I'm new to the forums, mainly because of this issue. Could you please elaborate? I'm just trying to get a better understanding of what's going on with the phone. Also, do you think the door is shut forever, or that maybe a future update could make this possible?
One more dumb question. Is there a way to limit my connection from LTE to H+? It's the only time I can send a text.

Well I do not know if the door is shut forever or not all we can do is just wait. Also you use be using a different carrier I haven't seen verizon have H+ connection. So I can't help you there.
Hi Everyone,
I have finally decided to get the S6 edge as the prices have fallen within my budget. I want to get an unlocked 64 GB GSM model and root it using pingpong root. Can anyone tell me which variant I should get so that I can root and continue to sideload updates while not losing any features.
Thanks!
I suggest you get the international model SM-G925F.
It is unlocked and has the widest support of the community (I saw kernels only support international models G925F/I for the first few versions, before supporting other variants).
Any idea if I can root it and then update it to the latest firmware (while keeping the root)? Don't need OTA, just any way to do it is fine. I love this phone but it has so many hoops to jump through. I need root for adblocking and also need latest firmware for samsung pay.
So i just got a G925W8VLU3BOK1 Canadian Galaxy S6 Edge from bell and was looking for a way to root without setting off the knox counter when I came across ping pong root. I can't seem to find out if this method will work with this device (on firmware 5.1.1). Does anyone know that if it will work or not?
As you can read at http://pingpong-root.com:
"If you have android 5.1.1 it will trip Knox warranty"
Kingroot trips Knox as well on that firmware i think.
Sorry if these are dumb questions... I have searched unsuccessfully for answers here and I am new to the forums and to Android... not sure where to ask this...
I just bought a new (unsold stock) T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900T) phone and activated it on the T-Mobile network. The phone came with G900TUVU1ANE6 (4.4.2) from the factory. After only a few hours of operation T-Mobile has pushed an unnamed update to the phone which I assume is G900TUVU1GPE1 (6.0.1) Marshmallow. I have postponed installation of the update but don't know how long I can postpone it or if I can prevent its installation.
Will installing Marshmallow cause my S5's bootloader to become locked? I ask because I found this on Wikipedia (link not allowed) "As of Marshmallow, the Android Compatibility Definition Document contains new security mandates for devices, dictating that those that are capable of accessing encrypted data without affecting performance must enable Secure boot and device encryption by default".
Or is my G900T's bootloader already locked? I ask because I found this at root my galaxy dot net (link not allowed) "If your device’s bootloader is locked then you will get the update via OTA. [...] If your device is rooted or bootloader is unlocked then you have to manually Flash / Install Official Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow Firmware On T-Mobile Galaxy S5 using Odin Flash tool".
The second question worries me more. I bought a T-Mobile S5 because so many sources claim the G900T bootloaders are unlocked. Now I'm unsure. Is there an easy way to determine if my bootloader is locked or unlocked? (I have Heimdall available on a Linux laptop but no windows machine).
I hope to install CM10 or CM13 on my S5. Thanks in advance for any definite information or guidance anyone can provide.
I'm thinking about buying an S5 and am wondering this as well.

After installing the latest firmware, you can still flash custom ROMs, you can still root, etc.
Just look in the Android Development sub-forum, and you will see several custom ROMs for MM on the SM-900T.
You can also flash ROMs from the International S5 forum. I've never flash a CM ROM, but there are several on this forum that have and do.

G900T T-Mobile's bootloader is not locked. I've downgraded from MM to KK without problems. I flashed RR MM without problems
No brother . I mean if I need to root s5 T-Mobile than shall I downgrade it first or I can easily do it on marshmallow.
Can u tell me any authentic root process!
Thanks

It's exactly the same process on MM as it is on LP or KK.
I rooted my G900T about two weeks ago. It had MM the latest patches and everything, so you don't need to worry about the bootloader ever being locked.
marshmallow to Lollipop?

Hi, I just bought a brand new S5 and it has marshmallow already, I am trying to downgrade to 5.1.1 and it acts like the boot loader is locked, Ordin fails mid flash. How were you able to do it?

Hi! is your smartphone really a G900T?
IF it is so... It is pretty sure you download a firmware and it is incomplete.
Where do you download from?
Which version is it?
it is a G900T, I downloaded stock Lollipop 5.1.1 from T mobile

Got a used att v60 today. I have a cricket sim. Software update says phone is up to date on Android 10.
If I root now will I lose my chance for Android 11?
When you root a device, the OTA updating for firmware will not work. Google security updates will be fine though.
