[Q] Still can not root Sprint Galaxy S5 on 4.4.4

I have been trying for hours to root a Sprint Galaxy S5 on 4.4.4. I get into download mode and use oden 3.09 to load the NE5 kernel but after I click on file and then AP then find the kernel then hit start nothing happens. There is quite a few different NE5 kernels and so many different ways to use odin I am stumped.
I have attached a pic of what I see in download mode. Can someone tell me if it is correct.
It is a refurbished replacement phone.

Just wondering if you are worried about tripping the Knox counter or not? If not, it's pretty simple.

Don't care about knox.

All you need is to flash a custom recovery in Odin, then flash a superuser zip in recovery, or download cf auto root.

I used cf on my first S5 to gain root. I found a video using cf auto root for the S5 but the comments say it does not work on 4.4.4.

Here are the files I used

Unzip it, use the tar file to get your recovery, then flash the superuser zip. Good to go.

Thanks for the reply. I found a video on how to get into download mode and when I do that it does NOT look like what is in the video. I believe that might be my problem.
When I hold down vol up, power, menu it says recovery booting. then looks like whats in the picture I posted. It says manual mode at the bottom. Is this download mode?

I never even noticed that! Lol. Volume down, instead of up

Sorry about that, I should have noticed from the pic you posted, lol

My bad I meant I push vol up...power...menu.

You need to hold volume down, down for download mode
---------- Post added at 04:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:04 PM ----------
Volume down, power, home button

That was it.....Holy Crap. Somewhere I read vol up and kept doing that. Thanks again for your help. Much appreciated.

No worries

Based on the information you gave in another post, I believe your new micro SD is screwed up. Replace your micro SD and see if that helps with updating recovery and CM.

Troll?

I don't think SD card has anything to do with a recovery. Recoveries are flashed to the phones partition. Not an SD card

Now that you said it, I am stuck with CM 12.1 and want to go back to stock. I think I tried everything out there on this website to get it back but I cannot flash stock ROM successfully. Any ideas on how I get to my stock AT&T 2.3.5 ROM? I have TWRP 2.8.6.1 recovery up and running smoothly and can connect using fastboot/adb (although intermittently because asus hardware of my pc intermittently acts up and refuses to detect my inspire). Many thanks!

First off you have to lock your boot loader then you can run the latest ruu

You won't lose s off when you run this..to have phone be seen by PC (with the 5.0 android version you have) you must use SDK. Make sure your SDK is updated to 5.0+ versions. After that,to access bootloader,you must open platform tools folder in SDK and hold shift,right click mouse and choose open cmd here...cmd window "fastboot devices" if PC sees it,run ruu

People tend to misunderstand that you can use SDK to access your phone. Especially if the computer does not see the devices drivers

Once your device is back to stock, you can always unlock the bootloader again with HTC dev website

aaarrggh.. stupid me. I should've thought about locking the device. This is what happens with inexperience and jumping bandwagon in the middle. anyways. I rolled back now thankfully. Many thanks!! I have s-on so i dont think that matters. I don't think i will go through htcdev for unlocking it again because the whole point behind upgrading to 5.1.1 CWM was to use hangouts and dialer function. that is not working, so i guess i will just patiently wait for google to support GB (UNLESS YOU HAVE A BETTER SUGGESTION?????)

Development for Gingerbread has stopped if you want a decent ROM, try Cream Sandwich

Can you suggest a ROM and the link that I can download it from? I am hoping I can use Hangouts Dialer on ICS given it is 4.0+ ROM. If you know it won't run Hangouts Dialer, I dont want to even bother. Many thanks!

[Q] Stuck in stock recovery with no firmware. PLEASE HELP!

So I was rooted with pingpongroot for a while. My phone started acting buggy and I decided to factory reset (via the settings menu in android). It failed ("dm-verity verification failed"), so I boneheadedly clicked Wipe data/factory reset in recovery, and immediately realizied what I'd done. So now I'm stuck in recovery with no firmware (I think). I can actually boot the phone but it just loads the setup wizard and I cant get out of that app. Cant even expand notifications or anything.
Can someone please guide me how to load a rom onto my phone?

You will want to download the stock firmware on your pc or you might be able to use Kies recovery to do it also.

Can you tell me, once I get the file on my device, how would I flash it? Would it be in recovery > install from ADB? Or maybe Install from external storage?

Well if you were on pc it would be you connecting your phone to the pc and it would be a simple process of letting it's do its own thing. I'm not sure fimilar with a way for you to flash a stock firmware on your phone. Just for the heck of it try to boot in safe mode, turn off your phone then press and h o ld volume down and the power button until you get a menu of normal boot etc. Go to safe mode and try to boot up and see what happens. I don't think it will help but it's worth a shot maybe you will be able to get somewhere. Otherwise maybe you have a friend that has a laptop or something that is a Windows pc?

Ok try this do a Google search for Samsung Smart Switch for Mac download. They have a Mac version that should be able to download flash the latest firmware.

On a mac you need Samsung Smart Switch, it will be able to fully restore your phone with the newest Firmware, you could also use the Verizon verizon upgrade assistant. I used the Verizon option and it hung at 66% for 2 1/2 hours, I ended up going to my local best buy, they had a samsung experience center, and they just reflashed it for me for free!

AT&T Tab 4 8" T337A Temp Root

This is a temp root and will be removed every hard boot.
I am not responsible if you break your device!
You have been warned.​
Knox is not tripped​
Hello All, I Have found a temp root process for those who have the AT&T Tab 4 with the kernel build Thu Aug 13 17:01:34 KST 2015.
Download Tab 4(Temp root), you will have 3 files. Odin 3.07, boot(LP_fix).tar and Kingroot-4.1.apk.
Install KingRoot on your tablet run and click Start Root. After the first time the process of checked for root will take longer as su will still be installed.
You will now have KingUser installed in /system/app/
When uninstalling bloatware, do it in one go.
When you have to reboot, reboot into download mode or you will get the AT&T unauthorized screen.
Use Odin to Flash PDA with the boot(LP_fix).tar, this will wipe the su links so the kernel doesn't see it and will boot. You will reboot automatically back to the launcher and will be able to reboot without using Odin.
Need help furthering permanent root as this is beyond my skills.
Update 1/27/16 14:35
Deleting all knox related apps is safe so far, setting build.prop ro.build.selinux=0 and a soft reboot seems to put kernel in permissive mode. Download a soft reboot app from the play store for reboots.
Don't let you tablet die and you don't have to keep doing this process!
Thanks to CocaFoca for the boot(LP_fix).tar.
Thanks for the dev(s) of KingRoot.

Does it work
Anyone try this yet?
---------- Post added at 12:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 AM ----------
Seems kind of weird no one is commenting on this, wonder if it works

I see this on a few different sites but no comments on any of them. I use my tab for work and can't afford to be Guinea pig and turn tab into hockey puck so have to wait a while I guess. If anyone can confirm that this works let us know please

Seeing as how the author wont even reply its not worth the risk to me

This works just no hard boots. No knox trips either. Still working on recovery methods maybe someone can help upload there build.prop.

Just search soft reboot in play store and it has red arrows in a circle motion. As long as you don't mess with build prop you will be fine.

on your notes on the 27th you put to do.... setting build.prop ro.build.selinux=0...... do I still do that? The last message you sent said as long as I dont mess with build prop I will be fine...

If you know what your doing you can change build.prop, do you need permissive kernel? All it does is disables SElinux for stuff like xsposed which isn't supported yet. Its aimed more to someone who will help farther to permanent root. The build prop is really good for this device.

I cant get that odin to open will 3.09 work? I already have that one installed

dumb question, I want viper4android and most say to flash in custom recovery. Can I still go into stock recovery without screwing things up? Then if I can I would have to go into download and flash through odin and then reroot right?

No custom recovery yet as I was told bootloader is locked, until someone confirms custom recovery works in am staying away as there's no Odin firmware and I need warranty. Yes Odin 3.09 will work but it will remove root really no need unless a hard reboot is needed your your tablet dies. Just keep with soft reboots. As for viper I would stay away soundalive is way better. Stock recovery will not work.

Better than viper4android? I highly doubt that. Don't think that is possible

First, just want to say thanks for sharing this info & zip. It brought my tab back from the dead after i rooted. (initially i was unaware it had a locked bootloader until after i rooted). I just have a cpl questions maybe someone in here can answer.
1. Has anyone tried using Flashify or Root Rashr to flash the boot_LP_fix.tar before powering off? I personally have never used either app so i dont know if either can flash .tar files. I know Mobile Odin would probably work, buy it doesn't support LP. 2. Has anyone installed busbox? 3. Do any of the "Hide Root" type apps function in such a way as to let the tab reboot? Those were just a few questions i had about this. Thanks for any info.

Hide root does not work has to do with the kernel checking for root or sumlinks, busy box installs and works but no idea on flashify.

Thanks. Appreciate the info. Im only looking for a way to safely power down bcuz about 2 or 3 times a week my tab doesnt get plugged I into a charged so it gets shut off. My girlfriends mother & son play with it & use it to stream movies. It would be great if there was a functional equivalent of Mobile Odin Pro so when i was done busing it i vould simply flash the tar. file so it would boot. Maybe ill do a little experimenting & see what happens. Thanks again

Can someone with a rooted SM-T337A do a system dump with these files included modem.bin, NON-HLOS.bin, recovery.img, a cache dump, and the PIT file??? Please

Thanks worked

I think I dun goofed :c. Was working fine, then I had to reboot, flashed the .tar, but I think I was a second late on catching it, because now it doesn't boot :c Hangs on ATT screen. HEEELP :C

Does anyone have a tar file for the t337a?
