Hello everyone. I know I'm a noob, but am hoping I can get some help anyway. Tried searching and not too many people are having the same problem, so I started a new thread.
Anyway, I used the one click root found in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1348557
( I tried to post in that thread, but can't since I don't have 10 posts )
I'm new to hacking and I'll be honest. I only wanted to root my phone so I could use wireless tether, and then use Titanium Backup to freeze a lot of the bloatware on the phone. I have no desire to install a different ROM. I'm happy with the one it has, and happy to take the updates Verizon pushes. Everything was good until the latest update came through. When it downloaded, and rebooted, instead of updating, it booted in clockwork mod recovery. No matter what I tried, I couldn't get the update to go through.
So I settled on never updating again and froze the updater to prevent my phone from trying to update and going to CMR at random times. About 4 days later, my bluetooth quit working. Couldn't figure out why. Thought I was going to have to send it in for warranty work, so I tried to undo all the mods. I unfroze everything, and then hit the one click unroot button. It said it worked. Problem is, superuser is still installed with no way to uninstall.
My first question is this: How do I get superuser gone so my phone can be back to factory so they'll never know it was rooted?
Next I tried to go ahead and get the update since the unrooting process was supposed to have reinstalled stock recovery. Well, it didn't. I still ended up booting up into CMR again. STILL can't update even after unrooting. Double checked, and wireless tether and Titanium backup both say "no root". On a whim, I try the blue tooth and guess what. It worked. May not need to send the phone off for warranty work after all.
So my second question is this: Would freezing the updater cause the blue tooth to stop working? If so, how can I either keep it working or stop the updates without freezing the updater? It's like I have to choose between having blue tooth or having my phone randomly boot into CMR whenever it tries to update.
Third question, pertaining specifically to the one click root I linked to above: How can I get rid of the CMR? Is it possible to root the phone without installing CMR? If I can get it unrooted back to factory ( without superuser or CMR ), how can I root it again so that it doesn't install CMR and keeps the stock one?
I know this is a lot of question and I'm a noob, but I'm a noob willing to learn. If this problem has been encountered before, I apologize in advnace for not finding the appropriate thread. I tried.
updater app
Yes freezing the software update app will cause your Bluetooth to stop working. I used a app called Gemini app manager to go change the permissions of the software update app so it did not have any permissions to do anything. I have not been bothered with update prompts since.

There's no need. MTMichaelson has come up with a easy way to keep your phone rooted during the upgrade from ZV7 to ZV8.

Yes it will. Several people have reported this in different threads. I'm not sure of a way around this, but I think others might have a way around it. If you follow MT's method to keep root during the upgrade, you want have to worry about it!

There's no need to do this either since you can keep root and upgrade.
Here's what you need to do.
1) Go here and root your phone again.
2) Go here to upgrade to ZV8 while keeping root. There's also a method for reinstalling CWM as the upgrade will remove it.
This will: keep your root, get you upgraded, fix your bluetooth and keep CWM.
Good luck!

Ah, thanks. I'll post again to update how that went. Though, I'd like to keep the stock recovery. I'll try to do it without CWM.

How did you change permissions in Gemini? I turned off all the autorun features and was able to get Bluetooth working but I didn't see anything about permissions in the settings. I could have missed it though being at work and all. Will turning off all the autorun features of the Software Update app stop it from trying to download the update in the middle of the night when I'm not looking like it sounds like it should?
In gemeni select block app. It's the same as freezing in titanium backup.

So i recently got my replacement phone and i decided to root it just like my old phone. Ive had a Galaxy s 4 before and i was able to root it with CF auto root in the past. When i try now odin says pass but i get the binary error. Ive tried reflashing, wiping data and cache, TWRP method and i even got another phone but no prevail. I have checked the files and they are all recent and updated and i have also updated my drivers. Please tell me what im missing or if y9u have any idea why this is happening. Thank you for your time! Cheers!

What I have done in the past is used root explorer and gone in and deleted the apk myself and rebooted. No uninstall from play store or things like that. That is if root explorer works since you root might be messed up. If that don't do it. Odin back to stock and fresh download every file. Check md5. Start all over. Sorry man

Okay in that case you forgot to enable usb debugging in the phone.
Go to settings and navigate to "about" then scroll down until you see
"build number" once you find that click on it many times until it tells
you that developers option enabled and then go into developers options.
Then check the box which says: "usb debugging" to enable it.
Once that's done odin flash cf-autoroot again and that should
fix your supersu / root issue.
Good luck!
I didnt forget usb debugging. I will try flashing stock i guess

I decided to go ahead & root my S6 using the PingPong Root found here.
All went correctly, but when I go to open SuperSU I get the error 'There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!'
Any ideas on how to go about installing the binary needed? Thank you!

Uninstalled both SuperSU & PingPong Root. Reinstalled and had got the same error as before.

What happens when you run get root on pingpong? Sounds like it's not rooting you. Either 1) you did not open supersu before you ran get root on ping pong. Or 2) it failed to get root (either it tells you failed or it reboots automatically due to kernel panic). If your not getting a pop up saying root was successful, reboot now is recommended, then your not rooted.

I don't get that pop up. But my device does reboot.
I tried opening SuperSU prior to PingPong, but it only has the original error 'no binary'. After you press okay, it prompts you to installing SuperSU once again? Odd... Once you install the 'new version' and open that, it'll automatically open PingPong. From there I select 'Download data' then 'Get Root!'. Which then tells me to wait with a popup, and that is when my S6 reboots.
Ok. Now leaving supersu and pingpong installed, reopen pingpong, cancel the install of supersu. Place the phone on a flat surface. Try just 'get root' again. Sometimes background processes can flip out when pingpong panics the kernel to elevate it's privlages. It's taken me 4 or 5 tries a few times I've used pingpong (others only 1 time, I've had to Odin my S6 about 30 times so far lol)

Thanks for the prompt response Dennis!
I opened PingPong, canceled the install of SuperSU, then selected 'Get Root!'. Says my device is not supported (Though it is in the thread for PingPong). I select download data, (Says Device updated, please try Get Root again.) then I select get root. Unfortunately it reboots my S6 after about 2-4 seconds. I'll keep trying!
Aye, do the same steps I said, but add the download data before get root. Try to do it after everything settles from boot but before starting anything else.

Beta 6
Edit* Uninstalled both applications, and installed the 5.1 beta. When I select download data, it says to retry the Get Root as usual. Then I select Get Root, and it says 'Your device data is still not supported'.
Here's the quote from Idler in the thread. With option C. he says to possible do a factory reset? I have all of my contacts & photos backed up via my pc. Should I possible try and do a reset? Or do you think it's a waste of time.
Q: It just keeps rebooting, what can I do?
A: The exploit may panic the kernel and reboot your device. If the data is off, same could happen as well. When issue happens, try these:
a. Clean up background process before running root.
b. Turn on airplane mode after clicking "Download Data".
c. Backup your data and run factory reset.
d. Definitely avoid doing anything else when "wait!!!" appears.
If these doesn't help after 5 retries, there could be some issue, please collect the information in /proc/last_kmsg and send it to me.
Note: User reporting installing My Knox or enable other Knox feature (like enterprise provision or KNOX active protection) may cause reboot loop. Be cautious!

Alright. Best bet. Is reboot. Let settle. Set screen timeout to 10 mins. Turn off all apps you have running in the background. Open pingpong. Download data. Turn on airplane mode. Place on desk. Run root. Don't touch until hopefully it says your rooted. Of course you'll need to I stall beta 6 again before you do the above.
If trying that 5 times doesn't work you'll have to head over to the pingpong thread cause I'm fresh out of ideas lol.

Haha, no worries! I will give that a go.
Yay or nay towards a reset? I have a feeling I'll go through the hassle of resetting my phone & I'll have the same error.
Back up with smart switch. Reset but do not download any app but pongpong. That should help with the error, as it's cause by apps in the background running usually. After root restore via smart switch. All your apps come back, just not the app data unfortunately

Dennis, you are a legend! Finally got my S6 rooted after 2 long days.
Decided to go ahead and backup everything on my phone and do a complete factory reset. I did like you had said and only installed PingPong. Booted up the application, got a shut down like I did previously. Tried again, but closed all my running apps and when I was prompted to install SuperSU (even though it was installed when I ran it the first time) I went ahead and installed it once again. And voila, the root went successfully!

Glad to hear, now you just have to restore all your apps and stuff. I'd suggest titanium backup, back everything up and transfer to your computer. That way if you ever have to Odin you have all your apps set up and such for when you reroot after. Store them off the phone as Odin will wipe your phone completely usually.

How do i root my s6 been trying for weeks
I'm on M3 rooted with Despair kernel.
Got Android pay update and tried to activate it by adding a credit card information. It bailed out saying that my phone can't be trusted, I figured out that's because of root.
I tried to unroot in SuperSu. First by disabling Enable Superuser root button, second by Full unroot. Both methods didn't work, Android pay still couldn't be activated.
I then tried to format and flash boot, system, recovery MPA44I images. I started to get a RED message your phone can't be trusted on boot. Android pay still couldn't be activated. NOTE: I didn't erase data partition.
I don't want to do a full factory reset.
What are my options now ?

Go to the Android Pay app info, and uninstall updates. This will roll it back into Google Wallet. You should also go and uninstall the new wallet app if you have it so as to avoid confusion.
After that, I had to find an APK site that could update my wallet app back up to Version 9.0. I've since disabled auto-updates to the Google Wallet app until I see some signs of support for root.

Interesting, you're stock 5.1.1 rom like me but you're rooted w/ xposed. The only person rooted where it works is Simms22 and he's on JDX M rom which AP is said not to work. @simms22 what did you do special?
I thought i blocked it when I used the tool to unlock the google playstore and everything, obviously i was wrong.
Is there anyway to set it back to 5.0.1 or even 5.0.0, also is there any way to do that without losing all of my apps/information.
Or can i simple run that google playstore tool again. Thats all i really want on my tablet right now, dont reallly want to root kit it at the moment, and i dont wanna brick it, messing around myself. So if there is anyway to get the play store working on 5.1.2 again or resetting it to 5.0.1 or 5.0.0 with or without losing my data can anyone please let me know and help me out if possible. Thanks guys
Edit: Ok the original install google play tool still works with 5.1.2 without any problems and it still lets you reblock updates (as far as i know, it said it worked) and now my playstore works again.
What exactly did you do? Uninstall all the google framework etc? Just reflash the bat script?

Yeah i uninstalled all the google framework, the playstore any google related stuff. Re ran the the update blocking and re-ran the playstore install from the batch file

I have 2 tablets, and both were patched with Glytchy's script. One of the tablet never updated to 5.1.2 from 5.1.1, but the other tablet did, and it removed root.
I try running the script again on the 5.1.2 tablet, but it doesn't work (see picture).
How did you get it to work? Maybe your never really installed 5.1.2, and only downloaded it?
This doesn't work for me anymore. My fire updated and wouldn't sign in after that. I uninstalled all the google stuff. Reflashed the bat file posted by shadow. Now when I try to add my google account it says can't establish connection with the server.

I'm using this method. It didn't block updates or remove ads. It had worked just fine on the last 2 previous system os updates. http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/general/installing-google-framework-playstore-t3216122

Not sure which method you used as the linked post contains references to many other articles. If you used 'adb shell pm hide' then I'm not surprised it didn't work. Preferred method is to rename components responsible for providing OTA functionality.

Right - guessing it didn't work. Hidden components are easily exposed.

Damn I've restored it too, still no dice. My other 2 kindle fires are ok so far on 5.1.2
I bought them all at the same time.
I messed up and had my kindle automatically updated to 5.1.2
Same here, update to 5.1.2 and now rooting not possible. Therefore no FlashFire, therefore no custom rom, therefore lots of time wasted...
It is new guys, give it some time... I am sure people are working on it... Just keep an eye for it...

I have 2 tablets, and both were patched with Glytchy's script. One of the tablet never updated to 5.1.2 from 5.1.1, but the other tablet did, and it removed root.
I try running the script again on the 5.1.2 tablet, but it doesn't work (see picture).
How did you get it to work? Maybe your never really installed 5.1.2, and only downloaded it?

Google play installed successfully. Root failed because 5.1.2 was yet another d*ck move by Amazon to patch root.
