I had my verizon samsung galaxy s4 phone rooted through towelroot and it samsung updated this morning and know I don’t have the root. I tried reinstalling it through towelroot but it says the phone is not supported. It updated the kernel to 3.4.0, [email protected] #1, dated august 28, 2014. The build number is VRUFNG6. How do I fix this? Thank you.
There is a forum specifically for the Verizon S4. You will have better luck asking your question there as there will be more users who have encounter this or a similar problem and who know how the Verizon firmware can be fixed.
Towelroot doesn't work with your kernel, you need to use CF-Auto-Root with odin

The root methods you have listed are intended for older versions. The only functioning NC1 root method is towelroot. Please check the all things NC1 thread prior to posting. All info can be found there. The person above has given the link to towelroot. If you go to the galaxy s5 forums, you can get a tutorial on it, but it's pretty straightforward. Enjoy your rooted device.
Remember that the phone has a locked boot loader. So, the stock kernel and recovery cannot be replaced. The only working recovery is safestrap. There is also restrictions on the Roms that can be flashed.

You can use TowelRoot for your phone
Hi Guys,
I plan to buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 today (Black Friday), and I am new to the rooting world but not a tech newbie.
My question is what update OS do I need to be at before I attempt the odin/TWRP? The downloads for the files/tutorial don't state which version I need to be on. How do I check what version I am at? will I need to downgrade/upgrade?
Thank you so much.

To use vroot you need to be on ne2 firmware to root it. If you got it new it should be there as long as you haven't gotten an ota update already. If you did just Odin back to ne2. There is a section in tab4 android development that has all you need as well as safarikings stockroom v1.0 for the t230nu. Have fun!

You mean this one? https://download.chainfire.eu/611/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-jfvelte-jfveltexx-gti9515.zip
Is it safe for lollipop? wifi and sound problem?
Well, try towelroot.

Have you tried them on Lollipop i9515?
@HamidZaeri: Don't pay too much attention to what Hannah says, or she might have you try to install an AT&T baseband on your I9515 and thus risk bricking your S4. If you don't care about Knox, then just use CF-Autoroot and be done with it. While I believe Towelroot has been updated to work on Android 5.x, it may not work on the value edition S4 due to subtle hardware differences.
Hello all. I've searched the threads as much as I can and haven't been able to find a solution for my dilemma. I have a Samsung Galaxy s5 Verizon and want to root it using towelroot.
Android version: 5.0
Kernel version: 3.4.0 Thursday, February 18, 2016
Build number LRX21T.G900VVRU2BPB1
Now, when I attempted to root with towelroot I pressed the button in the app, and it said " this device is not supported". I then tried the modstring codes, but none worked. So after reading a little more I found that towelroot works on Verizon S5's, and was indeed made for them, however it only works on those with a kernel build date before a specified date (before June 3 2014)
Having this information in hand it made sense to me that I should downgrade my phone in an effort to make towelroot function. So i researched it and located the correct stock firmware for my model, and selected an android version of 4.2.2 and one just newer than that and attempted to flash my phone with them both. I followed the instructions to the letter. When it didn't work I did some more looking. I turned on USB debugging mode, made sure reactivation lock was off, and even removed my SD and Sim card. Each attempt failed on Odin. I'm stumped as to how to get it to work. Help?
Towelroot does not work on Android 5, and since you are on "PB1" you can not downgrade to a previous version.
Check out this thread, it explains how to root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370
I've searched through countless threads on xda and I couldn't find any way to root my Galaxy S5.
Phone Details:
Galaxy S5
G900V
eMMC 11
Kernel 3.4.0
Android 6.0.1
August 1, 2017 Security Patch
KNOX 2.6
There are some deleted images from a messaging app in my phone from years ago that I want to retrieve using EaseUS MobiSaver. I've looked through multiple threads saying that I can root the G900V by either downgrading from marshmallow to lollipop and rooting it, or by using a specific method to break G900V with eMMC 15. There are outdated threads like using Towelroot, and others that recommend KingRoot which unfortunately don't work and keep me in a queue.
I'm posting a new thread for this problem as I haven't found and threads with a solution.
Is there any way I can root my G900V without going back to lollipop, which I believe would delete all of the information on my phone including the deleted pictures?
Thank you!
