PE1 effed up my note 4 bad I am hoping this fixes it. texting and using multiple apps caused freezing even after hard wipe re-install on stock rom it was some major BS....

Pe2 is smooth but nothing works xposed wise.... Nothing. Gravity box xtouchwiz 5f one. None work.

Is root at least working on it? I couldn't get root working on it and was stuck on the boot screen so I restored my phones backup (PE1). Guess I need to wait till root and xposed is working before I take the update again.

I had PE1 running on Chainfires autoroot it was fine. but the stock rom was effed still so i was in wait an see mode or I was going to flash to a different rom but I needed something stable since I used the phone for work...
PE2 is ok so far have yet to try root. I think I will attempt after work though.

Pe2 roots fine if you dont care about knox. Xposed installs. No modules work

curious on how you guys updated? did you just unroot and take the ota or tar?
Edit: well i decided to use the Odin tar method, and its just an update not a full system I lost root but i was able to get it back and reinstall TWRP and the latest su I use cf-autoroot latest for root, i didnt lose anything but backup just incase.

Hmmm seems like the next monthly update is overdue

i have strange issue, i'm not sure it's from last update, when i back to pe2 stock with odin and then install twrp, after i installed many custom roms i had an issue never happen before, with every custom rom when someone call me mu N4 don't ring and answer automaticly, and those roms works before without this problem, any idea???

Happened to my phone too it actually got bricked from PE1. I think they did something fishy to root users to fry their phones.

yea well I went to sprint with my phone to see what the guy would say he saw knox tripped didnt doing anything to fix it said Samsung will not fix whats wrong with the phone even if I had insurance on the line (which I added when my phone acted up to see if they would fix it... there is a way to add it if you had not previously had it...)
Anyways the guy was cool about it told me to go find a clean phone with a cracked screen and he'd swap the board out for me. He also told me that insurance was giving out Note 5's for the broken 4's for just the deductible. So the cost of a broken 4 was not working out I just got a new note 5 instead .... Huge pain in the a$$.
Note 5 sucks cause it does not have expandable memory or removable battery..
I want to root my 5 but I dont want to trip knox the guy at sprint mentioned to me custom recovery images do not trip the knox if I do it in the smart switch app. have yet to look for rooted recovery roms tho.

then is it possible to unlock for free without root?
I just got a new SGSII and I don't want to have a big yellow exclamation mark my current one has
Then buy a £2 MicroUSB "jig" from eBay - that will clear it.
what do you mean "unlock without root?"
also there is a solution to exclamation mark if you flash custom kernels.

No you need root.
Flash CF root, then flash back your stock kernel, you will still have root but without the yellow warning triangle.

No need to, just make a note of what kernel you're using, then download it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
1. It is not possible to root without flashing kernal
But you can update firmware to newest one via ODIN
2. You can unlock without rooting... Its called paying for the unlock code
Free is only through rooting
3. And why have you got another one if you already have a SGS2 ??????
Is that you are hooked on to rooting and bricking

If you gotten a new SGS2, should that not have come with the latest firmware version of that phone, in such a case, would rooting with CF-root not be better?

go to applications > settings > phone information
and note down the kernel version. (look at the KE, KF1/2/3 etc)
and compare that to the ones in that topic. Pick the one that is like it, or almost like it.

but since I've already changed the kernel thru odin wont that information already be skewed?
Well if you didn't note down your stock kernel and flashed a completely different one into it, then you have a problem. Im still very much new to android systems and XDA. (i registed today, but I lurked and read and researched for several days)
But, I think you can just grab one of the latest ones but I think some more experienced users here can give you a better answer on that matter.

Just updated the kernel maybe, to patch issue used by towel root.
can anybody please post if they see frequent reboots on this build.

I was getting a ton of reboots (basically everytime I turned the screen on) after I rooted. I just took this update last night and now I haven't had a reboot and everything is working great. At least as stable as the ND3 version or probably more so.
I get Ann occasional reboot now, on nd3. I am rooted but still have a 0 Knox counter so I am staying right where I'm at. Seems the only reason for the update is to close the exploit. No thanks.

Is it confirmed that NG1 renders TowelRoot ineffective? I have not tried to root yet. I'm not ready to spend the time required after rooting to install Xposed and RootCloak and her that all configured like I would need.

Cool. Thanks for the info.
I'm getting the update notification now as well (in US). Quick question though - I rooted via towelroot, do I need to do/undo/redo anything to retain root? I keep cancelling the update for now as I don't want to muck anything up.

Well, I don't know. I haven't seen any report yet on whether TowelRoot even still works on NG1. It probably does, but until someone uses it to successfully root an NG1 device, we won't know for sure.
If I were you, I'd probably install Voodoo OTA RootKeeper and run that before accepting the OTA. Then, if you do lose root, you could try just re-rooting with TowelRoot and post back here to let us know if that works. If it doesn't, then you could try to use RootKeeper to restore root.
But, if you are the first one to try it, there will always be the risk that you will lose root and not be able to get it back...

Towelroot does not work after updating to NG1, but CF Auto Root does.
I got NG1 today too (was on ND3 previously, unrooted)
I know the update notification talked about Kids Mode but i don't know where that's enabled,because nothing new in Settings menu.
So basically, it looks exactly like ND3 to me. which is fine, because ND3 was fine for me.
Just picked up a Tab Pro 8.4 from the BestBuy sale, first thing I noticed was that an update is available. I want a root method that does not trip Knox so I did not install the update yet, waiting to hear if TowelRoot will work but I have a feeling it will not.
Looked on there website and they are clear that this will work on kernel versions prior to June 2014 and they haven't updated that date yet.

My tab on the latest version constantly reboots at random. It's not an actual manual reboot because it cycles through without that startup music and it's slightly faster. Feels more like a restart of the android system files. Or something.
Anyone have a workaround?

Are you rooted and have you used Supersu to disable knox? I found I had a lot of random reboots when using Supersu to disable knox. Root works fine without disabling it and I have not had anymore random reboots.

Curious anyone else downgrading?

Just out of curiosity if anyone else is downgrading back to 4.4.4. I honestly miss having Xposed Frameworks, I know its a matter of time but not being able to use some of the features is super annoying. I know at the moment there is no workaround for the Touchwiz framework issues and Xposed on 5.0, but if you are sticking with android L how are you dealing with not having Xposed? My biggest issue is with not being able to change DPI on an app basis and not the whole UI. Please feel free to comment on why you like Kitkat or Lollipop, thanks
Never upgraded to begin with, never will until Xposed for Lollipop on touchwiz comes out. Xposed is just too useful.

I too am a dirty girl when it comes to my love of Xposed. I stayed off of LP until today. I installed CM12 5.0.02 and on NK2 today and wasn't stopping until I got everything right. Now I have Xposed and most of my mods,which is great because touch wiz runs with horrible lag,takes up a lot of Ram and what have you. I can live without every touch wiz feature but Xposed is a must!
Lollipop and no problems here.
I was on lollipop for almost a month. The benefits of 5.0 did not make up for the hit on battery life. Back to KitKat & xposed (w/greenify & amplify). I will probably try tx_dbs_tx's rom when it is completed, but I'm thinking some 5.1 is what we really need.
How did you guys downgrade? By only flashing the modem, etc and staying on 4.4.4 bootloader? I tried ODIN 4.4.4 .tar but i messed up n took the update stock unrooted
I also was on LP since its release, to me it did feel smoother battery life was about the same but i just went back to nk2 yesterday and plan to also stay untill xposed is working on LP.

I wouldn't recommend flashing the full TAR. If you'd like a guarantee to get back, I'll be making separate flashables.
for example i'll just rip apart the tar and make an odin flashable of everything except the bootloader.

Like many rooted users that are contemplating returning the S7 due to locked bootloader, they, like you, retain a flashable rooted device.
I think Samsung just ruined a good thing for this community. I had hoped for a rooted Note 6 one day soon, but losing all hope. Samsung says the carriers wanted locked bootloaders. Sprint and T-Mobile deny that claim. They should get a room and work that out!

What Samsung has done in the past with kernels and recovery is child's play compared to the locked bootloader. It would take a vulnerability exploit or a signed key unlocked bootloader to root that unless Samsung reverses its position. They just don't own mistakes that way. Even if it's a path to destruction, Samsung will march on like a soldier.
I personally think they've come to a place where they can willingly accept the loss of a few that can't do without root. Sad; Sprint and T-Mobile claim Samsung did this. Samsung claims all carriers in US wanted locked bootloaders.

Just for what it's worth, my moto DX2 was rootable via an exploit of charging mode however to this day the bootloader remains locked down. A locked bootloader is no joke.
Also flashed the PC1 baseband via odin have to say it looks like my connectivity had improved markedly.

I could careless about the bootloader if they get root though. Which they have done before. Root but locked bootloader...I don't really modify much other then remove some stupid bloat and add in xposed for Amplify+Greenify. I can live without those things. I'd just like to be able to ditch the bloatware.

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"?

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.

You can skip updates with Odin. PG1 has been the best MM update to date for me.
Improved battery and Wi-Fi Calling for me.
