Can I expect the note 5 to ever get root, maybe some one will find a way to do it or perhaps Verizon will lift Knox with Android n update

I'd love to know the answer to this as well. I've had Verizon Android phone after phone after phone and this is the first one I've not been able to root. Granted, this phone is really great and I can get away with not rooting but damn, it's like a cake without any icing. Some might say, "then that ain't no cake". I might agree.

Well I've gone without root this long, I'm not messing with it now. If someone complies a bad kernel or ROM, this phone could be bricked too easily. And you can't exactly do a battery pull to get it out of a bootloop. I'm fine without root

There are tons of apps in the play store (and elsewhere) that allow you to modify or access various parts of the OS that are normally walled off. As you say, at this point I could care less about ROMs but I'd love to be able to be able to tweak things. Xposed Framework is good enough for me.

ROM I don't need. Root, hell yeah! Ad block, tether, full Tasker functionality, uninstall bloat (not just freeze), titanium backup, are just a few that comes to mind.

Well.. i ended up installing DNS66 to adblock and it's working decently.. only thing i really hate on the phone now is all the bloat and the safe volume thing. but can live with it..

I finally got sick of the bloat and rooted it. I used The tutorial from here:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/10/26/universal-android-rooting-procedure-rage-method/
In the tutorial download file I substituted with the new version of the superuser.apk and su from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828
All you need to do is substitute the superuser.apk(system/app) and su(system/bin) the rest of the folders/files are not needed. This method worked 1st try, you just have to be very cautious and type everything exact.
Thought I would share for those that like to do things manually Now on to de-bloating, anyone know of a good list of apps that are safe to remove? So far i just got rid of cityid and infoalarm.apk(daily briefing).

You can tether without rooting with the stock wireless modem app unless you just don't want to use that one. Saving apps to the sdcard won't come until Q1 2011 with the 2.2 update.

Since you are in the Rooting the Mesmerize thread, have you gotten the phone rooted? Next, if so have you gotten Clockworkmod installed correctly? That is in a different thread?

Can my phone get bricked from using z4root?
These phones are hard to brick permanently, i have not used z4root but it seems there has been lots of testing with it and I havnt read of anyone bricking from it.
Yeah yeah i was dumb and whatever, never update when you have root!!!! Warning to newbies!
I googled my problem like 20 times but couldnt quite find any solutions so im asking you guys what to do?
My CWM app says "This version of CWM manager should be used with CF-Root v5.0 or newer. it appears you are running a different kernel. Various features have been disabled."
So i lost superuser abilities after i did an update that was a 8mb file.
What to do? Root it again? or what?

Any ideas on what to do?
i am new to the one s but not to flashing. i am coming from a galaxy s sprint epic. while i was on that, cm10.1 & 10.2 were great advancements to the stock gb which always seems to take forever for updates. but with this huge leap in smartphone power, do i really need to root & flash? even with all the bloatware that i don't use, the phone is very fast. and i can get two days easily from my battery (which i charge every night so that's not an issue). i used to flash just to have the latest but i think i just want functionality. also, i don't put that much on my phone so 16g should be plenty, even with all the bloatware. not that i wouldn't flash to get better use out of my device but i just don't think i need to. please convince my otherwise.

Once youve been rooted, you cant be without root, regardless of ROM.
There are plenty of benefits in rooting even on stock roms.
Infact, a non-rooted device is like a windows PC with only access to your desktop...

i guess i wasn't clear. i know the benefits of root. i've been flashing roms on my last 3 devices. the answers i was trying get were more along the lines of what are the main changes people are making to their stock phones. does all the bloatware inhibit speed or limit space? are there roms or tweeks that people can't live without? or do people unlock, root and flash just because they like to mess with their phones/have the latest even if it doesn't work correctly?

No, it is in General--It's all good--
When I get my Note 2/3 I will probably only root for Nandroids and Titanium BackUp. I think that phone and maybe SGSIV may stand on their own without a need to flash roms. Might be wrong though-- There are still more sweets after Jelly Beans--
Your last question answered your own question. Today's smartphones don't really require root, UNLESS you like tweaking your phone.....which most of us love to do, otherwise we wouldn't be here. You can easily get rid of bloatware with a new launcher. IE: Nova or Apex are my favorites. Just disable and hide them, you'll never see them again. Back in the day people rooted mainly to get the latest OS quicker....these days the newer smartphones already come with the latest OS, so it's all a matter of whether you like tweaking your phone or not. There are still great benefits to rooting, but these days it's more personal preference over flashing the latest OS.
Just my 2 cents.

I can explain it in one word: Control.
I want to be in charge of the device, not letting the device be in charge of me. If you want that you might as well go with apple, who makes good devices with a terrible OS, imo.
Well I will root my htc one s because the latest update to 4.1 is crap. My battery drains so fast. So if I don't find a solution for this I might downgrade back to ics 4.04 or maybe a better custom rom...otherwise I would've kept the rom not rooted. Especialy because now we can disable an app that it is not usefull.

Can't comment on stock but Blackout rom has been good for me.
I root because you can never seem to turn the screen brightness down far enough without root access, that and I don't like being locked out of a file system by manufacturers who don't trust my common sense.
I flash only when a device is older and/or no longer getting updated and something like CM gives me a major improvement.
Even if you want to run a stock ROM, unlocking/rooting (and flashing a custom recovery) enables you to make and restore nandroid backups and use tools like Titanium. It's also makes it easier to repair if you ever run into trouble like boot loops.
I know there is a way to add some options for example Reboot\Reboot Recovery in the power menu like this:

There is an option in developer options to turn on the advanced four way boot menu, don't know if you need to be rooted for it to work or not since I unlock and root my devices the day I get them.
Edit: Never mind what I said, I must of been running a rom that had this enabled, because I just checked my nexus 7 running purity and the option is not there.

Awesome! Thanks for your help guys! I think I'm gonna go ahead and go through with it
I am going to guess that there is going to be very little development for custom roms now or anytime in the future. Things have changed a lot in the last few years and devlopment for custom roms has really fallen by the wayside (there has been some custom rom development, just not very much) (I am not complaining really - just stating a fact.) if you are considering doing this Root thing - I hope for your sake that it will be worth the cost - considering the low amount of development you can expect. Look at the minimal amount of development has happened for Exynos Note 20's - and that rooting option is totally free.

You are not stating a fact, you are stating your opinion and literally worded it as a guess. The custom ROM community depends on the device. Models like OnePlus will always have more development because of their nature, while Samsung and others will have less; however, the little that is available for the Ultra right now is not because custom ROMs are dead lol it's because the phone has been out for like a month. It takes time to do these things.

I downloaded team viewer, and PIA (A vpn) and another program that basically showed the step that the guy was on, they remoted into my computer and put me on the VPN for HK and then idek what they did to get my phone to unlock because they didn't do anything on my screen but my phone was in download mode and then it restarted they told me I was good then I flashed twrp and stock firmware and installed magisk

My guess on the reason for the VPN is because they have an app possibly that can unlock the bootloader but it needs to see that the phone is in HK in order to work otherwise there'd be no reason for the VPN..
