Thank you very much! I hadn't seen anyone ask or talk about flashing roms or recovery so I was starting to get confused and think maybe that was a thing of the past.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] tshaulis:
well i don't know if im doing it wrong or what? it seems pretty simple but its not working for me.

my phone is: Galaxy s4 SGH-I337

version : 4.4.2 ( just updated to this like 2 or so days ago)

baseband & build number : UCUFNC1

well i went to the site like they said, clicked on the symbol downloaded it and put it on both my sd card as well as my phone.

i used my files app and es file loader both came up with "there was a problem parsing the package"

i checked that out and found out thats cause by the "unknown source" option in settings i checked that box and still the same result

let me know if im missing something, if there's something you have to do.

this is the most recent thing that i could find that "works", I've tried all the other methods coming to find out that non of them support the newest

firmware so im here.

also if your an ass please leave it to yourself i don't do this for a living or hope to one day like you so jus point in the right direction thats all thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] najoor:
Someone had the parsing problem in this forum and they said that after re-downloading the apk it worked. So try that, and then try using a different browser, and finally try downloading it with another phone or PC and transfer it to your phone, and let us know if that works.

By the way, just to save you some trouble, if your OS date is after June 3, or your kernel version is 3.10 or your CPU is Exynos, this will root will likely not work for you.

hey thanks a lot man that was it i just needed to download it from somewhere else. i did it on my phone and it worked. also what are the supporting apps im going to need like security wise?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] najoor:
I know a lot of folks will disagree with me on this, but, after you install the SuperSU, the best security in the world that you can have is yourself and the warnings that your SuperSu gives you. I personally never used any security software on any of my rooted devices and never had any problems. So keep an open eye for every SuperSu warning that says such and such program wants root access and decide. If you are in doubt just deny root access and google it later. You can always reset these denied attempts by opening SuperSU app later.

If you want a little more peace of mind, go to settings -> security and make sure Verify Apps is checked (the menu location and the wording may vary with your version of Android)

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] najoor:
I don't know exactly what the deal is for 9005 but let me tell you what I know about Note 3 900A (AT&T): The phone came with a 4.3 MJ9 OS which had a root vulnerability. As soon as the exploit was known, AT&T pushed an update (I should say FORCED an update) onto the phones and we ended up with 4.3 NB4. Note that they are both the same OS (4.3) however, the update changed the bootloader on the phone and the new bootloader does not allow reverting to the older 4.3! The few people who successfully forced the old OS onto their phones, also successfully tripped the knox flag. So if you want to go back to stock, and you care about knox, your only option may be to either find the same stock rom or a later version, or risk tripping knox.

The funny thing is that as far as I know, for the people who were updated to 4.3 NB4 there is no stock rom available so if they mess up any partitions other than /system and brick their phones they have no choice but to go to bestbuy/samsung and have them reflash the OS, or flash the leaked 4.4 rom because there is no odin-flashable rom available for the official 4.4 either (someone correct me on this last point if I am wrong).
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] zelenko:
in my case bot version have same bootloader.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] najoor:
Yes, but I am guessing that since your kernels are different the bootloader will not allow you to flash the older one. I could be wrong though.

What I have found so far with AT&T Note 3 is that the only thing you can comfortably change yourself for a given release is the /system (and of course the user areas /data and /cache) partition. The rest should go through odin, which refuses to downgrade.

I did this to both my wife's phone and my own. We ended up with the same issue. Its a little unpredictable though. I rooted the day it was released on both phones. Since then we had had a the loss of connection a couple times a day.

I just go to settings and do the following....

Airplane mode on.

Switch to global mode.

Airplane off.

Wait about 5 minutes with WiFi and mobile data on.

Airplane mode on.

Switch back to LTE/CDMA

Airplane mode off.

All things are normal again for a random number of hours.

future OTA updates...

I know this may be a dumb question but I've been following this thread since day 1 and haven't seen anything about it. I've rooted my S5 and everything is working great (thx Geohot!). Samsung/Google is starting new KitKat 4.43/4 updates with the S5's, are we able to update to this after this root? if so, will we have to re-root? Thanks in advance.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] howellcp:
Don't take any update Ota. Most likely they have fixed the exploit.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Minim3:
Understood, if you do the ota it will just unroot correct? it won't brick the phone I'm assuming. I'm sure Make it Rain (2) will be out shortly after :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] sjmiller:
Successful on VZW SCH-I545, GS4 with NC5 4.4.2, although a few bumps along the way. After reboot, I noticed several startup apps did not start, wifi was not on, and in one case, I couldn't turn off the screen. Thought I didn't get root, when after about 15 minutes I noticed that SuperSU indicated it successfully recovered root. I think something is hanging at boot time, but I haven't identified what it is yet. The last time I rebooted, I went to Task Manager, then to the RAM page, and cleared memory. Suddenty my apps started, wifi connected, and root was working. I haven't booted since, and everything has been good. I'll attempt to identify the culprit, but if I can't, I'll probably factory reset. I already did clear cache, and froze a lot of bloat, but none of that that helped to resolve this problem. Anyone else see similar behavior?

Scott
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] SamuriHL:
Some phones will fail to install the OTA if root is installed. It won't brick, it'll just fail the assertion checks. As for your "shortly after" comment, I pray that was sarcasm. If not, a history lesson is in order. The S5 was released on April 11, 2014. Root was achieved for it June 15, 2014. I suppose that's "shortly" in that it wasn't 6+ months, but, it wasn't quick, either. And there's no reason to expect the next exploit is going to be easy or fast. I'm not saying it won't be done, but, I wouldn't expect one in the first month of a new OTA's release.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Minim3:
What to freeze...

Anyone here have the S5 Rogers or Bell version they've rooted? I'm going through Titanium Backup and not sure which to freeze and which not to, some of the stuff on there I don't recognize. I don't want to freeze the wrong thing and brick my phone. Thx in adv.

Damen

---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 PM ----------

:) I'm good either way, I'm coming from an S3 to S5, S5 unroot runs pretty decent IMO compared to my old S3, I'm in no hurry. So the only way to do an OTA is to unroot it with SuperSU and do the update?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] k1mu:
Saferoot doesn't work?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] SamuriHL:
Probably. In any case ota root survival doesn't always work. You can always try with supersu pro. Protect root then temp unroot and take the ota. And pray. A lot. Lol. If you make changes like freezing apps with root that all has to be undone for the ota to install.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Minim3:
Yah, I didn't really freeze that much and Titanium shows you what's frozen. I'm afraid to freeze most of the stuff on there cause they don't look familiar lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] k1mu:
Have you sent geohot the logcat for your device when you tried towelroot?

If not, then please please please read the original post and send him the information he needs. Without your specific phone in hand, how else can Geohot help you?

Demanding that someone adapt a rooting technique to your phone without being willing to spend the small amount of time necessary to actually help with getting that done seems counterproductive to me.

---------- Post added at 11:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 PM ----------

Have you captured a logcat from the attempt and sent it to geohot?

---------- Post added at 11:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 PM ----------

What phone, vendor, build, etc. is this? Repeating myself, did you provide a logcat providing the information on the attempt? If not, what are you expecting?

Freez Firmware? (FOTA?)

I was reviewing some other stuff at this XDA thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1856632&page=5 and saw some remarks about "disabling notifications in the FotaClient and FWUpgrade". Grant it, this was in posts from January 2014 but I don't seem to remember seeing anything about LocalFOTA or fotaclient the past few days "here" in this thread. Did I?

Having come from root GS3 in 2013 and root Droid X/X2 from 2011-2012 I felt I had a decent understanding of File Explorer (plus those all had ROMs that automatically prevented my current concern from happening). I may have renamed these that I see now in File Explorer >2 boxes with ? in them< but I honestly can't for the life of me remember if I renamed them earlier this week to FWUgrade.apk.bak & FWUprade.odex or if this was done by File Explorer. Maybe it's immaterial since I just did a force close of LocalFOTA since I couldn't turn it off (grayed out)

My apologies for this rather elementary question and I just want to be sure nothing happens "behind my back." They may be already looking for a fix to what geo found & I want to be sure not to loose the gift he gave us (although I sent him $50 for my gift). edit --> some have talked about Busbox. I had that previously, is there a reason to have/not have it now with towelroot? Would it help/hurt?

Thanks guys

Just tried it on my canadian n900w8 vlucnb7, With kernal: 3.4.0-858721, LTE, Telus, Note 3 running stock 4.4.2 kitkat. No joy.

It looked like it had worked too! Rebooted cleanly, let me install SU, no errors or boot loops to be seen.

But when i ran SU? it said I no root access. :(

Tried it again a further 3 times just to make sure and can confirm 100% no joy at all.

Checked to see if the attempt tripped knox, and it hadn't, so nothing lost and nothing gained.

Its Interesting though is that the n900w8 has the qualcomm quad core and not the octo core. Seems to work on almost all the other variants of the same phone/core.
