Hello,
I have a question? Yesterday I have updated my Samsung Galaxy S5 to Lollipop 5.0. I was very happy until I have discovered some issues. For example the silence mode is not available any more. After a lot of searching on the net, I have discovered that I have found out that I can use the "Do not disturb" mode. So that issue was solved.
But I also have found out that my Adblock Plus is not working anymore on this firmware? Does anyone know why it is not working on the Lollipop 5.0?
Is there an other option or tool to block Ads in Chrome and web browsers and apps?
My phone is not rooted and I have no experience with this. Is it risky to root my phone? And what are the benefits of rooting?
Is it true that if you root your phone, you can unroot it, but there is always a history in the system that you can see that the phone was rooted?
Thank you very much.

Hello
My S4 got lollipop this weekend, (I9506XXUDOA6) and i want to root it without tripping knox. Is there any way to do this? Ive tryed towelroot or kingoroot but nothing worked
thanks in advance
I'm not 100% sure, but I don't believe you can downgrade the Android 5.0.1 modem to an earlier version and root using Towelroot. CF Autoroot still works, but it will trip Knox.
Yes thats the case.. I dont want to trip knox and i wont try to downgrade the modem.. Ok maybe patience is what i need
Im just facing some curious lags on my phone that have no sense... For example in the recent apps, on facebook, on messenger, and on swiftkey keyboard.. But i have to admit that battery is at its best. On kitkat with normal use, the phone was dead for about 20 hours, and now on lollipop for about 2 and a half days i guess? Does anyone know how to fix those lags or minimize them?
My main concern, and something I'll have to do further research into, is whether I'd lose my SIM unlock on an upgrade. I used RegionLock Away to unlock my S4 after repairing it. The unlock survived the restoration of Android 4.4.2, but I have my concerns as to whether it would survive an upgrade to 5.0.1. Especially as downgrading the modem apparently is not possible.
It might simply be easier for me to find a custom Touchwiz ROM and install it instead, but there aren't many of them as of yet.
Can anyone confirm that there is no way to saferoot a s4 lte-a with official lollipop?
Can someone point me to the latest and greatest stock update for SM-G900V and possible the how to???
Currently running OC4 /w tether addon (tether is a must)
Saw OD5 has video calling issues and I need that feature
Heard B0E1 is the newest but don't see anything on it.
Thanks for any help. I don't root often so I loose track of how I do it safely and never remember to bookmarks the guides I use.
So I recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy S5, and I thought it would be nice and all. And it was without a doubt nice. However, I want to revert back to how things were before the device was rooted. I've tried using Super SU's "Unroot" feature, Kingo's Unroot feature, and several others. However, when I go to software update in the settings, it still says that my device has unauthorised software changes and it will not update. I know that are no updates available for it right now. I only checked, hoping to have it say that I have the latest version installed to reassure me that the root is removed, but it still shows up. Anyone help? Please?

Unfortunate if you root in Samsung devices it trips the Knox 0x0 counter

i have thhe s5 g900f and i followed this tutorial to unroot it worked great for me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoHGJl2FBpA
It's been a while since I've had a Samsung phone, but I recently purchased this S7 second-hand specifically since there is a root method for this phone. I've been reading up for a week, but before I dive in, I'm hoping some of our knowledgeable folks here can help me avoid any irreversible mistakes.
The phone is currently on 6.0.1, October 2016 security update. Is there any reason i shouldn't update to 7.0?
Assuming I do update to 7.0, should I do it first (before root), or do I just flash the engineered boot and the firmware I want? Can I downgrade to 6.0.1 after going to 7.0 if I choose?
I understand there is no custom recovery available, but that I can use Flashfire. Is there any way to use Magisk instead of SuperSU?
Can I use Xposed?
Will altering system in any way trip KNOX? Is there any way to delete system apps (instead of disabling)? Can I move a user app to a system app? (This is the primary reason I'm interested in Magisk, btw.)
As I said, I've done a lot of reading, but couldn't easily find definitive answers to these questions for this particular phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Same Questions, essentially same reasons...

In your reading, and posts/ IRL that have come after yours, have you come up with answers to these questions? I recently fell into one of these phones also on VZW, and am not used to locked everything/ bootloader.
You have discontinued roms that run on 6.0 but other then that there's no real difference in the 2 other then you can't hoo back to 6.0 once updated
