I think this thread is needed. I am an HK snapdragon S10 owner and really want root, I tried the method that is available which some claim is only for Exynos but no official word of it that I found but after flashing patched firmware, phone wouldn't go into recovery. Unless I did something wrong it doesn't work for Snap. Flash back OG firmware.
REGARDLESS, this thread I feel is needed to discuss this and methods, etc etc etc. This is mainly for HK Snaps but U.S Snaps can join this thread too but doubt there will be anything for it.
Hmm, I thought of trying on mine too, but I don't have time to do it until May. Good to know you didn't brick your phone. I'll give it a shot when I have time too just in case.
Did anyone else try it?
I thought I read someone tried but he didn't get far. Trying to find his post.
Yeah, I read he got to Odin stalling at verifying his patched file or something. Doesn't mean it doesn't work tho. I want to try for myself when I have time, unless more people try and they all say it doesn't work. Also, maybe we could try with Heimdall on Linux.
Yea I think he did but for me it flashed my file fine, just the next step I couldn't get to work, booting to recovery.
Based on the documentation, I think that pressing the buttons right for booting sounds a bit finicky. Even for accessing download mode on my phone when I unlocked it, the button combination wouldn't work right away. Same for standard recovery, I had to use adb to boot to recovery for the first time, then after that only did doing it via the buttons worked. I'm wondering if it could be something like that that was the problem for you. Like, I wouldn't necessarily assume it doesn't work at the moment, even though I doubt it works with the SD variants. I think it deserves more tries from more people.
I agree, it could just be fails on my part, I may try again but once I flashed back to OG it had to wipe my data and don't want that to happen again unless I know root will work. I wish topjohnwu would state if it works on snap. So many people asked him on twitter but no answer.

Yeah, I asked him too. And it's why I'm waiting for next month before trying it myself. I don't have time to go through the process right now, but I'm down to try it a couple times in a row once I have time.
I guess I'll join this thread too. Haven't tried the root method but don't want to risk unless I know for a fact it works in HK.
I'm waiting to buy s10e snap for this reason. No root, no buy..
I choose Android because of its freedom vs Apple system. I want to do anything with MY phone.
Root should always be allowed, and each user then takes the conscious risk!
I prefer a waiting Lounge versus the waiting room! Since we will be here awhile...
Not 100 on it but I asked some guy who knows his stuff and has done some root for older HK Samsungs like Note 9 etc. Hes saying I need to compile a kernel with root protections etc removed, patch with Magisk and flash in Odin. Then you'll be rooted. For me specifically, the HK S10 kernel source is not out. Got to request it and wait. All of this could get us root. If someone wants to try this method with the HK S10 Plus or e since those kernel sources are already out, that would be nice to see if it works.
Has any one tried the CROM method by any chance i thought that app was specifically for unlocking the Hong Kong bootloaders
HK S10 checking in
SM-G9730 here, Excited for a soon (hopefully) root.
Crickets chirping
Don't hold your breath. Anyone who bought a US Snapdragon S10 thinking they would get root is fooling themselves.

Anyone over here crack the new bootloader? If yes please port or provide the info to a skyrocket dev. Our devices were released with the new bootloader so the jig no longer works on the SR. From what I can tell the new load for the GSII has not been released or pushed out yet but it will be...
We had older bootloaders to go back to. Unfortunately the skyrocket shipped with the newer bootloaders.
Try following the write up by creepyncrawly on how to flash without tripping the flash counter. Just make sure you can restore your phone if it messes it up as it's not been tested on the skyrocket to the best of my knowledge.
Sent from my páhhōniē
Wouldn't be able to use my guide unless someone over there created a package like Entropy512's stock plus root, but for the Skyrocket.
On the other hand, might be able to root and flash with the new tools that are out. Not sure if all of them support the Skyrocket though.
Someone did make a secondary bootloader that would allow erasing the counter if installed after someone accidentally flashed the KJ4 bootloader(the new one) which blocked the jig reset. It's somewhere in the android development forum.

That is for the SGH-I777. It's the original secondary bootloader from UCKH7, the original stock rom. That WILL NOT work on the Snapdragon. Different processor, different firmware.

That's what I was thinking, them inputting their own rom.
Excellent point on flashing with the new tools. If mobile Odin works for their phones it'd be just what they're looking for.
Edit: just checked, no option for skyrocket users yet.
Sent from my páhhōniē
no we have root but there are still some procs that trip the counter without warning. I know this is low level software otherwise it would clear with a super one click but there still needs to be a way to clear this counter.
BTW the new tools do not work with our 2.3.6 load. it appears they wanted to fix (and did) the zergrush exploit. None of the other exploits work either. In order to get root, you either have to run 2.3.5. at that point you can OTA to 2.3.6 and not loose root. SOmeone also built a flashable 2.3.6 ZIP file.

As in, taking our "jig-uncrippled" SBL and trying to flash it on a Skyrocket will most likely hardbrick the device.
It's just another reason not to buy that abomination.
Seriously, please stop asking for Skyrocket help here. NOTHING that applies to this device applies to the Skyrocket except *possibly* maybe some of the screen tuning parameters.

No seriously YOU re-read the request. It was for a crack of code on the GSII. The abomination as you put it is the ATT GSII and not the SkyRocket but is there really a need to debate that?
With comments like this from recognized developers I loose more faith in XDA every day. I "thought" doing such things was the whole point of XDA, guess I was wrong.

Not necessarily. There are advantages to moving to a custom rom. Look over relevant stickies (at the top of subsections), review the OP of roms, read user feedback, then decide.
I rooted and expected to go to a custom ROM at some point, but as of yet there has been no compelling reason to do so. With some minor tweaks (removal of bloatware, mostly) and the right apps, stock is working just fine for me. I'll wait until we have ICS source and some new ROMs based on it before I go custom.
Only reason to keep a backup is for showing people the before and after.

Actually until the download site problem is completely resolved, it doesn't hurt to root, then make a backup of the stock ROM to keep just in case. If you do need it, then you've got it, and it doesn't take that much space.
Yeah, considering how often download sites go boom nowadays, keeping a local backup is probably a good idea.
Not sure if this question can even be answered yet, but I too am looking to root, but keep the stock ROM. I just got my i777 4 days ago and am wondering, if I root... will that, in any way, change the upgrading process to official ICS (I'm aware I may have to re-root once I update)?
Once you start removing things after root you will probably not be able to get any official updates. This is true of the current GB update available for the i777 (KH7). Removal of bloatware will cause the update to fail.

Going back to stock is a download and Odin away.
Then you can go to the magical Official ICS that will probably not come out anytime soon.
I'm going to wait until the end of march since that is officially when Samsung says they will have it for the galaxy series. Now I know that doesn't mean squat what with carrier delays and all that crap that slows the update process down,
For what it is worth(nothing) an ATT manager told me he heard the 3rd or 4th, but If it's not by the end of "late first quarter" i'll be rooting. Just doesn't feel necessary right now since I just got this phone...by the time I get bored with it hopefully official ICS and corresponding root directions will be out.

I've seen many people experience the same problem I have and it's that I can't install the Lollipop update at all. Tried this on my brothers Mate 2 and it didn't work as well and his is all stock (No root, nothing)
- Mine is rooted
- Stock recovery, switched back from TWRP
- Unlocked bootloader
Took this off of @GadgetStrutter cause I have the same problem's he's having
1. Extracted B309 to formatted SD card and tried to flash (Software install failed!)
2. Updated my rooted B126 to B148 and tried to flash from SD card again (Software install failed!)
3. Unrooted my B148 and tried to flash from SD card again (Software install failed!)
4. Reformatted SD card and redownloaded B309 and extracted it into root folder, and then trying again after (Software install failed!)
5. Rerooted my phone, but in B148 this time. Tried to restart and flash from SD card.. (Software install failed!)
- Got my phone from Wind Mobile, read threads and apparently made it into the stock B148 rom, (MT2-L03V100R001C00B148)
PLEASE, I'm HELLA impatient when it comes to software updates and I'm sure so is the Huawei community

The thing is, multiple users who have bought the HAM 2 from Wind have converted it to into the stock version and are able to update to Lollipop.

That's incorrect. While you can flash the stock b148 onto the CC/Wind variant, its not a full convert. Lollipop update will always fail. There is currently no way to fully convert or fool Huawei updater to think it is the OEM version.
I assure you, no one has gotten Lollipop onto the CC/Wind variant yet.

A TWRP backup won't work like last time. They changed partition sizes of the boot/system...so when TWRP tries to flash the Lollipop backup it runs out of space and fails.
I doubt that Wind/CC will update it.
Everyone is still hoping someone will come up with a way to flash it. Just gonna take some time.

Is there no available method to increse the size of the boot/system partition? I'm sure there has to be a way but someone isn't and wont look for it. Correct me if I'm wrong but can't you create a partition reserved just for that with an additional size adjustment?

I'm sure there is a way, but the developers here don't have the CC/Wind variant, and can't do any testing.
And they say it is risky thing to do.
Huawei should have been more clear but the Lollipop is ONLY for the US HAM2, MT2-L03. No variants are included, yet. That means Wind and Consumer Cellular will not work using the published methods.
I am not calling anyone a liar. If someone with a variant has been able to update to Lollipop then they really need to create a thread and post how they did it.
Perhaps this?

You could try flashing stock recovery, but I believe the update works without it.
Your final option is to do the OEM conversion just to make sure its fully OEM.

No disrespect, but your information is either oudated or absolutely wrong about not being able to convert the wind mobile variant. I just did it today following the guide with what other wind owners said and am running b322 now. I'm only writing this because your posts made me stay away from upgrading for a LONG time. If you don't mind annotating what you said, it would really help others.
So, follow the guide. If when you flash twrp it doesn't work seem to work, simply boot it instead then flash the oem zip and then you can flash oem 4.3. After that, following the guide you should have no issues going straight to b322. Don't do any updates through android itself, power off and use the three button method. It's not hard but it did take me close to an hour if not more.

You do see that this is a thread from July. A lot has happened since then. It might be outdated now but was most likely correct at the time it was posted.
Thank you for encouraging others to try the conversion\upgrade, though.
Yep, I know it's from July, but so is the conversion guide hence why it can be confusing, especially coming from a senior member. In any case, I hope this helps Wind users. I really like the new android and I can't say I've noticed any software bugs yet, it's running great!

I already posted this thread but it was in the wrong forum, so hi, sorry for posting a thread that's likely already been answered, I tried looking through the forums and I'm lost. I used to be really into the custom ROM scene and whatnot back in the galaxy S2, but haven't really been at it in a while.
So I bought my fancy new S6 Edge G295W8, and I'm looking at how I can go about safely rooting it. I checked CF-root but I didn't see my model number, it seems like samsung's adding in more and more model variations every generation. I'm also on a carrier that isn't mentioned specifically under the S6 forums, so that adds to the confusion. So what's a good and safe root to use? I'm still familiar with odin and flashing as pda and whatnot, so I won't need a tutorial on that, just a good starting point at a thread with a root that'll work for me.
And another minor question, any good ROM recommendations? How's the cyanogenmod support for my model? Are there any good clean roms with the edge features still intact?
Thanks in advance for your help, much appreciated.

Are you sure that's G295W8? Most of the model numbers I see are G925 instead. G925W8 is a supported model for the ping pong root.
As far as ROMS go, I haven't tried that as it would likely trip KNOX and void warranties.

Sorry I'm dumb, yes I meant that G295W8. I just tried pingpongroot, and i keep getting the root failed message. I'm on 5.0.2. Are there any alternatives? kingroot doesn't seem to support my model number.
Pingpongroot should work on the w8. Both of the s6s I've had (edge and regular) worked on it no problem. You just have to do the force root or something like that. Can't remember what the options were but it worked/works like a charm. Just trying to figure out how to do the recovery without wiping everything again...

Leave some posts so I know it works OK, I'm new to this
It would be good if someone could post if this rom was ok, as have a T825 rom built with the same method that I cannot test, due to having a T820 myself. So speak up please
Thank you for this. Now I have to ask a couple of newbie questions. I've been exclusively in the Sony Xperia and Nexus worlds before, this being my first Samsung. In trying to figure out if the processes I've become familiar with are applicable to this device, using your ROM.
For instance, my Sony's were pretty easy after the initial root. Kind souls in the community took new releases and created a pre-rooted firmware with TWRP and SuperSU built-in. I could then just dirty flash the ROM from TWRP, sometimes wiping cache/dalvic, and like magic my device is upgraded with no loss of data.
Is this how it works with this AQF5 ROM? I'm starting with a rooted (@ashyx method) T820 with AQBB. Do I just download the rooted ROM to SD card, boot to TWRP, dirty flash and go?
Thanks again!
Hi,
Dirty flash should work, sometimes I try that first and if I get any strange behaviour, do a wipe and re flash then load the rest back with titanium backup. Make sure you have all your backups organised first before starting.
Let me know how it works out. The risk with the first option is something residual being left that may result in force closes or just defeating the purpose.
Just beware if for some reason it doesn't root DM verity will occur and you will be forced to format internal data so back that up to your external card too, before, just in case, shouldn't happen though. I have no idea how many others have used this yet as there have been no replies to say all ok

Not sure I can use this ROM in Germany, what kind of modifications are made? Would love to see some development
As long as you have the same model T-820 you can, some local variants have a local customisation but it's likely to be minor with this model. From memory when I set it up on mine all common languages were available, if that's your concern, make sure you have a twrp backup and you can always roll back
The only mods were as listed above, seems slightly quicker, perhaps the zip aligning, but it will allow more mods as they come along

As long as you have the same model T-820 you can, some local variants have a local customisation but it's likely to be minor with this model. From memory when I set it up on mine all common languages were available, if that's your concern, make sure you have a twrp backup and you can always roll back
The only mods were as listed above, seems slightly quicker, perhaps the zip aligning, but it will allow more mods as they come along

I have always wondered about that. Flashing a base from another country. Like I live in the US so I always have flashed USA versions. You are
saying that I CAN flash this Korean version on my T-820 phone and have all working ok with English ?
Thank you

For the record, I don't live in the us but bought mine from best buys whilst there, it was rooted within a couple of hours from memory,..... can't help myself ?.
I Flashed a firmware from another country after that,, just because it was a later series, can't remember which.
I use the Tweaked one as my daily driver, people seem to be finding that good. I have found the latest firmware now seems to carry out a full wipe, and I haven't managed to flash a rom over it yet, so reverted back to the Tweaked version I have.
It may require an update to TWRP
If you have any problems restore your backup, if you want to persist flash the firmware that its based on first,AQF5, then flash the ROM over it, with our without wipe.

It will still work in English you just have to find which is your main language in the very beginning

Thanks,
This rom is not being developed any more,but the tweaked version in this forum, is based off the stock firmware which came after this,it runs stable, has a few enhancements and being a later base it's got a number of Samsung security updates too.
Would this thread be applicable to a Wi-Fi only S3 model "SM-T820NZKAXAR" ?
