[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RazzMcTazz:
Tripping Knox is irrelevant if you're not in-warranty. Knox's only purpose is to let the Sprint store (or Samsung) deny you warranty claims if you've rooted the phone. Tripping Knox won't affect your phone's behavior at all. You can run stock ROMs or custom ROMs.

FYI: On my old LG phone I used to run custom ROMs in order to free-up internal memory & squeeze out more performance (on an aging phone) and to get some additional features (on an aging OS). I haven't bothered to install a custom ROM on my Galaxy S5 because:

1) Stock Android 6.0.1 is really good.

2) Rooting it lets me remove bloatware (via Titanium Backup).

3) Installing the Xposed framework, and some Xposed apps (especially XtouchWiz) has brought to my GS5 all of the "built-in" features that I would normally have gotten only from a custom ROM.

4) Custom ROMs tend to be a bit buggy.

Like OP, I wasnt sure I cared about knox, but I have done all the OTA updates. Is there a way to go back to lolypop to use MOAR? I wish there was a marshmellow update to it. I really just want native hotspot unlocked.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RazzMcTazz:
Hotspot has been built-into my Sprint GS5 since Android 5.1 (i.e. since I've owned it). It just came with my phone and my plan. Do you have Sprint service?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewShockerGuy:
RazzMcTazz :

This is exactly what I want to do on my new s5 right now. I REALLY like the 6.0.1 marshmallow... it's nice looking, but the damn sprint bloatware..omg.

In this order I want to change things:

* remove camera sound

* remove stupid "don't forget to check the back cover/charging ports"

* remove sprint bloatware

That's it..lol

I've seen one threat that says they have a stock version of 6.0.1 rooted but then I read the replies and it seems people are having issues? What was your method?

Thanks,

-Nigel
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Youdoofus:
should just need to flash TWRP via download mode and then supersu in twrp. From there, TiB to remove all the crap you dont want or freeze it if you have the paid version. For the shutter sound, if you have root, you can just rename the stock camera sound file to something other than it currently is and you should be golden. The "dont forget to..." messages should have a check box in them that prevents them from popping up in the future. Dont need root for that
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RazzMcTazz:
I rooted my stock Sprint Android 6.0.1 (PCA) phone using the root method that I detailed IN THIS POST. Then I removed Sprint bloatware using Titanium Backup (free version from the Play Store). The I added Xposed and Xtouchwiz (under which I disabled the loud volume warning, among other nice tweaks) per the links I provided above. I also added an Xposed modules (NoUsNotification to stop annoying me with a confirmation dialogue when I connect to my PC via USB) and YouTubeAdaway. The phone is now pretty much perfect for my needs/desires.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewShockerGuy:
Excellent!

I followed your how to and so far things are great! Rooted, nandroid backup. I have the paid TIbackup from a while ago so I am going to start freezing apps.

Just installed the xposed and xtouchwiz. Have just a couple questions for you.

1. I am able to disable the camera sound. (I had the box checked but didn't realized you needed to go into camera scroll down, then turn the shutter off..lol) I also disabled the annoying volume TOO loud in headphone mode. That's nice, thank you.

2. I enabled the no sound on boot, but that only appears to have shut the sound off via shutting down, and not when the phone starts up? Have you tried this?

*My fix was what was listed above and I added .bak to the sprint shut off/on boot noises. Now they don't make that annoying ass sound.

3. Is there a way to hide the "Sprint" in the upper left hand of the notification bar?

4. I have noticed that NOT all tweaks work, I take it this is because it's not truly meant for the s5, rather higher models..

So far I'm really impressed.

I am going to flash it so it removes the stupid sprint boot up images and then we'll see how it is.

-Nigel
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RazzMcTazz:
1 & 2: I haven't tried those fixes because neither annoy me.

3: I only see "Sprint" in the upper left hand of the notification area when the phone is on lock-screen mode (not when unlocked). I've never even noticed it before. It doesn't bother me so I've never tried to get rid of it.

4: I think the developer (Wanam) for those Xposed & XtouchWiz mods says in his OPs that he just modified existing projects for non-Samsung/non-TouchWiz phones, and that (since Samsung does some things in a non-standard way) all features may not work on Samsung phones.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenrico:
Congrats on the upgrade ..I did a S3 in between my Epic to S5 upgrade.

I too, have PE2 and looking to root for debloat and turn on hotspot again .. ran deoxed lollipop stock rom for a while and it was peachy .. maybe I will spring for a cool paid launcher after mission accoplished. This time will turn off camera sounds and headphone nag ...geez .

I was shopping the new phones and they are 'newer' and all the press says 'faster chip' but i don't get it ..and everyone but samsung seems to be not utilizing wireless charging or sd cards ... so enjoy your IR blaster, Radio, removable SD & batt ... get the wireless charging back a glass screen protector and a case that fits well with charging back or the s-view with charging back . . . make your S5 last !

Back to the topic , since warranty is a not a concern - the root /knox will only kill Android pay ..

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewShockerGuy:
I must say overall I am really happy with Marshmallow and the s5!

It's almost perfect minus the fact that it doesn't have a dark theme. That is actually the only thing that really super annoys me with this is that even when you hold down the gear button you can't put the phone in night mode. Where as the newer S phones have the theme store and you can make the phone black like it should be. I couldn't really find anything to turn Marshmallow from the ugly white to a nice dark color.

I've taken out a lot of the sprint apps. Did the xposed and xtouchwiz mods. Removed the sprint bootup/shut down noises and animations. (looking at the system/ui you can see there are multiple boot animations. I found Virgin, and a few others. I changed mine to something that was in there called crypt. Crypt pretty much has a padlock with a spinning circle on it. Looks really cool. Much better than the Samsung animation or sprint animation without a doubt.

Dummy me clicked on "update" for some reason and it found an OTA (probably security) and it downloaded it but of course failed because of TWRP installed. Then I had on the settings icon a number 1. Indicating there was an update. I could not for the life of me figure out how to make it so it just showed a normal settings icon. I deleted what I thought was the downloaded OTA patch, but the icon still showed a number 1 on it. I ended up restoring back to right when it was rooted, and doing the above tweaks again. Only took about 15 minutes.

Going forward how does one install the Android security patches? Or is that something that at this point for the phone isn't even a concern/worth it?

And to touch on what Kenny said. I actually was about to get a s7, but then started to realize certain things just weren't kosher. Non-removable battery, non root, ALL glass phone = destroyed when I drop it...etc.

I think the s5 is a great phone. Removable battery, removable storage, plastic (though doesn't feel as great) is much better than a glass phone in my opinion. My only gripe is the rear speaker is horrible... if I turn up the speaker phone too loud during calls it crackles, where as my s2 could be turned up all the way and it was just clear/loud.

Sorry for being so long winded.

Thanks,

-Nigel
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Youdoofus:
the speaker shouldnt be crackely at high volumes. Might be the kernel, but i wouldnt bet on it. Try a different ROM and see if it persists. Make a NAND in TWRP and try MOAR 7.0. Mine is fine at high volumes and thats the ROM ive been using for quite a while now
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewShockerGuy:
I honestly wasn't planning on trying any Roms... but since you brought it up, I will ask. Since I am rooted and have the stock 6.0.1 marshmallow that Sprint released. I de-bloated it, and have it running where I want. It's been backed up.

Would I have to do anything with modems/kernels if flashing to MOAR 7.0? IE: Just wipe, flash then try it out, and if I don't like It, simply wipe, restore my previous 6.0.1 backup and it would be like nothing ever happened?

Thanks,

-Nigel

you can flash 6.0 ROMs when youre on the NCA baseband but no lollipop roms unless you flash the OK4 tar.md5. If you flash the OK4 tar.md5 you can flash LP and MM ROMs, but you cant go a version back on the 6.0 basebands.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] fenvy:
if you are like me you already realized that running odin again to install, CF-Auto-Root-herolte-heroltexx-smg930f.zip won't do anything.

1) put SuperSu zip file somewhere on your phone (https://download.chainfire.eu/964/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328.zip)

2) you will need to reinstall twrp-3.0.2-1-herolte.img.tar via odin AP but don't auto reboot (https://dl.twrp.me/herolte/twrp-3.0.2-1-herolte.img.tar.html)

3) manual reboot and IMMEDIATELY go into recovery by holding down the magically combination. if you missed it then you will have to do step 2 again.

4) once in recovery install supersu zip from step 1 and you will get root back

should work for s7 edge (935) too but you will need to use the correct files

hope that help

nice thread, but can i flash a recovery via recovery?, because my usb port wont work :\

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] derbysig:
i tried, but still cannot get root back.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] gnan10:
OP has missed one step.

You have to flash boot.img from official samsung firmware through TWRP(if you have TWRP installed) or you can install through odin. Make sure that your build number matches with firmware file. You have to do this before you are going to reinstall TWRP. After flashing boot.img file you will stuck in bootloop don't get panic. Flash supersu along with encryption disabled file attached in link. Then boot into android. You would definitely see supersu along with superuser script installed. No you have root access. Cheers

[T-Mobile LG G3] zim2dive:
disclaimer: I am not a power user of my phone..

for a long time I was getting a reliable 2 full days of battery life (recharge every other night).... ~2 months ago, annoyingly, that dropped to 1.5 days at best, which really meant charge every night.

With the MM update, I am seeing 2.5-3 days between charges.

I'm not trying to make any claim about how long a phone should last.. that will vary with the user... my only point is to say that whatever your battery life was before..the MM update may do good things for you.

Bravo to Google and Tmo on the update.

this application is called "Schap's Power & Wireless service Manager (shows Bluetooth/Wi-Fi on traybar)" , develop by Schap, just only need power_srv.dll and wirelessMgr_srv.dll and enable some register keys...

besides, this Wireless service Manager = WIFI+BT+Flight mode in a icon..

so now, u know what i mean now??

and sorry for my poor english...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] patr!k:

are you sure, that you need only these two dll files? looks like it has own icon "advanced configuration".. did you try to contact someone from hermes section, to give you these two files + reg. keys?

in fact, I got these 2 dlls from Schap's ROM and copy them (include power.exe) into my TYTN II, then import these 2 reg keys, now there r two icons on my kaiser's traybar, but, but, when I enable WIFI/BT/Flight mode,

only WIFI/Flight mode's icons show instead of wireless icon, so maybe need other dll reg. key i havn't found ...

I have asked Schap several times, even pm him, but still no answer, pity....

so only i can do is ask professional persons here...wow -_-

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PharaohsVizier:
I realize this is probably asked fairly often, but I did try to find the answer myself. So I thank you and apologize in advance.

In any case, I've been using lollipop for some time on my M8 now. It is rooted and S-On. As a result, I can't simply OTA up into Marshmallow. I bought this phone used, and I believe it was Bell, but I'm uncertain. I was hoping to update to Marshmallow (and keeping my files intact if that is at all possible), but am totally at a loss as to what I should be doing. For one, not a whole lot of threads about Bell, so I'm unsure what files I should be using, but beyond that if someone could give me a nudge in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.

You can unroot it within supersu app itself.
