I rooted my phone just fine and installed xposed but when it came time to install the firmware it wouldnt work. My phone is a samsung galaxy s7 edge from verizon sm-g935v running on 6.0.1 can anyone please post the links to re root my phone due to I uninstalled supersu in my panic and then the links and a very quick step by step on how to install xposed and the framework? If needed I can pay a little bit for your time. also when it comes to the framework can you tell me what one I download due to there are multiple when ever I click on the link and I cant tell the difference. If it would help we can talk on skype. Please tell me if this is against the rules as I can edit this post to remove any part of it that is against them. I really need the help haha thanks for reading this.
Yeah I had same version as you but went to 935U because Verizon apps doesn't come with that (you can install some Verizon apps at Google play). Mine is non rooted though because the roots really kill battery at the moment.
Anyways I would do this if you want to root:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...de-flashing-sm-935u-firmware-verizon-t3415145 follow ALL directions so you can have a better experience. Also tells you how to install xposed/framework. As far as twrp if you are using US version which I believe you are you might have some trouble installing it. I'm sure someone can help you out with Twrp though.

Hi guys,
as the title says I need to root my Canadian Note 3 Lollipop 5.0 N900W8 (N900W8VLU2DOC4).
So far I saw this post, do you think it will work before I even try out because I am scared to brick my phone.
Any help with files links are appreciated. I know chainfire haven't come up with 5.0 for Canadian note 3. Please help if there is any other alternative to root it.
Thank you all!!!
I can confirm that I flashed TWRP on a stock 5.0 N900W8 (Bell) via Odin, but I did not root. I tried, but the SuperSU I installed didn't take. If I had seen the post you linked to, I would have tried that file, though.
For me, without Xposed, I don't see a reason to root. Maybe once they get a functional non alpha version up and going I might go back. I just disable and hide the bloat.
I used Xposed before too, so you saying Xposed doesn't work with Note 3 Lollipop rooted ?
Moreover I wish someone can input more to this thread to atleast I can root it for now and then when Xposed become compatible I will install that.
My main reason to root is to install Adblocker via Xposed framework.
Thanks

According to the official Xposed thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
"Known issues:
- It seems to boot loop on Samsung stock ROMs"
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news... But they are working on it. If it's that important you can always try a different ROM
Thanks for the reply!, I guess after rooting I can always goto another custom ROM, but will miss touchwiz.
All I want to accomplish is good adblocking, which I found xposed did good job.

So, there isn´t a safe way yet to root the n900w8? I have this version, but I'm from Mexico, my bootloader is N900W8UBU2DOE4, I don't know if this makes a difference about the rooting process...
Hope you can help me.
Regards
N900w8vlu2doc4
I had some memory issue and had to do an update, which took out my root as well. I can't root it either. :crying:
Hey everyone, I've been completely out of the loop for about a year now as far as updating and rooting is concerned, so if somebody could help me out I'd really appreciate it! I have a rooted Verizon galaxy S5 with Kit Kat 4.4.2, and it seems like Lollipop is now available to the S5. I haven't gotten any updates from Verizon or any other source for my phone for about a year now because I wanted to keep root and I know that updating often kills root. I literally disabled/froze all the Verizon updater apps with Titanium backup.
So what I want to know is what is the newest android version I can update to and still keep root, and what is the process of updating to ensure that I still maintain root permissions? Also, I use the xposed framework, so will that continue to work? I might have a custom recovery, I'm not sure but I can check if it matters.
Thanks so much for anyone's help.

Thanks man, would you recommend updating to lollipop? Is it a better version of Android in your opinion?
For me, it's much better, for others it's worse
I've switched back to KK to test, and I lasted 10 minutes before flashing back to Lollipop, much smoother, faster, and better looking IMO
I've found root methods for previous versions of lollipop for the AT&T variant S5 Active but it seems to me that there may not be a method for the most up to date firmware. Has anyone successfully rooted the S5 Active on OF3 firmware? If so please enlighten me!
I've been searching for a few weeks now. While out of town, I found a tweet for srsroot that said OF3 IS now supported. However, I have not tried it yet.
The tweet went a little something like this: #SRSRoot: samsung SAMSUNG-SM-G870A (Build: LRX21T.G870AUCU2BOF3) #Android 5.0 Now Supported...
I hope it's real; I'm going to try it tonight. Good luck
Tell me how that goes, and send me a link to it after! Thanks clubfalco
I tried it out and it said the root was successful, but I still don't have root privileges. I'm going to try it again to make sure there isn't something I'm missing. If I can get it to work I'll send the link.
I tried srsroot as well to no avail. Tried two separate times and it said root successful, but after installing SuperSU and superuser (separately) no root... I'll keep trying I suppose. Happy with the phone regardless
I'm bookmarking this to keep abreast. I've been impatiently waiting for somebody to fix this problem. I love my AT&T S5 Active, but it is in need of warranty replacement. Nothing that hinders the phone function too much, but I want it fixed eventually. However if I send it in they will give me a Lollipop build (OF3). Mine currently runs 4.4.4. I don't care about 5.0. I just need my root. If I could get a KitKat replacement I would.
I can't send it in for replacement until somebody figures this out.
You could contact Samsung and see if there is any way for them to make sure you're sent a replacement without the latest update. Also, as you may already know, make sure you unroot and make it so you will be able to get the replacement. Warranties are typically voided with root... Good luck! I will keep this thread updated if I find a fix.
New to rooting - last phone was done successfully and golden - this new phone, not so much - any luck
I've been looking for a few weeks and haven't found a way to root my S5 Active. I'm running OF3 and nothing seems to work. KingRoot KingoRoot SRSRoot all the ones that come up with S5 and S5 active. Has anyone figured this out get? Using Odin to downgrade to AFE 5.0 gives a fused binary error for SW check so I'm stuck on 5.0 >
Is there still no method to root a S5 active on Android 5.0 at&t stuff drive me mad, I'm not on a contract just want the phone without junk on it.
Many thanks
So I am trying to install xposed installer. Long story short after hours of trying to install one thing after another just to be able to install the next thing in this list of instructions, I am stuck.
I aparently need to deodex this phone. I'm using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2374008
xUltimateV2.3.3 is apparently what I need.
I downloaded the newest version because the link to the old one in that thread doesn't work and the new version doesn't see my phone for some reason.
any thoughts?
Installed Java developer, then Android SDK, Now I need to get this part installed and I am stuck.
Do you have the Samsung drivers installed?
Yes sir, i do
never mind got the deodex i think
I purchased this phone a while ago and I have Straight Talk and don't have any updates of any kind through it since around September. I'm assuming it's because the phone is not directly with Verizon. I've rummaged through everything and seen the possibility and instructions for installing the update.zip onto the SD card and trying to manually install it but the install fails saying it's trying to find a newer version of the installed software.
I currently have G935VVRS4APH1 on the phone and it's looking for a newer version of the software. Is there any way I can work around this?
My last phone had CyanogenMod and I enjoyed it (RIP) but I'm not really all too keen on dealing with rooting and installing a ROM on this phone because... it works. It works now... but it's about the security concerns and about newer features.
Any help?
with straighttalk you will never get updates you will always have to do them manually with odin heres the link for the files you need https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/odin-stock-nougat-firmware-t3570156
you can use either the Samsung U-variant(less bloatware) or the normal Verizon both should work fine just flash it through odin
