Eu fiz os arquivos por minha conta usando comandos no Linux só não fiz a verificação pra md5, mas tudo ocorreu certo e o Knox continuou 0x0, mas o status ficou em custom, como posso fazer pra resetar ele? Eu sei que o Triangle Away reverte mas me falaram que é "apenas por cima". De qualquer maneira obrigado pelos arquivos!

I made the files by own using linux commands, only didn't made the md5 verification, but all occurred well and the Knox kept 0x0, but the status passed to custom, how can I do to reset it? I know that the Triangle Away reverts but they told to me that is just a fake status"

Anyway thanks for the files!

I made the files on my own using commands in Linux just did not check for md5, but everything went right and what went Knox 0x0, but the status remained in custom, how can I do to reset it? I know that the Triangle Away reverses but told me that it's "just over". Anyway thanks for the files!
[Galaxy S 5 General] Luckzao:
Done..
[Galaxy S 5 General] aguarello:
:D

That "Status" thing is not as important as KNOX and is fully reversible, root access made this appear as "Custom", unrooting shout take the OFFICIAL status back, if not, flash your official firmware again, doing this is useful for example when taking the device to Warranty service, but if that's not the case, don't worry about it...

You won't get OTA updates though, but that's not very important at least for me beacause I always update early and faster with ODIN! :D ;)
[Galaxy S 5 General] ocaldini:
In order to let it official, you have to use Wannam Xposed, there's an option for that "securty hacks" - fake system status.

Do not use TA on S5. In the future, If you'll have to, you can flash an official firmware and have the status official again.

---------- Post added at 11:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 PM ----------

To extract you can use Winrar and extract the rom files in the TAR you want.

To create a TAR with the files you want inside it, you can use Linux or Cygwin on Windows.

If you don't have linux installed on Computer or Virtual Machine, Cygwin solves this issue properly.

These are the commands you need to create a TAR on Cygwin (I believe you use Windows only, so you will have to download and learn a little about Cygwin, it's not difficult, you have to copy the files you want into cygwin\home\username, and open cygwin.

Ex.: TAR of boot.img and recovery.img:

________________________________________________

tar -H ustar -c boot.img recovery.img > final.tar

md5sum -t final.tar >> final.tar

mv final.tar final.tar.md5

________________________________________________

Done. Then you have a TAR of boot.img and recovery.img ready to be flashed on Odin.

;)
[Galaxy S 5 General] Luckzao:
I don't care about OTA cause I use Odin to update too, and the status is not important to me, like you said it's fully reversible. Thank you so much for the tutorial, helped a lot :laugh:

S5 G900F DBT

than did from the first post

root, knox ok

[Galaxy S 5 General] jylong_away:
Thanks to the OP, as this thread has given me some new hope!

I have a 900F from Singapore, which has the latest firmware version G900FDXU1ANG1. Also not compatible with towelroot at this point. Has anyone tried to downgrade to the previous firmware, and then using the OP method for rooting? I imagine that the modem/bootloader files would be different from the G900FXXU1ANG2 firmware? Does anyone have the bootloader and modem files for the Singapore ROM?

Also, if I flashed my Singapore phone with the stock G900FXXUANG2, would that trip KNOX?

Thanks!

[Galaxy S 5 General] wajiman:
as of now this method has only been tested on 900F AFAIK. Why dont you try it?? and yes DOWNGRADING WILL NOT TRIP KNOX
[Galaxy S 5 General] aguarello:
:)

Yes, downgrading and then applying this mode works, I've try it myself, no I don't have those files, but you can flash this ROM, there almost no difference between country's Roms if same firmware... WON'T TRIP KNOX

Could you be a little more expecific?

What was the error, what didn't work?

Make sure you're running the last version of MOBILE ODIN PRO, (4.2), just in this recent version, the support for G900F was added.
[Galaxy S 5 General] giglioblu:
After flash with mobile odin my phone remains on recovery booting, and not restart in download mode. Why?
[Galaxy S 5 General] aguarello:
:)

Maybe you didn't select the "BOOT INTO DOWNLOAD MODE AFTER FLASHING" option on mobile odin, or maybe you selected "WIPE DALVIK CACHE".
[Galaxy S 5 General] jylong_away:
Thanks for that! Did you extract and creat the bootloader file yourself? If so, would you be able to describe the process to me? I'd like to try it with the DXU1ANG1 firmware file and see if it can be extracted.

dear by which Odin can i downgrade my mobile either from mobile Odin pro 4.20 or by PC Odin. mobile Odin pro is not working it need root permission in my phone G900H .please help in this regard. thankyou
[Galaxy S 5 General] navinash.avi:
after flashing ill data and apps ill be delete

and now odin pro is working
[Galaxy S 5 General] wajiman:
you will have to use PC Odin for this v3.09, in there uncheck auto reboot box. Once it has flashed, you will have to manually boot into recovery mode and data factory reset the device. Reboot again and follow the steps in the OP to root to latest rom
[Galaxy S 5 General] dgraziotin:
No luck for me. It seems to work perfectly. Then, after PC Odin flash, botting into recovery gives a "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again" error. Luckily, downgrading works fine.

Knox is off, reactivation lock is off.

SM-G900F, coming from G900FXXU1ANE2.

Any help?
[Galaxy S 5 General] wajiman:
Did you uncheck auto reboot in Mobile and PC Odin?
[Galaxy S 5 General] dgraziotin:
Yup. PC Odin seems to work. However, it finishes the process with "All threads completed (succeed 0 / failed 1). After rebooting into recovery, the "firmware upgrade" error appears.
[Galaxy S 5 General] giglioblu:
I selected BOOT INTO DOWNLOAD MODE AFTER FLASHING and not WIPE CACHE DALVIK
[Galaxy S 5 General] dgraziotin:
I have no clue how I did it, but it worked. My only variation was that, at the end of the process, instead of rebooting into the recovery (home+vol up+power button), I stayed into download mode. Then, from Heimdall (instead of Odin), I clicked the Close PC screen button. The phone rebooted, it finished "optimizing the applications", and it was rooted.

Anyway, thanks for writing this tutorial!

how to DISABLED knox
[Galaxy S 5 General] giglioblu:
can you tell me what is flagged in settings supersu?
[Galaxy S 5 General] aguarello:
:D

Use latest version of PC ODIN.

I didn't, a friend got them for me, but AFAIK you can 7zip-> unpack and IZArc... repack in tar format.

On supersu, will ask to disable in first start, if you already did it you OK!
[Galaxy S 5 General] aguarello:
:s

Did you correctly select the 2 FILES respectively CP and BL when flashing?

You didn't flash the whole firmware by odin again did you?
[Galaxy S 5 General] dgraziotin:
Yup. I flashed only CP and BL. However, it worked fine by doing what I wrote before (see below).
[Galaxy S 5 General] aguarello:
Ohh okay, glad you make it. :)
[Galaxy S 5 General] navinash.avi:
after flashing ill data and apps ill lose should need take back up ?
[Galaxy S 5 General] aguarello:
:D

[MENTION=4759638]navinash.avi[/MENTION] You shouldn't lose any apps/data when following this method...

But anyway, a full backup is always recommended when flashing. ;)
[Galaxy S 5 General] navinash.avi:
ok thanks now flashing and ill infrom u the status after completions
[Galaxy S 5 General] navinash.avi:
done flashing

but knox counting 0x1

and after flashing through odin pc i went recovery

its showed entering to recovery after a minute it phone started

here is my phone info is flash success

see below pics
[Galaxy S 5 General] aguarello:
:D

This is very weird, did you have KNOX 0x0 before flashing?

Remember this method is for KEEPING KNOX 0x0 + ROOT in the new firmware and NOT for changing it to 0x0 from 0x1.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Bec de Xorbin:
Pardon my noobness with Samsungs, but wouldn't this method also work with G900F? http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-root-g900vvru1ane9-t2836201

Flash old kernel, re-root, flash new kernel?
[Galaxy S 5 General] gee2012:
If someone has the cohones to flash a NE2 kernel on a NG2 rom we`ll know ;)
[Galaxy S 5 General] aguarello:
:D

The files between the 2 versions (G900F and G900W) do NOT match!

And flashing them incorrectly will brick your device.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Bec de Xorbin:
Yeah, I assumed that but what I meant was upgrading to NG2 -> flashing NE2 kernel -> root -> flash back NG2 kernel. In theory, that should work?
[Galaxy S 5 General] aguarello:
:D

As [MENTION=2743227]gee2012[/MENTION] said, if you have the balls to flash NE2 kernel in NG2 firmware, you can try and report back :D

[Galaxy S 5 General] aguarello:
[MENTION=4759638]navinash.avi[/MENTION] Knox is like a "flag" that detects "modifications" in your system (like root or a custom rom) and when you trigger it it changes its state from 0x0 to 0x1, and this is completely irreversible, think of it as a bomb, when you detonate it, you can put the bomb back in his original place...
[Galaxy S 5 General] navinash.avi:
Due to knox warrenty only will aviod or any thing else danger to phone
[Galaxy S 5 General] aguarello:
No, nothing will happen to your phone if Knox is triggered, you just will void your warranty (although in some countries is illegal to deny warranty even if Knox is in 0x1)

mate there is an experiment in the works, but for that we require Bootloader extracted from the latest firmware. if you can get your hands on it, i can tell you the way

BUT its experimental hence might trigger KNOX
[Galaxy S 5 General] aguarello:
As wajiman said... You need the bootloader and cp extracted from the firmware but is a lot of hard work and much chances of issues...
[Galaxy S 5 General] navinash.avi:

[Galaxy S 5 General] wajiman:
Download firmware extract it and get .tar.md5 or .tar file, reboot phone into download mode, open PC Odin, click 'AP' and select the firmware, flash. After flash again goto download mode and flash CF Root.

I have heard that they have blocked CF root to install. Hence proceed at your own risk
[Galaxy S 5 General] navinash.avi:
Ok thanks but yesterday i flashed uk btu through ur method and now can i flash hk version it will cause soft brick ???..

Great guide. Updated and lost root. Followed the guide and now on latest with root knox still at 0x0. :cool:
[Galaxy S 5 General] b0ng0:
I foolishly upgraded to ANG2 after using towelroot and subsequently lost root.

I want to try upgrading with this method to keep root, but obviously first I need to get back to stock (ANCE?).

My question is: can I use ODIN from my desktop to just flash the stock firmware (do I need any modem or kernel when doing this)? Then presumably once I am back at stock I can follow this method and get rooted once more :good:.

Appreciate any advice you guys can offer.
[Galaxy S 5 General] prakalejas:
I get android.process.acore error and bootloop after flashing ANE2 firmware. Upgraded again to latest, tried clearing contacts and phone cache, but still same problem after downgrade :( I had some apps disabled, and can't enable them on newest firmware, but they shouldn't be the problem.

EDIT: flashed ANE2, had to do factory reset, then the phone booted. Then this step by step works. Thank You!
[Galaxy S 5 General] aguarello:
Yes, as I said in the OP, you can downgrade, just flash the firmware with odin pc (disable auto reboot) , reboot in recovery, wipe data (factory reset).

No bootloader or cp files needed...

Remember to fully backup everything :)

I tried this myself and it worked flawlessly.

PS: As you're downgrading, wiping data from recovery as I said before is NOT an option, if you don't do it, your device won't boot.

PS: Remember to install SuperSu/Update binaries, and install BusyBox. (or mobile odin pro won't work)

Best luck.
[Galaxy S 5 General] b0ng0:
Ok so just to make sure I have this correct (i'm a bit of a noob with these things, sorry)

1-Boot into recovery and flash stock firmware

2- wipe data/factory reset BEFORE booting back into android

3- root with towel root and install SuperSu /BusyBox

4- install mobile odin pro

5- follow the instructions as per OP

Is that correct?

Cheers mate.

Dxu1ang1 success!!

After so many days of lurking, debating and Googling, I I finally managed to get together all the things I needed to do this procedure. Getting the bootloader file for ANG1 was the hardest thing, but I fortunately managed to find a tutorial on using TAR_MD5_PACKAGER, and created the bootloader from firmware.

Initially downgraded to ANE2 with PC odin, and Knox stayed at 0x0

Then towelrooted, and installed SuperSU(for some reason, it said 'cannot install binary', but still gave me root functions). Busybox and Mobile Odin Pro after that.

Rooted with Mobile Odin Pro, and noted that Knox was still 0x0 in download mode. Then flashed the Bootloader via PC Odin (Modem for ANG1 is the same as ANE2)

Rebooted into recovery, then phone reboot. It still seems that I have root (apps can be granted permissions by SuperSU), but am going to test it in a second with Solid Explorer and LP.

Success! Root still retained!(able to explore and edit root folder with Solid Explorer)

And finally, restarting into download mode to check Knox...SUCCESS! KNOX WARRANTY VOID 0x0!!! System status still official!

Thank you so much to OP, and to geohot for towelroot!

Hopefully the Mobile Odin/Everoot option will continue to work for future firmwares as well!
[Galaxy S 5 General] gee2012:
Do you have the latest superSU from Play installed? Sometimes a reboot and trying a few times to update the binaries works.
[Galaxy S 5 General] aguarello:
:)

I think this is beacause of a limitation of MOBILE ODIN to flash those files when flashing the firmware.

Yes leave F. Reset Time TICKED.
