Hi all was hoping someone could help me, just got my Sprint S5 not too long ago I had an s3 before that I rooted but I was wondering the easiest way to root the s5 without tripping knox security and if in doing so will I also be able to access download booster....I'm really new to all this and when I rooted my s3 never flashed kernels or anything just used the quick root but I'm really interested in trying to learn as much as I can so if anyone can give me any advice it would be much appreciated and thank you in advance..and I picked the icon that most resembles my situation cause I'm a lil confused don't know what direction I'm going in lol....

As far as I know there is no way to root and not trip knox. Sprint version does not have download booster enabled so have to root in order to flash the mod to enable.
See the post HERE and also check the link at the bottom of the post for a list of available mods (incl. download booster)
Im rooted, I havent flashed a rom yet...do I need to be on a custom rom to flash the download booster?

I think try the 2.1 odexed stock version. Just keep in mind that flashing this mod can break things such as hotspot mod, etc. Might read through that thread to see what issues others have run into.

You can simply flash a recovery through Odin. Philz is what I recommend.

This week Verizon announced a promo to be to watch games on the NFL app from the Google Play Store. To my (unhappy) surprise I downloaded the app, opened it up and was faced with the popup saying error and the app only supports Verizon phones.
Currently the ROM used on the Galaxy S III is the Official AOKP JB Build 3. Looking like Verizon has snubbed the rooted user.
Anyone known of a work around or mod to be able to use the app? The promo is great (if running a non rooted device).

You need to go into a stock touchwiz Rom and download it. Backup with data on titanium backup. Load your AOSP/AOKP ROM and restore the app and data. Will work.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I came across the same issue with a few different ROMS. It depends on the Kernel. I'm currently running JellyWiz Hybrid RLS7.
The best way to get it and let's say GPS to work is to flash and go back to bone stock in Odin.
Set up your phone as you normally would. DL the NFL app and run it as normal...
Then root your device and it should work no problem.
maybe you can open up your build prop and change it to match a stock one

It's just actually in the build prop. There are a combination if build prop and supporting apps that are needed. I know in is the Verizon login agent, but I'm not sure on the others.

No idea.
It's probably an issue with your Google account. I would try erasing it completely and re-adding it. You could also try flashing a custom playstore or installing a different one to see if you can fix the problem.
It isn't rom related.

yeah bro. foxfi wireless tether works.
there is a free version and a paid version though.
there are 2 annoying things.
1 it's not free
2 it forces you to "lock" your phone with a password/pattern/or pin number.
So are any AOSP roms supported with safestrap? I'm looking at the download list and it's just modified TW roms.
My brother took the OTA, but is now interested in switching to AOSP and I wanted to make sure it was even possible.

I'm switching between Validus and Liquid Smooth. Both are very smooth with lots of customization. Both have very active G+ communities.
You can always root, install a custom recovery and try a ROM. Just backup your stock ROM and you can always switch back. Takes like maybe three minutes to reinstall a backup.

If you want the official update for kikat when it comes out, then find the official stock rom and keep in a safe place. When u hear that the update was released use titanium backup back up your apps, then flash the stock and it will say your device is offical and let you update. Once updated, go into download mode and flash twrp. Twrp will root your device. Once rooted, reinstall titanium backup, restore your apps. WHEN USING TITANIUM BACKUP ONLY BACKUP USER APPS AND DATA ONLY. DO NOT BACK UP SYSTEM APPS, it causes problems and makes things crash, its not pretty( I did it ). There you have it. run stock rooted with the newest official update. Of course you could just flash a custom kikat rom that would be easier.

I used to run inverted on my S3 all the time because of the battery saving it provided for the amoled display. Since this is a super lcd display, that's a none issue, and I'm trying to run everything white just because I can.
I'm still running stock because it's so quick. On my S3, stock touchwiz was so slow and buggy I had no choice but to install a new rom.
However, there are many more roms available in the international m8 forum correct? Is there a way to tell if they'll work with our phone? Or do they have to say it's specifically compatible with the Verizon variant? The last thing I want to do is flash something and have it missing the CDMA band needed to get data. Also would super CID basically allow flashing of any rom we wanted.

They'll say if they work for Verizon or not. SuperCID would allow you to flash any carrier Rom, but I doubt you would get data or anything, maybe 1x...that's more for like if you want to take your phone to t-mobile then you would be able to flash a tmobile Rom and be good to go (whether you get LTE or not on tmobile is a diff story).

I used to run inverted on my S3 all the time because of the battery saving it provided for the amoled display. Since this is a super lcd display, that's a none issue, and I'm trying to run everything white just because I can.
I'm still running stock because it's so quick. On my S3, stock touchwiz was so slow and buggy I had no choice but to install a new rom.
However, there are many more roms available in the international m8 forum correct? Is there a way to tell if they'll work with our phone? Or do they have to say it's specifically compatible with the Verizon variant? The last thing I want to do is flash something and have it missing the CDMA band needed to get data. Also would super CID basically allow flashing of any rom we wanted.

Yup, stock rooted. Love it. I don't usually flash too often anyway. Just want something as stable and bug free as possible. So I'm thinking I'll probably end up running bonestock or cleanrom. I'm also extremely intrigued by the gpe rom.
I'll start flashing soon, but I generally don't like flashing too often.

Are you on the old firmware or radios still? (Which I really hope you say yes as if so you can help out a lot of people by doing me a favor)?.....or have you updated to the new firmware 1.55.....myself I hate pretty much all google apps besides chrome an I don't really care for that just my backup browser so the gpe ROM is very well put together by @digitalhigh . I have flashed it just to see how it ran but google everything an no blinkfeed is a total bust for me..

Plus I ran bonestock for a while at 1st. I have tried all Roms an that is the best stock ROM he has lots of things enabled VZW hides. Only thing he is missing is eps mode but that is so easy to add via XML ...all you need to do its add another line for a quick setting tile like the rest of them an use value 30. Reboot an then your bone stock will have everything you need plus on the house teathering.

Nope, I don't have the original firmware.
I think my sister also updated hers.
Andy has done fantastic work on his roms since his S3 days. He does a great job adding in hidden features and keeping the rom as stock as possible. Really hope he continues developing for this device.

Why would you want to go backwards? Firewater issues?

No a lot of people r asking in my firmware/radios thread I started are asking for old radios cause they were stronger for them. With a pull from a phone that still has this we can make a flashable old radios. An some else wants the old firmware to create another safety net for everyone.

Got it, I think a friend of mine is upgrading soon, if he gets an m8 and it isn't updated out of the box I can pull it from that.

There should be a very small chance of brick, if any. But don't forget that if you make a backup, even if you brick your device, it will be no problem!

Yes, you'll need CWM, which stands for ClockworkMod. And no, you don't necessarily need root to get it, as it's really just a replacement for your current recovery mode, except it has more options.
Run a Google search with the terms "sph-l300 cwm". :good:

Cant find one that doesn't require root access.

@gezafisch, oops, you're right; nevermind CWM, for now. Instead, use this.

I followed that tutorial but when I test the adb, it says that the command is not recognized.
Usb debugging is on.
