[Q] Is there a way to root MK2 yet?

Like the title says. Also if there is, what ROMs would work. Because I remember that when I was rooted on MF3 that not all ROMs worked with it. Sorry if it's a stupid question. I appreciate all helpful and/or useful answers!

Yes, you can root. Take a look at this thread.

Very easy.
No ROMs at this point because safestrap doesn't work with MK2.

Think so? Hmmmm. Wonder how I'm on mk2 running darthstalker X 4.3 then?

@DevilDog512 I stand corrected. What did you have to do to get that working?

Safestrap 3.70 in the android development section. Have only flashed this rom so far but have 0 issues. There's a kernelmodules.zip in that thread too that you flash just like you've been doing on 3.65. Can't adjust the system partition size but I don't use more than rom slot 1 anyway so no big deal to me. I'm sure it'll be fixed when it becomes official. Maybe today or tomorrow, but it's damn close to being ready.

Thanks!
Thanks everyone! I appreciate it very much! But I have one more question. (I know this is sort of a noob question and I apologize in advanced) How does one flash a kernel? I have never needed to do it before. Do you use Odin?

You flash a kernel through recovery (not stock recovery) either cwm or safestrap.

Read up on the forums or you'll be using Odin all right. I would not flash any 4.3 roms if you don't know what you're doing. Use Xposed with wanam till safe strap can be perfected.

I just used Odin today. I'm on mk2 but I installed safestrap 3.70 and had darthstalker but decided I didn't really like it much.. Installed the modules and went back to stock ROM but it felt like my 4g download speeds were slow less than 1mb. So I odin the mf3 recovery files than side loaded back to mk2 because I tried factory resetting and 4g wasn't working that good.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium

I used the update.zip in Stock recovery to go from mf3 to mk2. Not sure how that'll work out if i screw something up. I have the mf3 stock tar files and hash has said he has mk2 tars. I figure there's enough out there to get me back up. I tried flashing every ge rom i could find to no avail. Apparently it's pretty hit or miss right now. I read that they may have found a way to flash some custom kernels on mf3. The same day i upgrade. Hopefully they can get that sorted out and we can pretend like we own our $500 phones.

S6 Edge cleanest 5.1.1 Stock rom g925f? De-bloated?

Hello, hopefully I'm posting in the right place.
Basically I'm looking for a rom which is as close to stock as possible just without any bloatware at all, I basically want stock but without any pre-installed apps (ok with samsung stock apps s planner clock messaging ect)
My phone is currently on 6.0.1 sixperience rooted but that still has some koreans thing in there that annoy me so I'd rather go back to 5.1.1.
Would be great if someone could point me to one like this and hopefully a tutorial too as I'm very new. Thanks for your help.

The xtresolite cutom rom is stock without the bloatware if there is anything you need for it there are flashable zips to restore them.

Xstrestolite is the quickest one indeed and wothout bloat.

That one looks good thanks, It says stock but debloated and a few nice tweaks, I'm currently on 6.0.1 sixperience with custom recovery, is it just a case of putting the rom onto my phone storage going into the recovery and doing a full wipe then flashing the rom? I would I be better off going back to 5.1.1 stock?
Thank again for your help in advance, I'm very new and only really got to 6.0.1 with a step by step guide.

That one doesn't look like stock? Wicken one has like a blue theme and stuff.
The xtresolite one looks good but I don't really know where to start, I already have sixperience and custom recovery on 6.0.1 installed but used a step by step guide.
How do I go about getting the rom installed from here? Also Do i need the 2.4a add on?

Yeah I'm currently on 6.0.1 Sixperience which is a korean port, I only really got there as I followed a tutorial on youtube that was step by step didn't really know what I was doing. The sixperience Rom is fast and debloated but it still has some korean elements which annoy me so I wanted to go to a 5.1.1 rom that was debloated and fast, I'm not sure what I have to do to get it now as I've flashed a bootloader and stuff, I was thinking I could just go back to stock 5.1.1 and go from there, hopefully flashing to stock will get rid of any bootloader I installed. Any idea on how to get from 6.0.1 to the xerolite one?

Idk if you are able to go back unless the mm port you did was a custom rom only

You can root by installing TWRP using ODIN.

Updated my phone (which is not on Sprint Network as I live outside US) and must say, I'm quite impressed. There are no noticible UI changes but the system feels more snappier than before. I guess the Doze settings have been worked too because of which battery life has improved a tad bit.

Anyone know what Sprint meant by "Resolution to lock screen production issue"?

How can i root if i have this current version can anyone help me?

Flash TWRP with ODIN and then flash SuperSU zip through that recovery.

Do you guys capture the download link?

Does anyone have a link to download it. I would prefer to not have to put my phone back to full stock to get to then reroot and set my phone back up.

Used to get lock ups/crashes every day on MM until this update. Haven't had a crash since PG1 flashed. Maybe that's what
"Resolution to lock screen production issue"
meant.

Hot-spot mods of previous builds will not work. If you want, you can use pdanet or FoxiFi for it (no need of a rooted phone).
For Xposed, you can flash the zip available on XDA but you will require root for it.

PG1 source code isnt out, so developers will be behind still.

Well you gave me hope and i found some site called devlab that had a tutorial with comments. In the comments i seen mention of an 85.1 alt version that a few were able to install. Short story : I got it installed and im happy on pe2 using the alt version

86 updated version works best. And is newest.

With a size of 477 it's probably just a security update, but my phone is running nice and smooth after the update. Probably just a placebo effect.

Not sure my phone can live though an update to Nougat. It took 6 months before Google fixed the random reboots on MM (PG1 was the first really stable ROM). PH1 runs fine, just keep the security updates coming a while longer.

Can anyone confirm, that this update doesn't mess up the wifi tethering mod.

No. You have to be on the official unrooted and completely unmodified stock rom with stock recovery for it to work.

Can someone upload this?

Where did you get hotspot mod from? I didn't find any PG1 hotspot mod. I am running PG1 stock debloated rom by saintz.

I still have hotspot mod from before marshmallow 6.0 update ##data# with msl code. After marshmallow the fields to edit are now greyed out. Mine is still intact on stock rom.

The battery life on this particular update is horrible. PG1 was the best update till date by Samsung on Marshmallow.
For guys on PG1, my suggestion would be not to update to PH4.
Also, PG1 has the best signal reception & voice quality.

You most likely would have to wipe your data. Usually you can't downgrade between versions, especially major versions (7>6). Both smart switch and oden will wipe data.

The Material Black from Samsung works OK for me still. Joy UI was crashing all over the place

All of my purchased themes worked fine. Only problem is that a lot of my themes are dark or black and the text in the status bar being black in N wasn't visible.
Odin'd back to the U firmware to get some light themes and check my signal issues then I'll go back to N

Just upgraded from Marshmallow to Nougat and I lost my ability to use FoxFi. Unfortunately my wife and I rely on it for our at-home Wi-Fi. Now, I am an EXTREME newb, when it comes through this stuff, but my question is how can I go about downgrading from nougat back to marshmallow without losing all my data, and if that's not possible, how can I back it up and then later restore it to the phone. I need someone to walk me through this step by step and hold my hand like I'm a toddler. Here's a little info.
