Samsung released the official kernel for the Galaxy S4 Active. It is from the launch MF2 firmware which has since been updated to MF3 to fix issues with some phones not powering on without a battery pull and reinsert. STILL PROGRESS...

Love this phone so far, cant wait for root... I'm no expert when it comes to the development stuff. Is this whats needed by devs to figure out how to root?

Hey guys quick question. I think I am going to be trading my S3 in today to get the new HTC One on the EDGE program. My question is my S3 is rooted and running a custom ROM (CleanROM 8.1). Do I need to un-root and put stock ROM back onto the S3 when handing in the phone through the EDGE program? Thanks!

I'd love to see an answer to this question myself. I was going to do the same thing. The only difference is I have the stock ROM just rooted.
To be on the safe side and not get a called later on by vzw. I suggest to Unroot and put stock image on.

Thanks...If they did call you what would they say and would there be any repercussions? I didn't give them my S3, I had an old HTC Rhyme lying around (my girlfriends old phone) lol...It was rooted as well but stock ROM. I was to lazy to un-root it so I gave it to them rooted. I wonder what Verizon even does with phones traded in through EDGE?

Worse case give it back to you. Since i haven't read about edge cant tell u wat is ACCEPTABLE and wats not. Depending hows the quality of the fone they probably fix them recertified them. Resell as use or us as replacement wen ppl have a warranty claim.

Does VZW offer anything for the S3? If not and it's unlocked the dev community and a ton of members would love to get there hands on one

I picked up the S6 from Verizon over the weekend and without thinking I took an out of the box update that pushed the build to OF1. From what I have been reading there's no going back from this build. Is that true and would anyone know if someone is working on a method to root this new build or that will allow us to roll back to the old build to gain root?

Someone could be working on something. Probably won't know for sure until it's actually released, though. Until then you've just got to wait it out.
I feel sorry for you. You're kind'a SOL when it comes to rooting for now...

And we may be SOL for attaining 5.1.1 unless we go back to stock lol it may never get rooted

Yup, you are totally correct that we may be stuck with 5.0.2 forever If it wasn't for stagefright I'd be quite OK for that until M is available, I think.

Hell, I barely even use root on this phone. I'm tempted to unroot for the 5.1.1 camera options

I think I'll probably unroot when the update enabling Samsung pay comes out (fairly certain this one doesn't)

i picked mine up about a month ago, unwitting of the predistro of verizons aof1. i was really looking forward to rooting and beginning to work.
as such, im assuming, from lack of ability to load custom recovery, as well as not reload the baseband and have it stick, its pointless to try downgrading to the oldest stock? it bricks?
somewhat noob and would love a redirect to a better forum for this q if known.
I just got my Asurion refurbished phone, but my wife is still has OE2 rooted on her phone.
Can someone please tell me the best way to upgrade to marshmallow?
I really appreciate all the help!!

Have you figured out the best way? I too am interested in giving up root and going stock.

Download the full tar file, should be about 4gb after you uncompress it then put your phone in download mode and update via Odin

Hi guys, I've had more S6 since it came out but broke it shortly after rooting it. I can't remember how I rooted it or what I did but I got it fixed finally so want to use it again but it needs updated bad. How do I update it while keeping root? It's software version is OJ7 haha
Thanks!
