 Hi there, I've been experiencing some problem since I flashed my Samsung
 Galaxy S5 with CM12.1 last week.

 Right before I was stil running the stock ROM (KitKat 4.4.2) with root
 access and it worked perfect.

 Now since I changed the ROM, could never connect Orbot. Tried with
 different versions unsuccessfully. I also asked for different bridge types
 (Scramblesuit, obfs3, obfs4, etc) but none of the worked.

 Right now I'm running 15.0.1-RC-2-PIE (Tor 0.2.6.10) and this is what I
 get when I enable Bridge Relays:

 "

 ''Unable to start Tor: java.lang.Exception: Torrc config did not verify

 "

 Question is, does it have anything to do with the ROM, the kernel, or
 nothing at all? I've been using Orbot for 3 years already and never got
 this kind of stuck.

 Thank you so much for your help.
