** Sprint S5 ** TOWELROOT (v3) - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can ANYONE please let me know if it's possible to Towelroot the Samsung S5 for Sprint using this method.
* I know it will work for the S4:
* Download latest towelroot (v3), click the title 3 times, enter "1337 0 1 7380 4 0". Click "Make it rain".
ANY HELP is much appreciated.
Thank you!!!

SuperSu from PlayStore installed too?

Yes it is possible. I have done it my self. After that just install SU from the playstore

I actually just did it last night. I didn't have to make any modifications to towelroot's modstrings, it just worked right from the download. I ended up having to install SuperSU's APK manually (not from the play store), but besides that it was as simple as can be.

Did it trip the Knox Warranty void?

To flash a rom you will need to install a custom recovery which will trip the Knox counter.

ROOT on 4.4.2

I take no credit for the following:
I successfully root with towelroot @ http://towelroot.com/.
The site looked sketch but I did some research and the guy is from XDA and designed it for the s5's. But I took the chance and it works!!! Screen shoot attached.
(I know the screen shot doesn't provide 100% proof, but its the best I can do at the moment)
Good luck
This root Method doenst seem to work if your kernely is < June 2 2014. Look in the kernel build in your device settings and if its before June, then I dont think the root method will work for you.
I got a n9005 bought in italy.

Just rooted my SM-N9005 (kernel version: 3.4.0-1168347) successfully using TowelRoot.
KNOX-status: 0x0 and device-status: official.
Just rooted my Note 3 is 4.4.2 with stock ND3 firmware using towelroot by @geohot. And it didn't trip KNOX.

Very excited to hear this... Will wait a little longer for proof it works as am running N9005DXUENE4
When it comes to rooting, does the ROM capacity of the phone matter?
Most Note3 are 32GB, unfortunately, mine is the dreaded 16GB Hong Kong version, so I wanna know whether it would work or will the root exploit need to be rewritten to be compatible with the 16GB version.
Can anyone confirm device encryption can be used after root ?
just tried on a n900w8.... didn't work
wow its work
really work thanks
Did not work on my N9005 (ENB1).
Am i doing this right? After 'making it ra1n' and reboot, do i have to flash SuperSU or does towelroot fix su for me? Root Checker says i am not rooted.
Same at me. No root.

Install app, make it ra1n, it will reboot in 15 seconds, install root checker. And thats it, no need for SuperSu app.
Works well
I have root
On the latest firmware of the netherlands
Knox didnt trip
Nd3 firmware
It works on my n9005, no brand Italy, latest firmware.

Admitly im an idiot who was in to much of a hurry to get root.
IT worked on my 9005 international.
Download apk , install , reboots in 15 and ... youre rooted without tripping knox.
If apk is clean then i'll probably donate .
Sincerely impressed.

[MOD] Hotspot Native Enabled - Verizon - S6(Rooted) - OC3/OE2

For those that have done root. Verizon Galaxy S6- G920VVRU1AOC3/G920VVRU1AOE2 Only!!!
Differnet phones can have different frameworks. Do not attempt to flash this on a different phone unless you want to possible have to ODIN Back to stock.
This will only work if...
1. You have root on Verizon S6 - G920VVRU1AOC3/G920VVRU1AOE2
2. You have @Chainfire- Flashfire app installed so you can flash this zip file. Located here.....
I have included stock framework-res flashable if you want to go back..
Galaxy S6 Phone OnlyG920VVRU1AOC3:
Flashable HotSpot (Galaxy S6-G920VVRU1AOC3)
Flashable Revert to Stock Framework
Galaxy S6 Phone OnlyG920VVRU1AOE2:
Flashable HotSpot (Galaxy S6-G920VVRU1AOE2)
Flashable Revert to Stock Framework
Not responsibile for, you if you flash on something other than what I built this for. And if you do flash it on said device,then I am still not respondsible as this is all a risk always.. 100% time. Always a risk...
Good job! Thanks
Of all the mods I was hoping for, this is easily #1. You rock Gun! Now to read up on this flashfire stuff... guess I may as well get used to not having an unlocked BL anymore.

Thanks for this~ Seems to be working, I don't have another wifi device at work to test it.
Just a quick question, if I were to go back to stock would I have to flash to stock framework and then flash the hotspot file again or just flash the stock framework?

VZW GS6 Edge Help?!
I have the VZW GS6 Edge, however my device is G925VVRU1AOC3. Any chance of getting support with this? Or possibly the instructions to remove the tether check. I have Flashfire so would it be possible to "backup" the partition you modified and change with your instructions? Thanks for any feedback.

That's just the stock framework, you only need to flash the hotspot file. I think gun put it there to test if flash fire works on your device. Just a guess.

[ROOT]Root Note 3 Neo Sm N750 Indain &amp; N7505 European [Knox 0×0]

I successfully rooted indian note 3 neo N750 without tripping knox to 1 and other guy name Himming he also rooted his phone N7505 European without tripping knox to 0
Steps
1 . Just download kingroot From the link below and install it
2 . disable Ur lock screen to none......
3 . then open king root and touch start
It will take two min to root
Note . Your internet should be on
Try at your own risk
busy box will change the system from official to custom.
If you want to have knox on 0x0 don't flash any recovery.
Installing any custom recovery will change knox to 0x1. So don't try installing any recovery

I don't know much about the note series, still you can give a go. When i tested with Note 3 (Running Cyanogen 13) it failed.
It works well with -
S4 [ Stock ROM]
S5 [ TWRP Recovery ]
J5 & J7 [ Not yet tested, but supposed to run]
Let me know if it worked on Note 2.
I'm running custom 5.0.1 pure stock base for N9005. Will give it try when I go home.

I am sorry @gencho81 i thought you were using Note 2.
Anyways, you will lose the system partition completely and even the efs partition.
If you are running Note 2 , try it.
If Note 3, DONT GO FOR IT.

No
So if we are running custom rom with root and Busybox and we use the app it will remove Knox sdk and reset Knox readings. But what will happen if after using the app and assume Knox bit is 0 we flash stock rom. After flashing stock rom it will add again Knox sdk and maybe the readings before your app (Knox bit 1).

Yes it will add knox sdk and mess with everything. But if you use the app again, you can reset the counter (if device is supported) easily.

but even if stock rom trip it again what's the point of doing it on first place?
To use it you need root>to have root you must have custom recovery>to have custom recovery means Knox bit set up to 1.
Here is the question-after flashing complete stock rom and use the app. If you unroot it, remove Busybox and flash back stock recovery what will happen with Knox bit.
Second- why if working on s5 it's not working on Note? can you fix it?
As we know from before Knox bit is secure bootloader related. It was reset on Exynos Note 3 with service bootloader flash. What is actuality your app doing?
