[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] debojyotidey:
the problem started when i went to flash stock.not from your link though.by seeing the file size in the link you provided i can say it might be the same file.the thing is that when i tried to flash the boot,recovery and modem they showed that 'Image size exceeded partition limits'.so when i observed the file size that was getting flashed(say stock recovery which is about 16MB),it showed that the size of the file getting flashed is 32MB.this is very strange. however, when i tried flashing twrp which is 8156KB,it showed that the file size getting flashed is 8156KB.

so even when the boot,recovery and modem steps failed to get flashed(flash partition gpt.bin and bootlader not getting flashed i know the reason) i tried booting, which obviously didn't boot.so next i flashed twrp and then a custom rom,it booted!! but everything related to modem,like wifi,sim,etc were broken.i think it is expected. also now the software status is showing 'modified'.

Your Bootloader, and likely partition table (gpt.bin), are still Lollipop... Flash the last lollipop image including bootloader and gpt.bin file, boot fully, then flash the first Marshmallow version available or OTA up... Until the partition table is updated your going to have problems.

fastboot erase system, userdata, cache. Reboot BL.

Flash only gpt, reboot BL.

Flash recovery, boot, system, modem.

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
You are confusing the boot and gpt images... gpt.bin is just the partition table, it is 32KB...

BTW, your device is a Moto G 2015 (XT1550), and not a Moto X Pure/Style... I would suggest moving this conversation to that area, although these devices are similar in how things are done, they are not the same.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GRANTY5050:
Hi folks, my S5900i went weird on me in a hurry. Any tasks that used a lot of power shut the phone down. Rebooting was hit and miss. It started when I flashed a rom update (stock rooted) and a boot loop happened. Plugged in to power enabled a back up flash to get an OS. I first thought I had buggered up the update, but the fix was a new battery.

I hope this helps if users that get similar symptoms.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] llawen:
Has anyone else noticed that root is taking longer and longer to drop? I remember note 3 & 4, root dropped before the phone was put up for sale. I think they phone manufacturers and carriers are making it harder and harder to crack bootloaders. It is sad. We pay hundreds of dollars for a device and it really is not yours. They will tell you what they want and don't want you to do with your device.

Solution...... (yes I am dreaming and understand people will not band together)

We all need to stop upgrading and getting new devices. Hit them in the pocketbook. They WILL change their policies.

That strategy will never work with such a popular device. There's too few people who are interested in this. The only thing that would work here is legislation.

It's the nature of Android. Not only are devices more secure, but there's fewer and fewer people who desire to root phones these days. Those that do, have mostly moved over to dev-friendly phones like Nexus, Pixel, OnePlus, etc.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] lildoggs:
I totally agree. With the unlocked firmware and all the themes in the theme store I have no need to root either. Half of the modifications people make for rooted devices are not exactly stable and will cause all sorts of instabilities with the os anyway. I've been rooting all my devices since the galaxy note, galaxy s days. I find it more useful to actually keep all my data on my device instead of flashing and reflashing all the time lol. ?

That's the reason I gave up on Samsung,need root MagnumOpus, Titanium, ROM and kernel mod etc. Google Pixel XL 2.... Come to butthead
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Rhambuss:
The majority of users don't know what rooting or a bootloader is, so those of us who like to root our phones, unlock the booatloader, use custom ROMs, etc are a very small percentage of the Android user base. As the software has developed, the reasons some individuals ran custom ROMs has been addressed, and those of us who were once diehard modders have slowly lost interest. I know back in my older Android days (LG G2, Galaxy Note 4, etc) I refused to use a device that wasn't running on a custom ROM. Today, I couldn't care less because the issues that drove me to rooting my device and using custom ROMs are no longer there. If I do get the itch to play around with custom ROMs, I can just buy a Nexus or Pixel device to play around with and my itch is satisfied.

The majority of the user base is your typical user who just wants to use the device. Most users care more about features over modability. And once you try out a few ROMs, it's a vicious cycle. I never had a stable device back in my Android KitKat days because I was swapping ROMs every other day. Part of the reason I intentionally buy devices where the bootloader cannot be unlocked, because I know I'll find myself in that same situation again. So just buying a second device and using that as my play-around device, and using my flashy Galaxy S8+ as my main driver is the best solution for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] djnikkofb:
The best reason for no root in my opinion is awesome security. I'm happy to see there is no root just yet. Families who use this phone for bills, money trade, etc. need a solid secure phone. On the other hand if your not using this phone for financial data, than it really does suck. It sucks because of the limitations of theming.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] peppersu812:
I've been rooting for many years. Met a bunch of awesome devs and remained friends with them. I can actually say rooting your device has became a thing of the past. Past few phones I've had I didn't root. Just seems like rooting now causes to many problems which is mentioned up above. It's not stable enough to count on when it's way to buggy. Not saying anything about the devs we have today but the devs even back in the day still had bugs. Just seems staying unrooted is the way to go for more stable unbuggy rom to catch an upgrade for more fixes which are stable and add on's.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] monkey39:
Eh, this is the first phone I've had in the past few years that I didn't feel like I needed to root. My previous phone was a Nexus 6p - while pure android and fast security updates was a definite plus, it just didn't have a lot of little features that I liked: theming, close Recents button at the bottom, stuff like that. And I never really felt that the custom kernels provided much better battery life than the stock kernel, which is the only reason that I flashed them in the first place. I'm pretty happy with the customization features present in Samsung's version of android, so I'm fine staying as is. Just being able to change carrier firmwares is enough for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ggrant3876:
This is also the first phone I haven't rooted on day one since the T-Mobile G1. In addition to the Samsung theme store there is now Substratum for Samsung available of which I am currently using Swift Black from the Play Store. Also on XDA there is a thread where you can use layers on your S8 or S8+. In addition to all of the customization the battery life is better than my rooted Nexus 6, best battery life of any phone I've ever had.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] jhofseth:
True. Security is incremental: little by little security gets better & better building on previous security features. Root is nice, also true. Bootloader unlock would be awesome for development of custom roms/kernels, etc. Here's to hoping! :)

Nonsense!

I agree with one of you, we should look for dev friendly device.

But it will be so much pain if you face tons of unfriendly bloatware, overheat device and lag even with 4 or 6gb RAM. No matter what root still essential factor to develop friendly firmware.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] InvisiChem:
I've been around for a very long time, just very quiet. Back in the Gingerbread days, I started by "jailbreaking" my iPhone 3GS and my Motorola Atrix (1st Gen). The OS were very different then. Also the policies regarding their use. Root/Jailbreak was a must if you wanted any of them to be functional or up to date. Exploits were aplenty and pretty much all Android's were marketed for their ability to customize.

Today, Android is as locked down as iOS, at least here in the US. The dirty cow exploit was a very short lived blessing in recent times. That exploit would not have even been needed even in the kit-kat days. Android's were setup to just type in "OEM unlock" at fastboot and done. Lol.

Companies have taken the progress by hobbiest modders, here and elsewhere, implemented the concepts and patched the exploits to save on R&D costs. Standard business practice, but sucks for those of us that develop for the fun and challenge.

Those are the main reasons everyone is losing interest. It now takes bricking multiple phones, setting off the tamper trigger or some other nonsence just to think about getting root, only to have a now substandard OS because of control practices.

Thank you active devs for the diligence this takes in today's times.

Hello,

I have a Canadian Samsung S7 Edge with an Exynos processor from Rogers. I have not rooted nor have I installed TWRP (every method I try results in faliure), and I have no choice but to keep it stock. I have already tripped KNOX.

Is there anyway to modify any files under the /system folder?

I am trying to add a line to \system\build.prop to get a stock navigation bar. (All the others are horrible, and ugly)

Thanks in advance!

No way, you must be root. If you already tripped knox, you have nothing to lose. Should be like this:

1st install twrp with Odin.

Then flash supersu from twrp and you re done

[General Questions and Answers] SGTBread:
Well that's the thing,

I have been trying to root this device ever since I got it. And each time I install TWRP, I soft brick my phone. It's because it's the W8 variant which isn't too popular. If i was able to install TWRP, i would be fine.

That's why I put "Without Root/Custom ROM/Custom Recovery".

BTW I have also tried the CF-Auto root and still resulted with error.
[General Questions and Answers] pr1jker:
'soft brick'? You need to be careful when restart after installing twrp: remove the battery, put it back and then restart using the combination keys to boot to recovery. If not, twrp is erased by system, and you boot to stock recovery. For note4, keys are Power key + vol up (not sure, verify please)

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanwlk:
The app lets you install that...

Nethunter is not a standalone ROM, that has been made for "noobs" to flash it right away. You can install Kali chroot everywhere. I personally use it through local SSH terminal with JuiceSSH and works like charm on the lastest LineageOS build.

I use it every day for network monitoring tools, programming, DNS utilities and just for the sake of having access to a Linux terminal on Android, very handy. Every sysadmin should have this, you can always find a use for it.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r0tati0n:
You mean the Kali Nethunter Roms are dead, but not the app? Where can I get the app?

Are the programs from the app updated regularly?

When nethunter from the app is installed, is a new kernel installed too and the old kernel replaced?

I don't get why you guys say Nethunter ROMs though, Kali is mounted as chroot and it's not an Android OS, those Zip ROMs just come with the chroot pre-installed but you can chroot whatever Linux distro you want. Before nethunter I used to mount an Ubuntu iso as chroot and worked very good, Kali is just easier thanks to the app.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r0tati0n:
Thank you :)

Just for clarification, as install as chroot it is basically a new set of scripts, having nothing to do with the original Android, so no new kernel is installed, correct?

Is it uninstallable without problems too?

@seanwlk I agree with the others you may be a senior member but that sure makes me wonder why on earth you're stating something so blatently incorrect.
