    Is there a method for rooting the sm-g900p, 4.4.4. I have used cf-autoroot method with 4.4.2, does it require a different file?

    Hello Ron, Yes, the G900PVPU1ANK4 4.4.4 can be rooted.
    If you don't care about tripping KNOX counter or you already tripped it to 0x1 then you can use CF-AUTO root.

    If you have to keep KNOX at 0x0 you should not trip it. Here's how.
    1. Use Odin to flash the NE5 stock kernel.
    2. Install Towelroot
    3. Odin flash NK4 kernel.
    4. Install a fresher SuperSU
    Just look for the official kernel builds that might have been posted at http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s5/general

Paint On Galaxy Z Fold7 Phones Is Already Peeling Off, According To Consumers

By
The paint chipping issue reported by some Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 users appears to be a recurring problem that was also seen with the Z Fold 6. Despite users claiming they have not dropped their devices, paint delamination is occurring on the anodized aluminum body. Samsung’s support page for the Z Fold 6 suggests that poorly grounded third-party chargers can cause leakage currents, damaging the anodized finish and leading to paint chipping. This is why Samsung advises using only official chargers. However, since at least one affected user on Reddit reported using an official 25W Samsung charger, it raises concerns that the problem might not be solely due to third-party chargers. It could indicate potential issues with Samsung’s paint application process or possibly that their chargers might not fully prevent this damage under certain conditions. Received the phone and been using for almost a week. Treated the phone like a baby but the paint seems to start peeling off (sort of) day by ...
