Did you try the application that I linked in the first line? You install on your PC and plug in your phone. There is a free-to-try version so that you can test without risk.

Post back here what happens.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Chillindaily:
This is so frustrating.

So this is the app I tried first before I even came to this forum. I even paid for the full version and it won't work. I could be a complete idiot, but I literally tried it for 3 hours one night, and then another 3 hours on another night. I'm literally having ZERO luck when it comes to this issue. I did this program, it tells me it failed to root the phone. Then I download another program to root the phone and then that program tells me that "root failed". So I feel like I'm f'ed no matter what I do. Advice???

[Lenovo K5 Note Questions & Answers] vinaythoke:
Lenovo Vibe K5 Note has (Link) been recently released in India and is garnering attention from good number of consumers from India.

However, there is no single working method of unlocking bootloader and rooting Lenovo Vibe K5 Note yet. Nor there is any device specific recovery available. I have googled for this already and could only found methods to root the device that is on LOLLIPOP version and not on MARSHMALLOW.

I appeal for help from developers' community here to come up with a working solution.

Please help with this.

Many thanks in advance, with kind regards,

Vinay :)

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] azzicles:
I rooted my phone only so I could use AdAway. So once I update the hosts file with AdAway, technically I can disable root and only enable root once a week or so to re-run AdAway and update the hosts file again correct?

So I want to use Android Pay too... I keep reading that if I disable root in SuperSU it'll work, but my Android Pay flat out rufuses to work. :(

Only other thing I can think of is disabling OEM Unlock. What does that even do? I'm currently running custom recovey (TWRP).

Does OEM Unlock need to remain enabled? Could that prevent Android Pay working when SuperSU root is disabled? :(

Thanks :( :)
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] aergern:
If your root method modified /system/ then you will never be able to use Android Pay as it checks this. Even systemless root stopped working with the August security patch. It's why I didn't root my Note 7 when I got it because I figured this out on the 6P. Sad but true.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] azzicles:
Is there a way to un-root and re-root quickly? I disabled root in SuperSU but it doesn't help.

All I really want to do is block ads via the host file with adaway (which is how it works right?) And I can enable root every time I want to update the ad block list.

Thanks for reply :)
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] aergern:
I found a few ways to do it on other sections of this forum but they seemed tedious and I haven't really looked since the August patch flarked everything up for folks who want AP. Sorry. I wish I could answer.

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l_abaurre:
I bought a Z5C (E5823) from ebay a month ago.

I had a Z3C before and I noticed that the Z3C LED light is much more well made. Initially the Z5C LED is brighter, which initially I thought it was nice. Upon closer inspection, it seems that the Z5C is missing some kind of film or something that the Z3C one has. I can see the individual RGB LEDs inside the opening of the LED light.

You can clearly see in the images that the LED in fact shows the three colors separated. It looks like a venn diagram, with the intended color in the middle. This causes the LED to not display the colors correctly, except full red, green or blue, when only one LED is on.

First, the Z3C pictures. Full frontal and casting the light on a white wall:

Purple (full red and blue)

Yellow (full green and red )

White (full red, green, and blue)

Now the Z5C. Full frontal and casting the light on a white wall:

Purple (full red and blue)

Yellow (full green and red )

White (full red, green, and blue)

Notice that the full frontal pics do not represent the actual color to be portrayed. It actually depends on the angle you look into the hole. Also note the complete color separation into RGB circles.

Did I get a lemon? Or is this "normal"?
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mhaha:
Definitely not normal.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michuroztocz:
Mine does the same thing. Not an issue, but I noticed it.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l_abaurre:
Yours looks like it has the same "film" or something the Z3C has. It's like an opaque plastic membrane that mixes the colors.... Mine seems like it is "bare naked". You can clearly see the LEDs inside. If you shine your LED at a white wall, you'll definitely not see the color circles I see (see pictures)

I think my phone is a lemon for sure. :(

What should I do? I have warranty until March 2017. I bought it on ebay. I believe it came from China.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michuroztocz:
Mine has glass protector, that's for sure ;) I can get yellow color, but about 30% of LED is red. So... maybe that film is misaligned in my phone? I can't know for sure, but every color apart from pure R/G/B is displayed in two colors.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l_abaurre:
Could you guys do the "shine LED on white wall" test and take pictures? It seems like I'm the only one with this problem so far.

Does it look like my example? Compare to the pictures I took shining the LED combination on a white wall.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michuroztocz:
It's different - next to the wall I can only see yellow reflection, but when looking closely at LED itself, part of it is red.
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l_abaurre:
I forgot to mention this. But my front facing camera is also misaligned. Up and to the left, to be specific:

I know that doesn't interfere with the camera quality at all, and it's a cosmetic issue. But, including the LED mishap, it's strike 2 for quality control. Does it justify a recall? Mind you, I have the Sony "limited" warranty in effect...

More pictures of the LED light. Close up with minimum brightness. All three LEDs on (white color):

So could anyone tell me how to root it?

Thank you~;)
[Sony Xperia XA Questions & Answers] aidy.lucas:
Root is only available/possible via unlocked bootloader+modified kernel since the z3+was released unfortunately due to dm-verity security and auto encryption and there's no way to back up the ta keys(loss of which voids the warranty)

There won't be a one click root solution anytime soon or root via locked bootloader.

If the bootloader is not unlockable you won't be able to root it anytime soon.

[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uglyhoodlum:
Hi guys,

I have Tmobile LG V10 H90120j which its Wifi MAC address changes on every reboot.

Long story:

It was originally Lollipop, I updated to stock MM v20e then v20j. It was still OK after that.

Then I tried to root it using tungkick's method. However, the bad luck began, I forgot to change the Process to Upgrade instead of Refurbish when upgrading the TOT file. The phone bootloop to TWRP after that. Big thanks to @tungkick, he helped recover it.

I realized that from then the Wifi MAC address keeps changing on every reboot. The phone also cannot automatically get APNs from provider (I have to manually add them).

The really bad problem is the MAC issue. Only registered devices can connect to my home and my company Wifi networks. I can temporarily workaround by manually changing MAC address on rooted ROM after every reboot, but it's not an actual fix.

Factory Reset or Restoring to stock v20j can't help.

I did some search and found that some others also had the issue. Some said this method also can fix it: youtube . com /watch?v=8ejnFB5i5o8

But I can't see any nvram folder in my device.

Anyone has any ideas about fixing this, please help :(

Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uglyhoodlum:
anyone? :(
[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyut:
I have this with the T-mobile LG G5 H830 that is rooted on 20j (Nougat) with the dm-verity patch applied as well. I have 7 days left to return the phone). I also cannot find the nvram file/folder on my device (I am searching my LG G Pad 8.0 X to see where it is at via Root Explorer).

You mentioned you went back to stock (in TWRP, did you format the system and data directories and wipe the caches before; I ask because if you did not, I was going to do that, then re-stock).

My only other guess is the bootloader unlock would cause it (but then my LG G Pad 8.0 X is bootloader unlocked and doesn't do this). There was a CM7MAC.zip file (which I know is supposed to be for CM rom but I wonder if that fix would work for us).
[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uglyhoodlum:
Been months, I cannot recovery my memory well. But I might not format the system and wipe the caches in TWRP before going back to stock. Still having the issue, and applying workaround after every reboot .

Bootloader unlock is unlikely the cause, cuz I rooted another H90120j (my cousin's) after that. I followed strictly the guide and made no mistake. The phone's still working well now.

Well I think you can give it a try. Looking forward to your good news :)
[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyut:
My 13th day is Saturday so I am going to get T-mobile to exchange it for a new one (since about 1/2 the posts on this topic says it's a hardware problem with certain chipset mac addresses and I hope that batch of phones that WA gets is different than the batch that HI gets) and reboot that several times before I leave.

I only found out I had this problem since Shaw Cable use MAC address for the 10 devices include in the Shaw Go wifi (wifi public hot spots) and when I put the original address in while still in HI, then got back to Calgary (after a couple of reboots had occurred during my trip) noticing Shaw would not auto-connect like it does on the other devices which are all rooted and sim unlocked (LG G Pad 8.0 X, Samsung Galaxy Note Edge, Moto X Play).

If not for Shaw, I would have been none the wiser until I got an employer that only used MAC address and by then, I'd be stuck with the phone.

I notice that this problem allegedly was based on a chipset and/or the Android software itself (there doesn't seem to be a consenus one direction or the other) when I googled this (and subsequently found your post on XDA). I have had several generations of Samsung Galaxy S and Note Series as well as Moto Triump (Sprint), the LG G Pad X, and Moto X Play and have never seen this phenomenon.

Since you say your cousins device is working well and you did the same thing with it as with yours, I suspect it's a hardware fault in our devices. I already returned a V20 to Freedom/WIND since that bootloader is locked and no root possible (will try to get T-mobile to give me the V20 instead of the G5 since I have to go through all this drama; the Freedom V20 was rebooted more than 7 times on purpose and no mac address change occurred).
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] svache:
Here's the thing, I want to get rid of my and my wife's ugly screen protectors and only use our covers. We did this with the Note 4 and haven't seen a scratch in the years we owned them.. but, with the scary reports about the Gorilla Glass used on the N7, I'm wondering if this is such a good idea without insurance (considering our N4s did drop from time to time and have minor damage (scratches) on the sides).

I was thinking of going with Samsung Protection Plus, which seems like a decent option (especially compared to AT&Ts overly expensive insurance - which is totally pointless with the high cost and high deductible IMHO), Samsung offers $129 for two year insurance and a doable deductible. Going to their page: http://www.samsung.com/us/owners/protection-plus/ shows the Note 7 is supposed eligible. But when you click the button to go to the next page, the Note 7 isn't listed anymore. If I then enter my IMEI and run the check, it states that my device isn't eligible. Kind of curious considering it was purchased through AT&T and it is a device not affected by the recall (it's one of the replacements), so logically I'd think it should be eligible.

So I'm wondering, did anyone here get insured through Samsung at all? If not, could you see what the IMEI check does with you, see if you're eligible or ineligible... I'm wondering if it is just a few people who have this or if Samsung is actively blocking Note 7s from their insurance as a result of their recall.

Thanks in advance!
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] jjal09:
I had insurance on my original Note 7 through Samsung. Now that I am trying to get it on my replacement phone I am getting the same error as you. I suspect that this is the result of the recall as they probably been doing a lot of tweaking with serial number databases to keep track of the good and bad but of course calling samsung was of no help
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] svache:
Yeah I read that about calling Samsung, people being send back and forth between Asurian and Samsung, after reading the complaints about calling them, I skipped trying that number as it would likely not help at all.

I'm starting to wonder if they're simply putting a stop to the entire protection for the Note 7 until they start selling them publicly again..
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] apprentice:
I am guessing there will be a myriad of adjustments needed to the policies covering this phone. It is likely they will insure the replacement ones once they have the exchange program out of the way. It might be worth checking other phone/gadget insurance companies in the meantime even if just temporarily. Though there is so much knee jerking going on over this phone by companies and organisations that you might hit a few barriers or over inflated premium fees.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] dmrasm:
I have the replacement note 7 with Verizon, when trying to purchase Protection Plus, the website said my imei was not compatible. I first did an online chat with Samsung and they gave me a number to assurant solutions who handles the claims for Samsung. They told me they only do claims and cannot sell me the Protection Plus plan. I then called Samsung and was transferred around to several different people all of whom had no clue what was going on, I ended up at tech support and he told me to take it to a best buy and see if the Samsung employee there could help. As a last resort I tried the Samsung+ video chat from my phone, this actually worked quite well, spoke with a guy who said he was aware of the issue and there isnt a fix yet. Note 7's aren't currently eligible for protection plus. Quite a hassle and despite Samsung's website saying that the note 7 is eligible for protection plus you can't get it on your phone yet.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] lynseyw:
I had the protection plan on the first one, but it said the replacement was not eligible. I had a similar experience with Samsung and got the run around. Finally i got a sales person that emailed me a link to purchase the protection plan. It just was in my cart. I checked out. It did not ask me for an imei number. The sales lady said that in 1-3 days I should get an email to enter my imei. We will see if that works. Paid with PayPal so I feel protected if this doesn't work. They said this is a known issue.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] lynseyw:
Sorry, didn't see the question asked as I was working all day yesterday. This is the link she sent me. Protection Plus

Let me know if it works for you. I still haven't been able to add an imei number but at least I have a receipt that I did purchase insurance.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] svache:
It seems to work, but an imei is indeed not possible be added. Add on top of this that they state on top "Protection Plus – Note 3/4/5/Edge, S6 edge, S6 edge+", which would imply the S7, S7 Edge and Note 7 are not covered (or gives them wiggle room to deny any claim coming from any of those owners).

I want that insurance, but not sure I'm willing to go with this direct link considering they specifically name only some of the phones.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] lynseyw:
I was told that I would get an email in 1-3 days and would be able to put in my imei number. I felt ok, since I still have the email from Samsung telling me to use this link and I paid with paypal. I will let you know when/if I am able to put in my imei number.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] jjal09:
I seem to recall seeing similar missing Note 7 references when I purchased my original protection plus plan as I was a little worried, but decided it was just Samsung being slow to update their webpage.
