Does anyone know which custom rom works with Android Pay? I'm currently running sky dragon and I keep getting device not compatible when I try to add a card and I even have tried unrooting then doing it but still same result. I'm s-off and unlocked bootloader.

Hi,
I have a rooted MB860 with 4.5.141. I got a popup for upgrade to 4.5.145. Can I install the update with my phone being rooted?
Pls clarify.
Yes you can install on a rooted phone. Now does anybody have root for this?
I was rooted but not unlocked with version 4.5.141. I let the update do it's thing yesterday and all went well except I lost root, which was expected but now I am lurking/stalking the board looking for info on how to re-root.
2/23/13: I was able to re-root using the same pre install method I used to root 4.5.141. Now should I wait for a reliable BL unlock method or trade it for a comparable Samsung model? It just fits in my hand so perfectly that I haven't been able to give up on it even though my primary phone is now an SGS Note 2 (SGH I317)
i guess i cant update the phone with a custom bootloader? i downloaded the update and tried it, but i have TWRP installed as my custom bootloader. so how can i get 5.0 i was wondeirng and is it still rootable? do i need to revert my doing's? i just got the phone wanted to root to get rid of junk software wasnt gonna do update i like sense 6's layout. so, was wondering what i need to do :\

Post a fastboot getvar all except for imei and serialno.
I have tried all kinds of ways to unlock/root this phone. I have rooted 6 HTC phones and in order to get my tasker profile and games and stuff I need my titanium backup. Any suggestions?

Currently, there are no known ways to root any variant of the G5. Most have a locked bootloader, and the only one that is unlocked (T-Mobile), has a secondary lock that prevents the flashing of a custom recovery or rooting. On top of that, Android 6.0/Marshmallow requires a modified kernel to achieve root (i.e. need to flash a custom boot image), so a System-based root no longer works either.
How do you test for the dm verify bit? I should get my unlocked unbranded UK retail unit on Friday so can check if the h850 is any different.
Hi everyone, I've just got a G-900T running 5.1.1 yesterday. This phone is unlocked, but I am not sure what method did the former user use to unlock. I want to install another ROM (maybe 6.0.1 firmware or other custom ROM), but I am afraid that it will be carrier-locked again, can anyone confirm this for me? Thanks for the help.
To be locked again, you'll have to lock it from developer options, which is not available on AOSP ROMs, and hidden from Stock-based ones. You may consider yourself safe.
There are two types of locking - 1) carrier, and 2) Boot loader. To flash a custom ROM, the boot loader has to be unlocked. That would have been the case if it had a custom ROM installed when you bought it. But if it has a stock ROM, you will have to check the security lock level (About Device) to confirm that the security level is low enough to allow unlocking the boot loader. Otherwise, you may brick your phone.

I have tried for multiple hours to get fastboot and ADB to work with my S6 Edge but it is not working. I suspect I might need to try older Samsung drivers (I only tried the latest ones as far as I remember). I wanted these tools in order to check if my bootloader was unlocked so that I wouldn't brick my device if I tried to install a custom ROM and TWRP. Anyway I followed a video and installed TWRP on my phone and installed Lineage OS Android 10 without checking the bootloader since the guy in the video did not mention doing so and still installed the custom ROM and TWRP. It is working fine. I know it is most likely that since this was possible, the bootloader should probably be unlocked but I just wanted to confirm with more experienced smartphone modders if this is indeed the case. Is it then safe to root my phone without checking bootloader?
Sub-question: If a person were to theoretically attmept to install custom ROM or TWRP or root the phone while the bootloader is locked, would that result in the root failing but the device still being usable or would the attempt result in the device being bricked? IE if the bootloader is locked is it dangerous to attempt to flash software to the phone or will it result in a harmless "failed" message, etc.?
Thank you.
