FEEDBACK
I NEED FEEDBACK ABOUT ROOT ON SLOT STOCK
If anyone try the rom on stock tell me please, maybe this is the big problem that my roms have
I have asked this question elsewhere, but I am still unsure of the answers. I have never installed a ROM to my stock slot. I know some people feel it makes the phone run faster, but I haven't seen a need. I honestly haven't found any ROM (ever.... On any phone) that is 100% perfect, so I wouldn't chance messing up my phone.
I have 4 slots available on SafeStrap. 3 are actually "set up". Not truly enough room to create a 4th. But I know, no matter how dreadful a ROM can be, my phone will be usable by booting into the stock side.
---------- Post added at 06:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 PM ----------
I don't touch the stock slot at all, except to install Titanium and freeze apps I will NEVER use. (Let's Golf comes to mind...) On ROMs I install, I actually remove apps I don't need or use, rather than freeze them.
For those who do run custom ROMs on stock side, are they much better? What happens if phone doesn't boot? Thanks in advance!

@sherri at the beginning of my newbie flasher time, I never flashed the stock slot (using bmm and always slot 1). The only reason using stock slot is to get more internal free space.
I cant tell the difference but in several occasion I do feel wind of change in term of ui response.
But always keep in mind to ensure that the stock slot is loaded with ROM before reboot to system. If you were accidentally wipe the stock slot and forget to flash rom in it, you brick your phone.
I have my lesson in hard ways (three times of bricking my xt910)

not very clear information. please explain?
I'm pretty sure there is no version that is compatible with our HAM2 on Lollipop, yet.
Perhaps we have to modify the build.prop again?
Which reminds me, I still have yet to root my phone.
I have tried the build prop theme changes and about everything I can think of ...both versions for 5.1 hang at boot.
It took forever for xposed to come out for Lollipop because that's when Android made the official jump from Dalvik to ART. Then it appears that certain manufacturers modify the ART runtime on top of that.
It looks like Huawei is one of those companies. Samsung also did it, but they have such a huge fan base that they had a dev that came up with a work around. It's possible that someone will do the same for Huawei eventually, probably for another phone or tablet that could possibly work for us, but I wouldn't hold your breath.

I looked into it and it will prevent booting. Likely to do with emui. Tom is waiting on kernel source so he can make a stock rom. Xposed will then work. Patience is key.
Stock rom? As in, AOSP? Or what?

I've also noticed that if the headphone jack is removed when some audio is playing, sound does not automatically transfer to the speakers. I really hope Tom will find some time to port CM to the HAM2. Its been 7 months since his github page was last updated !

Yes, in fact, I tried to go back, but my internal sd card is broken on anything prior to Lollipop now. So I'm stuck.
Tom was originally going to make KK first. Maybe with the new kernel release he can out something together.
WHat ?

@ArkAngel06 are you saying that once we update to lollipop we can't go back, or is it that the internal stroage does not get formatted back to the way it was w/ JB ?

Anyone elses quote/multi quote and other buttons missing on XDA???
Anyways, I tried to do it the lazy way and it doesn't work and it breaks my internal SD card. I tried to do it the official way and install just fails.
You may have better luck.
@medwatt people keep mentioning a KK build....B148 is the only build I ever see prior to b309, but b148 is JB, so what build is KK? I have always been on 4.3 prior to 5.1.
@ArkAngel06
My quote buttons gone as well, I just got caught up on your other thread discussing this all.
Won't the new twrp 2.8.7.3 L take care of this with the new check script?
keep us updated I'm working 16 hrs x 3 days so no real play time.
Tomorrow I might attempt a 4.3 downgrade. Getting real tired of the bugs, and I dearly miss Viper and Xposed. I have root but didn't flash TWRP so hopefully the official way will work.
Today I even did a factory reset but it seems to have made things worse somehow.

I am using the new unified TWRP, here is what I have tried, with the outcomes.
Use unified TWRP to restore a JB backup I made before LP>>>Won't boot, just boots TWRP over and over.
Use unified TWRP to install Xordos' b148 flashable>>>Boots, but internal SD card is unwritable.
Use old JB version of TWRP to install Xordos' b148 flashable>>>Same as unified TWRP, broken internal SD
I also had a lot trouble doing the official downgrade. Most of the problem was me not reading the instructions, and thinking I just had to throw the b148 dload/update.app on my sdcard, but there is alittle more to it than that. Also, i think you need to have the newest stock recovery installed. I tried it with TWRP installed, obviously it loaded TWRP instead of the stock recovery and failed. I then flashed a stock recovery that I had on my PC, thought it was the new one but I could be wrong, but that also failed. So I just did a full official LP upgrade again with the LP update.app, that gives you all the right stuff and I was then able to do the official downgrade.
I just did that like 5 minutes ago and it appears to be working! So, it looks like its going to be a loooong process going from LP to JB, or vice versa. Wish you could just use TWRP, but I don't think you can.

You know, Viper works on Lollipop? You have to install busy box, install the viper driver, disable low power audio, and start the app after every reboot, but it works!
Sigh. OK I will get the step daughters CC and make a flashable rom.zip from it. Didn't really want to go back to messing with roms much but it looks like there is a need. Can't do it tonight I have a sick 3 year old. I will tomorrow. Maybe afterwards I can make a flashable L zip to make going back and forth easier. Haven't done the L flash yet... But looks like cake walk. Sadly it will overwrite anything you have on the phone.

Do you think the Viper driver will fix my stupid audio cutting out bug? If it will, then maybe I'll stay with 5.1.
Edit: Actually, thanks for reminding me. I hate the whole "start apps on boot manually even though it says start on boot" thing.
Hello guys I've just updated my s6 edge SM-G925F(UAE) OTA update to 5.1.1 and it was cool
But I did actually wanted to root it so I've watched many tutorials on youtube that tells me to install the auto root kernel but every kernel I use I got stuck into bootloop and every time I had to flash the whole firmware from scratch I don't know why I think that's because the kernel is not compatible with the UAE rom so I want from anyone please that can give me a kernel that I can flash to my S6 edge without stucking into bootloop
And another thing, if I downgrade to 5.0.2 and flashed supersu normally then back with 5.1.1 with odin does that losing root?
I cannot help you with your rooting problem but i can tell you from what I've read you can't go back to 5.0.2. There is always a failed flash on odin. And even if you could go back to it SuperSU is installed on the system partition which is completely written over by wiping system then installing the official ota edition from the tar file

Try this link bro
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwWzwVYW7MUxTXFzb1hrSXdoUU0/view?usp=docslist_api
IF THIS LINK DOESN'T WORK?
Which could very well be the case!!
(i'm about 85% certain that the link won't work...)
Meaning the link doesn't want to download, or the file is empty, or you can't find it at all?!
It's simply because i have blocked Google and Samsung from this device because of privacy issues!
(2016, Google is exaggerating in terms of privacy, as more often they will try to convince you that it's for your own safety! But in reality your biggest enemy really is Google!!)
i will upload this edited Stock Rom tomorrow "Insha'Allah" from "a" computer which is better for me, sorry.
Note; The firmware i'm going to upload will be a edited firmware of which i've deleted the "hidden.img" file, it will undoubtedly flash perfectly on any SM-G925F devices through Odin 3.10.6 xda, and your devices will work perfectly, also the firmware isn't attached to any NSP!
Info; I personally don't know what is inside the "hidden.img" file, you could flash the file separately unto your devices BUT you actually don't need the "hidden.img" file for your devices to work 100% flawlessly!
So i advice you all to NOT flash the "hidden.img" file unto your device for your own safety/privacy!!!
YOU OBVIOUSLY DON'T NEED IT!
Protect your privacy, people !!!
(This part is for later! After you have flashed the Firmware i've uploaded/going to upload, i advise you to flash the Xtrestolite Rom and Aroma afterwards if you want root access, and DO NOT select the SimcardToolKit "STK" from Aroma because that's also in your disadvantage!
I've personally been contacted by google and my NSP "network service provider" had blocked my phonenumber because google told them to do so! But i've threatened my NSP with a lawsuit and they instantly fixed my phone number because obviously they don't have the right to block a number on Google's demand!
If i was an American i would have probably sued them , but frankly i really don't care about money, money is necessary but it's just a worthless illusion in reality! However, i do care about my/our privacy!!)
So if this happens to anyone of you, get a lawyer before you contact your NSP OR GOOGLE, because you've won the lottery and for aslong as you have disabled sharing any of your information with Samsung OR Google, then Google can't provide anything in ANY court of law to use against you, because if they do? That would mean that they have broken into your devices which is against any law "WORLD WIDE" if you haven't given them any permissions.
What happened to me is very very, uncommon.
Their luck is that i'm not hungry and i'm a peaceful person )
Again, however this is all for later.
You could restore and root your devices without any Google or NSP issues.
BUT, i could help you setup you NSP into a lawsuit that will end up in your advantage for those who want to get rich quick and go to hell afterwards. lol
For now, just let me know if the link above works (which i doubt).
Otherwise, it'll be about 24hours before i upload the file, long night here...
Thanks, and nice to see that there is a way to root the 5.1.1,

Okay, 1 hour max
Okay, download the Firmware from any one of these links:
goo.gl/TYtvMv (Google Drive, this link is only good for PC!)
http://mab.to/9h2wcUIX7
(You can use these 2 links to download straight to Android or Computer)
http://mab.to/N62ySySMP
~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Download the file and put it AS IT IS on your desktop.
2. Download Odin 3.10.6 from XDA
And unzip it unto a new folder unto your desktop.
3. Run Odin as Administrator and click on AP.
4. Choose the Firmware you've downloaded and let ODIN process the Firmware.
5. Put your device in Download mode (turn your phone off, then hold VOLUME DOWN, HOME and POWER BUTTON, then push volume up to continue)
Or watch this video: https://youtu.be/-50XX-BxItg
6. Then connect your device to your computer, as you can see at 01:30 in the video, the tab in Odin must turn blue which means that Odin has detected your device.
7. Click on start and wait! Do not disconnect your device until your device is flashed SUCCESSFULLY and it will reboot by itself, only when you see Samsung boot logo you should disconnect your device, not before.
If you have encountered any problem, please come back to this page and explain your situation.
Also if you want to root your device successfully, let me know.
Thanks.

WARNING ⚠!!
This firmware is ONLY FOR SM-G925F!!!!
DO NOT FLASH IT UNTO ANOTHER MODEL!!!

Sorry Mr Mughal, i have just noticed your message.
Tell me what your problem is and i will try to guide you step by step, but i will not make a video tutorial because i'm actually not an uploader, i'm more of a curious downloader and editor.
This is just a hobby/therapy to me.
Me uploading this firmware really is an exception, it's simply because i see many people having problems with SM-G925F Stock Roms and no one wants to upload a perfected Stock Rom without bugs and other cracks, and frankly i just can't stand watching helpless people or even animals in need!
If i can help, i always will do so to a certain extent.
Explain your issue please and i'll try to help you.
Be Fast! Because this account i'm using will be deleted in a few days tops for various reasons!

This is the latest, official ROM from Samsung (for some reason their BTU/UK region updates are months ahead of other countries/CSC). Creating it's own thread since I saw multiple questions and PMs around this issue.
And yes, this finally fixes the wifi drain problem: only took Samsung almost a year but they did it
Since someone asked on PM: you need to flash all files in the firmware. If you want to keep your settings flash the HOME_CSC instead of CSC (though if you are flashing directly from a very old firmware over 6 months ago this can can cause issues in which case you may have to reset the device anyways).
And no flashing a different region's firmware will not mess up your device unless the flash fails midway or something.
Wonder why they bothered with a security patch and didn't just go to oreo.

Probably because that will take them another 6 months.
Security patches are easier to provide then complete OS... They havent finished doing the final OReo for S8 etc so until they have a FINAL oreo base to rollout across the portfolio then im happy with the security updates
For anyone who is interested, @ashyx TWRP and root method does work on this firmware. I don't know if you could restore a data partition from your previous configuration with TWRP. But if you try it make sure you do not have any security on your device before making the backup.
Sweet! Downloading now

And no flashing a different region's firmware will not mess up your device unless the flash fails midway or something.

You're going to have to re-flash the firmware, you won't be able to just do an update. But to make things easier do this.
First, remove any security, pin, etc from the device.
Then, boot into twrp and make a backup off the device, external sdcard is fine. You'll only need the data partition but might as well as backup system and boot too.
Then flash the new firmware with Odin, untick the reboot after flashing. Using the keys boot back into download mode.
Use ashyx's method to install twrp and root. Have SuperSU and his boot image patcher on the external sdcsrd.
Then, while still booted into twrp restore the data partition from the nandriod you backed up earlier.
When you boot to system you should have everything back to the way it was with the new firmware.

Gurus,
Now that this supposedly has fixed the standby power drain issue, has anyone had the time to:
1. Determine how much more battery life this provides, and / or
2. Compare how the S3 now stacks up against the S2 in terms of battery life?
TIA

Any mega or other mirror links?
My phone is android lg g5 version H860n. Is it possible to downgrade? How? Thank you very much.
It's not with any official way like LG up or whatever i guess. BUT of course you can do it in a custom way. Unlock bootloader, then flash TWRP, then flash the rom of your choice. There are tons of guides out there about how to do it, if you need any more help feel free to ask
Yes

I have had a big research and tried millions of methods the last 2.5 years i got the phone. Without unlocking the bootloader, you cant downgrade nothing. With locked bootloader, you can only upgrade, not downgrade. That's what i have known so far. If something changed lately tho, i will be surprised. Anyways either way it's not hard to downgrade
