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 rooted my phone with the correct methods as in the threads below mine, and I purposely havent updated my phone for a while, just in case the root would only work for older system versions.
I'm just curious to know if, now that I'm rooted, is it safe to update to PE1, and will it fix the Android System battery drain? I've also downloaded all the root fixes too, as well as the Debloat, so my original System Updates app doesn't work anymore.
I would love to get just some answers from the pros on this before possibly bricking or boot looping my amazing phone.
Thanks!
*bump* Hate to bump, but does anyone know this question? After flashing all the fixes, I notice my battery still kinda goes down somewhat fast when in use and sometimes a bit fast when the screen is off.

I don't know if PE1 fixes the drain but it can be rooted and downgraded if needed. Same thing for the newest PF2 firmware I have here.
I have the same problem idk what to do if PE1 fixes the battery drain I'll gladly update if not I might have to go back to stock and just stay on it unless someone can find a way to unlock bootloader so we can get custom roms (only reason I wanted root tbh)
So I can just take the update now, WHILE rooted and I'll be fine? Will I have to re-root after the update is done, or do I just continue using it as normal?
Will I have to re-flash the new fixes for the PE1 version and stuff? Since I have flashed the old NON-PE1 fixes, will this brick my phone when updating to PE1?
I have been reading about people bricking there devices trying to root. Are they doing something wrong or is it just not stable? I have rooted a few phones before but what i am reading is scaring me from rooting this one. Any input would be appreciated thanks.
I use my phone often. Not much gaming. And go to bed with usually 60+% battery. I'm currently using Weta Rom but they all are good. Its a trickier root than normal however I think this may be the new normal so just follow directions carefully and you will be fine.

Here is a great tutorial with pics that I and few others followed https://android.gadgethacks.com/how-to/root-your-t-mobile-lg-v20-using-dirty-cow-0175329/ . I was kinda overwhelmed with info esp the horror stories about rooting as well. That tut made life much easier.

No thats fine. i appreciate any help.
Rocking VS995 here. Followed the Dirty Santa steps and it worked easily. Been flashing everything I could on this device and settled on Weta because of the sound mods and still having all the stock features. I've gotten 8hrs SoT with a Blacked Out theme, Substratum themeing, no lag, and Deep Sleep like it's in a coma. Rooting the v20 is a must really at this point. The only downside I've come across is it vibrating during boot up while it's connected to a charger. Otherwise I've rooted, flashed, and been living the life.

Do not follow any of the above guides that are posted you will kill your phone with those methods. Please follow every detail of this threat to a T to root your verizon v20 https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/ls997vs995h910-dirtysanta-bootloader-t3519410
It has been done guys. i thought i bricked it a few times but i am up and running on stock again with super su and root chaecker saying i am rooted
I am still debating on rooting myself I prefer to keep it root free for at least 6 months in cause something goes wrong with the hardware.
Main reason I root is so I can control what runs and what doesn't which should be a default ability in android in my opinion. I don't root to use custom roms I am always concerned about security of 3rd party roms

I can not get weta to boot for some reason. I get static on the screen when booting and when its on set up screen.

Hit the power button to turn the screen off. Then hold your hand over the proximity speaker to turn off the second screen. When they're both black, you can use the phone regularly. It explains all this in the Dirty Santa root method thread.

If you want the static to go away. @BackCheck made a stock verizon kernel that works just a good as the konverged kernel. I get the same battery life as I did on the konvergered kernel and plus its more stable Just do a backup in twrp. Then hit wipe, advanced wipe, and check mark cache and dalvik and then go back and flash the restock kernel. The first boot take a bit of time so make sure your phone is charged a bit! You wont lose data or anything so dont worry.
Any chance you know how to get apps that cheack for saftynet to work on rooted phones?

I can't answer this - my question to you, however, has to do with your experiences in rooting.
I have the Verizon V20, non-rooted. The software version (it has taken one update since I bought this a few weeks ago) is VS99513A.
Can you confirm that this was the software version you had (have) when rooting?
And you said you thought you had bricked the phone a few times - what, specifically, are you referring to? I've read enough of the DirtySanta rooting thread to see some of the issues people have run into (static, long wait for first boot, etc.).
One of the unfortunate problems with a universal carrier rooting thread is that it doesn't delineate any one specific carrier and issues with rooting that might be particular to that carrier among all the posts. You have to wade your way through, lol, to find specific Verizon issues, for example. (That said, I'm very happy there's a rooting thread!)
It seems that from what I've read in the DirtySanta thread, many issues came up because people didn't explicitly follow the guide.
So, can you comment on your software version (13A?) before rooting, and what, specifically, gave you pause during the process and what I should be prepared for?
(By the way, the major thing I want from rooting is to be able to get hotspot wifi capability without having to pay Verizon for it. I'm on the grandfathered unlimited data and have not been convinced that it's in my interests to switch to their new "unlimited", particularly since I can't use my corporate discounts, and will potentially run into hotspot throttling after a certain limit, etc.)
Thanks!

This is possible with a rooted phone that has a kernel patched to bypass boot state verification (most kernels have this now) and using something like SU hide + Root Switch. I am currently running this setup and can use root switch to turn off root on the fly, use AndroidPay and then turn root back on when done.
I'll admit, I have yet to actually pay for anything with Android pay......but using this approach, I was able to add my credit card as well as bypass all checks with the SafetyNet helper app.

Some of the roms like notsostock have people explaining how to pass the checks and all the apps used.
You can run the exploit on 13a without any problems. If you still don't believe me or whatever just use the kdz to downgrade to 12a then do the exploit.

is there a Developer that I can pay to root my T-Mobile v20
I believe there is an update available for my 996. I'm currently knows.
I have turned ofupdates.
I anticipate I may want to root. Given all the problems i see people having I'm not sure I'll risk it. But I don't want to lock myself out of it.
Is it ok to update given I may want to root?

What issues have you seen? Once you have a stable rom flashed it should work pretty well. This phone is an adventure of its own. I had issues in the beginning, but wiping data and flashing a Rom did the trick! I was iffy on the rooting processes at first as well and pushed it off quite a few times. But I prefer root nowadays. If the issues you see outway root then idk. I recommend rooting! Weta is a pretty nice rom for the US996
I suspect I will root. Not sure about custom ROM.
But my question is should I update my stock ROM to the latest stock ROM. I suppose I should ask " If I update to the latest stock ROM will it prevent me from rooting or installing a custom Rom in the future?". I know on some cases that does happen.
I am currently rooted with MM on my S7-Edge, SM-G935A and yesterday I got the notification from AT&T that it wanted to update my phone to the newest version of Android, Version 7 (Nougat).
I thought about UN-Rooting my phone and let the OTA finish the process and complete the upgrade. But after looking around there isn't a stable version for Root on Nougat yet for the AT&T Phone, so I think I going to wait.
But my question is if I just let OTA update the phone without Un-Rooting it, what would happen to the phone. Would it just become Un-Rooted and be an Updated Android 7.0? Or would there be problems? I can say for sure that I would not do this as I like having Root Access and I don't think I would like living without Root. But I was just curious what would really happen?
I only have one phone and don't want to mess it up, but there are a lot of people on these forums that experiment with phones all the time.
Anyway, just a question for all of you in the know.
Judging from what happened with a minor update on my at the time rooted s6e, it'll just error out before anything is done due to the engboot not being what it expects.
It checks the hashes of that file and a lot of others before applying the update from what I can tell

Thanks for the reply. That is what I expected. I am not going to try this but like I said just curious. And you answered my question.
Again thanks.
Yup it wouldn't update.
