i'm on 532 (root and recovery) and have been for a while. i've looked at a few threads in dev forum and can't find if there's a way to just flash to a newer version or if i have to go the long way round?
or is it just a case of following:

my eyes have gone funny
Yeah, just flash NUT's ROM
hmm, will give it a go this weekend then. cheers.
still waiting on 4G from Three and just realised i don't have an LTE option in mobile networks. think i might be on too old a version
Depends on what ftf you flashed to get 532. If it was [nut]'s one then I think it was based of my ftf so a non lte 6802. [Nut]'s rom is based of a 6833 ftf so will have lte

ah, that would be it then. will try it asap. really need the added upload speed. upped 190GB so far this month and some people around here are reporting 10 fold increase in upload speed
well that went screwy. bootloop. flashed straight to 290 ftf which works and i have LTE but i can't root it. grr
trying to go to 532 again and start from scratch even if i have to use vroot.
Bootloop but everything works? Wut? Is it working or not? Can't you root? Is that the issue?

bootloop on flashing to 290 (NUTs guide) so went to 290 direct to recover but root didn't work.
now went back to 532 but that won't even pickup any cell connection at all.
i'm ready to throw this thing against the wall at the minute.
---------------------
binarys app didn't work for root so got it via vroot again. now to figure out how to get to a newer rom with room that can have working cell data
Ah, i get it.
my IMEI is blank now somehow. hmm
ok, flashed it back to 290, unlocked bootloader again, used the all in 1 tool and now that seems to have stuck.
have a 4g option, root and can download on 3g at the moment. if i can just restore my apps then the last 5 and a bit hours won't have been in vain
Wont have been in vain as you have learnt things...

Xperis's or Xperia S?
If the latter the find the right forum, if not read the stickies in the general section
i would give advice but mine would be more what not to do to not spend 6pm-1pm reflashing your phone cos you kept on doing stupid things
p.s cheers LM, blueether.
will reflash again tonight to try and sort out xposed. won't install for some reason but might be TB related.
either way, all else works so yay!

You need this version of Xposed Framework.
that worked! wth!
thank you but how did that work when i updated within the app to 2.4.1 and installed that with no joy? or was the one in your link a test version or something?
either way, cheers LM

I don't know. The only thing i know is that the one i linked to is a special version for Xperia phones. Why does it exist? I have no idea
cheers
saved me from reflashing tonight
LM, if i might pick your brain once more.
since moving to 290 my battery life has been awful.
i used wakelock detector and in the last 4 hours sonyericsson.android.wakeup woke my phone 4877 times
i found this but one of the notes mentions screwing up the device by editing build prop.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2382680
i'm not averse to editing the prop (had to previously for lcd density) but is there a better way you're aware of to disable this?
I want to root and flash my G3 but I don't know a lot of the lingo. Back when I did it to my s3 it was just a few clicks. Can someone point me to a walk through that doesnt start from the middle?
I am hoping that a new rom will solve my two major problems : the wifi not staying connected to my gopro, and the phone corrupting my gopro video files when the sd card is inserted.

Guess I'm not out of the water yet. I'm rooted and my TWRP is v2.8.0.0. When I searched for a video to show me how to install CM12, it said to make sure I was V2.8.1 or higher. Now I can't find a way to update it. Also the thread for installing CM12 has a DL link for Gapps that is dead because OP retired. So I'm searching for what Gapps to dl.

If you check out droidforums.net, they just posted an article that someone on XDA has created a GAPPS thread that has a TON of different links to everyone's different GAPPS packages.
As for the newest TWRP version, you should be able to check out their web page doing a google search and looking up your device. I am not an owner of a G3 but I'm looking to get one so it could be that the newer versions are only available from developers who have modified it

You're welcome!
Also, you can use TWRP Manager from the Play Store to download and flash the latest TWRP. I've checked and it worked just fine.

Exactly what I would've suggested. I may have seen an article on our front page, or maybe it was a link to DF, if they do that?
I have been searching around for quite a wile, but I havn't been able to find an answer. Perhaps someone from the community could help me.
My Galaxy S4 took the OTA update to VRUGOC1. It was not previously rooted, and I know there is no current way to root this version.
My question is this: Is there any active root development going on for this OTA update, or am I just stuck?

I am also stuck in the same boat with my wife's phone... Wishing she let me root this a year ago... Anyone have thoughts on this?
There is a new version of towelroot in the general section, is not confirmed, but it's there if someone wants to be the first.

I tried v3, with no luck. Is there a never version? Do you happen to have a link to it if there is?

Does not work.
I just want to bump this thread to see if any new information is available
use desktop kingroot. it can root OC1, but remember that you cannot downgrade to any prior to OC1. if you're going to upgrade to OF1, use this guide by muniz
Desktop kingoot works, download latest version from their website;
http://www.kingroot.net/down
Can anyone confirm this actually worked?
I can confirm that Kingroot never worked to root my phone. A ton of ppl here have said it worked on theirs. I've tried just about every way known to get Kingroot to work but it doesn't like my phone. I have tried to download it again and now Google says the site is full of malware and it really does not want me to download from that site.

Just tried to get on there, and the site is afu.
Kingroot for the pc worked and got me rooted. It's not in english so good luck but I got it.
So recently i was successful in rooting my device. Well i have heard of root cloak and i installed it from my xposed installer. Im currently running the Sky Dragon stock rom for 5.1.1. And even though I've installed root cloaker and activated and rebooted my device, i added the Android Pay app to the list. I then force closed or stopped the Android Pay app. So it gives me the error about it not being compatible so why or how is it still detecting my root? Is it cause the custom stock rom?

there's a post in p 11/12 of the CM13 thread where someone used a nexus 5x build.prop, unrooted, rebooted, added android pay, then. Re enabled root, and kept android pay functionality.
I did this too, and it worked for me. Even updated to latest nightly and kept functionality. Good luck.

Do a backup/ nandroid first. I screwed up when I first did this and it was a disaster trying to fix it.
1. download his attached build.prop.
2. Backup yours.
3. Replace your build.prop with his.
4. Disable root/unroot.
5. reboot.
6. Open android pay and add your cards.
7. Re-root/enable root, and enjoy.

Does the phone has to be on CM 13 or will it work on stock root?

if you're stock, I think you just need to disable/un root, set up android pay, then re root. Not positive though, been on cm since the day bump was released, and haven't looked back.

Well see im on a stock based rom called SkyDragon so will it work for that?
It might. Nandroid first, and please report back for anyone else who might be following this.
I have the sky Dragon rom with xsposed installed running the 5.1 or whatever their newest one is for. It didn't work
Hey all, I've been having a lot of fun playing pokemon go but recently the newest version of the game has blocked users who have rooted phones, there's a hack called magisk that will allow the root to be toggled off while the game is being played and then back on when it is not. I am having no luck installing it though.
Has anyone else tried and succeeded to run this mod?
I'm running OL1 (5.1.1), stock rom.
Thanks!

I'm running it now. Although I've read that it can be done without doing a full Factory Reset, per the instructions, I wasn't able to make it work. There's a tutorial from Android Police that explains everything and provides links to the various files needed. Google search "magisk Pokemon go". You'll see the link. It's not too complicated of a process but make sure you have everything backed up.

I also have had no luck installing it. I have a sm-g900h on marshallow 6.0.1 and I've tried 5 times on doing it, but it still won't work. I've looked for a week for different drivers and archives to do it but I can't find any that work.
I'd really like help because I'm a total newbie in this and I don't know what to do or if I'm doing something wrong.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong because all that sounded pretty much like everything else. I've tried nearly every combination of flashing files, unrooting, leaving root. When I unroot I cannot boot to the OS, I was able to play the newer version when I unrooted but I don't think I'm going to do that. Guess I'll just play the old one as long as I can before the force the update and then maybe stop playing :-/

Yeah, I considered upgrading to Marshmallow because I've seen videos of it working for an S7 edge running Marshmallow and thought that Magisk may have had better support with 6.0. I really hope I don't need to get an S7 to get the game to work while rooted...The S5 is still a much better featured phone IMHO and I'm going to use it until it doesn't work anymore because it's so rock solid.
I already solved the problem I had installing it.
Turns out I was replacing the compatible version of super su that comes in the .zip without noticing.
It was all because I didn't read the instructions provided and let TWRP install the super su before rebooting.
I just didn't let TRWP install super su and it worked like a charm.

And this is on Marshmallow or Lollipop? I'm going to try updating to MM and then trying the magisk stuff again, maybe that's the key.
