You mean the phone that came out a month ago? What did you expect? That happens for every new device that comes out, it doesn't mean there's no development or that it's a failure. It just means it's a new phone, not many own it, new technology to crack, etc...:good:
I been looking for a rom to port a few app over to the s5
I was looking at getting it, but I can't be on the phone and Internet at the same time, lame.

I thought that issue was only with sprint? My nephew has the s5 and he can't do that be on the phone and Internet at the same time If Verizon gonna start to do the same I guess I'm gonna have to switch carrier in the future

I am a rep for Verizon and Samsung advocate I must say the S6 has the worst design I have ever seen. On the up side it has the best screen I have ever seen. Glass back and raised camera is just the worst idea and main reason I got away from Apple that and no removable storage

If it drops on its edge, seems like the screen would fracture immediately!
If you drop it with no case the whole phone will crack front and back.
they rooted S6 but we can't easily (one-click solution) root S5? /sigh

There's a one-click solution to rooting the latest S5 build number that doesn't involve downgrading firmware? Dang, apparently I've been away! Do you have a link to this? That would be awesome, thanks.

You still have to downgrade to ncg firmware, but it's a one click app that does it. But the s5 is still perfectly rootable, it's easy.

No you have to downgrade and towelroot. You claimed there was no root for the S5, there certainly is, it's just not a one-click method.

It wasn't really clear by your initial comment what you meant. You're not going to get a 1 click root for the S5. Once the TR process was made, that was it, root achieved. The phone can be rooted, so no more development needs to go into an already proven concept, just so some people won't have to downgrade. :good:
Yes you can use data and phone at the same -- Verizon "Advanced Calling"

It's pretty dumb they didn't enable this out of the box. On Verizon, you need to go into your vzw account and enable the free option for "advanced calling 1.0". It'll push VOLTE to your phone, which you can enable in settings -> mobile networks (i think it's under some other menu item on the S6). Bang, it'll now do both. I know, dumb.

Gave my S5 to my daughter. She's only 12, any ROMs? And has anyone tried the multiboot port? I have multirom and its nice
ok so i updated ,via OTA ,to version 5.1.1
after this i decided to try to root it using a flashable file (odin) and now the touch screen doesnt work.
i dont know what else i could possible do, i tried factory reseting even though i knew it wouldnt work since i flashed a boot.img file
so my last guess would be to flash the stock firmware, i have the stock firmware for 5.0.2 but you cant downgrade so i really need the G925PVPU2B0F7 firmware
if anyone knows where i could get it or any other ways of fixing it please say!

yeah, it recognizes my phone but i cant really do anything with it, according to smart switch, my phone is fully updated so i cant change anything and emergency recovery only works in a specific situation
the reason i needed the stock firmware for that version was because while attempting to get root i flashed (with odin) a boot.img and now the phones touch screen wont work
It took a month before the firmware was released. If you have Sprint insurance you can get a replacement for $0 dollars or $75 if you dont. You have to visit a repair store to start the paperwork. Jus claim, the phone touch screen didnt work after the update.

Hey, I did the same thing you did and someone had told me about this..... http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...t/5-1-1-stock-of7-kernel-root-7-4-15-t3150350
Download the stock kernel from this forum above.
I flashed it via Odin and now have my touchscreen back. Now it's not a total fix but I'm now writing you this on my edge with the touchscreen working. It's the only thing available right now for us. Two things that don't work are the back and recent apps buttons and when you lock your phone the screen won't come back on without restarting into download mode then hitting restart phone from there. So I've just been keeping phone plugged in for the most part because of this so screen won't go off.

Yup 5.1.1 rooted. Both work just each one has its problems. I'd rather have working data using the stock of7 kernel tho. The us cellular kernel has working buttons and screen comes back on after it goes off but no data so if you could talk to some people about this maybe we could get a working kernel with root where everything works, which would be awesome.

No need to. The phone is great straight out of the box. I have been rooting phones since hoc evos, and I'm finally happy with phones today. Additionally, once you root it, it's a pain in the butt to update the software and many other little things. So that's why

With the newest software, root is somewhat useless. Xposed may not work correctly, no OTA, plus note 5 has the electronic root thing, so when you tooth the phone, it is tripped and can never be returned to original state, thus, service providers will know it is rooted and may deny repair, replacement.

You do realize sprint doesn't even remotely care right? They just ask that you have "stock" when you have a problem and need the device serviced. However if you are stock rooted this has no bearing whatsoever.

PROJECT ABANDONED.
None of my test units are vulnerable, and no other dev has shown interest.
Good news though, hope is not lost- there is a big vuln unrelated to Drammer that may be the key to CID 11 getting root.
I am working on this new project actively, as I have already gotten root access on my test units.
THIS IS A R&D THREAD!! Please only contribute / wait patiently.
This aims to get CID 11 (locked bootloader) users rooted on 6.x ROMs.
*Note: VUSec has decided against releasing their implementation of the exploit (a test utility was provided instead).
This may change in the future, but until then we will attempt our own implementation based on their work.
If you would like to see if your device would be vulnerable you can use VUSec's app here: https://vvdveen.com/drammer/drammer.apk

I hate to rain on the parade, hauckk. But i don't see where you're able to help for the CID 11 devices...? unfortunately, you're unable to help as to this thread was made to aim to get the CID 11 users rooted on 6.x ROM's. Being that you have the CID 15 device and that you're rooted with the bootloader unlocked, i don't see how you're going to help with the CID 11 users. Especially from "hard brick" because of you not owning a CID 11 device.
Again, I'm for smokerbond to continue with his OP and not questioning him one bit :good:. It's how someone with the CID 15 device will be fit in when you're able to do what others cannot...?

Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
I know about the exploit and what it's about....not 'flaming' you at all, it was somewhat how you first defined it and also with you having the 15 chip i don't see much of how it may help as to it's vulnerable opposed to the 11. Speaking of which, there was no mention of the CID's of the 2 devices used in the test. Could one of them have been a 15 CID and the other the 11 CID??? That may be something one's need to request for more information on the devices used. May help with the OP's R&D of this topic.....
Great point I hadn't thought about that the different cids 15 or 11 in the test

Happy to see some users are still fighting for control over the VZW S5 with eMMC 11 chips. That being said, anyone have luck getting root on 6.0* ROMs? I just flashed BS_FREE_MM_PF4 via Safestrap on my locked bootloader, which is great to have stripped down / bloatware free(ish); however, there are just some root features I can't live without.
Obviously, it's definitely time to upgrade to an s7 or perhaps wait for the Note 8... any device suggestions?

So I just went through the links at the beginning of this thread, and just realized that I cannot do this. I do understand what you're trying to do, but I'm not the person to test this out. While I got the concept, I'm not a programmer, or someone who knows code etc... Sorry that I couldn't be of any help, but hopefully someone who's a lot smarter than me will be willing to test.

I just haven't had any time to look into this and give it a shot. I'm going to see if I can get to work on it now though. I'll have the next 3 days off, so hopefully that should give me some time. I'll post updates when I can.

So I just went through the links at the beginning of this thread, and just realized that I cannot do this. I do understand what you're trying to do, but I'm not the person to test this out. While I got the concept, I'm not a programmer, or someone who knows code etc... Sorry that I couldn't be of any help, but hopefully someone who's a lot smarter than me will be willing to test.

Nobody thought you'd be able to tbh
They didn't even release an actual root method
I have full ODIN firmware with build G955U1UEU1AQDC for AT&T SM-G955U1 model. Question is: what provider is this phone from and do anybody need this firmware ?

Yes, Stay Put for the moment. I think I found the XAA Version. I am installing it on my AT&T S8+ now using Prince's Odin I will upload it soon if it works.

It's carrier unlocked not bootloader unlocked. Still not root and most likely won't ever get root+twrp for it.

Did last year's snapdragon S7 ever get root? I'm not used to this because all previous Galaxy phones were international, but my carrier is selling the U1 model this time around and not "F" varients... Im not holding my breathe for custom recovery/roms bit would be nice to use titanium backup and ad away...

The S7 got what we called ENGBOOT root. Which was not really full functioning root. It required you to flash a Samsung created engineering kernel, that is purposely unstable, but is designed to help Samsung repair shops fix corrupt devices.
With some tweaking root was achieved, but the bootloader stayed locked. And the performance was so degraded by the engineering kernel MOST people went back to stock and never used root.
Sadly rooting and ROMing most phones is going away. Especially now that Google is providing an easy way for developers to turn off access to an app if the user is rooted. Right now even if you have root you can't use Netflix, Samsung Pay, Android Pay, among many others.
If you want root still I'd look at a 1+ or the Essential phone or the international model if this phone. Otherwise you are probably out of luck.

Since you have been so helpful at crushing my root dreams lol j/k.. Is there a way to get what I'm looking for i.e.
Ad-less youtube
Ad-away
And maybe a way to freeze/uninstall apps
All without being rooted?
Its been a long time since I had a stock phone and the freaking advertisements have gone wild... Thanks I appreciate it

Yes.
I have been using AdClear for a while now and it works great including in YouTube. The development team has an xda thread that has the downloads and a bunch of great info. Just search xda.
I use BK Package Disabler to freeze apps. It lets you freeze individual processes in apps as well which is great for blocking only certain features of apps. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kunkunsoft.packagedisabler
For making a back to restore I actually like Samsung's Smart Switch. Works great to backup your phone to a computer.
Also in Developer settings you can manually address your DPI, and over in the S8 International threads there is a list of about 40+ fonts that can be installed.

Galaxy S7 edge
I have an s8 and s8+ unlocked on TMobile. Want to use on Optus in Australia and then when I return on AT&T. Optus uses band 28 which T-Mobile doesn't . In another thread someone suggeted flashing G950U1 XAA, is this the "plus" equivalent? Assume steps to flash same? Also is this the download: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G955U1/XAA/download/G955U1UEU1AQE3/171775/

So AT&T firmware has advantage over this? Will it matter that it has AT&T firmware using on OPTUS Australia?

One of the phones I may try to sell when over there, though the buyer will have to get his own USB adapter

Yeah it has voice over LTE. And a few other things. Still gets great battery life and you can disable any att features you don't want.

Awesome. Will flash when I get a chance. Hopefully no issues on OPTUS.
This may seem like a stupid question, and I am assuming the answer is no, but does flashing an official firmware lock it to that carrier ?

No as long as you sim unlock it first there should be no issues
