GeoHot is one of the best minds of our time. He was first to jailbreak iPhone at a young age. If anyone can crack that Sammy locked bootloader it will be him. I want to be just like GeoHot and learn to find exploits. I have a problem solving mind myself but what kind of programming will I need to learn to be at his level?

Also what is up with all the worrying about Knox? I would rather get a virus than have that annoying KNox running.

Galaxy S4 - GT-i9505

I have tried this exploit with my Galaxy S4 - GT-i9505, firmware XXUFNC4, Kernel 3.4.0-481100 (March 8, 2014)

But it doesn't actually work, sadly.

I'm ready to make a generous donation, if it's working for this model too ! ;)

Keep up the good work.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] OsmanMusa:
Btw, GeoHots towelroot.com appeared down but I used a proxy to access it. I think either my ISP is blocking it or GeoHot himself blocked site from other countries. I am in Africa now visitin

I can confirm my KNOX counter has not been tripped (still 0x0) and I have full root on my SM-G900F!!!

WOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Jeweettoch13:
Is it perhaps possibe to flash a custom bootloader or rom with knox still on 0x0 afterwards since SU disables knox, or is it a write protection that hasn't been fixed yet?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] rootdefyxt320:
You can't flash a custom BL if the bootloader is not locked. If you want a custom recovery, you have to wait for HashCode or someone to port a bootstrapped based recovery which requires a use of a sh hijack. Skrilax_CZ is the master of hacking locked bootloader devices.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Sossa_A4:
Thanks, the update error is gone and it seems no errors, only.. my securityapp wants rootpermission for autostartapps, how do i grant that permission?

I granted permission already in SU for the program, but when i use it, it still states that it hasnt rootaccess? [360 mobile safe] But with rootchecker it seems that it has according to the green hash. [maybe bit offtopic, sorry for that]

Thanks already for the help, version 1.99 gives no error on ipdating anymore :)

How do i check KNOX status? I know about "Odin Mode" / "Download Mode" already. But when I go there I don't see anything about KNOX. I have been rooted since this was first posted. It's not that I'm worried about tripping it. I understand the risks. I just want to know where people are finding this status.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] freebee269:
Turn your phone off. Hold down volume down + power + home button till download mode pops up. If you have the Verizon version then you may not see anything about knox warranty.

install install a terminal emulator and type "su" ( no quotes) to verify you are rooted
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] :
Ohhh I see what you mean. I thought you were talking about a tethered root similar to how iPhones get tethered root (meaning have to attach to computer on every boot to maintain root).

I misunderstood where you are talking about tethering the moto x data once you already have root.

Thanks for letting me know though. I'm sure this will come in handy later

I installed towelroot on my SM-G900V and it worked like a champ. I then installed titanium backup and backed up and removed some bloatware. Everything was still good at this point. I then tried to install Supersu from the play store (probably should have go download listed in this thread) and it failed to install. Initially with "insufficient storage" error and then "Unknown*Error*code during*application install: "-24"". I have plenty of free space (over 7GB). I then rebooted the phone and root was gone and it won't come back. Is there an easy way to fix this or do I need to do a factory reset?

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] cmh714:
I dont think thats what he is looking for....hes looking for the tethered root exploit jcase came up with.....unfortunately its exactly that, a tethered root which means everytime you reboot you lose root, so you constantly need to connect to a pc to re-gain root

---------- Post added at 08:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 AM ----------

You were thinking correct. Jcase has a tethered root for you, but it wont stick due to the Write Protect on the device. Therefore it needs to be applied everytime you reboot.

works on lg optimus g pro e980

Don't know who might care here, other than Geohot, but this root worked on my LG Optimus G Pro (E980) on AT&T. Had to go to the linked site in the OP, to get the newest SU (1.99), as the 1.94 version on the play store would not install properly (as mentioned in the thread).

Myself, and the person on XDA who lead me here have both had success with this root while using the same model of phone.

Hi,

I am new to rooting/customer ROM stuff. I am planning to root my ATT S5 in order to remove bloatware and make it faster. In case if i need to send it for warranty/exchange, is it possible to unroot (running same supersu app) and do factory reset to bring it back to original state.

Do i need to change run time to dalvik? Can i continue using Art after rooting.
