SE disabled on 0.1?

it says nothing in system anymore below build

you should maybe consider a txt file in the zip and jot into it every time you change something before you forget

v0.2

tweaked this

added that

[MENTION=4731772]Hbohd[/MENTION] tks for your excelent work!!!, one notice, the I9305 didnt charge the battery when is off. Only, starts and boots normally, and there starts charge. Its only a detail, but in my case Important. Tks again for your work!!!!
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Hbohd:
I haven't stated anything different from what is true :o I mean, if I write that you can you use it with new bootloader or SE is disabled - then it would be true :)

I think that in next release I will disable it (simply forgotten due to my compiling problems mentioned earlier).

Oh, and I don't need another changelog when everything is written in the git :D I haven't just suceeded in uploading it to the github yet :/

Yeah, someone mentioned it already. I will try to fix it for next version, thanks! :)

Will be in for the next so-called 'alpha' :p
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] woodman:
Just to be sure, Is "HboKernel alpha v0.1" an update of previous "HboKernel v2" of boeffla thread ? Same source + small changelog you [MENTION=4731772]Hbohd[/MENTION] mentionned in post #10 ?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Hbohd:
Yep, you are right :)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Looki75:
If I may suggest [MENTION=4731772]Hbohd[/MENTION]... Could you please start with the power features implementation? Charging rates, ignore unstable power and margin...

Because these are the ones I really miss... My chargers and/or cables are not good and I need these mods to charge properly...

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] fred_up:
Firsty thanks for all your hard work.

The phone no longer charges from the car dock. This was the same for the stock kernels in 4.1.2 & 4.3 - still withold bootloader. 4.1.2's was fixed with Pegasus kernel and 4.3 was fixed by your Beoffia 5 kernel.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] mmark27:
Nice find! That page is all kinds of confused. Source still hasn't been posted and there's nothing official on the Sprint site. It also said it started 9/24/2014, which is doubtful given no source, etc. When linking through to the "how to update" it says NE5 and NI4 listed in the same sentence.

Regardless, hopefully we see this all happen soon. I'm also hopeful that the changelog is actually more than that.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] MooreAJr:
If history has been any indicator, and I've been with Sprint for like 4 years now, I wouldn't expect to start seeing ota end user confirmation until about 2 1/2 weeks to a month after its alleged release :/ Our American carriers and their sluggish staggered rollouts lol
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] kidallstar95:
I had a chat with a Sprint Representative, and she said that they had no knowledge of a update on the 24th and the we should be updated in October.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] garwynn:
Yeah, looking like a goof on Samsung's part. No source, no announcement as far as I have seen.

This is not available OTA or through Kies. Also Sprint CSR's are denying it has been released. So I think it hasn't been released. :D

Wait, you don't think that the International Business Times, Australian edition, is a reliable source of information for the US Sprint model GS5 ??????

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] JoeFCaputo113:
Correct, Sprint S5. The latest official OTA form Sprint/Sammy is "NE5" which is 4.4.2 based. I'm hoping they say F*** 4.4.4 and go straight to Lollipop in December/EARLY January :D :silly:

Can you please mirror it?! It's soooo slow on sammobile lol.

Also on a side note, can someone tell me what "HD Voice icon" means (in the changelog)?!

Like here? :D http://rwilco12.com/downloads.php?d...print) (SM-G900P)/Stock ROMs/NK4/Original TAR

HD voice is supposed to mean that the call clarity is of HD quality. Sometimes makes a difference, sometimes not.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] mmark27:
When you are on a call, in the upper corner of the call it will have this "HD" icon. It's not very exciting. We were already using HD voice before they put the little icon there, so whoopity-do.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] tpapa:
Updated this morning but don't see an HD icon. Does that feature have to be enabled somewhere?

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] mmark27:
That's nearly unintelligible.

Are you saying that it invoked a PRL and Profile update to allow you to make a call while roaming? and then now it works great to make calls while roaming? Did it reset your roaming settings (ie, ticked boxes)?

Went to system updates in phone, it went through the process maybe 20 mins including download of 366mb or so. I haven't checked it out yet
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] JoeFCaputo113:
What's the difference between that and cf auto root??
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Comet1966:
I dont really know how CF Auto root works. so idk lol
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] JoeFCaputo113:
CF Auto root is how you actually obtain root with SuperSU lol.. I guess it installs SuperSU into the system or some ish like that. But what does this (the zip you showed me) do?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Comet1966:
I think it does the same thing. I have used it several times. It pushes root and their app to the system.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] JoeFCaputo113:
Hmmm, maybe? Maybe [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] could shed some light on this?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Comet1966:
Yeah lol come join the party! But i think CF Auto root works when you dont have a recovery. The method I used will only work if you have a recovery. I think some phones have to get root and then flash recovery but for me I got recovery first, then root.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] JoeFCaputo113:
How did you get a custom recovery, with no root? lol :confused:
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Comet1966:
I thought i mentioned that earlier lol i used Odin to flash Philz clockworkmod recovery, then flashed the zip.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] ZerosAndOnes:
HD voice only works if you're calling another HD voice phone and both phones are connected to HD voice compatible cell towers. We had it before it just didn't show the icon (but you could certainly hear the difference in quality).

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] jnadke:
Any no-wipe tar files?

I had done TowelRoot + ART on 4.4.2. OTA update failed. Undid ART back to Dalvik. Still failed. Uninstalled TowelRoot + SuperSU, OTA update still fails. I have no clue why.

I never installed any custom recovery or anything. I'll probably need to Odin, but I'd prefer not to lose my data.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] banccalif:
The nk4 tars do not wipe data but I suggest to backup your internal memory to a pc and save the files you'd like to keep with you. It's been said to wipe internal memory before updating for best results
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] jnadke:
Thanks for your help. I'll reflash NK4.

/Rant: As a former developer that has more important things to do now-days than maintaining my phone as a hobby, I prefer not to wipe. I agree when flashing ROMs, all bets are off and wipe data should be necessary. Further, when I do encounter issues, I usually wipe as a first approach to debug/fix them.

However, Android has been out for almost 7 years now, I feel like it should be mature enough that I can do something like replacing/upgrading the system files without major issues. But I understand for the purposes of support from this forum, wiping first is preferred since some are not technically astute.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] bryanu:
For all of you that want to root and not follow any of the steps posted here which all WILL trip knox and void warranty it's simple.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57130198&postcount=13

In short use KIES to update to latest release (OTA is known to fail, even on stock phones, is a bug all over sprint forum).

After, install towelroot but don't run it.

Flash the stock NE5 Kernel via Odin 3.09.

Run towelroot (phone will run a bit slow and lots of random errors, ignore, due to old kernel).

Flash NK4 Kernel back via Odin 3.09.

Install SuperSU and profit.

You will now have FULL root without having tripped knox.

If you use CF-auto-root, flash any non-stock kernels or recoveries your knox will be tripped as 0x1 and samsung warranty considered void (though it's hit or miss if held against you).

I just wanted to root stock to remove bloat and do manual tweaks but didn't want to risk any troubles for warranty so did this method.

FWIW I did this all on a factory reset as I didn't want to worry about anything old lingering around and didn't have much to bother backing up but it should work without also.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] cruise350:
That's awesome, but where do you get the NK4 kernel to Odin? I found the NE5 kernel in the development section but don't see a post with the NK4 kernel.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] m20120:
It looks like you can find a link to the stock NK4 kernel at the end of the OP in This Thread.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] cruise350:
I found that, but those are .zip files for flashing through recovery. I extracted them and no tar file inside. Can I flash a zip file with odin? Don't they have to be tar files. Can these files be flashed through the stock recovery if I rename them update.zip? Also, the links for the NE5 kernel in the development section are dead also. Thanks for you help.

---------- Post added at 02:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

I've had no luck finding odin flashable kernel files for NE5 and NK4. Can you post links to the files you used.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] m20120:
I think you can make a tar using the contents of the zip. I have not tried it before, but looks like instructions are here.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] bryanu:
I converted the zips into .tar.md5 and used Odin to flash them.

It took me a bit of searching to find the kernels too lol.

Attached are the converted files. These are 100% stock ones I downloaded from XDA and I just converted them into the proper format using another thread I found on XDA.

When all is said and done KNOX will say 0x0 and the OS will say Custom (due to rooting).

My recommended method would be flash the latest release full release using KIES, factory reset the phone (to start clean). Install towelroot, load the NE5 kernel, boot up, click ok to the random errors, run towelroot flash NK4 (new) kernel back and once booted up load SuperSU and that's it.

You of course probably don't have to do a factory reset but I always do just to start clean since they changed a decent amount of stuff and it generally proves to offer best performance.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] edozier:
Anyone else confim this works? Just got the phone yesterday and wanted to remove the damn sprint vm as it is driving me crazy and I use google voice. Also wanted to use titanium backup... Unfortunately not worth voiding the warranty at this point with the phone being only 1 day old. If this is confirmed I would go for it.

Thanks.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] cruise350:
I can confirm this works!!! I just did it and I'm rooted with hotspot open via galaxy tools, xposed running several modules, and my knox warranty bit is 0X0!!!

I pretty much followed Bryanu's procedure except I did not do a factory reset. This is what I did:

1. Download the NK4 tar file from sammobile.com and install via odin.

2. Installed towel root but did not run it.

3. Boot into download mode and install NE5 Kernel with odin & reboot.

4. Run towel root and make it rain! I still had supersu installed so it asked to update the binary right away, which I did, and then booted back into download mode.

(Remember, since you are running the wrong kernel, the phone will be very sluggish and just answer OK to all the apps that are force closing)

5. Reinstall the NK4 Kernel with odin and profit!!!!

6. Reactivated my xposed modules and my hotspot!

Bryanu, many thanks for discovering this and sharing it with the community!! Props to you!!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] slickdealers:
I'll confirm that this works as well!

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] flyboyjr:
I just did all this and I have root... Thanks!!!

May I ask how you got Hotspot to work, or where would I get the app for Hotspot for NK4?

Do I need a custom recovery?

Thanks!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] m20120:
I have not tried it (yet) but I have read that you can get hotspot using Galaxy Tools without a custom recovery (and without tripping Knox).
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] flyboyjr:
Tried to install Galaxy Tools from recovery and I get an error about Footer is wrong...

Is there an APK file ... I'm trying to install GalaxyTools.zip
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] cruise350:
Galaxy tools is an apk. Don't know what you downloaded, but it is available here on xda, just do a search for it. I don't want to repost a developer's app workout permission from the developer.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Mr._Happy:
So... I just got the S5 on Sprint. And like others I am finding I need root.

Only trouble is I did the NK4 update OTA (rather than with Kies) before reading this thread.

Is there any way for me to root 4.4.4 now without tripping Knox, or have I blown it?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] banccalif:
You should be able to still use the method provided by cruise
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Sabre8073:
Isnt CF auto root supporting 4.4.4 as well as the new 5.0 now?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] banccalif:
Yes it is and I'd keep a download of the latest supersu zip in my SD card to flash in recovery just in case root doesn't stick. I believe the latest is 2.37 if I'm not mistaken
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] dmolavi:
Will this procedure work on 4.4.2 devices that are already rooted with towelroot?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] bryanu:
Yes because when you update you will lose the root and have to do this to regain so just follow the steps.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] dmolavi:
Awesome, thank you so much.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] vincey2kr1:
when I install SuperSU and it detects Knox, should I let it disable Knox?? Options are "Cancel,Never,OK" which one do I pick I don't want to trip the knox counter so I don't want to screw this up . Thanks !! literally waiting on this screen so someone please help asap
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] cruise350:
Select ok, that message has nothing to do with the Knox counter. The Knox counter is tripped when you install a custom recovery. What you are disabling is the Knox nags that will popup because you're rooted.

I have unlimited data and no tether plan, just tried to setup the mobile hotspot with no dice says I have to pay 30/mo for tethering. Been using EasyTether which works - I hate having to install separate apps on both the phone and pc to do this, but it works which beats the alternative.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GatorsUF:
Thanks for checking, did you try both FoxFi and built in? Are there any other hotspot apps that might work?

I am really hoping to tether my tablet from my phone, so the EasyTether won't really work for me. I also use my phone to tether my chromecast and tablet together...so bluetooth isn't the best option for that either.

I presume once root is achieved it will be possible, so I will have patience just hoped it would be an easy fix :)
