The only link I could find is this: https://www.codeaurora.org/projects...arsing-during-boot-image-authentication-leads
But it doesn't state that it's ready for the Note Pro 12.2 Verizon variant yet....

YOu have to be on 4.4.2... or you might be pissed....
Ge the root files from the CF-Autoroot and follow directions. then go to the Original Android forum and grab your recovery, they just completed the P905,...
Do that and your race ready...
If you are on the newest version of the ROM, please do you research before you flash to make sure that you have everything needed.
I only have file for the wifi P900...
Good Luck!

The question is....have they achieved it with the Verizon Variant? The Verizon Note 12.2 seems to be the hardest and I've not yet read confirmation that ANYONE has rooted theirs. The other versions have been rooted.....except the 905V.

It's a fantastic app created by Chainfire. Basically enables root users for example without recovery can flash ROMs,Kernels,xposed, software updates etc all through it.

So you have all options required to do what you need within the all such as wipe etc. If flashing any firmware, yes you'll have to reflash xposed. The great thing about the app is that you can put it in a queue to do it all at once so wipe, flash new firmware, flash xposed, done.

Staying stock right now as I'm sure the new update will be here in the uk within the month

Anyone on this latest version noticed a performance increase? Phone seems more solid and responsive (not that it wasn't already) and games apear to have lost the lag.

Probably a daft question but where can I find a definitive UK update? I've seen a few links on XDA but the information is muddied based on international variations. I'm currently rooted and running xposed v81. I also have FlashFire, which I used to flash the latest xposed. Thanks for any assistance.

On a related note I have an EE EVR build, could I switch to BTU or would that create issues for my device? I ask because the BTU firmware is more up to date than the EE.
First, flash ENG boot in the AP. Then, go back immediately and flash the CSC CP and AP of the ROM of your choice. Simple, easy, DOWNGRADE COMPLETE!!!

when some one tests this can they please do a video to prove if it works, also can we flash CSC that does not factory wipe the phone. also I don't remember for sure but isn't the U firmware bootloader 2 the international version with the unlocked bootloader?
I wanted to know you you could wip up a quick tutorial or steps for us . I can tell its really simple and easy. but once we unzip the firmware wont it then lose the md5 has and signature. of are the 5 files inside also signed.

Yep, if this works then the OP is a genius who's name will live on in the T-Mobile s7 edge forum. People will be able to flash the U firmware again. Can someone also verify that knox doesn't get tripped?

Since they are all official and signed files I would assume that this would not trip knox. But I can not verify for sure. Also I thought knox checks to see if the boot loader is unlocked.
I have another question. with an unlocked boot loader don't we still have the problem of dm-verity being enabled that would stop use form flashing mods and roms.

The main thing that *most* people want is the U firmware. Also, I'm not really sure exactly what knox does other than to not trip it.

If this works, this would be amazing. I don't want root, I don't want to even unlock my bootloader, I just want to put the U firmware on my T-Mobile S7.
Not to get off topic but what's the big deal about the u firmware is it Universal or is it unbranded with a lot less bloat. Or additional features?

It is unbranded, let's you uninstall bloat apps completely, and unlocks most us bands.

"Yes, you can downgrade APG1 to APD8!!!!!" pd8 i guess is bootloader v3. if he downgrade to bp8,this thread thread will be on fire!!!
I'm pretty sure pd8 is v3 bootloader also. Shouldn't be any issues downgrading pg1 to pd8 regularly, both same version bl.

It is not bad, but comes with a later bootloader which can limit some options.

I think he just meant if you want to have the phone reset to how it came out of the box. There is no root available yet.

So is it true that you cant cross carrier flash the firmware like the S7? Supposedly samsung blocks it or odin is outdated?
