Don't use play store to get SuperSU and don't use google chrome to get SU as that browser will shoot you directly to play store. Dolphin worked for me.

This was posted all over this thread, perhaps you missed it. Get SuperSu from chainfire here: chainfire.eu/supersu

Don't panic if it doesn't work after you get SU. I posted this for some other people:

Note: Super SU binary update failed & didn't pop up the Knox display so I uninstalled SU > rebooted > reinstalled = A Win!

Best way for me to get the SU apk was to find it in downloads in File Explorer and extract it

Remember to throw some $ at the man who gave us this. This is his PayPal geohot@gmail.com

Don't try to Flash anything (will flag Knox!) Don't try any kind of recovery! This only roots your device. Verizon & ATT bootloaders are Locked!

Save yourself the aggravation, nothing will happen until there's a way to unlock the bootloader. Good luck

uninstall whatever SuperSU you got from play store then go here: chainfire.eu/supersu

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] ItalianWolf:
you're wrong about what you think.

Reports on an italian forum from people who knows how to do and check: FNB8 (italian) not working, on my s4 tested by me (branded h3g) FNC5 not working, with these fw you can't see 15 secs countdown and there's no root after reboot (root checker and other tests).

Someone flashed german fw GNE5 reported it's working.

I'm writing only about facts from people who knows what is doing, and we are in Europe so anyone (here) i know try flashing US fw.

You can find same posts in this discussion reporting success/failure from italian people (you can see italian footer from tapatalk "Inviato......Tapatalk").

Vodafone XXUGNE8 4.4.2 (CSC: I9505VFGGNE2)

where towelroot work only on the last Vodafone XXUGNE8 4.4.2, for the others firmware no way to root, and the problem is described above also by user ItalianWolf.

I have Firmware Vodafone I9505XXUFNB8 (first 4.4.2 Vodafone) and I have tried last update XXUGNE8 but this firmware (probably bugged) make somentimes fast restart and this problem is reported from other users, so please enable root also on old fimrwares released before XXUGNE5 (German release), like my firmware XXUFNB8 and for other italian 4.4.2 firmwares.

Alarm no sound

Anyone else has the stock alarm not working? It wakes up the screen, but there is no sound, nor will it go to the alarm app to close the alarm. It can be supersu, betterbattstats, sdmaid, rom toolbox or the actual root itself. Sounds familiar to anyone?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] cquick97:
Uninstall the apps one at a time to see which is causing problems.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dennisg34:
Mine works just fine, so it's def not the root or SU. Don't use any of the others, but there's minus 2 from your list. My guess would be ROM toolbox

I had the unlocked/custom splash screen, i was rooted, with SU and some apps frozen. I was in Dalvick, changed to ART, rebooted, the splash screen was back to normal, android is upgrading 407 elements. My question is, what is the difference in ART or Dalvick? Which is preferable, and why?

thanks for quick reply, perhaps i should have asked in a more specific way as it relates to my now rooted S5. I had the unlocked padlock, changed to ART, it went away. Is there a preferable mode to be in now that it is rooted, when i change back, the unlocked padlock is back.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] EXPERIMENTONGOD:
Thanks for the info. Tried with that firmware and it worked.

Problem is with that firm the option to have "lock screen" on "none" vanished, there's a word in german on the "storage" section of the settings and to top it off the phone rebooted randomly a couple of times so I reverted everything back. No point in rooting if your device randomly reboots...

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] k1mu:
No, a factory reset wipes data but does not re-install anything. You've got to flash factory stock to return to stock.

As far as running ART vs Dalvik, run what runs better. Why do you care about the "Custom" status given that you can reset it whenever you need to? If the phone becomes unusable to the point where you can't re-flash, then you probably can't see the Custom screen any longer.

You have a choice: No Custom and no root, or Custom and root. If Custom bugs you, install Triangle Away and enable the "Periodic system modified reset" feature.

You're getting incomplete information.

What is true is that using Odin to flash a custom kernel will set the Knox Warranty Void flag. Flashing factory stock using Odin won't.

OMG, READ the thread more. Then read some more. Read like you have never read before. It's been answered over a hundred times. No custom recovery is available yet because THE BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED!!! No the bootloader has not been unlocked or modified in any way yet. I suggest you go back to download mode and Odin the factory stock image and then try rooting again.

Help with S4 KitKat problems?

So...I haven't rooted since I had an OG HTC EVO. I've had a Galaxy S3 and S4 and frankly haven't felt a huge need to root. Until last month...when I updated my phone to KitKat. I'd like a break off a piece of KitKat in Samsung...

Anyways, my Verizon S4's battery life has taken a huge hit because the top two battery sucking apps on my phone are now "Android System" and "Kernel (Android OS)" They collectively use over 30% of my battery. No fixes are forthcoming from Samsung, as far as I know.

I did a factory reset of my phone. No Joy. I even bought a new battery (since my old one was over a year old) to help slow the bleeding but it isn't near enough to get me through the day. I used to be able to go from 7 AM to 11 PM and go to bed with 30% battery life routinely. Now I'm down to 30% by 7 PM. Thanks in advance. And if this works, I will gladly contribute to your PayPal account. Not enough for a bottle of Grey Goose, mind you...but you can definitely get blind drunk on a 5th of Thunderbird on me!

Even with bloatware,etc. I used to be able to go from 7 AM to 11 PM and still have 30% battery life on my S4 before KitKat. Now I'm down to 30% by 6PM. How do I fix the fact that Android System and Kernel (Android OS) collectively drink my phone's milkshake!?!?
