[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] SamuriHL:
If you're referring to my S4 GPE, then yes, not that it matters for this exploit. If you're referring to the moto devices, I don't own any. I just do my best to serve the moto community with the tools I write. It is confirmed, however, that as of right now you can root the HD or M on build 183 with this and then use motoapocalypse to unlock it. But hurry if you're going to do so...a soak email went out to HD and M owners last night. You can bet they're going to plug the unlock back up and most likely patch the security hole that this exploit uses for root. I implore all HD and M owners to root and unlock ASAP before it's too late and they end up regretting it. Much like what happened the last time this was possible.

Hi can anyone confirm if installing CWM will trip KNOX after root please?. thanks in advance
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] SamuriHL:
Please consider unlocking it while you can. I know I sound like a broken record but I truly want to see as many people unlock these older devices as possible as I don't want to see you guys get stuck without root again. Sorry if I'm annoying people by repeating this but I really feel strongly on this issue.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] LuckyColdJohnson:
Same here. Google playstore and my accounts dont work anymore. THis is bad cause I lost all of my contacts. Looks like I'm not the only one now. Trying to run Kies 3 now and restore back to factory defaults.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] UnhoIy:
It won't work because the bootloader is still locked. Save yourself some hassle and don't try until one is advertised.

Anyone else with 3.4.0-636608 found a sollution?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Franzie3:
As long as the kernel date is less then 6/3/14, yes it should.

On a side note I feel this thread is being side tracked a lot. Multiple devices referenced in a S5 thread (Not that im complaining, congrats if your device is rooted), but so much talk about will this work and will that work without reading the thread. Granted yesterday it grew some 80-90 pages since 1PM EST, so it is a lot to go through especially if you take a break in your day come back and go oh crap now i have 50 some odd pages to read. Face it everyone is guilty at one point or another of If anyone, mods included, want I can throw together a thread in the Dev sections for process and procedure to root, apps acceptable to debloat, how to install work xposed, etc etc. I know some of them already exist. I just feel like it is scattered all thorughout and we are getting so many.

If everyone/anyone agrees I can start one and PM the people who have various ones around and let them know and save the first 5-6 posts for their posts. if you disagree you wont hurt my feelings lol

I cant root HTC OneX
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] sgtcasey:
The title says this is the GS5 root thread.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] PS4AndroidHacker:
1. Yes you did this right

2. Depends on your model of phone. If bootloader is locked, no custom recovery is available.

3. Busy box is optional but I installed it on my G900A and it works like a charm.

4. If you Uninstalled knox apps and some bloat, most of the time the phone won't do the OTA update anyways unless ALL the factory apps are present. It's a good measure to change the name of the files under /system/apps or /system/priv-apps so that you don't receive the OTA anyways. Also you can get rid of the security policy update apps if you choose to or change their names. You don't NEED to install a custom rom. You could wait for someone to come out with a fix or way to update the phone manually.

5. I installed Rom Manager Premium and rom toolbox pro and busybox. I got rid of the towel root app and installed SuperSU Pro as a system app. That's about it but you do what you want. It's your phone.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] sgtcasey:
My Verizon GS5 worked fine but I still backed up important stuff just in case. In your case I would factory reset or even start fresh by using Odin to push the stock firmware then add your apps and data back from the backups and then root.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Crime_Monkey:

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] BigBot96:
Mine's still activated both showing in security and ODIN mode. The way I understand it is reactivation lock is more of a hardware restriction since it shows in ODIN mode also. I don't believe KNOX has anything to do with it.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Slack2116:
What is it about towelroot that makes it so you can "just try it and see if it works"? I thought rooting used to be a big deal. You could brick your phone before.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] LuckyColdJohnson:
Fixed. Went into app manager and cleared data and cache on Google Play, Google play services, Google service framework.

att s4 (i337) using the update ...fnb1

Not working for me. I click the button, it reboots. Then it says SU needs an update. I tried manually installing the apk... gives me the same message. Ran root checker just to be sure, and no root.

I've tried Towel Root like 6 times... Any advice (other than telling me to shut up...)

PS there are 150 pages to this thread now so it is impossible to read the whole thing.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] UnhoIy:
The rooting via flashing packages through Odin and custom recoveries is kind of a big deal because of the possibility of using the wrong files. A lot of people here are just trying it to see if it works, and in a lot of cases it does. In the ones it doesn't, the phone just reboots. So far, only 1 (?) person has claimed it bricked their device of the thousands of posts here.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Franzie3:
Only root, not bootloader unlock. you can not install a custom recovery at this time. We may see Safestrap recovery, but dont go asking when.

Did you try Root Checker? Also note that there is a new version of SuperSU (search this thread for it) That will allow you to disbale Knox and update the binary. PM me if you continue to have problems.

If you Factory unlocked you might want to check the Regular S5 thread and not the Verizon S5. There are post there that should point you where you need to go.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] sinclac:
So how do you download the file when i click the Lambda i get a page of garbage.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] vacaloca:
I suspect this will probably get buried, but I'll give it a shot.

Can SELinux be set to Permissive after rooting? If so, what are the steps to follow? I tried to freeze any Knox related apps, and doing the usual:

su
setenforce 0
getenforce

and it reports enforcing still. Is this a boot image controlled parameter now, or am I just missing something?

Okay, I have an I337 gs4 with nc1. I ran this program, and it shows as rooted via root checker. However, now I have the problem that I cannot access any web-site that is not secure (https). This problem exists both on WiFi and using mobile data.

Is there a way to correct this?

It's like a mini explosion inside your device. Once tripped, it cannot be untripped.

Just tried it on my note 3 and it didn't work...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] vacaloca:
Thanks, but that app doesn't do anything different than the:

su
setenforce 0
getenforce

commands I posted earlier. I should've been clearer in my post ;) Is there a way to change SELinux status to Permissive on the Galaxy S5 after freezing/deleting Knox binaries? Is SELinux Permissive status dependent on the boot image now?

Edit: Figured out that the permissive/enforcing status is dependent on the kernel boot image, which cannot be modified without an unlocked bootloader. Just figured I'd update this in case someone else is wondering the same.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] YevOmega:

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] PS4AndroidHacker:
Once again...READ! there is no custom recovery available for the AT&T model G900A yet. Only root is available. And people...READ THE OP! If it doesn't say anything about your phone, your at your own mercy of trying it. Geohot and the app are not responsible if you get a brick, blow up your house, or create thermonuclear war! If it works for your phone then great, if not then oh well. Let's keep this thread ON TOPIC!

1. Warranty, well no one can predict the future now can they? This includes insurance claims and the jump! program. What if I want to Jump! To the S5 Prime? What if I drop the damned thing and it breaks? We wanted the peace of mind knowing we can truly own our phones without having to worry about holding it like a damn baby.

2. Because I was waiting for a way to safely root my tmob s5 without triggering the efuse. And I'd trust geohot with my phone anyday.

3. Everyone starts from somewhere. Maybe instead of being judgmental, you just kindly point them in the right direction on where to start. A tutorial perhaps.
