Me again. Well, I'm not whining about my 6.0 anymore. I got that this morning.
So I tried Pingpong and Kingsroot again since neither would work on 5.1.1.
My 13 digit build number is a little different after M, but 5 of the numbers are still off from the list of supported devices for root.
But anyway, I use Purify, a task manager made and recommended by xda, that is part of the Kingsroot that won't work on my phone, but the Purify does.
After being unsuccessful at trying to root with KR, I thought I would hit the Purifys Boost button since I was right there anyways.
But now the Purify app just keeps running and running. No button on this phone will do anything as Purify is running.
I haven't looked around to see if Purify is incompatible with 6.0 or something as I have very limited access to the internet with my phone not working.
I don't know what you call an app that won't stop running. Is this what they call a bootloop or a soft brick or a (egads) hard brick?
I'm hoping after the battery dies and the phone shuts down maybe all will be as it was.
Thank you all very much.
