Hello guys. I have a Galaxy S3 (Verizon). Specifically, a SCH-I535. It is running Android 4.3. It has been rooted before, when it had 4.2, but after I did the update, I still have the SU app, but I can't use it because im not rooted. (I think) So hypothetically, say I wanted to install CyanogenMod. Could I? If so, what version? I have Android 4.3. Is it still possible to root? Thanks for any help.

You can root 4.3 using saferoot, but you cannot flash CyanogenMod or any other AOSP based ROMs. You can only flash 4.3 Touchwiz ROMs using safestrap. You need to be on the ML1 version of 4.3, not the NC1 version. Everything you need to know can be found in the below linked thread:

Ok so my next question, how do I tell if I have NC1, or ML1? Also, will this void my warranty? It says Saferoot will not. Sorry, im such a noob.

Go to your about phone screen and look at your baseband version and build number and see what the last 3 characters are. And your warranty is only good for 1 year from the original date of purchase, which I would assume has long since passed. So I wouldn't worry about this voiding your warranty.

Ok thanks so much! I have rooted my phone after flashing ML1, and now I was wondering if I could install CWM Recovery? If so, how? Thanks for all the help.

Check out my first response to you in this thread. You cannot install any kind of custom recovery on ML1. Safestrap is basically your custom recovery. Click on the link in my first response and read up. In the thread I linked you will find a link about Safestrap and a bunch of information you will need.

Ok, so basically I installed Safestrap, Rooted, and all was well. Then I went and looked for some custom Touchwiz ROMs, and found this one.
CoolROM 8 Core Edition
I downloaded it, created a new ROM slot on Safestrap, flashed it to the phone with safestrap, then rebooted. First off, the Samsung logo that appears right when you turn on, with the open padlock, is gone. For a split second, a white line appears. Then it goes to the Safestrap, I hit continue, it does first boot like normal, and gets stuck on the samsung logo again. "The last one before android appears". I pulled battery, rebooted. Same as first time, except it booted into android. The setup appears, and now another problem pops up. I cant turn on WiFi. It says turned off, I press the toggle button, but it doesnt turn to the ON state. Please help! I really want to use CleanROM!

Look in the OP of the safestrap thread. Every time you flash a ROM though safestrap you have to also flash the kernel modules in the same flashing session in order for WiFi to work.

Omg thank you so much landshark,you have helped me so much. I now have a rooted S3 with Safestrap, and CleanROM 8.1. Everything is working fine. Now my final question(probably not), is there any possible way at all to unlock the bootloader on this thing? If not, is there anyone working on something like that? If not at all, that's ok. Im still satisfied with it so far. Thanks again. Also, on Safestrap, after I hit continue it has a kind of delay before the boot animation is shown(AKA it starts up). Is there any way to change this?

Not possible at all to unlock the bootloader, you are stuck with it. As far as I know, no one is working on trying to figure out a way to unlock the bootloader. All attempts at finding an exploit to unlock the bootloader have not had any success. The bootloader on the S4 was locked down in the same way before the S3, and that hasn't been cracked yet either.
As far as changing the delay on start up with safestrap, best to ask that question in the safestrap thread as I have never used safestrap and just read the thread to stay informed.
Hi! I'm new here... Hope I'm in the right place, but I've been having problems with my GS5. I rooted it using towelroot about 3 months ago which was successful, then a Verizon system software update was pushed and installed to my phone, and that somehow installed fine, but now root checker says my phone isn't rooted and towelroot says my phone isn't supported... For months now my phone has been trying to install the 4.4.4 update with no luck, when it reboots and is in the middle of installing with the little android dude with his chest open, it says 'error'. Has there been a fix or way around this? Any way I can completely factory wipe everything?

Verizon may of patched the towelroot exploit with the new update. Have you tried posting this in the VZW S5 forums?
From my CM11 S3
Towel root is dead for firmwares newer than June 2014. You can try chainfire for root. If t he 4.4.4 firmware isn't updating, try flashing with Odin.

So I've been trying my best to learn this stuff from reading EVERYTHING I can, but this is very difficult to get in to from no rooting experience. This Thread shows CM11 for 4.4.4 which I just assumed was an updated 4.4.2 meaning it worked since the thread doesn't say anywhere in the OP that you can't install on a locked bootloader. Is there some other obvious terminology that I'm missing? (realizing it's common knowledge to the community but I don't have this)
So it's very difficult for me discern what other ROM options there actually are.

The OP only mentions cwm in that thread and being that you can't run cwm, philz or twrp on a locked bootloader none of that applies. It's verizon who chose to lock the bootloader down as they do on nearly every phone they sell with the exception of the G3 and M8, which devs managed to crack both bootloaders on those
Sometimes it may not always be right where you can find it and a lot of people including a former developer hard bricked his S3 on the first locked bootloader with 4.3 ML1 and has since moved on from the S3 for obvious reasons. When your not sure about something don't be afraid to ask questions. And I commend you for reading first before doing anything. And while yes technically 4.4.4 is an upgrade to 4.4.2 you won't be able to run the newest CM11 On a locked bootloader. The last bootloader that was unlock able was 4.1.2 and if you went beyond that you were basically stuck

Makes sense, but these are things that I'm still learning and that's why I was confused. I know to keep my eyes peeled for AOSP as a buzzword. I think what throws me off the most is the 4.4.4 in the thread title.
On a separate note, my preference is to activate the phone after I've rooted/installed ROMs such that I have a working (different) phone while I take my time going through the steps. I am nervous that if I activate after I will have issues and then have to bring the phone in for activation which I can't do once rooted.

That 4.4.4 is AOSP and actually came out before the phone officially had 4.4.2 Touchwiz. You simply have to remember that on a locked bootloader using safestrap, you cannot flash any AOSP based ROMs which includes CM11. You are limited to the Touchwiz based ROMs which are of the same Android version your phone is on currently. For this phone, that means 4.4.2, which I think there are only one or two ROMs available.

Just acquired a Sprint S5 with 6.0.1 and PH3 firmware. I've never had a Sprint device before, I've always used Verizon. What's the procedure for root/bootloader on Sprints version?
You can root the G900P on PH3 with CF-Auto-Root. It WILL trip Knox if not already tripped.

Can't I just Odin twrp and install SuperSU through recovery? I'm new to sprint phones, thanks for the help.
CF-Auto-Root installs a version of SuperSu as described by Chainfire at the link in my first post. I suppose you could install TWRP with Odin but I don't think SuperSu will be of any use without root. I'm not really an expert.
Twrp will install the binary on its own, it will say supersu not detected, you'll need to install the apk/app of su. Unrooted ever? Interested to know if the new magisk works for galaxy s5

Well. We're going to have to wait a bit longer. The eBay listing for it said it was in "very good condition" and was described as having minor scratches on the sides of the phone. When I got it, it looked like this: http://imgur.com/a/qfywD
I powered it on anyway, thinking maybe I could fix the power charger tab, and put a tempered glass protector on it to cover up the weird issues with the glass. That was, until I tried the capacitive buttons, which didn't work. No lights on them either. Now I'm waiting for the seller to respond to my return request. Friggen rip-off.

I already had adb configured, so I enabled developer options, then used adb to reboot to the bootloader (download mode). Drivers were auto detected on Windows 10. I opened the bundled version of Odin in the auto-root folder and flashed the bundled tar.md5 file. After the reboot I had SuperSu installed and working. Rebooted back into download mode, then did the same process to flash the TWRP 3.0.2-0 tar from the TWRP website. I'm currently doing a backup and we'll see if I get a working ROM installed today.

So I just purchased the Honor 8 and I have been trying to root it because I'm not a fan of the lack of options that were available on my Nexus 6p. However everything I have tried with adb, twrp, kingroot and nothing works. I'm not that advanced with root knowledge (yes I still want to root). To be honest I'm at the point where I would pay someone to chat online with step by step instructions during the rooting process! I'm just so frustrated.

A little more information would help, what model are you on (FRD/ Al??), which firmware.
Essentially though, update device via OTA, unlock bootloader, flash TWRP via adb then root( flash SuperSU via TWRP).
There are several guides for all these steps available.
It is however essential that you use the proper TWRP and SuperSU found in the development section.
Unfortunately there is no root method for locked bootloaders

and flash it.
For everything else you need to be a little more specific as to what problem you have exactly

ok so my issue is that after I flash twp and try to reboot phone it sends me to the device is unlocked and cant be trusted screen. it only lets me go to the OS or huawei erecovery and not TWRP. if it boots into the os and I try to go to recovery it wont boot into any recovery
So I finally got my device rooted but now my question is, does anyone know of a ROM that works for the FRD-L04 model? I'm wanting to install some different themes but can't seem to do it without a ROM. Not to mention most of the cool things you can do on a rooted device need one as well. Any idea's?

Got his problem https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/able-to-twrp-recovery-stuck-device-t3616478 and solved (partly). Did your root went fine? So BinarySU on newest Version? Could you please name the main steps you did?
Thank you!
