Mostly its vol up + Home + power button combo when phone is off, but if yours already rooted download quick reboot or similar app to boot into recovery.

You can't get OTA now, never ever, this is why Samsung should die. Them and their dammed Knox. Knox is god-knows-what trigger that isn't controllers from software, once knox is triggered you can't have OTA on that phone. Guys who had two of them checked before/after and realtime comparison between them and didn't find anything different either, some thing there is a very tiny EFUSE circuit that is burnt with root/knox trip

Bro who care about Knox? At least not me. I was using custom ROM 5.1.1 and had to get Marshmallow I downloaded stock firmware (of different region) from samobile and flashed it via Odin. Now enjoying Marshmallow custom ROM.

A friend of mine had his S6 in warranty but he could not resist and rooted and then flashed Mm via odin. Our phones are Knox free and extremely debloated.

So I was replying him! Plus yea NO ONE cares unless you need OTAs, for that you gotta do Kies or Odin. That's a laughing stock that "your phones are Knox-free" ROFL, Knox isn't just apps pal. It is integrated into BOOTLOADER - YOU CAN'T REMOVE IT



HAHAHAHAAH

You didn't got my point buddy. We know that we can't get rid of knox from bootloader. What I was trying to say that we are Knox free in terms of OTA's and it's apps.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
