Why do you say it will "likely not be rooted"? Is Lollipop that much harder for the devs to root or something? Or is support dwindling?

I need root mainly because I need to be able to tether for my job on a daily basis and I'm not about to dish out even more $ to VZW.....my unlimited data is my unlimited data and I'll use it how I please.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] flooritnfly:
Not sure if I would wanna trust that. I would feel safer being rooted. What's the next best device I can get and will be able to root/rom etc? I'm thinking wait for the G4?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] chrisj22:
Ever since the Mid Galaxy S4 area rooting has been pretty much useless anyway. The most I can do with a rooted S5 is flash lightened TW software which I can do on a non rooted phone. You can flash anything like Cyanogen or custom kernels so rooting now a days is pointless. With that said though it would still be cool if we could
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] steelersmb:
This is not entirely true and depends on your usage. I use automation apps and without root, you don't have the ability to turn on and off GPS, Data, etc. There are other benefits to root as well such as ad blocking.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] SotYPL:
And how exactly can you flash CM with locked bl and no root available?

Do you have to clear any caches when updating a custom ROM?

I updated to the latest custom ROM 51.1.5.0_515030720 on here:

http://www.aftvnews.com/roms/

It says that you have to pre-install older versions before installing the latest. So, if you wiped out any caches, how would that affect this?

My AFTV is taking a long time to boot for the first time after updating the custom ROM. Is this because I didn't clear any caches after updating?

Hey guys!

Just moved to London and got a new sim card from Three (unlimited 4G ;) ) and it's not working (works fine with SGS+). The phone is not detecting it. I was running stock 4.4.2, tried changing network types, tried all unlock methods (anyways, it was unlocked before), tried reinstalling the whole system and it didn't help. To make sure it's not the unlocking problem I switched to Cloudy 2.2 and still have the same problem. Although the phone is detecting other networks (Vodafone, O2 etc) but not "Three", and it's detecting my phone number right.

How to solve the problem and make it work?

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3D:
Do you have to install BOOT MENU every time before you update a Custom ROM?

http://www.aftvnews.com/roms/
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] will4958:
If I remember right, you only have to install the custom boot menu when applying either of the most recent updates. However, if you downgrade back to an older update that doesn't require the menu and decide to go back to the one of the newer updates, then you have to re-install the custom boot menu. I think it's only a requirement for the last two updates that're at the top of the list in the updates thread, the ones listed below don't require the custom menu. I know from experience that after install the custom menu and then the latest update, then going back to the build I was on before that, I lost the menu. Either way, though, just make sure you install the custom menu BEFORE applying the latest update, otherwise you'll get stuck on the Amazon logo screen, and the only way to get into recovery mode is to do the Fire TV version of the three finger salute: Alt+Shift+Print Screen, I think, and keep doing it til you get to recovery. I apologize in advance if I confused you a little, sometimes I get a little informative and ramble, kind of like what I'm doing right now:)
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3D:
I had Boot Menu previously installed but didn't reinstall it again before updating to this latest Custom ROM and now my AFTV is in a boot loop. I also noticed that the Boot Menu is now gone?

Is there anything I can do to fix this?

I can go into Recovery using the three finger salute, thanks!

But what do I do next?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] will4958:
Cool. Glad you were able to get back in there. When it happened to me, my arms got a little sore from having to smash the keyboard so much, but the keyboard is a little on the stiff side, so it didn't take much. Anyway, at this point you want to restore a backup you hopefully made, install the custom boot menu, then install the new update again. On the chance you don't have a recent backup, or any backup handy, just install any the last version you were on that didn't require the menu, reboot to make sure it took, install the custom menu, flash the new update, then reboot. That should get you back up and running.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3D:
Thanks! Unfortunately, I didn't make any backups of before when it was working.

How do I copy the Custom ROM zip file onto the AFTV?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] will4958:
Since you're only able to get into recovery mode at this point, you'd have to copy the ROM to a flash drive. If you have a USB hub, preferably a powered one, plug the flash drive into the hub, along with a usb/wireless keyboard if you have either. The Fire TV should automatically detect the flash drive as long as it's formatted with a Windows file format. At that point, installing the update is just like doing it from the Fire TV itself, but since you're using a flash drive you'll want to select the install from USB option. I forget exactly what it's called, but you'll know it when you see it. The only thing that'll pop up will be the custom ROM you copied to the drive.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3D:
So, I copy my zip file onto a USB drive and plugged it into a hub into the AFTV. However, I can't find any option to access the USB drive from inside Clockwork?

When I go into /sda1/ it doesn't actually show the contents of the USB drive. I'm using the same USB drive that I normally have plugged into the AFTV (for downloading videos from Genesis).
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] will4958:
Your flash drive has to be formatted to FAT or NTFS, both of which are Windows file system formats. Once you plug the drive into the Fire TV or hub, it will automatically detect it. Give it a few seconds to do so, then select Install zip. On the next screen you'll see the usual methods for installing a ROM, but now you should also see an option that says Choose zip from USB, or something similar to that. Once you choose it, the next screen should show the zip file for the custom ROM you placed on your flash drive, but the drive has to be formatted as a FAT32 or similar Windows file system drive for the Fire TV to see the drive. And yes, I know it sounds a little silly considering the Fire TV runs on a version of Linux, but that's technology for you:)
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3D:
Here are the options that I see?

Choose zip from /sdcard

Choose zip from last install folder

Install zip from sideload

My recovery is version: 6.0.5.1.4a

http://www.aftvnews.com/recovery/
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] will4958:
Yeah, it looks like it's not detecting your flash drive. Did you format the drive to something like FAT, FAT32, or NTFS? If not, it won't detect the drive, and you won't be able to install the ROM from the flash drive. Also, if the drive is already plugged in, you could try pulling it out then reinserting it again. But like I said, none of that will work if the drive isn't formatted properly.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3D:
Yes, it is NTFS?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] will4958:
I'd say if it's not detecting it with that format, try formatting as FAT32. I just checked a drive I've used before for the same thing, and it's formatted as FAT32 and it still has a recent update on it I tried before.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3D:
Thank you! I will try that.

So, I guess I should have re-installed BOOT MENU before upgrading the custom ROM.

It kind of doesn't make sense to have to re-install BOOT MENU if you already have it running before upgrading?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] will4958:
I can't remember the reason the custom boot menu requirement before applying the new update, but it does give you a couple different options when booting. Can't remember what they are, but the logo looks cool. As far as having to reinstall the custom boot menu, though, it's only a requirement for the two newest updates on this forum, and the way the thing is programmed it's made to look for that custom menu when booting. It only takes a couple minutes to install the menu, and after that you're back to watching Netflix, playing Dead Trigger, or whatever.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3D:
Yea, it was confusing whether or not the BOOT MENU needed to be re-installed before EVERY new update when you already have it installed and working.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aHcVolle:
i did not install the bootmenu again when i did update from 1.4.1 to 1.4.3 nor from 1.4.3 to 1.5.0.

I just installed the zip file via recovery.

Why dont you boot to recovery and adb push the update .zip file to your internal storage? IIRC adb is enabled in recovery,

(since you seem to be having problems with the usb drive)
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3D:
Yea, I didn't think I had to either since my BOOT MENU had been installed and working....but I got stuck in a boot loop after upgrading??

I ended up using SIDELOAD to push a zip to the AFTV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWXHD7PlaQc

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] steelcity:
I'm seeing a lot of conflicting posts from people about rooting and it is starting to confuse me so I just decided to make my own thread....

I am on 4.4.4 OA1 unrooted.

From this thread it sounds like it is just a matter of flashing an older kernel, running towelroot, and then reflashing back to the current kernel and I'm good to go.

I have flashed kernels before on my s3 without it affecting any of my data, but i have seen some posts suggesting that it is possible the phone or some data will reset.

So I guess the ultimate question is how safe is this method of rooting and will I be at risk of losing any data by flashing kernels? After I root my phone will it be just as it is now, only rooted?

I mainly just want xposed on my phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] nutt_case:
You shouldn't loose any data downgrading the kernel.

I'd still backup though, just in case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] skyrocketeer:
Towelroot doesn't even reboot your phone when you run it! (at least it shouldn't) It's a pretty safe and easy rooting method. However backups are your best friend when you step into root territory
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] steelcity:
Yea towelroot itself seems pretty harmless, it's the flashing of kernels that I am worried about mostly
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] skyrocketeer:
because the ATT S5 version is bootloader locked, it is not possible to flash kernels.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] steelcity:
Oh okay so I definitely misunderstood that other thread, it was talking about flashing stock Roms not just the kernels.

So this means I would in fact lose all my current phone data if I want to root this way.

Thanks for saving me a headache
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] nutt_case:
It's not possible to flash CUSTOM kernels...you can flash stock kernels all day long. There is no rom flashing involved.

I personally used this method to root several times and have never lost any data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] steelcity:
Thanks, this is what i thought to begin with. The other thread does come out and say your data won't be affected but i guess i just wanted to clarify the process and see how risky it is.

I think i will end up giving it a shot tomorrow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] nutt_case:
Their's always that chance of something going wrong, but if your careful and do your homework you'll be fine.

Best to read twice and flash once...

Good luck!
