I used towelroot on my galaxy s5, but I think I need to have cwm or twrp installed as well and I don't know how, I'm new at this. First time rooting a phone and I really need some help with this. I want to install custom roms. All I've done so far is get root access and downloaded apps like titanium and super user, but I honestly don't know what they are for. Any advice is much appreciated.
Ok first off have you checked to see if you have full root access by using a root checking app? if not try this one to check : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck . If you have full root access and you want to go straight ahead to flashing a recovery then download an app called Rom manager to flash CWM on your device (Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager ) then you choose the flash CWM and choose your phone modle. then it downloads and installs. after it tells you its installed then reboot in recovery either using the "reboot" button in the app or using the default button sequence. this is just to confirm CWM has installed properly. To use CWM you use your power button to confirm action or choose action, and volume keys to move around. once you confirmed CWM has been installed choose the "reboot" option

Thanks for the reply. Yes I have confirmed that it's rooted, and I tried the method you described to install cwm, but when it reboots it says error, invalid signature, or something like that. And then I just have to reboot like normal? Do you know what can be causing this problem?
Did you make sure you confirmed your phone model and let it install? like so?

Yes, I chose galaxy s5, it downloads, then I hit reboot, and it doesn't work.
First off have you granted superuser permissions to the app? thats probably the issue.

You might be right, how do I do this. Also the super user I downloaded asks me if I want to disable Knox, should I do this?
When you used towelroot wasnt superuser already installed as a part of the root procces?

No it wasn't
Hmm ok then hmm, dont disable knox and continue with the superuser app, try to post screenshots also, they help figure it out

Hi everyone. I searched the forums and couldnt find an answer to this question.
My friend brought over his captivate to update on my PC (since his wouldnt recognize his Captivate). He was running rooted stock. I updated and he wanted to root again so we are trying to root using SuperOneClick v1.7. We run SuperOneClick and it says it was successful. Superuser is listed in the apps. Whenever we try to run a app that requires root access (Titanium Backup, Screen Shot IT) it was that they can not acquire root privileges. Can anyone tell me what we might be doing wrong? I appreciate any help.
Did you reboot after rooting?

You shouldn't have to install su. If I were you I'd run through the root process again, and I mean redownload the files again and check for proper adb & driver setup.
Edit: Actually first open up super user and see if Rom manager has been allowed. Also, can you boot into recovery?

Superuser is blank nothing is there and I can not reboot in to recovery

Were you using the Three click root method or the manual ADB root method?
Sounds like you didn't fully root. I recommend you root again using this method:

But before that to ensure you have adb setup, download and install this:

Download Busybox, install, reboot, then see if all is well.
I agree with getting busybox off the market, but that shouldn't stop you from getting CWR to install, but you may need it for other apps that require it. I had the exact same problems when I rooted and I just restarted my phone 3-4 times and it worked...
I tried busy box I tried everything I could think of

I'm trying to root the samsung galaxy s 4g. I used SuperOneClick to do so. I tested to ensure it was rooted with root check etc and it is. I downloaded ROM Manager and installed the clockworkMod for my phone. When I attempt to back up current ROM it reboots and leaves me at Appling Multi-CSC and the options to reboot etc and I reboot with nothing happening. The phone works fine after words. Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks.
Lol rom manager
Don't install ROM manager. It doesn't work for our phone. Search aroubd in here for cwm final or something like that.

There are many pre-rooted roms available for Odin flashing.

I'm at a loss here. Chances are it's something simple that i'm missing but I'll ask here while I scan over everything. I'm trying to root my Galaxy Note 10.1 n8013 model and have carefully looked at guides for it.
CF-Auto-Root-p4notewifi-p4notewifiue-gtn8013 being flashed in Odin goes successfully and I see the super user app in my apps drawer after it restarts. I downloaded rootchecker from the market and it returns that I am not rooted and disappeared. I then downloaded the zip to flash in my recovery twrp and it said successful only to have it repeat on rootcheck.
i've done this process about five times now and no luck. It keeps saying google blocks rooted apps. any suggestions?

Not really shure what is going on... but, first of all open super su and make sure it doesn't need a binary update.
Secondly try to use a root app and see what happens, try with titanium backup for instance.
If none of that methods work try zedomax rooting metod - http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...-galaxy-note-10-1-easiest-methodcwmmethod-2/#
Make sure to do a backup before flashing any thing, just in case

Make sure auto-reboot is not checked when using odin. I believe if it is check root is lost on reboot.

Ok so, i successfully installed the rom after wiping EVERYTHING . So now i turn it on and then it shows two messages: (error1) unfortunately, the procces com.google.process.gapps has stopped (error2) unfortunately, setup wizard has stopped.
there is no way to the home screen but i found a way to the settings. i can control all settings. how do i reinstall the old version backup.
also i do have a copy of it on my sd card
there is no lockscreen.
I hope i explained it right.
Also when i try to boot into recovery it boots into s/w upgrade
I think you may have used the wrong gapps package. I think to get into recovery you hold volume up and power, but I don't remember for sure and I don't have this phone anymore..
