Have we obtained root? Can I help?

Do we need help getting root on this phone, or is everything the same as the international version? I have my phone in hand, if anyone needs system dumps or anything like that.

Same. i have all the dumps and source on my pc and my phone in hand. LETS DO THIS :cyclops:

Root that $h!t and let us know how it goes. Also, see if the CWM Recovery for the international will work

I have rooted a test unit, wonder if the retail unit is as easy
PM me if you have one and want it rooted.

No, because then who are the dumb a$$es going to blame and bug if it does not work, or breaks something.
Not a smart idea for a dev to post something that they are not sure of, and possibly have people lose faith in that developer. I know as a dev I would not post ANYTHING, that I was not sure if it worked or not. Even if I did it on a test unit, and not a retail phone.

Send me the stock boot image please so I can root it.
Mark.

Unless you're going to install a custom ROM, it's not as important anymore to root these phones.
The SIII lets you uninstall [disable] almost any stock app you want.
After disabling a ****-load of stock apps, I am getting awesome battery & performance from my S III.
I'd like to see some theming and custom ROM's and overclocking though of course.

Eh, that's debateable. In the end it boils down to what you want to do with the device. For me? I want root so I can reinstall Cerberus to the System folder so even if someone wipes my phone, I can still track it. Can't do that without root.

Actually most of the AT&T stuff can be disabled. The only thing I really can't disable is AT&T Address Book. Other than that? Every AT&T App (all 5 of them) was able to be disabled.....so I'm not sure what you speak of.

Yea, this is actually the first AT&T Smartphone where I haven't cursed them out for the amount of bloatware installed. Granted I did immediately load Apex Launcher to tide me over until I can install CM9. I hate how touchwiz looks, but that's not AT&T, that's Samsung. This thing honestly speeds along, especially with websites. I'm also apparently in an LTE test area.....with a piss poor signal I was pulling about a 20mbit download and 13 mbit upload. I have to say, it's faster and more responsive than my GSII with CM9. That's impressive considering it is running TW.
Also from looking at his posts he did order it....so he could be using the GNex until he can. Though this pretty much is the GNex....just not running stock Android.

Can you explain how such a thing could cause such a failure?

Its looking to update something that isn't there. When it doesn't find it, the update doesn't know what to do, so it fails.

He is correct about this. If you delete or remove anything system wise make sure you have a back up copy. Come time for an update and that file is not there, it will most likely fail. Make sure you take note of the file permissions also.

This was really simple to delete but what a mistake as I actually want to run it from time to time. If no one can give me a way to download it I will be forced to reset my device as new.
I don't really want to do this but I will if necessary. Live and learn.

SYSTEM Updates do not look after apps present BUT ONLY THE DEVICE SPECIFIC SERIAL NUMBER AND VERSION NUMBER !
System updates do NOT look after specific apps to be present or not.
After major complete updates all system apps disabled are reinstalled and have to be deactivated again .

Hard (factory) reset won't bring any files back. An update however, or a reflash of original ROM will do the trick.
To all saying that removing system files will fail OTA: Stop posting stuff you know nothing about. It's better to shut up rather than guessing.

So if I hit reset and wipe everything it won't restore the tablet like it was when I got it out of the box? You're kidding right! Every other tablet / phone I've ever owned will do so.
I guess I'll just have to back up some data to test this out.

This has been a proven case with the transformer series. So I would say we know nothing about. We are just stating that it could. I don't believe anyone stated that it would for sure.

Had the same thing happen with the rezound. If the bloatware was removed it failed to update. If it didn't have the stock recovery it failed to update. Again differences between OEMs as has been stated with Asus having done the something.

Deleting the screensaver app should not cause the ota to fail. Otherwise Samsung wouldn't allow that action to be performed so easily without root. Put it this way... if you can go into manage apps and click uninstall chances are it's not system critical.

i was one of the lucky ones who got the update directly from Nokia Software Updater for Retail it was really nice.. the hit though is we lost some camera quality..

Love this update;
Call Blocking
Storage Checker [That Works]
Data Sense [Data Traffic App]
Mostly fixed "other" storage issue
Camera quality is easily fixed by setting the iso to 200 or up btw.

Does it wipes all user data (contacts/pics/app settings etc)? If "yes" why you called it "lucky"?
P.S. I definitely can wait for the OTA.

first, i have all contacts, settings and app list backed up so i dont worry at all. pics? those are stored on my SD, flashing wont delete them,. i say "lucky" coz the leak version is same as the official one. "lucky" as i got it early.plain simple.

Seriously, you've never heard of Skydrive?

App settings and data can't be backed up to SkyDrive unless the app itself implemented that feature. Nearly three years since release and MS still hasn't implemented this basic functionality. It's kind of atrocious and makes hard resets / phone wipes from flashing much worse than they would otherwise be.

does this update remove lock from 810 tmobile?

Lock is intact, does full wipe, settings stored by SkyDrive are restored on login to ms. Update goes smooth enough and call block works as well as the storage check app.

As to how bad the backup of settings is androids not much better being a hit or miss process too. Don't expect perfection when no perfect Os can be used to compare too. It took all of two minutes to have my phone back up and running with my settings as they were.

Windows 10 can be tricky. I've had issues in the past issuing any commands to DL mode with Windows 10. This dates back to using my G2. I got it to work this last time trying, but you might have to use another OS if you can't get it to work.

I'm rooted on the US Cellular US991 10c. After a few hours of installing apps, killing bloatware, tweaking the ui, and setting my dpi to 540 I'm also enjoying better battery life and, for some reason, I'm not heating up nearly as much as before I root. Loving it.

Got a chance to get it done. Easy peasy. WOOHOO. Thanks again to all.

What is the last version that still can get root?
I'm on MM 20a.

I believe it's 10D that can still get root.

xda labs thinks my 1+5 is a 1+1?

As the title states! What is happening with the phone I'm using? Lol.
I'm using RR unofficial!
By all accounts it's a 1+1? Haha.
Also I've paid for the XDA premium app which is pretty much useless now!
What happened?

You know you can manually change it in settings

click one the "OnePlus 5". All the OnePlus devices will pop up, and select OnePlus 5.

It's because you restored the app data from a OnePlus One backup. Wipe XDA app data and it should pick up the correct values.

Happened to me too, just change the My Phone options in the settings.

Might give that a try. Cheers

Like others have mentioned, you can manually select OP5 as your device. The latest test build (opt in through Settings) has an updated device lib though and should detect your device. A new updated beta will be out tonight (supporting the op5) for what it's worth.
Let me know if it's not. Feel free to drop by the Labs telegram and ping me. You can check your model number against the device name here at the open source Device Registry.

Wonderous info! Great post!

Like others have mentioned, you can manually select OP5 as your device. The latest test build (opt in through Settings) has an updated device lib though and should detect your device. A new updated beta will be out tonight (supporting the op5) for what it's worth.
Let me know if it's not. Feel free to drop by the Labs telegram and ping me. You can check your model number against the device name here at the open source Device Registry.

Nah it did work, just clicked and changed I just found it odd that it didn't do it from the off.
All good now cheers mate. :good:
PS: the XDA app is one of the few social apps I do actually use, I have used the browser in the past but it's not as efficient for use as the app.

Aye it's decent enough fella, be nice to select text on the fly though or to share a specific post via its actual line number.
Ways around it though I suppose.
In regards to power consumption, it's not anywhere near the top of my battery hog list so I'm not too worried about that.

Aye, unfortunately sharing by post line would mean we'd have to use some kind of complex anchor system since each person's device (or PC) could show different text depending on the resolution, etc.
As for copying text, we had to get rid of inline long press due to an Android bug. Instead you can long press on a post and select copy text, then copy from the dialog that pops up.

It's because you restored the app data from a OnePlus One backup. Wipe XDA app data and it should pick up the correct values.
