I had a root, but updated by mistake. - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I rooted with the famous towel root. It was amazing by the way. Well needless to say I updated by mistake inwhich I attached a screenshot of my specs. I have thd active by the way. But I need to root again. Please help!

There are many ways to go about this. You can try updating Super su to regain root or any number of other approaches. But frankly the easiest and most stable method is to start over again:
1. Backup any files or photos that are important to you
2. Use Odin v. 3.09 to write a stock firmware image to your phone. Choose a build that is pre June 6th
3. Do a factory data reset
4. Use Towel root again
.
.

Or you could try this method which uses towelroot again and preserves your knox warranty

I apologize for taking so long, I just took notice to this reply. This seems like it suits my situation. I will try it tonight after my classes. Thank you! :good:

There's no "true" custom recovery for phones running MF3 or above. MF3 phones can run Safestrap. MDB/MDL phones still have the ability to boot into a true custom recovery using loki.

This is not the case at all. Mk6 is rogers / canaduan variant, and the bootloader is not locked. Root with cf auto root, and flash cwm or twrp via normal methods. You will trip knox counter, but you can run any recovery u like. MF3 is locked bootloader , mk6 is not.

I used kingo app. One touch root. Knox safe. I verified the vroot iemi crap is all removed in new version. After your reboot, update supersu binary via normal method, cancel any knox popups, and choose not to allow supersu to disable knox. Use titanium backup and guides found here to freeze all knox stuff. Then busybox, xposed as normal. Dont install custom recovery if you want to keep knox 0x0. If you dont care, then install cwm/twrp as per normal

Anyways, how do you update supersu binary? There's no option or menu to do so and I didn't get a pop-up.
How do you choose not to allow supersu to disable Knox?

regarding knox. It is safe to allow supersu to disable knox, i avoided it thinking it may trip bc wasn't sure how it went about freezing it. I tested, had supersu disable knox, rebooted, good to go.
Did an identical handset today, and failed to root. Did some poking and found out that kies3 appears to interfere with kingo, so uninstall temporarily when running kingo if you have issues.
Once supersu disabkes knox, you can then update the binaries via normal method. Also if kingo gets to the part where it asks about using odin method, say no, or it'll trip knox.unplug, reattach and try again. Had to do it thrice for an i377m i did today.
Heres what i did:
1 - connect usb to phone, and enable developer mode, then be sure to allow the dev prompt to always accept usb from this machine, phone will prompt to allow
2 - click root. Shouldn't get to odin question, id it does, dont allow odin method, restart the process.
3 - on successful root, you will see supersu install, grant it root, and allow it to disable knox.
4 update supersu binariez via normal method (don't need to use cwm/twrp on i377m only), it will prompt, until knox disabled, u wont be able to update binaries
5 - install busybox installer
I havent installed supersu as system app yet, i imagine its also safe to do so.
6 - check knox in download mode and ensure 0x0 for *both* knox codes
7- installed xposed and some modulez, greenify in particular, and enabled, recheck knox, still 0x0
Both phones i did with this method, once kies was removed, rooted BEFORE i had to install any camera exploits, or any other crap from play. If you habe trouble, reload samsung drivers, try another cable (i had a failure using a blackberry usb cable, switched to packaged smasung usb, worked fine), anothet usb, and even another computer. Old pc's with usb 1.1 wont work (well), usb 2/3 does work just fine.
Avoid clockworkmod, twrp, safesteap etc (or any other custom recovery) if you want to keep your warranty. If you dont care, then twrp/cwm work just fine, they will blow the knox efuse tho and set you 0x1. I work in IT and happen to know knox will work with exchange 2015 upon release. It will also screw up new versions of active sync, as your system isn't able meet the security requirements (having knox intact and not blown) of the organizations' corporate knox policies. Look for a bes like sys admin tool that expands on the remote wipe /lockz/ camera images etc, in the coming months. Exchange 2015 is still a ways away, but since you cant undo a blown efuse with any software, understand implications of blowing knox fully, not just warranty. And if you use exchange email, or plan to, keep knox untripped is best advice.

Yes. Ok, kingo is just an interface for all known exploits. The emei sniffing was actually being performed by vroot. Kingo was simply running existing vroot code. I talked to kingo support last week, who assured me that emei check was pulled during latest release, the vroot method is still present, however iz modified to remove those bad lines. When you run kingo, it opens a connection to kingo server to pull each exploit/patch as one method fails, pulls another, then another, as needed. This keeps package small, and allows for on the fly repo updatez on their end without having to re-release a package.
Kingo does not record emei at all any longer, it was vroot doing it, and kingo bc they simply ran vroot method without editing.
So you will see kingo go online to grab each exploit as required, in the new version, but no emei tracking any longer.
Besides the trojan that was used before in vroot, is picked up by avg free, so youd know if it were still doing it. I ran tcpview and tcpdump while flashing root to my device and didnt see any connections to china, any longer.
This can be verified on both odficial Facebook and Twitter account of kingo. Their intention is to at one point to charge a couple bucks for this app, having it exhibit malicious behaviour is bad for business. Youll notice vroot has no support or contact methods. Kingo does.

Thanks, btw I can't seem to software update after I rooted my phone. It says my software was modified. Does anyone know how I can get it to check for updates? I'm already on 4.3 but I know our S4 will get 4.4 in a few months.
I am still good with Knox, I am at 0x0 for both lines.
Btw, I did freeze Knox in titanium, but not uninstall, just freeze. I did freeze many other apps but nothing dangerous, just normal ones like Travel, google movies, magazines, etc..

You cannot update ota when system is modified, there is an xposed module that changes modified to official tho. Not sure if it trips knox, likely. When updates come, unroot, apply, reroot. There are other guides that can be found here to update keepinng root with odin, you'll have to use the search provided.
Feezing with Titanium backup is fine. Supersu doesnt delete knox, it disables knox notifications. The whole point here is not tripping knox. That's why supersu asks if you want to disable knox, and not delete it, bc only disables, knox services still present. Feezing with tb is same result. Just supsrsu is free, tb is paid (for freezing anyway), though if youre on these forums, should be using tb anyway , titanium backup, greenify donation, and tasker are 3 must have root apps. Tasker is great. I use it to auto enable bluetooth and wifi based on gps location, or driving in the car. Lots of youtube vids on tasker if you areny familiat with it.

Yep it does. Ive used it on a few i377m already. Wasn't available when i did mine. Kingo is relatively safe, latest release is, cant speak for previous or future versions. Kingo is just an interface that uses all known root methods (including vroot, and this method). Just keeps trying dif method til one works. Had this been available, would have used for mine. But it wasn't so setup a segregated lab at work, to test kingo and reports of malware. I didnt see any at that time via tcp dump and tcpview, however that could change since they just rip off other root methods/code to reuse, kingo does i mean. That said if you rooted with kingo, no need to repeat. Root is root (well, full root is full root), and no daemons u dont recognize running.

[Q] root samsung galaxy note 3 with mobogenie

Hi friend sorry for my bad english. Today i discover a new method for root for samsung galaxy note 3. I don't try because i would lost my warrant and knox can grow. For make root it's important install mobogenie on pc and on your smartphone. When you enable usb debug mobogenie will install drivers on your pc. When you open mobogenie you can do many actions (install and delete app, backup, recover and root). someone try to root with mobogenie?

Never heard of that. Why don't you just use cf autoroot. Knox safe methods are almost none existing on later firmwares.

MJ3 and above, you have to live with 0x1 if you want to root (at the moment).
those other rooting method flying around outthere is not proven safe though.
Like last time kingo was reported sending data to china server.
The safest root method currently is CF-autoroot for MJ3 and above. I said safe, in terms of no malware include inside. And it's proven safe to flash, with close to zero problem if you choose the correct file for your model. Only your KNOX will trip. but it's worth to sacrifice if you need root access.

[Q] Note 3 Manual Re-Root - no SU binary installed

I rooted my device with Kingo Android root. I am currently running android OS 4.3.
Everything was going just fine until just today when opened SuperSU and it told me that there is no SU binary installed. SuperSU cannot install it.
Pretty much I need to manually re-root my device.
I am not aware of any recovery files that I may have. To clarify, I have never backed up my device in any way. I have only had it for a month, and there is hardly anything on it. I figured, why bother? Well now I know.
I have done quite a few google searches about this, and I can not find any help.
What is my best course of action?
Thank you very much.
Try reflash and re-root with cf-auto root through Odin. A a small question: u still have root right to install some app such root explorer and titanium backup?

Unfortunatly, I no longer have root. None of my root apps can get root permissions because the SU binary is missing.
I tried flashing my firmware, but now my phone is stuck in an unusable state. The official firmware leaves me unable to boot with a "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
When I flash a different ROM on top of that one, all my spen stuff is messed up.
This is way different from jailbreaking. There are so many rom files I have a hard time finding the one I need.

You need to go on sammobile and download your stock firmware (you probably want to stay on 4.3 unless your particular phone and carrier have root capabilities on 4.4.2 which verizon and att do not yet have) then flash it through odin... just search your model # through sammobile and it will show all the available stock firmwares. That will at least get you running again then u will have to root it again from there

Updating SuperSU is what cause this mess, I believe. It's too late for that now anyhow, because my phone does not boot.

[Q] Please help a noob out. This is the last time I'm trying :(

Ok. So I've tried to ask this question before, and every time I get people telling me to do things I just don't understand. Sorry. Not trying to spam. If this question goes unanswered I will not post another and I apologize if this is too stupid. Just a noob trying to get help.
All I want is to update my phone (SM-G900F) to the most recent Android version. Like 3 weeks ago I got the prompt to update OTA because a new update was available. I've haven't modified my phone other than Towelrooting in July and having SuperSU and Titanium. Had planned to get way more root stuff but so far I haven't had the time.
OTA Update failed, told me my phone was modified in an unauthorized way and suggested to update through Kies.
Here's my question: What's the simplest, easiest way to update correctly? I'd rather do it one way or the other: Either, I unroot with SuperSU and remove Titanium, then download Kies and try to update, if successful I reroot with Towelroot OR: I can manage to update WITH Towelroot and SuperSU still there, if so, how?
That's all I'm asking. Would the first option work best? Is there a better way? I don't want to use Odin or anything like that, I don't want to use custom roms or anything, I'd just like to have the most recent update and root, that's it. Please put me out of my misery.

So would it work if I unroot with SuperSU, then install Kies on my pc and update to most recent Anroid version?
Or, if I'm already going to unroot first with SuperSU, can I then just try the OTA update and if successful, can I reroot with Towelroot or will that be outdated with the most recent Android version?
Download odin 3.09. Download the latest official firmware for your device, search the forums to find the latest one. Extract the .tar file inside the firmware zip u downloaded. Make sure you have the drivers installed for your phone on your computer. Extract Odin and run the .exe to open the Odin program. Put your phone into download mode> While Powered off hold volume down.. Home.. And power button. Press continue when given the warning plug in your phone to the PC.. Within Odin click the ap slot. Load the .Tar file which is your firmware. Make sure Odin recognizes your phone is plugged. Hit start. Sit back and watch it flash.

Ok. I hope this does not sound arrogant. But I honestly can't believe why anyone on this forum can't directly answer my question instead of giving me other suggestions. I don't want to use Odin, it's too complex for me and I don't want to mod my phone to hell and back. I just want to get the most recent update released 2 or so weeks ago.
Nobody has said whether the Kies method works (letting Towelroot remain on my phone and trying to download most recent Android version with Kies on my pc), or whether I unroot with SuperSU, remove all root apps (I only have 3), then try the OTA update just with my phone and see if that works. Can somebody please just answer that? PLEASE
..
I think I'm correct in saying the most recent ota comprised on little more than minor tweaks and security updates.
The world's not going to come to an end if you don't have the very latest update.
Perhaps more research BEFORE choosing the root route would have been wise, at least then you would be more informed as to the outcome of your chosen option.
Having read the last few posts it's clear to me, even as a relative S5 noob that your questions been answered quite comprehensively. Just not the install an app and reboot option you were hoping for.

I did that before rooting and I got the same can't install ota due to modified yada yada.....
I reverted back to Dalvik and the ota installed no problem. As I said.... This was pre rooting so might not be relevant.

from reading the replies above i think the answer is no it wont but why not just give it a try, if its not going to work it will just tell you so (like the ota update did)
your options as stated above are to either use odin and install the latest update or take it to a shop or find someone who is close to you who knows how to use odin and ask them if they wouldnt mind doing it for you and buy them a beer as a thankyou,
odin isnt hard to use in fact it couldnt be any easier to use for a noob just follow a couple of simple steps and your done

Towelroot after latest OTA-Update doesn't work!
I don't know if the idea of an update is so good.
My SM-900F was Towelrooted to run Titanium, too.
My setup was "OTA when in a WIFI network" and clicked "update yes" - I was typing some notes very late,
the message box popped up and --- swoosh --- the Update was running. No need to say my notes weren't saved?
I don't even know what that update contained and what it was good for.
Now I run 4.4.2 ,
Baseband G900FXXU1ANG2
Kernel 3.4.0-2089850 [email protected] #1 July 3rd 2014
Build KOT49H.G900FFXXU1ANG2.
Root access has gone, Towelroot says "device not supported", Titanium doesn't work anymore.
No I have to start Windows only to run KIES - waf.
So be careful.

Ok, so I have unrooted with supersu and removed Titanium. Supersu is still there. I've tried to do an OTA update, and surprisingly this time it actually went so far as to actually download the updates. Then after I press install, it goes into boot mode and says like 20% or more installed, then it goes black and reboots, everything is normal but the update failed.
What. Now.
They should really start telling people that rooting will cause updates to become a nightmare. Please help me, this is ridiculous.

Lack of common sense is my diagnosis.
Of course it's not always going to be plain sailing. And early days with any new handset means there are answers we just don't know yet.
That's why pretty much every thread has a precursor from the Dev that says "use at your own risk","read instructions fully before flashing" or " it's not my fault if your dog gets fleas or your nan pegs it" etc etc etc. If you have any doubts rooting your phone wasnt for you..... you shouldn't have rooted.

Did you use Triangle Away to reset the system status and binaries to official? If not reroot with Towelroot again, use Triangle Away to reset the counters (besides the KNOX flag), unroot with the superSU app, then flash a stock rom with Odin and after that factory reset. Your device is official now.

jesus ****ing christ. i'm not that kind of a phone pro guy. I just want to know if updating with Kies with allow me to reroot afterwards again (whether or not with Towelroot or ****ing Odin isn't important anyway). I rooted with towelroot in july, know isn't tripped or whatever. I have unrooted with supersu. Now I just want to know whether or not updating with Kies on my pc will be successful, and if it will allow me to reroot again, like with Towelroot...
PLEASE

Well I know why no one can answer that simple question. Because no one has done it that way. That is why you can't get the answer you seek. So you have a choice, give up and stop asking, or be the first to try it. Then post here if it works or not.

How to root Galaxy A9 2018 (A920F)?

Has anyone successfully rooted A9 2018 (A920F)?
Is anyone working on it?
How to root
you can use rooting tool or a application to root your galaxy. But there are pros and cons. So you have to consider about them. You can use a single click rooting applications but i can not guarantee it is safe. So you have to do it at your own risk.
We can start with that. That's a good option. I hope it will work.

This is only the firmware, not for root.

How to root Samsung Galaxy A9 2018 SM-A920F via PDA/AP odin ->*Read here
This site has instructions, however the TWRP version for the A920F is not listed on the site.
Yes, there is no twrp for A920F
I have tried KingRoot, KingoRoot, Dr.fone. But all failed
We need to get some traction on this. Has anyone submitted a request to get TWRP on this model?
I managed to get this rooted with EFT dongle. There was no other method that I could find.

Excuse me but how are you? What is eft dongle? Can you help us?
This is my first Samsung phone. I do not know myself. Please be so nice and help me. Thanks!
I just send email to support TWRP. Maybe the more they get such messages, the sooner they will deal with it

It works? Can step by step instructions, starting with unlocking the bootloader, TvRP and to the end? From the very beginning. Thank!!! Sorry, Google translation.

I submitted the request for TWRP on TWRP builder today.
Rooted Successfully
SM-A920F can be successfully rooted by OneClickRoot. If you pay them, they can help you root it manually. My device has been rooted successfully.
But now, the problem is TWRP. Technicians from OneClickRoot told me no TWRP is available for this device and they can't help. So I submitted the request on TWRP builder. But nearly 40 devices are ahead of me waiting for TWRP building.
Is there anyway to get the TWRP faster?

Does it trip knox counter?
Edit: I said screw the knox counter, I'm going with it. Everything was all green until it asked me to register so I entered some name and email. Then it asked me 30$(or 40$ if you're doing it from the computer and not the app). Definitely not worth it to root.
Edit 2: I'm now trying the Magisk boot file patch method, which can work without root and custom recovery. Unlocked developer options, checked OEM unlock option(which needed a factory reset)
downloaded stock firmware, extracted boot.img from it, patched and repacked it using magisk manager and finally flashed it to phone using odin. Knox counter is already tripped. It required another factory reset when I booted it after flashing(It said device integrity was compromised and it needed a factory reset, so I did it) but no bootloops. Aaand after I waited long enough to be able to install magisk manager again, I found out that my attempt was a success! I can now enjoy systemless root on my phone, at the expense of tripping the knox counter of course.
And of course, no luck on twrp side, which could've made the whole process easier for me.
Edit 3: It may sound simple when I write it like this here but it actually is a lengthy process. In fact, I looked up multiple guides on the internet, at least one for each part I talked about above and sometimes more than one since this is my first samsung phone ever.
Edit 4: One last thing, I can pass SafetyNet as well now, which was failing right after I did the OEM Unlocking and factory reset but before I actually rooted it with magisk.

It did trip knox. I don't know if there is a rooting method without tripping knox?
