Galaxy Note II - This phone isn't currently supported :(

Verizon

Model SCH-1605

Android 4.4.2

Kernel Ver 3.0.31

Kernel Date Thu May 8 01:19:38 KST 2014

Can anyone help here?

I HAD Towelroot working on my G900T....

As it says on the title, it DID work at one point. It was V2 that rooted it for me; the was is because today (7/29/2014) I unrooted via SuperUser try and do an OTA update from T-mobile -- from 900TUVU1ANCH to G900TUVU1BNF6 -- which FAILED. I tried to root again using the same app and all of a sudden it's not supported. WTH?

I did however successfully updated the firmware via Kies. I'm guessing it definitely won't work now. :crying:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] 808phoneaddict:
I think this thread could be closed. There will be no more development on this tool, and if there is the op can update it, and all the questions recently are repeats or requests, but because of geohots new job, he probably won't be here and could always get it reopened if it's needed.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] J.Guido85:
So is there any other method to root GS5 on Verizon other than this way? I'm having a hard time finding what software/firmware version this supports regarding the GS5 on Verizon.

Nope. This is it, unless you buy a developer version.

Seems to be varied answers, could someone please direct me the steps in reversing the root? (have installed SuperSU as well and disabled KNOX; are there any ways to reverse this as well if for some reason desired?)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
Try this.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] wajiman:
you cannot downgrade or you will trip KNOX as of now. for me it worked on my SM-G900F 4.4.2 Kernel May 8th
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] itsDANNY:
So you're saying you can't unroot (and/or enable KNOX back) without having to flash?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
Not what I am saying. I asked if you had tried the option I provided. I am sure there other ways, but with limited access at work, I took what I could find quickly to try and help you out.

No worries, thanks. It's just that flashing is not an option for me, especially since I don't have own any of those phones listed on that link (i.e. not supported firmware to flash).

Hi

I have Galaxy S4(SHV-E330L), Android 4.4.2, When I try to root my phone using towelroot it says “This phone isn’t currently supported”

any help??

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] bad355camaro:
If I currently do not have SD issues, will I after I root?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] ibub:
No, the SD card "issues" are new security features of kitkat that do not allow unfettered access to SD. SDcard fix is a root app that frees up access, so that you can read, write, copy to/ from any area of sdcard.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] bad355camaro:
So after I root, sd access will be the same as before, however, the SDfix will give more access, but is not necessary to run.

I apologize, I seen a few days ago someone had an issue where he couldn't read or write.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] ibub:
Yes, should be the same. Don't know why that user was having problems. But I've had none,with the exception that occasionally my file manager will crash. SD fix, or my file manager may need tweaking. [emoji4]

Bump.

I'd just like to second this request. Same situation here.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] FoneWatcher:
Exactly. The update changes the permissions for Sd card access and this is a problem for some (probably lots) of older apps that don't allow for it. i.e., the path is changed and apps can't access the Sd card to place their files into, only the new emulated external storage which is in the built-in storage.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] SnuggP:
When you first get the phone there are two updates you have to get and they will come through as soon as you connect wifi. They are really small too
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] u1988:
Sorry but some info are missing to me :confused:

So i can't never downgrade between each Update because each Update (from samsung) Changes the Kernel or the Recovery or only the Kernel with out trip KNOX?

I mean is it depends on the Kernel or the Recovery or both to tirip the knox ?

And what can cause the device to Brick regardless of the KNOX problem ? (In case I flash AOSP roms )

Thank you for your Patience !

SDM not found on ATT branded s4

Hello,

I'm a newbie, I recently installed towelroot, SuperSu, app quarantine (not pro), and titanium backup (not pro) without issue onto a at&t samsung s4 [model SGH-I337, ver 4.2.2, kernel 3.4.0-812098, build ending UAMF3] . After reading this forum it seems that I should freeze freezing SDM to stop future updated that would ultimately remove root but can not seem to find it using titanium or app quarantine. Any help is appreciated...

thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] itsDANNY:
Thank you; that's exactly what I was looking for.

Would you happen to know if doing that re-enables KNOX? (since that is also the program that disables it)

Use the search in Titanium Backup and type in "policy". Result should be one entry. Tap on it and then tap the yellow text. A popup with additional infos should open. If you find the SPDclient.apk in this info, you found the right one. :)

I couldn't find sdm to freeze to stop. Ota updates for my nexus 7 either..

All I found is to download an app called "disable service" from there go to Google services framework and disable the service inside called "system update service"

I did it, hope that's it!

That's a pretty cool app, can disable all kinds of stupid services.. I was amazed how many apps carry "campaign tracking service".. Googled that and I promptly disabled all I could find.

By both lower kernel version than you presently have and recovery.

Brick can happen due to wrong flashing (stopping flash in the middle) and stuff. there is nothing other potential danger IMO.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] u1988:
Thanks,

so each new Updated from samsung change the Ver. of the kernel and Recovery. Right?

last Q please:

(i must undersand because I'm building a guide for the knox problem in my Contry Lang...)

If some

dosn''t

care about the KNOX he can downgrade by flash every rom stock in S5?

or there is a limit in downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 or 4.3 (in S4 for exp.) with diffrend modem,kernal,recovery...

What can I do and must not to Prevent Brick?

And if that person flash Coustm/Asop roms from XDA trip the knox...

can he still go back to rom stock and get OTA or Kies updates even the knox is 0x01 ?

even if by flashing Coustm/Asop roms Changed the kernel and Recovery ?

I will be happy if you can give me a little more detailed information

Thanks again ! :good:

You can try flashing back to the NCG kernel and see if the phone boots. If it does you can then use towelroot to re-root. Whatever the outcome you can flash back to the NE9 kernel.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] wajiman:
I am not sure whether each update changes the recovery version but it surely does change kernel version as far as i have seen.

the person who does not care can flash any rom he wants, upgrade or downgrade (downgrading to a completely different version i.e 4.3 might have some errors as the s5 came with 4.4 and might even brick the device on a hardware level)

I am not sure about OTA after KNOX triggered but i think it works.

on custom AOSP Roms, again not sure as it depends on the Roms i suppose

For Preventing Brick:

1. Make a backup

2. Be 110% sure about what you are doing i.e the firmware i am flashing is for this device. Not s4 being flashed on s5 etc.

3. Connect and Flash. Do not interrupt in the middle once flashing started

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] windstrings:
Download "disable service" and go through all your stuff and remove things you know you don't want, leave the rest. This also looks at stuff installed you have frozen, but as long as it stays frozen it's a non issue.

Download "ROM Toolbox" and go into "auto startup manager and disable the obvious... It tells you if it's normally enabled or disabled. This seemed to really pep things up.. It's amazing the crap.. Facebook has I think 57 services it runs... Ridiculous!

Rom Toolbox will backup your apps to your SD.. Something I couldn't get titanium to do.

Freeze the obvious apps or even delete them if you are sure you never want to see them again , Google things in doubt and leave unless you know.

I thought about making a how to guide but it would take hours and only few would read it... Others have already done it.

The problem is what's trash to you may be treasure to me and vice versa, do it's tough to tell someone what they should delete or freeze.

If you Google something and get stumped feel free to PM me, I'll tell you if I done know either.
