Thanks for the killer apk. I had just gone to stock Nc5 and was actually just seeing if any new methods had surfaced and BAM THE FIRST POSTING I SEE IS DOES NEW METHOD WORK? In the sprint note 3 forums early yesterday morning . Had went from sacs v4. To Nc5 stock . I have flashed 3 different roms since on my note 3 and quite the break through! One time the apk. Didn't work but could have been my bad I was on a nab rom but Nc5 on the bootloader and modem :rolleyes: corrected the difference and all was good Thanks again ! :D":good:

To answer, I haven't tried substituting fonts, and with the inability to simply restore a nandroid backup, I'm not going to try ROM toolbox. But Xposed works fine and modules like Wanam will change the battery to lots of different things, among other very useful mods.

Can someone please help me? In the entire thread, there is only one instance of someone mentioning a parsing error, so it must be something I'm doing wrong.

AT&T Note 3 running 4.4 w/ 722276 kernel (which to my understanding means this should work.)

I downloaded the tr.apk file which is located on the root of the device storage (emulated/0) but when I try to install it, I get a parsing error. What am I not doing right? I'm new to all of this.

EDIT: Resolved by downloading the .apk directly from my phone's browser, instead of doing it on my computer like an idiot.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] mwshows:
LOL I see you're still bothered by this. Did you ever get your Tapatalk app to work like everyone else's?

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Cubfan99:
Nah, just having some fun. Some here need to seriously lighten up, though.

Actually, uninstalling and reinstalling Tapatalk gave me a search button, but the search is not very reliable. Google is littered with complaints about it.

Anybody getting ISIS to work on their VZ S5? I tried the ISIS Root Check Bypass module for xposed, but ISIS still says my phone is rooted and won't run. Thanks.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] mwshows:
I understand.

I think the frustration is warranted in some cases. Sometimes answers to questions being posed REALLY are 1 or 2 posts up, on the same page. Further, with how fast this thread moves, you can go back within 5 or so pages of the most recent post, and find answers to almost any question of importance. Answers are being repeated that often....

Tapatalk search function may suck, but it still works in general. Most don't even try it, unfortunately, before they ask questions. I personally have not had issue with it.

There are some who may be a little dramatic in their disgust to all the questions. I get why you feel defensive about it. I've taken many hours over the last several days to read every page....And I don't even own the phone (my wife does). If you have some time, read every page.... I mean REALLY read every page, not just skim. You might see why there is some frustration on the part of those answering questions over and over and over..... And over lol.

Damn...I finally got an app working using xposed...I'd hate to remove it for s health. I don't use any of that crap. Can I just freeze it and stop the error?

Can I edit the build.prop with xposed installed?

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Cubfan99:
Well, in my case, I did read every post and knew I saw it, but had no access to a PC and search wasn't even in my app. Turns out it was 25-30 pages back.

This root method is so easy that there are bound to be people in here who have done this for the first time. I can understand encouraging search, but there's no reason to call people stupid or mock. And what's the purpose of these forums if it isn't to help others?

I've been here for years modding and ROMing, and am still grateful to those who helped when I was new... And also remember very well the ones who were absolute entitled dicks who somehow forgot about learning themselves. :)

How are we suppose to update kernal from 3.4.0-257432 without root
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Lane W.:
I had this same feeling when browsing through ROM Toolbox earlier today & also when I entertained getting xposed yesterday. Never used xposed before but saw their 'disclaimer' that it could soft brick or send phone into bootloop which told me to avoid it.

Have you been using xposed now with root via towelroot? I'd like to try out the fonts and maybe notification bar colors/icons to see how that looks. That's about it until I explore through xposed to see what other framework and or themes it has. Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Muscleduck:
Rooting and installing Better Battery Stats could give you a better understanding of what is actually going on. Then uninstall or disable the hogging apps. I'm sure there ate excellent battery improving tutorials around. Disabling apps with Gemini did wonders for my old SGS2.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kidruk:
Uninstall your anti virus and do it that way brotha! As far as knox goes.... It's tripped. Might as well flash aosp and tell us how it goes lol.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Cubfan99:
There are plenty of fonts available for download. They may cost a buck, but not worth having to start over with a phone that won't boot. same goes with boot animations. Let someone else try. Ha.

Xposed is tricky... after installing, you to in the app and choose to install the framework. Then you reboot. You download and activate mods, then reboot again. Then you go in and do the settings.

Gravity Box and Wanam are big ones with lots of settings that usually come in custom ROMs. Gravity Box says it won't work with Touchwiz ROMs, but some of it does. Wanam works better for me.

You won't be able to change the lockscreen or notification toggles, but many other settings work great. I've managed to silence the boot sound, change the battery, clock, get all volume settings when pressing the volume button, etc. Also appears that Halo works among some other very advanced features. Check it out. I'm sure it will cover your needs.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kidruk:
Exactly. With xposed I don't feel the need to even flash a rom. Bootloader can stay locked for all I care. There are enough customizations with wanam and app settings that give me a fluent experience. You should just go for it bro. You will be happy with it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] atvguy7:
Please help!!

I understand this method does not void Knox warranty, but what if I choose to install CWMR and install a custom rom, will it then? If so, is the TowelRoot method only for root access if I'm trying to keep my warranty?﻿

Basically I am on Verizon's Edge Program and I need to return this phone eventually. I would like to root and install a custom rom unless it is going to void my warranty. Is this going to be possible?

On the vzw note 3 the only custom recovery u can use is safestrap because it still has locked bootloader. But ss needs updated to work with nc4... but no it will not trip Knox unless u try to install the wrong custom recovery or a rom with the wrong kernel. .. stick to the vzw note 3 thread only and u should be fine.... odin back to stock to return phone.

manually update SU binary

same question. I uploaded the latest SU 2.0 update to my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 running Android 4.3 (this is a phone Verizon just sent me because after I installed the latest KitKat update on it, the device is overheating & battery drain has sped up). Installed Towelroot, waited for restart, installed the latest SU 2.0 update. I try to open it but get the message "there is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a Problem!"

Are the binaries on the ZIP file? I never worked with a ZIP file on an android device, whats the trick?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] CamCroz99:
Nice work! Does anyone know of an unroot method that doesn't trip KNOX incase I ever need to send my device back?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] ks3rv3rg:
Use supersu, as far as I know this method, doesn't trip knox.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Lane W.:
Dude, spend the time it will take you to read this thread from Page ONE. I don't mean to be harsh, but what you're asking is one of the biggest & first things we were all advised. This IS ONLY ROOT The B/L is locked & there's no way

yet

to have recovery or ROMs. If you try this you're screwed cause Knox will be flagged (if you're lucky you'll be able to see this in knox) but more likely you just turned your phone into a nice pretty desktop ornament - or brick for your patio.

Read - Research - Read - Research - Read - Research when you've done this read it again to make sure you understand what can/cannot be done. If you do get root (is all you/we can get now is root) IMMEDIATELY get the apk for SuperSU - That is critical.

Trust me, as you spend the time to read this entire thread you'll likely see other people's questions that will help you. There's a reason this thread has 325,000 views & 2000+ replies
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] CamCroz99:
I have, my phone rooted and KNOX still says it's fine. I am just asking if there is a successful unroot method that dosent trip KNOX. If I just click permanent unroot in SuperSU will that successfully remove everything. Like device status and all that. I know that if i did that on my S iii it would still say "custom" under system status.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] martytoo:
Yes, I understand that but I am asking if SPDCLIENT should be frozen?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Jihoonie:
It depends if you want those annoying notifications telling you to update. I don't know enough about SPD to know whether it will impact a rooted device, but I imagine that any firmware or security policy updates will not co-exist well with a rooted device.

At the end of the day, I disabled both. Haven't had a nagging security policy update since.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Lane W.:
Thanks guys
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kidruk:
It will remove it bro. It's a full unroot and I have done it already. This is legitimately the simplest root and unroot method to date. Knox is not tripped.... Everything is literally at the click of a screen lolol... It doesn't get any easier than that.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] CamCroz99:
K cool. Thanks man, I just wanted to make sure.

Can't tell if it worked at this point. SuperuserSU 2.0 downloaded either from chainfire.eu or the play store (most recent 2.0 update) giving error that there is no SU binary installed. Researched all night, but I ran out of time, gotta be up at 4 am. any last minute advice on how to get the binary up and running would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks! I'm used to having my Galaxy Nexus where everything was easy.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] acbone710:
I am getting the same from my AT&T Note 2. I was really hoping this would work since it sounds like it keeps Knox and warranty checks.

Has anyone made a definitive list of devices that towelroot is working on? I think that would be extremely helpful in cutting down the noise in this thread. Could help geohot narrow down which devices still need work as well (if he is doing any further development).
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] christianrj:
For people having problems updating the su binary, just extract Superuser.apk from "Common" folder in the zip to your phone and install. Run Super SU, confirm the binary update and choose the NORMAL method.

Works for my phone (Galaxy S3 Neo Duos GT-I9300I). :good:

I tried unrooting with SuperSU and it still shows custom. What tar file are you referring too?

Update: Tar files won't work on 4.4.2 due to bootloader being locked, if you try this you will brick your device.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] christianrj:
It's because towelroot did not worked for you. If you have any antivirus or security app installed on your phone, you must completely disable or remove them. Then reboot your phone and try towelroot again.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dennisg34:
Stock Odin tar files work fine, you're just Odin'ing back to stock firmware. And the custom lock can be from running ART, nothing special to see there.

That's what keeps happening to me.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] martytoo:
I rooted my Verizon S5 this evening. One suggestion was that the new 2.00 SuperSU was now available in he PlayStore. After rooting the phone booted very very slowly. On a hunch I uninstalled 2.00 and installed 1.99 (which I had stored on dropbox in anticipation of needing it when rooting). I have an objective measure of the relative slowness of the boot process.

The app called "Android Assistant" will measure boot time. With SuperSU 2.00 I had a boot time of 9:49. I am not kidding. It was painful to wait. With 1.99 the boot time is now better but only 2:49. I just rebooted and the boot time is now down to 2:17. This is worse than before the root but acceptable. I wish I had written the boot time that was showing before I rooted but I neglected to do this. I kwow it was over one minute but less than 2.

Of course I now have a SuperSU update waiting for me in the playstore. I don't have the time to reinstall it tonight to see if the phone will slow once I try 2.00 again. I have the PlayStore set for manual updating.

And on another note, there is an app that will allow all programs to write to the S5's external Micro SD card. The normal situation is that only system apps can access the SD card. I would like to use this but I can't remember the name of the app. Can anyone here help me with this?
