Android w/o root is still a ton better than iOS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] diehardbattery:
For me, the only thing I want root for on this device is titanium backup, and the ability to enable car mode which AT&T very stupidly disabled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] whmgreen:
I have a hard time saying this but I have to agree with the op. My excuse, powering savings mode. I can't live without it now, having gray scale and under clocking right at the touch of a button is sweet. I get three to four days per charge with heavy use. Plus I love the camera app, it's almost worth it for just that alone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] YoungAceAtlanta:
After using Touchwiz for a month or so.. i would definitely like to flash AOSP or something new. it's like the phone is starting to slow down or get buggy here and there.

Also Xposed has some great tweaks

Root isn't a deal breaker for me but it's always great to have options
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] hlb3:
I would miss xposed, but I could have managed with no root if Google wouldn't have F'd up the the external SD access. I really liked the phone, but couldn't justify dropping that kind of money on a locked down phone. I still pop in here every couple of days in hopes that an exploit has been found, but no such luck. I'm seriously considering picking up an international model pretty soon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Br4nd3n:
Glad to see an equal side oppositional in this thread, nice to see some agree with me. If I remember.. I did see something somewhere about a possible future update allowing more SD card writing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] David111jr:
i only want root so i can use the download booster feature that samsung advertises. but hopefully we will get that in a ota
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] natefish:
I'm not saying you're wrong, but the ES dev said the inability to copy to external memory is Samsung's doing. Also, I had stock, barebones kitkat on my S3 and it could do said function.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] KennyG123:
HTC M8 stock KitKat most 3rd party apps cannot write to sd card...Dropbox still can't. It required root and a fix to make some work. If you google KitKat and sd card trouble you will see it is KitKat, not Samsung.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cstayton:
it could do that because you had root and custom rom, stock unrooted kitkat will not write to external sdcard
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] nuwayman:
I can also confirm this running stock on my M8. Can't write anything to my external sd.

TMo S5 --> Rooted --> Installed Alliance ROM

I clicked a few snaps that went to external SD. And then I used QuickPic from market to delete pics. They appear to be deleted, but when you close and open the app again, they are still there. Only way to delete them was via the built in gallery app.

So its not AT&T issue, but more of OS issue that third party apps can't write to SD card.

But one thing I observed is that, I could move files from internal SD to external SD via Root Explorer. Felt strange since QuickPic couldn't delete pics.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] andrewdroid:
I don't even have an S5, I have an S4 but have been following this forum. The S4 barely was able to get root. There are a ton of apps I like that use root, like titanium, greenify, adfree, etc. And then there are other apps that need root for extra features to be enabled. And then there are small enhancements that need root. For example, I increased the volume on my headphones with root and now the phone can drive the headphones and the sound is much better. Anyway, I hope even if you feel like you don't need new roms, rooting is still important to get the most use out of the phone.

And of course, I have no issues with the weird external sd hobbling that Google imposed on kitkat. Really Google wtf.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] gf113:
I just ordered the S5 and didnt realize that it had a locked bootloader. Because of this I think I might return it and get a M8(was gonna go for the Note 3 but found out that also has the locked bootloader now). I've got 2 weeks to return it so if I hear something positive within then i'll keep it but thats not looking likely.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Br4nd3n:
I haven't charged mine in 2 days and I'm on 39%, and I gamed for a good hour each day. I found my phone barely drains while sleeping, maybe we're lucky? I love the battery life..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] btort1:
I get about 1 day and 5 hours with semi heavy use and gaming as well.

I came from a s4 and m7, this battery is almost twice as good :angel: I think if you know all the tweaks and what to turn off, your battery life will be great. It took awhile to master and know what to turn off =p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jm2k7:
holy god, this forum thread is very conformist. :highfive:

at & t sucks and you all happy: LOL

with at & t enjoy:

bloatware in updating.

4g + wifi booster. Eliminated.

bootloader locked forever. Without access to root.

You have no right to customize it.

You can not put a custom rom, for example rom without bloatware.

Hotspot does not work if you are using another simcard from another operator.

You can not change 2G/3G/4G from the options. You have to do it from the hidden menu * # * # 4636 # * # *

excessive consumption of battery because of the customization layer at & t.

than good!.

In AMAZON, there are thousands of AT & T phones are being sold, many dupes who buy from abroad will possess such equipment and life will ****. Like for example I am from another country and I have been scammed on amazon, I bought a mobile with the description of a SM-G900F model, which is not at & t, and guess. The seller knew it was from another country to sneak a defective SM-G900A at & t.

In a forum at & t sent me to eat excrement, they told me, go to your retailer for a refund and then that's it, I wash my hands so easily.

How the hell am I supposed to make a refund if I am from another country. Where warranty policy are manufacturing defects, there are no guarantees if the phone is locked by software functions?, Where no guarantee for software? tell me, who refunded me the money!

Well that's it, I'm a little annoyed. Sorry. :victory: :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] harlenm:
Why are you here then? This is an att forum.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] PS4AndroidHacker:
That's weird because car mode/drive mode works great on my S5. I would still love root though.

---------- Post added at 11:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 PM ----------

Same thing here. I use root browser and things work fine for me most of the time. If we ever get root on this phone, there is a flashable zip that fixes external SD card support, I see it in the S3 forums all the time as I also have a Virgin Mobile S3 running CyanogenMod 11.

Here's a good question for everybody: I'm on AT&T Next 18 month. Let's just say we get root and I decide to root my device, it will trip knox. In 18 months when I want to upgrade to a newer device, will I be able to upgrade even if I unroot it because the counter will show as tripped? Just thinking because when you upgrade you give the old device back, correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] diehardbattery:
You're on AT&T with their branded phone? How did you enable it? Everything I've seen lead me to believe it was not on here.. just AT&T's version of DriveMode...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] PS4AndroidHacker:
Yes sir I'm on at&t. I love their service because I have never dropped a call no matter where I go, just wish we could get this thing rooted or with an unlocked boooader. Does anybody have info for me as pertaining to my question about at&t next?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] eortizr:
When you upgrade on the 18 month plan you do have to give your device back in a working state. AT&T will not look at the knox counter, they will only see if it turns on and that's it. I have return a lot of phones to AT&T and I never unroot them I only install a stock rom and take it already powered on. Never had an issue. Or if you just want to keep your device and upgrade you can always pay-off the balance (which it will be around $180) and then you will not have to return you old device in order to get a new one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] watchout5:
The manufacture warranty for the S5 is 12 months. At 18 months it doesn't matter if you triggered the KNOX, not to samsung at least.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cybershawngates:
Using a 3rd party launcher. Kklauncher or nova etc andnby disabling the att bloat, its liveable. I used to cm mod my old phone epic 4g but often times for the person who just wants to use their phone without glitches, missing featues and or too many options stock is doable. I sure wish samsung would give an option as htc does to root at your own risk.

Btw all this talk of root, what about the 800 lb gorilla which is the bootloader. O/w s4 has been rooted but a yr later the bootloader hasnt been cracked
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Heavy Metal:
Is it true by keeping it locked that some if not ALL of the bloat the carriers put in use data behind your back? With rooting you can kill most if not all that issue and choose which ones you want to use data in foreground as well as background? But if so your data is currently being stolen by their bloat if I am not mistaken? Maybe someone can elaborate more on this...

Thanks!!!

hey guys... im just looking can swap sd card in mini 2 ??? anyone know?? please help ...:confused::D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] MaDaLiNoSt:
Ok, swap for which rom ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] pocthird:
you'll need a root explorer and root

for stock 2.3 :

open this file a text editor system/etc/vold.fstab (after copying it somewhere as a backup)

when it says #internal put sdcard1 instead of sdcard and where it says #external put sdcard where it says sdcard1 (if you make an error you wont see any sd card on your phone after reboot you'll have to edit again btw i'm not responsible for anything)

and if your sdcard is called sdcard0 and external sdcard1 same way but put these values

for cm10.1 and cm10 :

edit system/build.prop go to #usb sexion and the line that does what you want is self explaining just make its value 1

for cm9:

go to settings/storage click menu button and select usb config and check the only option you'll see it is called use internal sd i guess

hope it helped , i have never had a problem with this but backup is a good option :D , hope it helped

persist.sys.vold.switchexternal=0 ;

like this : persist.sys.vold.switchexternal=1

save and exit and reboot

ps: move the apps installed in internal sd to external or they will be broken

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRegime:
I have used ADB backup before and have 2 backup files saved. i am trying to backup my Galaxy Note 2 and it wont seem to work. It is running 4.1.2 stock rom. I have rooted it since my last backup and now it doesnt seem to work. I have tried with SDK tools updated fully and copied the adb files into the correct folder. I have also tried deleting all sdk files and only updating to 4.1.2 and it still doesnt work. I have done it before using the command prompt but this time it seems to fail.

It recognizes my device and my device has debugging mode on. But when I run the backup command as I always have it says unable to connect.

Any suggestions or help? I really want to backup everything since I almost just bricked my phone by spilling water on it. But got it cleaned and used Odin to get it working again. I want to full backup just in case it bricks out again.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdeppert:
I have a question. I have a Verizon Galaxy Note 3. I was wondering if it was possible to flash a custom ROM on my phone If I don't care about tripping Knox after being ignorant and updating to the Official KitKat firmware from Verizon. I've been searching for an answer for this for about a week and I'm not sure if I'm just wording it wrong. The only thing I got close to an answer to this question was someone said that you couldn't do it without tripping knox. I'm guessing that isn't correct being how motivated these phone companies seem to keep their crap installed on my phone. I really don't care about tripping knox and my warranty. I just want to get rid of flipboard and samsung push service off my phone. Can someone please point me in the right direction.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Legato Bluesummers:
Your problem is you took the official OTA and no one has made a root method that works for it. Plus your bootloader incremented with the update. Which means if you try to flash a lower level one you'll soft brick at a minimum.

Before you took the update you could have rooted and flashed away. Tripping Knox counter only matters if you care to warranty your phone through Verizon or Samsung. If they see the counter at 1x0 or higher they know you've flashed illegal software at least once. They'll deny service. If you don't care. And don't ever intend to warranty or sell the phone. Then you're fine.

However. Like I said. Once you took the update. Unless you were able to keep root using super user survival mode or whatever. You're pretty screwed til someone finds a new exploit.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdeppert:
Thank you for for the reply. That pretty much confirmed what I was suspecting about flashing a different ROM after foolishly updating to KitKat. I had my phone rooted before, but I unrooted it when I was done cleaning up the bloat. You are right about soft bricking the phone. When I tried reverting back to jellybean, it would soft brick my phone and I would have to have to install a back up of the PIT file using ODIN. I'm going to do some more research to see how the authentication process works for these ROM files. There has to be away to modify the contents of the ROM unless there is a predetermined data size and the phone stops the write process. Again thank you for your time and good luck.
