hey guys so I need some help or well I have a few questions I'm new to this rooting thing

if I use towel root will it trip knox?

if I install Ultra Power Saving Mode Manager will it trip knox?

will removing bloatware apps trip knox?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
No, only flashing custom firmware (kernel /recovery) etc. will trigger the knox flag to 0x1.

TowelRoot keeps the knox flag unchanged.

Neither installing nor removing apps will trigger KNOX flag.

At&t software update

Do you know if the at&t software update will unroot the s5 active? I have xposed framework and I just got everything how I like it. I would hate to have to do everything all over again. It starts downloading as soon as I connect to wifi. Should I just let it download?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Usually the OTA update will install new stock firmware ... this will unroot the phone.

So better to download and flash the new firmware manually ... e.g. flash it with Mobile Odin Pro app from Chainfire to keep root.

if you are not sure, i would ask in the thread of the rom in question. however, most touchwiz-based roms i've encountered state that they are touchwiz-based, or use beanstown106's base, which is alliancerom, based on touchwiz. so anything using beans's base is safe, anything that is just a modified touchwiz rom is safe. i don't believe safestrap even allows you to flash aosp, aokp, etc. roms, but those are what trip knox. anything touchwiz-based is safe.

For those not caring about Knox, I just flashed CM11, and am here to report what a lovely experience it has been. Very few issues with it. But to point out a few:

1) Camera. The stock camera works, but has an 8 megapixel limitation. However, head on over to the play store and get one of the HDR camera apps and it fixes that.

2) I hear people in there having issues with GPS. My weather app seems to be the only thing having trouble accessing my location.

Those are the only 2 bugs I have seen. Overall, it runs a LOT smoother than stock. I use my phone all day everyday, and believe me, if there were issues this post would be reading very differently.

Hope this helps any flashaholics looking for a fix. I have found it to be slim pickins out there for our device.

Alliance Rom v5.1 G900F

Hi everybody!

I need help. Cant install the Alliance Rom v5.1 on my G900F.

Just followed all the steps as discribed. Now i'm on Omega 7.1 with PhilZ Recovery.

Downloaded the Rom Customizer,searched the Rom via Root Browser on ext-sd and click open and install, .

Unchecked the google, samsung, black gass and white theme.

Checked Alliance AOSP Theme and Flash Kernel 900F.

Then I rebootet manually in Recovery, and after that the phone is somethin doing in recovery, but very fast and most time without any text,

then it reboots and i'm back on the omega rom full wiped.

What am I doing wrong?

Sorry im a new member from Germany and cant post under the alliance thread. PLEASE HELP ME! :crying:
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Hmm ... coming from Omega ROM, a full wipe is recommended anyway.

You have downloaded AllianceROM v5.1 and saved it to the internal sd card of your phone?

Maybe you have to re-download it again and check md5sum ... just to be sure that it's not a "bad" download.

Then start ROM Customizer app, select "Flash/Install from Internal SD" and select the AllianceROM zip file.

And just tick the options you want ... maybe you can try it without the kernel next time.

Select that you want to install/flash it later, then manually reboot in recovery.

The installation will automatically start as soon as you are in recovery mode.

about rooting

Hello everyone! A somewhat experienced user here.

My question is about rooting and the warranty issues related to it. I used to have an S2 to which I installed numerous custom roms, recoveries, kernels and so on. But a couple of weeks ago I finally upgraded to an S5, and I've been loving it! However, I still miss some features root access offered, like Xposed, Greenify and Titanium Backup. I got my old S2 from my friend when he got a new HTC, and the warranty on it had already ended so I had no worries going all h4x0r on that thing. However, my S5 is new. It's the European (I live in Finland) model SM-G900F with the Snapdragon 801 SoC.

I'm aware that my phone features Knox and an eFuse that will be "burnt" (value 0x1) in case the Knox warranty thingy is triggered. That's why I haven't rooted my S5. However, today I came across the little piece of information that in EU the consumer protection laws should guarantee my warranty anyway as long as it isn't proved that any malfunction is a direct result of rooting or installing custom firmware on my phone.

So now I'm thinking that maybe I should root the phone. Should I? Is there anyone with further experience with these EU warranty policies regarding rooting a phone? Also, I did not buy the phone in Finland. I bought it from Gibraltar while I was visiting there. I was just thinking that could that possibly affect whether or not my phone is under the protection of the EU consumer protection laws? It still has Samsung's EU-wide warranty, so I guess no?

Sorry for the hard-ish question. All answers are appreciated! ;)

If you have installed a newer firmware already, you may have to flash an older kernel/firmware, root with TowelRoot and then flash back the new new kernel.

Anything available that's like RoboForm?

I and most of my colleagues in the IT world use Roboform in our computers - it stores your login name and password for the websites you log into, along with the login url. You open RoboForm, click on the website you want from the list, and it takes you there AND enters the login name and password in those fields. You sit back, watch the blinkinlights, and you're in.

They have an Android version but the company is moving from selling stand-alone versions to selling a cloud service and they only have the cloud version for the Android OS. Keeping the login info for your bank and credit cards in the cloud - gee what could go wrong there?

A developer of one of the password keeper apps told me the combination of the Android OS and Android browsers doesn't have APIs that allow filling forms that way. This may be true since the RoboForm Android app apparently also includes its own browser.

So my question is, is there an app that can save and fill login name/password fields for Android?

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AttK0:
Thanks for the fast reply! Actually, I forgot to mention that I already knew about towelroot too. That's the method I was probably planning on using if I decided to root. However, It doesn't really matter since I'll probably end up installing a custom ROM and kernel with root anyway, so Knox would be triggered in any case. What I'd really like to know is whether the EU consumer protection laws really will ensure my warranty even with knox triggered. Though after browsing the forums for quite a while I guess I should be fine with Knox 0x1.
