Advice - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I'm kinda new to the rooting scene and looking for some advice. I had recently rooted my phone using this method
- CF-Auto-Root-zerolte-zeroltexx
This method installed SU which at the time I didnt know wasnt the better of choice compared to the likes of Magisk. I am just wondering what I can do to get Magisk installed.
Any advice welcome.

Flash twrp first. Search google/xda and you will find the instructions.
After you have twrp recovery installed you just flash the magisk zip through twrp and that's all.

Thanks for coming back to me but yeah some google-fu and a little more understand on how it all works and I solved it myself. Been an interesting few weeks learning about ROMs, Firmware and rooting.

[Q] [HELP] [Samsung S4 I545 VRUDMI1] [Looked Bootloader] Need a recovery that works.

Dear XDA Developers Comunity,
First of all, I really appreciate the hard work to keep us satisfied with the updates and improvements in technological systems.
Yesterday, I made my first Root on my phone ( Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 ).... unfortunately brings with the latest version and has the VRUMI1 basis, I have understood that the Bootloader is locked, however, if anyone has had the honor of installing any Recovery to a phone with the same version as mine, I would appreciate very much if you indicate me how to do it.
What have I done so far?
Rooted my phone

Then I´ve been looking for a recovery like CWM or TWRP but No luck.
.............I have tried several processes,
********* I tried via ROM Manager (CWM Recovery does not work The me .... says it installed, but it always works the recovery system default.)
********* I tried via GooManager (But the download never starts, I do not understand how bad could it be their the download servers).
********* I tried via Loki_Flash but I indicates this message "Loki about version does not match device" till after I understood that this way of flashing devices is to the MDK basis only.

Oh lordy, please read and search the threads, you already managed to read enough to get as far as you did. You can install Safe Strap, although it is a bit buggy on MI1 from what I have read. No custom recovery option. Just root and debloat and be happy, that is the best route for now. See if 4.4 can bring some new exploits. I was rooted on MI1, I just followed the thread to upgrade to MJ7 and stay rooted. I am not dealing with safe strap, just seems like too much work for a phone that already works great.
Thanks for reply

I really appreciate your prompt response. As you see, I am a new user to this kind of things. But still I seek the opportunity to find the best sources to make these changes on my phone and be lucky with testing ROMs and the best Deployed Apps .... Yes I have read that so far no method for Recovery, but you never know if someone has made work and willing to show how.
I have read about Safestrip, but I see there are errors with the Bootloader, do you think this could work for me?.
BTW Can you please give me more information about "debloat"? Thank you very much my friend.

Yes, actually you do know, because anyone that has made it work will post to XDA that they did it.
Relax. The S4 is a nice phone as it is, enjoy it for now. Pay attention here at your leisure for any new developments if you must.
There's still a huge bounty if someone gets a bootloader unlock. I doubt if somebody figured it out they would turn down a huge chunk of money and not tell anyone about it.
Don't worry, if someone unlocks the bootloader it will be all over XDA.

[Q] Custom ROM for Gigaset QV830

Hello guys,
Has anyone of you started any work or done any research on this cheap, but good tablet?
I'm willing to create a custom ROM for it, but I'm quite new in ROM making area, although I have experience with Linux, software development, etc.
So first of all I would need to root QV830 somehow, then copy current ROM, as there are none available to download, and then play long time with, say, Android 5.1 version and get it working on QV830, if possible.
This thread could be like knowledge base for this device or something.
Where would you recommend to start looking for rooting solution? I could try to create my own rooting app/procedure since I couldn't find anything for QV830 on this matter.
Thank you!
Hi,
I just bought a second-hand QV830 and I am in the same situation as you, wishing to get a custom ROM at hand.
So I thought about making a custom ROM but this is obviously a huge amount of work, especially if you have no experience in that.
From what I understand, one to compile a kernel with the right config. CM seems to have kernel for every device. I don't know if it's just different config or patched ones. Then integration of CM/android.
As for rooting, I simply used framaroot and choose Boromir, I think. Done ! I didn't even fear to brick it as I guess it just works or not. Am I wrong ?
To get a backup of current ROM, you just need to install a custom recovery like CWM with may be RomManager (?) (You don't even need root)

Thank you, zebul666 I managed to get the tablet rooted with Framaroot and Boromir setting, just as you said, but I'm still struggling to backup the current ROM. ROM Manager reboots into boot menu, but there are no backup options, only reboot device and reset ones.
Flashify app backs up current kernel and current stock (both weights 6.0 MB).
Also tried to copy /system folder with ES File Explorer with root permissions, but it always stops copying on run-as file.
Will keep trying, but if/when I will succeed, I have no clue what I'll be doing next
I understood that if you flash CWM with ROM Manager, this new recovery should enable you to make the nandroid backup. Has it failed for you or you did not do it ? I have not.
Now that you have root, you can already directly tweak the setup without custom ROM. For example, i have removed that annoying loud sound when it boots by renaming /system/media/bootaudio.mp3
If you wan to go the custom ROM way, there is tutoriel in this forum on how to compile a kernel and customizer rom

have you or anyone else installed Xsposed framework on these little qv830?
New to this. Any way to get 5.0.2 on this gigaset
Sent from my Gigaset QV830 using XDA Free mobile app
I'm also interested in getting a more recent version of android installed.
Has anyone found anything out about installing a custom recovery yet? I think if that could be established then rom development may begin.

Yes, I have had xposed on this device and it works well but you have to be cautious as to what you do because if you happen to mess it up, the fact that we haven't figured out how to put CWM on you can't flash the xposed recovery zip. So min short yes but be careful.

Anyone figure out how to get cwm or any othe other recovery image omn this thing cause I've got a rooted qv830 that is stuck on the gigaset boot screen and can't get adb or anything to get int o it??? Any help would be appreciated!

Hp 10 g2 help. Is there any custom recovery for this tablet.

I've searched everywhere and can't find a guide to getting a custom recovery on this device. It is rooted using KingRoot unfortunately. I'd like to be able to flash SuperSU,xposed, and maybe a custom ROM. Any help would be great.

[Q]Magisk support for S5??

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.

Updating LS990 ZV4 4.4.2 - Procedure?

Forgive a rather newbie question - been out of the game for a few years as I changed industries for a while. I'm back in IT and need to get my G3 all nice and current. It's not rooted at the moment and is running 4.4.2 - I believe fairly stock. I really love this phone and don't want to brick it and have to buy another so I'm just looking for a quick confirmation that updating it will be pretty straight forward. Getting it rooted would be nice but likely not required for my use.
Thanks for any quick tips you guys can provide and again my thanks.
-Ross
Well I suppose I'll answer my own question as it was rather easy. Here's what I did starting from 4.4.2 (stock)
- Reset device using Settings
- Installed Stump Root and rooted (via brute force)
- Installed TWRP
- Downloaded the unofficial CM 14.1 ROM and Gapps (I did the stock download)
- Flashed TWRP recovery and rebooted into recovery
- Wiped partitions (not MicroUSB or storage)
- Flashed the ROM and GApps
- Done!!
So far all seems to be working fantastic, looking to root it now (which might not be possible...)

If you TWRP working and flashed rom and gapps. Your rooted. Check developer options to enable root. If not there then find magisk zip and mr bump zip. Flash magisk then mr bump.

Then don't contradict yourself....
Sorry, seems we're misunderstanding each other - let me be crystal clear so you won't be confused any longer. Just like the steps say:
- I rooted 4.4.2 to get TWRP installed
- Flashed CM 14.1
- No longer have root
Does that make sense now? I suppose this is what I get for trying to answer my own question in case others are gonna do the same, should have known better I suppose...
