so I rooted the gs5 and the nfc stopped working so I flash back to stock with odin to the latest ota update and still not working .. is there a way to fix it ?
i'm running a stock rooted rom and nfc works fine.

I'm aware nfc works on some roms but the stock system without root access is what I'm referring to
you said you rooted and it broke nfc. im saying that root doesnt break nfc, you did something wrong or your firmware is bad. did you use odin supersu? you didnt tell us anything other than you rooted and it broke nfc, and root alone does not break nfc.
My problem is I have searched EVERYWHERE to find info on how to root my device being that it is brand new never rooted running the newest firmware update. My gs5 came with NI2 and then when I turned it on it did more updates so now it has NK2 NEVER ROOTED BEFORE. so I need to find out if I can downgrade my firmware back to NI2 so that I can use towelroot to root my gs5 because im feeling kinda sketchy about downgrading after the bootloader has been updated to NK2. and my next question is, ive read that in order to get on the most recent firmware and rooted you need to flash the firmware in order using odin till I get to the newest firmware and my question is this, after ive rooted and I flash new firmware using odin will my root still be there even after doing this 2 or 3 times getting to the newest firmware out will my device still have root? or will all the flashing of new firmwares take away root? so I believe if somebody answers these questions i'll know where to start.

I just did mine today. I installed towelroot before updating to NK2 though. After I rooted it verizon still kept asking me to upgrade so I did and lost the root. I was able to get it rooted again though. Not sure if this helps cause I was on NI2 when I installed towelroot. Can't it be installed on NK2? I don't know this is my first post.

I think you can install towelroot to NK2. You have to downgrade to NCG to get root to work, then flash to NK2. You don't want to try to install it while in NCG cause the phone will go too slow. I used the video called Verizon Galaxy S5 How To Root Latest 4.4.4. OTA Update

im reading the page you linked me to, but I have 1 question. my device has NK2 on it and the bootloader has been updated to nk2 aswell so my question is, im not able to flash a older firmware version because the bootloader is locked and wont change back to a older firmware correct?

You can still do it. That Guide works for from ncg to nk2. It even has the tar files for nk2 so you can Odin back to nk2 if you want after you root. Is there a certain rom you're wanting to run?

no at the moment im just trying to get this rooted, so im guessing because when I got my phone brand new it had ni2 on it so that's the tar file I should download correct?
You have to download ncg to root. Then I'd you want ni2 download ni2 or if you want the very latest get nk2. More roms use ni2 firmware I think.

Was it full tar or firmware? I only ask because you don't need the full tar. All you need to do is get the Firmware only that is in that thread I linked. Flash it in Odin, run towelroot(should already be installed because once you go to ncg kernel things will be slow), flash superuser, safestrap, then flash the nk2 firmware with Odin. That should put you where you are now, just rooted and with safestrap.
Just follow that thread substituting nk2 for ni2 and use the Firmware downloads from that thread.

Go to the guide, go to how to root section. You can use your phone to unzip files so download roots5 zip and unzip it and follow those steps except for number 3(the ones that says Odin ncg) since you're on it now. When you get to the step that says Odin ni2 just use nk2, or ni2 if you want on that one. Now roms are ni2 than nk2.

I meant 3,4 and 5. I'm sorry. Trying to get my son to go to sleep too. Lol. Only time you need download mode is if you're using Odin. And you only need it now to go to ni2 or nk2, after you root and install safestrap and flash superuser.

Wait, did you download ncg Kernel or ncg firmware only? If only kernel then nk2 kernel is ok but if you did firmware then do nk2 firmware only. That way you get the modem too

hello guys,
I rooted my Note 4 SM-N910C yesterday, and everything was fine until now. I saw that reactivation Lock(can't flash via odin when it's on) was off, so I tried to turn it on, but it was not working. I tried everything, but without sucess. I tried to flash a stock firmware from sammobile, and after that, it was working, so I rooted again and It's not working anymore.
So, someone knows a way to root and get it working? Did you have this problem too?
help me :/

this is a kernel related, I think. Everybody says that it still working on Snapdragon's Note 4, but here at Exynos, you can't activate it.

I dont think it is that, I have a friend with the same model that us, and the activation works on his phone :s
So, guys, have anyone solved this problem?
I also have rooted Note 4 and neither "Remote controls" nor "reactivation lock" can I activate...
reactivetion lock not working
I also encountered a similar case but only used through l launch , give me one new idea when it dies in it :good:
Guys, has anybody solved this problem?
Here I am, rooted GS5 with MM fw, before root it worked, as it did with lollipop and kitkat.
After root it doesn't turn on anymore, I reflashed stock recovery too. I guess it's related to knox 0x1, with rooted knox 0x0 kitkat and lollipop I could enable it.
Or maybe it's kernel related, so systemless root with stock kernel could be the solution
Good news, after reflashing a stock firmware I could enable RL back. So it's not knox related but root related. Tomorrow I'll try with systemless root

I think what is needed it to copy your stock recovery from an official touchwiz rom and flash it. You will need a tar.gz converter to flash it via odin. Sometime ago I tried it where your root remains but you have a stock recovery. I believe all those Samsung security features like Reactivation Lock relies on a stock recovery and not a custom like ( TWRP/CWM)

I reflashed stock recovery but still no luck. It's root related, or better kernel related, as someone posted above. I'm on systemless root and it shows "warranty bit kernel" message at boot. With rooted lollipop and stock kernel/recovery it worked

Just flash supersu beta via twrp
You must have stock boot.img, I suggest reflashing the entire stock firmware if you did some modifications

Look...i am currently rooted. I have twrp 3.0 and i flashed super su beta. I dont have any modified or special kernels of that sort...just root. So are you telling me all i need to do is flash the original touchwiz boot.img from the marshmallow rom file ( i will have to go convert it to a Tar file) ???.... And that will give me the ability to stay rooted and be able to use reactivation lock again ???

Ok..thats what i thought.......its best we stay without it then. Or go back completely stock and unrooted to use the feature.

You need to replace a something.db file. I can't remember the name of the file. I found the answer in the Q&A section on the Everything L720t thread.
