Eng root will always have some sort of lag doesnt matter what device it is even with the s6/note5/s6 edge+

These are not supposed to be for public usage as i stated on other thread they are used for technicians "me" give us adb root to unlock devices ...

Anyone have the stock boot IMG so we can root then go do our thing then unroot? Or could we just flash the BL in Odin and be unroot?

So to unroot we just flash your unroot package in the OP? Or would a guy just have to re-flash the stock firmware files?

If your wanting to run stock boot.img you would have to reflash full tar image
