Because!! It is enough to read forum. (I do not comment 'hints' from @Frezi Evan who do not understand even what people are asking...)
You were violating producer's rules making root and you are void your warranty. Now you expect so you will have official OTA? Look in settings what is the status of your phone! It is NOT official so you can not count on official upgrades.

You on stock rom and not rooted and when you try to update software that popup come out.is that what you mean?..
Go to settings-application manager-all apps and find 'SysScope'..
Clear Cache and reboot..that should fix it.

As I can see you solve problem all by yourself . Yes, if you are on custom then you can not take OTA. Deactivating root probably will be not enough, but you can try. If not work - then you will have to flash anew stock ROM by Odin and in this manner you will have system like new - this means all your user data will be deleted - make backup of your apps.
But in my opinion there is little need to worry about upgrades until it KitKat (that menas Android 4.4) arrive. Now Mega has Android 4.2 and every new upgrade brings very little besides new means of security (like KNOX).
So let stay like that a while and wait for major uprade to KK. And if so, let consider to flash MegaFire v8 ROM from @megalomanic14

Those two roms are for the mega 6.3 only and will not work on the mega 5.8 as you have to go by the codename for each device and this codename will be in the title of the rom.
Mega 6.3 uses the codename "melius"
Mega 5.8 uses the codename "crater"
So make sure you see one of these codenames in the rom title or on the end of title..were ever they put it as this determines the device it can be flashed on and what model will also be shown in the title.

Hey guys so basically the thread title says it all. I need a few testers who have the Canadian variant sgh-i527m who can test a rom base for me. What I need is confirmation that everything works on the base ie Bluetooth, data, WiFi, NFC,etc. Once deemed a stable base I can work on making the magic happen of adding cool features.
Of course the standard risks apply: you are responsible for anything you flash or that happens as a result. As always please make a nandroid backup before flashing and ensure you are using the latest, stable recovery
At this point the ROM is rooted, deodexed, zipaligned all apks and Knox free

Hello,
I'm testing it on a i9205....
I installed it over a 4.2.2 bootloader as I never installed KK. So it looks like KK is installing over 4.2.2 Mega fire bootloader
.
I'm finishing up to setup all my account and let you know. So far its working well, the first run Wizard even detect my country "France", it did not before in 4.2.
I ll keep you posted but so far looking good.
Thanks
see screenshot attached
Just a small adjustement, on the i9205 the wifi is not turning on... I dont know why, a driver issue maybe. I will try replace wifi firmware and modules if I can.
Also when I go to ->Setting->security it says setting has stopped. then the phone is rebooting

OK thanks for the feedback. If you're still on the ROM can you run a lotcat and try wifi and also go back to settings security. And then send me the logcat. If you send me it with those issues recreated I should be able to see what the problem is

Sorry I cant, I had to go back to Mega Fire rom as I had no Wifi and cannot install Titanium to restore everything (As I cannot access security options) I had to revert to 4.2.2.
I also tried to modified your zip with a i9205 boot.img and all the System files into your zip from another 4.4.2 i9205, and I had the same issue. I'm starting to wonder if I dont have a radio issue compatibilty or my bootloader 4.2 is messing with some feature (like android finding knox is not on the bootloader). If you have any idea, I dont mind trying again but so far I would like to preserve my bootloader as my phone still under warranty.

At this point my best guess is boot loader but who knows. Hopefully I can get more user feedback and i257m feedback most importantly. Thanks for your time

I ve tried another rom 4.4.2 as a zip file and same issues. I revert it back to MF V11X and it works as normal.
I'm wondering if those issues are related to the bootloader (like for Param-Security) phone is looking for knox info and cannot find them.
reply:
Anyway for now my bootloader still in 4.2
I never checked wifi (I barely use wifi as is) System settings kept force closing on me and the ROM overall was a bit laggy (compared to MegaFire - probably not a fair comparison though - lol). My phone did keep rebooting every time I went into certain system settings to make changes (I don't remember which ones at this point). To be honest, I was just trying to see if I could flash it onto my phone. I had no intent to fully test the ROM for stability. Mega's ROMs are rock steady stable so I was just trying that 4.4.2 ROM while waiting for Mega to finish and post MegaKat.

Hi,
I just test the megakat rom from megafire, with the newbootloader and its all working. I can confirm wifi and setting issue were due to the bootloader
You should take a look at megakat op and rom, u will work with a almost bug free rom

No it doesnt, but the M does have a recovery and is able to flash any of Sileshnair's roms.
It is not an ATT device.

OK, here are a few thoughts that can help you....
1. Are you aware of Knox? If yes, then good. Because installing custom recovery on your device will trip the Knox security fuse on your shiny new phone. If no, please read the thread entitled something along the lines of "survey for those who tripped Knox," and the thread devoted to rooting and not tripping Knox.
2. What is your software version? Please show your about phone screen (settings, general, about device). If you're not on the latest firmware, we'll get you there.
3. Your general trajectory of things once on the latest firmware version NC5 and you're OK with tripping Knox, which your question implies, should be...
-->Install recovery (TWRP or PhilZ CWM), latest versions can be found in the original development forum and Android development forum, respectively. Both are outstanding, none is best, neither is cross-compatible. Pick your poison.
-->Install a pre-rooted rom or just root your phone.
-->Have a blast
In closing, I highly recommend choosing a TouchWiz based rom before you flash any AOSP based variant, mostly because these will give you the closest to familiar feel without losing features.
There is no best except that which you like most.
Please report back with the info requested herein and we can block and tackle this, with the incredible resources hewn and stored here on xda.
No reason to depart from these fine forums to do that which is rightly done and freely available only here.

I would suggest as micmars has said you do a little reading on KNOX first. Then to get your feet wet, if you decide to go ahead and root your device. I would go with rooting the stock rom in your phone first, then add a custom recovery ( TWRP or PHILZ CWM ) . I run PHILZ CWM works great and its easy to use. Now once its rooted you can disable KNOX and remove the extra apps that you are not using that clog up the operating system ( OS ) of you device. This is called BLOATWARE go to this XDA site to get lists of safe to remove apps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2770729 . Once you have done that now make a backup of your slimmed down De-Bloated OS. Now your ready to go and start installing custom roms, and if doesn't work out you can always recover your backup and get back to square one. Then try a another rom till you find one you like !!! :fingers-crossed:

OK so is it not recommended to use the all in one than and what is the latest version on these devices. Are there the same recurring issues with these as the n2 where once you update to the latest version bootloader you can't go back I.e. on n2 you couldn't downgrade to mk4 once you booted into the ne2 bootloader

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.
Sent from my SM-N915P using Tapatalk
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?

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 am planning to flash a custom rom, I was wondering if this would change my current andriod version which is Lollipop 5.0? Just got curious. Thanks!

Hello sorry to bother you guys I'm absolutely new at all of this but I love these kind of things I think it's very interesting. Anyhow I recently rooted my 4.4.4kitkat Samsung
Galaxy E7 SM-E700M my carrier is At&T Mexico was Nextel but they sold to At&T. The reason I rooted my phone was because I wanted to upgrade to the marshmello 6. Something don't recall I don't know anything about custom Rom or about recovery or flashing can anyone please tell me how I can upgrade to marshmello free without having to join some kind of phone club that charges you for the firmware download. And can you please tell me exactly what recovery is recommended to use for my E7. I installed rom Manager pro on my phone and super su,
Titanium back up pro busybox but don't know how to use any of it just know it's required for an update. On rom manager it asks me what recovery do I want to use clockwaremod or trpwin recovery or something like that I don't know what to put can anyone send me the links and sources for the upgrade and tools needed also step by step how to upgrade to marshmello please. One last Question I seen on a list of upgrades they received a lollipop upgrade ota or via custom rom in Brazil for E7 my phone does the country matter? I mean can I use an update from another country? Well I'm positive you pros know what your doing and will send me all the correct info for my phone upgrade by the way I can't use ota upgrade since I rooted? Don't know how. Thanks everyone for your time and patience
