To those working on a G9000A root. - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

I noticed that the AT&T mobile locate app asks you for permission to use elevated(root) privellages.
Samsung has made the source code for the AT&T variant of the S5 available to all, so maybe you can find some more info there.
Excuse me if this information is useless, but if it ends up helping with the root, you owe me a beer and a pizza with that $12k

You should post that in the AT&T thread or the bounty thread located in the Verizon s5 forum.

The elevated privileges are related to authorizing the app as a device administrator. This has nothing to do with gaining root as far as I know.

This topic is for those whom Sprint had failed, and refused to mitigate the issue.

Well that's already possible through sprint of course. But there seems to be some trouble getting 3G to work..

Well I know it, but there's a lot of us who have the phone outside the states and are unable to use it

[Q] Ok, we have root. How do we keep it?

Serious question. I've had root on my android since the day the Evo came out. This long wait for the S5 was killing me. Now that we have root, what precautions do we have to take to be sure we don't get an update that will kill it? I seem to remember a program called fota killer or something like that for the Evo. Do we need that (or something similar) for the S5?

There is an option in SuperSU called Survival Mode. Check that Box and that should keep root for you even through and OTA.
Additionally find the software update service in Titanium Backup and freeze it.

Sometimes it is easier to tell people to use the search function, sometimes it is easier just to answer their question.
Freeze att update server apk or whatever it's called.

So, just out of curiosity, since you managed to add nothing useful to the thread, how many of those questions had to do with the ATT version of the S5 running KitKat and Towelroot'ed?
Yeah, that's what I thought.
Can't we all just get alone.... LOL

Second time that we get screwed by Motorola? have you checked the update page or do you have unreported official news from within Moto that says that the update will never happen. No official news has been released saying that the update will not happen and that we have been bent over a table and screwed, so until said news is released, anyone who actually owns this device and claims or states things like you just did is purely rumor or speculation unless you have Motorola credentials to back it up.
Have fun with your Note 4 and enjoy the probable lock down of the system Chainfire predicted months ago.
Furthermore, we already have a goodbye thread created here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2611939
Admins, please close this duplicate thread.

I do not have Motorola credentials, so I am not telling you what to do. I am simply offering a bit of advice based off of what we are looking at. KK has not been shot down officially, yet ppl are jumping ship as if the world depended on it. LP will have some issues on new devices per Chainfire's analysis.
In addition to advice based off of things that myself and many others have been looking at for quite some time, I have to point out that your stance about me being controlling and giving me the whole freedom of speech argument is very much off base, esp since I'm someone who wears a uniform.
As stated above. There is a thread for "goodbyes"

where could there be an exploit for root?

Just wanna put a thread together for where you think a root exploit could possibly be found.
I think it could be found in samsungs themer. Due to the fact it has access to the framemork.res
Please fell free to tote your ideas around.
I'm no developer just want to here what other minds think.
I think you along with anyone else who post here is in way over their head nevertheless it doesn't hurt to try. I read somewhere that Smart Manager has just as much access as Knox
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using XDA Free mobile app
I know I'm over my head, but even if I can't find root. it may help someone with better knowledge than I. somewhere somehow.
I think this thread is going to be better than...
I got my edge or I'm waiting for my pre order
https://www.exploit-db.com/platform/?p=android
https://www.exploit-db.com/platform/?p=linux
Would be two good places to start
Plus the sooner Samsung sees that an exploit has been found they will be quick to fix it especially if it's posted publicly. :good:
If @geohot was still around I'm sure we would have something by now. His towelroot worked awesome. Now if some one could take his towel root apk and maybe try and his app and maybe try a few exploits until one works that could be something.

Do and Don't with Gear Vr + SGE7

Hi,
I have bought Galaxy S7 Edge (still in box after 3 days ) and will have Gear VR tomorrow.
What should I do before putting it together and use Gear VR with Oculus account and Cardboard apps in the future?
It there any sticked guide? Could be handy.
I would like to make setup once and don't root the phone.
Thanks
Peter
No setup required. Pretty much just plug and play.

Well, if an App is for free then I have it free, but if I have to pay I am paying.
I am using official shops only and give respect to developers and their work.
I am trying to learn Unity and C# and wouldn`t be happy if people start downloading my App "for free"...
Or I have misunderstand your comment
If you wanna talk about getting paid apps for free then that discussion is never allowed here at XDA.
