Been a nexus user for a while till I sold it last year to get the s7 but I recently came back to the 6p, and my question is, will rooting it cause that bootloop of death some people been getting? I'm not under warranty since I bought it off a friend so I wanna b very cautious when proceeding to rooting and changing roms. Any help is appreciated

Many people are getting the BOD on stock with the bootloader locked. Rooting has nothing to do with the BOD

Well, I have switched ROMs about 4-5 times this week itself. Started off by going to 6.0.1 from 7.1.1 without any issues. Also flashed EX and franco kernels a couple of times. As for root, it has never been a problem. If flashing SuperSU causes bootloop, then the simple fix is to reflash the ROM or restore a Nandroid backup.
Don't get skeptic when you have a Nexus :good: If there is going to be a major issue at all, then it can only be an hardware failure. :highfive:

Hi I've had this Exynos Note 3 for a month now and I love it, best device all around that I've ever used. But I've found myself in a bit of a situation, since 4 days ago the phone have been rebooting at random times, it first started with the original rom it came with but rooted and it started with like one reboot a day, then I updated to the MJ7 version and it started rebooting almost every ten minutes for no reason. So I decided that maybe it was time for some Custom ROM love so yesterday I installed the Popurri ROM but while charging I've already experienced the first reboot.
Has someone experienced this kind of situation or someone have any idea of what I can do. Take in count that warranty is not an option because it was an import thanks to my carrier not getting the phone (thanks Telcel Mexico for the exclusive agreement with this phone, jackasses)

find out if it has because if it has you might have the kernel setting wrong, what can make the phone reboot

Well it has, it says in his thread that its a custom kernel but the only modifications are with the selinux part dissactivated and some .xml mods nothing really crazy going there
Hey guys, i have question regarding the deepsleep issue that a lot of people have with the s6 edge + after root. I have searched the issue but i can't find any definitive answers (maybe that's just me?). All point to modded kernels.
I rooted my phone on 5.1.1 and immediately ran into the issue where the phone refuses to go into deepsleep. I only got half a day of battery life since then. I flashed back stock firmware with odin several times, but the the issue persisted. Since then only modified kernels have been my savior. Now on 6.0.1 i'm still having the same issue. I was hoping it was a firmware bug on 5.1.1. Obviously not. I read somewhere that it was tied to KNOX, but still no definitve answer. So my question is. Will i ever be able to get the phone back to stock and working like before root? If it is possible, how would i go about this? I will sell this phone in the near future, so i would like to sell it unmodified.
Thanks in advance guys.
Unfortunately, the only time I ran into this issue is when i updated to 6.0.1. I later rooted and installed a custom ROM and kernel, and surely enough, problem was gone. I plan on staying like this since obviously, there's a lot more benefits when it comes to custom ROMs. Logically reverting back to stock should in theory should i theory fix your deep sleep issue, if this is not the case then.....sorry.

Going back to stock will not cure this because you have rooted the phone.I used the TWRP recovery method of rooting and only loose around 5% overnight.
I attempted to do mine when I first got it a few months ago and bricked it, said I was going to wait until it's more streamlined but I haven't really heard much. Has anything more streamlined come out in the last few months?
Mine is the t-mobile variant
No
I just got my t mobile v20 last night. i was reading all the threads about root/twrp for the previous 2 day so i'd be ready to go. I did it successfully last night with root, custom ROM and TWRP. It is difficult but not exceptionally. Just tedious. I've done this on prior samsungs, LGs, and my most recent nexus 6p. This was the most lengthy and annoying for sure. But I'm glad I did it. I'd be glad to help if you are interested in trying.
I'd say it depends on your carrier. AT&T and Sprint don't have KDZ files. Don't brick if you're on one of those 2. LOL
And Canada?

What steps did you take to root your device? If it worked for you, I'm pretty sure it will for me. I am currently on the H91810j version t_mobile. I am really tired of the youtube ads and other crappy fake viruses notifications. I just want to root this so I can have a cleaner rom. Thank you

Agree. Use that thread he linked. Read it a couple times to make sure you understand what's going on. Have all the necessary files ready like twrp, supersu, dirtycow exploits, etc. Makes it so much easier in the long run. I also personally always recommend rebooting your pc before starting anything like this to make sure its all fresh/updated and ready to see devices/drivers/etc.
Hello, I just got my Sprint LG V20 and am looking for how too unlock an root it?? Any help would be great!!
I almost attempted to root mine the other night.. got hung up with terminal commands since i'm use to one click root style methods... then as I read more.. saw notes about people having "2nd screen static" issues.. so now i'm concerned that rooting may cause some glitches that I really don't want for my new phone..
The big reason i wanted to root was for XPOSED and Gravity Box, however I found out yesterday that its not even out yet for NOUGAT.. so i'm glad I didn't attempt it yet..
Guys, to be honest, I'm growing sick of hoping and waiting for nougat and I'm losing hope in motorola. And I'm starting to get flooded with stock rom issues and I just hit a year with this phone, wifi not working unless reboot, BT connection not connecting/disconnecting, sometimes my screen won't turn on but makes unlock sounds and I have to force shut down... .
Is there another ROM that's stable enough to use daily, or should I just root and clean this up best I can?
I haven't rooted incase I needed warranty, and up to this point I've been in love with this phone and it's buttery performance. Which is quickly slipping away.
Thanks in advance.

Have you factory reset to see if that resolved your issues?

No, that's my first step but I haven't had the time yet. I plan to in the next couple of days, I just wanted opinions on ROM's to see if it's worth staying with stock or giving something else a shot. That wayI know if I should go straight to getting ready to root.

Another rom will not help you.
Do a factory reset(1st - delete google account - frp protection). Don't restore your data from g.account(log in with new one).
If problems will be again you sould ask for warranty repair.

Are the ROM's for this that bad? I've always had good luck switching on previous phones to avoid stock issues. If I thought otherwise I wouldn't have wasted anyone's time with this thread. I'll get it reset today.
Yours problems can be in software or hardware. If you flash custom rom you will loose warranty.
To flash custom you have to unlock bootloader - all data will be deleted.
Better idea is factory reset to check where problems are. @tbkrazeey

OK, yea your right I didn't really consider it being hardware, usually it's not so I just change ROM's.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/development/rom-trupurex-fast-smooth-t3237155 < the only ROM which is similar to the stock ROM. I used it for almost about 1 year. But the developer doesn't do updates any more. So now i'm back on stock and i'm waiting for the official Nougat Update.
lineageos 14.1 is great from my point of view. No issues at all except when I tinker with the kernel settings myself
Give it a try.

I might try it anyway, but running a rom without future updates sucks sometimes, thanks for the link.

Well, that's a giving with kernel settings sometimes. Lol. I'm gonna check it out.
As a side note, I turned off the moto display and my wifi issues have stopped, I'm not sure how that can be linked, but it is.
Hi all,
Oneplus 5 is an awesome device(except it is a little too big), I have being using it for almost a year now. I stopped flashing ROMs since beginning of the year after a OTA updating to oreo, the cause was the unlocked bootloader, any of those oreo rom won't work with unlocked bootloader. Not so many people talked about it I actually I just accidentally found it on the forum.
Right now my OOS version is 5.1.3, it works fine but restrict you from doing anything, oneplus does have a custom recovery, but it can only be used for sideloading their stock systems, I couldn't find any technical docs about their recovery as well, just some guy on the forums said the recovery does the verification before doing the flashing. I think my options now is either staying with OTA updates or going straightly to ublock+TWRP+custom ROMs.
I am not sure if this bootloader locking enforcement has being default for oneplus 5. I wonder if anyone is using a stock oreo OOS now with a unlocked device now.
Thanks,
unlocked boot never caused bootloop, hmmmmm
you need or to read forum more, or to do more experiments by yourseld till you find out why it happened to you

Yes, you might not believe it, and pls don't take this as an offence. Some on the OnePlus Forum did not experience the boot loop, some experienced the problem like me. It was what really happened to me, soon as I locked the bootloader the phone booted fine.
it sounds loke nonsense. im absolutely sure u did smth wrong
I never had bootloop with my unlocked bootloader with custom or with oos since the furet day i have flash rom 1 yearling ago. Read more thread on xda for more information.
