CSC: G900FOXA1ANG3

DATE: 3July

i'm in Italy, here is not already out, so i can't try, anyone can confirm that towelroot and root are OK or NOT with this realese?

tnx
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] walid54:
I try yesterday and Towelroot dont work with this new firmware
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Biker1:
Just to be sure, try the v3 original version posted a couple of posts above:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54337291&postcount=4740

Supposedly, the v3 link in the op has been changed so as not to work anymore.

Although any Kernel dated after June 3 is not supposed to be able to be rooted anyway, but you can try with a working v3 to see if it does get rooted.

Hello!

I have a mk810 tv stick with an amlogic cpu.

My version info is

Android 4.2.2

Kernel 3.0.50 May 20 2013

jdq39.20130518

I tried the 8 first modstrings, but the app just closes after a few seconds. I have no way to do a soft shutdown or reboot. I just tried to boot.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] ucluglee:
It worked great on my T-Mobile Note 3 without tripping the Knox counter. Then I got an update from Samsung that contained a June 17th kernel and lost root and the new V3 won't work:

So it looks like the party is over.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Play edition - GT-I9505G

Android Version 4.4.4 - Fully Stock firmware, never rooted before, updated only via official means

Kernel 3.4.0-2669391 - Jun 17 2014

Baseband I9505GUEUCNF3

Build KTU84P.S001.140602

The V3 version given in the link above worked for me and provided root. Confirmed with Root Checker from the Google Play Store.

Attempted to install SuperSU from the Google Play Store, but it gave me an error message of "failed to update binary" and told me to reboot.

However, regardless of this, after a reboot, root remained available and SuperSU now appears to be working correctly. When attempting to use Root Checker again, SuperSU pops up a permission dialog, and granting the permission allows Root Checker to confirm root is available.

So, works here.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] FoneWatcher:
Nobody doubted the file saved from earlier worked. The point the poster was making was that the official one from tr.com had been switched out to a non-functional one.

---------- Post added at 12:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 PM ----------

There's at least, conservatively, 100 posts that point out that if you don't freeze sdm and take an OTA update that geohot's exploit will no longer work. Were you expecting something different to happen?

huawei y530 towelroot

When try to download the towelroot apk from geohot website I get an error:

"No SD card"

Using chrome. The phone has internal storage and everything works fine. Tried to erase internal storage and remount and that is OK but still get the "no SD card" error

I know towekroot can root the huawei y530 phone, i tried it on another- but now I cannot install this apk.

Thanks

You're downloading a file from a website - that has nothing to do with tr or the apk.

LG Optimus F6 D505

I have a similiar problem to Back4More402. My device is a LG Optimus F6 (D505) running Android 4.4.2 with kernel version 3.4.0 (it should be ok imho). Towelroot says the device is successfully rooted and so does the root checker. Every root app works fine, except for supersu, which is unable to update the binaries but otherwise works as intended. My main problem is that the root permission disappears after a reboot, and I didn't manage to find the reason yet. I've tried to play around with modstrings, but the result was only reboots and freezes. I originally thought that it might be that the necessary folders were read-only, but it's not the case. Has anybody encountered an issue like this before?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] spiritflare:
no SD card

What im implying is after using towelroot on my Huawei y530 it successfully rooted, i was even able to even use SuperSU however i have lost access to /storage/sdcard0 because trying to download tr.apk from the website results in "no SD card" and trying to download any file now doesnt work (ex: google drive)

This was fine before towelroot. It seems /storage/sdcard0 and sdcard1 are both now read only (d--) if i see filesystem permissions and further a hard restore (wipe dalvik and reinstall) doesnt fix it.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] poison spyder:
Use titanium backup to uninstall all the bloatware.....but be careful what you uninstall because things might get messy if remove something essential?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] ramsenn:
Why is my phone so laggy screen freez all the time
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] FoneWatcher:
Okay, I understand now.

But if you were trying to DL tr onto your Huawei that was previously rooted with tr before, that implies that you did something that made it lose root.

What happened between the last time you used tr to root and this time when you are trying to root again? Did you take any updates, try a custom ROm, siwtched from ART to Dalvik, etc.?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] spiritflare:
no SD card after using towelroot

I was trying to redownload towelroot to see if i still had root - it's a moot point because tr didnt download (i verified i still had root by trying another app and seeing superSU prompt). Regardless now cant download anything - apps install fine. Changing /sdcard1 permission to 777 with root explorer doesnt even fix it.

Does anyone have a link to y530-u051 firnware i can try a flash.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Freakstone:
Towelroot failed after S5 OTA update (not supported, no working modstrings)

Sadly this is not the case on my G900F. Towelroot gives me a "phone not supported", and I cannot find a modstring that doesn't simply hang.

Anyone got any ideas for a modstring that works on a G900F after the latest OTA update? Vodafone UK ROM.

It was quite happy to allow the OTA update despite rooted, and towelroot worked nicely before.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] FoneWatcher:
It's been mentioned in no less than 100 separate posts, possibly up to 200 times or more, in this thread that you need to freeze sdm to not allow the OTA that fixes the vulnerability that this exploit used.

Guess you must have missed them in your exhaustive searching beforehand.:rolleyes:
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] muniz_ri:
I unrooted (I337 NC1 build) then downloaded the current towelroot apk v3 from the towelroot.com website and was able to re-root without issue. The tr apk has not been swapped out as previously alleged.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Freakstone:
Yup. Got that several minutes after posting this. Gate, horse, bolted... Of course, that's the problem when people insist on posting things like "towelroot just worked on my G900F after the latest update". Not sure if you can figure out what that implies...

Good use of sarcasm nevertheless. It's almost undetectable.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] FoneWatcher:
Well played, sir!

---------- Post added at 07:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 PM ----------

Interesting. I have all iterations saved and the v3 being hosted on tr.com now is a different checksum from previous v3s. So either this is a 4th version or maybe you didn't actually unroot:

E287E785D0E3E043FB0CFBFE69309D8E - last web v3 just DLed from tr.com

2EE349F8087C8A69DB101C4086460E14 - my v3 saved

2EE349F8087C8A69DB101C4086460E14 - v3 3rd-party posted recently in this thread

I can't say if they work differently because I successfully used v1 and I'm not going to unroot to test

Now GeoHot working for Google (Project Zero)

I mean, thats all that towelroot does. It just roots your phone. Anything you do that you don't know that messes up your phone after is up to you. All S5 functionalities and features will be there (pretty sure) and you can actually add more features you like after rooting. After rooting, look around as to how can do tweaks to your phone without messing it up. Good luck

SD card problem after towelroot

hi,

thank you all for your response!

It was definitly not my SD, ive tried 4 microSD cards (from different brands, classes) and none of them did work.

and the phone did see my SD card, but couldn't read/access it. even after factory reset & formatting it didnt work.

I've read some other post from people with the same issue after using towelroot,

So i guess it is a towelroot problem,I dont know if the SDfix for kitkat is working,

at this moment my phone is being replaced by huawei, so I cant test it.

rootgenius is now working for my huawei G6, so I'm trying that first.

I'll keep you posted.
