is your bootloader locked?
i want to buy China Mobile version(G8508S) here in Shanghai and i am afraid the bootloader will be locked and this method above won't work.
mine is g850f, don't really know if I have locked or unlocked bootloader.
For information obviously it tripped the knox warranty void, but I don't care

I would like to know if this works on the AT&T version as well.
Cool that's it's rooted already, but there's not a lot of support for the phone, no ROMs, etc.

Ditto for me... on the fence with this one. It has the perfect weight and size, I just don't want it to be an oddball version of a phone that no devs wind up supporting. I've been waiting and waiting for the Nexus 6/X but either way based on the two rumors it seems like it is going up in size which is the opposite direction I'm willing to go.
Guys wait a little, the phone was just released!
Chainfire made root, please note: triggering KNOX void.

I'm interested in this device (to replace a Galaxy Note 3 Neo), however I need it fully HMP-enabled. Is it so? For app support, you can try 3C CPU Manager or 3C Toolbox, it should support your CPU 8 cores already, and show if it's HMP enabled.
No root for SM-G850W

Hi,
I've been searching around for downgrading my GS6E to 5.0.2, and all I could find is that it's not possible due to the new bootloader. But isn't it possible to flash the engineering bootloader and then flash the stock 5.0.2 firmware over it?
Regards
im also trying to undersand this, anyone with feedback? please.
Für die, die kein Englisch verstehen können,
nein,
es ist nicht möglich von 5.1.1 auf 5.0.2 herunter zu schrauben.

Pingpongroot only works on 5.0.2 and Unikernel is only compatible with the international variant, G925F. Therefore in your case there is currently no root every custom rom requires root so no luck with that either

Wrong, Unikernel is for every variant, such as s6e 925T T-mobile. I use it to root even though my phone is on newest 5.1.1

Not completely wrong. If it works for t mobile that does not mean it works for every variant. There are actually a few more it works with but not many

Just got a 5X (in the US). I would like to use the fingerprint reader (so probably limited to stock ROM?) but would also like to use Xposed if possible,
Could someone recommend a ROM to flash? Or can I put Xposed on stock ROM at this time?

No problem with your stock ROM and with latest Xposed framework. No need to change anything.

Awesome, thanks!
Anyone idea if it will play nice with the Marshmallow update?
And in general what are everyone's impressions of the update? Is it better than the 5.1 stock, or are there bugs?

That's great! My wife has a 5X running the 5.1 stock, rooted but not modified in any other way. I assume the OTA is seamless in terms of not messing up existing apps/accounts/data/settings etc?
I don't want to run the update for her if it's going to cause any issues.

Smart switch, will tell you when there is an update available and you will be able to install it
And if you really want to update pick up the file from sammobile and Odin it

well you've rooted your phone, do you expect to get OTA just like that?
Once your phone is rooted, that's the only way, to get updates installed, unless you unroot and install a stock rom, and then yes you will get OTA updates the choice is yours

Unless someone has a solution for the OEM thing, then there is no choice than re-root again after update I guess.

If your rooted then install one of the great ROMs that our fantastic devs have put together. When there is an update that justifies a rom update they usually have one out in a short period of time.

You can try DevBase rom is like %95 stock with latest updates.
Anyways, the last update from Samsung (ARD4) is the best so far, it has fixed many issues. Don't miss it

Anyone else not able to update via OTA after unlocking and rooting? The updater just crashes on applying update step 3 of 4. And if so is there any way to get the updates back, even if it means losing root?

Sorry for the off-topic reply, but you were able to unlock the bootloader easily on a Verizon device? Or are you outside of the USA? Thank you.

Ok thank you. I have been looking around and I have not yet found someone who has been successful in unlocking the bootloader on their Verizon Moto Edge+ in USA. I will keep searching.
Hope you find the solution to your problem.
Hmm, this looks promising. Just bought an unlocked S10 (Snapdragon) and will be returning it since it cannot be rooted. Thinking of grabbing the unlocked version of this phone to use on T mobile. It is the same price as what I paid for the S10, so I would only be out the $50 restocking fee. I need root, Adaway, and of course Viper4Android. As of right now, my old rooted Galaxy S4 with Viper4Android absolutely KILLS the S10 in the audio department.

I went on moto site, looks like the only one available is the Verizon variant. That's fine, I have Verizon, but I need root. Any luck?
I managed to get a workaround. I used the Lenovo Rescue and Smart Assistant to reimage my phone which got me to the latest update.

Yes and yes, but there's an easier way.
When an OTA update arrives uninstall magisk (this is only temporary)
Install the OTA and make sure to not restart
Go back to magisk and install but select install to inactive slot (After OTA)
Now you can restart and you're done!
Here's the guide where I got this from
When I tried to restore the back up image for the uninstall step, it says "Stock backup does not exist". Where can I get a stock boot image? Does it have to be Racer xt2063-2 or can it be xt2063-3. This page has variants of xt2063-3, but the Google drives they're stored on have "reached their quotas" so you can't download the images. Those images being stored on a Google drive has me suspicious of motostockrom.com.
What are the variants about? That site not explaining that also makes me suspicious.
Edit: l found a stock boot image here. What is the name of the file Magisk needs to see and where do I put it?
