losing the phone's warranty

The energy I spend being obsessed with battery performance

The bugs I encounter from time to time with rooted devices

Please share your PROS/CONS.

Are you someone who used to root phones? Do you currently do so? Why?

Thanks! :good:
[Galaxy Note5 General] malakalofung:
Also another downside is doze mode on MM. Read in a few threads, that rooting trips doze off, so be ready say bye bye to doze.
[Galaxy Note5 General] marubber:
Is this true? I've never heard this before.
[Galaxy Note5 General] gaston_garcia:
I'm not sure doze is working in my Note 5. I'm not rooted, but I've still got some battery drain while I sleep.

When rooted, with Greenify+Amplify+Supersu I had great stand by battery life.
[Galaxy Note5 General] James7Bond007:
I'm not sure what carrier you're on, but at least in the US:

Pro: wifi hotspot/tether hack

Pro: custom ROMs

Con: rooting trips KNOX, which disables both Android Pay and Samsung Pay.

Samsung pay is super convenient; there's rare occasions when I'll forget my wallet when heading out of the house, but I never forget my phone. Another handy use is to add credit cards that you don't use often enough to warrant carrying in your wallet, but want to have on hand for certain times (ie a hotel-branded card that you only use at hotels, for example). Finally, Samsung has offered some pretty decent promos to start using Samsung Pay. I think they gave me a $50 phone bill credit.

Yup. Check the below fix by [MENTION=3931450]dr.ketan[/MENTION]

If you have tripped knox you will need to flash SuperSU 2.68 or above to fix the the battery drain.

Anyone have an idea of what this 10288 usage is on the phone? Didn't notice it until last night...sorry idk how to attach an image on here yet
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] zathus:
I get these from time to time. Then they go away. I think it's just an error is usage reporting then it fixes it self. Give it a day
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] zetlaw:
I think its the process id of the process.

It is possible that you uninstall an app recently?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] the_scotsman:
It's an app that you have recently uninstalled.

You uninstalled an app that used some battery that's it it will go away

My phone is Huawei P8 lie (ALE-L21C636B170).

Version is 5.0.1(lollipop). I want to downgrade it to Kitkat version (4.4.4) . Can it be? If so please give me a link.

Thanks for your reply ??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guicrith:
What does this actually do to tell the bootloader that it is ok to unlock.

Write a 1 byte file to the system partition?

Write one byte of the bootloader?

Searching google just gave "How to Enable OEM Unlock to unlock your bootloader" articles nothing on how it actually works.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guicrith:
Finally found out how it works.

While trying to find my screen resolution while offline I checked getprop with terminal and sys.oem_unlock_allowed [1] came up.

I then checked /dev/__properties__ and it was there so it is enable by writing sys.oem_unlock_allowed = 1 to /dev/__properties__
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johnjohnvg:
Is there any way to prevent a user from accidentally disabling this option in Developer options?

I am asking because if you disable "OEM unlock" after installing a custom ROM in eg. a Samsung phone, the device refuses to boot with a FRP "Custom binary blocked by FRP lock" message.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crok.bic:
Well actually the first one is indeed sys.oem_unlock_allowed but the second one is sys.oem_unloc

l

_allowed so those are not the same: probably you made a typo when adding it and thus it didn't just change the original prop's value but added a new, mistyped prop with the desired value? The K and L buttons on a QWERTY or similar keyboard are next to each other (and the Levenshtein distance between the names of the two props is only 1).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V0latyle:
This is an excellent resource for information on bootloader unlock ability.

There are several components at play here:

ro.oem_unlock_supported is set at ROM build time; if 1, the OEM Unlocking toggle should be available. This property is not visible without root.

sys.oem_unlock_allowed is used by some "permissive" devices such as the Google Pixel to determine whether OEM unlocking should be allowed; in the case of the Pixel, this is done by checking an online whitelist of serial numbers

get_unlock_ability is controlled by the OEM Unlocking toggle. Off is 0, on is 1. If 0, the bootloader will reject fastboot flashing unlock. Can be checked in bootloader mode using ADB: fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Brava27:
Bought an edge S7, rooted like I have many of my Samsung devices. (12 of them since 2012).and yes I know the risks. Dropped my phone on table corner and cracked the screen, unusable. So I flashed back to stock and drove to Samsung service centre for a lcd replacement. $336 and a day later I pickup the phone. First thing I notice is a high pitch warning..... Says device is overheating, can't charge, bla, bla bla. So I reboot into recovery and it says device is 90c. Unrealistic temperature, actually impossible. I have flashed many Roms and made lots of androids and it never goes past 42c. I write Samsung repair shop complaining that the device is overheating falsely and I want to bring it back. His response:

Your phone is rooted, it is not performance as a standard function. Only we can replace the mainboard that to solve the issue

Best regards,

So how is this my fault? My edge was working perfectly before I brought it in and now it's my fault it's falsely overheating? Any ideas or advice? Obviously I refuse to pay for something the screwed up. I love Samsung but this is infuriating.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] lvnatic:
If you live in europe go to consumer protection. If you are currently non rooted and the phone behaves like that, it's obviously got nothing to do with software intervention.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dbaman:
omg it was ok to charge you for the screen... and not telling you is rooted or something back when u ask to bringis back again now its rooted ffs
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Kjc99:
I've seen a few teardowns with the S7 edge and they probably screwed somthing up when repairing the screen.... Sounds like their fault

... How many days did you have it before it cracked?

Galaxy S7 edge
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Brava27:
UPDATE:

They want to charge me another $350 because the mainboard needs replacement. Says I caused the issue because I rooted the phone. Now the phone reads 90C on TWRP in recovery and tells me I am overheating when I power on the phone.

[IMG="WARNING MESSAGE"]http://i.imgur.com/HpMO7OQ.jpg[/IMG]

I left the phone with a cracked screen and I come back with this.

How is this my fault???

Rooting does not cause this.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Chris_c81:
I know this doesn't help but having read so many Samsung after sales service posts of bad experience post S7 launch, it just bolsters my own personal choice of not rooting until warranty is up. I just don't do it myself. I understand why people want to do it, and the risks are accepted but it's exactly for this type of reason, where you get a company who will use root status as an excuse, why I don't.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] meyerweb:
Did rooting cause this? Not likely. Is it fair? No. Is it widely recognized that Samsung can, and will, use the fact that a phone is rooted to deny warranty coverage. Yes.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Brava27:
What bugs me the most is that this happened after they gave me the phone. Not before. It started during the botched repair job. Ridiculous. Everyone roots, its part of XDA.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] CuBz90:
When I had a note 2 I sent it to Samsung to repair, I paid and had it repaired but it was returned to me with other issues, Samsung refused to take ownership and it was my word against theirs. Nothing I could do about it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Chris_c81:
Oh I'm not absolving Samsung and as I said, I get why people root right away. Just personally, I don't until warranty is up. Just a choice I make. XDA is much more then just about rooting though.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] CuBz90:
I don't think he was flaming you for rooting, just explained that Samsung will use rooting against you and that's why he won't root because of this.

I agree with him but I chose to root accepting that Samsung could refuse repair. I recently sift bricked my S7 and knew I couldn't send it to Samsung so i spent days fixing it myself, lookily I did it but if I hadn't, it could have cost me a lot of money. But I accepted that risk when I rooted and I would do it all over again if I had the chance lol
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] thanhvu233:
$336 for the screen is way too expensive.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] riz157:
Argue the case with them, be polite and ask to speak to manager.

Failing that Phone them don't give until it's resolved.

Write in explain it was fine prior to screen being replaced.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] sonhy:
Is it possible to overheat and damage the cpu or internal components from software changes? unless someone can prove it I thing its very unlikely in your case but maybe not impossible... wish the rest of the world gets it right like Europe and deem rooting a phone not to void the warranty.

nag them till they get sick of you :p but do be nice, nothing good comes from anger and abuse.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Brava27:
Oh yes, I have over and over. I even emailed Samsung separately. Hoping for a positive result.

It is possible but not as soon as you turn on the phone and it immediately shows 90C which is not possible.

I agree, its absurd. It's like Samsung making money off their customers. Ridiculous.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] raidflex:
I would dispute the charges with your CC company until they fix the issue. It sounds like they probably didn't seat the cooling system properly or some other internal board issue.

[HTC Desire 510] MrMike2182:
You need to do a XDA search and look for some kernels and roms to put on a micro SD card and flash it
[HTC Desire 510] denny.hell:
At this point I will suggest that you download a RUU and use that to restore your phone. Or you could flash a custom rom for the 32bit version of this phone, If the TWRP recovery is working. If the recovery is not working your only option would be the RUU. If you still have any questions don't hesitate to ask. ;)
[HTC Desire 510] tucker1003:
I am in the same boat!

I know I can NOT get into recovery TWRP. I know I am still unlocked. I am going to make sure I know which version I have. I know it was Boost Mobile. I have searched for correct RUU. Not sure if I can find a good one. To install the RUU I need to mount my SD. I can not find a way to mount. Since I am rooted I thought ES explorer will let me in. No Dice. RUU sources?

Reason for doing this: I want to flash a 5.1 rom. I was directed to update TWRP to fix the failed message I was receiving on flashing the ROM file. That is where I lost recovery altogether.
