I've tried using Xposed and editing the text file (gpio-keys.kl) through root explorer, neither of them work. Does someone have a solution?

This thread, ctrl+f "home key" that method worked for me
Can you explain the ctrl+f "home key" method? I don't have much time to decompile and compile jar files like the thread explains.

From what I have seen it can be rather difficult to take the 4.4.2 update. I am rooted using the methods from jcase and am currently on 4.4 with the correct bootloaders for the update. I have been using xposed and I know I need to flash the xposed disable zip file, but how do I do that without having TWRP or CWM? I think I have done everything else needed to get take the update (removed superuser app and turned off all root permissions.)is there anything else that needs to be done besides disable xposed?
Can anyone confirm towelroot working?

Works good you need to use the updated SuperSU and it's good to roll. I'm on NC9 should work with the newest one also.here is the link to both supersu http://download.chainfire.eu/447/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip and towelroot http://towelroot.com/

Confirming that tr works on NE3 (I537). I am (was?) completely stock before installing towelroot.
So I install towelroot, reboot, then install super user via google play? Correct? Any known issues so far?

towelroot installs superuser and it's an old one.so what I did was install Safestrap and flashed SuperSU through the stock slot and am up to date.

Works good for me. Used the SU update zip on here...

Download, open folder, open "common" file, click superuser.apk icon and install. This is good for those who don't want to install SafeStrap.

Towelroot Working
Yes I just did mine and it works. I'm having trouble with Super SU. Message comes up to disable KNOX. It's been trying to disable for 30 minutes. Not sure if there's a newer version of Super SU or maybe AT&T put a tougher version of KNOX in the update but seems to be stuck "disabling".
Update: I went back to home screen then a few minutes later started Super SU, got the prompt to disable KNOX and this time it worked.
Hey all I was browsing around other galaxy s devices forums stumbled across this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783157. Now I downloaded the towel root and it worked great I'm not on the latest Ota but it should work with that as well. Make sure you use the latest so from here http://download.chainfire.eu/447/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip. I just extracted it and used the apk file with great success. No more flashing back and forth in odin.
Added TetheringProvision.apk use root explorer and go to system/apps/ and change the tethering apk and odex to .bak and paste the one posted here. Make sure to change permissions to rx-r-r restart phone and Hotspot should enable or at least it does here.

Just used it on mine and it worked just as advertised!
I have taken the latest OTA update (I was previously on the pulled 4.4.2 and then received the 60-someodd MB update last week).
Also adding in that the device still shows official on the status page. I didn't verify the knox counter for myself, but the tr author shows that it did not trip his.

Can you elaborate on the "change permissions to rx-r-r"? How do you do that?
Thanks.:good:

Firstly mount system in whatever file manager you use after giving it root access. Navigate to system/app long press on the apk. Select option to change permissions. On ES file Manager which I suggest you use,look at pic below it will show you what boxes to select.
I gave this a try on the newer NE9 with no luck. It doesn't get past the AT&T "verification" that I have tethering on my plan.
Any ideas?
Tried this on a stock I9295 running 4.2.2 but SU wont install binary as it says it cant. Tried Busybox installer and it says the phones rooted but fails when trying to install any busybox version. Anyone else tried on 4.2.2 with success?
EDIT : Tried again on stock 4.4.2 and it works perfectly

I believe this is for the i537 (USA AT&T version of the S4 Active) and not the international i9295 version
Success!! I was able to root and use the tethering application using the instructions above. I have the NE3 version.
It does ask you to call 611 when you turn on the hotspot though...but the it connects a few seconds later and stays on.
Is there a way to prevent the annoying message to call 611 when you turn on the tethering app?
Thanks again.
I rooted using the keep root from NC2 to NL1 method.
I was wondering specifically if Xposed will work as well as custom themes or roms?
I don't have safestrap anymore because it doesn't work on 4.4.4 but I still have root.
On a side note is there any way to hack and slash your way to making tap to pay with google wallet work?
Is there anybody on here who has a modified tethering app for a Samsung SGH-I537 running on KitKat(4.4.2) so I can bypass this carrier verification crap. I've tried the pre-rooted flashfire method and it just won't flash this phone for some reason. Or if anybody has a pre-rooted package for Lollipop to flash in w/ Odin that would be great too.
