Rooted and Knox isn't tripped.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] UnhoIy:
It shouldn't trip Knox. It should say "KNOX VOID 0x0" meaning not tripped, or "KNOX VOID 0x1" meaning tripped (to see this, while your phone is powered off, hold volume down+home+power button until you get to Odin Mode, then press up and this information will be in the top left corner.

The SuperSU from the play store won't be able to update the binaries, so instead download this http://download.chainfire.eu/447/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip , extract (don't flash), go to the 'common' folder, and install the Superuser.apk. You should be able to do all of this from your phone.

The "Device Custom status" is because of root. Once you update the binaries through the above updated SuperSU link, that should go away.

Those were three big things people asked on the mega-thread yesterday.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jm2k7:
I see many problems after root, I'll wait for it to be more stable, I did not root yet. :p

although it is clear that people are tinkering with their phones after root, and that it confused because they are experiencing and brings problems.

But I see there after root applications and features that do not work.

The truth is that people of samsung at & t and had well thought what if that layer of software is violated your phone will have failures.

Things to consider:

- Locate the firmware, odin, corresponding to the version of the compilation. This should screw up when root.

- The root should be more complete, the exploit should exploit the vulnerability and immediately have to stay SuperSU in system / app.

- Check the stability of the root to the system, notifying geohot, use logcat, etc..

- Allow developers completely cleaned Trail "at & t" unlock functions for other operators, for example using wireless tether to another operator, remove bloatware, etc.

- Waiting for a custom functional recovery for locked bootloader. A kind of boot manager menu or something.

- Read a lot, patience.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] eortizr:
I don't what are you talking about, rooting the phone does not breaks anything, is the user doing stuff they should not be doing, I did the root yesterday and haven't have any issue whatsoever, Xposed works as expected, I deleted all the At&t/samsung bloat. Is just a lot of newbies to root that are giving a bad rep to root and complaining, it feels like a lot of S5 users are rooting for their very first time.

The thread was hyped up a loooooot yesterday. there were already 10 pages of comments before the exploit was released at 10 PDT, and there was a thread on /r/Android on Reddit about this that got a lot of attention, too. I'm sure it made it's way to a lot of other sites since it had the huge "18 thousand dollar bounty"

This is my sixth phone I've rooted and messed with, and I was finished installing everything within the hour of release.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Sgt.CM:
Rooted S5 Active. Only problem was Titanium Backup wouldn't backup. It would say insufficient storage space. Fixed it with the following:

1. Using a root-enabled file manager like root explorer, navigate to /system/etc/permissions

2. Edit platform.xml file and find the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.

3. Add this group definition: <group gid="media_rw" />

4. Save changes.

5. Restart.

Very happy and no problems.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Kayotick:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jeffw111:
If you're using Root Explorer you just need to change it to Mount R/W in the /system/etc/permissions folder then modify and save the platform.xml file and reboot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] shortydoggg:
That's exactly how I softbricked my phone, by modifying that same file for the sdcard permissions. Everything worked fine until the phone rebooted. I don't believe that works on our AT&T S5.

I don't know if it will hold but:

I booted up holding volume down + home + power. When it says don't disconnect, I held power until it shut down. Powered up again and custom was gone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] spanky310:
I tried that and it didn't work for me but thanks for responding to my question. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Sgt.CM:
Did you update SuperUser? I did that first. Don't use the one from playstore. All I did was loaded my old programs off my Skyrocket using TBU. Just rebooted to see if it held and it did. Sorry if it didn't work. Someone will figure it out, they always do...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] spanky310:
This is what I did.

After rooting my phone I downloaded the latest version of Superusersu, installed it and disabling Knox.

I hope so. I don't think At&t care about the custom status for warranty claims but still I rather not see that whenever I boot up the phone and with a custom status I will not be able to do OTA updates even though I had turned it off just in case At&t pushes down something that will break our root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] David111jr:
So amped I got root now I can do the download booster mod lol.

Can we now run twrp or clockwork mod or is bootloader need to be unlocked for that ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] zounduser:
On the note 2 we were able to flash recovery. But I'm not sure about this phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] shortydoggg:
Actually, I went back and corrected the problem once I figured out how to fix the softbrick. My sdcard is now read/write too. No one mentioned changing or making sure the permissions are rw-r-r, which is what I initially forgot to do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jeffw111:
Yeah I know what you mean I've been bitten by that more than a few times myself now it just kind of an automatic thing I check for before rebooting.

I may consider that, but I've had this SD card for a while. Transitioned it from my S4.

---------- Post added at 11:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 PM ----------

Perhaps I should format it and try again.

I wish I could remember exactly what was giving me the SD card errors.

Busybox, SuperSU..I did a few things that day and now IDK!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Cjohns8792:
Be careful if you use an SD card that was previously in a rooted and rommed phone. I had an s4 with early kernel and such so I never needed safe strap, I was a lucky user. When i got my s5 i put that sd right into this phone. Looking in status of my s5 the phone always showed custom under device status. Taking out that SD card changed it back to official. Something with the root files needed to originally do everything probably triggered an error when the phone read my sd card I'm not sure but I know that sd card will always make my device show custom until removed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] tabascoz28:
I guess if you need warranty work you can just take the card out. And unless I'm wrong, as long as Knox says tripped 0x0 you're good.

only 2 minor issues. S Health needed some hack with Xpos, and ISIS didn't like seeing root (a simple Xpose root hide app)

If the root did not work, I'd go back to my S4. The s5 with the newest TW and Root makes the phone perfect, I don't even care about bootloaders and CW or ASOP rom's right now!

I had security policy update enable before root, and still have them enabled after root, no problems so far.

Technically this is a vulnerability and for the average user it could certainly be a problem. We just happen to know what this program does and choose to run it specifically for the purpose of gaining root access. Some bad people could easily POTENTIALLY use the same vulnerability and do bad things with root access.

Well for me I really like the look and feel of the active vs flagship also what if any does the fingerprint scanner offer other than another way to lock your device for security purposes( if other applications please do tell). Also I'm a bit of a fumbler when it comes to these devices so when I do drop it I feel a bit safer along with the body glove case I use it feels like it could take a heck of a licking. Can't count how many times I've dropped it of my lap when I stand up and forget it's there, mostly exiting a vehicle. As for the extra button I could do with or without it. Also wouldn't the hardware for the fingerprint scanner raise the price some?

I think it might be more related to something being corrupt on the SD card.

I have't tried to write any files to the SD since the root using USB3.0. Can anyone confirm if that works properly?

I would recommend trying to save all the files you can to pc. Then format your SD card, do the fix from my previous post then try to put your files back on your sdcard. As far as USB 3.0 I can't help as I have the active variant so I have USB 2.0. But the fix works for both.:thumbup:
