Easiest way to get 1.29 ?

Hi
I am locked on Three and have issues with storage (using about 3GB but tells me i am using 24GB) and I understand that the update to 1.29 should resolve this.
I have been reading around and trying to figure out the safest and simplest way to do this but I must admit to feeling a bit overwhelemed with the different options and possible steps.
I have never rooted a phone before (if that is what I need to do) and would appreciate it if someone could advise what the minimum is I need to do to allow we to get updates without relying on Three?
Thanks

I guess your best bet is to root it and flash a custom ROM.

Thanks. Real newbie here, do you have a link that gives instructions for doing that?

I had the same issue with 3, i rooted yesterday and installed ahrd 8.1.0. Guide i used to root was

Use Joe's link to root it. I can personally recommend you ARHD as the ROM.

4.3 ROMs?

What ROMs are okay to flash if you have the Knox bootloader. Im so confused about this Knox thing. Ive read if it doesnt change your bootloader you will be fine and others saying i have to wait for a stok mk3 .tar (i do believe thats the right one) file to be available. one dev posted a rooted 4.3 rom and he said this wont mess with the bootloader. im just nervous dont want to brick my phone. someone please help and shed some light on this confusing situation

This should be Q and A section, and Cnexus posted a FAQ about this in general section....

and i think i read what he posted but im still confused its such vague answers. idk why people cant just say yes or no. instead of elongating there answers. I just want to know if there are ROMs that i can flash while on the obKNOXious bootloader

I'm running the cm11/kitkat experimental build and I have the new knox bootloader, the rom requires some tweaking, I will post it soon if the original dev doesnt incorporate my fixes.

If you want a simple answer, then here it is: you can flash any rom you want.
Only one catch: do not EVER Odin a full stock tar with version < MK3 to your device or you will instantly brick.

Thank you. First answer I've been able to understand. Just stay away from Odin and .tar files. About to flash your ROM so I can have root and from what I've been reading pretty good battery life as well. Thanks for your work man.

I've been running it with ART and I haven't had it reboot on me yet. I think once I was doing something with the camera gallery and the camera 'broke" and required a restart but I can't remember if that was when I was playing with cm10.2 or cm11.

well if this is the case than how did you get CM11 working? did you just download and flash from the OP if so can you share the link with me. And what is ART?

The original ROM checks for "know" baseband versions to make sure you dont try flashing the ROM on the wrong device. I had to unpack the ROM, add support for the new baseband and then repack the ROM inorder to get it to install. I also change he kernel cmdline to set SELinux to permissive mode by default (like it was in 4.3). I will post the tweaked ROM shortly.

It doesn't look like much can be done until we get recovery.
I've built a stock, debloated, deodexed rom but cant test without recovery.
I've tried to compile recovery but I am afraid it's beyond my expertise.
Let me know if I can help

I spent my free time arguing today didn't even see your reply til now. I'll see what's up tomorrow before work though and I believe a rom can be flashed via stock recovery if done right. .. Maybe I think I read somewhere we can sideload? Worth investigation if you have a rom to test yaknow but use caution

Stock recovery has sideload but I tried the rom with no luck. I did the update via sideload on my good phone (regretting it now) and it worked.
maybe because its signed by samsung.

Yeah there's another step and I think that's the updater script that has to be altered to mimic Samsung or ported to your rom but I am just throwing you ideas for now. Hope it helps

Wishful thinking from a non-developer:
- debloated AOSP
- deodexed
- overclocking
- fast charge
- mount as usb storage
- cwm recovery
While all of these things are what I'd love to see, fast charge is a big one. I use my phone as a GPS navigator on my motorcycle, powered via USB outlet. I'm not sure about this model but my PRIOR phones would lose battery power faster than the usb outlet would charge. Fast charge settings options would remedy this.
I've never built a rom. I think it's time I read up and learn why I don't have what it takes to build one hahaha.

what?

Knox bootloader, wondering if stock out the box comes with it or if the ota update is the bringer of it. .

Hey justlove, any developments on a CWM Recovery install?

Progress is slow but we're getting there..

I've been in frequent contact with justlovejoy over the last few days and we have been working diligently to get everything needed together. We are working on it and one or both of us will give updates as they become available.

If by "New" you mean some super meaningful "OMGOSH We're almost there!" type update... No.
All I can really say is that we are still working on it. I believe justlove and I are going to be a pretty good team, we are in daily contact with each other and are working as hard as we can given the circumstances.
I know this is going to sound like normal dev bull s**t but please try to be patient and I'll let you know when we reach certain milestones.

Mine did, but that was my choice. Used TWRP and just flashed the "old school" way. But have seen reports of people flashing this ROM with flashfire with no Knox trip

Good to know. I hadn't gotten in this forum until today. I decided to purchase the S6 because I could get it at a steal, and now is a great time to sell my S5, but I was having buyers remorse because of the lack of development.
I can't complain because I'm lazy and don't want to learn to do it myself.

Took The Plunge
Installed Sac's ROM through Flashfire and found myself wondering why I waited. Got everything set up as I wanted without any problems. Do remember to flash the Ktoonsez kernel after the ROM.
I don't care about Samsung Pay and I doubt that I ever will, so I installed TWRP right after. This felt so good, I see other ROMs in my future especially since sac23 says an update is coming soon. I feel like it is my phone again.
I also may try out this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...ebloated-rom-samsuing-galaxy-s6-edge-t3126661
@JoeFCaputo113 you really should think about doing this.

Using FlashFire (which I know that you have!):
Step 1: Choose Backup if you want. Then let that do its thing.
Step 2: After back, choose Wipe and accept defaults.
Step 3: Select the two zips, ROM and Kernel.
Step 4: Let her rip!

IF YOU INSTALL TWRP:
For anyone that does (and I did) there is a fix for the deep sleep issue posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60383471&postcount=49

TWRP, etc

How long will it take to get TWRP, custom ROMs, etc?

I don't think anyone knows right now. I know our phones have different partitions than others so it may take some time for it to be stable for us to use. I did see jcase post something on twitter about TWRP on a Pixel.

I saw a post in the dev thread (the only kernel thread right now) that they are working on twrp. The biggest challenge sounds like figuring out the file based encryption used on the pixel device.

I hope they hurry!

No disrespect was intended. My post is a lighthearted comment on life without a rooted device.

My guess is that they're trying to figure out how to best accommodate and exploit the dual partition goodness.

I'm patient. I was just curious.

Does anyone know where we can monitor the progress of TWRP?
AFAIK, the Dev isn't huge on posting Twitter/G+ updates but I could be wrong.
I'm not asking for a progress update (I may be lying).
TWRP and Xposed for 7.1 are the next huge things we're waiting on.
And then we all wait for our favorite ROM to get developed.
Dirty Unicorns or Broken OS for me please. :good:

Sounds like Ethan is making progress on TWRP but still has a ways to go.
