QUOTE(XeactorZ @ May 14 2015, 04:38 PM) as uncle benny said most of the SC staff are stupid, they don't care whether you root or not haha I very worry stuck in boot, that why all the time I root all are fully charge 1st  I mean Knox triggered not root. Is better you unroot completely before sending in . Just use the 2 step process I had mentioned using supersu Pro app. I rooted my S6 Edge n the collection center guy was nice enough to remind me to unroot it before sending in to service center. I unroot on the spot n hand phone over. At the end motherboard change free of charge even with knox triggered!!

QUOTE(esdome @ May 14 2015, 05:02 PM) You unrooting your phone permanently by using SuperSU pro? Or you will gain back the root access after rebooting our phone? The root won't reappear after reboot. There will be no root access at all. You must reroot again to have root

QUOTE(XeactorZ @ May 14 2015, 09:44 PM) ooo, but also can unroot by reflash the ROM using odin which require pc thanks for the advise btw what wrong with your s6, why send to warranty and change motherboard  ?? ya so better unroot 1st  My S6 Edge on week 3 the earpiece speaker went bust and we couldn't hear dialing tone and other party voice. I was initially told speakers need to be replaced but at the end of the day Samsung replace the whole motherboard. Got phone back in 6 days. I sent it in through a Samsung authorised collection center as no service center at my town.

What other users can hit does not necessarily mean you can hit it too. Different users use their phones differently. Those who talk less , don't play games and use less internet access ( especially on 3G/LTE) will have better SOT

You don't need any " balls" to root. The chance you brick your phone us 1 in a billion or more Only dumb guys can brick rooting it Just download the correct root file n follow instructions strictly n you will find it freaking easy Again I would advised if you worry about warranty even with phone fully unrooted but knox remain triggered DON'T root!

QUOTE(clarkblitz @ May 15 2015, 09:26 PM) Hi guys, Hands itchy wanna try CM12, can i flash the rom into my phone? Using chain fire root now.. possible? will it trigger knox? Will it cause any problems if i keep on flashing and flashing? Knox already triggered with root You need to install either TWRP or CWM recovery to flash custom rom. Since you had rooted just use the app Flashify to flash the recovery.img file - fast n easy. Just google for these img files n easily found. I always prefer to use TWRP What problems ?? Flashing n continual flashing will not harm your phone CM12 roms will not allow you to use SNote app n all the Samsung stuffs n most Samsung features unavailable. You can still use SPen but limited functions This post has been edited by benny888: May 15 2015, 09:46 PM

In lollipop you cannot generally write onto ext sdcard Easy solution n since phone rooted install free app nextapp sdfix. Run it n reboot n you can now write onto ext sdcard for all app Run titanium again n you will be able to write n no more insufficient storage errors

My old friend went against my advise n attempted to install xposed mod on his Note4 ( on lollipop). The phone went into a continuous bootloop At least he had earlier on did a nandroid backup He took off battery n restarted in recovery mode n got phone fully restored in 5 mins
One tip : when I tested CWM recovery for him I noted CWM had error recognizing ext sdcard. Mounting card again in CWM doesn't help either At the end I use flashify app to install TWRP recovery img file to have TWRP recovery installed. This work perfectly No idea what happen with CWM n didn't explore it further

NOTE 5 : Personally 1080p display is more than sufficient I would prefer a slight bigger display say 5.9 inch Maintain the removable battery n ext SDcard Increase battery size to 4000mAh. TW more debloated as like S6 Edge . S6 still has some hopeless added on apps which I uninstalled or frozen ( needed root to do that)

QUOTE(bitcomet79 @ May 17 2015, 11:37 AM) I did the same as yr method but still the wakelock won't work....dono y.....I even install n uninstall but still same....found on xda that lollipop issue wif wakelock And thks for the sdfix....it works now... Don't know why some users cannot get it to work As you can see from the posted screenshots is working fine on Note4 Is working very well on my S6 edge n XZU My only conclusion is probably due to unofficial app interference ? Try uninstall those if you had installed any??

QUOTE(arrowhead7372 @ May 17 2015, 01:14 PM) Habisla. Then seems like n4 is my last samseng if they opt for iphone-like variants. I really like the sc card. Easy to backup stuff. Yes i know got apps for that but i old school. Prefer sd card. I used a Sandisk micro USB thumb drive ( 64gb) to backup my nandroid n Titanium backup in my S6 Edge. Is a very small device n convenient.
