I'm kind of confused and I've been holding off but

#1 does custom recovery increase knox?

#2 which one do i download / works perfect with s5 (link would be appreciated)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Vodkanakas:
Changing recovery or kernel trips knox. If your worried about warrenty then just stick with root, if this works for you, till someone figures out how not to trip it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] YanivJay:
No reason to be sad

It may seem crazy to your or I whens omeone says that... but after 10 years of development I've learned that people are just plain scared. Especially when theyre learning something new.... AND even MORE SO when its a toy they spent $700 on lol.

We were all born nude and noob ;) :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Vodkanakas:
I took a look at system status in settings and it said official. Checked it an hour or two later then said custom... weird:confused: lol anyhow the root is not effecting knox and i have no issues with root required apps :fingers-crossed:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ruthlessrat:
Towel root worked for me

It's confirmed cause I have managed to delete some system unnecessary apps using ROM toolbox i have also changed stock recovery to TWRP.

Thinking about custom rom. Any suggestions? :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Android_Monsters:
Project Infinity or AllianceRom.

NE6 - rooted and knox is still good.

Debating whether to upgrade or not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] u1988:
There is away to root without knox - you just need your Kernals for your own Device

read here: but don't try those kernals if you have other device then G900F.

there is a giude there how to extrcet (post #13) your kernal from the new and old (before 3/6/14 that won't block towelroot ) Frimwares to make it work.

Question. I have a new S5, I'm wanting to root it. Not sure if towelroot will work with my device. Can anyone help me? Rooting my Nexus 5 was much easier than this. Kernel version is from August.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] xda23:
I rooted my SM-G900T Gs5 with towel root what's the easiest way to unroot my Gs5? Thanks. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
Delete su from system/bin as well as the SuperSU.apk from system/app. If you've modded your phone, just use ODIN.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] xda23:
Can't I just use root explorer and go in and delete that stuff? Thanks. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
Yeah just make sure to delete the APK first, then the SU file.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] vanemburghj:
Of course you can do it those ways, but why not try:

Go to Superuser

Go to Settings

Scroll down to Cleanup

Select Full Unroot

I towel rooted my device but I can't in stall super su or a recovery because I trip knox.so what do I do for I can flash Roms and kernels, mods, etc without tripping knox. Thanks. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] KoubaK:
I don't think you can flash custom ROMs without tripping KNOX, because for some of these ROMS you require a custom recovery. I think you can still flash a stock based (already rooted) ROM without tripping KNOX...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] letdatbassknock:
How'd you get towel root to work?? I can't since I've updated to the recent firmware.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] xda23:
It only works with ane6 firmware. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] letdatbassknock:
Check your PM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] SdRasta:
Where can I download the update. Sammobile yes but I can't seem to find. I'm on sm-g900t... Currently have NE6 baseband and I want to upgrade with mobile Odin to update and keep root.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] SdRasta:
Does this mean mobile Odin isn't supported on my device?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gspears:
No, I use Mobile Odin regularly with my S5 to flash modems and to flash back to stock, etc. It's just warning you than you can trip your Knox counter, depending on what you flash so you need to do a lot of reading to understand exactly what you are doing and what the consequences are if any.

So read and be careful.

Good Luck!

If I've helped please push the Thanks button.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] SdRasta:
Well I'm just waiting to flash the update I have from NE6 and keep root. Knox won't trip correct? And if not do you have download link for the firmware update? I downloaded on phone from software update but haven't installed.. I'm on sm-g900t
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] galaxyuser88:
well if you downloaded the update that tmo sent you thru the phone and you flash or install that update you will lose root. You will have to use pc odin to first flash the firmware and baseband ( modem) to nh5, then you can use mobile odin pro to flash the nh5 software. make you check inject root and inject su and inject mobile odin and flash away, once this is done you will have the latest nh5 firmware on your phone with root and you will not trip knox. You will only trip knox if you install a custom recovery or a rom that is not designed for your phone. Now if you care less about tripping knox then you install CWM or TWRP custom recovery and flash any rom that has ported over to the s5.

good luck and have fun.

remember that anything you do with your phone is your responsiblity, do not blame anyone if you brick your phone because you did not read or install something that you werent supposed too.

Also if any of people here post something you like, use, or answer your questions, Make sure you hit the Thanks button under their post.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] SdRasta:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] galaxyuser88:
What is it you need help with?

Are you trying to update to the nh5 firmware. If so here is a link to the full software download.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2901732

Use the link above to flash this via pc odin, or you use mobile odin pro to flash ( but you need to have the pro version for it to inject root into the nh5 software.)

And then follow this link on how to root it back. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2909352
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] SdRasta:
I don't even know what I'm currently on ha. NE6 I believe if that's anything at all? And would nh5 be the newest update for 900t?good update? Good looking by the way.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] galaxyuser88:
Yes ne6 is an older firmware and nh5 is the newest one out so far. You can see what you got in about phone.

It should look like this for nh5. If not you need to get the full nh5 form the forum and load it then use my method to get root.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] itsme_4ucz:
Is there a way to update from NE6 (rooted) to NH5 without loosing root?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ali87va:
If you're already on ne6,just flash nh5 boot tar through Odin and you should be good. I got my s5 on nh5 so I had to flash the ne6 boot tar and root and then reflash nh5 boot tar.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbrenart:
I'm really enjoying the stock rom for a change, but there's one feature from the custom roms that I'm missing. Expandable volume menu, so you can adjust whichever volume when you hit the volume keys instead of just what the system wants you to adjust.

Any way to get this feature relatively simply? I'm rooted with custom kernel, but would like to avoid anything heavy or capable of causing FC's, reboots, etc. I looked through the mod list, but nothing seemed applicable.

Thanks for any advice.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Get Xposed. There's a module on it that allows you to get an expandable volume menu. Xposed has a lot of features from various ROMs with the stability of stock.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] shiftedx:
Tried just a standard fast boot flash recovery command and now my phone is stuck at "system software not authorized by AT&T" screen so this is going to be much more complicated than just finding a way to flash the recovery to the phone.

You pissed off some hounds. :laugh: You should Odin back to stock and try again. See if it helps.

EDIT: By try again, I mean try rooting but DON'T do the recovery. Lol my bad xD
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] shiftedx:
lol yeah I just went back to stock via odin (love that tool). I've never seen a device detect the recovery on boot and lock you out like this even with a locked boot loader when the HTC One S came out I just flashed it manually and had a custom recovery up and running.

Following the directions linked to from here (http://rootzwiki.com/topic/41841-lo...tom-boot-image-on-att-and-verizon-galaxy-s-4/) and the README.TXT from here (https://github.com/djrbliss/loki) I was able to generate an aboot.img file on by AT&T GS5 (SM-G900A) last night.

Safestrap is the best bet for this device. Talk to hashcode about implementing it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] galaxy s4 nutjob:
The question is had anyone tried the philz method?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] UnhoIy:
The recoveries were probably tested on the Dev edition of the phone, since the bootloader comes unlocked. Probably shouldn't try to use any custom recoveries until specifically advertised that one works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] slimc84:
Flashing a Custom recovery will not work with a locked bootloader. The only thing that will work is SafeStrap (haven't tried it yet).

Just listen to the people here. That article is from may 17th and root only came out yesterday. Just because someone wrote an article doesn't mean there's any legitimacy to it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] shiftedx:
guys I've already tried flashing recovery with odin and with fast boot commands, it flashes and sticks but the boot loader detects its modified and completely locks you out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] galaxy s4 nutjob:
I agree
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] djkinetic:
Normal custom recoveries (Philz CWM TWRP) to my knowledge won't work on a Locked S5 BL, the only reason it worked on the S4 is because of the Loki exploit, try flashing a recovery with a kernel that wasnt lokied...you will not be able to boot...Safestrap will work because it doesnt actually touch /system, instead it uses another partition on the device as a 2nd /system. Unfortunately safe-strapped devices cannot run AOSP kernels or Roms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] LuckyColdJohnson:
Still once we get safestrap, we could start flashing MODS and ROMS. Devs can trick out Stock ROMs and make our phone as sick as possible. (Without Kernals) Stupid bootloader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] gf113:
So would thus mean no slim Rom for the s5?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] i root SGH i777:
the user who posted about whether philz recovery would work, i tried it and on odin it said fail. and also cmw and twrp dont work already tried those too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Skizzy034:
Yes, people need to understand that with a locked bootloader, only a bypass will work, such as SS or Loki. You CANNOT flash a custom recovery to a phone with a locked bootloader. Philz will NOT work unless someone can figure out an unlock. Geohot created a root method. Nothing more.

---------- Post added at 03:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 PM ----------

Be careful trying stuff like that. People, not knowing what they're doing, is why there are so many bricks. It can't be done. You still have a locked bootloader.

---------- Post added at 03:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 PM ----------

Only stock based roms. No AOSP or GPE. It's like the Note 3. I have a S5 port in the AT&T forum and we can't flash kernels so even tho its a rom, there are unavoidable bugs such as no deep sleep.

If you really wanna mess up your phone, which seems like quite a few do, go to the AT&T Note 3 forum and try installing SS 3.72. Maybe you'll get lucky.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] YoungAceAtlanta:
Almost 80% of mods that are in modified stock roms/AOKP/CM can be downloaded from Xposed. We can freeze and remove "bloatware" now ourself.

Only safestrap roms that would be make a difference would be the ability to install a international based rom

You guys need to understand Root and Bootloaders are two different things.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] LuckyColdJohnson:
Come on now. I've been modifying electronics for years. I know the difference. Lol.

I'm saying, ROM's from our devs using safestrap can be tricked out FOR us. It's like a packaged gift man. All bloat taken out. Themed. MODS baked in. Apps that work with the custom ROMs. You know what I mean. Flash away and try a new rom out everyday till you find one that fits your needs. You need to read better. Here

A new CVE was found yesterday pertaining to the Little Kernel bootloader, which is closely related to the Samsung bootloader. This CVE would allow us to load our own images and possibly unlock the bootloader permanently. There is a patch for it; however, first looks suggest that the S5 bootloader may not be patched if it is exploitable. The link below explains the CVE and includes the link for the patch.

https://www.codeaurora.org/projects...arsing-during-boot-image-authentication-leads
