hope u can find the right solution i have see others users of OPX got same problem as mine

The issue I'm having seems to be more related to lollipop rather than the OPX,
But wherever i plug in an otg flash drive ,3rd party file managers just can't copy files to it, the stock one does, but it does a shoddy job of it, the screen to grant these 3rd party file managers write access to the otg drive doesnt come up (like it did with the SD card)
Am using File Manager HD
Any inputs?

Use Xplore.. Works flawlessly for me

Running full stock for now, will root eventually, which module is it?

Would it be better to flash 2.2.0 rooted full stock in one go rather than first unrooting flashing stock rom ..then flashkn super su ..blu spark etc

1st question: If i unlock the bootloader will my warranty will by still valid ?
2nd question: Is it possible to lock bootloader ?
3rd question: As i read before, we don't have a full rom to flash it via pc right (so we can avoid backing up our rom after every update and so on) ? So, so far we have only updates which can be downloaded from here ?: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/general/rom-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-rom-ota-t3301797)
4th question: When something will go wrong with my phone (for ex. broken button), can i just boot into TWRP recovery (via adb or by flashed TWRP), restore my stock unrooted rom and send it on warranty ? Will it restore also to stock recovery if i flashed TWRP before ? Do i need to do something more like locking again bootloader (question 1st ) ?
I would be very greatfull if someone would answer my questions I just want to be confident what im doing with my new phone

Lack of "app options" button functionality
I met lack of "app options" functionality in OnePlus X (E1003, OxygenOS 2.2). Stock firmware does not provide setting up such option as action for buttons events.
There many apps designed considering that the device has such as "app options" button.
1) How to assign "app options" functionality as an action for event of a hardware button?
2) How to set "3 dot option botton" visual as default for all apps?

The YouTube lag/stutter should be fixed already? Am I the only one which still experiences sometimes stuttering at the beginning of YouTube videos?

1)The app options functionality is automatically assigned on the recents menu button(hold the recents menu button and the settings for the opened app should appear). In settings>buttons it doesn't show anything selected for long press recents menu button but the functionality is already assigned.
2)I haven't seen such a setting in OOS but you don't need it (any app does have a menu button or something, and also that long press trick will assure you always can access the settings)

1) Yes your warranty is still valid.
2) I think you can relock your bootloader. But since unlocking doesn't void warranty there's no reason for re-lock.
3) We do have full stock ROMs. There are some links to stock firmware on oneplus forum, flashing them(from TWRP) will give you the stock rom and recovery.
4) If your button brokes you may still be able to reach TWRP and flash stock ROM. But flashing the stock ROM may not be obligatory, but indeed preferred if it's possible.

can anyone port color os
anyone intersted to port color os to this device , if any please tell me ....

Thanx for advice. In case I've already assigned "No action" for a long press recent button. What should I do in order to return 'app options' for a long press press recent button event?
I've tryed to do factory reset & to reload firmware (OnePlusOxygen_14_OTA_008_all_201601221550) but action for a long press press recent still was set.

What you did should work. But try again by following my steps.
Download the full zip of OOS 2.2.0, then go to TWRP wipe>advanced wipe and wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, system, and flash the OOS 2.2.0 zip.
Attention! This will return you to the stock ROM (no supersu, just clean ROM). But it will reset anything including any custom assignment to hardware buttons.
Usually there at buttons settings it will say what action is assigned, but 'app settings' it's not listed so that's why for long press of recents button it will display no assignment.
Here you can find the full OOS 2.2.0 zip(also other versions too).

So I rooted my one plus x then unrooted using supersu inbuilt unroot... can't seem to update my phone after that... any help would be appreciated

What do you mean with "can't seem to update my phone after that" ? You don't get the OTA notification?
Try by downloading the OTA update zip and flash it manually. All firmware zips(full ROM and OTAs can be found here)
On which version of OOS are you now?

Should ADB work in download mode? Because i get ''device not found'' message when in download mode. It works when booted though..

Okay..
After a long testing and debugging session with AbduL_PT
This Guy is the only one who can make TWRP work with Rockhip devices. Check his thread and give him some BEER. He Deserve it!:good:
We finally come up with TWRP for our device!!! :victory:
DISCLAIMER: Rooting any Android device or installing a custom ROM firmware will void the warranty of the device and might only be restored by flashing the phone back to stock firmware and uninstalling custom recoveries and such.
I take no responsibility for any malfunctioning or any wrong doing happening to your device(s) by you following this guide. Proceed at your own risk!
Instructions.
Please make sure that you are familiar with RKtools and installing driver from device manager before you proceed on this
For fast booting to flash mode and recovery mode. Please install this app. ROOT required
Bootloader = Press Power + volume (nearest to the powerbutton) for 5 seconds or until Windows detect new device
Recovery = Press power + both volume buttons. One logo show up release power button and keep pressing volume buttons
1. Dowload the zip file to this LINK
includes
RKtool
stock and TWRP recovery
RK29adbdrivers
2. Unzip it and run update
3. Plugin your tablet to you PC .
4. Launch reboot app and choose "Bootloader" or turn off your device do and it manually with buttons
3. Windows will look for drivers and install driver like this guide using the driver I provided
4. Once RKtools detect your device (ii will show Found RKAndroid Loader Rock Usb). hit the "RUN" button and dont press anything else until your device reboot
5. launch reboot app and choose "Recovery" or turn off your device do and it manually with buttons
ENJOY
If you want to go back to stock recovery
launch RKTOOLS again and choose "recovery-stock" image from Recovery folder
I was able to do FULL NANDROID BACKUP and RESTORE successfully using this recovery
Since our device use /data/share as Internal SD card, we have manage the following (credits joe.stone)
Fixed Internal SD handling , now it is correctly /data/share not data/media .
Fixed wipe of Data . Now it does not removes the content of internal SD.
BUGS
1. Data nandroid backup the whole /data partition (includes /data/share which is Internal SD card)
2. Internal SD nandroid back up /data partition as well
3. Default Storage is internal SDcard (it can change to External SD on Mount Menu)
4. If FORMAT Data is chosen on Wipe Menu, reboot to recovery is required
5. For wiping Cust partition, put a tick on "Use rm -rf" on Settings
Credits:
Freaktab.com for all rockchip needs!
joe.stone for allowing us to use his source and provide some changes
and ofcourse..
AbduL_PT and for this TWRP thread for everything... Again this Guy deserves a Thanks and a BEER! LOL!
If you appreciate it , Give those Guys a THANKS and Click that THANKS button below ( dont be so ungrateful [email protected][email protected]#($! )
Reserved
Tried today your beta on my Huawei Mediapad 7 Lite (S7-931u) and seems to me, it is working just fine!
I can only say, great job guys! :good:
Had same issues with Cust partition like in BUGS section of you introduction post, but in the end recovery went OK.
Tried compressing backup and restore and it works.
Didn't try Install option of the recovery, cause i don't know any custom ROMs existing for this tablet, and didn't try Mount option cause don't know what to test.
One minor thing/bug I noticed (if it is even important), when recovery is done and press reboot my tablets screen flips upside down until reboot, afterwards it back to normal.
Anyway, thanks for your effort, now it is time to experiment without reinstall everything from scratch
So what exactly does this do to a device?
TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) is a custom recovery just like CWM (ClockworkMod).
Custom recovery is used for different OS customization, but mostly is used for installing custom ROMs (like CyanogenMod, CarbonROM, etc.) and full device backup and restore, well at least that is why is mostly known for.
If you are interested in more on TWRP you can follow this links for more: link1, link2

yeah.. the first twrp releases created for this device is inverted... Abdul just add some tweak to get the proper orientation for our device
good thing you confirm that nandroid back up works!
are you part of 4pda people?
Yes, nandroid backup works ok, at least on my model.
Didn't have other ROM to test, but I've tested it by "destroying" some parts of stock ROM (apps, settings, etc.) and tried recovery.
Maybe I'll try some RK2918 generic ROM if found something useful.
No, I'm not part of 4PDA people/community, why do you ask?
I'm just a enthusiast who started tinkering around this tablet frustrated with its stock ROM (in)stability.
I've read some 4PDA forum posts and they really have interesting discussions on the subject of Mediapad 7 Lite, but sometimes I'm a bit lost in translation even when using Google Translate. Cyrillic I can read, but speaking/writing Russian sadly no.

Thats nice... anyway i found some generic rk2918 cm10 i will to port one...
Since I am kinda new to this stuff, just to be clear, can I flash a custom ROM and update my Android using this and if yes, where do I get the ROM from and are there any particular instructions for flashing it?
TWRP is not custom ROM, but recovery/install tool that can help you install custom ROMs.
You can flash only custom ROM that is compatible with your device. E.g. MediaPad 7 Lite is based on RK2918 System-on-chip (aka. SoC), and it needs ROM with configuration (settings, drivers, etc.) for that hardware configuration, so it is not easy task to make fully compatible custom ROM, especially if you don't know or don't have source code for you device.
Android platform has very high device "fragmentation", so custom ROM for device with similar hardware specs, can still make your device unusable or bricked at worst if not careful.
As I said before, I didn't find any custom ROM for Mediapad 7 Lite, but I've seen some customization on stock ROM (based on SP19 firmware) on 4PDA forum (but I think it contains only Russian localization - I'm not sure!)
There are some RK2918 custom ROMs (mostly CM10) for some tablets, but don't know it they would be easily customized to this tablet.
Search XDA forum, it has a lot of forum threads on this and similar subjects.
Anyway... if you plan to experiment, you need to be careful, if you don't want your tablet to become "PaperWeight 7 Lite"
Thank you for you're reply. I will for now, keep my device as it is. Thank you for you're time.
just to let any Linux user know I have created a tutorial to flash OP's TWRP here

sorry if next appears negative, I am not an expert just seeking to clarify some things
I have unpacked our TWRP and it appears to be a port of another device.
eg inside build.prop I can see
ro.product.brand=yuandao
....
ro.product.model=n70s
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
secondly inside init.rc there is no line to import the usb rc file instead I only see this import
import /init.recovery.rk30board.rc
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
OOOH there is no usb rc file but I can bodgee one up if you are interested.
altho I have no experience with TWRP I have ported 3 CTRs that show at needrom, so I have some skills....modest too
Did you guys focus on the big picture and forget to update the text files?
Do you mind if I have a go at fixing and either pm you a download link or forum link?
cheers and thanks for reading
Hmmm!?
I am sorry to bring more bad news......but I think I have a found a possible answer to why the id is wrong in TWRP.
EDIT and I am hoping this is the reason why fastboot is not working for me, altho I know not all devices support fastboot. As my udev is right, rebooting and looking for fastboot is currently a fail........but thats one more test I shall have to do in rebuilding our TWRP.
The id is wrong in the stock BOOT image unpacked. That is, our porter may have taken that id as gospel without checking it independently. Also I am aware our device will still have different ids such as for the modem which is often a different manufacturer........I am often wrong.....but this I feel explains the human error in TWRP.
It shows for its init.rc
write /sys/class/android_usb/android0/idVendor 18d1
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
forgive me for pointing out the correct id is 12d1 as showing here
http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids
For anyone interested 18d1 is Google.
2) EDIT I was initially planning to have a go at fixing our current TWRP. The time to edit and check stuff is roughly the same time and effort to port a more recent TWRP.
For that reason, if I brick my device, only I have bricked it and all other users are not mislead.......giggles.
I have found that Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 is a 7 inch 600 x 1024 pixels and someone has kindly uploaded TWRP 2.8.4.0 for it at the TWRP site. So fingers crossed I can port that correctly. Later, if device is still alive, I can mod our boot image to correct specs.
cheers and thanks for reading
Go ahead.. Let us know what can you accomplish.. Remember samsung doesnt use Rk flatform.. If you want to go further more.. You can ask Abdul.. He is a very helpful guy
edit
slightly off topic so removed.
Hi
rather than pollute this nice thread about TWRP for our device I have started a new thread on some of my thoughts, feel free to peruse, abuse or comment there. I won't post any more here until I have a proven result or 2 or 6
I hope you understand why I am posting this as well?

[HELP] Z7 Max (NX505J) upgraded to paolothlw8's unofficial CM12.1 -- report

NOTE: this OP subject was originally "[HELP] ZTE nubia Z7 Max (NX505J) stock ROM v3.09 update report";
- for the "Upgrade to paolothlw8's Unofficial CM12.1 Lollipop v5.1.1 V3 report", see post #22.
- for the Stock v3.19 update, see post #4.​
I updated my Nubia Z7 Max from BB72's v1.64 custom KitKat 4.4.2 ROM directly to the latest stock Nubia v3.09, with Lollipop 5.0.
I want to leave here a brief account, so others know this can be done and it is not an overly complicated procedure. But, please, pay attention, because this will completely reformat and factory reset your device -- so, if you want to keep anything on the phone, backup before!
For starters, the downloads and instructions I used (mostly ):
Nubia Z7 Max v3.09 (free registration required for download)
http://www.needrom.com/download/nubia-z7-max-v3-09/
Be sure to access *#7678# dialer menu to enable both ports before and after flashing!​
Needrom instructions are quite detailed and accurate, so I'll just summarize the main steps:
Install ZTE mobile USB drivers. (I used 'Drivers All In One Tool By Tigreos')
Download and install 'Nubia Tool Updater V2.0.0' in your Windows computer.
Download 'NX505J_CNCommon_V3.09.rar' file on your computer and unpack.
Run the installed 'Nubia Tool Updater V2.0.0' as administrator (right click...) and select the path were you unpacked NX505J_CNCommon_V3.09.rar.
Watch Needrom's pictures carefully to know when you're ready to proceed (summary picture below, you might need a few tries...).
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The remaining button is "Open"......
My findings:
- Drivers MUST be updated for this to work, so you'll have to uninstall previous versions;
- The phone must be connected to computer in powered state, before the Updater is run;
- I had two hiccups after installation, because (I thought) the phone didn't boot and got stuck in the Chinese red letters after the boot animation;
- I solved this by connecting phone to computer again, a Chinese message with a counter appeared, and I let it finish (it counted to 21);
- Tigreos tool also provides for TWRP v2.8.6.0 quick installation (reboot required);
- TWRP provides ROOT (reboot required);
- Even after rooting adb doesn't push files (system RO, no ROOT in shell), so I needed an SD card to get GApps on phone;
- This is caused by ROM being a production build (you'll get a message saying thus: "adbd cannot run as root in production builds");
- After you flash GApps via TWRP, setup and get updated busybox from the Play store, as well as [THREAD="1687590"]adbd-insecure[/THREAD] to solve the problem;
- Not all languages are present (I use English) and some features will be presented with Chinese characters -- so, for a smoother experience, some tweaking will be required...
All in all a fast and stable new start for this great phone, which is being let down for the lack of Western locales support.
Bear in mind that various other information sources exist here at the forum, as well as elsewhere; I'll just list a couple here for the benefit of newcomers...
[THREAD="3053880"][Tutorial] [Root] [Upgrade] [4.4-->5.0] ZTE Nubia Z7 Max to Lollipop 5.0[/THREAD]
Very detailed report by user craagz of the upgrade procedure from stock v1.57 (KK 4.4.2) to v2.13 (Lollipop 5.0).
[THREAD="3100542"]Tuto installation rom stock v 3.09 nubia z7 max[/THREAD]
French(!) tutorial by user hayastan06 of installation of the stock ROM v3.09 (Lollipo 5.0)
For further info on the Nubia Z7 Max, search the present Nubia forums (http://forum.xda-developers.com/zte-z7) or check my dedicated index post ([THREAD="2961145"][INDEX] ZTE nubia Z7 Max[/THREAD]).
I thought I'd follow up by posting here some screenshots as well as talking about some of the changes and tweaks I have been doing. So first here are the screen captures of the system details after the upgrade, as well of the AnTuTu benchmark.
System details
AnTuTu Global Score
AnTuTu Comparison Chart
EDIT: list of ROM included mostly Chinese apps I have removed with Titanium Backup without major(!) problems...
Amap.apk
Baidu Map.apk
DianPing.apk
MeiTuan.apk
QQ.apk
Qunar Travel.apk
Sogou Input Method.apk
Sohu TV.apk
Tencent Video.apk
Today's Headline.apk
vip.com.apk
WeChat.apk
Weibo.apk
Mostly Chinese apps I was unable to remove/replace because they caused stuff I need to stop working:
nubia_Music.apk (replaces default Android Music)
nubia_Tms.apk (replaces the default Android browser, but is in fact QQ browser, which I didn't manage to replace with either AOSP or CM default browser).
(!) Be forewarned, though, that there might be unforeseen complications...
Another thing: I seem to have lost the ability to send audio file metadata (filenames, ID3 tags and such) over Bluetooth. If anyone happens to know how to solve, please post. TIA.
Upgrade path to Stock v3.19 successfully completed
As the title implies, I have now upgraded my device to the latest Stock version being offered on Needrom.com.
I lost hours at the beginning because Nubia Upgrade Tool kept giving me the "Internal Modem Error" (see the Italian instructions for solving it here)...
So here's the upgrades list (ATTENTION: serially upgrading appears to be mandatory and you always have to unroot via modded TWRP from v3.15 up):
Stock v3.15 -- http://www.needrom.com/download/nubia-z7-max-v3-15/
Stock v3.17 -- http://www.needrom.com/download/z7-max/
Stock v3.18 -- http://www.needrom.com/download/ota-update-v3-18/
Stock v3.19 -- http://www.needrom.com/download/ota-update-v3-19/
After completion I installed GApps (Pico v5, from first link above) and, for more governors and tweaking options, the NZ7ML kernel v1.3 (the only Lollipop compatible version!).
The final app list (user+system) after GApps installation, updating and debloating (uninstall of every Chinese user app) is at http://pastebin.com/w9DxJMuq.
One of the benefits I am already seeing is improved battery -- only 2% gone after 7 hours, with no screen time...
How do we flash 3.17 over 3.15? The instructions are not clear on Needrom and dont want to end up with a bricked device. Can you please help?

Installation process:
1.-Execute .exe, and install TWRP with option 2.
2.-Unroot phone, this function is in special TWRP.
3.-Flash v3.17

There are two downloads: "Official Stock Z7 Max v.3.17" is the OTA ROM update, and "TWRP special OTA", which is a modded TWRP recovery installer that you need to put on the phone before upgrading.
Copy the first package to your phone storage -- remembering where you put it; for easy retrieval, my advice is to put it at the root of the phone's internal storage.
Unpack the second package to a folder on your computer and execute the only executable you'll find inside as administrator; if the phone drivers are installed and an ADB connection is achieved, upon pressing "2" the upgrade to the modded TWRP recovery will be performed.
Reboot to Recovery and you should see the TWRP recovery v2.8.6.0 modded by Stalence (it will ask for language settings, choose English, as I summon you don't understand Chinese).
Touch the "Advanced" button, then "Stalence Tools" and "Unroot" -- it will tell you if it succeeded; re-rooting is just a matter of choosing the appropriate option.
Return to the initial screen (touch "Home" or press back button until you arrive), touch "Install", locate the OTA ROM update package and swipe to flash.
In case any of these steps shows some error, just reboot to recovery and do it again (repeat the step).
After doing all, reboot to system and be very, very patient, because it will take a long time to finish booting... Done! :fingers-crossed:
and you can also download Official Stock Z7 Max v.3.20 from here (853.1 MB) and just flash with any recovery
Any changelog for v3.20?
Directly updated to 3.20
And what is the procedure for updating to 3.20? Does it require 3.19 or it can be directly installed from 3.15?
I flashed 3.20 over 3.15 using TWRP and its directly updated. Working fine as of now. Yet to see the improvements over 3.15. Thanks all!
hi. can someone help me out and upload the drivers in the phone itself somewhere? all the available drivers on the web are incompatible with my z7 max. the only one that worked was the one inside the phone. when i installed cm 12, apparently i lost the driver too. i would really appreciate it if someone could upload the driver from the virtual cd-rom the z7max creates. thanks.
i've attached it to this post. hopefully it takes the attachment.

Next time, please avoid double-posting like you just did. Better yet, open up a new thread with your request to improve visibility... :angel:
thanks. i apologize for that, i was really frustrated with my phone and in a hurry. i managed to get them after all and installed the new rom (3.15). i just want to highlight something that was mentioned in installation guides, but should be mentioned more than once and with a very big RED FONT!!
disconnect every external hard disk and flash drive from your computer before starting the installation. i almost lost 4 tbs of data on 2 hard disks because i didn't pay attention to this. the app will erase every partition on your external hdd and might create 20-30 partitions on it! and if that happens getting your data back is possible using partition recovery software like testdisk, partition find&mount ...etc.
oops, totally forgot about that. if i'm not mistaken, it was from (NX505J_CNCommon_V2.13) which was the lollipop beta (very unstable).
i have since already updated my phone to v3.15.
v3.15 looks stable so far. from the nubia.cn forums, it seems like anything above 3.15 has been buggy for them (from what my google translate says). so, i have stayed on 3.15.
Amazingly, the best thing so far is that my notifications are all working and battery life does seem to be a bit better. Most of the apps I use also look to be staying resident better and
crashing less.
The built in music player does still seem buggy. Seems to stop/crash quite a bit (especially when I swap over to a game which has music turned off).

As the thread implies, I'm now on v3.19, which I find by far to be the best I have tried (including vanilla stock and BB72 rehashes). Maybe the fact that I run paolothlw8's modded kernel is the key factor here, I don't know.
Now, if only it wasn't bridled with so many Chinese (cr)Apps... :silly:

Someone complained of the same at Adroidiani, so I took the precaution of keeping the Nubia Music APK shared as solution -- you can find it at http://mir.cr/PWWLWUYN...
I haven't tested it, since the version in the current ROM is the best ever for me, but you might want to try it...
And please do tell us if you do.
I am on version 3.15 can I update it directly to v.3.19 or I need to go step by step for updating it

Is that the nubia setup wizard? I don't remember it having UK as a country to select ... I thought it was just language. Which 309 or 315 did you install? I had no issues install 315 from needrom and then using the paranoidandroid link for gapps. Maybe try it again?
also, you don't need to apply gapps right away. try letting the nubia go through setup wizard first. then go the temporary recovery and install gapps later (if you haven't tried that)
Thanks for this guide and your support.
I used it to go from 1.59 ->1.64 ->3.09 ->3.22
Had some time consuming issues along the way (4-5 hours..) - bootloop when going from 1.59 ->1.64 and loosing IMEI when going from 3.09-> 3.22.
the first issue was finally solved by flashing stock ROM from side load and the second issue was solved by extracting the nv.qcn file from the nubia backup folder under C: and writing it to the phone using QPST tools.
So if anyone hit one of these walls..
Does anyone have any issues with the bluetooth and WiFi?
I'm having an issue with the bluetooth where i can't pair things as it doesn't bring up the popup screen to write the PIN.
The WiFi connection is not stable.

How to unroot OPX

Hello guys,
I rooted my OPX using TWRP & SuperSu.
Now I want to fully unroot my OPX & erase everything as it was when it first came in my hand.
SuperSu is having an option which says - "Full unroot" but after clicking it ,it says "uninstalling.." ,& this screen appears for too long and still nothing happens.
What shall I do now?
Or, can someone help me with this -
Some apps (like Titanium backup) are unable to gain root access even if I'm rooted.
What can I do?
First this isn't the right spot to post this, please post in questions and answers section of the oneplus x forms (this is for Android development for roms and kernels only)
And as far as unrooting just reflash the full stock rom either through stock recovery or through blu spark twrp.

1. Wrong section, you should post under Q&A
2. If root isn't working properly, try to root again
3. Hopefully you have followed step 2 of this root guide (link to xda), so you can simply restore complete stock, so now you can simply restore it, right?
Okay.....
And Sorry for misplacement,won't happen again.

[Root][Guide] How to Root SM-G900T, Any Firmware

BACKGROUND: OK this question gets asked every day, by members of varying skill levels, so this is intended to be a one stop guide on how to root, no matter what firmware version you're running. Yes this will trip Knox, no that will have no effect on your phone whatsoever, and there are ways to reset the Knox counter. If worst comes to worst and you need to bring your phone in for warranty and they give you any sort of lip for the Knox counter, tell them Kies broke your phone and they da** well better fix it (worked for me with multiple Samsung devices).
That said, this will root the SM-G900T (T-Mobile Galaxy S5) no matter what version of android you're running. Make sure you read this entire post and understand everything before trying anything.
PREPARATION: Disclaimer out of the way, now for the fun stuff. First, preparation, you need to download the following files to your PC: Odin 3.11.1 (this is Odin, it flashes stuff to Samsung android phones); twrp-3.0.2-2-klte.img.tar (this is the custom recovery we're going to use). Extract the Odin zip file to your PC's Desktop. Download the file named UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.79-20161211114519.zip somewhere to your phone's internal storage or external SD, doesn't really matter which. Now in your phone's settings, go to About device, scroll down to Build number. Repeatedly tap Build number until your phone tells you Developer options have been turned on. Go back and enter developer options, enable USB debugging and hit OK. At this point you'll want to connect your phone to your PC with USB, just to make sure it actually connects (it should). If not, you can download the USB drivers from here (scroll down to Downloads section), but most likely this won't be necessary. OK prep work done, now we get to actually get started on rooting our phone. Make sure your phone has at least 50% battery, this is always a smart safety step.
STEPS:
Power off the phone. Boot into download mode (hold vol-, home, and power all at once in that order), then hit vol+ to continue
Run Odin (double click the Odin3 v3.11.1.exe file). Click the Options tab, disable the "Auto-Reboot" option and double check that "Re-Partition" option is disabled (it should be by default), this is critical to success
Connect phone via USB. Hit AP button in Odin, select the twrp-3.0.2-2-klte.img.tar
Flash (click start). When it's done, the progress bar will be full and Odin should say "PASS!"
Hold vol+, home, and power (all at once, in that order) to boot into recovery. THIS MUST BE DONE BEFORE REBOOTING NORMALLY!. TWRP might ask if you want to let it modify your system or keep it read only. I would highly recommend you let it modify your system, you might be OK keeping it read only, but I cannot guarantee that. You will be fine letting it modify your system, that I can guarantee.
Hit the install option and navigate to the SuperSU zip file that is saved to your tablet. Select it and swipe to install.
Reboot system (normal reboot). If TWRP should ask you, do not let it install supersu the way it wants to (do not swipe to install, just reboot).
When android is booted, run the superSU app and go into settings, disable the Mount namespace separation option, and reboot immediately.
Please note the first boot might take a while. If after 10 minutes or so the phone has not rebooted, you should boot back into TWRP, install the supersu zip file again, and this time wipe cache and dalvik before rebooting. Otherwise the cache and dalvik wipe is not necessary. I will eventually post pictures to demonstrate all the steps in the 2nd post, and hopefully FAQs or whatever in the third post.
If you want to hit the thanks button that would be awesome, but the real credit goes to chainfire for his amazing work with supersu and really just all things root in general; and Dees_Troy for doing an excellent job developing and maintaining TWRP custom recovery for our device. They're the real heroes, I just wrote up this guide

FAQ's
Does this method work with the new marshmallow (6.0.1) firmware?
Yes. I have done it myself, it works
So I'm rooted now what?
Once you're rooted, you can use certain apps you would be unable to use not rooted. A few I would definitely recommend checking out: AdAway (an adblocker), Viper4Android (significantly, noticeably improve your audio quality by tweaking the settings in this app), Titanium Backup (not only backup and restore app settings, but freeze/uninstall unwanted system apps, aka bloatware), and a root-enabled file explorer such as Root Browser or ES File Explorer (with the root option enabled) is recommended. If you plan to install Viper4Android, before doing so please first flash this file in TWRP and then reboot, edit the following lines in the file /system/build.prop, and reboot again once the edits are made:
Code:
lpa.decode=true to lpa.decode=false
tunnel.decode=true to tunnel.decode=false
lpa.use-stagefright=true to lpa.use-stagefright=false
Where can I find custom ROMs for this phone?
Touchwiz (Samsung's version of Android similar to the one that comes stock with the phone) based ROMs can be found in the T-Mobile Galaxy S5 Android Development Section. AOSP (Google's original version of Android) based ROMs, such as CyanogenMod, AOKP, Mokee, Bliss, AICP, Resurrection-Remix, etc. can be found in the S5 Unified Development Section. I must warn you i can give a lot more information on the aosp based ROMs since that is my personal preference in overall Android experience, as a result my knowledge of touchwiz based development is much shakier. To each their own, and we ought to cherish android's ability to give us such a powerful freedom of choice and fight for this continued ability for our control of our personal devices against current trends of locking everything down too tight to allow for true development based innovation. Remember, when getting ROMs from this section, this phone's development name is klte (as opposed to kltevzw, kltespr, klteusc, etc.)
More info to come
Thank you very much for posting this, I just got a used S5 in the mail today and your process worked like a charm. Rooted on the first pass.

I'm pretty sure it'll cause a bootloop, I would recommend against doing the swipe to install when twrp asks you to, saying supersu isn't installed (it is when you install the zip, twrp just can't detect it). The reason for this is something in the kernel called selinux (long story, Google it if you want the full blown details) but the short version is starting with android 5.1.1 older versions of supersu (ie the one twrp wants to install for you automatically) usually cause a bootloop. The supersu zip file I link to in my post is specifically designed to avoid this issue. Thanks for reminding me, I wanted to put this question in the FAQ section. It's an important issue and something anyone who wants to know a little more about android should be aware of

Thank you for your quick and helpful response. So if my phone is booting now, with supersu installed, does that mean I am good to go?
Bootloop may be what happened. After awhile, I pulled the battery, booted back into TWRP and reinstalled the supersu zip file. I did not wipe cache or dalvik but I also did not swipe to install supersu. My phone now boots and acts fine other than showing "Set Warranty Bit : kernel", but I think that is expected, correct?

The Set Warranty Bit: kernel thing is normal, that's just your phone telling you it's rooted (I mean it's technically telling you the kernel has been modified, in this case only just to allow for supersu to be installed). As long as you're booting fine, that's what's important. Thanks for the feedback, and I hope I've been helpful

Trying with FOL, downloaded via the link provided here. After installing TWRP, i have to remove the battery to get the phone to turn off. It still acts as if it were being updated, and the power button does not work. Taking out the battery, putting it back in, and pressing vol up, home, power brings up twrp.
After hitting install, the zip file fails:

trips KNOX

BACKGROUND: Yes this will trip Knox, no that will have no effect on your phone whatsoever, and there are ways to reset the Knox counter. If worst comes to worst and you need to bring your phone in for warranty and they give you any sort of lip for the Knox counter, tell them Kies broke your phone and they da** well better fix it (worked for me with multiple Samsung devices).

not good to trip KNOX from what I understand. maybe there can be included in this a way to remove KNOX? I know I posted this comment in another post that linked to this. I thought I was on the right post. sorry. OH and What is Kies and how is that pronounced?

Knox is Samsung's indicator if your phone has ever had a non-stock kernel installed. Currently there are very few pieces of software - Samsung only - that check this flag. One may be Samsung Pay. However, it doesn't cause any other problems with any other parts of Android. And, doesn't keep you from turning your phone back it, etc.
KIES is the software that Samsung supplies to flash updates, make backups, etc.

[ROM][MM 6.0.1][Deodexed][Delete Bloatware][Final] Edge Panel stable Rom for SM-J7108

Newest Nougat rom is availabe at here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j7/development/rom-axvy-rom-sm-j7108-stable-sexy-af-t3687461
I posted previously for j7108 https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j7/development/j7108-android-6-0-1-marshmallow-rom-t3542561
This Rom contain Google Play too.
Bloatware is heavily removed, after flash this Rom you will able to uninstall them!
- using newest update from Samsung
- Camera seem to focus faster and able to capture clearer picture
- phone app has new transition
Lot of preloaded apps/bloatwares are removed properly, it will be very long if I list them all.
Tips for keyboard:
Set Keyboard Swipe to Cursor Control, when you typing you can move the cursor up down left right easily
Keyboard size is helpful especially for those screen with problem
Download language pack to enable spell checking.
Edited build.prop for optimisation, check that old thread. Lot are the same except I remove the nobootanimation already.
My warranty is voided last time because I didn't know about frp lock while flashing wrong rom of other country.
To close Frp Lock, enable Developer Options(google it for step), enable OEM Unlock before flashing
Yet I did not add root to this rom for now, comment if you need it.
I do not know if this rom will void your warranty. Feel free comment to tell us. (Mine after flash in Odin mode said official firmware thought)
In summary I think this rom is better, if you have any request, leave a comment below
Will Void waranty!!!
Cannot use pin version, for those who don't have SD card or phone insufficient space:
Download 720.9mb, extract 1 time and ready to flash using odin. Use AP: https://mega.nz/#!ucl01DaA!APSN35pyT0qH4RnP4GNoc9J8C6wVRlpC5TKBfCBvXJE Set lock screen pin not working
No error version. No need format or wipe your phone and all Knox Carmode stub etc removed in compare to top one:
press backspace to hide keyboard. Files below all extract one time and ready to flash.
1. Flash this first: https://mega.nz/#!qUsXmbwD!Q-rr7wJW7AKYi0xsTIZZvhhDG2zHCCbDAWiAA_mS4JY
2. Flash TWRP using odin https://mega.nz/#!ycc3nLBR!_do-RBTeOfIWvDK5enea8tJXDn5w1hyWuL7j7ZCuh5I select AP
3. Put zip to Phone folder or SD card, install using twrp HOME+POWER+ volume up: https://mega.nz/#!aNFECCRS!84XOLiu_-nyMoSSDTS0ym6dA3xek7Cc2GEHlbib30sE
Personal or application data will remain, this is just like update the Rom.
I have tested this rom before post it but still back up your phone. First boot time will be quite long, please wait for it.
Fyi, when preparing update it take lot of time processing, don't interrupt it and it will come to the last step optimise app.
First boot is always slow then it will be fine. Comment if you don't understand or face problem.

Quite amazing all functions are working fine, so far no crash and used for few day already
Cannot use pin version: Screen Lock type can't be set.
Pin won't show after lock, don't set pin because it will tell you wrong pin even it's correct when you want to reset it
To remove password you have to go to https://findmymobile.samsung.com/?p=home
I will reupload soon but busy now
Or flash back stock then change pin, not a big issue
Link updated, added twrp j7108 download link
Hopefully it help more people out there, I hope you love this Rom
Further update and improved. I have perform lot of testing. It's stable. Lot of tweaks added.
It has symbol above every key, long press to use symbol. I really love Samsung Keyboard so much, especially the cursor.
To get red underline, for typo, download language pack first. Assistant Menu is come with the phone, google to enable it.
And quick tip to make your phone faster, enable developer mode then disable animation scale. Screenshot more is very nice, I want to thanks Samsung to provide such features allow me to enjoy their product so much. I hope they add edge panel soon, most useful feature.
Here is the new download link, you can find above too, you need twrp for j7108, check above.
THIS WILL VOID WARRANTY!!

What do you mean by custom Rom?
If you mean not stock firmware release by Samsung then this is a custom rom.
For ultimate fast speed and hacks for j7108 Rom pm me.
It's release for private only
I installed this ROM but I seem to still have all the bloatware. You say after this flash I'll be able to uninstall bloatware, but it is as before, if I select uninstall it only gives me option to uninstall updates and return to factory version of apps.
Hmm, should I have wiped system and cache before flashing?
Clearly I have your new ROM installed because I now have the edge app which I did not before. Or, what did I miss.?
Before flashing I was at version J7108ZHU1BQB1 which is same as what you suggest we upgrade to first. Then I used Odin to flash j7first.tar and then J7108twrp-3.0.3.0.tar, then I used TWRP recovery to install ExcellentTweakedTrimmed.zip

Yes it should and it will, can you help me check which bloatware is not removed? Look:
can be completely uninstall
That's odd, both .img and twrp version will uninstall my apps.
You say it revert to old version? Flash it again perhaps since it match stock version of that app.
Really, I have tried both of then several time for bug testing, that's why I believe it will 100% work. NO wipe required ya, this is just like updat, DON'T reset as I have tested.
I am gladly to watch it over video to see at what's the problem, if you don't mind pm me your skype username.

Ha, OK, yes it does work. When I hit "uninstall" it gives me the same dialogue box as always before:
"Do you want to replace this app with the factory version? [Cancel], [OK]"
So I thought nothing had changed and I didn't even try to go further, But now I see that that if I select [OK], it actually does uninstall - it does not revert to the factory version like the dialogue box says it will..
I installed the TWRP version by the way

It won't work, the kernel is not compatible
This is for j7108, still if you want to try I won't stop you.
Place the custom rom in your phone at all time so when anything happen just flash that custom rom you are using now back.
Go to my thread use this link
"3. Put zip to Phone folder or SD card, install using twrp HOME+POWER+LOCK :
https://mega.nz/#!aNFECCRS!84XOLiu_-nyMoSSDTS0ym6dA3xek7Cc2GEHlbib30sE
"
That one is flashable, extract with 7z one time put it to your phone or sd card
