did you recognize any changes of display-quality (washed out green and yellow colors)?

I have CWM installed, which it used.
Have never had any display quality issues, still looks great.
Ran root checker after to see if still rooted and it was. Opened ES File Explorer and it was granted root access.

Root first or after?
I haven't rooted my Nexus 7 yet, should I root it first before flashing 4.1.2? Will existing rooting method work for 4.1.2? Anyone has tried? Eventually I need root but I haven't done this one yet (all my phones have been rooted so I am fairly familiar w/ the process although each device is different).
Anyone checked if it has enabled 720p video? My update didn't come yet

are you sure you were rooted and had an unlocked bootloader?
Someone grab that file and post up here when you get it (myself included!)
There will probably be two OTA files...one for people on JRO03D and one for people on JRO03S. If anyone can help with those filenames, I'd greatly appreciate it. I'd like to mirror them on randomphantasmagoria.com for the community.

I just got an update notification on my rooted note 3. Last time this happened it eventually just decided to update all by itself without my intervention. Will root keeper or the superuser ota saver save my root?
Will the update even go through this time around with a rooted phone?
Thanks.

That's actually not true. I got the update even though I was rooted, and so did half the people on this forum. No disrespect.

Then use Titanium Backup to freeze AT&T Software update. I've done those two things and so far I have not received any update notifications.
Hello
I can't do my 5.1 update on my rooted Nexus 6, it keeps error-ing. I'm guessing it's because I'm rooted. Thing is I can't find any way of doing the update while rooted, or unrooting, updating & rerooting without a PC, as I only have my Nexus 9 tablet (which is also rooted, though the update isn't showing on that yet).
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks

Have you made any other mods other than root?
Hi RootSU. Yes, I have stock recovery. No other mods as yet.

Just unroot via SuperSU app in that case then.

Just used it to root my S6 Edge, worked fine. I did go through the steps to install SuperSU instead of the one they initially supplied.. Got busybox upgraded to latest, titanium backup working, and so far everything looks good..
if i root my phone will i be able to take ota updates ?

help please
i tried the root and now my phone is stuck on the red verizon boot screen
---------- Post added at 12:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 AM ----------
ok nevermind i got a little scare there
i just went into boot loader and turned the phone off and turned it back on and its working fine now
Worked like a CHARM!
Nevermind
I have a huge problem with this rooting method. It's very anticlimactic! Could please add some flashing lights and warning alarms so we can all poop in our pampers?
Thank you.

That's if you want to change SU. I installed the ping-pong .apk, installed su like it says, download loaded data then asked for root. It reboot on it's own the first time with no root. Tried again and it worked like a charm.

That is for SuperSU. In the new beta 5.1, SuperSu is in there.
So what does everyone plan to do with root aside from nuke apps? I'm hoping someone can do some fun things for the edge: does anyone know people working on it??

This will likely never happen. You need an unlocked bootloader for a custom recovery like TWRP. As far as I know, the last VZW Samsung devices with unlocked bootloaders were the GS3 and Note 2.
With that being said, utilities like safestrap allows users to run custom roms/etc on locked bootloaders provided there's root access. I'm sure something like this is already in the works.

Anyone else getting random reboots after rooting? Not a lot, but I'm getting at least one or two a day since using this root method.
I have a samsung G900AUCU3BOC4 5.0, can it be rooted? And how?
Also, if it can't be rooted, is it possible to change my firmware to tmobile? I changed my carrier to tmobile a while back, but my firmware is at&t.

You've been going around the att forums saying it's possible to root starting from 5.0, it isn't, unless you have solid proof it is stop misleading people.

I'm not talking about the app. I was talking about the root binary. Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/aquos-crystal/general/temp-root-306sh-t3129456. Just use the root file. You can also use King root because it uses the same exploit.

So that will work? Also, kingo root gives me an error saying root unsuccessful after it reboots my phone and vibrates 3 times.

That is still not going to work on "THIS" phone with "THIS" lollipop bootloader.
I think you are mixing what worked on other phones (maybe s5) with this particular s5. I'm pretty sure a dev has already thought of and tried that, and if it really worked, you would have been heard about it.
Correct I have the att variant of s5 with 5.1.1 and sadly no root on it as of yet, I can say that kingroot team is researching it as it is close to the top of list for people requesting research, hopefully they will figure it out soon if you happen to have the att variant of s5 and have not gone up to 5.0+ yet then i suggest that you do not do so otherwise your going to have no root and no way to get it yet.
King root
My phone is -
SM-G900A AT&T
Lollipop 5.0 G900AUCU3BOC4
I just used KINGROOT king481.apk
It did take a while and at the ATT splash screen it stop for a few minutes.
Next it rebooted three times........ Root Checker now says it is Rooted.
I have rebooted and turned the phone off 5 times without issue.
Also Titanium Backup Pro installed detecting that the phone was now rooted.
I hope this helps

According to Slim, root is broken on the new update. They also changed the bootloader so you can't downgrade. They apparently want everyone to update to the new software.

Of course they do... they don't want folks rooting... Sammy knows what's up... if they were decent they'd give us a bootloader unlock to make up for rushing the devices to market to beat Apple on the release date (which is already cracked smh) and catch a few more percent of market share...

For clarification,you were able to root a replacement note 7?
I read,somewhere, that the update starts when you power it on the first time. I am hoping to root mine immediately to avoid the update.

Yes you are correct. The update starts to download when you power up the phone, but you can pause the download or postpone it for later install. This is what happened on my phone.

Awesome thank you for clarifying.
Once I saw there was complete root with volte I went straight to download mode and did the process. Glad I didn't take the update because it blocks root and the sprint engineer rom.
