So yeah for the past actually 3 days now I've been trying to get root access on one of these little wish android boxes and I'm not getting anywhere, I've tried one click root apps like KingRoot and TowelRoot but I think I've been led on there.. the TV itself says it's running Android 11 and from what I can tell it is. I'm starting to suspect that KingRoot and the like can't defeat Android 11 despite what my epic google skills have led me to believe.
Any help at all would be much appreciated!
upload your firmware. maybe it is possible to root.

I am trying to root my GS 5 and I only own a Mac (OSX 10.10.3). I am currently running Lollipop 5.0.
I want to root my phone to get rid of bloatware (TouchWiz and Sprint Apps), improve performance and battery life, and to have more control over what I do.
I have downloaded Heimdall. I tried to download Odin offline version and Goo is apparently shut down now and the Mega link I found did not work. I tried to use the online version and it will not work in Chrome, Firefox or Safari. I have checked to make sure that I have the most current version of Java installed.
I have also enabled Debug mode on the the phone.
I looked into One Click Root (oneclickroot.com) and it looks a little suspicious. I am not above paying for a root but I would rather not, if I could figure out how to do it for free.
I have done about 2-3 hours of researching before posting this question and have not found a solid answer.
I would appreciate any help that you gentleman and ladies could give to be able to root my phone.
Thank you!
Hello, I have seen numerous threads about AndroidPay working / not working with different methods of rooting etc. And most of these threads are from the end of 2015.
I was wondering, now that android pay has been released in the uk, is there a definitive solution to having android pay running on a rooted (full root or systemless root) device.
Thanks

None. This is why I ask if there there a solution that definitely works today.
Thanks for that input though.

I would say you haven't looked particularly hard.
See this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/themes-apps/systemless-root-themed-apps-t3292105
Or this one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/android-pay-uk-t3382007
awesome. thanks
For anyone wanting the answer to my question. The above links didn't work out for me, but this thread worked great, nice and easy instructions, which took about 10minutes to achieve.(clean)

I don't know if it's been started yet, too tired to read everything, but I'm on the Dev Preview 3 rooted with custom kernel and not encrypted and Android Pay just WORKS! I'm kinda wondering if it's a glitch or if they found a way to sandbox it for security reasons that would allow you run it on a modified device.

N has been decent so far. Stability wise there's only a few apps that crash once in a while. 2 was my favorite. 3 does get slow after a bit and needs to be restarted (like several hours). I can't wait to see what's in 4.
And to get back on topic, they need to find a way to let Android Pay just work no matter what. I'm sure that they can make it to where it can run as a secured process.
Systemless root as detailed in the Pure Nexus ROM original post with the project Fi Dialer has consistently worked for me this year. That same method, perhaps without the Fi Dialer, may work on a stock rim as well I'm not sure.
Hi,
I bought a used a Verizon S5 hoping to play PoGo using Fake GPS. But I am unable to select a Fake GPS app in Settings. I am currently on 5.0 (version ending in BPB1) and checking for software updates on the phone fails. Presumably because I do not have a SIM in the phone as I would like to continue to use my iPhone. The S5 would be only on Wifi (or iPhone's hotspot) and used only to play PoGo.
I have read through (most of) the painiac's (excellent) guide and I am trying to decide what to do next:
1. Try to install marshmallow update (no root) and see if the option to select the fake GPS appears in settings
2. Root the phone and try several custom ROM's to see if the option appears
3. Sell the phone back and try another phone
I have flashed custom ROM's with older Android phones some 3 years ago. Modding scene has considerably changed since then and I find myself reading warnings and seeing dead ends (permanently locked bootloaders etc) everywhere. Any advice would be appreciated.
Let me rephrase the question. I can update to marshmallow 6.0 with images available on the internet. I will lose the ability to root the phone. But I may be able to run fake gps and play pokemon go.
Or I can try rooting it and then installing xposed or other frameworks to get the set up on lollipop 5.0 - which is root-able.
Which would be the recommended way for someone like me with mediocre android hacking skills and very little time?
Thanks.
Marshmallow will give you the option to make Fake GPS the default mock application.
However, Pokemon Go will not run on rooted devices unless you know of a workaround for that.

you've come to the right person asking this stuff lol I used to cover all that stuff daily on my yt channel. gained 2400 subs in 3 weeks due to posting my vids on other sites that allowed pogo hacks to be posted. was doing 3-4 vids a day.
AOSP based roms will not work on Pokemon Go. That leaves out anything like Cyanogenmod or anything compiled from it.
The only way i got POGO to work on my spare s5 (i use it for testing) was to flash back stock NI2, re-root with towel root, flash a TouchWiz based rom with SafeStrap, then delete the Root binary and anything SU related, basically unrooting my rom and backing it up manually and only putting em back when it was needed
There's probably better ways now, but for me this worked 100%
POGO isn't worth the effort in my opinion.

Thanks so much. I am currently not rooted and when I go to MM I cannot be rooted from what I understand. So I think I will do the upgrade when I have some time. I will lose the ability to root but I can live with that.

I agree on the effort comment, but I am not sure why you are rooting the device if it does not work on rooted devices? Wouldn't it be a lot easier to stay un-rooted and keep it simple and stupid?
Also, can anyone point me to a legit MM stock ROM? I have downloaded ODIN but I am nervous about the sketchy websites needing registration for downloading the ROM image. I need stock un-rooted Verizon ROM so I was thinking it should be easy to find. However I am not having much luck on the Googles.
Using Magisk 10.2 and the root bundled with it works. You just have to use Magisk hide which is now bundled with magisk.
I'm on vzw s5 running phoenix rom with root. Can still play pogo. No luck on xposed though.
Just a quick update. I got all the things in place for updating the phone to Marshmallow 6.0 and connected the phone to the computer for the first time. The phone gave me messages about installing software update agent and I followed the instructions. It offered to install the marshmallow update from verizon and I took that offer.
After the update, the option to select a GPS app showed up on the phone. I selected my installed app and almost everything works on pokemon go now.
I say almost because PoGo still jumps back to home location for a short second from time to time. But from what I can tell, the fix needs root. So I'll just leave good enough alone for now.
Thanks for all the help.

Google would have answered your question faster than you typing out that whole post. I know the answer to your question, I'm not going to give it

V20 990DS I add one user Account no problems when trying to add a third one the add is greyed out. Is there a workaround to allow more user accounts?
Ok looks like I have to work out how to root then unroot after.
Ok further looking and no root option for 990DS Oreo even then this model seems difficult and risky to root. Annoying how they put a artificial limit in.

There is root, just do upto the twrp he twrp flash step using dirty santa root method, then flash latest twrp again and flash rooted oreo and mk kernel.
Do you have a link as it seems the only instructions say you have to downgrade to early version of Android N. This also sound like I will end up with a rooted phone. Yes I've spent many hours reading and looking into this but it seems you have to understand a lot of info not included in the tutorial. I've rooted older Samsung phones in the past but the instructions were clear and it was easier in Android 4. Some apps just don't like rooted phones so I don't want that. Thanks.

You do have to be rooted to edit build.prop, however with magisk you can hide the fact that the phone is rooted from almost all apps (configurable in magisk manager).
Hi, Ive been facing this problem, several banking apps arent working and im done with my enjoyment of root.
I wanted to revert back to upgrade this to andriod 12.
Will i need to flash the firmware?
Or can i flash my stock firmware and then upgrade it?
I dont care about loosing my data. can i restore my phone? And run banking apps?
Im a noob, I'd appreciate some noob friendly keywords and guidance
The Knox is efuse is tripped, no way to undo that except replace the mobo. That could be why the banking apps are puking on you.
12 is a dog, leave it on Pie...

Thank you for your reply, So cant i get something with Lsposed to hide that from apps? or is the cloning method via island the only solution? And you're saying i should stick with andriod 9 ?

I run stock but others here can probably help you with hiding the rooting.
Pie a great OS, reasonably secure, no scoped storage and better supports 3rd party app functionality. I have two stock N10+'s, one running on Pie the other on 10. I prefer the one running on Pie. The 10 variant has a few new tricks but Karma Firewall's valuable logging feature is disabled by it.
Neither phone will likely ever be updated... that's what I think of Android 11 and 12; not much and nothing good.
Try some of the similar Samsung phone forums (Note 9, 10 as well as popular midrange models) here to find solutions for cloaking root.
