[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knowthyrom:
Hi,

I have a Verizon galaxy s5 and have been using optimal Rom for several months and wanted to try something new.

I used the instructions here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2784880 and flashed the Nk2 tar file with odin.

I continue as per instructions and flash the NCG Stock kernel which allowed me to root and install safestrap.

I load into safestrap and install resurrection remix i get the installation successful message and reboot but phone reboots to system recovery screen.

I tried several times with same result.

Then i try fusion rom and after installation phone boots into system recovery.

WHat am i doing wrong?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yanis488:
Hello knowthyrom

Excuse me if i misunderstanding you

But in thread of fusion rom

it mentionned that

phone must reboot on recovery mode

for installing gaps

Have you installed it

Just remind you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kaveman169:
I have seen all the posts about being able to root Lolipop 5.0.1 with Kingroot. When I try this on my phone, it fails over and over. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] real4life72:
I've tried everything I can think of and tried what others have suggested. I can't get the apk or the windows version to work. Personally I'm a bit leary of Kingroot anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kaveman169:
At least you are not the only one having the problem as I thought I was. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bangdosa:
If you're on OF1, I believe Kingroot isnt working currently. OC1 works from experience and people on the forums on the desktop. Check your build number. If on OC1, maybe you didn't turn on USB debugging?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] real4life72:
I wish I could say it was something as simple as USB debugging. I'm on OC1 and took the update from 4.4.2 via Kies. That was my fault. My understanding was by doing that or taking the OTA update from Verizon it permenantly locks the bootloader.

I've tried every version of Kingmaster...apk will get to 52% and stop. The only thing I can think of is that I have not clicked the correct buttons on the PC version which is very possible. I have yet to find any English instructions for it. If anyone has them detailed please send.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kaveman169:
I get the same thing. Kingroot gets to around 50% and then quits. I do feel that nothing is permanent, and with all the savvy techies out there, someone will figure out some sort of exploit. It is unfair for Verizon to lock down their phones to discourage people from switching carriers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxD34THxX:
Well, read the EULA..

That said, Kingroot is still hit and miss.on OC1. OF1 came out in the past few weeks so I wouldn't expect anything for atleast a month.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kaveman169:
Yep. It's unfortunate. For me, the reason I need to root is that I can't send texts with Tmo Simi a Verizon phone. This only happens on Tmo 4G. When signal drops to 3G or E, I can send text. I thought I would switch the antenna setting to stay on 3G. There is another post about this workaround somewhere on this forum.

Oh well. Maybe I'll find someone to trade me for a Tmobile S4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fudplayers:
Hello, I've tried running the apk of KingRoot on OC1 and it gets to usually 33% before its done so no root here either. I tried to download the desktop version and it won't even come up, so I guess we're stuck for now. I'm like a few others here, I don't fully trust KingRoot so I hope someone way smarter than me can come up with a program to root!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] smartcellmobile:
I tested on my OC1, KingRoot is working perfectly. I can't root it initially, but after changing another computer it works brilliantly this morning
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kaveman169:
Lots of people have talked about success with OC1 and Kingroot. Doesn't appear to work with OF1 though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] real4life72:
Sounds great...can you let us know the exact steps? I'll give it another shot. For me I guess since it's not in English I have found it tough.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Clarke33:
I was in the same boat a week or so ago. I had been rooted but had a problem trying to flash another rom. I had to Odin back to stock but when I tried to root again the kingroot app no longer works. This is what worked for me. I went to the kingroot site and let Google translate the home page. You have to download the root installer zip, which to me, was the hardest part. I just used trial and error by clicking on boxes on the installer page until I got it downloaded. If needed I can download it again and post the methods, step by step.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] real4life72:
I'll give it another look. I tried Google Translate but it's still doesn't completely translate. ..at least for me. I just find it odd that there is not at least clear English instructions somewhere. Even if it was just a listing of screen shots.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] smartcellmobile:
Initially I was having the same issue while using KingRoot. This was what I did to make it work:

1. Uninstall KingRoot, restart your computer

2. Re-download kingroot from kingroot.net, choose " [windows logo] 下载电脑版本 "

3. Install KingRoot, run it

4. Turn on I545 usb debugging, plug in to your computer and you will see kingroot is running.

5. After loading you will see some chinese words 尚未Root。。。。。 or 发现新的root档案 。。。。 etc, click on the green button to start rooting and you will get it done.

6. I successfully have done more than 300pc I545 yesterday, however, sometimes if it keeps on loading without rooting what you need to do is to restart your computer and re-do it again

I can understand chinese, you may show me picture if you need me to translate
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fudplayers:
I'm going to try that method when I get home from work today. The app doesn't work for me and the desktop I was having issues with but resolved those by uninstalling KingRoot then downloading it again . It ran that time but never rooted, must've ran the desktop version close to 10 times with no luck. The program tried to root, it would run for about 5-10 minutes then it would show a pic of a phone with a red X on the screen, no root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] real4life72:
I think this is the problem...I see no green button when Kingroot loads and I've plugged my phone in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fudplayers:
I tried again probably 15 times. Uninstalled,reinstalled,shut down PC several times, it just does not work. I don't know what's going on but I can't get it to root. The desktop version gets to about 60% every time before saying no root. Once again a no go but I am curious to see if anyone else is still being successful at it. I almost thought that maybe Kingroot took down the root for the S4 for some reason, not sure why they'd do that but its a possibility I guess.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kalashn!kov:
Kingroot worked for me...

i got my S4 like 2 months ago with of course lollipop 5.0.1 installed and I had to try rooting via Kingroot several times before the root was successful except now i soft-bricked de-rooting to install an update. I believe i read somewhere to keep trying and it eventually works, i used the PC version of Kingroot. Good luck
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NKDSI:
Hi, I'm having issues with step 5. There isn't any green button that comes up. The first time I run the kingroot after reinstalling it, it shows just a blue button after thinking for several seconds.

(I can't figure out how to attach an image to my post, and apperently links aren't allowed either...) i.imgur.com/8BilQtT.png

After clicking the blue button, it goes to this screen: i.imgur.com/wScf2TT.png

There's a checkmark there, but my phone is not rooted. It did install KrHelper4Pc to my phone though.

Subsequent runs of kingroot (without reinstalling) show this after thinking for several seconds: i.imgur.com/HVmqOLm.png

I've tried this several times and the exact same thing happens each time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fudplayers:
I tried to flash the OF1 update but it didn't take so to get back to OC1 I flashed the neutered tar file to get me back. That's when I couldn't root with kingroot. I wonder if I Odin flashed muniz OC1 downgrade tar if that'd do anything? I'm not sure if those are the same or not?

Also, my phone constantly has the update install showing, I wonder if that keeps kingroot from rooting?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] smartcellmobile:
I tried OF1, for sure it can't be rooted by using kingroot

---------- Post added at 05:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------

When kingroot not successfully rooting your phone, basically what I did was to restart my computer and try again. By closing KingRoot clicking X button does not kill the instance, it remember your phone setting. When KingRoot was installed to your phone, basically it asked you to try rooting it using phone version (means you have failed to root), if this occurs, what I did was to uninstall the phone version, then restart computer and tried again.

We root many i545 using 3 computers, all are running perfectly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fudplayers:
Thanks for the reply. I tried what you suggested once again. I must've tried it 10 times again so at this point I'm throwing in the towel and will just wait until a dev comes up with a better root method because KR is certainly not rooting this S4. I do appreciate the responses and different ways to try. I guess the one good thing that's happened is the KR website is now in English.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bangdosa:
Me, being the silly person I am decided to take a look at what those words could mean using limited knowledge of Chinese Characters and google trans here are the trans that google spat out of each phrase

Pic 1

无root方案, 晢未适配

No root program, Zhe not adaptation

0人

Zero people

已提交适配造求

It was submitted seeking adaptation made

提交

Submit

So I'm guessing the first pic, after detecting your phone, stated that there was it could not find a way to root

and the blue button only was you sending a submission request to developers to find a way to root it

Pic2

(check) 已收 到适配 请求

Adaptation request has been received

confirmation for the request you sent to developers

Pic 3

无root方案 已收 到适配 请求

No root adaptation program has received a request

its restating the first part and that you already sent a request
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] real4life72:
Am I the only one one who finds the whole Kingroot thing just odd? No English translation, which I find odd in today's day and time. Some people can root, some can't. I can't even seem to find any videos showing a tutorial.

Just strange to me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] smartcellmobile:
Today my computer failed rooting. What I did, uninstall king root, redownload king root again and install it. then it works again. u go with it last try perhaps no harm
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fudplayers:
I've tried that already and no dice. The only thing I can think might and that's a big might, is when I updated I never updated the apps mainly because I don't use 99%of the pre-installed apps. I doubt that would have anything to do with it but I've seen stranger things.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nitishanand99:
okay, here's the thing.

i soft bricked my verizon s4 couple of days ago trying to downgrade from OC1 (5.0.1) to MDK (4.2.x) via Odin on pc. before doing that i tried various root methods, king root & towelroot apk , king root desktop, none of it worked. but after i flashed the stock OC1 via odin to recover my device, the first exploit i tried to root was Kingroot desktop app (it was all in chinese i used google translator on android) and it worked! i replaced the knigroot app with supersu (since its more reliable) using terminal ( http://www.w0lfdroid.com/2015/05/How...h-SuperSU.html ) . though you can't flash any custom recoveries on OC1 . i hope if this is any help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GamerXavier:
Kingroot is your only choice right now for any option. Desktop worked for my OC1 phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] amahi2001:
I'm having the same problem and I can't find anything that can help me to toggle 4g and I can't even root because I took the Ota update

---------- Post added at 01:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 AM ----------

anyway you can undo the of1 update?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fudplayers:
I've been trying to root my OC1 phone again but still no root. I do have USB debugging on, allow from unknown resources, connected as media device and it still won't root. When I failed at upgrading (thankfully a fail) to OF1 it messed up so I Odin flashed the full neutered tar to get me back at unroot OC1. When root failed with that I Odin flashed the OC1 downgrade tar, that didn't work. Now I Odin flashed the OC1 stock image and that hasn't worked either. I've downloaded,installed,uninstalled,rebooted the PC several times,etc etc and for some reason KingRoot just does not like my phone. I can't think of any other way of trying to get it to work. Normally it'll reach 57% and then that's it, it'll say no root.

Edit- I bought a different USB cable (I'm pretty positive that the one that came with the phone is working) and that didn't do anything but make my wallet a little lighter.

Hi,

If anyone has this variant of the Note 5, could they please go into the dialer and enter *#2263# and in Band Selection you'll see WCDMA and LTE and post the bands here. The I variant supports a lot, namely:

WCDMA: 2100, 900, 850, 1900

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] GrandAdmiral:
Is this update just to fix the Stage fright bug? Is there a fix I can use to avoid the OTA? I would seriously hate to have to go through the trouble of reflashing stock recovery, etc. just for this.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] ZehelSitchel:
My phones keeps trying to download it but I don't have stock recovery so I can't install it. : /
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] thinkhope:
Same here. I have everything set up & running smoothly and don't want to go through everything again.

Then again, it would serve as a refresher. ?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] jpeepers:
Does anyone have a link to the stock recovery? I can't find it anywhere.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] ZehelSitchel:
I was just looking for someone who had the recovery. I think this post has it.

Edit: I'll test in a few minutes when I have some time, since I'm currently at work.

Edit 2: Removed link. It was just the firmware, not the recovery.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] DanGeorges:
I got the update, and it worked just fine.

I noticed that the "do-not-disturb" feature is back - which surprised me.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] 350Rocket:
I got the update for stage fright. I'm stock and unrooted for now. Everything works fine still, didn't notice any changes.

I plan to stay stock until the phone is abandoned by HTC and needs an update.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] alteredlikeness:
So, has anyone found the 4.28.502.1 stock recovery image yet? I am in need of it also..
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
RUU for this update has been posted: http://dl3.htc.com.s3.amazonaws.com/application/RUU_M8_UL_L50_SENSE60_ATT_MR_Cingular_US_4.28.502.2_Radio_4.0.U605611%4050319A_40.45.C33065.00_F_release_446225_signed_2.exe

Those stuck unable to update by OTA can use this, as long as you don't mind losing your data (RUU

will

wipe the phone, including internal storage). RELOCKED bootloader required if s-on (and its been UNLOCKED).
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] DanGeorges:
Here's the one I grabbed from my current stock rom, which includes the latest update OTA from AT&T:

https://mega.nz/#!cI5Ama7L!dofleIjy1...GGhr4Xsuk3bgxY
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] ZehelSitchel:
That download requires a passcode. Can you share it, or link to the op that has it?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] DanGeorges:
Try this one:

https://mega.nz/#!cI5Ama7L!dofleIjy1mEgtSgHzfacIvncleF7GGGhr4Xsuk3bgxY

It seems to work for me now
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] ZehelSitchel:
Thank you DanGeorges! Hopefully I didn't alter anything else that will keep me from updating.

Edit: The update succeeded but it's stuck in a boot loop. Probably xposed framework causing issues. I didn't think to disable it before updating...

Edit 2: Thankfully I was able to reboot to the bootloader, fastboot to the twrp recovery image (without flashing recovery), and backup my data. I did have to RUU to get my phone working again. To ensure that it was my data partition that was the problem I flashed my backup without the data and it booted. As soon as I added data back it returned to the boot loop. So I'm restoring my data one application at a time...

Edit 3: On a side note, I now have every recovery from release to now. Backed up 4.28.502.2 yesterday so I wouldn't be in this predicament again.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] GrandAdmiral:
Here's the stock recovery I pulled from the latest update, just in case anyone is still having issues...

Hey guys so i just bought the note 5, i still own my note 4. And i think i will,stick with the note 5 but there us just a few questions i would like to ask those who are more knowledge than me.

1. Is it True if we root the device we Lose complete possibilities of samsung pay?(no way to revert)

2. In the xda app i have no way to press the menu, i have no physical menu nor the app shows 3 dot menu,

6.,can we add multiple fingers to finger print reader

I would greatly appreciate if somwone can help me answer this questions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] LaRosa217:
1. According to Samsung, this is the case

2. Try long pressing the back button

3. Don't know, haven't tried

4. Hold Power & Volume Down for 10 seconds

5. Don't know this either.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] egren58:
Su ks about the samsung pay.. i wonder this is due to knox tripping... also i tried long pressing but it goes back but than after it goes back two pages it opens the menu...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] flipq88:
Press and hold the recents key. It's been like that since the Note 4

Edit: Actually I just got the phone and the long press doesn't bring up the menu anymore, brings up multi window. Weird

Hey guys,

I have a device which i need to unlock (screen pattern lock).

I have no details regarding it's google account/PIN or any other method that allows unlocking it without using the pattern.

I tried downloading aroma file manager that allows access to the password file and delete it, but when i tried to install the aroma manager (through recovery, from an sd card) i keep getting these errors:

e: footer is wrong

e: signature verification failed

is there any way to solve this?

i can't access the device, so i can't enable debugging mode and things like that...is there any solution, besides wiping everything back to factory settings?

thanks!

I'm currently on another 5.1.1 Rom but 5.0.2 base. So I should use odin and update that to the T-Mobile 7/1 (5.1.1 firmware. Then root and flash the Rom? Not sure if I need to update the bootloader and Twrp.
