Do you have any antivirus software trying to intercept it?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jjamin:
No

no, i ended up clearing the installer cache and then it worked like a charm, Thank you though.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Setnev:
I used Titanium Backup to disable the T-Mobile applications that run on the phone and to get rid of most of the Samsung Cloud and unnecessary Google software. My battery life has increased dramatically. I went from a full 8 hour day at work from 100% to 30% to an 8 hour day from 100% to 80%. I gained about a 50% battery life increase by disabling the Samsung, T-Mobile, and unneeded Google services. I also installed Xposed Framework and Busybox so that i can customize the operating system with Wanam Xposed. Also, I installed RAM Booster for Root which dramatically increased the memory management of the system. My phone runs apps so much smoother that I ever imagined.

My phone plan comes with Lookout Security Premium. It did attempt to block me from viewing the towelroot website as it flagged it as unsafe. Also Lookout tried to block the installation of Towelroot as it said it was a "hacktool." I ignored the warnings and proceeded. During the towelroot process, I did have to run it twice. The application stopped responding on the first try, it succeeded on the second try. I rebooted the phone and install SuperUser and it froze while installing binaries. I rebooted the phone again, attempted to run SU and it succeeded in installing binaries and stopped responding to disabling Knox. I rebooted again, Knox successfully disabled, Status flag in the Phone Info settings is Official and Knox status 0x0. BIG WIN!!!! Not like I care, T-Mobile JUMP! will replace my phone whether it's modded or not.

modstrings list

I'm looking for a list of the modstrings that are used for supported devices.

I think it would help to know where to start for phones that are very similar to supported and already working phones.

Example: my LG g3 d851 isn't supported however and I've tried a few modstrings with no luck and feel like I'm shooting in the dark.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] inco9nito99:
Where did you find the option in TB to disable apps?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Opie Knievel:
You have to have Titanium Backup Pro to be able to freeze or uninstall apps.

It's under the Backup/Restore button.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] bgmg:
So far there are only four modstrings. Tap the modstrings url in post one to see the first three. The fourth was discovered to work on a LG phone. The fourth is listed a little lower in post one.

Good luck.

note 3 problems

Anybody know how to fix this problem. Have a note 3 sm900a 4.4.2 kitkat for att. I rooted the phone successfully but after a day i lost root. Every time I reboot, is shows the custom padlock on startup. Root checker says the device is not to rooted properly. Tried to install supersu and it tried to update su binaries but it stop and says that Samsung knox needs to be disabled. It says click OK to disable but then the app closes. I tried to bypass that option and using the unroot option but doesn't unroot. Can't get no access to any root options. I factory reset but still rooted and same problem. Any help please.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] najoor:
Follow these steps. If each step is completed successfully move to the next one. If not, post here what problem you encountered.

1- Factory reset

2- Install and run towelroot

3- Install SuperSu v2.00 or higher

4- Open SuperSu and ignore the knox warning (don't disable) then make sure you can see all the menus and options in SuperSU.

5- Install rootchecker and see if it says you have proper root access

6- Reboot

7- Run SuperSu again. This time let it disable knox

8- If disabling takes more than a minute, reboot and repeat step 7. This time it should work.

If you succeed, immediately disable security and software updates.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] najoor:
OK, punch in *#1234# on your dial pad to find the firmware version of your phone. If the second digit to the right is F or G (like NG1) your firmware has been patched and you can't use this root method.

[Question]

Hi.

I have couple of question.

I want to ROOT my Samsung galaxy s5 (SM-G900F) T-Mobile, but i dont want to trigger KNOX. I reading 3 days all post about towelroot.

1. Will I trigger KNOX with this vesrion of s5 (Samsung galaxy s5 (SM-G900F) T-Mobile) and how much in risk in %?

2. Before root do I need to make factory reset?

3. Can I uninstall towelroot after rooting?

4. Do I need to download SuperSU from his website to properly update binary?

5. Do i need to frezze SPDClient.apk or this only need do AT&T version only?

6. When will be OTA update do i need to unroot first?

7. Is there any risk or someone this method brick device?

Please if I forget something important to ask or there is something important what I need to know before root please tell me!

Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
Well first, it's IF you can get TR to work with a G900F as I have heard there have been problems. But assuming you can get TR to work.

1. 0%

2. You can but likely will not need it.

3. Yes, it is installed on your phone as a .apk

4. No. You can use any copy. I did.

5. The update .apk on your phone should be frozen (or removed) as you do not want to take an OTA and maybe lose root.

6. If you update, you likely will lose root. If you root, you can modify and make better than ANY OTA update.

7. As far as I know, there is a 0% threshold for Bricking a Device. It is typically quick and painless.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
While I agree with you, and understand the frustration, I was new to this whole thing not too long ago, and so are many others. They have to learn somehow. The best thing to do is have some patience. I Mod for other Forums. It does get annoying sometimes because many of the questions and such are redundant, but everyone starts somewhere. If they are very new, then perhaps they found this particular forum by a good search, signed up, and posted, without searching the rest of the thread. Because the possibilities are endless as to how and why, it serves no use to become frustrated with new people.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] ashshlay:
That sucks for me. I tried the LG modstring listed and it didn't work for my d851. I also tried a few other variations starting with changing the first value as geohot suggests in his OP without any luck.

One time my phone competently froze and when i rebooted by a battery pull some app icons on my home screen (not all) were disappearing and reappearing like they were flashing.

My g2 took seconds to root. Has anyone had success when it took a very long time or froze for longer than a few minutes? I see the OP says to try a few times and i have tried several.

Knowing if I'm getting close would give me incentive to keep at it.

Thanks...

Then you should understand that *this* forum is a developer-driven board with ground-breaking and unique talent that isn't available anywhere else. Noobs stupidly asking questions pollutes the board, makes it harder to manage for the mods and harder to navigate and search for people trying to do the right thing.

Answering foolish, repetitive questions and giving another senior member a snarky shot for not freely offering "two minutes" only hurts the board for everyone else, *excpet* the one, rude, lazy noob who pop in, clutters the thread, then is rewarded for his laziness and making things harder and less appealing for everyone else, including developers.

So let me ask you a question, what is it that you're accomplishing? Whom are you serving? Your response (and in return my response to you) is also just useless clutter.

If you don't have something nice to say or aren't furthering the discussion in general, why say anything?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Rantha:
Sorry for the question.. But why disabling it first? Do I have to or is it enough to remove/freeze it? What's the difference between freezing it with TB or "disabling" with SuperSu? Thanks in advance! ;)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] BadKarma81:
Well, when you first install SuperSU and open it for the first time, its going to ask you if you want to disable Knox. You might as well say yes/allow. After that, in TB you can freeze or remove whatever other Knox components remain. In all honesty, there isn't any real difference in the way SuperSU or TB handles the Knox file(s). They're totally safe to remove and I would completely remove them unless you need Knox for work.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Atlas7:
It is same. But disable it from supersu. Beacuse maybe using root for tb will trigger knox

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] najoor:
There is no difference. Both will disable it for you. You can even disable the program manually if you know how to use an android terminal.

"freezing" or disabling a program does not trip knox. The process only marks an app as inactive so it won't start by itself at the start up. It can still be activated by other apps. So if for any reason you want to have no trace of an app ever in your system you will need to uninstall it with TB or manually remove it.

If an app is frozen or disabled, it always comes back to life after a factory reset. Once you uninstall it, if you don't have a backup copy, it is gone forever.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] bgmg:
I've seen this before. Even though towelroot says rooted successfully, you probably don't have root and it failed. Try using a root checker program to make sure you actually have root. I use CPU-Z from the app store. See pic below.

If you find that you do not have root, then all you can do with towelroot is try again and try different modstrings on your own.

If you do have root, then try rebooting and restarting supersu and/or removing and reinstalling supersu.
