Does towel root method work on AN12 update. I have read the root methods for under AN12 but since this update has been out for a while now i thought maybe they got towel root to work.
Thank you in advance.

Short answer is yes, however, you will need to ODIN your kernel first then gain root with towel root. Read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784860
Towelroot v3 refuses to install on Galaxy S5 from Verizon.
I'm having problems getting Towelroot v3 installed on my Verizon Wireless, Samsung Galaxy S5 16mb phone.
We were running fine while being rooted under V4.4.4 and Rom *NHA*.
We removed SuperSU, and uninstalled. it.
We installed the update, with no problems.
We rebooted, into Download mode, and flashed Kernel *NCG* .
We copied Towelrootv3 over and attempted to install it... (This is where the problem begins...)
We attempt to install TowelrootV3.apk. We get the popup that gives us the warning, along with the checkbox, we select the checkbox, which allows us to go ahead with the installation... the install begins but then suddenly says, "App not installed". (??????)
I have ensured that we are booted up under the NCG Kernel, and that we have selected:
Settings ->Security->Unknown Sources [ck'd]
Settings->Security->Verify Apps [Ck'd']
Developer Options->USB Debugging [not Ckk'd]
Developer Options->Allow Mock Locations [Chk'd]
No matter how many times that we try to install it, with different settings etc.... it fails with "App not installed!"
What could possibly be the reason that it refuses to install when we are using the *NCG* kernel?
I removed the NCG kernel and put the NK2 Kernel back in, and rebooted for the time being. It's working well, I just cannot get TowelrootV3 installed so that I can install SuperSU.
I've rooted another S5, using the very same procedure, and had absolutely no problems.
What am I doing wrong on this phone? It's driving me crazy, and I don' t have too far to go...:silly:
Thanks in Advance!
Please Help.

Check enable USB debugging and see if it works.

Well,
I found that if you do not copy the towelroot.apk to your internal memory, it will not allow you to install towelroot.
Instead of Downloading towelroot.apk from the website from the phone itself, I downloaded it onto my PC. Then connected my phone to my pc, and placed it into "Access Picture" mode so that you can upload and download pictures into the phone's internal memory. I used that mode to copy towelroot from my pc to the phone.
I used Odin3 to load up NGC Kernel.
Then I disconnected from my pc, rebooted the phone, and was able to install towelroot with no further warnings.
Once that was done, I was able to use Odin3 again to load back up the NK2 original Kernel. I then rebooted again,
and then I could "Make it Rain". After a nice summer rainstorm, I was able to install SuperSU from Google Playstore and install it.
I sure hope that when 5.0 comes to our Verizon Android S5 phones, it's equally as easy to get root access as it has been for 4.4.4. I would surely be hindered without it as my phone relies upon a lot of apps that require root access. Unless Verizon changes their ways, this will be the last Samsung Galaxy I will ever purchase, so that I can move over to a Nexus device.
Thanks to everyone who has stepped up and helped us keep our phones productive and rooted.
Cheers,

Hello i have the samsung galaxy s5 neo (sm-g903f). It's currently rooted with android 5.1.1 and I wanted to ask if I can update my phone via smart switch without bricking it ???
Do I have to uninstall root before I update it with smart switch or do I have to do something else ?
Besides root I have also installed twrp recovery, a permissive kernel, viper4android, xposed framework and other things like that. Must I uninstall all these things or can I just plug in my phone and update it ?
I know that root and all the other things will be deleted after updating

Hi Emre67511
I've personally never used Smart Switch but it doesn't seems to place any impediments upon your requests.
Smart Switch will be active only after your update and, in your case, will be necessary to reinstall it as only S7 has it built into their ROMs.
You don't have to do nothing before updating and just reinstall what you need and is not yet present.
Depending on which ROM you are selecting to install, root and many other things will be restored during update process.
What I do:
1) I only sync with Google that will restore my contacts/photos/calendar/etc .
2) I have Titanium Backup to backup/restore my personal apps and their data as well as other system data needed.
The exact answer for your thread title is: READ! Read carefully what is recommended to perform the processes you are engaging and do as said.
Please advise if some doubts remain.
Have fun.
.
Thanks for your answer .
I used Smart switch and everything went fine. My phone is updated to the last version and I only have to install root again.
So if anyone else has the problem you can just use smart switch to update your phone to the newest version. You must only install root again and everything else is fine.
Hi,
I had some problems with my Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo and Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, then finally there was Marshmallow 6.0.1 released and since then it's really running smoother (because a lot of people had problems with APA2 Lollipop Version). Now its base band G903FXXU1BPD3 and I also recognized much better battery life (no more high "android system" battery use).
On Lollipop i rooted my device with cf-autoroot and installed team win recovery to backup the system.. got it to work after a while. KNOX is 0x1 but no problem and OTA update was not working but i'm glad i could update to MM with SmartSwith PC Software.
I'm also waiting for Chainfires g903F -6.0.1- root file then I try again.. need it mainly for Apps2SD app to link big data to my 128gb sandisk microsd. By the way, is it o.k. to first install TWRP again to backup the system data, and after that root and TWRP will stay?
Now the remaining problems:
- Device Lag on Lollipop (had to reboot every morning to clear RAM): hope its better with 6.0.1 now.
- Sound issues: 1-2 apps stutter when bluetooth headset or bluetooth sound box is connected; without bluetooth it's working fine. Already tried to clear data/cache for system sound apps like AdaptSound, SoundAlive and also BluetoothService etc. ... by the way my stock music app is lost, can i reinstall it after rooting again with a .apk file ?
- I have CM Locker installed and now, on MM, I don't know which app data/cache i have to clear to reset the standard lockscreen which always starts after reboot (swipe) shortly before CM locker shows up.
- Is it safe to clear data of Google App or will my connected accounts, apps etc. be removed ?
I don't want a factory reset because i've got too much apps to configure again, maybe clearing dalvik-cache on MM after rooting will solve some things...
Thanks for answers..
You can already root your phone you must flash the cf auto root for g-903m. It also works for 903f. Look at the g-903f marshmallow theard. And after you flash cf auto root you have to flash twrp again because cf auto root deletes twrp

Root same way as you rooted marshmallow. Flash twrp, flash supersu 2.79. everything is the same. it will take a while to boot though be patient.
Flash TWRP in Odin
Flash SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip in TWRP
no its not working......After install recovery stuck in Samsung Flashing logo....
TWRP is making the devices get stuck on Samsung logo....
I think what is happening is that when you install only the twrp the encryption of the device conflicts and leaves in bootoolp. When you install twrp and root , root already comes with a tool that takes out the encryption. But if you just want twrp, as was my case, you should, first of all, on your own twrp, wipe data and then flash no-verity-opt-encrypt.
Having root and no encryption sucks. Think I'll wait
Found Some Official Announcement From @Chainfire
Source :- Link
ChainFire Info
I'm not entirely sure what is going on here yet. I've had the stock firmware randomly stop booting even without modifying the boot image (rooting). Others have also reported that just flashing TWRP may trigger a bootloop (which is weird). I have some ideas what the cause may be, but it will be some time before I can properly investigate them.
The only way I seem to reliably get both TWRP and SuperSU working right now is:
- Flash TWRP (3.0.2-5) to recovery
- Immediately boot into TWRP
- If you were encrypted, format /data (ext4) and reboot into TWRP again
- Flash SuperSU v2.79-SR3 in TWRP
- Reboot into Android
The first boot will take a while if you performed that format, but for me it ultimately completes. Note that your device will be running unencrypted at this point!
Of course, if you format /data, you will lose all your data (including contents of internal storage!). Before I flashed the new version, I used FlashFire v0.54-PRE to create a backup of /data and internal storage to the removable sdcard, and restore that backup after flashing DPLT, rooting, and reinstalling FlashFire. This worked fine for me, and all my settings - including fingerprints and system settings - transferred fine. I came from the first Nougat beta, but I've seen others reporting success doing the same thing coming from Marshmallow. As always, your mileage may vary.
Unfortunately, due to this boot-loop issue with DPLT and encrypted data, it is also impossible to use FlashFire to upgrade the firmware itself to DPLT while keeping root if you started with an encrypted device.
I am not sure if the same difficulties exist with other official builds than DPLT, nor if the same problems occur with any of the custom ROMs based on DPLT. The S7 is my daily driver so I don't like to experiment with it too much
Below attach the required Files, I gonna try tomorrow. If anyone tried now please report update.

You can root but you have to disable encryption. Not a fan of that personally so I'll wait for another solution. If I lose my phone at least I'll have secure power up enabled. There is no bypassing that. There are too many FRP exploits on Youtube so having no encryption and simply a password isn't enough in my opinion.

Since you are rooted, uninstall S Health and install a lower version number which doesn't require Knox.

Security log will stop after you launch SU application and let SU to disable knox, it takes me always two attempts, disable, keep trying then i restart smartphone and after restart i try to disable knox again and it works, no more pop ups.
About S Health I'm looking for solution, so far should be enough to install older version set it up and update for new one, problem is that i cannot uninstall old version to get new one working.

S Health is now locked down if you have tripped knox. The only solution is to use an older version.

SuperSU couldn't disable Knox for me after many tries. In the end I just used Titanium to freeze Knox.

About S Healht how can i use older version if i cannot install one because new one exist, do you know how to remove s health? i Tried two apps for removing system apps without success.

Sir thank you, i do not know how it is possible that another apps did not worked but titanium did removed new S Health. Afterwards i did install last version of S Health i found before version 5, After launching S Health and connecting account i did update on new S health and everything works.
You really saved me. Thank you
