My girlfriend has a stock unrooted phone. Today she got a notification that an update to her OS was available and downloaded it. Is this thing safe to install?

Yes it is if you want to remain stock. The new update requires some finesse to root. If you dont care for root then go for it. If you want root, do it now. Just get Ace Advanced Hack Kit and follow the instruction.
She's kind of on the fence about rooting her device, so I want to keep the options open. I guess that as long as the update doesn't stop her from rooting with Ace Hack kit, (I've used it before) or locks the bootloader as happened with Motorola, I can tell her to go ahead.

It's a bigger pain to root with that update. If she's considering rooting and the update isn't a huge deal to her you might want to tell her to stick with what she has until she decides whether to root.
Please post all questions in the Q & A section. Thanks! Thread moved.

I recommend using the hack kit. S-off that thing and install one of the rooted versions of the new RUU. ClearDroid and GizRoot work sweet.
Enjoy the Pickle
We S-off'ed it for her last night. Went smoothly. I will take a look at what's out there for her and see what kind of mods, tweaks, and roms tickle her fancy. I know she's going to want to enable native tethering, so I guess I'll start there. Appreciate all the tips guys. Keep 'em coming!

Welcome! Well, seeing as how tethering is one of the bigger reasons that people root, most ROMs (at least non-Sense ones I've tried) have them. You might want to tell her to aim a little higher.
Try Android Revolution HD. It is basically the update she would have gotten but rooted and can hotspot with no problem.

C'mon, 4.1.2 was the last official release. We're not getting 4.2 and we're certainly not getting 4.3 or 4.4. You should know a little about your device before posting questions here.

Thats for Kit Kat
Better check before u do all your sarcastic bull****.......That's for KitKat ,not Lollipop........
1) The person you're telling to check and accusing of sarcastic bullsh*t is the OP of the linked thread.
2) Literally the very next two posts are about using the exact same method for Lollipop.
As someone once famously said, "Better check before . . . "
I did try it and it didn't work on my Lollipop...... I did check it and I did try it.... Plus I did search for my the root before I asked for help......
There is a big difference between just helping and being a ***** about it...... Anyways..... Thanks for helping..... But it did not work for me..... Guess it's my phone.....
Let it go man..... Was not looking to get into a fight or something.....
Everything got wiped when I tried it..... So was pissed off a little.....

Every Note 4/Edge I've worked with has accepted whatever root method was used in KitKat for Lollipop. From what I've read, there may be a few models around the world that this doesn't apply to, but I haven't worked with any of those.
Mine's from India? Know anything about that? Is there a way around this?

Any chance of downgrading? I thought I saw a post somewhere about upgrading to lollipop while keeping root.
Will that work?
I'll try it out then.....
Sent from my SM-N915G using XDA Free mobile app
To be honest, I have no idea. It's just one of those threads I glanced at while looking for something else. I'm not planning on upgrading to lollipop until xposed and more support in general, so it didn't interest me at the time.
Firstly, sorry if I sounded sarcastic, there a a million+ people out there who start by just going "how do I root....." without checking and having the information stickied EVERYWHERE - been here a while & am a shift worker....
Sorry to hear it wiped your info, didn't have that problem because I always have everything backed up and start on fresh install, less problems that way...
As to getting root in KK and keeping it through a flash to Lollipop, Chainfire has a new flashing app called Flashfire that seems to be VERY good (as per all his apps) but it is a beta test you need to apply and join, you also need to be rooted.
I've used it to backup most of my data with good results but haven't felt the need to flash anything yet. It is the successor of Mobile ODIN so you will need to flash Lollipop bootloader, modem and non-hlos.bin in PC ODIN but it should be able to flash Lollipop while injecting supersu (1.46 Supersu) and keeping root.
I'd start there - Chainfire's Flashfire.
Good luck
Yes, that's what I was trying to remember. Best bet right there if normal root methods aren't working. I personally like to run towelroot, even though there's an effectively 0% chance of it doing anything, just 'cause I can

The simple solution isn't always simple for somebody on fixed bandwidth with no actual internet or ISP, a 2GB file is not an option for me at this point. A small APK that's mere KB's is a much better alternative. Thanks though.

I actually ended up in a hotel as of recently, so I just used the wifi while enjoying the stay. Needless to say, while being "lazy" I managed to pull the APK from the stock rom and upload it to devhost.

One problem. It doesn't seem to play well. Installation fails and I'm not quite sure how to make it work. If anyone needs anything else from me, please let me know. I made a backup of the stock rom.
We will have to see though, being that im so damn lazy.

MetroPCS Official Device Unlock APP - SOLVED
This will work if you have a un-rooted MetroPCS device
1. Please back up all your data ( any pictures, video contacts etc).
2. NOTE This step will delete all your data and wipe your phone clean - Do a factory data reset : - go to setting and search for "reset"
when your phone restarts it will load up the MetroPCS stock ROM and you will have all of the MetroPCS app suite including the official MetroPCS device unlock app.

We AT&T users also lost root with 6.0, nor can we go back. Im HOPING his method may have something we can use to root our phones as well! (although I highly doubt it, as it probably had something to do with the unlocked bootloader.)
Almost at the point of doing the unthinkable and jumping to an iPhone. More and more phones are being shut out of being able to achieve root
Google translate works better with Vietnamese to Cantonese (I can read it) as they're pretty close.
Unfortunately, I don't see any clue.
Anyway, I flashed 100% stock + root using the two parts ROM from development section, and flashed root in TWRP during flashing process.
