It means that you'r version of the S5 is not supported yet. Give it time
Did you use enter the Modstring for Samsung as well?
See this page for instructions how to do so within Towelroot

Which model do you have? If Towel root doesn`t work there is only CF Auto Root atm, look here for the correct file http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/. This does trip KNOX though.

I tried to root SM-G900F international version using "1337 0 1 7380 4 0" - just hanged and didn't work though. Not comfy rooting tripping the knox so will probably leave it!
I just got the 900V (Verizon) update which caused me to lose root. I tried towelroot v3 (with the "new samsung" settings) and still says phone not supported. Anybody with a verizon phone and the new update gotten their phone to root again? If so, can you post the settings you ended up entering after clickk=ing 3 times on the welcome to towelroot v3 text?

Try to downgrade to an earlier rom with Odin and Towelroot should work again or look in the S5 Verizon forum for more tips.

I have the same issue, but how would one go about finding the launch kernel for the S5?
EDIT: spent some more time digging around on the web and I found that sammobile has all the S5 firmware you need to reflash back to stock April version.

Try going to the general Verizon thread for the S5. There are a number of posts regarding rooting your S5 (or re-rooting): http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general

Not if you untick auto reboot in Odin, so after the flash pull the battery and you wait 15 seconds and boot into recovery and data factory reset and reboot. Did it myself mate from NG2 to NE2
Can somebody tell me, does stay official version firmware on Phone info window and on stock CWM window (knox counter 0x0) after root with towelroot ?
Thanks forwarding on answer.

This is because your phone isn't supported by TowelRoot yet as it is a new device. But don't worry, you can definitely try the CF Auto Root.

samsung and towelroot
Hey, I'm a relatively new android user, and I'm dying to root my Samsung S5 SM G900F, but it's proving to be harder than I expected.
I tried the towelroot application but it says that my phone is not supported, even though others have seemed to do this easily. Any suggestions? I use a Mac Computer as well, which doesn't make it any easier....

If you had looked at existing threads, you would have found that CF Autoroot is recommended for Exynos handsets. So choose the CF Autoroot file for the 900H.

Hello everyone,
After getting my S5 yesterday one of the first things I did was try to root it via towelroot. Unfortunately it said phone not currently supported which is weird seeing as I found out it worked for others.
Anyway is it because I'm running too updated firmware or anything else of which I am not yet aware. If so I'd love to find out which version I need to flash and where I can find it. I also tried the automated towelroot with EasyRootToolkit(v12) and others but it got stuck on creating VM.
If anyone could help out I'll greatly appreciate it.

If your firmware is ANGx Towelroot doesn`t work. Downgrade to an older version like ANE2 or follow this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-root-triggering-knox-2nd-method-t2843044.
..
Sorry about that, I was trying to find out more general information before going into specifics.
Anyway, my model's information's below
Model: SM-G900F
Version: 4.4.2
Build: KOT49H.G900FXXU1ANG9
Kernel: 3.4.0 ~ Fri. Jul 25 2014
..
I have the same problem.
I purchased mine a few days ago, and the kernel is from August. The model is 901F. It doesn't look like there's any older version to download.
How can I root it?

Maybe Towelroot will be updated to a newer version for the NGx kernels in the future, for now there is only CF Auto Root for root which will trip the KNOX void warranty flag. Check if the 901F is supported by CF Root first.

Ah I see. As long as I can use the phone with the rom of my choice, along with having root access, I don't need the Knox void warranty flag to be intact. I had a look around yesterday, and CF Auto root didn't support 901F iirc. Would it still be safe to try without bricking it?
Edit: Ah I see you edited your post. Will just have to wait I guess.

I would wait on Chainfire for a file suited for your device, you can (soft) brick a phone with the wrong file. You could also Google around for a compatible custom recovery for your device and then flash the latest superSU.zip file for your device to get root.

You didn't look very hard. There are firmware builds going back to May.
Use Odin to write an older firmware version, then Towel root will prevail.

Well I searched for firmwares for 901F. I found ones for other models such as 900F. Would I be able to use a 900F firmware on a 901F model?
..
fffft said:
You attached your post to a thread discussing the 900F and Towel root. Instead of hijacking someone else's thread, you should start your own. Particularly because you have a different, derivative model further confusing the subject under discussion.
The 900F has firmwares dating back to May. Your 901F doesn't. An extended search is your best option. As a very recent model and running 4.4.4 as well as a new kernel build you will have to see what exploits are found for your device. You might want to post some information in the CF-Autoroot thread to see if your device can be accommodated. Or you can wait it out and see what Chainfire, Geohot, et al can do with your model.

Rooting my device
Hello,
I am going to purchase an S4, I9505 and I would like to root the phone, just simply because I want to remove a bloatware apps and gain true control of the device.
My question is - if I follow the instructions in the first 3 posts to letter, how much is the chance to brick the phone? The phone is already on 4.4.2. Do I need to do anything else, or just follow the guide?
I know its a silly question, but I am going to spend some money on the device, and don't want to brick it...
Thank you in advance!

0,0000000001%. It's almost impossible to brick your phone.
Root have stopped working.
I9505, 4.2.2, XXUAMDE.
The phone have been rooted for more than a year.
Yesterday I tried "Wondershare\Dr.Fone for Android" as some smemo have been lost. Im not 100% sure this is why the root was lost.
Today I downloaded CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar.md5 and re-rooted using Odin3.
The process seemed to run fine - but SuperSu cant start - get the "no binary fil installed" error.
What can I do?

Will CF Auto Root work on an S4 (Android 4.4.2) with the baseband version I9505XXUGNJ3? I really can't afford a new phone but I want to root this one so I'm taking as many precautions as possible. Thanks.

I would install a custom recovery and get the root access through this one. Everytime I made that this way, works pretty good. I'm always using philz touch recovery

Hi!
I am willing to root my Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 (brand-Vodafone Italy and running XXUGNJ5 firmware) using CF Auto-Root, in order to flash TWRP and Google Edition ROM on it.
It is not a network-locked smartphone, but just "branded" (it gets some easily uninstallable Vodafone bloatware each time I update it via OTA, however I can use whatever SIM I want in it): is it risky for me to root it using Chainfire Auto-Root?
Rooting a nordic s4
I got a nordic s4.
Xxugnj8 4.4.2. I OTA 1 week ago.

Rooting I9505G running LRX21P
Hi all,
I tried rooting my I9505G running Lollipop 5.0.0 LRX21P. I used ODIN and CF-Auto-root. SuperSu now wants to update, but the update fails.
I later realized that the CF version I used was not meant for Lollipop. Thankfully, my device is still working normally.
Any ideas on how to root?
Thanks a ton!
Hi, I'm new to Samsung and just wanted to know if anyone has been able to successfully root XXUFNC5? I got 4.4.2 and Knox running on it.

hi,
it is possible to root actual firmware
PDA: I9505XXUGNK4
with current rootkit for KOT49H.I9505XXUGNJ8 ?
if not, when is update comming?
First of all, i'm an absolute noob, yes i have rooted before with Odin and CF-Auto-Root. But all those technical terms (roms lollipops kitkat e.g, i don't know what these are). . . i've tried but i just can't get into that. And honestly i don't have the time and interest. I only want it to be rooted. Just so that you know what you are dealing with. So please if you do, then please explain it beginner friendly
So i wanted to root my SM-G901F but i can't find the right Auto-Root file.
I only find files for the Buildnumber KTU84P.G901FXXU1ANH6
but my Phone has the Buildnumber KTU84P.G901FXXU1ANI5 i think i read in one thread here that the ANH6 is newer, but my phone says it has the newest update.
will this be a problem or can i root anyway?
btw i've tried Towelroot too, but as i read somewhere here it doesn't support the 1F
