There are a lot of stagfright vulnerabilities, so maybe root?

is there any news about 870a?

I feel like this should apply to the 870a as well, but don't quote me on that just yet.

Anybody want to verify this?

 

[iComputer7]

Where are the mirrors? I'm getting a 403 error when I click the download link for PA2

 

[toneay]

I got the PA2 file, but the PE3 file is blocked. Can anyone mediashare it?

 

[darthmalus]

to bad there is not a way to get one with root and deodex, like the 900T has.

It just won't happen, unless marshmallow has an exploit in itself. Now I've heard that marshmallow will only work with the marshmallow bootloader, so no more downgrade opportunities if you update.

It's all in or out now for us, I'm thinking all in and hope like hell for a root exploit.

My 900T ive been using on at&t is running marshmallow and its rooted, i even put TWRP on it. My at&t s5 sits in a drawer collecting dust now. i realize that the at&t variants are encrypted but there has to be some way to find out if MM has any kind of vulnerability.

Well sure, but it was literally just released, and not even the official release, so it'll take some time for those exploits to be found. Then, those exploits will hopefully allow for privilege escalation, or they're useless. I have high hopes, being it's a new version, there should be plenty of vulnerabilities, at least until patches are released.

EDIT

I'd like to add that I have high hopes, because most marshmallow versions have obtained root at this point, I just found out they achieved root on both the Verizon and AT&T variants of the s7 and the edge. I'm really hoping those exploits can be applied to our phones.

---------- Post added at 12:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 AM ----------

I'd really like a mirror for the PE3 update, I am unable to access it from anywhere. I'm on an Active, but was going to guinea pig for everybody to see if it would work on our phones. So, if anybody has the file, would you be so kind as to share a mirror?

Thanks!!!

EDIT

Finally got it to download, once it's done, I'll give it a shot and report back. I might wait until morning to post results, but Active users, stay tuned!

 

[morphfxf]

Hey some of you guys could really help out with the mirrors my upload speed sucks

 

[AlanMaciiasz]

The word is you cannot flash marshmallow without the marshmallow bootloader
Effectively locking you out of root.

I'm waiting to see if someone can root marshmallow for this phone currently on lollipop

If you take this update can you downgrade back to PA2 using Odin?

 

[morphfxf]

No once you flash this you cannot go back to PA2 which is a lollipop based rom. PE3 is Marshmallow and has its own Marshmallow based bootloader. You will probably end up with a boot loop if you tried to flash PA2 over PE3.

 

[illmatic24]

Been waiting a while for this! Thanks! Is USB 3.0 MTP file transfer working for anyone? Can't seem to select the option, the device just defaults to USB 2.0.
update: nvm its working now.

 

[dave1977nj]

Need someone to root this !!!

 

[samccfl99]

Need someone to root this !!!

Must wait a while. Hopefully someone can. They did it for the S6 and S7. What is so tough about the G900A S5? I won't do anything until there is root, recovery and custom roms. I am fine on Rooted OC4 TMS5 3.0...for now...

 

[NavSad]

Need someone to root this !!!

Samsung builds above 5.1.1 cannot be rooted.

 

[ravennevar2012]

Below PA2:
1) Update to PA2 from here from ODIN on your PC
In Odin -> AP, BL, CSC, and CP

How do I complete this part in Odin? I haven't used it in quite some time. Do I need to un-rar the PA2 update or just use as is? Do I need to put the file in all the boxes your listed (AP, BL, CSC, CP) and then tick the checkboxes next to them? Any other options of things that need to be set in Odin before I hit start?

FYI: I am currently on PA1.

Thanks!
