I haven't had any issues with Magisk hide working for all my financial apps and the couple of games that check for root.

Why would your buy a OnePlus device if you were not planning to root?
This question has been mowed over more times than the white house lawn.
If you think Google is out to block root access then enjoy it while you can, we can all sit on this forum and moan about it, check the Huawei and Honor sections, it did then zero favours, now look at them.
Personally I don't think Google will destroy one of the things that made their platform great, the losses would be massive overtime.
The answer to your first question is irrelevant the only question that matters to each and every person is different, but none of them are your opinion which means it's a pointless exercise.
Are you going to root?
Yes? Great, enjoy it and contribute
No? Fair enough, why go with OnePlus?
And the cycle of pointless questions continues

I think you're responding to the wrong person. I didn't ask the question, was also responding, and have been rooted since a couple of days after I received it.

1. There's a difference between root access and magisk hide.
I didn't say they were out to block root access, magisk hide is a different story.
2. What's wrong with asking for other people's experiences?

It's just the most asked question.
Google: why root?
You'll be there all day long..
People will always find a way round hiding exploits

I don't know why you made a big deal out of this in the first place but I'm done with this useless conversation so you go ahead and have the last word.

In some Linux systems, you must use the sudo command to invoke Root permissions. Android based on Linux will of course inherit the powerful function of Root.

[Q] How to disable downloaded update?

Hi all!
Is there any way to disable update notification message on Verizon GS5? Update is already downloaded.
I'm rooted and with some apps frozen. If I run update it fails.
So, actually more than one question...
I assume I can unfreeze everything and attempt to update. Is it going to break root? Is this going to be rootable after that update?
It is probably answered multiple times, but I cannot find definite, direct answer. So help will be appreciated!
You neglected to tell us how or what you searched for. It's almost impossible to miss all of the existing threads on the subject, don't know how you missed them but we don't know how, what or if you tried searching.

Chances are you won't be able to run it anyway, as you're rooted, just either remove it in titanium, or freeze it, or rename the update apk by putting a .bak on the end of the file name and the odex file too.

They would indeed be able to run it but since the update fails because VZW is able to determine if your rooted the update will fail every single time. I wouldn't worry too much about the update as VZW is finding ways to patch the exploits ie towelroot and the S3 with the upcoming patch will be unable to be rooted.
Sadly there are a lot of members who remind members to constantly search, a good majority of them don't even bother so that might be why he refers to it every single time

Everytime I reply to a thread, you follow with an opinion that is clearly in factual error. Your dedication to increasing your post count is impressive even though it contributes nothing constructive. You were accurate when you characterized yourself as annoying but that is a blight easily solved with a kill filter.
Of course he can run it, as the poster after you correctly observed. Root is sufficient to block the two main processes, the update app and the notification app. One just needs to note Verizon's habit of appending vzw to otherwise standard nomenclature.
Verizon can independently search for evidence of root leading to further notifications. And there is no assured way to block that eventuality.

So when i rooted my phone, my phone failed to even check for updates! All i'm saying about you is the fact that you tell every single person to search, although I get it, you are wasting your time, lastly you really can't call anybody annoying m8, I didn't characterize myself as annoying, what you do every single day is ridicule people for not using the search button you aren't even addressing me and i'm even tired of it.
This is Q+A, it's made for people to ask questions.
And about my post count, I think your math is off, I've been on XDA since 2010 (2007 actually different account) i'm on 3,658 posts, You've been on here for 1 year you have a third of my posts, so theoretically speaking and at the rate you sprout your posts, you will have surpassed my post count in less time than I did, for someone who attempts to sound smart you've had quite an oversight there.

Thanks, I wasn't able to update, I was speaking from my own experiences, and as I said to ffffffft there are over 5 million members on XDA, is he planning on warning everyone? There is a thread in every single section on XDA, telling people to search. I've been there and attempted to tell people to search, doesn't help, there will always be threads of the same question, telling noobs isn't going to change that.

Honestly VZW can search for root on my phone all they want but the truth of the matter is its my phone and I'll do whatever I want with it. I learned long ago to never take an ota from them. Rooting isn't against the law so screw them

Hopefully not, rooting and having a tinker is what makes android great, I dread to think how I would feel if I was forced into the world of Apple, think I might end up with windows mobile yea I don't want to think like that, long live rooting I say.
I've heard bad things about Verizon doing things to their phones, do you not have a third party retailer in the states? I know that in the UK most people, especially people who want to modify their handsets, will buy from Carphone warehouse or even phones 4 u. You basically end up with the international unlocked version of the handset, as it was intended. I made the mistake of getting my Z1 from EE, turned out that the bootloader couldn't be unlocked no matter what I did, so I bricked it and sent it off for repair through Carphone, got a fully unlocked brand new handset back in five days.

True And I have no idea And you're welcome, I wasn't 100% on the Verizon thing, I only knew what I'd tried myself, I was rooted and updates didn't work for me, maybe a mistake to assume it'd be the same for you, perhaps if it's going to be a huge difference there should be different sections ?
I dunno?

Kinda hard to tell, since you gave zero information. But I'd call bs since there's nothing about it in the bounty thread and it would be there immediately.

I have it temporarily rooted, it loses root upon reboot, please wait until I can get a script working. I have been granted temporary root via camera. It grants temporary root via USB Debugging turned on with MTP and all that turned off. I have been able to remove VZW Bloatware... no luck on bootloader yet though.

If what you claim is true you should contact jdevs and take his help... I am sure, he can work his magic even with temp root... I doubt it though... Cuz u can't remove bloatware with temp root... So either u don't have it or u have permanent root! But again doubt that! No offence though..

Just because someone has 4 posts, and not known DOES NOT mean they are not capable of rooting a device. You are so quick to shoot someone down, if it is a fake, let it be, we don't need to here this comment every time someone claims to have found something... This forum is a discussion for who those who are interested in experimenting with their devices, no need for trolling just because someone has 4 posts and hasn't posted screenshots. If I were to discover a potential rooting vulnerability, I would not be posting screenshots, and I definitely wouldn't have the posts.

So a few things:
1. You have no way knowing if its true or not yet.
2. Didn't you drop the Turbo? Why are you even here if you don't have the Turbo anymore other than to make such trollish comments?
3. This won't be the first time someone who doesn't live on a forum accomplishes something like this.

So a few replies:
1. Deep down, yes we do. Whether you want to admit to the truth is another story.
2. Maybe get your facts straight on my business - let me enlighten you: Never had the Turbo. I'm smart enough to not buy a phone that is so locked down when I want a phone with root and/or an unlocked bootloader. If (not when) that ever happens I'll consider getting it, but chances are the '15 models are going to be out by then and the Turbo will be considered "an older phone". Right now I'm just following along on the (lack of) progress with rooting and keeping everyone in check with reality (or "trolling", if that's how you want to put it).
3. Unrelated since it isn't happening with this guy. I'd bet money he goes away just like the "VZW security rep" did in the bounty thread. I'd give you the link to his area in that thread if you don't remember him, but I'm not sifting through all the bs posted over there to find the exact location.

Lol, maybe, but seems an appropriate response for someone going on a rant, wanting really hard to believe that this guy ACTUALLY temp rooted this phone after I called the "rooter" out on his bs. Screenshots, images, pics of the whole phone, something would be better than just "Hey guess what, I rooted it."
Don't get me wrong, I'm not voting against the phone being rooted eventually. I'm just less inclined to creme all over my keyboard without some sort of believable hard evidence.

Hopefully this will speed the root process!

Not sure if there's any creed to this post, but if so it certainly seems like someone with a a bit more knowledge than me will be able to get us a root sooner than later!
Root ANY device?
jcase and others have a wsy to root. They are working on making the process safe for everyone. You just have to be patient. According to the cubed(hopefully I spelled it right) projected 1-3 weeks. I just don't want the devs get pissed and say to everyone DO ONE

This is not from a rooting team. This is from the italian company "Hacking Team" which is offering professional hacking-tools to their customers (also governments).
This company was hacked and all their exploits got published. This android stuff is one of many repositories with exploits of this company.

Yeah I'm aware they have root and they've had it for over a month with no release so they obviously haven't been successful in making it safe for everyone. Hopefully now instead of being a closed club we can have additional talented devs helping to speed the process along. It's not a slight against the guys that are working on it, but at the same time why limit ourselves to the 3-4 talented guys that are working on it when we have an entire community willing and (many) able to help.

Yeah mine unfortunately has been laying on my desk unused other than using the camera for the past couple weeks. I've been using my S6 in the meantime and grabbing the G4 when I know I'm going to want to take pictures. I want to like the phone and it's got so much potential but every time I swap my SIM into it within 20 minutes the same old problems rear their head and I use it for whatever I'm doing and then go back to the S6 :/

Yeah I'm aware they have root and they've had it for over a month with no release so they obviously haven't been successful in making it safe for everyone. Hopefully now instead of being a closed club we can have more talented devs helping to speed the process along. It's not a slight against the guys that are working on it, but at the same time why limit ourselves to the 3-4 talented guys that are working on it when we have an entire community willing and (many) able to help.

The devs working on it are some of the best in this community. Disrespecting them like that won't make it any better for us. Different devs work on different brands of phones. You're more than welcome to find your own method of root of you don't like their precautionary process.

That's why I said they're very talented guys, the fact remains there are no results to show though. As I also said specifically, it's not a slight or disrespect against them in the least. I'm just pointing out that the more of these talented guys that we have working on it the better. I'm not sure why you feel the need to turn up in every thread pertaining to root for the G4 and try to derail it by ****ting on whatever the thread is about? Unless you've got a more constructive comment to provide I'd appreciate you not derailing this thread so that it gets closed as all the others have.
If I were able to come up with my own root method I would've. Since I'm not a developer and have little knowledge of these things I'd like to provide links like the one in the OP to those that can make better use of it than me as my contribution to the forum. If you have your own method of coming up with root or using the provided information usefully then please do, otherwise carry on.

Whether you think it wasn't, your comment was a dig at them. I don't "sh1t" on root threads. The only threads I input my frustration on are the people who keep repeating the same stuff that's been explained over and over again. You should take your own advice about constructive comments. Like I said, if you aren't happy with what the current devs are doing then find a root method yourself. They don't HAVE to do anything for us. They do this on their own time and don't have unlimited hours a day to work on things. Patience is a virtue. Root will be here within a couple weeks or less. If other devs want to take this and run with it, so be it, but it's not up to us to voice our opinions and commentary when we aren't donating any of our time and abilities in this community.

As a friendly suggestion, boosting1bar, maybe use "other" instead of "more" when positing something similar to this sentence, "Hopefully now instead of being a closed club we can have more talented devs helping to speed the process along." I get what you meant to say, but to some, it might read as a qualitative statement (as in developers with "more" talent than the ones being referred to), rather than a quantitative one (i.e. additional developers).

Everyone has their own interpretation, I guess those of you looking to be negative will see it that way. Hopefully the others who can make use of the information will see it for what it actually is.

When I read your post, I saw how people could misinterpret it, but I thought about it like this; A nicely packaged one-click-root from the current devs would be great, but if I could have root tomorrow, I wouldn't mind needing to stick my fingers in the guts of the android like the old days.
I'll risk a brick for a quick and dirty solution!

Well he said "more" in a sense of quantity not by any means of talent. I feel like if "other" was used it would be a little more disrespectful. But that's my opinion

I get that, but because of the way it was worded, it was clearly interpreted otherwise. Hence my suggestion.
As for "other" being more offensive, I'm not sure I see how, unless you elaborate. To me "other" would imply "other developers in addition to the ones mentioned." But I suppose there are always "other" ways to interpret it.
I will digress here, as I would prefer this thread be steeped in the semantics of rooting our common device as opposed to being bogged down in the semantics of intent.

how about instead of being a jerk just respond nicer. Maybe ... just MAYBE this person bought this pohone because of whatever reason and was too anxious to KNOW the answer many others already know without reading thousands or even hundreds of posts. I do not get why so many people have to respond like a dope. Have YOU ever asked a question you just wanted answered without doing some research?? WHY CANT WE ALL JUST GET ALONG!!!!!

Thanks, just that I wanted a response well any more, newly buy it and have always liked the root, so I wanted to know if there is root, I do not make changes rom or anything, just root, thanks for the brother response, very friendly your comment
Unstable temp root via Kingroot app, reboots randomly (usually within 5-10 minutes from my experience, but long enough to uninstall the bloatware from verizon). Thats about it for right now.

This looks like something I may have tried in the past, but I could be wrong. Judging by the date of the post, I'm pretty sure it doesn't work, otherwise there'd be whole lot of people here going bananas and passing out from the shear joy of finally having root. But, like I said, I could be wrong, and hopefully I am. If you decide to take the plunge, let us know and hopefully everyone here in Verizon Note 4 land will have a reason to finally celebrate.
OK I may try it...wish me luck

Didn't work
I noticed your post in another thread, and it reminded me I did try this, or something similar, with no luck. It's something about CF Auto Root our phones don't like to play nice with. I think it's the locked boot loader.
that method only works on DE models.

I think the annoying thing they're referring to is the fact that there's at least two or three threads here talking about root. Each one specifically states that root is not available in any form, except for temp which does not last past reboot. I haven't had my Note 4 as long as some others here have, but I can understand how annoying it can be to see multiple threads on the same subject, only to find a post asking about something that is easy to find an answer to. Just saying.
All 3 are on the same board, so here I am looking at new posts for that board and all I get is the exact same statement each time. I suppose if you posted one here and one in one of the developer boards I could see your point. It would make more sense if it were one here and one over at android forums and then another at some other forum.

As you can see the other members understand very well the annoyances you have brought. We aren't really attacking or being rude but its the fact that it doesn't take too long to do a little research to see what has been tried and what hasn't. Also as it's been said a lot of us are looking for new things and solutions. So posting the same question several times gives us false hope we are all looking for new info man that's all.

Where are the ROMs?

This might be a dumb question, but i'm quite certain i'm not the only one wondering. Is anyone working on any ROMs for the v20? I know jc cracked root and recovery fairly quickly. Is anyone working on any roms? I'd love to test out Cyan ....its been years.
Pretty sure LG hasn't released the source code yet, and we still don't have the dll needed for unbricking using LGup. It's only been a month since the phone was released, chill.
I think once we get a way to flash tot/kdz people will be more willing to experiment.

I can't speak for anyone other than myself,but,it's generally considered rude/needy asking for ROMS & ETA's for such.If you don't believe me take a look around XDA & the rules for all who enter here.
Seriously,only one model has an unlockable bootloader ATM & it has only been available officially since 10/28/16.
On top of that,Android 7.0 is a new OS with only a handful of phones running it,so,you may wanna temper your expectations for development a bit............................

This. Patience is a virtue. Instant gratification is childish. If you want a ROM right now, start developing it yourself.

Perhaps you can show me where i asked for an ETA??? Seriously though, i'm not trying to be rude or demand anything. I simply asked if anyone was WORKING on roms. I didn't say "WHEN IS THIS COMING OUT?!" or anything like that. Delete it if you want, i was just curious to see if/what people were working. Someone above nicely informed me that certain software was needed before anyone could start developing, which makes sense.
What doesn't make sense, is calling me childish, selfish, etc, for asking if anyone is developing anything. It's so ridiculous that i can't ask a simple question without people jumping down my throat. I've been on this forum for almost 10 years and it didn't used to be like this.
LG is not a very popular brand that does not attract devs. Even the Pixel doesn't even have roms. The days of roms are numbered sadly.

NP, if you find out about any others let me know.
I understand that the second screen caused problems in the V10 development. That'll likely be an issue with this phone as well.

Thanks, thats all the OP wants to know. As do I and many others. IS someone working on a ROM etc.. No ETAs ... This guy seems to be working on something also .. http://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/v20-v1-oct-20-16-t3482986
Here's my take on it. For one why would anyone buy a device like this to put cm on it? Like seriously that would be just silly. That's what nexus devices are for! I highly doubt there will be many roms that aren't just the standard stock debloated/deodexed. And those aren't even features. My advice is stay stock and use xposed if it comes out. I highly doubt there's gonna be any ground breaking features added to any rom.
Plus all the devs are switching to iPhones now! lol

Phones has officially been out 19 days and the resources needed for custom Roms aren't available. Tag this in the first world impatient problem bin. Geez.
