On the fence here guys. Trying to decide if its worth waiting for the OTA 2.2 or biting the bullet, rooting and testing a cooked rom. Any performance issues or problems with the current roms? How is flash 10.1 working? Like the idea of having full control of the phone and not too concerned with warranty issues. Want to be sure to select the right rom without too many glitches. On AT&T network.

you dont have to be rooted to be using 2.2, and the performance of Flash on the Nexus One is fantastic, especially with all the recent updates.
I'm on At&t and thought only tmobile didn't have to root, but At&t did. Anyone confirm this?

What do you mean Stock ROM? Are you talking about a Vanilla ROM made for the Vibrant (which there are none yet) or are you talking about the Vibrant version of Touchwiz. Either way they have different stuff that will not allow a simple load of it. There are many codes that would have to be changed to work on the Captivate. Its the firmware that will not allow it, not the hardware.
Hi folks - i've never sold an android advice before (and they are a lot harder to sell than unlocked iPhones from my experience so far). Currently I have the latest Indian JB rom and rooted with Philz latest kernel. I am wondering whether I should sell it with this rom or go back to one of the original Gingerbread roms and not have it rooted. I assume that anyone who buys a pre-rooted phone with the latest rom is going to know what they are getting into. On the other hand, if the buyer isn't one of those people, I want to make sure that the phone is going to be stable and I won't have to deal with someone saying that there is a problem with the phone after they get it.
I appreciate any advice! I've got it listed on eBay now and it closes in 10 days. I would add a note that I am willing to flash it back to an original ROM if requested. Thanks in advance!

My opinion: get back to a stock version (ideally, the latest one for your country to make it "official"). If the buyer is not familiar with Android, they will be able to get updates OTA. If they are tech-savvy, they will know how to root the device and flash a new ROM.

Go back to stock to avoid trouble with the buyer.

Is this possible to install a tmobile stock rom on the at&t note 3 or will the locked bootloader prevent this? just curious as i'm gonna be moving to tmobile for the unlimited LTE and would like to use the stock apps as well with it. Does anybody know if this is possible? I looked around a little bit and couldn't find any information on doing this.

1. This should be in the help section
2. I've flashed verizon roms on my note 3 without a problem so it's possible. All you'll have to do is update your APN settings. It can't hurt to try it, that's the point of safestrap!
Yeah I'm not rooted so was wondering if the tmobile rom via Odin would fail or not

Why isn't ATT stock firmware available for the edge yet? Seems a bit weird that all other carriers have our available, but ATT users still can't Odin back to stock in case something is wrong with their phones.
Can anyone shed any light on this? I'm just curious why it's taking them longer than others.

Good luck, man. I read your last post. I just rooted my s6 edge and I think that's enough for now. I am still waiting for TWRP and custom ROM until it's confirmed to be safe.

Don't get me wrong, i think it's great that the s6 edge can be rooted. I'm super happy about it. But I want to be able to revert to completely stock in case something happens for me to root it. And as it is currently, i'm not sure the ATT version can use Odin to get back to stock. Are there other ways of doing this?
EDIT: ATT users can't use Smart Switch either for recovery (yet?).

When you root the S6 edge (any variant) PingPongRoot prevents OTA updates from installing.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s6-edge/general/of1-odin-g925v-tars-t3191419
Here is a link to the proper files to update to 5.1.1; just be aware it makes root impossible.

It all depends. I would recomend that before you take the update and permanently lose root, try installing a custom ROM.
There are a variety of custom ROMs available for the Verizon Galaxy S6 Edge. They all outperform the 5.1.1 build.
Try finding one in the following subforum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s6-edge/development
If one of these ROMs does not perform as well as you expect, just use Odin to install the official firmware.
