I tried it in the VZW G2. The root works (Phone reports being rooted in Settings\About Phone\Status screen) but it doesn't install SU. I tried installing SuperSU and both SuperUser apps (by Chains DD and ClockworkMod) but the binaries wouldn't install.
We are already rooted, I'd there a reason to go this route or are you just playing around?

I'm just a bit wary of hacking software that:
a) originates from china
b) lights up an antivirus program (Symantec) like a christmas tree when attempting to download.
Having found the same exploit that the OP talks about, I went ahead and tried that first. Since I couldn't get the SU binaries installed, I ended up using the chinese one in an older ready-to be-rebuilt laptop. The fact that a Trojan was found in it still bothers me immensely... (I'm travelling for work, so I don't have the Trojan info readily available, but can post details over the weekend if anyone is interested.)
Hi Guys,
I'm new in XDA and this G2 is my first Android phone.
Build:JDQ39B
Sw: D80210a-222-10
By the way I'm trying to root my G2 with the IORoot method, and probably for my carrier Vodafone, it responce that:
no matching phone found. Got VDF from adb.
Now, I know that I can edit root.bat, adding a line for my carrier like:
if %RESULT%==VDF GOTO ATTTMORoot
but, I want to know if someone tryed it before!
I'm waiting just your responce to proceed. Thanks!

Welcome to XDA!
You should be able to root your D802 regardless of carrier (unless in the US) by selecting the International version option. I rooted my D802 that was locked to O2 UK, by selecting the International version option. Good luck and report back!

Thanks. I hoped on over to the guys in the IRC and asked them the same. And what you are saying is correct. Though it seems that superuser from DD does not give you the superuser request and you can't track them inside the app. This was confirmed by one other user over there. Instead I now use SuperSU by Chainfire (GooglePlay) which handles the requests correctly.
Cheers

How is my question not related? I asked whether a more stable ROM would suffice, because nightly builds are by definition prone to regressions.

He can only know if it works on the rom he used so you can try out on a stable Rom if you like to test. If all your doing is installing to Soff it doesn't really matter how unstable it is, it's gonna be wiped afterwards.

If yes, do it again. Your image shows that your phone has freezed I think.

I had this problem when I was on sense roms.

Please jump to the following thread for information on root/lollipop:

garyd9 said:
There's some misinformation going around concerning lollipop (android 5.0), root, and the SHIELD tablet. I'm posting this (redundant) information to (hopefully) clear things up and prevent someone from causing themselves a headache after the tablet updates...
nvidia has stuck very close to AOSP in their tablet firmware updates, so it's a reasonable assumption (at this point) that the new firmware will also be very close to AOSP.
If that comes to be, then "rooting" the tablet will be more difficult than in previous firmware updates. Most of the gory details can be found in this G+ article by @Chainfire : https://plus.google.com/113517319477420052449/posts/VxjfYJnZAXP
(BTW, as always, a huge thanks to Chainfire for his efforts. If you haven't already, paying for the upgrade to "SuperSU Pro" is well worth the price if for no other reason than to encourage Chainfire to continue work on that project.)
If you don't understand the details of that post from chainfire, I'll try to summarize it: Even if you manage to get a copy of the "su" binary on your system partition (which is essentially the goal of all the older root exploits), it won't matter much in Android 5.0. In Android 5.0, we'll ALSO need a part of the kernel image changed (the ramdisk) so that a part of "superSU" can run at a more permissive context.
Updating the kernel ramdisk shouldn't be too difficult (if its compressed with the kernel in a normal way) once we have the image to play with. As well, in order to put the newly modified kernel image in place, a person would have to unlock their bootloader (which can void your warranty.)
Actually, it's possible (once the image is released by nvidia) that @Chainfire will stick the image on his server in one of his very easy to use "CF-Auto-Root" bundles. (Hopefully, all the @ references I've made will get him to look at this thread and confirm what I've said. The honest truth is that I'm NOT familiar with SELinux, so I'd have to do a bit of experimenting to get this working.)
Take care

Have you found any specifics on what will need to be modified in the ramdisk? I haven't really done anything with the boot.img itself but I'd be interested to see what is going on with this.

It seems to be. Only problem I have run into is that FX file explorer root mode doesn't seem to work, but ES does so I think it's an app compatibility with 5.0 thing rather than a problem with root.

Awesome, I use FolderMount to link my obb files from the sd card to the main so that my largest game files are all on my sd card. I actually have the premium version so I just link my whole obb folder and data folder but I would guess linking any obb and then seeing if the game would load would test it. As for Titanium a backup/delete/restore of any app would test all of the features. Thanks for checking that out

I was starting to wonder how I was the only person (or at least the first) to have that idea.
So I already installed the update for lollipop. Although I was rooted using towelroot, I never installed CWM or unlocked my bootloader. Is it too late to follow the instructions to unlock my bootloader at this point? Do I need to just wait for another root method?

Hi All!
I didn't see any thread yet for this phone, the Samsung Galaxy s5 NEO (SM-G903F).
Here you can share your experience and tips and tricks.
Unfortunately I didn't see any root for this phone, as well the custom roms aren't there.
So if you have a trick to root it, let it know in this topic!
I have this phone since last Saturday, till now I'm happy with the phone. I installed nova laucher on it, because it works better.
Can't wait to install a custom rom on it, with stock android.
Is this maybe something that can help? Also a Exynos processor.

Step 1. Go into settings and enable installation of apps from unknown sources(settings>security>tick unknown sources)
Step 2. Go to https://towelroot.com/ and tap the brown lambda symbol to download towelroot app
Step 3. After download completes open the file, the android package installer will appear, press install
Step 4. Open the Towelroot app and press the "make it ra1n" button
Step 5. Enjoy your rooted S5
Last time I checked towelroot didn't do the S5 Neo... has this changed?
--EDIT-- Checked... it still does NOT support the S5 Neo.

I've checked last week towel root and I confirm too that it does not work. Later I'm going to post here 2 pages that show how to root it but 1 one of them at least, I think is something like a fake because I don't trust pages requiring to complete surveys for files downloads...
The other one shows other methods but I tried some of them without success....
Maybe someone can do it.
By now my new s5 neo continue waiting for a root working method....
I've too much apps that need root access like titanium backup or xposed for example, and without all of them, my I9100 with resurrection remix last rom is by y now still being a better useful phone than s5 neo

I was on these sites as well, they're look kinda shady. Because you have several sites with different names, but the same lay-outs.
I don't trust these sites.
Maybe it's an idea to spam Chainfire's his topic? Because someone already asked to make a root for the s5 NEO in there.

DO NOT - repeat - DO NOT go on that survey site publishing an alleged S5 Neo root: it is a scammer.
I already confronted him directly, he also posted a video where he shows that he can download the APK file after submitting a couple of surveys but it is fake.
He's the only one claiming to have a rooting method (isn't it strange? and so soon?) and when confronted directly about his peculiar way of allowing download he hides away... DO NOT trust that, he has NO ROOT whatsoever, just a bunch of ads to make easy money.

If you try the newest version it will say that there is no means to root. And you can request for them to research it like i believe 30 have done this according to the app. The more people who do this the more they'll think people actually want this.
