Check your Kernel version/build date & make sure it's June 3rd 2014 or earlier. Towelroot was 100% on my Verizon S4 (not a mini) immediately. Check my sig for some of my device specifics.

This was on page 1 of this thread "Possibly invited: Every Android phone with a kernel build date < Jun 3"
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] slick4747:
Thank you for your reply - Kernal Version 3.4.0-2653540 Date Wed April 23 2014 - seems it should work but it doesn't

What do you think?

My phone doesnt get rooted. When I click on the button it restarts immediately. My kernel build dare is April 9th.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] elliwigy:
root should npt trip counter and root can be uninstalled if youre worried about it.. knox counter is tripped by installing or "flashing" custom roms which we dont have bootloader unlock yet to even do so.. its been answered many times and places as well as in this thread and in geos irc channel by other devs.. if you dont want to void your warranty you shouldnt even be rooting your phone.. (even though root is easily removed without tripping knox.)

Xposed framework post towelroot

Has anybody tried to install xposed framework after rooting the GS5 via towelroot and does it trip KNOX?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] sashusmom:
Unfortunately this is not running true for Mega 6.3 att users- i527. Our kernel date is may 21 and it TR doesn't work. We get the reboot, but not the 15 second screen prior. I was told by Grarak that the exploit is closed in our kernel. :crying:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Lane W.:
Had to shoot out for few, sorry for delay replying. It looks like it should go w/ that date. It may be something related to the "mini" model,

but I'm not sure. Best bet I think is to copy the device info & send it to the *creator*.

Go to page 1 of this thread to see if he's working out any bugs & you'll see there where to send him the specs on your phone.

Sorry I don't have an immediate resolution :( and I hope this helps you

I got towelroot on my samsung s4 (AT&T), but after the reboot i don't have superuser
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dennisg34:
Just try and see

Towelroot doesn't install SU, you do that yourself, again, in OP
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Ireallyneedhelp:
Can you show how you do that?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] gridflash:
Okay TR works on Tmobile GS5 without triggering the Knox flag.

And since the Bootloader on Tmobile is not locked we can install TWRP custom recovery.

The question is, "Will installing TWRP trigger the Knox flag?"
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Lane W.:
If this doesn't work or you'd like to look at another option get xposed. I've been goofing off tonight exploring it (and making some posts here from my computer) and

found a module in xposed called HandleExternalStorage which is described "Enables read and write access to the external storage for all apps." If SDfix is

working I guess don't worry about it, but this gives you something else to look at. Haven't yet tried HandleExternalStorage yet but I'm sure it does what the label says.

Here's a link to xposed http://www.addictivetips.com/android/what-is-xposed-framework-for-android-how-to-install-it-guide/

---------- Post added at 02:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 AM ----------

You try to (or even see) the update as of 6/17 or early 6/18 for SuperSU? This may help you :confused:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] slick4747:
yes it does help and thank you, at least it gives me a direction to go - I'll see if I can give him a shot - I sent him an email to the address on his website with a adb logcat of my phone as its requested on his website, no answer as of yet and that was two days ago, I imagine he's probably swamped :)

I'll give your suggestion a try - thanks again - nice that you offered a hand out and a hand up - much obliged.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Lane W.:
Not sure if it helps you, but I installed xposed 2-3 hours ago & had to reboot my GS4 a few times since xposed required reboot.

Didn't even think about what you just asked so I checked the app I've had a few weeks "Phone INFO" and everything's ok --> Knox 0x0
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dennisg34:
Ugh....

Go here ON YOUR PHONE: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu

after it downloads, open, install. Then open from Apps Menu. Then Click NORMAL, should take over from there, after it's successful REBOOT

Yes, just did. NOTHING TRIPS KNOX. I can't believe this keeps being asked. Go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2784860 and follow the instructions, especially the S Health ones..if you come back complaining about "lag" I will not further help.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Lane W.:
That sucks! Sorry. Honestly, since my S4 was not on @Geo's page 1 list of "invites" I had no high hopes of towelroot working. BUT it did & took all of 30 seconds.

Hey, he's already posted some bugs he's working/worked on (shown on page 1) and if the bounty he collects is BIG enough to motivate him maybe there will be a solution soon for you :victory:

This might help him ;)

---------- Post added at 02:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 AM ----------

:good: Glad to help. It's amazing how fast you can learn things, especially from within XDA-developers forums (cheers guys).

Grant it, I have had 3 other phones rooted since 2010-11, but it took some time learning that. A monkey could do towelroot if there weren't some preexisting

manufacturer/carrier barriers ie: Possibly invited: Every Android phone with a kernel build date < Jun 3

The more info @Geo gets + the higher the bounty = his fixing more bugs and or barriers :victory:

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] gmals:
Possible cause for exynos not working ...

Yes - it does not work on my S5 G900H with exynos 5422.:(

A little investigation found that it while the standard Android 4.4.2 uses 3.4 kernel version, Samsung seems to have been using 3.10 kernel version for their exynos based devices.

Seems like there is some support added for big.LITTLE cores (4xA7@1.3Ghz + 4xA15@1.9Ghz) to make them all work together at the same time (a.k.a HMP), and that is only available in 3.10

Its likely that the security vulnerability that towelroot exploits has been fixed in kernel 3.10

How to freeze or disable bloatware apps
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Pottoko74:
If you want, yoou can update to a newer stock rom, to a Netherlander or Thailan one. I had the same kernel and I have updated to THL 4.4.2 XXUEND6. Then you can change the csc(need multicsc rom) or use morelocale from playstore to change the language. Then use towelroot, install SU from play (is updated to v2) and install what ever you want, xposed, busybox......
