Samsung has Released Android 5.1.1 Lollipop For the Galaxy Noted Edge "Sprint variant"
THIS WILL ONLY WORK WITH "NOTE EDGE FOR SPRINT"
How To Install:
1. Download the stock 5.1.1 firmware from here: https://mega.nz/#!StEHUJpS!5D20VK0KeW3fk383Q1LJoQ5zyqES6ta1xiwH3jaRBmU
2. And Okay... hmmm I'm pretty sure all of you know how to flash a stock rom using odin
Why not screenshots??
Because I don't own a Note Edge Unfortunately
There isn't much of a visual change from 5.0 really... Except for the contacts app.

But it will fix a lot of bad flashes
Amen brother like my bad flash lol
Same rooting method once installed?
No
Would i have any problems if i odin this on a rooted Edge? I dont care abot root anymore since no one is supporting the sprint edge anyways.
Just odin over 5.0 or do i have to odin factory k.k than odin lollipop and than this ? TIA.
Odin over then wipe in Stock recovery
killer! I luvs it - finally getting that annoying default text tone - never sounded so good!
So has anyone found a way to root this file yet?
can wait for a rooted one, we really dont have many devs though, sucks cause this phone rocks
So whats different between 5.0.1 and this, is it worth me losing root and hoping to get it back in the future
Any word on whether this can be rooted?
CF Auto Root worked for 5.0.1. I wonder if it will work for 5.1.1. I'm tempted to try it....

Well, I don't need to try it, I found that it cannot be done because Samsung added root protection to the kernel. This post and related thread is from Note 4, which I'm sure is the same situation for the Edge:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62167223&postcount=15
5.1.1 kills cf-auto root... It did the same with the note edge.. Kernel exploit is the only way to root..

Now, @freeza has released a kernel for the Sprint Note 4 910P to allow root. If enough of us Edge owners can contact, beg, and donate [hint] to him, I'll be he would be willing to provide us with a modified kernel to allow us root.......

Did the same. I'd like to see the improvements that 5.1.1 has to offer, but I really don't want to lose root.

I wanted to ask if you will be able to get this new update working with freezas kernel and even once that is up if the new one covering stagefright will put is right back into this same stuck place?
(Just wondering if i am going to have to give up root on this phone at this point?)

I am confident that we will achieve root. That is not the issue for me. I am waiting around for Xposed to support TW 5.1.1. Until then, I will use other methods to mitigate Stagefright. With ongoing security patches, I'd imagine that there will be plenty of people who can take the upldate.zip and repackage it to be flahable via custom recovery.

I'm not happy with this releases installed software and would like to root my Verizon Note II. It's on 4.4.2 ND7. Also will I be able to unlock my bootloader so I can install CWM or TWRP and install custom roms? Thank you.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Free mobile app
You dont... no root method available right now. Even if there were root. There's no unlock method for bootloader after 4.3. You are stuck with what verizon has given you for now, possibly forever.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Free mobile app
I see. That really sucks.
There's a rom out there that's a rooted 4.4.2 ND7. Would I be able to flash this with Odin to gain root without causing any issues to the bootloader?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Free mobile app
No. That's for people who never took the 4.3 update and got to unlock their bootloader. If your running mj9 or nd7 your stuck there.

Ok thank you. Guess I'll wait and see if Verizon has a change of heart. Doubtful.

Another Question
Anyone care to verify that this is legit and works to root the Verizon Note II 4.4.2? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBP1Ql7wck4 . I see that there is the ability to download the root file for the VZW Note II on 4.4.2. I will do some more research. If anyone tries it please report your findings. Thanks.
My guess is no. Anything you find on rooting or flashing recovery is highly unlikely to work on the vzw note 2. Thanks for nothing, verizon.

I'm in the same situation, and I'd just like to rattle the bars of this jail cell VZW has put us Note II 4.4.2 OTA folks in. The SD card write lock is a ridiculous overreach in the name of "security."
I hear that. I don't know about anyone else's phone but after I updated to ND7 my phones been buggy. Fails on sending texts and general locking up. I've factory reset it twice and have 2.7gb available on the internal storage. Come on somebody!
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Free mobile app
In the same boat here. Bought used, already updated. I didn't think there was an [upper class] Android device right now that couldn't be modified, so I didn't know to research first... I just came to the threads right before buying and saw the dev was booming so figured I was good.
Did VZ drop the ball here or are all carriers having this issues with the Note 2?
Root unavailable?
So basically I can't root the phone? I want to be able to use some apps that require root, is there a way to root without messing with the bootloader or not? Mobilodin maybe? I also have that 4.4.2 OTA nightmare. Thanks
There is no root.

There is root now... At least, it works for me. I modified [source code based on] towelroot, fixed a few things for our phone, and called it GhettoRoot. No one has tested it except me.
Feel free to try it, usual warnings apply... Check my thread in the General forum. I can't link anything or post in the development forums.

Its out now. Works like a charm. Just used it. I don't even have a carrier anymore. My note 2 is just an expensive skype phone, and I plan to redesign the looks of this rom.

Boo-tloader
Anyone devised a way to unlock this god forsaken bootloader? Verizon has overstepped their bounds imho. No 3rd party write access to sd? That's just ridiculous. Also, cyanogenmod would be great, but safestrap doesn't work now. Anyone have anything in the works? I would be willing to test anything available. I'm running I605VRUFND7 on the KOT49H kernel, and have plenty of experience with Odin, so no worries over bricking at the moment. Also, there is still a bounty out for anyone that can unlock it. Not so much a fortune, but imagine the fame? Thanks in advance.

The above link was some troubleshooting I went through to get root on my Galaxy Note 2 i605 w/ ND7 4.4.2. I was hoping to get TWRP or CWM on it but all attempts have failed. From what i'm gather it just not possible at this time.
Has anyone found away to unlock the bootloader so we can load recovery and put on custom ROMs???
please say yes!!!
I'm currently running the US Cellular version of the maga. I upgraded to KitKat over the air and now I'm looking for a rooting software that will root the phone now that it is running KitKat. Does anyone have a file to use or can you point me in the correct direction

Nothing.
I have the same phone and I have read everything about it. Nothing works for this phone I have tried every root option there is none of them work. I am waiting for geohot to update towelroot with a fix. Mine was updated to kit kat out of the box. I wish I had the chance to stick with 4.2.2 that was at least rootable.
Well just makes me dislike Samsung even more. That and damn knox.

Im rooted got it
I am currently running a G900A (AT&T branded galaxy S5 with locked bootloader) i am in the process of buying a used S5 but not sure if the bootloader is locked. Here is the phone info that the guy provided to me.
Sm-g900f , g900fxxu1anc9 , 4.4.2
Like i said I'm on AT&T S5 so i am not familiar with the F models and i know T Mobile is the T models but didn't know if anyone knows anything about these phones cause I'm wanting to flash some T Mobile roms. Any info would be much appreciated.
Is it rootable through towel root? Can i use TWRP or CWM with this device. It is carrier unlocked and he is using it on T mobile (gsm) so I'm guessing it will work on AT&T since they uses GSM as well. Thanks for any help.
That's the international version. So should be fine. I'm not sure about lte bands.. U will have to check that info out. The phone should work fine though.
The g900f is probably the most desired s5.. As its not carrier branded.
If I had to choose one I'd get either it or the g900t (T-Mobile)

Ok thanks. I got lucky and found it for $200. The only thing that worries me is that since it's not carrier branded can they report it stolen in any way after i buy it and have the IMEI blacklisted. Normally I'd just meet at the phones carrier store and have everything documented but not sure how to go about it without it being carrier locked.
I'm not sure about that. You can ask for the imei number and check it on swappa.com
If it comes back clean that may alleviate some of your worries

Well i finally found me a G900T. Gonna pick it up around 5 today. Can't wait to see what version is on it so i can get it rooted and find me a good rom to go along with it. Any recommendations?
Muniz stock rooted and debloat a bit if you want stock touchwiz. Or.. If you want more plain android, aosp, try cm12.1 currently in nightly stages but I think its stable enough for daily driver.
Some ppl like twisted Lolipop....

Ok i got the phone, so now onto rooting. Do i need to take it down to 442 to root it can i root straight from 5.0 thanks for the help getting me started
U can root from there.
Find a guide. Make sure you use proper files. (Measure twice cut once)
Do not update to of6 threw normal ota updates or flash the factory of6 firmware as it can't be downgraded I think. If you want to goto the latest which is of6 follow muniz guide
Take your time make no mistakes.
I would recommend installing a custom recovery. Twrp. After that you can easily move back and forth to whatever roms you want, trying different ones.

The sickness did a thread under general where he explains how to root 5.0. It's using chainfire's root method for 4.4.2. Which also works for 5.0. That's the method I used to root my 900T a few days ago. You flash it in odin.

Yea i found it thanks for the info though. I've got it rooted and twrp installed. Downloading lolliozop right now. I've been wanting to try that one. I'll get the sim unlock code tomorrow from T mobile and should be up and running then.
Well i ran lolliozop for a few days but couldn't figure out a lot of the color issues with the black on black and white on white etc. Great looking rom but i just couldn't figure it out. I'm back on TMS 3.0 now and love it. I'm running the KT kernel but still haven't figured out what to change or a good setting for it. Anyone else running this kernel and could give a little advice on how to set it would be greatly appreciated.

my phone did the dumb update will i be able to still flash these ?
this is that dumb update in full ROM form. these files are used mainly to go back to stock after we hopefully achieve root. or if you brick, this is the files to restore your device to that out the box state.
strange but I've always been one of those hardcore AOSP types, but with my Note 7 I only want root for a few select apps. TouchWiz is not that bad compared to Galaxy S 2 days.

lol figured it would, to many things in place by samsung to allow. plus this update that just came, i think patched 4 CVS related to Qualcomm chip and root. even if we get a basic root, we are still far from custom ROMs, need bootloader for that.
Does anyone know if this firmware can be flashed on other variants such as the Verizon N930v? Similar to the GS7/S7Edge? (I'm running factory PF2 AT&T firmware on my Verizon S7 at the moment.. flashed flawlessly without root.. I want to do the same thing but with the Note 7, since I can get Verizon devices at 2yr pricing on my business account instead of monthly payments on AT&T)
Also, is flashing the PIT file required for flashing the rest?

I achieved this on my S7 without root by flashing the G930U (unlocked model) firmware, as it didn't have mobile tethering restrictions. Once/if the U firmware is available for the Note 7, you could probably do the same.. pending on if all devices can receive the firmware from other models. (Which I asked on this thread a few minutes ago)..

No you don't have root. You can use Samsung Side Sync on your PC to enable tethering however. It requires the phone to be plugged into your computer/laptop though. No wireless hotspot unfortunately.

sorry for such a simple question but I need expert and/or experienced advise.
I have a samsung galaxy S4 AT&T I337 Ver 5.0.1 firmware OK2.
Out of contract
I want to rid myself of the bloatware, my principal objective.
I worry about not getting security updates once rooted, (even though at&t is not quick about doing updates anyway). Do I just track the forums here to look for updates? Will i have to go back to kitkat for every update?
And second I have a mac air computer, so odin may not be easily done without ready access to a pc., and maybe not at all. I understand I have to odin back to 4.4.4 and then update with a rooted rom. I haven't found recent experiences using jodin on this particular device, and the jodin posts I found indicate it doesn't flash a large file. I don't know if I would be doing that or not.
Thanks for your all's opinion.
