Is anyone interested in rooting this device? Too bad sprint has managed to lock up this device. This would be a great device with Xposed installed and the native hotspot. Too bad you can't even get root. Info from any developer would be greatly appreciated.
I've been looking for it on every corner of Internet, hehe
I hope there can be some way to do it because i'm tired of looking for it!
yea
idk what it means

Thank you for this. Your tutorials are always the easiest to follow. I'm glad you're a fellow HTC One user.
Thanks qbking, your vids are always great and very clear. They helped me set up adb and the SDK a while back. :thumbup:

Thanks for this. Was hoping for a non-root tethering option that actually worked. I've rooted my past 3 phones, but trying to live without it... as long as I can handle it
Actually, I don't see any need to root and rom with Sense 5, I personally like it and it's stable for me. I'm only missing some seldomly used root apps. Tethering is the only reason I have right now to actually break and root. Just trying to not do that this time around.

Bloatware is always nice to remove.
Thanks
Great instructions, easy to follow... now rooted!
Good to see you here QBKing77
Much appreciated! I was able to root and install recovery with these instructions. Have you any more tips or videos on the horizon for us new One owners?
I like how the One beat the S4 on the fresh unboxing benchmark test you conducted on the S4 video.

Yep there will be more soon!
have you played around with any of the kernels or roms? im getting my sprint one this week and i was just wondering if there were any you recommend. as far as roms go ive been looking at viperRom or Tranquility. i figured i should start with sense-based and see how like it. for kernels im thinking of going with wolfpack. elementalx looks good but it says its not compatible with the sprint version. any thoughts?

My thoughts too. Though I will probably root once HTC stops supporting the device.

Thanks qb!
Tim your videos are second to none in my opinion. I have used them to advance my abilities and build my confidence as far as rooting / flashing etc. Thanks and keep up the good work...
still works?
Hi guys,
I have a sprint HTC one running: HTC Sense 5, Andriod 4.4.2, Software Ver. 4.06.651.9
I was wondering, does the original post still work on getting free hotspot ?
Thanks
I have looked over several pages and have not come across anything with good solid information or facts. I have a ATT S5 G870A (S5 Active). It has Android 5.0 on it. I have several questions actually.
1. Can you root this device on 5.0? I cant find anything on an active version. If so, can you point me to some good simplified layman terms instructions?
2. If not, how do I downgrade it.
After getting to a state where it is possible to root it. What do i need to complete that task? I am looking at getting Twisted Lolipop ROM on this device (IF IT IS POSSIBLE). That is the goal anyway. For some reason that ROM sticks out to me after reading about all of them. galaxys5root.com/sm-g900f-galaxy-s5-custom-roms/twi5ted-lollipop-rom-for-galaxy-s5/[/url]
I have watched the video on that site and it doesn't give out hardly any information. I am not even 100% sure it will work on an active on ATT. I dont want to trust some kid on youtube trying to tell me how to flash my phone without knowing if it is correct or not.
I am terribly sorry in advance if it has been asked before, but there are several discussions here, and lots have been updated somewhere in the hundreds of pages of information contained within them.
Thank you in advance,
Josh.
If u have bootloader 0c5 u can down grade then root the active.
If u have bootloader 0f2, 0f3 no u can not. There's no root for those yet.

I assume it's the last 3 of the loader #'s. ? Mine says 0f3 . That stinks. Phone is a year old and still can't root it. I'll get a new phone before a root comes out...lol. Thanks for any information, or if there is another way I'd surely appreciate it. Got a super nice phone and its slower than christmas. Too much junk and fluffy stuff installed from factory I guess.

Thank you. Is there a good way to back up the entire phone that is pretty easy in case I disable something that shouldn't be? I enabled the system processes in developing menu and thy wrestling are a lot of things running and lots of red at the top (assuming that is for the processors). And I don't have a whole phone full of games installed. Facebook, messenger, snap chat, a weather app. Then a few other random apps like a steak n shake app. No games at all.
Is there a way to root my verizon s6 edge, g925vvru4bog9. And does it really matter if I end up tripping Knox?
No root available if your phone is on Android 5.1.1

Alright, thanks. Do you know when they could possibly come out with one?

Not sure. I'm just watching the forums for news.
Waiting for root as well, really not digging the bloated stock ROM. Wonder if there's at least a way to disable OTA update checks so it doesn't keep bugging us to update

You need to disable DT Ignite.
Read this article for a good summary. Basically, it allows carriers to load apps without your permission.

Yeah I'm pretty upset I accidentally clicked yes on the OTA. I just got the edge 6 today and was really looking forward to rooting it. So pissed it's now on 5.1.1, on to the waiting game...

Good read, i'll check it out and disable it. Verizon's done enough damage, they need to stay the hell off my phone and just provide cell service i'm paying for lol

Couldn't agree with you more. I mean their service is excellent but all these limitations are not appreciated. But I guess that's what bands us together to keep on searching for ways to seek freedom between the cracks.
Hi guys,
I had been searching around but I get a little confuse about it. I own the AT&T Samsung S5 Active. I attached a picture with the info from the settings. I would like to root it, so I can remove all the app that I don't use. I'm not able to update any app anymore since there is no room in the little space that is designated for it anymore.
Is there any safe way to root, update and customize it?
Thank you.
I've been trying to figure this out too but the simple fact is all of the articles that I found on this topic are horrendously out of date and to the best of my knowledge everyone else seems to think it's impossible I would really like to see someone reply with the up-to-date rooting method preferably one that does not trip the Knox switch. I mean let's face it it's been a couple of years since I last looked into this more than enough time for hackers to come up with a new exploit
It's been stated many times there currently is no known root method for the active ....
Well, time to start looking for something new then.

Is there for an inactive s5
I am interested in rooting my Samsung S6. I have been curious about the process on Android phones for a while. I am currently experimenting with Android development and would like to learn as much about the concepts as possible. My questions are; if you root a device as mine can you later go back to their (AT&T, Samsung) factory setup? I mean like what the phone came new from AT&T? Is there a way to back this state up so I can return to it? Any suggestions or information is cool. Thanks

ODIN back to Stock is how you get back to original.
Now the bad news. The ATT S6 cannot be rooted unless it has very old firmware on it. I think it was back in the 5.0.x days.
I never rooted it so I cannot remember for sure.

That's cool; it is good to know this stuff before trying to do what is impossible. I have an S5 I could try, or I will just acquire a model that is good for rooting. I am interested in the concepts here, not so much fixing anything with my device (although that would be cool also). Could you recommend one? Why when using a program that backs up the Android (BackupTrans WhatsApp Backup) did I get a message that says "You need to root this phone"? Then it gave me steps showing how to do it. Are they just not aware of the limitations of this model (S6 AT&T)? Thanks

I do not know about the S5. The ATT S3 is still getting updates and is rootable. They have Nougat firmware they are developing.
Most likely the software did not have something right. There are several versions of the S6, but the ATT version has a locked bootloader now.

I am imagining that there must be a way (website or something) to plug in some numbers from the back of it, to figure out what version you have? I mean something that lets you know what's possible? Thanks

First simple check is in Settings-About Device
If it states Model Number is SAMSUNG-SM-G920A it is the ATT version.
Also, on the back of mine there is a label near the bottom. It is hard to read (faint), but it also states SM-G920A
Check those first.
