This happened now it's the perfect thing I was waiting for and it happened in a perfect moment!

A lot of thanks to the very big Chainfire!!!

Merry Christmas to you all guys and of course a very happy and lovely new year!!

Peace & Love!!
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] :
Yes

To get v4a working

Install v4a which you downloaded from official thread

Download busybox and install the needed binaries and stuff

Download https://mega.nz/#!So4FSa5Q!x8ugxybfN5-c2mRv5p-qX_kwN4PceDWgpqX89ZCVjGs

And install se Linux mode changer

Push the audio policy files to system/etc and replace the old files. And now you can install v4a.

If you don't push the files you will get busybox failure upon install don't know what this means since you have busybox already installed .

Did anyone try to flash the file via ROM Toolbox?

I'm on holiday and want to root now ?

Many thanks to Chainfire you're a root Master ☺
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] NotGrump903:
Don't you need root for ROM Toolbox to work? I don't think it will work, but i can try out :D

Edit: It doesn't seem to work, only Roms with .zip extension seem to be supported. Maybe i missed something... I don't know

[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] :
No you didn't you need to flash this with pc with Odin else you will just end up looking on your screen and say oh. This didn't work :lurks away: this will only work if you enable developer option and then unlock OEM which also made me realize which I said that you need a unlock key for unlocking to a false statement

This is even a better OEM unlock than LG has on g4 but that's because they use fast boot and Samsung doesn't. Which probably make this the best/easiest "bootloader" unlock.

But root works fine some apps might struggle with where busybox is installed like online nandroid backup since by default it will be installed in su/bin but backup tool wants it in /xbin/ etc make sure to install busybox where it's needed :)
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] kaodd:
have probs with v4a, which player u r using?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] :
Install busybox to system/xbin/

Install v4a

Install se Linux mode changer once done grant supersu access and press permissive

Once done replace the two audio policy files in system/etc and set correct permission

Now open v4a and press install

Now it won't nag about busybox corrupt

Hope it helps :)

Yeah, I tried that, not working, for me at least. It's saying that the selinux needs to be enforced in order to load the the rest of the kernel. You need to disable something else too for it to work.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] lolotito:
What a pity!

I'm beginning to think I've made an error choosing and buying the s5 neo g903f or simply (I hope) or it's early yet for the development for this mobile. And I can't do it for myself beside I haven't time and knowledge's to do so. :mad::mad:

Could you please say if it worked and upload the tar file? And what version of odin you used?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] kultsi:
This one doesn't work, it needs root access to force permissive mode. We need some kind of way disabling selinux completely and probably knox too.

EDIT: And no, one cannot compile a kernel, with selinux completely disabled through menuconfig, or at least I couldn't, gave me a bunch of errors :P

Got root on adb

hi guys. i could compile a kernel with selinux not enforcing. i don't know if this works as on boot you can read 'kernel is not seandroid enforcing' in red on top of boot Logo...

i have also included adbd insecure binary into the kernel ramdisk so you can get root on adb.

i've got access to read in system partition but i stuck on remount system read/write. it gives me a 'operation not permitted'.

setenforce 0 in adb terminal does not work too..

i can give you the odin flashable boot.img to try it.

[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] docclox:
Hi Guys,

I'm new around here, so bear with me if say something stupid.

That said, from what Phil3759 said when he posted about kernel recompiles and from Chainfire's posts on the SuperSU development thread, it seems to me that you should be able to flash a non-enforcing kernel, and then flash SuperSU which should then be able to work.

It might need a modified selinux policy file as well, I'm not sure on that detail. Chainfire reckons you can get one from another (rooted) Samsung device, modify it and incorporate it into a boot image.

I should also add that I've not tried this myself as yet. My previous adventures in phone rooting haven't extended much beyond installing CyanogenMod on an S3, so I'm mainly lurking and watching.

SD Card

My new S5 Neo has a flaw.

The 128 GB card i bought is recognised but the device is not able to read nor write to it.

This is the card i bought:

micro-sd-card-128gb-class-10, bought at Bol.com

It works in the computer so listening to music stored on the card is possible but not if the card is placed in the S5 Neo.

I formatted the card several times on PC and on device but it won't work.

Anyone any idea.??

thnx in advance.

[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] Albayeah:
Yep i'll stay away from that till something "official" comes, but it's weird there isn't a cwm or twrp yet, i even found a twrp for a china phone that it's mother doesnt even know him, so for an s5 neo it should be easiest i guess..
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] Neoony:
Yeah, I think the exact same thing.

I know I had loads of apps already frozen, because I used Package disabler.

But I didnt know it also "uninstalled" some, not just freeze/disable them.

So yeah, I guess it was Package Disabler.

CF Auto-root does disable a few apps too, due to get rid of security warnings and notifications

Gesendet von meinem SM-G903F mit Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] Neoony:
Hmm, ok. Now I dont know.

I know that I most possibly disabled some of the things over Package disabler, that were shown as uninstalled in Titanium Backup.

So Iam quite confused what exactly did it.

I also had KNOX tripped and was able to disable warnings (all this before root), Iam just not sure if it was because of disabling some stuff over Package disabler, or just messing with OEM unlock and restarting phone with that restart few times which the notification/security settings requested.

Maybe it was both.

Probably disabled them over package disabler and then the root uninstalled them.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] NotGrump903:
CF has disabled these apps. I haven't disabled and uninstalled any apps by myself yet.

V4A is not compatible with Knox, just read it in Google+ XDA Community
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] lammy123:
ant should be OK to disable if you don't use any ant compatible sensors. Just Google ant+ .
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] :
Nope it isn't knox related

Using a note 3 with everything stock except recovery and supersu flashed will make v4a working. The issue lies in Samsungs new way to handle Selinx. Even with mode changer it won't change.

The kernel seems to prevent the change at any costs which is bad ? I always try to use the phone as stock as possible even with kernel but seems like this will be no go without a modified one ? anyway we can at least change kernel without recovery which is great just need a custom kernel ? and that area is nothing i am good at. Have to wait

More like lock down of Linux mode changer.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] NotGrump903:

Use this tool to repack your stock boot.img with compiled kernel: https://github.com/xiaolu/mkbootimg_tools

You're done to use SuperSU

No other way than a custom kernel for all 5.1.1 devices"

somebody did that ??

If you don't want to use Odin

what exactly should i do with the script, i have FX Explorer
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] :
Well since you don't have supersu binary you'll need to flash chainfire method with Odin

This is for people who want permissive kernel without loosing root after flash.

flash-boot-script

put it in root of sdcard

download boot-permissive-su

rename to boot.img

and execute the script

now you will have a permissive kernel with superuser ;)

all credits goes to [MENTION=751551]wobbler611[/MENTION] for permissive kernel and Chainfire for hes boot patching Odin files.

Enjoy ;)

now v4a works ;)
