I'd be extremely grateful if anyone could offer any potential pointers on where to download a safe stock ROM for my device and how to flash this ROM when I have no working TWRP (since my /data partition is, again, encrypted). I tried looking for stock ROMs for SM-N910U online but the sites that came up (there were about 9 hits on Google for my baseband) all seemed fake and potentially harmful.Įven then, I don't know how I would flash the ROM since my TWRP doesn't work but that's the least of my worries at the moment. To factory reset a rooted device, you apparently need a stock ROM. Īpparently, even this would be a challenge. I tried to flash with CWM to see if it would support decryption of /data partition, but CWM isn't even compatible with my device.Īt this point I was running out of things to try (I had been after this problem for about three days) and I decided to just kick the bucket, unroot and factory reset, because apparently the only way to undo data encryption on Android is to delete everything. I tried using FlashFire to skip recovery and got the same result - /data encrypted. This means that I could not use TWRP to flash the Xposed Framework zip (because TWRP for my device does not support encryption, thus could not read /data directory.)

Originally, I had found myself unable to login to the app Snapchat because they had gone to extreme lengths to lock out rooted users (an infamous fact on online discussions).Ī popular solution for this would've been to install the Xposed Framework with RootCloak to hide root from Snapchat - this is where my first problem came along. Ill cover both below, but make sure to download the proper file for your particular version of Android. Everything will still work the way it has with Android 5.0 through 5.0.2, but there are a separate set of files for the newer Android version. It's rather long, so if you would like to skip this section there is a tl dr at the end. UPDATE 11/17/15 The Xposed Framework now officially supports Android 5.1 through 5.1.1 Lollipop devices as well. What follows is the original story and my attempts to fix it.
