Hi i was just wondering wether anyone else had this:bassicaly on my black samsung galaxy s2 the back samsung logo had started to ware away and it was pink underneath! i had only had the phone 1 week and it had only been on my desk due to a operation. But now i have got a new one due to 2 reasons: not being able to access the u drive and getting no signal half the time and the other half full (Three uk). Thank god for my jig otherwise carphone warehouse would of not given me new one meh my luck this is my 4th one 1st one white three uk signal bug,2nd stolen, third as above, forth in use.
Right now if you go to registered Sprint store and speak to a technician, you will be able to lay your hands on a brand new 16gb galaxy s3 in pebble blue or white. Here's what to do:
MOD EDIT (Deleted due to trying to rip off a sprint store to get a new phone)
I just got mine ordered so I'll be seeing a few of you over at the Sprint S3 forums
Sorry this is kinda of a scam and not allowed on xda. I will be closing this thread and editing the OP. Please do not post this again
Just for the background info i have Verizon Galaxy S6 Edge Plus. G928V 64GB Black.
I'm on build & software version OG1 or OGI is what it looks like.
because I've wanted to use find Samsung pay but I've held off all the*ota*updates waiting to see if any exploits have led to root on the s6 EDGE+ FOR Verizon.
I sideloaded the samsung Pay app and framework but when i go to run it i get the message a software update is required. Im assuming it will push through the*otasoftware-updates I've been putting it off essentially since i got the phone or 2 weeks after launch. I bought it with a contract discount but its not a financed or leases phone so i own it at least.*
My biggest concern is that i update now and lose the future possibility to root it due security loop hole. I had an S4 and i initially had mdk firmware which you could get more feautures, but without thinking when i received the phone iupdated and lost the MDK version. I just don't want to run into the same situation.
specially with having to take apart the whole phone to take out or replace battery I'm scared or running the update now and then if ivtry to root later It will brick my $750 phone.*
What do you suggest? Should i run the update the samsung pay app offers or should i run the*OTAupdates from Verizon software update menu. Then if anyone finds root or makes an6 other progress in opening up the phone.* i noticed there has been at least 2 ota
Updates ps OG4 & OG9. Im also hoping we get msrshmallow 6.0 sooner with the next*OTA*update after today's*ota*for Samsung pay support. DO you think i would run one update over another or just update to current version that was released today?
Thanks for the help in advance.

Root has been impossible even on the factory firmware that comes on the phone. Hopefully someone will find a way to disable KNOX so we could root (as it's as easy as OEM unlocking the phone through the developer options settings menu and installing a rooted firmware), but so far there hasn't been any progress...

Yeah i know on earlier versions knox could be disabled on s4 and s5. It doesn't help that not only do we have the s6 edge but the edge plus. Our phone represents such a small subset of owners it means its like million times harder to get a phone to a developer that can actually hack it/root it
So i pulled the twist so i can use samsung pay since it finally arrived in my play store as an option. After i updated the first time samsung pay still said i need to update so o updated to the most recent software OJ2.
Got a new update but its not 6.x its just security updates. Really doesn't say what updates as usual.
Just a monthly maintenance update

Nope. Just a security update as stated above.. Hopefully the update in January will include the WiFi calling.

Which is odd, being that the update rolled out at the beginning of the month. You would think the Edge + would be a part of that rollout.
Great no Root, no marshmallows. Love the phone but this should be getting newest sw since it came out with note 5 and they're supposed to be flagship phones but vzw is taking a top spec phone and lock it down so you can't take advantage of the upgraded hardware on the phone.
We jumped on a new, plus sized version, full feauture new tech phone. We spent extra for the phone foregoing the micro sd card and user accessible battery so at least let us experience the benefits of having this phone with software that can exploit these features instead of keeping us on lollipop and locking down the bootloader and preventing root. The s5 and s4 even in lolipop are rootable along with most of the s6 and s6 edge by other US providers. At least let us utilize the features we paid the extra money for the edge plus especially mine is the 64gb version and i would've gotten the s6 edge w 128gb if i knew vz would neuter the phone capabilities.

Really? Samsung needs to release Marshmallow on the hardware before Verizon can - so don't knock Verizon for "locking it down"
You don't need root to "utilize the features you paid extra money for."
Yes, it would be nice to have a rootable phone, but you knew, or at least should have known, going in that vzw phones are now nearly impossible to root.
Your heart is in the right place, but your arguments make no sense
I gave up my Note 4 Developer edition.. Which had a open bootloader and all that. I came fo this understanding I wasn't going to root, especially since theres no SDcard. I came for the pay features and other goodies. Im not missing root as I thought I would as every phone ive had since android 1.6, i rooted.

I agree with you - this is the first Android phone I've had (and I've had them since Cupcake) that isn't rooted.
Hello fellow xda users! My name is Eric, and my dad works for samsung. Most kids dont usually mess around with rooting their phones (especially when their dad is a vice president of samsung) but who cares? My Samsung Galaxy s4 was my daily driver since 2013. But I wanted to do so much to my phone that I carelessly rooted it. When I rooted it, it was fine until after a year. It started to lag, the audio started not to work (only would work sometimes), and would often get stuck on the loading screen. So when the S6 Edge comes around, my father and I hope to trade the s4 in for the s6 edge (with jump program from tmobile). BUT they said the warranty was voided and that i they could not trade them it. But that was MY bad so I kinda understand.
But today, I turned in my non rooted (was rooted) s6 edge (that was cracked) to samsung. I wanted to upgrade to an s7 edge (hopefully i dont have the urge to root that one). So by sending my s6 edge to samsung, they repair my screen for free (since i am part of a vice presidents family). But I'm worried they are gonna find out about my root. I've returned my S6 edge to stock rom but the knox warranty is tripped to 0x1. If I get passed samsung without them detecting my root, and my phone is repaired, I can go to Tmobile and trade the s6 edge for a brand new s7 edge. But im also concerned about Tmobile too. Will they find that I have rooted? Or am I fine?
I guess the overall question is: Will Samsung and T-mobile not accept my Phone if its been rooted? (i returned it to stock but knox is tripped)
No
