Yes, you need to pay the $3.99. Even if one makes an apk using a tool, it still will not work unless downloaded from the play store. Once you pay you can download it any time you want to on each try.

Just remember that if you plan to go to OF3 that you do NOT reboot after binaries are updated. Just go right to FF and flash. I lost root if I rebooted in OI5.

Guess I am a bit late. I was reading from page 36 forward.

I guess this was kind of a big thing for people who took any LP or MM OTA. I do understand. Root is great. I cannot live without root for many reasons or with Stock for more reasons...LOL. I wonder if KingRoot will ever be able to root MM for our phones? But then someone would have to make a rom. Our phones are still good, but old and out of cycle. It was lucky they made MM for them. Our BL is a big problem because it does not allow a custom kernel to be flashed, among other things. MM was really good for half a day. Wifi calling/sms and longer battery life because if you are near wifi, you can put the phone in Airplane mode and save a lot of battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] taquanglam181:
Yesterday it was working great. Today I've tried more times and Kingroot won't root IO5. You can help me? Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] shawn2323:
I'm having a simular problem I'm on 0f3 rooted fine but phone was acting funny so I deleted kingroot and factory reset and last night tried to root again but it keeps failing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
What does that mean, "Deleted Kingroot"? Kingroot gets deleted when you run SuperSu-Me. Also why would you do a factory reset? I've never ever done one. My phone is working exactly the same using TMS5 as it always was. I do not understand. Maybe because I do not use stock OF3. All I did was restore my TMS5 backup with FF as soon as I got on OF3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] PadsPCB:
I am having the same problem. I was able to root once, in a single run of KingRoot 4.8.1, but had to reflash G900AUCU4COI5_ATT4COI5 and KingRoot is not working anymore.

It usually reboots on 16%, bot no more. Did KingRoot cleaned strategy?

Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] shawn2323:
Kingroot has the option to remove I did the factory reset because the phone was acting Strange, but now when I try to root Now it say no strategy found and using a root checker showing I'm not rooted, tho its showing custom when I boot the phone. I'm not sure what to do go to BB and have them re flash 0f3 if possible or do I attempt flashing to 0i5 and hope it roots from there?

To clarify I started on 0f3. So i rooted my phone 2 days ago but it acted weird and I didn't have 3.99 for super sum so I removed kingroot using the in app removal option then I factory reset my phone now I can't re root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] IJoxer:
Hey [MENTION=7597286]AptLogic[/MENTION], you should add Xtrestolite to the verified ROM list.

And what's all this about people not being able to root, if you have the same versions used before, nothing should have changed. Make sure you're using the exact version of KingRoot in the guide, and follow the steps precisely.

Also, just tested myself on the 870. Upgraded up to MM, Odined back to OF3, KingRooted, supersumed, then FFed to Xtrestolite. Everything went as smooth as before??

---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:39 PM ----------

Yea, you need to supersume right after KingRoot, that's half the exploit. I'd Odin back to OI5 with the tarball, then try again. KingRoot, then supersume. If you can't pay for supersume, you're out of luck. First of all, most versions you'll find googling will be malware, and they still won't work like the official supersume, since supersume uses a verification that its been paid for.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
I came back to say exactly that. I agree and also I suggest if you are going to stay on rooted OF3, that after you get it setup, you also backup with FF so just in case something happens again, you can go back to OI5, root, go to OF3 and then you can restore your backup.

Oh, is this happening on a 870? I know nothing about those...LOL.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] IJoxer:
No, I'm on the 870, but he's on the 900. However, nearly everything is identical, except for the version numbers. I flash 900 Roms on my 870 like clockwork and have never had a hiccup, except needing to flash the Active Key fix, which I normally skip because I don't use it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] DejaVuAgain:
re: Kingroot problems ...

Kingroot 4.81 seems to be quite aggressive about not wanting to be replaced by SuperSU.

I noticed that if WIFI is enabled during rooting, that the application auto-updates immediately (see the Kingroot settings).

That then precludes installing SuperSU (in the same way that v5 does).

Perhaps this is the reason some people are having problems rooting ...

EDIT: when I referred to installing SuperSU, that is of course by using SuperSUme
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Runicglobe:
The issue we are having is no matter what version of King root I use, it won't root the 5.1.1 OI5, I'm sure if we could get the odin files to downgrade to 5.0 it would probably work. Like the oc4 update? Or something along those lines. And people having issues with the supersume. You can find the supersume 6.0 on Google that will work without paying 3.99. Anything higher is usually malware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
IDK, it works for me as I have been stating and many others. Every time. Also I always go to airplane mode right after setup. Kingroot requires a connection so I just bring up my wifi. No problems.

Again:

Odin OI5

setup phone

install and run Kingroot 4.81. It will reboot itself before 20 seconds on the clock in the app. When it comes back completely up, Kingroot will start the process again and be rooted. Do not bother to do the Optimize function.

Run PAY VERSION of SuperSU-me. 2 stage process. Update binaries without rebooting

Install FF and flash OF3.

Now I do not stay on OI5 and when I was playing, I did reboot the rooted OI5 and I lost root, but I do not need a rooted OI5.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] shawn2323:
I've been on of3 since last year and it rooted it the first time I tried it with no problem, the problem only occurred when I remove kingroot and factory reset so you think updating to OI5 my clear it and I can redo root? I'm not wanting to get stuck with a higher firmware it doesn't make any sense why it worked the other day and now it's stuck saying root failed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] IJoxer:
Like I said, reflash the OI5 tarball with Odin, that'll start you off fresh. Then use KingRoot, and after you're rooted, use supersume to obtain SuperSU and it'll also remove kingroot for you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
No version of Kingroot is working for me at this point... I have no idea what it is doing but it looks like a different root method
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] IJoxer:
How could it possibly be a different root method if you're using the same app? Unless it uses network for whatever reason, try disabling Networking, then run KingRoot.

---------- Post added at 07:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 PM ----------

Also, are you trying from a fresh tarball flash?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Runicglobe:
I'm having the same issue. Another question, if you flash the OI5 tarball, does it make the firmware official again? I connected to WiFi and it's trying to update my firmware? And it does use the network to get the root method off of KingRoot servers. They must have changed it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] IJoxer:
Yes, the flash will make it official, and if you have service, then it'll want you to update. As for KingRoot, I guess I didn't realize it uses network to pull the root method, I feel it kind of defeats the purpose of different versions, as they could simply change the files server-side.

Unless you're certain, I'd give KingRoot a try with networking disabled. I was able to use this same method but for the 870 only hours ago, same KingRoot version mentioned, and with Wi-Fi enabled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] wforider:
system now showing official and i cant get KR to work either and tested a least 10x earlier this week and it rooted every time now it fails every time
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] PadsPCB:
No moore rooting, those who got it stay away of reflash
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] johnkirchner:
This is my luck, my phone was acting up so I reset it and had an issue with that so I reflashed and now it will not root. FML!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] alexche7717:
IDEA

Well, since there is no root from KR, how about we make a flashable odin backup of a rooted OS and we share it?

Is it possible?

:confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] NavSad:

Guess I am to late....

Help clarify for a newbie. I have a At&T S5 G900A on 5.1.1 G900AUCU4C0I5 was looking to Root and Rom. I have been reading up before doing it (Phone is a virgin) and I have not Rooted or Romed in 2 years. (Bricked my S3 had to upgrade promised wife wouldn't until it was 2 years old LOL But my S3 is working now)

Anyways. I have been reading and following this thread and now it says not possible. Any Chance I have read something wrong?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
Who knows...LOL. Do you know whose fault this all is? IT'S GOOGLEY, SHAMSUNG AND CRAPPY ATT, THATS WHO!!! The first two actually screwed Android up and ATT finished the job by locking their BL's down!

I am glad I kept reading this thread. I would absolutely scream if I could not get back to my Rooted Custom Rom TMS5...

When I first tried it, I odin'd OI5 just to see if I could get back to TMS5. It worked and then I tried PH4 and it worked and then that was a terrifying experiment (except the wifi calling/sms) and I again did what I did the first time and it worked fine. Maybe it works for me because I restored my TMS5 FF backup right after getting to OF3.

IDK, but I am not trying again to change my phone BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING GOOD TO CHANGE IT TO...LOLOLOLOLOL.

I hope everyone whos phone is messed up gets it to work. I never had an OC4 tarball (you could not root it anyway). Maybe people who are having trouble can see if they can Odin NCE, towel root and flash one of the GREAT OC4 roms out there.

BEFORE I EVEN LOOK BELOW, THINKING ABOUT IT, I DOUBT IF THE OI5 BL WOULD ALLOW DOWNGRADING TO NCE...BUT WHO THOUGHT THE MM BL WOULD ALLOW A DOWNGRADE TO LP? NOW TO CHECK THE RESPONSES BELOW...

I must have worse luck. The s5 just bought had screen that was popping out so returned it. Bought another one that was supposed to be new but wasn't. Now the back button is activating on it own. It's like phantom back button being constantly pressed. Is this common issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Never heard an issue like THAT before lol... that is definitely not common. If possible just get a refund and buy a used OnePlus or a Xiamomi Redmi.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] mario24601:
Yeah Ill get a refund, atleast ill try. I really like the s5...want to keep it a 5 inch or smaller. Choices now are go with another s5, give the straight talk version a try, atleast ill get an actual new phone. Or new z3 compact, or z5 compact. Or just bit the bullet and get a new s7 g930f version or 5 in pixel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
Based on my experiences I will probably never buy a Samsung device again. I've already replaced everything but the S5 (my computers are strictly Dell, monitors are Dell and Lenovo with the exception of one NEC, TP-Link networking and Smart Home, and Amazon tablets and Echo). With the way things are going with Samsung's recalls and their rising political issues over in South Korea, and their astronomical flagship device prices, I'm gonna be going over to OnePlus when this phone finally gives out. I need something I can use and develop on for a reasonable price, not an Android version of an iPhone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] mario24601:
Darn...maybe you are right...I should just get a OP! Too many choices...looking at 3T reviews now!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
I've taken a look at them already. The specs are good, the camera is as good (or better than) an iPhone 7, and half the price of both the iPhone 7 and the S7. And the development options for it are endless...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Ra3zor0:
I know it probably can't, but is there a possibility of a PH4 being able to root? Only reason I'm rooting is cause I need to transfer wifi passwords to my new phone. What I'm afraid of is I'm going to have to downgrade, which will wipe all my data, and then root which is no good. Any chance of rooting a PH4?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:
No sorry we seem to be out of luck. But you should be able to transfer WiFi passwords using Tap and Go when you set up the new phone, or via restoring a Google Backup, which also saves WiFi passwords
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Ra3zor0:
Do you have proof that you have root on your PH4 baseband cause mine has PH4 and I want to root

---------- Post added at 04:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 AM ----------

For some reason tap and go didn't work. The new phone is a Oneplus 3t and for some reason nothing happened when I put the phones together. Also the google thing doesn't seem to be backing up the passwords even though I turned it on
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] AptLogic:

Also the root method he used no longer works on our devices unfortunately. I will try to get in touch with the Kingroot people tomorrow and let them know.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
Package Disabler Pro works fine. It costs $1.49. When I did go to PH4 (UNROOTED OF COURSE) I also bought the app and used it for the very short time I was on Stock 6.0.1. It brings up a list and you can check them off and they will be disabled. Just like that. They changed the App Manager in MM. I could not find the RUNNING apps screen. They probably moved them somewhere else for some strange reason.

---------- Post added 28th December 2016 at 12:25 AM ---------- Previous post was 27th December 2016 at 11:58 PM ----------

I too would like you to try to find out why Kingroot 4.81 does not work anymore. I do not know this for a fact and I will not try it again since I am where I want to be on TMS5. Do they change the program when connected since the app needs to be connected? That would be odd maybe. It is no big deal for people on MM to try this and then when it did not work they could go back to MM, but in my case, if I got stuck having to go to and stay on STOCK MM, I would really be upset. I love my phone and have been resigned to it being on TMS5. I just wanted to see the wifi calling/sms work with a way to go back. I have a great theme and its dark everywhere and no stupid stock messages come up and I got a BIG CLEAR button...LOL...and has VIPER and more. I have been on DK/XDK, Alliance (for a while when LP came out and TMS5 was not good enough yet) and TMS5 since 10/2014 when I rooted my G900A with Towel Root. It is sad what G+S+A have done to our phones. It was lucky the devs were even able to develop decent roms for 5.0 to begin with. The locked BL preventing easy rooting and custom kernels and what Samsung did with ART in LP really threw a monkey wrench in the works.

So I spent $3.99 + $1.49 for some fun hours. And terrifying ones too. I do not know why my phone is acting fine, just as it always has since 07/2015 on TMS5, after going to OI5, rooting, going to OF3 then restoring my FF TMS5 backup.

I am just very happy that it is. I will be watching the thread for some answers.

FINALLY I JUST HOPE I NEVER HAVE TO CLEAN THE COBWEBS OUT OF THE PHONE BY GOING BACK TO NCE AND COMING FORWARD, BECAUSE NOW IT PROBABLY CANNOT BE DOWNGRADED TO NCE. I HAVE NOT DONE THAT FOR ABOUT 18 MONTHS, NO NEED TO AND I HOPE THERE WON'T BE ONE...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] johnkirchner:
Just tried King Root again (both 4.8.1 and the latest) and they both state that there are no exploits for G900A at all and it will not let you even try it anymore. It just goes to a "request" screen. They have to be controlling this from the server side since both versions are now not even letting you attempt the root exploits.

You can also try Debloater from the link below. It may not be able to disable/remove all of it but it will "hide" it from your app drawer.

alliance

I flashed the alliance rom and I mostly like it except that I have to be on wifi, my network data is not working. Yes, it is turned on...

Also, the battery seems to die very quickly.

I want to know if I flash Phoenix rom what else is needed besides just downloading, saving on phone, install using flashfire... do I do a wipe like I did to install Alliance?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
This is definitely not a recommended way of attaining root where the actual coding from an app is loaded from a server. VERY BAD. Screwing up peoples phones is a no-no. Many people who have this phone can obviously not afford to go to a better one or they would have one...or they like their custom rom...like me! Just happy I got my MM test in and went back before they did this. Now if anything happens to a phone that went to "rooted OI5" , then it may not be able to attain root anymore, if root is lost. I definitely would have never tried this knowing this could happen. Also I feel bad for the people who are now stuck on MM or on 5.1.1 when they thought they might be able to get a rooted phone.

I would like it if Kingroot put out an app that does not change and put our phone back in it. [MENTION=7597286]AptLogic[/MENTION] says he can talk to the devs. I hope so.

I was lucky this time...For now...

new issue, i restarted my phone and now its stuck at the alliance boot image ???? was working fine before
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
Alliance is an old rom and it has its problems. Most roms will do a wipe, but it does not hurt to do one in FF BEFORE the flash. Just do not wipe Internal storage or your sdcard (obviously...LOL). I tried the Phoenix rom, but I always go back to my TMS5 3.0. Unfortunately since the Dev left, the final touches to it were not incorporated into the final rom. Mine works well because I have all the fixes. The thread is really hard to follow at times and some things might not work right. Mostly it does, but I only use my phone for playing and when I am out, so I am not what one would consider a power user. Yes, maybe in what I know how to do, but not so much versed in all the apps people who depend on their phone do.

If anyone is interested in TMS5 3.0, I might be able to help them thru PM.:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] samccfl99:
Well that can be a problem if you cannot get it up to run FF and flash another rom or go back to rooted OF3. I have not tried to bring up Safestrap since I did this to my phone. That would be the other way to flash a rom. If you have to Odin OI5 back it seems now you cannot attain root, so you might as well go to MM. Someone else who knows more than me might be able to help. I only know how to recover my phone in a case like this by Odining the OA1 kernel and if SS is installed it would go to it on boot. Now I would be afraid to try. Not Happy. Another opinion, anyone out there?

This is some pickle...If there is something you need to ask me, PM me. I do not know if I could be of help though. I feel your pain.
