Hey Guys,
If anyone can lead me in the right direction for root once I receive my phone tomorrow I'd appreciate it. If I receive the MI9 build it would be easy but I was wondering if there is a root (and if so please supply the link) for the MJ7 build that recently came out?
Thank you in advance! Appreciate it!
There is an app out there that at the moment is taboo on XDA, as people are nervous about it collecting your phone's IMEI. Plenty of info in the general section along with a thread on their response. Plus the app has a Facebook page. Read up, see what you think, and make a decision
I'm personally waiting it out for now until I see more info. I took the MJ7 OTA to see if it'd help, and it seems to have at least some. I'd like to at least clean up the stock rom but i can live with it a bit longer.

This can root and unroot your device flawlessly.
Find your device
(N9006 works for Verizon as well)
Download the sketchy software.
While downloading this one click root method. And it installs drivers.
Take a look at these two threads.
Realize there is nothing to worry about. And join the thousands of us who are rooted with out any problems on mj7. (Or whatever the ota was. )

So you're saying upgrade to the latest OTA even if phone doesn't come with it and then do this method to root? Do you have this done on yours if you don't mind me asking?
NE5 is up on Samsung opensource!.
EDIT: It's official and includes WiFi calling!
100% stock NE5 ROM/Kernel/Modem Odin flashable tar Thanks to @garwynn (there are faster mirrors within the thread just look!)
Stock rooted Deodexed/Odxed NE5 ROM Thanks to @CNexus
It's rolling out to users as we speak! If you get the OTA please grab it for us (I forget the location of it) and upload it so we can sideload it.

NE5 will be 4.4.2 still.
Hopefully Wifi Calling?
Sounds like the next build of RDDT and/or RODT will have some wi-fil calling, should fix all these non-compatability issues you've been having Joe!

If someone can pull the update file name, I believe the rest of the URL will read like this:

I couldn't even check for it. I clicked 'check now for update' and got a message saying that my OS has been modified in an unauthorized way, lol. I've never seen that before. Usually I can at least download an OTA.
Did anyone get the update yet?

I ended up odin back to stock and still got the modified error with no root. I looked in about and saw my baseband was ncb, and my software was ncd, so you might wanna check that. Also I read someplace that knox software disabled can throw the modified error also

Ha ha. No, no, no. The name will be complex and have lots of random letters in it. That's why we need someone to pull the actual name they get with their OTA.

It's here folks, Lollipop for Verizon's iteration of the LG G Pad 8.3, the VK810 (code name "Altev"). You can start downloading and installing via Settings - System Updates - Check for Updates. I don't have the time to update today, but please tell me how it comes out for you.
Modders, rooters, and ROMans (ROMers?) out there, I'd love to hear if you keep root with OTA Survival Mode or Chuck Norris mode enabled in your super user app (SuperSU, SuperUser, etc...) or if you can find the file ( @roirraW "edor" ehT you seem to be the king of KDZs for our device) to flash via TWRP.
Thumbs up if this post was helpful and don't forget to vote on that poll.
***Reserved for bug reports, issues, and fixes***
I will try to keep this up to date as they come in.
I used the kdz in normal mode and lost root.
I was waiting for someone else to make a centralized thread for issues, so I wouldn't have to maintain it. ?
Under 35A_08, I can't seem to expand notifications in the pulled down notification shade. You can expand them at least on an insecure lock screen (swipe) and it seems that what you expand there are then expanded in the notification shade too. I think this survives a reboot.

Do I need a Verizon SIM in it to pull the OTA?
I've tried both the update button in settings and the "Verizon Wireless Software Upgrade Assistant" PC client.
Tmo SIM doesn't work, VZW does
Fortunately I had an active VZW SIM out of a Galaxy Tab 2.
It asked me to download with it in, and would not let me see it with a T-Mobile SIM. Kept saying I was up to date.
Put the VZW SIM back in and it let me get it. Downloading over WiFi now, just over 600 megs.
Sure they'll gladly send you the OTA with an active VZW SIM, probably hoping you'll use your data allotment to do it...
Typical VZW antics, which is why I'll never use Verizon. MAYBE if someone else paid for it, but I'd resist even then. Worst carrier IMHO except of course their coverage is great. I carry a PagePlus $10/120 days for emergencies, camping, etc.
But I digress...

Previous releases for the VK810 had LG Backup? I'm not saying they didn't, just if they did I never noticed it. Was it (originally) in the same place it is on the G3 (Settings / Backup & Reset)? It is in fact not available there on 35A_08, but I know at some point I looked there on 24A and didn't see it either - unless I only checked after I had debloated it and I took it out by mistake or not knowing.
Was it definitely available on 24A? Curious because on the G3 once I tried it, I noticed it sure was fast and easy, and might not trump Titanium Backup for all purposes, but certainly for my most common uses.

It worked basically the same for me as the other LG devices I've seen (VS980 and V500), but with a different KDZ file of course.

Note: To put your VK810 into download mode, power it off, then hold the volume down button while you plug it into your PC. A small rectangle will appear in the middle of the screen that says "Download Mode".
Worked like a charm for me. yesterday.

You may be right, it is that I use it on my G3s that I assumed it was on the VK810. I use it to transfer files and apps between devices, I remembered that I tried but failed to get Snapdragon Battery Guru to the VK810. Shame it does have it uses.

I thought it was a twrp flash. LG flash tool. Won't you lose root/recovery? I'd like to see a rooted twrp like they do in S5 vzw&art threads. Simple kernel swap..Voila
---------- Post added at 10:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 PM ----------
If nobody posts one soon then I will.
Definitely no LG Backup for the last 3-4 OTAs, but I haven't owned it long enough to speak for the entirety of the software history. I know that this device has been hamstrung by some of the carriers' antics by not including some basics that the flagship phones enjoy like a full feature Quick Remote, the absence of LG Backup (which just may be the best BU short of Titanium), and the exclusion of baked in goodies like Dual Window and adjustable Emersive Mode (hides the nav bar on a per-app basis). I know DW fix can be found, but not sure about the others yet.

Gotcha. Last I checked the SnapDragon Battery Guru wouldn't install from the Play Store on my G3's Lollipop, but I haven't checked lately and I don't recall if I tried just restoring it from Titanium Backup. I'll check again on the G3 and on this device in case it's changed (probably not), thanks for the reminder.

Did anyone get a notification for an update today? The version is "PB1" (LRX21T.G900VVRU2BPB1). It appears to just be a security patch. https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/galaxy-s5-update/ Assuming someone will dump it out, root it, and we'll be able to flash with FlashFire? I've pre-ordered a S7 so I don't know if I'll even try before I ditch this phone.
I'll give it a shot, assuming I can trigger the update.

Update has been downloaded. Now lets see if I can pull it.
I'm currently pulling/uploading the update.zip for @muniz_ri or @jrkruse to look at for us.
Hopefully it can be rooted using the new root method and they can make a ROM or 2 for us.

Does anyone know if it is 5.1? I was just chatting with Samsung they said it was but I updated and it showed it was still 5.0... So did my phone not fully install it or what?
Someone confirm, this appears to update the bootloader and break our root method

I tried multiple times to update to this ROM today, and I failed multiple times lol. I've tried enough for today. I might try again tomorrow.

Several weeks, maybe a month ago one of the android news sites listed the Samsung timetable for the phones that would get it. It wasn't carrier specific but rather device specific and the S5 is slated for a May release from Sammy according the article I read.
Hi everyone,
I have just bought a refurbished S7 edge from eBay and it turns out it is an American AT&T handset. It is unlocked and works with my GiffGaff Sim card but I have a few questions I'm hoping y'all could help me with (joke - I'm not American!)
The phone is full of AT&T bloatware and other stuff, can I get rid of it so that I have a clean, unaffiliated phone? I would rather not root it if possible as I'm not really that tech savvy.
Certain features, such as WiFi calling, don't work as they require a live AT&T account, which I don't have. Can I bypass this?
The other thing I'm worried about is whether or not I'll be able to receive any OTA updates? It feels a bit like I'm in limbo with this phone!
Thanks.
There's a guide here to install g935u firmware. I did it and it has zero bloatware. Also I'm in Ireland and the at&t firmware wasn't getting 4g in a lot of places, but with the u firmware I get it everywhere I would with a European handset.
