Hi I Just did the 2nd update of lollipop 5.0 with software version ending in BOD3. But i have seem to have lost my root access. I'm very familiar with rooting my phone. But not sure what I need to do on this new process. If someone could lend me a hand that would be great. Thanks

How did you update? Did you have KNOX 0x0 before updating?
If you have tripped KNOX flag already (0x1) then just use CF Autoroot, i assume you have an SM-G900F since you mentioned BOD3.

Hi,
I am really scared of bricking and getting the knox counter ****ed up (which shouldn't be a problem since im in EU, but it seems people get denied warranty anyway..).
Could anyone in here please take a look at the screens below do determine if
1) I can use Towelroot as it is?
2) And what version I am safe to update to > and still being able to root it without voiding knox?
Hope you guys can help me. I am a real newbie when it comes to this.
Thanks in advance,
Joseph

Yes you can use TR up to and including build NE2, newer roms like NGx can be rooted by flashing an older kernel with Odin and then root it with TR and flash the NGx kernel with Odin, look here for how to do that http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-root-triggering-knox-2nd-method-t2843044. These methods will not trip KNOX.

Thanks a lot for your reply. Appreciate it!!!
Towel root will work on any firmware build prior to June 6th. And will not increment the Knox flag unless something goes seriously wrong e.g. a power interruption during the write. (So use a UPS or notebook, rather than a desktop PC).

Hi guys,
I have the G900F model and I'd like to root for two main reasons: de-bloat and recover SMS/MMS form my old phone (maybe this can be done without root but I don't know such app). It has stock ROM - ANE2 (CSC is AND1), knox is 0x0 and the device status is Official. OTA is pending but I haven't installed it yet. I found the towelroot thread and I'm clear how to root it without tripping knox. Several users also reported that device status remains Official using this root method. So far so good. What I couldn't find was whether after rooting I'll be able to update via OTA, or do I have to go the Odin way. In addition, will the root remain after OTA (if answer to previous question is Yes)? According to SamMobile the October update is ANH6 (CSC ANH2). It says it's still 4.4.2 so I wonder if there is a point in updating anyway. My goal is to have the latest official firmware with root. TIA

Maybe you must unroot your phone to get latest firmware..
Next if you got it.. Root again your phone..

That's the thing though - if I update now I'm not sure if I'll be able to root again without any consequences. I'm not rooted at the moment so I can accept the OTA anytime. As I said in OP - I'm not even sure if the update is worth it. I read in some threads that the main purpose of the update was to patch the exploit used by towelroot on older firmwares.

You can root your phone again with framaroot etc. As same function..
The beginning of the framaroot OP states:
"!! Important !!
Success with this application void warranty on your device."
I also don't see the Galaxy S5 in the supported devices list.

If not using framaroot.. You can use another root installer..
Hi Guys
There's an OTA 5.0 update ready for my GS5. The problem is that I have root (Towelroot) and want to keep it.
From what I've been reading it looks like all root methods are either ustable of KNOX tripping.
Thanks in advance.
Same issue here
I've got a G900F - no carrier, but running on 3 in the UK anyway. When I got it, it was on Kitkat, and Towelroot wouldn't work due to the compile date being > Towelroot's ability. I downgraded the kernal as per the thread in the General section (as a note, the thread "How to root - all variants" is so far out of date, it's going to lead to people with less experience nuking their devices, perhaps we should unsticky that thread and write up a cleaner version for all the variants out there?) then rooted, and changed the kernal back to my original one.
Great - now I have a rooted, KNOX 0x0 S5 running kitkat. Now Lollipop is available and I'd like to update. So some questions on how I do this and...
1. Retain root with KNOX 0x0
2. Not trash my installed apps / configurations
I know I'll need to update via say Kies as OTA won't be available to me but if/when I update will I keep installed apps / configs? And how do I keep root without affecting KNOX?
This would, I imagine, be a common scenario and worth creating a sticky / section in an updated "How to root all variants" sticky.
Thanks everyone,
a.
Take this only as a pointer because I can't remember exactly what I read, but I think you can update to Lollipop using Mobile ODIN Pro with the Pre-Root option checked, using a stock Lollipop ROM from sammobile / XDA so long as you are already running a rooted KitKat ROM, and that doesn't flag the KNOX counter
Im new to the S5 and just gathering info myself, so make sure you check up on that yourself thoroughly first

Thanks for reminding us of Mobile Odin Pro. It's got the ability to reinject root on firmware installation and not tripping the binary counter.
Can someone confirm whether this method still works on Galaxy S5 when installing 5.0 firmware?
The last comment from Chainfire in his mobile odin thread was that it wasn't compatible yet.....but being worked on......no updates since that post.
Sent from my rooted kn0x0 SM-G900F S5
Yep, that's what I thought as well. I guess I will have to wait a bit. No big deal.
Thanks Keithross
Hi Community,
I just bought a Samsung S5 SM-G900H and on base band G900HXXU1ANG3. I was reading there is way to root this build without tripping Knox, but was unable to find the method. Can anyone please guide me to it and also if possible can i upgrade to LP without tripping knox and with root intact.

I think you are looking for "Towelroot". I heard that there's a way to update to LP after rooting without tripping Knox with mobile Odin, but I've never tried it myself.
Ciuffy's SM-G900F CM 12.1 spirit hath marked this way.
Thanks mate. Anyone who can help me with the way. I have checked and unable tof ind the way out.
There's no way to root the SM-G900H without tripping knox. It's been over a year without it, there won't be one. Get another phone or root and trip knox.
Hello,
I want to update my Galaxy S5 G900FD from 5.0 to 6.01 whitout loosing root and Knox 0x0.

Hi Gele73
You don't need FlashFire to upgrade without tripping Knox. The Samsung way, using Odin, is reliable and will not void your guarantee.
These are the firmwares available for you.
You may follow these general instructions obviously regarding your device.
ALWAYS backup before starting any of these procedures.
Nice regards, good luck and mainly, have fun.

Hi Kdio,
thank you for your answer. I know how I can get the latest android version my phone and I also know how to flash it by odin but I've root and I think I will lose root if I flash the current firmware (6.01) via odin. I'm right?
The main question is how I can update to 6.01 without losing root and tripping Knox.

From this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-ane4-kitkat-4-4-2-multi-csc-t2813628
'Starting from Android 6.0.1 there is no way to keep KNOX 0x0 in case of installation with root (by default), even if you use FlashFire! The reason is that in case of Android 5.1+ root require at least patched sepolicy in the kernel's ramdisk (that means => modified boot.img). The only way to keep KNOX 0x0 in such case is Android 5.0 -> 6.0.1 update using FlashFire with no root).'

Okay, forget KNOX 0x0.
Is there still anyway to root the SM-G900FD? I cant find anything for this device.

Try ALEXANDR's for G900FD http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-bof1-devbase-multi-csc-safe-bloat-t3145437
Solid stock based 6.0.1 ROM with root and some useful optional add-ons and mods like Xposed, camera, phone and sms apps
MM version can be flashed using FlashFire, but as already mentioned it will trip KNOX.
Remember to also flash the corresponding modem and bootloader for MM using Odin.
