I was recently rooted the latest version of Android with towel root, when I decided to restore my device. I then updated my device with the LG mobile support tool. I then tried to reroot it using towel root again. The app then said my device was not supported. I have tried using the modstring but I can't get anything to work. Please help

What is your software version? If it's V10E, there is no root exploit available. Only fix for that is to downgrade to V10C then re-root. If still on V10C, I'd suggest trying PurpleDrake to root it since TowelRoot doesn't seem to be working.

Hi! I've just tried towelroot and it shoved in my face that my phone is not supported. I have tried the different modstrings and my kernel date is 28.11.2013 (should be supported). Any thoughts and ideas would be appreciated. Thank you!

Use odin to root your i9305. check the odin guide below in my signature and follow the steps to root your device, very easy
Thank you! I was thinking about Odin but yet again I was curious why the towelroot was not working uder those conditions. But I guess root is root no matter how you get it

Somehow the new towelroot is not compatible with the i9305. knowing this because it happened to me too . until i decided to try the version 1 and version 2 . and version 2 worked for me. Now i don't see any difference whether you root with odin or with towelroot. Unless you don't want your knox warranty void.. that's the only difference. if you did upgraded to 4.3 and you rooted your device with a different method other than towelroot, it will void your knox warranty.

Try this supersu

Try simply installing this and if it still does not work then wipe the cache and data of supersu remove the version you have installed, reboot and try installing this after that
Be sure usb debugging is enabled in developer options and unknown sources is checked as well.

Usually U r unable to install update while rooted. Check ur version again after updating. In ur case i'd suspected u r still on the same version.
One way to take the updates that u r on stock rom.

Were you able to download today's update, and install it? From what I understand, it will not let you install due to the changes in the system partition due to root.
That's right. He will be able to download the update but not to install it.

Okay, so I've searched and searched and haven't found an answer for this. I have a galaxy s5 I bought from att a while back, I have since unlocked it and switched to t mobile. I'm needing to root it but after I roll back the update with odin (?) then will I be able to upgrade again with the same process? Or is this cross platform fubar not going to work? I need to get my native tethering to work. Thanks for any help that can be provided.

Well for starters, a little more info about the phone would be helpful. What are you currently running, firmware version etc.
Looks like 4.4.2 and it's a g900a. It's also been Sim unlocked and the IMEI had been swapped. But everything else is from the factory AT&T.

If your on 4.4.2 then towel root should work. If it don't then just download the NCE downgrade file from the OP of that same thread and flash using the AP slot in odin 3.09 then use towel root again. I have used that downgrade file and total root numerous times. If your on 5.0 them don't use any of it as it will not work.

Sort of related, but I have an S5 on 4.4.4. I know I will need to downgrade temporally to perform the rooting process (no big deal, I had to do manual tweaking on my DROID 4 during its rooting process), but at this time my phone is unlocked (g900a). Will the process listed in muniz_ri's tutorial ruin the phone's unlocked state? I've never dealt with GSM stuff so this is all new to me.
