I did the towelroot on my S5 sprint phone. also, used the root checker, and said it was successful.
my question is, is this a true root? can i install roms? what is the best recovery to use?
Is there instructions out there, on how to get a recovery installed after doing towel root?
If i havent done the true, full root, how much further do i need to go, in order to start flashing roms?
Is there a true, Google Play edition rom out there for this phone?

It is a true root, but just remember you still have a locked bootloader, so you can not flash custom roms, recoveries or kernels that are not based off of TouchWiz (essentially limited to stuff built ontop of TouchWiz).
Once the bootloader is unlocked then you can do all of that.
GPE version of the phone is still a rumor, but they released the S4 GPE version around this time...
Thanks for that information.. since i dont have the bootloader unlocked, i really cant do anything.
Should i just go back to stock? is there an easy way to do this?
Or
Should i unlock the bootloader? is there step by step instructions on this? Sprint Galaxy S5

There was a developer for note 3 who wrote a script to install ROM without custom recovery. It might be the way if any developer can develop script for S5 as well...

Yes that is correct you can't really do anything in terms of custom roms. That being said you still are rooted, so you can install titanium backup and the xposed framework and modify your phone using those methods. You still are on stock, just with an rooted phone, are you talking about unrooting the phone? I've seen things that can let you do that (like this) but I don't think your phone is supported.
I wish I could say that unlocking the bootloader is something that is as easy as you may think it is. It is extremely difficult from my understanding. I don't know a lot about it so I can't give you a good answer to be honest, but I haven't seen anything on the subject.
Just so you know, that once VZW pushes an update to your phone, you will lose root (if you update) and won't be able to reroot until a new exploit is found (assuming the update closes the exploit that towelroot initially took advantage of). This news sucks but this is just a fact of life when dealing with VZW and ATT.

Not completely true, if you install superSU Pro from the play store root will stick after an update because of the survival mode.

Didn't realize that SuperSU Pro could maintain that even if they close the exploit in the kernel that allows them access root functionality. How is that possible?
all good info..
the reason i want to root, is in hopes of getting a true google phone. No Touchwiz.. i did install superSU. i understand that will keep my phone from getting viruses as easy.
however, my phone popped up an update icon, so i went to check if i could download the update. the message i got was..
"the operating system on your device has been modified in an unauthorized way. try downloading software updates using samsung kiel on your PC, or visit a customer service center."

Big Brother is watching you Walk slowly, go lie on the floor and spread your arms and legs. The NSA will be there any minute now
Don`t think that because Towelroot doesn`t trip KNOX (atm) root will not be identified by both the phones hard- and software.
btw.. using superSU app.. you can unroot with it. it worked, and phone is now unrooted.
** Sprint s5 **
Hello,
I came across your thread on the TowelRoot for the Sprint S5 and I was interested in doing this to my Sprint S5 also.
* I just wanted to confirm with you if there is anything I need to know before I do this? I was scared because I didn't see any threads or news to confirm that the V3 TowelRoot will work with our phone.
Please let me know, thank you

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.

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?

I used the Odin method from this site by chainfire.
Now I managed to kill knox. I closed and un-installed all 6 knox stuff with titanium backup. I did create a back up file for all of them but I don't think you can restore them.
I need busy box for some of my root apps to function because I need the killall.
For some reason busy box gets error message saying there might be a problem with my root.
Anyone have any suggestions?

I had the same issue on the SM-T530NU rooted using the Odin/chainfire method (I assume you're referring to the Play Store busybox app). The problem went away for me when I installed and ran Root Browser, which installs components of busybox on its own. After installing and running root browser once (follow the setup prompts), and then rebooting the tablet, I was able to run the original busybox installer app with no issues. No idea if this'll work for you but since it was the exact same set of circumstances, hopefully it will.
With custom recoveries available, cf autorooot isn't really needed.
At some point you are going to trip knox. But if you have successfully disabled knox, go ahead and flash
a custom recovery. Then flash chainfire's latest supersu update zip. Then find your busybkox install via market
or a custom binary.
If custom binary, push it to /system/xbin, then open terminal and su, then
mount -o remount,rw /system
chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox
busybox --install -s /system/xbin
reboot

SM-T530NU is mine. That's what you needed right?
Now will I be able to unroot my device to play a game that won't run if I'm rooted?
Or is there a way I can run it and still keep my root?
I used the chainfires way of rooting and I just did the superuser unroot.
I went to the Samsung website and got the stock file for my device which is like 1.2 or so gb.
Can I put that back on my device and then wouldn't I be completely unrooted?
Also I used titanium backup to remove all the knox files while I had root.
Will this be a problem when I flash over my Samsung file I downloaded from the Samsung site?
I want to have full root but still be able to play this game ragnarok. Can it be done? Oh and using that lame hide my root from the Google play store didn't work. I hide the su binary and removed the suapp and it didn't work.

You're a human being living in an age where we have the most immediate access to just about any information imaginable. I have around a dozen devices all rooted using a variety of methods and I am able to install and run any program on any one that I darn well please. If you're really going to tool around and hem and haw about a bunch of apps I don't know that I can help you.
You have the SM-T530NU? Fine, this is a surefire way to root your tablet. HOWEVER, in doing so you will trip knox, thereby voiding your warranty. If you don't understand that sentence, I revisit my earlier point of READ. Learn on your own, that's what I've done. But stop coming at me with your confrontational language, especially coming from a position of such a persistent insufficiency in knowledge and a lack of the motivation to rectify that shortcoming on your own.

You can unroot in SuperSU. It's an option called "unroot"
Yes it will be unrooted. Or you can just reflash system firmware.
I don't foresee any problems with rooting, unrooting, and then even re-rooting your tablet but even so if problems arose (which they probably wouldn't) there are ways to wipe/reset the tablet.
I don't know what macro touch is. Use google, the play store, xda, etc. to search for apps.

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.

Do not try the second one either have read of some people that allready tried all of them (on the site itself 3 people allready say it ain't working..) but didn't work! And there are only 2 reasonable options 1 is king root and the second is idd chainfire. But the second one i don't think we should spam his topic just like the post where the one guy is asking about it!

Kingo root I tried, but that keeps hanging on 77%, so that one doens't work either.

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.

Oke, cool!
Does it has to be done via de application? Or do they have a mail/website? I'm at work now, so can't check now

Via the newest application is the only way I know how to or else they probably get flooded on certain email - addresses
For those like myself that want to be able to use hotspot and do not have a custom ROM with it already enabled I found a working solution:
Step 1
Download this hacked apk here:
http://downloadmirror.co/Usp/CarrierEntitlement.apk
Step 2
Your going to want to paste this inside /system_root/system/priv-app/CarrierEntitlement and replace the one already there.
Step 3
Change the permissions on the hacked apk to match the ones on the original (so it functions the same way)
I have attached a screenshot from Root Explorer as to what the correct permissions settings looks like.
Step 4
Reboot and profit.
Cheers,
Jake

Yes because it requires overwriting a system apk. But this is easily achieved with flashing the SuperSU zip in TWRP
Can you explain how this is different than editing the build prop? Also what carrier are you using this mod with?

sounds good i have no unlocked yet though lol
Ah yea. Most mods and hacks will require it. Luckily with our phones it's super easy and free and Officially supported by Google! All tutorials can be found directly through them online!

This might be a stupid question but can I unroot after making the change?
I suppose. It will stay until you change roms or update. Long as you don't reflash anything it will persist.
If I choose to root device only, Pixel XL, and apply this method, will I still be able to receive the software/security updates from Google? I believe if you have a custom rom installed, it wouldn't work.

What exactly is the process to unroot without a reset? I've rooted every device I've owned and never went back... Until this one. I like android pay... So no root for now. Would love to do the mod and unroot if possible to keep Android pay working. But tethering is far more important than taping my phone to pay.
Inside SuperSU app there an Full Unroot option that will do it for you

Just side load the OTA image. Wont wipe a thing
You can just add the following line to your build.prop file, save and reboot then the provisioning check will be bypassed.
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
I'm curious why this method is better than the one already listed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/themes/mod-tethermod-systemless-install-guide-t3501448
The one linked above can be binded to the /su directory and will survive OTA's...plus it comes with an installer if you use TWRP

Looks like I'll be rooting tonight then. But in reality other than tethering, I really have no need for root, or a need to jump on 7.1.1 just yet.... Unless there is some shiny new toy hidden inside it lol
