Was handing off my phone to my son, moving on to an LG G2, I let him test it out under my account, he added his account and phone was a little sluggish since the extra account was taking up more RAM, so he hands it to me while I was in bed and needs help, I factory reset it thinking it would just wipe out my personal data and allow him to enter his, well it did, but now he lost Root and I am stuck on the 1st nightly with memory leak...
Any method available to reroot this phone when in 5.0 so I can continue upgrading with nightlies? Or am I in a world of hurt now?
Justatechie replied in another thread, THANKS!!
Thats not going to work, it only works with the stock atrix hd 4.1.1
Cm12 can be rooted by going into developer options on the phone,
under root access (its disabled by default)
Just tap on it and allow apps or app and adb and it should be all set.
Other people prefer to flash supersu by going into recovery, just download the latest and put it where you will find it when you use the recovery.
I completely forgot about that, I had enabled developer mode, but nothing else, thought the reboot into advanced options was default, which it was not and slightly had a panic attack.. Thanks for the save...
Running apps stay running after a flash...
First thing odd I noticed, after giving him my phone and his adding his apps, is that when you click square to see running apps and click the 3 bars to turn them all off, they do not turn off, you have to swipe each one off now.
When I had the phone that process would end all apps I had started, now they stay on unless you swipe them off.
Also, after flashing the update to latest nightly, all the apps that were running before I flashed it and entered recovery to perform the flash, were running again upon a reboot. I have never seen this on any build, don't know if it is one of his apps causing this or what??
And I cleaned cache, cleaned dalvik, flashed both zips, cm12 and gapps, then cleaned cache again as instructed in the 5.0 threads.
I tried to see if it would happen again so I opened 3 apps, then performed a reboot, after phone rebooted, clicked the square and those same 3 apps were active...
What may have caused this?
Factory reset may have some bug as the phone was performing normally before I used that method to clear out my user data.
And if I ever decide to part with the phone I would expect that feature to work or I would be forced to keep it...

Apps will continue to run if you reboot. This is not a bug but a feature from Lollipop
Morning all,
I have a bit of an unusual issue at the moment. I currently have my Z3c rooted, with unlocked bootloader and running the latest .77 firmware. I also have the read/write permissions fixed through the recovery flash method. . I'm busy trying to uninstall apps via rom toolbox and it just resets the phone when I try to do this. They arent even system apps, just apps I may have installed earlier that I now want removed. Not sure what the issue is here because I've uninstalled rom toolbox and tried again but with no success. It will freeze them fine but it wont uninstall them without causing a phone reboot.
Anyone else come across this issue at all and if so, is there a way to sort this out.? Any other information you may need to help out with this issue, I will be glad to provide.
Thanks very much.
I'm new to AT&T builds (usually do unlocked international) and unfortunately my kernel is already patched for the ping vulnerability. What would be the best tweaks/changes/disables/removes one could make to tame the bloatware on a stock non-rooted phone?

Anything that is "disableable" EXCEPT FOR the Samsung Account app. Disabling that causes a lot of problems, namely: no access to Themes, no access to the Galaxy Apps store, no ability to use any Samsung apps that require logins - and you can't fix that without factory resetting.
Otherwise, I just disabled everything that I don't use, which is most of the pre-installed apps that are able to be disabled.
Hey all my version is the G920AUCU3BOJ7...I've tried PingPong root and it says my device can't be rooted yet. Is there anything that can help me root my device. My recent tab is stuck and it causes my phone to constantly switch between apps. I went through all the proper channels AT&T and Samsung and they won't help me. I also factory reset my device uninstalled all apps ever put on it and nothing works. I read you can disable the recent tab, but to do that I need root acess to the device. Any help would me much apprechiated.
Thanks,
Ryan
Hi.
*I have purchased a new g930f to replace my old, and rooted s5.
I had activated backup of the old device and the new one installed the apps of old.
I had not intended to root the device, as there are some apps that I use that don't work on a rooted 'phone.
Now these apps detect the 'phone as being rooted, and will not function.
Does anyone have a clue as to what has happened?
How can I "unroot" - without really being rooted - without having to odin-flash the stock ROM and thereby wipe the internal memory and loose all my apps?
