Can I fix the night clock and keep root? - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, I've seen posted several times now that the latest update fixes the night clock and brightness issues. Unfortunately the latest update will also remove root without any way to regain it. Is there any way to fix the night clock and brightness issues without loosing root?

You have to flash kernel again.

I should have mentioned I'm on AT&T with the G925A. What Kernel do I need to flash? Can you post a link?

I thought you had a G925F. I don't think it's the same kernel.

Force closing and rotating problems?

I'm having a few problems since rooting my i777. It randomly shuts down while I'm not using it, I think it's the messaging app causing this. I also can no longer get the phone to rotate into landscape mode for anything :/
Anyone know what might be going on?
Did you install any ROMs or just a simple root? Also, there's a setting that can disable rotation so check and see if that's enabled. I have no idea where it is on stock, considering I used it for a good day before I installed a custom ROM. Anyway, if you're still having persistent issues, I suggest just going to SHOstock ROM as it's very very close to stock but it's unbloated and performs better with better battery life.
I did install a custom ROM but I can't for the life of me remember which one it was, I went through some trouble because I was accidentally trying to install i727 stuff, so I just installed an i777 ROM someone linked me.
All settings are set to allow it to rotate. I'll try out SHOstock. Is it a ROM file I install from Clockwork Recovery Mode?

LockScreen Weather missing! :crying:

Hello, I'm coming along with a wierd problem, I own a SII and flashed a couple roms, now I can't get weather on lockscreen or even change the position of time.
I've done everyting (fixing permissons, restoring stock firmware, flashing another ROMs and nothing works!
Does anyone know what's going on?
Please Help!
I don't think every rom has a lockscreen weather feature.
Or maybe it's just turned off.

[Q] Wifi won't toggle on?

Hello. So I've had my Galaxy S4 for two days now, rooted it fine day one but am now having an issue. My Wifi toggle worked fine up until about 3 hours ago, now when I try to enable wifi, the toggle blinks green slightly for about half a second, then just shuts off again. Has anyone else had a similar issue? I am not on any custom ROM and am on the stock kernel.

Probably not super useful to you, but I had this happen to me out of nowhere on a custom ROM, and the only thing I could manage to do to get it working properly again was to re-flash my ROM. There's not much else you're able to modify while using the phone to try and get it working.
What version stock rom or you on? And the baseband? did you do an update?
That is a kernel issue. Flash a different verizon loki kernel.

I've attached an image of my current versions, I haven't done anything besides root it with Odin. My issue is that I cannot flash certain kernels because I need an official samsung kernel to use. I have to keep my flash counter at 0 with TriangleAway in order to use Screen Mirroring.

NFC won't switch on

Hey everyone, so my NFC used to work fine all the time, but I think it was since I have rooted my phone and upgraded to MM it will no longer activate. I switch it on in the settings menu or through the quick settings tile but it switches straight back off, and the NFC tests fail.
I'm thinking it might be a firmware problem or some problem from flashing, but I have terrible Internet at the moment and was hoping somebody might have an idea how to fix it without factory resetting etc..
I initially gained root on lollipop and created my own pre-rooted zip to update to MM, but I did have to use the bootloop fix. I have just upgraded again from 575 to 291 with my own pre-rooted zip hoping that might fix it, but same problem and I had to use bootloop fix again.. Any ideas what I might be able to do to fix it? thanks in advance!

Exynos S9+ freezes on lock screen, soft reset required to fix.

After rooting my s9+ with the modified Magisk, my phone sometimes becomes unresponsive. I cannot identify any sort of trigger for this to happen, it just does. The AOD displays but does not update. The notification LED still blinks, but when I go to unlock the phone it freezes and I am forced to soft reset it. I am root with Magisk and have TWRP installed. I followed Max Lee's tutorial on how to root the S9+. Any ideas on why this is happening and how to fix it?
Hey, Did you have any luck with this, i am having the exact same issue?
having the same problem i followed Max Lee video and everything work fine until the phone started freezing
same issue on the G960F/DS....
wonder who can help us regarding with this issue.
For everyone having this freezing after rooting...attention to detail is absolute paramount, go back and re-read the twrp thread by jesec. For those (possibly those having freezing issues) who find that challenging, here is a snippet of jesec exact words..." Samsung implemented security measures such as "Real-time Kernel Protection (RKP)" and "RKP Control Flow Protection".
Those security measures are intended to block control flows such as privilege escalation, memory kernel code modification, etc which are not authorized by Samsung.
If those are not disabled, processes (such as daemon of root solutions) that violated those security rules will fall into deadlock.
Deadlocked processes will then consume large amount of resources (leads to performance issues, battery drains) and eventually crash the system.
Technically it is possible to disable those security measures by hex editing stock kernel but just simply flash a custom kernel is better in my opinion.
TL;DR: Flash custom kernel before root or be screwed.
To reiterate...flash a custom kernel before root or be SCREWED
I'm not saying this is 100% u guys issue, but seems kinda likely?
can someone post links or steps on how to fix this freezing lock screen issue, i tried reading the threads but did not find anything, thanks
I was facing the exact same issue after using his tutorial.
I've tested SOD Killer from the Playstore so far it's working fine! No freezes anymore .
Installing a custom kernel like elementalX should also work.

Can we flash this Elementalx over the N965F_Root_for_OEM_issue_devices/Magisk we already installed ?
I already installed the TWRP, No-verity opt encrypt and the N965F_Root_for_OEM_issue_devices package on my friend's 960F.
I would be really greatful if anyone could help me with this.
I had the same issue after having troubles initially getting Lineage flashed and working on my S9.
I removed Magisk, reset and it still was freezing after a lock.
I reflashed Lineage through TWRP and now all seems to be back to normal with no freeze after lock.
Possibly try the steps I did and see if they worked out for you.
hey guys, you solved the issue?
i experience same Problem..
Any one notice , this issue occurs after we apply lock screen password or biometric security. in my device i notice, when i apply lockscreen password or biometric lock my phone freeze. after i remove all lock and set default to swipe...its not freezing. anyone sees that
I solved the same issue (1 hour ago, so I hope it's fixed now) installing first:
ElementalX Kernel
and than installing:
G965_Root_for_OEM_issue_devices_V5 (the lastest available right now)
Following the instruction on the XDA Thread
Hope this can be helpfull to solve it
Its because of dm verity issues...i assume that you rooted the phone over an odin flashable stock rom. To fix this try installing either a patched stock kernel from Soldiers website or other custom kernels if you consider doing over(under)clocking.

What is the different in Soldie between Patched Kernel and ELS custom kernel?
