Ok i feel real stupid right now but i cant get it to even download. Ive tried on two seperate devices. An lg flex and a galaxy note 3. I used this right after it launched on my s5 and it worked perfectly.

When i go to the site and click the icon it prompts me for the download and i accept. It never progresses past 0% and eventually just fails. Ive tried on and off wifi, different browsers, and even a factory reset. Any ideas on what im doing wrong. I feel whatever it is it has to be obvious.

Just did it yesterday on my new n9005 gold edition with kitkat ND3 (stock), kernel date is APR 2014

Knox counter is still vig** :D and changed the OS status back to official with Wanam Module in Xposed

BTW, It didn't need restart after I press the rain button, it just said you are now rooted and no needs to reboot

It's actually AMAAAAZING noww
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
Possible. Worth a shot to just download, try it, and see what you get. It doesn't trip Knox.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] klyzon:
Have already tried. Says not supported device so was wondering if towel root might work in future
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] kprice8:
No. If you read back in the thread a little ways, there are multiple times where it says that GeoHot is now working for Google finding these and other Exploits and Vulnerabilities, and getting them patched before releasing. Basically, this was his going away present to us.

Thanks for the tip, I guess I did not see the obvious.

Okay now I ran towelroot and it says I was successful and I previously installed SuperSU (but did nit run it). After towelroot was successful I ran SuperSU and it said it was unsuccessful and I needed to reboot. I rebooted and ran SuperSU and it appears to be running fine but I do not see how to configure aps. It appears to me that I must configure any app that I want to have SuperSU access. For example I am using a app Foldersync which I want to be able to write to my external SD Card so I am guessing I need to configure that app.

Please advise on how to configre apps.

Install nextappsdfix and it will allow all apps to write to the SD. the settings for supersu is in the upper right hand corner when supersu is open, then you need to install another app like rOM Toolbox or titanium backup to configure which apps you want to freeze or whatever
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] nkg:
Thank you I installed nextappsdfix and now I can write to the SD Card. I see the setting in SuperSU but I do not see how I configure any apps. I have looked thru the settings but see nothing to configure any apps so would appreciate more help.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] BadKarma81:
SuperSU only manages app permissions. When an application wants access to something that requires approval it'll pop up and ask you. If you're looking to get an app to write to your sdcard, the settings would be inside that app and not in SuperSU.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] windstrings:
Yep, SU is just the gatekeeper to the root treasure chest
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] nkg:
Thank you all for the responses. Now I understand that the app configuring is based on the app requiring the permission
