[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
If they stopped happening and there's no more news coverage, why would Samsung and carriers be blocking the note 7 outright and/or pushing updates to hobble the phone. Oh that's right...they determined the phone to be faulty and dangerous.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mav42:
my note 7 was made in Vietnam and is still going strong
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kenpaci:
yeah.. i see, but still no prove right, and samsung still kill it, few weeks ago i see one note7 burning in malaysia, and the news ist fake crap, he delete all posted about note7, and for your info, the man its big fan apple!! so what reason, samsung still dont know what exploding note7, no prove and for me its not dangerous, i dont care what about news say, i care the prove!
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
The proof is in the fact that Samsung will work it's hardest to get that note out of your hands. First with os updates. Second with carrier blocks. They don't want you to have the phone they made. That's proof enough.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rafeba:
That i's a pretty childish argument... Samsung made an OFFICIAL recall. When it's official it's official and that's it. But even Samsung can't reproduce in lab the problem. And THAT is a big question mark for us. The phone is so faulty and dangerous that even after two months we keep using them without a single problem. ))
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dottat:
No name calling was made sir so I don't appreciate your tone. The facts are the facts. Recall was official and yes they are hobbling phones by limiting charge of all to 60% and also now we have carriers who disabled note 7's across the board. I understand you don't like those facts or agree with them but I would appreciate it if you refrain from name calling.

My point is that Samsung would not be going to all these steps if the problem were mere phantom in nature.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rafeba:
I was a little ironic thinking about the current situation... We still use them even if they say they are dangerous and nothing is happening now. Don't take it personally. Read again my lines and yours and you will see what I'm talking about. When a recall is made that it... they have to take back everything. Even if we like it or not. I agree with that. But the facts are on both sides. The arguments the same. The single problem is WE KNOW something wrong. And we want answers from Samsung. I don't want to talk about the media... they where overreacting about the whole situation. And all of us we know what's happening when they do that. I'm not relaying on media because i don't trust them. I'm relaying on my own knowledge because I'm working in this industry from more than 25 years. And that is my opinion. If you want a technical discussion about that you're very welcome. But again... please, don't take it personally.

exploding note 7 is fake, if you use cheap chargers it will explode
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TomTanderson:
So much denial!

My (second) Note 7 went back a couple of weeks ago but I keep coming back here for the entertainment!

I loved my Note 7. I regularly upgrade my phone but while each model gets better it is mostly 'more of the same with a few improvements'. The Note 7 was different and was the first phone I REALLY liked in a long time.

I can (sort of) understand people wanting to hang on to theirs but I find the explanations very entertaining.

There is the"'there is no problem, its media hype or an apple conspiracy". Yeah, that's why Samsung decided to lose billions of dollars recalling a perfectly safe phone without any problems.

Then there is the "my phone hasn't caught fire yet so it is obviously fine" or "if it's going to fail it will fail quickly, my phone hasn't failed so it is fine" or "the statistical chance of this happening is very small". Nobody knows the cause of this failure so you can't make any judgement about the pattern of failure or the risk or failure in the future. You can't apply normal rules of failure in electronic equipment because it isn't normal electronic equipment. The risk of failure could actually increase with time/usage/charging cycles. Nobody knows. There are many 'statistics' posted in the forum but even if the failure rate used is correct (which you don't know as you are only relying on incomplete information), they all assume that the failure rate will be constant. There is absolutely no foundation for this assertion, consequently the prediction of future failure rate is completely worthless.

Keep your phone if you want to (all the reasons not have been well discussed) but at least do it with open eyes - the product does have a design/manufacturing fault and you have no way of predicting the chances of your phone catching fire in the future.

Alternatively, keep posting your conspiracy theories and made up statistics. It makes a fascinating study in human denial!
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] neopolotin75:
I have refrained from these conversations because people have their opinions and we are allowed our own opinions. I still have my Note and will probably swap it out for the Coral Blue S7 edge. Samsung recalled the phone for multiple reasons not only limited to the phones failing (which new reports point to 35 actually failing) but they took a huge stock hit so they had to stop the bleeding. Reports also surfaced that they received MASSIVE amounts of pressure from a big US carrier to recall their phone which we can figure out to be Verizon or Att. It was reported that's what ultimately made them pull it. Do I think there's a conspiracy no but I do think it was sensationalized by the media. They had to save face and still are trying to save face that's why they are trying to force people to return them. What we need to talk about is how they are screwing us with a big John Holmes Dildo by not giving us the same promo for the S8 and Note 8 like they are doing in Korea. Lol
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] AllGamer:
If you like the Note7 then by all means keep it, if you do so, just be aware you will not get any support from Devs, Games, Apps, hacks, roots, no further ROM with feature updates, and specially none from Samsung if anything goes wrong after their return campaign is over.

I know currently there is a ROM that downgrades your Note7 to make it less risky.

IMO it's too risky to hang on to an Unknown

it might be fine now, it might smoke up after a while, and that's the problem, it's a gamble.

If you are willing to bet your life on it, then all the power to you.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rafeba:
Conspiracy theories, made up statistics, human denial... You're right... really fascinating. But I can't see anything like that here. Just people opinions. If they are wrong or right is another story. Nice way for dialog in a development forum.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rado_vr6:
I'm in the same boat. It's comical to come in and read the reasons for people keeping the N7's. By the way these users are vehemently defending their choices, you would think that the only other device in existence is an iPhone. I'm all for everyone making their own decisions, I just enjoy a good laugh from time to time. Just look at threads dedicated to people exploring work-arounds to keep the N7 from being crippled. Hate to break it to everyone, but Samsung recalled the device, they're doing all they can to get those things back in their possession.

This isn't a pet or a child, it's a stinking electronic device. It can be replaced, even temporarily, for something that'll work in the meantime. How did you guys manage to live life before the N7 was released? There were phones released prior to this one and there have been phones released after. The world won't come to a screeching halt if you have to give your device up. Seriously.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rafeba:
We lived our lives praying and thanking to the great god Samsung every time when a new Note was born. Now, we are doomed. and we do not know whose deities to offer sacrifices

.

Seriously guy's... at least we have a sense of humor. And families and friends and jobs. Even if we seem unreal, we're waiting for someone to enlighten our path to absolute truth. And again... that sense of humor. Appreciate that.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] lp894:
I never mentioned that I was keeping my note 7. I just thought it was kind of ironic. I completely feel there was something wrong. I'm not saying it's a conspiracy, but I DO think that people are people, and to get attention I DO think people will try to make things happen to be part of the "IT HAPPENED TO ME TOO!" crowd. Just like a bunch of guys who say they all slept with the same girl because thy don't want to be the guy who DIDN'T get any play. Sure, a few guys probably did....but all 30 guys in your crew? probably not lol

What I'm saying is, I wouldn't be surprised if some people did things to MAKE their phones catch on fire to try and make the problem worse. And additionally, corporate espionage is very alive and real, and I wouldn't be surprised if Apple paid people under the table to make their catch fire too in order to sensationalize the actual problem. That's about as far as I'd go for conspiracy theories....except 9/11...that was an inside job. LOL!

Can someone please use Explorer to get the file for me? I just delete the .apk, the .odex is still there. Thank you.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1stcowgirl:
so its S5 G900F.

i understand the option was removed on Android 6.0.1.

I looked for Android 6.0.0 But could not Find it _ (My Country Code is PCL, if anyone care to help).

i also tried Root Essentials App but its not working as Internal Storage.

I Am Rooted.

Question:

Does anyone know a safe way To Extand the Internal Storage (so ill be abele to use it For DATA files, as weell as OBB files?)

thank you.

p.s.

im downloading lolipop 5 in HOPE that the option of "Format SD as Internal Storage" is there.
[Android General] GidgetTheGnome:
THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRENTY AND I AM NOT AT FAULT IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE.

I AM NO LONGER ACTIVELY WORKING ON THIS PROJECT AS I AM WORKING ON A PROJECT FOR THE S7

I have achieved root on my Amp Prime. SM-J320AZ for cricket. It has been tested on other versions of the J3 and has worked. If it you do decide to test it, please report back on your device model and carrier.

ON THE SM-J320AZ It does NOT trip knox to do this. If you try to flash any TWRP you will trip Knox and get the samsung BSOD and will have to use Smart Switch do an emergency recovery,

DISCLAIMER: THIS COULD BRICK YOUR PHONE. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG. IF YOU NEED HELP PM ME

First Enable Dev options and select OEM Unlock And USB debuging

Than flashed this modded boot file using odin to exploit SElinux and enables ADB:

drive.google.com/open?id=0B1rwlbcYZ8i6NldnV0ppVHJ3Z1U

place the file in AP and make sure Re-partition is NOT check.

Then I ran Wondershare TuneGO I was able to achieve perm root. It looks like it fails after it reboots a few times and then gets stuck on a black screen, when this happens, do a battery pull then restart and run SU, it will have you update the binary's then you are rooted. Enjoy

Note: Sometimes you get a failed to install binaries, if you get this you might have to restart 2 or 3 additional times after battery pull to install SU binaries.

Thanks and let me know how it goes.

I will post a better guide later, just spent 9 hours working on this now im tired

Xposed for Samsung is untested, please use at your own risk. If you get stuck on booting after installing, use smart switch to do an emergency recovery. http://xdaforums.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3180960

UPDATE: XPOSED does work if you flash it with FlashFire, make sure the latest version of BusyBox is installed

You might get security notifications saying unauthorized files and such. If you do, set SElinux to Enforcing. Use ADB shell or terminal as SU and type setenforce 1. To check SElinux mode, type getenforce

NOTE: NO CUSTOM RECOVERY YET and WiFi becomes unstable, you will have to turn it off and on a few times to make it work. I am working on this.

To Fix the WiFi issue edit your build.prop using your favorite build.prop editor and change ro.secure.storage.support to false and reboot. You will have to forget your network and re-add it but it should save it and auto connect now.

To fix the warnings, freeze/disable knox, use the search function, their are lots of great tuts on how to do this already.

Known Bugs:

Built in flashlight app does not work, can freeze.

Wifi becomes unstable (See above for temp fix)

Knoxs gives unauthorized errors until disabled.

Disabling androids built in security leaves your device vulnerable. I suggest using PMP once exposed is installed.

I am working on a rooted version of the stock rom with fixes in place to upload, when complete
[Android General] GarrettVW67:
Look man, you have no idea how long I've been trying to get my j3 rooted. You are the man. I can confirm this works. So obviously we don't have any Roms for this phone, but could I install team win recovery? Not sure what good it would do but do you have any advice on that? I really appreciate you man.
[Android General] GidgetTheGnome:
Thanks! Glad this helped. Right now no costume recoveries work. Also if you have stability issues after flash, edit the build prop and find ro.secure.storage.support and set it to false. This will fix errors with the wifi, im working on another fix for this issue right now and getting a CWM/TWRP to work right now
[Android General] GarrettVW67:
Alrighty. I appreciate all your hard work bro. I've not had any stability issues so far believe it or not. Keep up the good work! Any work you put towards a rom or recovery id be happy to make a donation.

EDIT- Also, which xposed did you flash?
[Android General] GidgetTheGnome:
Use the link on the OP and download SDK23 / Arm Build and flash using FlashFire.

I recomend backing everything up before you do, make it the Odin flashable for easiest use

twrp is providing to be more difficult due to the locked bootloader and other security in MM. please stay tuned. Tonights build i flashed worked for the first boot, and then on the second boot locked the phone and soft bricked it.
[Android General] legnison:
Man thank you so much, i have been seaching a method for root my device. I can confirm it works on Samsung Galaxy Sol (SM-J321AZ). I updated the SU but now the problem is the Wi-Fi, i don't know how to delete the SS DATA File for fix that. Can you help me please? I don't know what is that file. I'm newbie with this and i want fix this problem, thank you again for your really hard work, i know this is hard!!!

EDIT 1

:

Another problem when the USB is connected to PC.

I'm getting this message every time i have connected my device to my PC (Windows) and sometimes the device reboots automatically without reason.

The last thing. I was trying to set SElinux to Enforcing on Terminal Emulator but it says:

"setenforce: Couldn't set enforcing status to '1': Permission denied"

I had to disable the service SecurityLogAgent for remove the security notifications saying "unauthorized files".

EDIT 2:

The problem with the Wi-Fi is when the device reboots it removes automatically all the networks and you have to enter the password again.

I received many errors on the menu saying "The system do not respond" and "Unfortunately calendar has stopped" i was unable to take a picture of this or take a Screenshot because it was blocked.

The flashlight icon doesn't work anymore after root the device. (I had to use a 3rd party app for turn on the Flashlight) It works good on the Camera.

I had to use Smart Switch in Emergency Mode for get back my device.
[Android General] GidgetTheGnome:
Please follow the directions above with the build prop editor to fix the wifi issue. As for the flashlight and the warnings they are still a work in progress, but doing the build prop edit has fixed some of the issues for me and I no longer get the error messages.

To set SELinux to enforce you have to do it through terminal emulator or ADB shell.

type:

SU

setenforce 1

getenforce

this should also help with the errors.

The Final method i used to get rid of the errors was, I froze all the knox processes.

The usb error i still get also but has had no effect on performance or on sync
[Android General] angrybear000:
Galaxy sol

Thank you for getting a root. I have a question/problem.

when I go to run wondershare it says it can not transfer data please reconnect and try again. it also says something about smart transfer.

do I need to use the paid version or will the free version work?

I have usb debugging enabled, I was able to flash the tar file via odin

Any help is greatly appreciated
[Android General] GidgetTheGnome:
This might not work for your phone as it is for the Galexy Amp Prime from cricket. The free version is all i used.
[Android General] angrybear000:
Thank you for the reply, I did see one poster above was able to get it to work on the sol. I'll pm him and ask if he had the same problems.
[Android General] angrybear000:
ok, so I have another question. I re-read above and looked at the attached picture and I was great getting the security log error when I tried to use wondershare. I downloaded package disabler and I ran it again and it didn't show that error but still said unable to root. Do you know if disableing the security log like that would make a difference? my model number is SM-J321AZ
[Android General] cutederf:
Will this work on sm-j320az cricket?
[Android General] GarrettVW67:
Quick question, if I were to factory reset or actually more so wipe my system and third party apps through flashfire, would anything incredibly drastic happen and also would I lose root?

Edit- to the guy above, yes this is for our j320az for cricket
[Android General] LeviathaninWaves:
I have a j320r4, for US Cellular. Tried a variety of root methods for my phone and all have failed so far. Would flashing this to my phone brick it? Would I be able to reflash stock if it did?

I might ask, what method does this use to obtain root. The guy I was working with on this phone seems to think my bootloader is locked.
[Android General] GidgetTheGnome:
Yes this is specifically for the cricket phone
[Android General] GidgetTheGnome:
I am not sure, I am not familiar with that phone sorry
[Android General] GidgetTheGnome:
If you do a factory reset after root you MAY lose it. I played around with it and did a system wipe from the bootloader and was able to install SU and reroot with out having to do anything else as when you do a factory reset it wipes the /data and /cache but leaves /system intact. My xposed framework also stayed intact after a factory reset. I do recommend installing Xposed and FlashFDS kit to fix security warnings from TIMA and KNOX
[Android General] GidgetTheGnome:
As this is not for your model, I am not sure. Sorry.
[Android General] James101:

[MENTION=7837458]GidgetTheGnome[/MENTION] i followed you instructions perfectly and have gained perm root on my cricket j320az. i have also succefully fixed the wifi with your instructions. i have installed xposed following the directions you have given. also i have used galaxytools to gain native hotspot feature to use at my own will. adaway works as well. every root app is working properly even greenify to extend battery life even further. if anyone has any questions on how i did any of the process please ask. it was very simple and easy to do as long as you follow the instructions per op. i used xtouchwiz to disable knox features

I want to know how you did it
[Android General] legnison:
The password protection is:

g0dsend313

Test the file and post your results please.

If we try to root with KingRoot after this modded file maybe could work, there is a way to delete Kingroot after root any device, i don't know if that can make more errors with the system.
[Android General] GidgetTheGnome:
Yes you will need internet as its like kingroot, it detects the phone then finds the exploit. hope all works out for you
[Android General] GidgetTheGnome:
As I said in another post, Kingroot does work and it is very unstable, atleast when I tested it, I was getting force close errors and everytime i tried to remove kingroot SU it would crash then i would lose root, but feel free to try anything and report back to us what you figured out as I am putting this project on the back burner for a while and messing around with the cricket S7
[Android General] zounduser:
I did test it, yesterday, and it fails to flash in Odin..... failed security check.

Anyways I had to be admitted into the hospital today. Which sucks, I really wanted to root before i came in! But oh well. I'll have to do it when I get out.
