How does Knox work on the S5? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a rooting/flashing method that bypasses it?
And even then, there's not much to lose really, right? Since Samsung isnt going to update it, and S5s dont have warranty anymore

Damn guys.. He obviously isn't as knowledgeable as some of us.. Why should every reply be so douchey? I'm sure you've asked questions at one time or another right? The election is over lol Lets all just start being nice to one another again :highfive:

We need more than root to use TWRP. The bootloader has to be unlocked. It's not very likely that you'll see any Samsung US versions unlocked, they've been locked down pretty damn tight for years.
I'm looking pretty hard at the Pixel XL.. I miss flashing roms every other night lol.

Oh but it most certainly does.
IF the OP managed to crack the bootloader THEN we can progress on the TESTING phase of a TWRP recovery. If he didn't unlock (or crack) the bootloader then thus it is locked, right? Which only answers the question.
One could easy argue that he didn't realize that the bootloader was locked. Okay. So let's do that. We'll assume as such. So let's wonder together now. Why would a device considered the best (and most popular) Android phone on the market not have a custom recovery? Hmm. That doesn't make sense! So instead of posting the inquiry in the appropriate How To Root section... another thread is opened about it. Undoubtedly, if the OP had read about it (s)he would have found that the bootloader is locked. Right? Because what other explaination could there be for the most popular Android phone on the market?
It really just means that every question has an answer but not every answer can *only* be found by starting yet another thread.
But... maybe... just maybe... he DOES have an unlocked bootloader. Wouldn't that be neat? Wouldn't we like to know how? The absence of such is the very reason we don't have TWRP available. Again... a little reading would lead one to discover that very minor detail. Of which the OP clearly didn't do enough. So... the moral of my point is...

A simple search would have answered his question before he posted his/her question.. yes we all started out asking questions and we all have been told the same thing. Search first before asking questions. Its as simple as that. That is what google is for and the search options in these forums..

I don't get how else should do it. It prevents a load of other threads being created. If we tend to be soft on people who don't use a function that was created for a reason, we would be having threads over threads of asking for something that has been answered NUMEROUS times.

How was I being harsh by inquiring to procedure in which he had used to unlock his bootloader?
Once we are all able to unlock ours then we can develop a fully functional recovery.
I know how you say it.... hey noob topic starter man (just kidding ) that question has been asked a few times already, do a search if you need more information. The same questions over and over tend to clog these threads up. But what clogs them even more, is the multiple flaming responses with no answers or guidance. . Or better yet, you can say... I have a link it's right here vvv.Heresyour answer.com/post710
Well this is TWRP built for Snapdragon S7s but won't boot because of locked bootloader.

Don't get XDA into trouble due to this.
A thorough read of XDA Rulesforum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?a=81 might clear it for you.

Boot Loop after UPSM Setting Change

SM-G900P has been stuck in bootloop. Just tried to change apps in UPSM, think that may be the cause. At first I used the UPSM Manager app that I got from https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751785 I don't want to factory wipe this, I have a lot of sensitive info on there. It is systemless root on Android 6.0.1. I am using TWRP recovery. Does anyone have any ideas?

My phone won't turn on at all. Did I brick it?

This was my second time to flash a custom recovery but I messed up on a step and now I cannot on my phone nor go to download mode. My S5 is literally dead. Is there a way to restore my phone? I know the risk to rooting but didn't expect to make a mistake, if my mom finds out she is gonna kill me.

stock firmware for Samsung Galaxy s7 G930V

I rooted my phone a while ago and have now screwed something up on it. It keeps saying ISM service unavailable...every 2 seconds no matter what I try. If you have a fix for that, that's great and I'd love to hear it. However, I am just looking for stock firmware for my Galaxy S7 G930V VRU4CRE5 to fix the problem. I can't find it anyway...I'm also aware that I'm no expert on this stuff so if any other stock firmware, or heck even a custom ROM at this point, works for my version that you can suggest, well then any help is welcome! thank you.
