I finally got the KitKat update last week. I tried rooting by the Towelroot method and.. Bingo! Took less than 30 seconds and I now have root. Could not be easier

Hi do you know what is the date of the update? As I have the update after the 6th June and I read somewhere that towelroot won't run on update after the 6th June 2014.
One more thing what about knox warranty void?
Thanks in advance for your help

I can't remember exactly when the update came through, but it was definitely in the last two weeks, so after 6th June. Root went without any hitch.

Your welcome. I wouldn't bother disabling OTA if you are running a stock ROM. If an update comes then just try uninstalling the root app, run the update then root again. Then you can stay updated.

Thanks!. Its working on my S4 Active. After rooting I install Supersu an he ask me if i want to disable KNOX. i Cancel it an su its working good.
S4 Active not working
Hey,
My S4 Active GT-I9295 [4.4.2] could not be "towelroot"ed. I get "This phone isn't currently supported". I also tried the Samsung modstring. No success. :crying:

I just got an update notification on my rooted note 3. Last time this happened it eventually just decided to update all by itself without my intervention. Will root keeper or the superuser ota saver save my root?
Will the update even go through this time around with a rooted phone?
Thanks.

That's actually not true. I got the update even though I was rooted, and so did half the people on this forum. No disrespect.

Follow the instruction and rename those files.

Then use Titanium Backup to freeze AT&T Software update. I've done those two things and so far I have not received any update notifications.
Not sure what this is yet. Non rooted, stock image.
5.1.1?? Will report back...
Not 5.1.1
No idea as they haven't posted changelog, but hopefully a fix for MicroCell issues everyone is experiencing.
Let us know if you see any changes.
Update downloaded.
Real upgrade from OE2 to OF3. Thats all it says.
@Globalrebel where are you looking for change logs?
Update just finished. Yeah Android version is still 5.0.2. Baseband G925AUCU2AOF3 now.
Getting it now.

You mean since 5.1.1 was supposed to hit the S6's "in June?"
This is getting ridiculous, we need an update from 5.0.2, the memory issues I'm dealing with even on XtreStoLite are almost unbearable
Exactly and as updates for 5.1 come out for other carriers we get updates for random att crap that are almost a month old
It's sad to say that the latest AT&T OTA patches the export for ping pong root, don't take the OTA, because you cannot downgrade the Odin fails

They know because it says on the Ping Pong Root thread not to update for anything past May 15th as the method for root has been patched
I'm curious if there are any other undocumented changes besides the 2 official changes listed earlier. It feels like a fairly big patch for a fix to an phone location and a kernel security fix.
Is there any hope, luck or signs of achieving root on this new firmware

Wow, what a crappy push out by AT&T.
In any case, what process do i need to freeze in TB to stop my phone from trying to download and/or annoying me with that pop-up when it does happen?

AT&T Software Update is the main one, but there are a few others - I don't have an AT&T ROM on mine right now to help out, but it's been posted a few times already (I think I even posted those once)
Just freeze att software update. Then it can't even run so no downloads. I got lucky I clicked on update after reading it in Android central but didn't want to install it. Postponed couple of times but somehow it automatically loaded the update process. I was like sh#t. When it booted up it said a problem updating. And then I blocked the updater. My root almost gone lol

Same thing happened to me being rooted. It just tried to install automatically. Woke up to my phone restarting but then I got the error "problem updating". I was pretty relieved on that error lol... :victory:
OTA Update downloaded to my phone, hit remind me later a few times
Towelrooted my phone to manually update to Lollipop so I can keep root
Phone just shut off and is trying to install OTA on its own
Now I'm pissed, every time I turn phone on, it will start the update.
Is there any way to stop this and get back to my Kitkat so that I can manually install Lolli?

You said you are rooted, if that's the case then you have nothing to worry about, The update will fail to install. Just let it try to install, when it fails you should be able to boot your phone normally, then you can manually update to 5.0.1.
Awesome! I thought I was screwed.
Thanks for letting me rest a bit easier. This phone has sure been a PITA for me.

I hadn't broken the screen of my i537 yet. Once it broke I jumped ship to the i9295 and couldn't be more happy. If they ever release an international/unlocked version of the S6 Active I'll buy immediately. It's not that I care that it's more durable, I just really like having physical buttons.

Hi I have a problem from going to 5.1.1 from 5.0.2. I have tried clearing cache,
I have 9gb free,
made sure everything is up to date and enabled,
and have factory reset my phone.
Still doesn't work.
Says something about "dm- verity verification fail" if I go into that developer screen when you hold power, home and volume up right after it tries to update again while loading.
Never has been rooted and have had it for a few months now. Also I was wondering if I could root this phone and just manually update it with custom firmware and forget about Ota updates anymore and be able to run the latest and greatest firmware. I have read in a few places that the new bootloader is un-cracked though and can't be rooted? Thanks.

Would love a root, but if the rumors are true, that a new S7 Active version will be announced in Jan and released in Mar, and the new S7 Active (still likely only an AT&T exclusive...) has noticeable improvements, perhaps a root solution for this phone may fall to the way-side.
I'm on the fence about getting an S6, kinda waiting to see if I can get any confirmed specs for a new S7.
Argh... tough...
Anyone?

According to Slim, root is broken on the new update. They also changed the bootloader so you can't downgrade. They apparently want everyone to update to the new software.

Of course they do... they don't want folks rooting... Sammy knows what's up... if they were decent they'd give us a bootloader unlock to make up for rushing the devices to market to beat Apple on the release date (which is already cracked smh) and catch a few more percent of market share...

I was able to root. You just can not take the new update, it will prevent root and will not be able to revert back to the old firmware..

For clarification,you were able to root a replacement note 7?
I read,somewhere, that the update starts when you power it on the first time. I am hoping to root mine immediately to avoid the update.

Yes you are correct. The update starts to download when you power up the phone, but you can pause the download or postpone it for later install. This is what happened on my phone.

Awesome thank you for clarifying.
Once I saw there was complete root with volte I went straight to download mode and did the process. Glad I didn't take the update because it blocks root and the sprint engineer rom.
