DISCONTINUED [BS_FREE_MM_6.0.1_Rom_PF4_Based_Rooted_Deodexed]

[al50]

Getting root became progressively harder, I am here to exclaim. That BAT 4 'method', with general, non-specific, clearly mispelled instructions, with the ambiguous vague idea; is the only one that worked for me.

For some reason, flashing the older Kernel with Odin, just STOPPED the process cold, every single try. I always try three times, to eliminate my own human errors.

So I experimented with KingRoot. Don't play too much with that. You'll end up starting from scratch again. I can Odin back to stock with my eyes closed now, I've screwed up that many times! KingRoot is full of busy things that are happy to erase root code if needed! Pick a process and delete it! WOOHOO! Don't go there with KingRoot. It didn't go well for me, is why I don't recommend it.

As soon as KingRoot announces that you have root? Get out as efficiently as you can! And that won't happen, unless you have a paid Google Play Store set up, already charged the four bucks to your credit card, for SuperSU Pro, able to be downloaded on a fresh install immediately after getting the phone up to speed.

If not, like my first few tries without the paid app, KingRoot starts taking over your device.

So getting root was extremely difficult; and unlocking the bootloader, was a walk in the park, by comparison. I am here reading this, because after I was at long last, I am able to use CyanogenMod...

...and lo and behold, CyanogenMod has closed it's doors and turned off the lights. So I'm seeing some promising stuff here....

I'm going to flash this ROM. I'll report back about it soon.

I am smart enough not to panic and pull the battery, even though it's taking a long time. It's not my daily driver. I can let it soak all night! It's hung up on the splash screen.

It's because I was running Lollipop and this is marshmallow huh? That's why it's hung up huh?

Good thing I have a nandroid to flash back to Custom instead of having to start over again. Or do I? This is the first time I'm going to try using that image I backed up using TWRP 2.7

wow it got hot! I pulled the battery. I am letting it cool off. Next line I type will be describing the process of restoring my TWRP backup...

The instructions in the root thread are pretty clear and easy to use.....You need Kingroot to root your device.....you need to select the "up" arrows or drag the arrow up until you see "Try it". Press it a few times and that's it. DON'T SELECT ANYTHING ELSE. Exit from Kingroot and open up SuperSuMe and press the selection to remove Kingroot and WAIT until SuperSu is installed. You'll see a blue status bar at the bottom of the screen.....it takes me about 15-20 minutes to root the device after I've Odin'd the PB1 tarball.....so it's not as hard as you're describing it to be.....lol

Difficulty levels are arbitrary, I am obviously inept compared to your ability. I insist that it is hard for me at least.

I Odin back to PB1, rooted with 2.7.0 TWRP recovery.

This PB4 ROM will not boot, last try I let it cook on the Verizon splash screen for more than one hour. It's so sad it's funny. Should have seen how I slapped my forehead about (it also flashes a recovery) rendering the backup useless, is why I had to Odin back to stock 'again'.

anything that doesn't say dev aboot or devbootloader you should't be flashing on a unlocked twrp capable device
thats your problem you aren't reading
if you want stock tw rooted and have a cid15 device you want THIS rom

follow the instructions in the bootloader unlock thread make sure you are on QA1 with TWRP 3.0.0.0 and then flash THAT rom

Doubt

This may sound like an stupid question but I have a locked (I'm cid11) bootloader is there a way to use this room with root access?

This development is actually for both CID11 & CID15 but, it's a bit outdated.

I would recommend that you try the following development that's for both CID's and just recently launched too by the same developer as this one.

Hi, I have tried your modified rom and it seems good, clean enough of bloatware and other unnecessary softwares. except one thing is necessary, this rom can not connect any vpn application, all applications show the message that the device does not support VPN.
