That's not true. another user here previously flashed the India rom on the 2513.

You could ask him to try and if it doesn't work, ask if he can flash it back.

Do that at your own risk since he's not confident it'll work. cross flashing a carrier locked phone might not be as straight forward, but idk cause i refuse to buy a carrier locked phone.
[Android General] protechtedd:
Just chiming in to say that I had no trouble rooting my CPH2515_13.1.0.600(EX01). Was all done in only 30 minutes (given I've done this before with other phones).

Thanks for the good guide!
[Android General] bizkit_120:
Sounds like you will use this as rooted wi-fi devices but locked with carrier forever...
[Android General] protechtedd:
Is that so; I hadn't seen confirmation that they won't unlock a rooted device. Why would that be? I can also just revert the root can I not?
[Android General] bizkit_120:
Basically you need to click that unlock app that baked in stock rom, it will NOT work if device is rooted... I assume you have metro version?!
[Android General] protechtedd:
I do have metro. Could I not hide root from it and make it work regardless? If not, I can simply use Swiftbackup to backup all my apps, unroot, unlock, reroot, and be just fine afaik. I can't imagine this being permanent.
[Android General] bizkit_120:
Which N30 variant you have? You need to double check with carrier

Each carrier will have different rules but TMO and Metro that is the way it is, it send request from phone not unlock code, that's why I haven't take action of root my phone..

Not bending the truth..for your reference from official site..
[Android General] protechtedd:
The word "disable" doesn't scare me. It will be disabled while it is rooted sure, but I can try to either: 1) hide root from the T-Mobile apps and try to unlock anyway, which could work fine, as we are already able to pass SafetyNet by hiding root, which is supposed to be the hardest to trick. Or if that doesn't work, then 2) unroot and then unlock, then root again. The unlock is permanent so they can't relock it after that.

I can't imagine they can detect the latter, especially if I totally wipe the phone back to stock again, there will be no sign that it was ever rooted. OnePlus phones don't track that like Samsung "Knox" does.
[Android General] bizkit_120:
If you go to about phone -> click unlock , see what errors msg you get? If it still says 180 days policy something..I think it may still works...... I'm not too sure as I haven't done carrier unlock on a rooted MetroPCS before
[Android General] bizkit_120:
Yea.. it could be..need to try and prove this theory.... but i just wondering why u are so rushed to get this phone rooted,you can't use other SIM anyway..no offense, just curious...🙂.. it's just a wi-fi phone at this point....any apps you use specifically neet root? ( besides AdAway )
[Android General] protechtedd:
Well for my use, this isn't my main phone. I have a Pixel 7 Pro as my main and cell use. The Nord I was able to buy for only $60 on a Metro deal, so I got it as a secondary phone for connecting to my drone, and storing lots of media since it has an SD card slot (and my Pixel doesn't).

For root, I do many things with it, but the primary reason I must root is to use SwiftBackup. It is the ultimate app backup and restore method and I totally depend on it. I also use root for MacroDroid to trigger and run automations. And root also lets me automatically enable Wireless ADB after a reboot and change the port number to my choice using a shell command. This makes it possible to use Scrcpy on my desktop to remotely control the phone. Last but not least, I can use root for many Magisk modules that are useful, such as ACC which limits charging so the battery life lasts longer, Increase the Saturation of the screen colors, use system-wide Adblocking on the hosts file, and also use LSposed (Xposed) for enabling even more root features.

There are a ton of very useful reasons to root, and personally I would rather have root and no unlock, yet knowing what I know about rooting, feel confident that I can unroot and unlock later if I choose to.
[Android General] bizkit_120:
Cool.. looks like an advanced root user.... metro unlock app shouldnt stop you unlock the carrier from the way how u play with root.. same thing I have OnePlus 9 daily driver and rooted..

Speaking of root app, for me I need BCR call recorder that's really my primary reason for rooting..also ACC yes that's also a must .. I always set charging cap to 85% , I can't let it sit there whole night charging 8 hours, irrespective of how good latest lithium battery on this day and age, still charging overtime will degrading life span for long run..

A side note, I believe acc doesn't work well with pixel 7pro when wireless charging, correct me if I'm wrong..
[Android General] protechtedd:
I haven't had any issues with ACC on my Pixel 7 Pro. It works flawlessly, stops charging at the designated amounts as expected.
[Android General] bizkit_120:
Wonderful 👍 you must found a perfect match switcher.. however that's not the case for my OnePlus 9, wireless charging with ACC is a hit or miss, so eventually i just do wire charging which works 100%... noticing wireless charging heat up the phone so badly so just a suggestion if you wanted to prolong battery life..use wire slow charging like 5w charger, do overnight with ACC is a best option..
[Android General] bizkit_120:
@protechtedd ... FYI later when you wanted to do carried unlock, you need unroot -> lock bootloader-> back to stock firmware .. give a shot..It should works theoretically...( personally I haven't try) Unless TMO and Metro is far superior they detected your phone as rooted and logged on their end now ..but that's highly unusual if they do so.. good luck 🤞
[Android General] protechtedd:
Thanks yeah I'll save that as a last resort. I doubt T-Mobile cares that much; They aren't the "root police". The only reason they disable the unlock app while root is enabled, is the same reason for bank apps disabling access with root: Their security team is worried that rooters can somehow hack the communication and perhaps unlock prior to authorization.

What is funny is that you can already do that with paid unlock services. But I have no need for that, patience will win in the end.
[Android General] bizkit_120:
True, banking app ( like Chase)doing much better job in terms prevent user access with root permission.....

unlock service I haven't see any on eBay ...do you have a link? if prices is below $5 i may pay for unlock.. otherwise I have really no hurry as it's my secondary WiFi phone just for browsing, YouTube
[Android General] protechtedd:
I don't have any to recommend, I've just heard they exist. They're only possible because people inside the industry are offering the service personally because they have access to the databases. It's grey-area and maybe not recommended, but I've heard people have done it fine in the past.
[Android General] L0tad:
Great guide, thanks for all of the info in this thread!

The original instructions reference and provide OPLocalUpdate_For_Android12.apk. For future visitors to this thread, here is the APK for 13, from https://oxygenos.oneplus.net/OPLocalUpdate_For_Android13.apk
[Android General] Cooltownaz:
Quick question so I have build version CPH2515 EX 01 with the security update July 5 is it possible to root my T-Mobile Variant? Also with having root access we can't do something to the carrier config file to carrier unlock like the old days..
[Android General] g96818:
it's the same file. i already checked

See post 1 for CPH2513_11.A.21 CPH2513_13.1.0.611(EX01) OTA update
[Android General] williamklam:
Previously with CPH2513_13.1.0.601(EX01) rooted.

Followed your Post 1 "OTA Update Instruction" section.

Updated to CPH2513_13.1.0.611(EX01) and retained root with no issue. Only took a couple minutes.

Thank you very much!
[Android General] tnetenbaa:
Got my CPH2515 on .520 rooted perfectly fine within a few minutes. Only issue I have is that the Local Update apk in the post isn't seeing the .601 OTA zip for some reason.
[Android General] bizkit_120:
Looks like you also gave up carrier unlock for you N30👍
[Android General] tnetenbaa:
Doesn't bother me any. If I want it back I can just unroot unlock and reroot. Simple. But don't really see any need to carrier unlock. T Mobile works great for me, don't see myself switching.
[Android General] bizkit_120:
Good luck..
[Android General] g96818:
Your phone is .600, not .601. Put the ota file in the main storage folder. It;s the folder that has DCIM, Downloads, Pictures, etc...

But, i don't have a .520 to .600 ota file so you're going to need to unroot and use the built in (stock) system updater, and then root using the .600 boot.

Warning: IDK if a newer update has been released or not. You're going to lose root if there's a newer 2515 update out there.

Just ignore him. He's been whining and harassing 2515 users throughout the entire thread.
[Android General] sajattack:
For me the linked ota and the official updater are both failing to install at 71% for the 611 update. Currently on 601.
[Android General] g96818:
did you unroot first?
[Android General] sajattack:
Restore images failed.
[Android General] g96818:
That's because you and the other 4 early rooters ignored me when I was trying to help you early rooters figure out if you can update or not.

flash the stock .601 boot image, update your phone and follow the new instructions to root.
[Android General] bizkit_120:
If you'd like use this phone to be unlocked on other carriers like me,my suggestion not root you phone now, many people on thread use N30 as secondary media phone or stick with TMO yea you can root or whatever is fine..
[Android General] g96818:
Has any 2515 users updated? Please share the new boot file to help out other users.
[Android General] tuxz0r:
Trying to extract boot.img with Android... Can anyone post the extracted boot.img for cph2515.611
[Android General] tnetenbaa:
I managed to snag the 611 OTA zip, I've read about tools to extract the boot.img, will try after work and post if successful.
[Android General] tuxz0r:
Thanks not around a computer atm. Otherwise I'd probably be able to do it with payload dumper go. Thanks.
[Android General] tnetenbaa:
Here's the OTA zip for .611 on the 2515, I tried running it through payload dumper go. but the boot.img comes out as a 0 byte file.

Dropbox

www.dropbox.com
[Android General] bizkit_120:
Thanks for sharing ota zip..yea.this is weird.. payload dumper should be very straightforward in terms to get boot img.. did it awhile back for my op 9 ,works like a charm.. not sure if anything changes on latest OP firmware..
[Android General] tnetenbaa:
Reading into payload dumper more, it looks like it does not support incremental OTAs, which at only 180mb, I'm guessing this is.
[Android General] tuxz0r:
Well that makes sense then... So downgrade to .600 root then update to .611
[Android General] g96818:
payload dumper does not work on OTA. You need the full rom. Still waiting for a 2515 user on .600 to volunteer helping the rest of you.
[Android General] g96818:
btw, that file is the 2513 ota that i already posted
[Android General] tnetenbaa:
This file is what Oxygen Updater gave me for the 2515.
[Android General] g96818:
oxygen updater only has 2513, but what do i know.
[Android General] rafe83:
Does anyone have the boot image for .611 on 2515? Or know if you can downgrade to a previous update to root then upgrade again?
[Android General] g96818:
No. I was trying to help someone update and obtain the boot. The boot was never sent to me so you guys are SOL.
[Android General] rootthedamnphone:
Hi, im new here. is there any reason why isn't there a dedicated page for N30, yet? the request was already made for it.
[Android General] rootthedamnphone:
I can send you a phone if that helps.
[Android General] g96818:
If you're willing, then that will help 2515 users.
[Android General] rootthedamnphone:
can you dm with a po box or an amazon locker address so i can order the phone for you? i'm still trying to figure out the models for N30. is this the T-mobile/sprint version?
[Android General] g96818:
2513 = unlocked

2515 = T-Mobile/Metro

Which one do you have? I have two 2513 phones. Amazon only sells 2513. Which do you have? If you have 2513, then you can just follow post 1 to root and update for as long as I have the phone, which will be about 2 - 3years.
[Android General] rootthedamnphone:
damn. i thought amazon had the 2515, i even checked the entry on bestbuy. they are all 2513.

the only way to get it is through T-mobile's overpriced plan. that sucks.

Newegg doesn't mention which one.

I don't have a current one, i've ordered 2513 from amazon.

Was trying to see if i can purchase 2515 for you so you can check it out.

Ah well....
[Android General] rootthedamnphone:
also found this on github https://github.com/r3dPuk3/twrp_CPH2515 are you familiar with this?

So my grandma got a Samsung S7 edge from a neighbor's neighbor and she wanted to install some banking programs on the phone, however, after installing the programs, it doesn't run the programs due to "security concerns".

I lurked around the phone and it turns out the phone is a stolen one as the IMEI's do not match the phone and by further checking, I believe it must've been rooted by Magisk v7.5.1 (I could be very wrong but that was the apk I found on the phone.)

I have no clue how to root phones and I just did some googling to find this website so, if there's a way that I can hide the root, I'd appreciate the help.

I'll attach some screenshots on the details of the root.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] antho59124:
any idee ? please
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] amn1987:
I guess only way out is to flash the recovery ROM in EDL mode. Since stupid Xiaomi has locked it off the only way out is to pay someone with an authorised EDL account to remotely flash it in your device.

There's a Telegram group where XDA members in the past have availed of such a service for a fee. No personal experience.

Also Post in thread 'fastboot help please' https://xdaforums.com/t/fastboot-help-please.4604515/post-88818939

Best way to avoid these issues is to switch to a custom ROM permanently.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Steroid msk:
I start to feel sad :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Joloxx9:
Why?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Steroid msk:
because when information comes from different sources about plans to launch a beta in the near future. Almost naming the exact date and time. And when the supposed moment comes, it doesn't happen.

In short, at such moments I am visited by a feeling of sadness.

You can already imagine how the fuss begins with changing the CSC or taking it with ADB and recovery ... To finally launch Android 14 aand see minimal changes :ROFLMAO:
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Joloxx9:
It seems like you'll never learn. Firstly, Samsung has never provided us with an official date for when the beta is supposed to start. Only some random guy from support said it would be on August 2nd, and all the news portals picked it up as a certainty.

Honestly, I don't understand the fascination with rushing to get the beta and going through all the hoops to obtain it. From one side, you risk compromising a perfectly functioning phone, and on the other side, it doesn't really offer anything special for an ordinary user beyond some minor tweaks and features.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] NullZeroNull:
Things rushed out the door have poor quality. I rather wait for something that is more stable than be reporting bugs non-stop. Beta software is to gather feedback rather than reporting bugs.

not having found any open topic about the Galaxy Watch6 I allow you to ask the question here, sorry if this is not the right place, I realize that I have a battery drain a because of Google play services, but I can't figure out how to fix the problem, does anyone have an answer? thank you

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] javi.duro:
I don't know if it the same than with GW5 but in my GW5 it happens when the ok google detection is activated, I prefer to activate it with the button.

I have deactivated the voice detection on bicsby to, it drains the battery to.

Hey google is already disabled, but I don't know about Bixby, I'll see and wait a bit, thanks for the answer, I hope it comes from there

Post edited on Friday August 4 at 7:42 a.m. finally, Bixby is not the problem, I still have battery drain with Google play services
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] bassman418:
So Ive had my GW6 for 24 hours now and I can say I do have Google Play Services drainage. But I can say from experiance that when ever you get a new device, the first day or so after setting it up that there is usually high drainage from some apps. Especially GPS. But it usually dies down.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] zenat:
I've had the watch for 11 days and Google play services are still draining my battery, currently after 1d and 12h 30% use of google services, even if it "eats" me less than at the beginning since I have an autonomy of about 2 days, but for example during the penultimate charge I had no drainage and I lasted more than 60 hours. GPS is permanently disabled
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] naudmick:
I've had the GW6 classic for 10 days now and is having the same Google play services discharge problem, I'm also wondering why. I don't use the Google Assistant so it's probably due to a lack of support for this watch by Google, I see that this explanation is possible.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] kodiak799:
I have no idea what is draining my battery - the stats only show about 25% of my usage, but I'm only getting 16-20 hours a day (GW6 Classic 47).

I do use AOD on max brightness and continuous HR monitoring. But My current estimate of 16-20 includes 8 hours of sleep monitoring. That stuff shouldn't nearly account for the 36 hour+ difference in battery life I'm seeing compared to others here.

Just horrendous. And, frankly, I don't use the advanced health features which seem to be pretty inaccurate and mostly gimmicks. So I guess turn off the advanced features, and if that doesn't improve things significantly I'll return for the G@5 Pro.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 6] bassman418:
Not sure about your battery draw. I would do a factory reset and see how that works. Also, afterwards update the apps. You can't compare the GW5 pro to the GW6 because the battery is almost 40% larger than that on the GW6. Really no comparison. It will definitely kill it in battery life.
