SRS Root? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

Hey guys, take a look at this. I'm not very familiar with this, but is one-click root now available for our latest firmware?

Can anyone verify if this is legitimate ?

I was thinking about giving it a try myself, but the site looked pretty shifty. I noticed someone had also mentioned this on the regular S6 page and was also seeking confirmation on the legitimacy of it. If I didn't use my phone for work, I would jump on this in a heartbeat. Future thanks to the brave soul that dives first.

I can't find *any* verified success with that app on *any* device. It seems like a slick way to get some malware, but that's about it. I won't be the first to try it anyway.

I downloaded that software and 1: it couldn't connect to their "server" and hen windows defender found malware in it humorously called ZergRush. If you don't get it, look it up on Google. You will get a fun game where little "viruses" attack your searches. If you haven't gotten it yet. I can't help you. Haha ?

Downloaded.. installed. Virus software freaked.. said to ignore it.. ran it.. says it rooted but ... I see nothing different on the phone.. it's likely whatever this is may be for the prior update? Says it's for the latest build but I get nowhere.. says it's rooted and done but.. nothing.. likely fake.

Have you tried su yet?

I did attempt to install from the Playstore..says no su binary ...
Here's a list of files that come with the EXE though.. and a virus? Who knows. I've not seen anything .. I'm using an old laptop that I don't care about so I took the risk.

I transferred that root3c.apk to my phone and installed it. Ran it, and says; "Your device seems not vulnerable to exploit included in Framaroot" ...

Hmm.
I guess the easiest way would be to get root checker from the play store.
I'm just going to guess that it didn't work though.

It says 'Sorry! Root acess is not properly installed on this device' .. so I have no idea what this SRSRoot even does. Wish I knew more about this stuff so I could check to see if the files included in the installer are even legit. It's likely fake.. What they're getting out of it I have no idea. But the fact we don't have root from the usual places tells me there's no way these clowns figured it out. Like I said, I wish I knew how to do this because I would actively be looking for an exploit or whatever it takes to get root.. I just feel if there's someone actively trying to root, it's not a priority. Could they have really locked it down this tight? I find that highly unlikely.. The bootloader sure, but root? Every device I've had was able to be rooted..

I don't know, as I think it was the note 3 that was just barely rooted.
But I heard there was an exploit found for qualcomm devices that can give root access. So it's just a wait to see if it will work for our devices.

True.. it's just so annoying. They'll likely find root for the S7 ... who knows, maybe it's chip based? The main reason I want root is because I've switched to ATT and the LTE band in my area is on Band 4 ... The S6 Edge from Verizon will work on the LTE band here perfectly but I need root to make the phone use LTE only. Currently, if I put my ATT SIM in it will connect to LTE fine, but once I get a text, call or whatever, it switches back to the H+ which isn't bad, but it's not LTE either..

Ah, I see.
Well, I'm just hoping that theyou find a way to get root access, especially since the AT&T variant just recently achieved temp root. So who knows, maybe in less than a month it could work for us too.

I honestly thought about selling it and switching to a nexus just for the updates that they actually get. But I decided against it because this is one of my favorite phones

Agree 100% with the above, and I opted for the 128gb variant too...smh I was thinking about trading it in but for what? An shiny new S7 Edge that looks pretty much the same and is probably locked down even tighter?

I have 2 OnePlus 2's I use on AT&T .. Unlocked bootloader, rooted.. No hassles, no issues. Unlocked is the way to go. That's for sure and I learned the hard way.

Why would it be a deal breaker? Having S-On only means that you have to flash the boot.img manually which takes approx 5 seconds to do. You can still root and flash custom roms etc...

I guess some people just don't like the super hard work of doing things manually. /sarcasm
Well, I had a One X for a while and flashing the boot everytime a new rom version was released or changing roms got a bit annoying after a while. I also like being able to flash a rom without being connecting to a PC to fastboot.

Yeah "a bit annoying", that's as far as it goes. As for being a deal breaker, I don't think so.
Some roms don't require you to flash the boot.img manually, such as ARHD
Wasn't there an app that would allow you to flash the boot.img from the phone itself? I think I remember seeing it mentioned on the AT&T HOX boards, but I never used it.
They should stickie the soff issue so users don't need to ask.
Big letters soff not yet
Nothing against the op. Just saying for info purposes

Respect his opinion, you have your own view on it and obviously he has another
S-ON and locked bootloader is also what kept me away from this phone, starting on Samsung now and just going to port sense over.
This device can flash boot.img's, kernels, whatever from recovery. Unlike the one x with it's tegra processor. s-off doesn't really give you any benefits EXCEPT being able to downgrade firmware if you choose to do so.

^^ If you're htcdev unlocked how can you flash baseband, newer hboot version etc.?
Since this is Qualcom, will the ATT Qualcom One X S-off method be a possibility? Certainly glad its not a tegra..

You've used it? If so that's a very relieving change... coming from a HOX. I'd live with it anyway, but flashing kernels in recovery will save alot of headaches

No sorry. I haven't used it yet, few more weeks to wait for mine. But, with a Qualcomm processor you can flash kernels from recovery just fine. Look at ROMs like renovate for example, everything is from recovery now. I just don't see s off being a have to have thing like it was a couple years back with devices like the dhd. Tho s off could be useful to downgrade software ( flash an old ruu) or to change the unlocked flag back to locked for warranty purposes. Maybe I'll get lucky and get a s off one ** fingers crossed**

Anybody who wants to flash custom kernels, should know the basic workings of ADB and fastboot. Some devs modify the ramdisk with their kernel, which can cause issues, if you decide to then flash another dev's kernel. A simple fastboot flash boot boot.img, will restore the stock ramdisk and save you a lot of grief.

[ROM][STOCK]Sprint One Stock Odex and Deodex 1.29.651.7 || Updated 4.24.13 ||

This is an old build! Please see the updated build (1.29.651.10) located here.
Here is an almost stock 1.29.651.7 ROM, both Odex and Deodex, based on my Sprint One system dump. I flashed both and everything appears to work fine. If anyone finds an issue, I will correct it and re-upload. You can flash this right after you flash TWRP (read below), as this has root and system rw protection already disabled (read here).​

Pretty excited to see you here Viper, always liked both your and mikey's roms on my various phones. Happy to see you come over!
So at this point is there any value in waiting for root/s-off without dev unlock or should we just take the plunge when our phones get here Friday? I had S-off on my 4GLTE but read there were issues for those that had to S-on/dev unlock. Just don't want to be in that position although I don't know much about what they had to deal with specifically.
Thanks again for creating roms!

Also, can you test to see if wireless tether is working now that you have root access? I have a tradeshow I will be traveling to next week and would really love to not have to pay for internet in my hotel and on the tradeshow floor.

It's always nice to have S-OFF, but right now, it doesn't seem like it's going to be a big deal. I worked around the goofyness of recovery not being able to write the boot.img, I do it a different way and know it works for sure so there should be no issues when flashing ROMs.
As far as wifi tether, I just fired it up. Grabbed the latest from the Play Store, and changed 3 settings to make it work.
Settings > Change Device Profile > Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)

I also enable access control so I can see who is connecting, but I successfully got my computer to get online by using this.

I'm not sure what you're asking, but I think I quite clearly explained how this was different from "out of the box" in the first post.
The only other thing that would be different is that it's missing some apps that were in /data/app. HTC thought it would be a good idea to put these apps there (for whatever reason) but when you dev unlock, it wipes data and those apps. This was a problem on the International One as well. I will try to get that fixed here too, but I don't remember the apps being anything too important.

Sorry for the super newb question but would it be possible for someone to write up a basic guide on how to get this working (rooting then installing one of these stock ROMs from this thread)? I am use to having a device with a microSD card slot so not quite sure how to flash zips especially after doing a superwipe. From what I gather, the steps go something like this:
1. HTC dev unlock
2. Use the Toolkit to flash TWRP
3. Use the Toolkit to "Perm Root." Does this just push SuperSU.zip to the device then do I need to actually go in and run it from recovery? Or will it do that automatically?
4. Do a superwipe. Do I just copy the superwipe file to the device then run it from recovery? I assume this file completely wipes the device so not even the OS is present?
5. Install the deodex or odex ROM from this thread but how do I do that without a microSD card slot?
Again, sorry about all the basic questions but if someone wouldn't mind coming up with a detailed step by step guide for the newbs, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Well yeah just to get signal back. After I installed viper rom is when i started to get this probelm. Ive had the viper rom for awhile and if my phone died or i had to restart it would loose signal so basically i would have to restart the phone again to get it back but now for like the past 5 days it seems to have lost it for good

lol well a little to late now i didecided to go back to stock and i was following this one video on youtube how to do it so the phone says it is relocked now but when i went to flash the ruu it kept on saying signature fail. and all i can do now is boot the phone into the bootloader. Any suggestions in how i could fix this??
You dug a deeper hole for yourself. Nice.
Well now you need to unlock bootloader, flash custom recovery, and adb push or adb sideload a rom to get booting.

It's great you want to help, but if you are unsure, then maybe you should be honest enough to say so. don't pretend to know everything (nobody does, and I will be the first to admit it!!)

at OP, please disregard 99MB """RUU"""" (not sure how many quotes i can put)
go with @SaHiLzZ
What are you talking about? The first post ask for an RUU. If it's not what's wanted then so be it. But when did compiling a kernel ever occur in this equation? Do you know how to use HTC dev to find ruu's? It's all in the same spot. Been that way since the website opened. If an ruu exist it will appear in all after search is done.
If a full one isn't there then it isn't there. But it's a good spot to look.

No its NOT a good place to find RUUs, and should not be the first place to look.
OP, best to look at WRITTEN guides (couple linked in my Sig) to get your phone booting.

HTC One M7 unable to do OTA

So my situation is that I have previously bricked my phone, sent it to HTC for flashing and now after that, I am unable to install the OTA update for Sense 6. The download is fine, verification is fine, only at the installation part where the blue bar will go up to about 30+% then it will give me a red exclaimation mark error where it will then restart and the version will be as of before.
Things I've tried: clearing Updater cache and resetting phone both didn't work. I saw something about resetting the cache in the recovery or something but I realised that I have no recovery in my bootloader. Is that normal or is that something HTC forgot to add in after they reflash the rom for me?
Thanks for any help given.

I came back from cyanogenmod. Didn't really like it cause the camera was quite bad. And the battery life is about the same as the stock also.

Do you have access to someone elses device, the calc and flashlght were initially in the data partition, so you can copy from them. There are blown away when you unlock the boot loader.

this is really odd.. none of the links in the thread seem to be working (The dropbox ones at least) however I've just downloaded a SkyDragon M7 v2.0 ROM, is it possible to extract the .apk files from there instead? sorry for the late reply, btw, Tapatalk didn't notify me..

What's this software version? 6.16.651.2
And there's nothing here that indicates a release date.
That is the software version for Android L . I can't share internal email from HTC . but I will tell you that Wi-Fi calling is good and runs very smooth. I just wanted to give everyone heads you should see update very soon.

Is there an exact release date, or is it one of those situations where they're aiming for the first week of February, but it could miss?
ETA Feb 5th . Keep in mind Sprint not happy or don't approve it. Delay may happen. It is the test lab right now.
Meh. Sprint being happy enough to release an update isn't saying much to me. This phone currently has a lot of weird network glitches. The handoff from one LTE tower to another is poor, and it drops back to 3g far too easily. Its not even signal strength that is the biggest problem.

Guys I was thinking about rooting my phone, If I am rooted will I get the official OTA Lollipop update or not?
Also my phone was unlocked by sprint before I moved from USA, If I root my phone and install a custom rom
will I lose my international unlock?

I can tell you that if you root your phone, you'll have to wait for a rooted version of the Lollipop update to be released, or you'll lose root when you install the OTA.

No and no.
To take the OTA you will need a STOCK recovery and typically an unaltered version of HTC's Android (though sometimes it will take the OTA and just break root.
You should not lose international unlock since that is done completely different (a much deeper level then base android). If you do lose it for some reason call sprint and they will reissue your unlock code.

I'm not saying he doesn't know what he's talking about, but we all know sometimes things get mixed up. Just gotta wait and see. I, for one, hope it's for certain.
I think it's funny how everyone is soooo excited about Lollipop...once it arrives everyone will do what they always do regarding a new update.
They will complain!!

Lollipop works pretty decent on my OG N7...NOW. But that first release; I'd rather have had a root canal.
