The old Motopocalypse app that's included in the DROID_RAZR_M_Utility_1.20 worked once I had rooted using the Towel Root apk. Just had to install it from the apk and then grant it Root, then I rebooted and it had the "Warning, unlocked bootloader" screen so cheer

I believe so but i will try again and see if i can get the log

Thanks for the replies
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] faslane:
KNOX shows the security measures have been bypased (root, rom etc.) so if your device's knox counter is other than 0X0 warranty will most certainly NOT be guaranteed and you'll be stuck with your device if you have issues that would otherwise be covered by a factory warranty.

Can people please read through this thread? I feel rather annoyed that every other page is someone complaining about SU, this not working on their phone, and something KNOX related. KNOX is only an issue if you plan on using your warranty, which Idk who is when they hack their phone.

If this doesn't work on your phone, search through here before telling us. As he already stated in the OP, this is definitely for certain few phones, with others having the possibility of it working. If you have T-Mobile or Sprint, why the hell are you even here? You guys can fully unlock your phones..

Also, if you have to ask some of these certain simple questions, as well as recovery questions or ones mentioned above, you probably shouldn't be messing with your phone..

Not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but on my Verizon GS5 after rooting my power button won't turn the screen off until after I get the

"check your cover" pop up message and click OK to it. This happens every time my phone resets. I have the ability to hold down the power button and get the power menu to come up but that's it. Once I get the pop up I am able to use my power button to turn the screen off. Now after installing supersu and rebooting it still has the same issue with the added issue of the power button of not wanting to turn the screen on when its pressed it takes a couple trys. Any ideas?

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Sneakytiki:
Listen, I'm not trying to target you or justify you having time to read through forums to identify and understand how to do certain tasks. It's great you have time to do this. I just found out about this root yesterday and while I'm training soldiers to stop injuries you couldn't dream of having on your worst day, it appears your judging others while not knowing anything about their situation or question. Some people just don't have the time and want a guide.

Personally, I like to double check and make sure I'm covering down correctly. Being a medic and training new medics in the military as an NCO limits my time. Some of us may not be the best at this and while we know how to proceed with regards to rooting a phone, some users just like to double check; others may like to triple check and many others have no clue what so ever and need a guide.

I apologize for any offense but we do need a new clean thread for walking through, confirming root and maybe confirming steps for a SU install. many do not do it every day.

Once again thank you for root and i love being able to use TB and other programs again.

I concur.. And since I had my work order an AT&T SG5 in desperation last week since no GPE edition was in sight after my S4 died, temporary Boost phone shattered, and I'm having to live on a 2008 Fuze - I have had plenty of time to read through this thread in its entirety.

I left the house today with just 22 pages of comments, and as of now there are 109 pages of comments. Here is what I have gleaned from reading through all of the comments and are the steps I plan on taking when my (now vastly more usable) AT&T GS5 arrives. Let me know if I missed something, and perhaps this can be a helpful summary of steps for others:

install chrome - turn on do not track

enable usb debugging (not really necessary with download links)

enable installation of unknown sources

download tr.apk from towelroot.com and run

install downloaded superSU [link supressed because I don't have enough posts - read back for link to version 1.99r4] disable knox.

install busybox

set LCD Density to 360

remove sdm.apk to disable OTA updates

Just got done using Odin to recover. I took a chance and tried to get the download booster to work, using modded files from a flashable zip(by extracting the files and manually replacing them... services.odex is not a file to screw with, while the OS is up and running lmao.) I may try the Flash Gordon app to install it, but since it basically does what I tried already, not sure how soon I want to attempt that.

Anyone else tried random things yet? We need to get over having root and try to use the power for advancement :)

Not sure why people seem to be having so many problems.. I own the VZW S5 and I used the root method, updated SU binaries with SuperSU v1.99 and S-Health works great and I still am using ART.

I found however, that XPosed causes the phone to be a little laggy, it also disables ART and allows dalvik only, and stops my SHealth. This is an XPosed issue, not a root issue. Don't blame it on updating SU binaries because I've done that with no issues.

Before you post saying something is wrong after you rooted make sure you let us know what mods or apps you installed because that is more than likely your problem.

Lastly, the padlock is only there for my phone while using ART. When I switch to Dalvik it goes back to normal with no padlock. it was like that long before this root method. Most people just don't reboot their phone very often to notice it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] sholsten:
