Hi there,
had my Galaxy S5 rooted and running stock NCG. Upgraded it using OTA to stock NI2, downgraded to NCG kernel and rooted using towelroot. Upgraded kernel back to NI2. Didn't experience any problems. Everything was working fine with the exception of XPOSED MOTO TETHER... Phone did check tethering.
Please advise...
I advise that these posts should be in the Q n A section not the Dev section... xposed should still work.. Id try a different tether mod like xtether or something else.. if not try to mod it yourself or flash a stock rooted ni2 or nk2 rom with stock tethering working with no need for xposed

I rooted my Verizon Note 3 using Kingo a few months ago. I didn't put a custom rom on it or anything, I just downloaded Wanam Xposed and used some of its root features. I'm still running Android 4.3, and I'm wondering if I update my phone to 4.4.2...will I have to "re-root" my phone or will everything still be the same?
if you look in Android Development section and get the Stock based rom or any of the custom versions they have exact instructions and come pre-root

Just got my s5 and rooted it
I got the native tether going but was wondering what other goodies that im not aware of
is there of list of top ten things to do once rooted
Yeah, personally I'd read up up on safestrap and flash the alliance rom or stay stock and go the xposed route....or both.
What root method did you use? I thought the latest OTA patched the kernel?
Hey guys. I recently started a thread in the general android Q&A but was given the helpful idea to check these parts...
I used to have an apk for towelroot that would root the S4 (i337 or i537) without requiring an internet connection OR a reboot to work! I thought I got it from the towelroot website but I have tried all 3 official versions from there with no luck and am now wondering if anyone here had the same APK I was using.
I lost my copy and miss it
Thanks!
What build are you on?
I337 stock NI1, rooted, unlocked
Sm-T537A NE1stock, rooted
If it's relevant my experience was with NC1

I have towelroot v3
let me know if you still need it
I believe v3 is still the current version on the towelroot website. For me it requires internet, but no reboot

I posted it somedays back to confirm my note3's status..
PDA: N900VVRUDNJ6
CSC: N900VVZWDNJ6
RECOVERY : KTU84P.N900VVRUDNJ6
was running 4.4.4 with baseband N900XXUENG1...
I purchased it via CUSTOM India and tried to root it but failed then i c phone info application saying root access 'yes'.. to my surprise it was rooted and i installed supersu and all root apps works fine like greenify , xposed installer etc
I tried to flash custom recovery but there it ceased saying..."wrong software flashed,switch off phone and take it to nearest Verizon store"
I downloaded ob6 5.0 for Verizon and Odin flashed it...everything is working fine now..
Till now 4.4.4 root is not available then how it was rooted and by which method..it has custom recovery having Chinese written in middle...
Plz check pics and screen shots in the link given above...
Did u keep root with Lollipop OB6 ?
I flashed custom recovery on 4.4.4 and rom crashed.. i flashed lollipop and so lost the root...
Root for 4.4.4 is definately present and that too some Chinese method but we dont know ????
You had custom 4.4.4 with root which is NOT the same as stock 4.4.4 which can't be rooted. If your phone didn't crash, you could have flashed custom LP like Jasmine and kept root. Stock LP however can't be rooted

This would be big news if true. Since when has TowelRoot worked on 4.4.4?

Yup...u r right and it is my misfortune.. although lollipop is good but if it ll get root it ll be awesome...lets hope for the best..
Long time lurker... here goes my first post, be gentle!
I bought my s5 and rooted it a long time ago but I haven't kept up it up to date. I'm still on 4.4.2 and I think it is finally time to try 5.0
Since I'm so out of date, I want to make sure I update my phone without bricking it or losing xposed framework.
My current device's system info:
Andriod Version: 4.4.2
Build: ANCG
Kernal: 3.4.0-964333
Bootloader: G900VVRU1ANCG
Rooted
Stock ROM
Safestrap NOT installed
Xposed framework installed with these modules:
Greenify
Xprivacy
Wanam Xposed
Downloads 2SD​
With such an out of date phone, is it safe to just follow the instructions in this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...w-to-update-to-g900voe1-5-0-keeproot-t3149784
Are there any known issues on Lollipop with xposed or any of the modules I use?
I think lollipop allows apps to access the SD card again, so I won't need the downloads 2SD module anymore, right?
I have read mixed reports of Xprivacy working on 5.0, if there is anyone using it on the Verizon S5, how's it working for you?
Thanks!

If you decide to go to lollipop any thing over bod5 cannot be rooted there are some decent roms that are flashable
roms via safestrap.

But why is rooted bod5 lollipop bad? Besides not being able to upgrade to newer versions of lollipop, did you have a bad experience with bod5?
I'm ok with not being able to upgrade further. I stayed with 4.4.2 for a long time, I have no problem staying on bod5 for awhile.. Unless there are other good reasons why lollipop Itself is not worth upgrading to.

Bog5 is the latest now I guess it was to fix stage fright but you could choose the one to your liking not much development for bod5 anymore.

You can install rooted OG5 roms. I'm running a stock deodexed OG5 build (rooted) and it's pretty smooth.
With such an out of date phone, is it safe to just follow the instructions in this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/veri...proot-t3149784
If you want xposed on OG5, no. It needs a deodexed rom and that OG5 is odexed. You can use this one if you want xposed on OG5: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development/vzwstock-based-tw-rom-t3178953
Are there any known issues on Lollipop with xposed or any of the modules I use?
Xposed runs but it needs a special version (just do a google search for samsung xposed lollipop). Whenever I run greenify on xposed it causes bootloops for me, but I think it might work fine for some people. Wanam xposed has a special version for lollipop so make sure to switch to that.
I think lollipop allows apps to access the SD card again, so I won't need the downloads 2SD module anymore, right?
I don't think you need it, but when you install check to see if it works. You can always downgrade.
I have read mixed reports of Xprivacy working on 5.0, if there is anyone using it on the Verizon S5, how's it working for you?
It worked for me when I ran it a few months ago, but if the reports are mixed take my success with a grain of salt.

Thank you for actually answering my questions!!
I will attempt OG5 using a deodexed version so I can install the samsung lollipop xposed. Hope I don't screw it up :-/ I've rooted and played around with a few phones before with no problems, but the last time I messed with a phone was over a year ago so I'm pretty rusty.
cheers!
edit: To use the deodexed version of OG5, did you use the muniz_ri method with FireFlash and just replace the muniz_ri ROM with the deodexed ROM? Or did you follow the instructions in this thread? Or something completly different?
Btw I'm still on 4.4.2 NCG but I have installed SS
Since you are at NCG already I think you can start with rooted odex stock. You should flash muniz_ri rooted odex stock with flashfire, it ll full wipe for default also. After that you 100% can flash any G900V lollipop rom you want with flashfire or safestrap, I choosed FF for myself. I am not sure, maybe you can flash deodex right away, but after some lurked and questions I personally did as described in first sentence. Don't forget to do backup, samsung for example. I was in your position not so much time ago.
i second that lollipop is terrible. go to 4.4.4 and stay. look in page 2 or 3 of android development for ricks rom and flash that, its the best kitkat rom and it just work way better than 5.0
