[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] GeoFX:
Is it possible to "un-root" a phone without having to flash firmware? For example I'd like to use Samsung Pay which won't work because of a root check BUT would like to keep the debloated and optimized U ROM along with the non-provisioned WIFI-tethering, VVM, etc. that I originally rooted for. So is this possible? I understand that I will still be on the eng. boot kernel but that's fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] :
You can try the unroot option in the SU app but I doubt it will work because the files are pushed to the system by ADB. I could be wrong though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
This is one thing I have been curious about as well. I just want to make a few changes to files that require root, then remove root to keep my Samsung Pay working but the changes still saved in place. I feel like someone has tried it, I just haven't ran across the post yet...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] GigaSPX:
I'd like to keep the U firmware while having all of the Verizon essentials but without root. Even optimized with all battery savings, I'm getting heat just using chrome and having more battery drainage than when I was unrooted. I read it's something dealing with the eng.boot since it's not made for daily use.

So would it be possible just to factory reset U firmware and have the necessary Verizon apps to install afterwards? I'm guessing root isn't that beneficial for me at this point if it just drains my battery since I usually would have 3 hours of SOT by 50%, and now it's only 2 hours by 50%.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] GeoFX:
You can install most of the Verizon apps through the Play Store except for VVM, which requires you to write into /system and thus requires root and thus the eng. kernel. Also you won't be be able to patch the HD Calling feature without root as well. IF you need these features, then the eng. kernel is a must have in order to obtain root to install.

If not, you're good to go. I'm sure there's probably something else I'm missing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] GigaSPX:
Then it would already be pretty great to simply get a debloated stock Verizon firmware. Because I was amazed at how much free space I had for internal storage once I flashed the U firmware and the v15 debloat fix zip. If I could go all of that without the battery drainage that I'm pretty sure is coming from root itself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] GeoFX:
Your battery drainage is due to the engineering kernel, not necessarily from root. It is not an optimized kernel at all. When I was rooted, the phone was 6 degrees C warmer at idle than stock and would lag. This is with all the V15 fixes from the S7 thread. And heat kills battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] JediDru:
I'm sure someone could do this. I'm from the verizon flat s7 forums and a person is suggesting getting on the rooted firmware then from that installing a debloated stock rom from there without root but with various cooked in optimizations. It's not out yet but I'm waiting to see what comes of it. Root hasn't settled enough for me to run it all the time just yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] GigaSPX:
That's actually perfect, when possible. :0
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] raidflex:
Could you not just apply the fixes and unroot or flashing will remove these?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] jobzombi:
Back on the root scene after cancelling my contract with Verizon and jumping to Sprint...less phone security and I'm done getting screwed around by VZ. Now that I am rooted and have TWRP, I want to flash the most DEbloated ROM/kernel there is. Before the S6 I had an HTC One and before that a Fascinate. For that I had a Rom by GeeWiz and it was Amazing. It was essentially stop with some fixes and a huge reduction in unnecessary apps. Loved it! I'm trying to find something similar outside of using Titanium backup and just removing a bunch of apps manually. I know there is SkyHigh, the Renegade Rom, Supernove (This one seems unnecesary) and TeamSPR's Rom. I don't know if I am missing any others, probably am. Just a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] elesbb:
Love how my kernel seems unnecessary lol. But yes, this is a question belonging in the questions forum lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] asafegous:
I wanted in before the explosion of 'this belongs in q&a' ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] crazynapkinman:
Super nova is better than sky high imo
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] crazynapkinman:
My biggest ussue with SkyHigh is that, after installing, the fingerprint sensor no longer works! Wtf??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] elesbb:
Thank you for that. But everyone's kernel is great.

I found SkyHigh to have way too much excess unnecessary stuff. Things like crontab, cortex, etc. I also saw a lot of other things that I found pointless. In my mind, I want a quick, smooth, highly customizable but not too overwhelming kernel. Plus, I personally just love having source code. No matter what it is. My SMS app I use, its QKSMS, I have their source cause they made it open source. I made many tweaks and such to it. I usually end up decompiling apks and making smali tweaks.

I actually have a fingerprint booster in my next update. I was noticing fingerprint scanning took forever/never happened. So I added a booster. I need to update SuperNOVA app then I shall release it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] tdhite:
Fingerprint is fine. What ROM are you using? I use the kernel all day, fingerprint is required for my Exchange server email. If you need help, feel free to open a question in the dev or Q&A threads.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] crazynapkinman:
I will try again with your kernel.

Hi guys, I'd like to debloat the latest 5.1 Lollipop Rom for my XT1032 but I don't know how, I tried to run it normally but it takes too much RAM and my phone has become too slow...

I'm running an older version now but it's no longer supported and I'm afraid of all the new threats, I don't want to switch to Marshmallow because I'm looking for something to "install and never touch it again" and that version is still too frequently updated.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamrob1511:
Hi all,

I'm having issues installing system apps on my rooted htc one m7. I am using root explorer to copy the apk from my downloads to system/app but either one of two things happens -

1 - As soon as I press copy the phone crashes, upon rebooting the apk is nowhere to be seen in system/app

2- The copy works, I set the correct permissions but as soon as r/o is remounted the apk is deleted (leave and re-enter the folder and it's gone) if I reboot the phone without remounting r/o the apk is deleted as well

I have rooted with SuperSU v2.71 and am using team win recovery project v3.0.0. The android version is up-to-date (5.0.2) and busybox is correctly installed. I have also tried using the terminal emulator, but once again it seems to delete the apk upon remounting r/o. Of course I have also tried different apk's, all with the same results.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErikFry:
Hello all! I really appreciate you taking the time to read through all of this, I am really nervous about making a decision and XDA has always been a great community whenever I have to make a decision about technology. Please feel free to add any additional information you find helpful and please please ask any questions! I will answer them quickly :)

I had a few questions before I pull the trigger on the nexus 5x/ project Fi.

Right now I'm using stock Verizon Galaxy Note 4.

+I love the stylus and big screen for drawing. The battery life is decent too. I have never had a problem going a full day and then atleast til noon the next day.

+The note 4 AMOLED screen is bright enough when I need it to be outside and dim enough before I go to bed.

-I am getting tired of how large the phone is. I firmly believe in having a rugged case for all my devices so my note 4 has an otterbox Defender which makes it even bigger.

-Samsung touchwiz sucks, its been getting slimmer and slimmer every year and I know the Grace UX is going to slim down even more...but I just don't like samsung's design language.

-LAGGY. Snapdragon 805 w/ 3GB RAM running a 2K resolution 5.7" screen. I am very good at factory resetting my phone every 2-3 months and I never have too many resource intensive apps running, I think it's just Samsung's overbloated and resource intensive setup.

-Speakers are tinny and just bad quality.

-I love to root, and until recently that was not possible for this phone. I still hate all the extra steps and voiding my warranty that comes with samsung/verizon. Just not worth it after owning this phone for 2 years.

So I am looking to switch! I want to try Project Fi.

I currently am grandfathered into a $100/month for unlimited text, call and 20GB of data on verizon.

I only use about 3gb of data a month.

Even If I want to downgrade to verizon's 3GB or 5GB plan, I will stay pay around $75 or $95 a month because of Verizon's monthly line access fee of $30.

Also with verizon I don't have access to google nexus phones, I want to be first in line for the new android OS version.

Now to my questions!

>Does the battery life get you through a full day with at least 20% remaining? (this question is for people who don't game or game very lightly and mostly use texting, emailing with the occasional snapchat/instagram.)

>With Android N will the Nexus 5x see great or mediocre improvement in performance/battery life? (this might be more for the people who have been using all the developer previews)

>One handed use, how comfortable is the phone to hold while browsing apps?

>Is the screen legible enough when it is super bright out?

>Is project Fi stable in your opinion?

>Should I wait until the next nexus phones are released?

>What are any other options for a mostly pure android experience on other carriers?

>Best rugged case for nexus 5x

Thank you for reading up to this point, I am on the fence about this decision. Any information you can provide is greatly appreciated!
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErikFry:
Adobeman you're answers were super helpful! You are so awesome!

I feel like most people don't use a phone the way I do, so it is really hard to get a good idea what device will be best for my usage style. Before my note 4 I had the Galaxy S3 for 3 years and boy did I love that phone alot. I went through 5 of them and hundreds of ROMs were flashed haha. I still have mine in the closet. It's got the zerolemon 10,000mah battery strapped to it :P

Hey everyone, hopefully someone can back me out of my mistake. I was running CPF1 on my galaxy s6 on ATT. i saw a thread (not on this forum) to root marshmallow and proceeded to download and flash a kernel. It flashed successfully but i believe the kernel was for 5.1..1 and now my phone will not do a damn thing. i can get it back into download mode, but it's been several years since ive flashed anything to my device. Total negligence for not fully reading on my part, but is there a STOCK cpf1 kernel i would be able to flash back to my phone for it to boot up? thank you so much in advance!!:confused::confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] axioanic:
I just went through the same thing yesterday. As far as I could find out, there are no cpd1/cpf1 kernels available online. BUT if you have a Best Buy near you that has a Samsung kiosk you can get a technician there to flash a stock rom for you.

I didn't do this, but you might be able to downgrade to Lollipop (which is rootable) if you tell the tech that's what you had. Mind that you're going to lose all the data on your phone regardless.

Hi! The titel says most of it. But I will be more specific here.

So. Yesterday I decided to root my S6 Edge (6.0.1). I followed this guide on youtube "/watch?v=ZjfcyKeur9w"

If you watch the video you will know to 100% of what I have done. My english is to bad to explain. Srry :/

Anyways. Everything worked fine untill today. SuperSU said that it needed to update so i thought why not? I pressed the okey button or whatever it said. Then it said "SuperSU will try to reboot your system" or something like that. It did. But now my phone only boots into TWRP, Cannot get past it. I tried to install the previous supersu verison. The one i had before it decided to update itself. No progress. I tried to wipe aswell. Nothing helped so far.

If someone have had this problem before I would appriciate every help I can get!

For best help i think it would be if you could guide me thru skype, typing or speaking. Doesnt matter! In that case add spitzer4354.

Thank you ;)
