[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] bgmg:
Try connecting your phone to a diffetent router on a different wifi network (on a different internet provider). Then try to go to toweroot from there. If that works, then the dns redirect is in your original router or coming from you original internet provider. If that does not work, then your internet provider has a dns reroute, or your devices are infected with malware (Seems unlikely both your computer and phone would be infected with the same malware). I suppose it's possible your router could be infected with malware but again unlikely.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] TomHall:
Just an update ...

TowelRoot rooted Ok,

Sd-card fixer (SDFix) worked Ok,

SuperSu's full unroot said it worked Ok,

Root Checker said I no longer had root,

but Barclays app still detected something left-over, and refused to install / said I was rooted

So - back to stock 4.4.2 for me :(
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] windstrings:
Sounds like your rooted or those other apps would not work.

Try "root checker basic"

If you still think your not rooted,

Try pulling battery and restarting.

Even wiping cache partition may help.

Others have simply tried tw again and it worked.

Try a different version of tw.

Great Info

VERY well said. This should be required reading! Thanks taj

Quote:

When I read a question like this:

"I just rooted my phone, how can I do an OTA update on it?"

It sounds to me like this:

"I just waited for years in the line and got the latest electric car, now how can I install a gasoline engine on it?"

Do people even know why they root their phones? Is it like a fashion statement? Everyone is rooting so I don't want to be left out? Sometimes I think Geohot did a disservice to people by making this root too easy for us...

So here is my pledge: I give you my time for free to help you get the OTA on your newly rooted phone if you just give me a satisfactory answer to this question: Why do you want an OTA update over your rooted OS when the update is primarily designed to revert and permanently block the rooting exploit on your device? Maybe if you tell us what exactly it is that you think the OTA offers you we can give you other suggestions that do not involve getting an OTA update.[/QUOTE]
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] gorcutt:
Hi geohot, you truly deserve my money. Fast, easy, fearless rooting. My Note Tab Pro is rooted, and working like a charm. It took just a few seconds. Thanks a lot!

One question, is there a way to flash a custom recovery, TWRP for instance, without triggering the custom flag and the warranty bit?

Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] windstrings:
True, I think they think rooting unlocks the goody box to all the candy and OTA just has even more goodies and upgrades.

They honestly don't realize the pitfalls of what's hiding in OTAs and think the version # of the OS in the OTA is "all" their getting.... WRONG!

Even basic Google store app updates have many more additions, changes, and fixes than what's spelled out in their changelog... That's only the biggys or the parts they want you to see there.

Often the advertised carrot that's presented is the minor and the hidden is the major account for time invested in writing the upgrade.

This super easy rooting process is like a poisonous flower to those who are not cautious and touch and smell without first reading first.

Or a child touch the pretty blue flame on a stove.... They just don't know.

Then you have others with the attitude "Yea, but it won't happen to me" they call those fools if they never change their ways...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] M3ntalPurg3:
Yeah, I for one just want Root and Custom Recovery with the added bonus of a Stable Rom that doesn't Freeze, Random Reboot, Drain/Fry my battery so I can enjoy the splendors of my Galaxy S5 the way it should be not Over-Bloated by Verizon, Samsung AND Google.

Thank you so much Geohot for time and work on our phones. I'm very close to being able to offer some money for your efforts. I am a couple of weeks from my Journeyman Electrical Exam. Very Soon.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] AlRonG:
I agree with you. I did my first root on the Barns & Noble in Nook in late 2009. Geohot's root is night and day different that what I went through.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] windstrings:
But because you have to go through such turmoil you learned all the precautions by the time you finally figured out how to do it
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Marta9227:
I want to root to get rid of bloat and use specific apps. That's it. I don't like to mess with roms or any of that. I hate constantly wiping my phone. That's why I was excited about this! It rooted my Tab 3 quick, no fuss, no wiping. WHY won't it root my Note 2???????
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] windstrings:
Have you looked at the list to see if your phone has issues? Have you tried all three cowl route versions?

If its a note 2 I'm assuming your build date is early enough.

Some folks are having to use mod strings along with it
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Marta9227:
I tried entering in the three examples they showed. I'm not quite sure I get mod strings, but I think I did it right, and no dice. Also, before when I hit make it rain it simply rebooted with no root. Now when I hit make it rain it says device not supported, so I guess he gave up trying to make it work with the Note 2.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Marta9227:
I guess it must be because I'm on 4.4 2, although my Tab 3 was on 4.4.2 as well and it rooted immediately!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] windstrings:
I'm seeing some people getting root with 4.4. 4 so I don't think it's the version I think it's whether the exploit was fixed with a particular OTA that and used and that varies from carrier to carrier.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Marta9227:
I see. Well I guess it's all just luck of the draw. Thanks for caring about my struggle though, lol!

T-Mobile Galaxy s4 4.4.2 towel root
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] hubbe88:
Can i root?

Hello everyone.

I just got my gs5 yesterday and it's great, i wanted to get into this rooting business but i installed a system update yesterday when prompted without really thinking about how that may complicate a root. When i saw that towelroot required an earlier version than june 3rd i feared that i might not be able to root my device. But as i looked in the "about this device" window in the settings i saw this: dropbox.com /s/0u4l92bzgi1xnjk/2014-07-03%2023.33.39.jpg (sorry i had to put a space in there because the forum wont let me post links)

Kernel version from may 8, does this mean i will be able to root my phone? Thank you my friends for any help.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] bgmg:
Do you realize that towelroot is a non computer method? Couldn't tell from what you said. Perhaps you meant you are looking for another non computer method.

I actually restored it to test TowelRoot.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Opie Knievel:
Have you tried Kingo? You have to use a computer but it's one click. I used it on my AT&T Galaxy Mega and it worked fine. It supports a lot of phones so it's worth a look.

It didn't wipe mine.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Marta9227:
Oh awesome, I'll have to try it!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Opie Knievel:
Their website shows that it supports the international Note 2 so there's a good chance it'll work on yours. The website has good instructions and the entire process is really simple. Basically you connect your phone to the computer using the USB cable, let Kingo install the drivers on your computer and then it will give you a button to click to root the phone. It took a few minutes for mine. Not sure if that's normal or if the computer I was using is just old and slow. Good luck. I hope it works for you.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Marta9227:
How long did it take to install the drivers? Mine have been installing for ten minutes now!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Opie Knievel:
I think mine did something like that. I got annoyed, disconnected the phone and reconnected a time or two before it finally installed and it took a while to root also. I think it might just be the nature of the program.

Hey bud... what's that filed named/called...?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Marta9227:
Final note (lol) to Note 2 owners: Kingo hangs at various intervals, after over an hour "installing drivers" I gave up. I used Cf Auto Root and it took less than five minutes. I did have an issue with Supersu, wouldn't open, and root checker said I wasn't rooted even though Odin said it worked. Solved the problem by downloading the latest Supersu from Chainfires website even though Play Store is on the latest version. I unzipped and placed the apk on my SD card and installed it, and bingo. It updated su binaries, disabled Knox, and boom root access. Even with the extra Supersu business the whole process took ten minutes or less and the best part for me is no data wipe, which is all I cared about and why I wanted towelroot to work to begin with.

SO! If you have a Note 2 use Cf auto root and thanks again to Chainfire and congratulations to everyone towelroot did work for, including me because it DID work on my Tab 3 :)
