[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Delgoth:
Persistent Root was only attained on Bootloader Revisions 1-3. I had Root and told everyone NOT to update but they did anyways. I really had root. But I was the only one left on Bootloader 3.

I actually have the real ENG firmware for Bootloader Rev 3 though. No one listened. And the same method was later used for the initial Galaxy S8 Root. I had the right idea at the time but no one took me seriously at the time.

But I no longer have a Note 5 device to do any tests on.

If you have a device on bootloader Revision 3, please let me know and I can root it for you. Revision 4 Might still be possible after all the security patches nowadays. But I need like 2 advanced testers preferably. I have ZERO clue about Revision 5. I did some work with Rev 4. But I never updated my device while I had it to Rev 4.

I only ever updated to the 3BPH4 firmware, never went past it. Because I had the ENG Rev 3 Bootloader that would allow a downgrade from Revision 3 to Revision 2.

YES YOU READ THAT CORRECTLY. MY REVISION 3 SBOOT COULD BE DOWNGRADED TO REVISION 2 SUCCESSFULLY. (however I never managed to get 'param.bin' and 'cm.bin' to downgrade. I think I used the wrong flash order though.)

You need to check out the companion thread as well: Injecting Root and Setting SELINUX - End Stages? Greyhat Root

That thread details the work on Bootloader Rev 4.

I still know about all this. I no longer have the device BUT AM VERY WILLING to help power users and advanced developers finish what [MENTION=7945178]droidvoider[/MENTION] and myself started. I still have ideas. I still have a lot of info. But I have made two threads containing 90% of all it. So please start there, and then I will help.

If I were to grab up another Note 5, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to find one that hasn't been updated past Revision 4. I understand a bit more nowadays than I did then. But I think we may need a real APK to take advantage.

I only ever stopped because everyone in my life was hating on the project. I spent too much IRL time on it. I did in a Week what people still haven't done. Verizon even confirmed it on the G925V.

I'm sorry. I do get a little salty sometimes hahahaha. Because now it is too late for pretty much everyone. I tried though. We can still do this if you haven't updated so far yet.

PLEASE QUOTE ONE OF MY POSTS. OR MENTION ME WHEN YOU POST SO I MAKE SURE I SEE IT PLEASE

Do we have root for bootloader 5 on SM-N920A?

Delgoth...anyone around to help?

I was just giving this phone and trying to root it. Build is N920AUCS4EQH1. Is root possible?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] unix4linux:
Any luck on this? I'm also wanting to root with the same build as you. Actually, my build is slightly different: N920AUCS4EQL1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] VanillaG0rilla:
No reaponse. I was able to go back to an older version and root, but its either the engineering build, which doesnt have a lot of apks and im unsure of how to get them. Or i have a full build but lose root after about 10 min or a reboot.

---------- Post added at 08:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:42 PM ----------

Im wondering if i can root, backbup system apks, gonto the combination build and restore them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Delgoth:
That last bit at the end, was how the Revision 3 MM root was going to be. Because the Eng LP Kernel could be flashed to the stock MM builds. It would not boot, but wouldn't bootloop either. If you got your timing correct, there was a window where you could open an ADB Root Shell with the eng kernel. If you used the window correctly, you could make changes & modify the stock MM build with the eng adb shell, reboot to download mode, reflash your MM kernel, and keep the changes. I did this with the G925V as well. Problem being, it was limited to changes outside the Ramdisk because you had to change kernels.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] dhart62:
[MENTION=3254678]Delgoth[/MENTION] I am willing to flash the device. I am also still learning android studio though. I will read the post to refresh myself before I flash and report my progress. The device I have is not a primary so it's up for "testing" lol. I also need to make sure any links are still viable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Delgoth:
You may have to flash the combination firmware for rev4 before you can flash the rev2 eng kernel. I'm not sure if anyone has tested that or not. If that flash doesn't work then you will need an eng sboot (not from the standard combination) for rev4 and we could probably make it work.

I tried that however I can not get Google play services/services framework and Google account manager etc... to work... , Whether it's related or not, I could not get Titanium Backup to work either.

---------- Post added at 01:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 PM ----------

I am also willing to do whatever it takes to make this happen, however I am having issues with my micro USB port on my phone since a couple nights ago. I'm hoping it's a software related but fear that it's hardware... Not sure tho cause it will charge fast when I use a data sync cable which I thought the data + and - were required for for the phone and the charger to communicate (excluding older phones) in order for it to allow which ever fast charging technology it uses to kick in. Correct me if I'm wrong... thats just my assumption. Assuming that's true I would think it would be able to connect to my laptop since that works... Anyone have any idea what's up w that?

I dont know if it needs nougat or lollipop. Try it on the combination firmware after youve rooted the combination firmware for revision 4 or 5.

If we can get that recovery to boot, we might just be able to install the stock roms on top of the combination firmware. I know there are two android builds between them, but with a booted & rooted twrp, we can do all kinds of things in memory. It might even be able to access the stock rom data after its been installed. And there is a revision 4 recovery that is said to allow stock to boot even with dm-verity failure.

And one of the firmware builds for revision 4 just might be vulnerable when booted by safestrap.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fullmetal Jun:
Sony, LG, HTC, etc have it, but for some reason(might be the home button), Samsung doesn't have it!

There's an alternative where in Accessibility - Dexterity & Interaction - Easy Screen Turn On, you just wave anything over the proximity sensor & the screen will turn on and uses negligible battery life since it's a stock feature.

For screen turn off, just use a gesture shortcut from Apex or Nova prime launcher with Greenify or use a screen off app.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pranKster78:
Hello Friends,

I have been hanging around for a while now. I tried my hand few times to update my Samsung note3, as Official service is not provided to phones bought from outside India. Sadly.

Current ROM that I flashed was in 2015. But it is unstable. It changed a lot on my phone,

like my model no now looks like - SM-G9250, (originally it was

SM-N900

) only.

Details of my phone are:

Android Version: 5.0.2

Baseband Version: N900XXUENG1

Kernel version: 3.4.39-5466072

Build Number: Aurora.Full-G9200.Port.No.4.2

Important: Phone is Samsung Note 3 (Exynos)

My question is simple:

Please help me find best / suitable ROM that my device can happily run. Without any Google Service Errors.

If possible, please point me towards instructions about what to do and how to do. Technically I am little confused seeing all the choices here in forum.

Thanks and Regards,

Praveer.

Come on Guys, Help me out. No one has any answer ? :confused:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pranKster78:
Update fro my side

===============

I tried using [7.1.x|SM-N900| Unofficial LineageOS 14.1 (ha_3g)], I find myself in particular problem, after flashing ROM, GAPPS and SU binaries, the Google Music stops just when I begin to set up the phone (It happens when language is getting selected), upon going further, the "Google Play Services" stop when I am trying to setup the Google A/C, just after setting up wifi on my phone.

Actions taken so far:

===============

I have tried flashing ROM again and again (must be more than 10 times and counting), I have tried flashing ROM + GAPPS before flashing SU. I then tried ROM+SU and then GAPPS. I flashed ROM with GAPPS (Pico) too. The verisons of GAPPS used so far now are SUPER, STOCK & PICO.

Out of all combinations, Pico gives me least headace. But Google Play Service Framework should be same in all packages, right ? In either case, I am always greeted by "Google Music has stopped" just before I begin phone setup.

Plus I noticed when I did factory reset+cleaned internal storage+cache, I always get "E: Resource (front) -(fixed) failed to load" message in logs.

Do this error creating problems in flashing GAPPS ?

Also, Can some one please tell me what should be partitions on the phone (Samsung Note 3 (SM-N900)) Exynos based ? Maybe I have wrongly configured phone setup ! After all, I have tested so many ROMS over last 3-4 years, that I have forgotten the original partitions detail.

Regards,

PrankSter.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] high_voltage:
WQHD ofc as if you don't game the power saving is not worth to have blurry image. It's just too little of a difference + the phone feels faster/more fluid on wqhd. FHD is if you game more to have better framerate and battery life as the GPU will have a lot less stress. For general use either resolution is of a no problem for that GPU. Cheers! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] m0yP:
So why does the power saving profiles want to decrease screen resolution? I'm currently testing, though. I really don't see any big difference in terms of quality between WQHD and FHD.

you will be able to tell more if your wallpaper is a picture you have taken with your camera and not just a bad quality one from Google etc

Wqhd is a lot better

Go to change your power saving mode and customise it

It will tell you even if you go down from qhd to just hd it will only save you 4 minutes of battery
