Has any one used this yet on there phone? Better yet can it be used on our phone?
I don't think it can be used on Verizon phones yet... It requires root and there is no root for 5.1.1 which it is designed for

Currently not possible as you need to be rooted and also on a deodexed ROM.

Do you think there is any hope of using flashfire to flash custom rooms for vzw note pro 12.2?
I used flashfire on my fiancés rooted vzw note 3 last night to flash the jasmine rom they have available, so since the note 3 has a locked bootloader as well I wondered if we could expect the same capabilities if roms were developed? The thread on flashfire says it's been used on a plethora of samsung devices...

I used flashfire to upgrade stock note 4 and notepro 12.2 on stock lollipop and it is working just fine.No problems at all.

Did you roll back to 4.4.4 and root then use Flashfire to come back up to lollipop and keep root for your note 4?
Lollipop for the Verizon Note Pro hasn't released in the US yet, but you were abe to use Flashfire to maintain root and hop up to lollipop on your tablet as well?
Thanks for the reply! Happy to know flashfire is an option!
You don't need to roll back.Just rooted lollipop and kitkat is upgradeble and downgrade also.I tried both and did work as well.Flashfire has auto root option itself and during flash injects supersu.
In both my devices works as it suppose to do.Just like old MobilOdin did.

Who's your carrier for your devices? As far as I know there isn't a permanent root method for Verizon Note 4. The king root has gained temp root for vzw note 4 but it's lost upon reboot and there isn't a way to replace their su with chainfires su.
As for the note pro lte with vzw there isn't an official lollipop update out for Verizon here in the US and no dev roms to go up to lollipop so I'm curious how you e managed to do this for both devices?

All my devices are unbranded.No carrier.I never bought device in my life attached to any carrier contract.It is against my nature.
I suppose that explain why I don't have problems so far.

Ah well that explains it then. Thanks for replying though I think I'm gonna start doing the same thing, I want to buy the new nexus they are releasing this year straight from Google and then have it activated by Verizon so I can have the unlocked bootloader and such.
Thanks for the help!

Yes, it will be a smart move.
Take care and good luck.
Why can't we flash the D6603 pre-rooted XZDR 5.1.1 Rom on a rooted/recovery D6616? I thought the only thing stopping us before was that we did not have root or a custom recovery on the 6616, so we could not do it without losing DRM keys. Has that changed or not?
Because bricking your phone isn't fun
Right, I understand that there are risks involved. What I am trying to understand is what in particular creates those risks. Could you explain a little further why flashing a D6603 zip would brick the D6616?
I am curious about this as well.
I just recently got my Z3, which I had to unlock since I use AT&T. I now want to root and put 5.1 on it, but it seems like the T-Mobile one is so locked down. As far as I know about DRM keys I don't really care about them since I am not planning on using any Sony software (except maybe the camera software) If I could just put 5.1 on it, with a camera app that shoots RAW I would be happy.
What version do you have? We have root for the D6616 but that won't help us get 5.1 from what I can see. Best bet is to get the D6603 if that is what is most important to you.

I have the D6616.... I guess I don't care so much about 5.1 as I do getting the best battery life possible. But it looks like custom roms are not available since the boatloader is locked?

That's correct - we're limited to modifications of stock. But that makes me wonder why 5.1.1 wouldn't work.

I've been looking for a 5.1.1 for the D6616..... Prerooted.... No one has this yet? I am on 4.4.4 stock rooted ROM, and I have a flashable 5.0.1, but I see no reason to not want 5.1.1, so why do you say root on 5.1.1 isn't doable?

It's not root that's not doable. There exist 5.1.1 prerooted zips for D6603. The issue is that 5.1.1 for the D6616 has not been released yet, hence it has not not been rooted.

Ah, understood now. Thanks for clarifying.
Let me preface, I'm using a 920T
I've been able to determine when I flash a 920T based rom, android su root disabled, I can configure and use android pay.
When I flash a 920F/925F rom I get an error that it can't verify device or software running is compatible. I've tried using xposed modules (device cloak and disable device checker) and still no go.
Is there some way to get the base to act/be/fake different than what is actually installed?
Similar to fix the Netflix bug you change the model in build.prop to 920K.
Could a rom that has a 920F base, be transposed or features migrated to a 920T rom, for example?
Either 1- I run a rom that doesn't have the features, battery, speed I want and have android pay. 2- run a rom I want and no android pay. 3- have a nandroid of a 920t stock rom and flash back and forth when needed (a pita for sure).
As far as I know there is no way you can use android pay and have a rooted device.

Yes you can.. The issue is because most roms are European base, android pay is only available in the US. So roms specifically for att, tmobile, Verizon, sprint all should work; as my test of two roms proved

I thought pay would detect the su binaries. That's what a Google developer said.

Couldn't test it though.

I tested by rooting a sprint s6 then adding a credit card with no issues what so ever. The problem definitely lies in EU based ROMS

Exactly. So some way need to fake our rom to be based on USA rom.
I hope some devs can look into this..
Maybe it's because of the fact that Android Pay is only available in the US.
I tested it by installing the apk on a stock unrooted G920F but it wouldn't let me add a credit card because Play Services force close.
And I live in Germany.
I just got this tablet and I made the assumption rooting wouldn't be an issue and now i'm shocked that it appears it can't be rooted. Is this true? I searched and found a lot of older thread but seeing if something new or changed?

Was this answered? I want to root and clear out "miscellaneous files"
Has anyone gotten root and custom recovery on this yet
Hey, my s7 edge is not rooted yet should I root now?
Only root if you know what you want to do with it afterwards. Don't root for the sake of it if you know what I mean

I am going to try out some roms is it worth it or there is not any good roms yet?
I used to be a keen rooter and user of custom roms but I realised slowly you can achieve most of the desired benefits of rooting by not rooting. It depends on the person, but for me it was blocking ads and removing bloatware. Now you can get Package Disabler Pro which disables anything you want, and 3rd party apps like Adguard which block all ads also. And the added benefit of having a working Android Pay (Though it does work on rooted stock)
I want a pure stock android like lineage os should I root for this matter ?

Yup theres a lot of good stable ROMs though they may still be unofficial. Some ROMs even go up to having Nougat.
The best ROM out there is the SuperMan ROM though, a lot of features and liked by many.

did you spend any money?
I initially rooted the phone to try out different ROMS, xposed etc... but I'm now regretting it. I cannot use Samsung Pay, something that is generally used by most S7 users here in Korea and globally.

I should have said I stopped rooting on my previous s5.
So when I ran into major problems with this phone(s7 unrooted ), I had no problems getting it repaired by Samsung.
So no it didn't cost me anything.
If I did root I probably would have been screwed!!
So be aware, and think carefully if you need root.
