Now, do we care if it trips Knox, and how long does anyone think it will be before someone creates a Knox reset??
BTW, is this just the stock firmware/rom or is it pre-rooted??

I have made a rooted version of your Odin but don't have my S5 to test yet. Anyone willing to test?
Also anyone taking the new update may want to hold off as Odin probably won't downgrade.
Thank You sir

It's not impossible but I do remember ChainFire saying its not going to be likely anytime soon nor does he care for making one.Which I can agree with his reasons. You can read more information on his international S5 Root thread. ina nut shell i wouldn't be surprised if there isn't a Knox reset as it has hardware related connections now i believe.
Who really cares about KNOX!!! If you do care, why not just leave your device alone. It would be nice if people who cared about tripping KNOX had a thread of their own. I'm just saying......
Here is a Mirror in case anyone wants it Hosted on my Server!

I really don't care myself about tripping knox.... I do think someone should make a thread with sticky just for it though. Personally, I use Tmo as this is the thread for it and pay the dumb extra money for insurance in case i blow up my phone.... I will just if @#$% hits the fan send it in for repair making up some stupid reason...
At least from what I am hearing we are not having a locked BL that I hear ATT users are getting.

Tmo Galaxy S5
Chainfire states on his thread the bootloader was locked we wouldn't have been able to gain root via Cf-Root. I have two T-Mobile S5 and both are rooted. So let's hope that is correct.
With root access I am still able to access my Private Mode as well, which some maybe having troubles with.
Enjoy and get this phone if you haven't got it, it is worth it!

Selective Focus
I was having a problem getting Selecting focus to work on the S5 I purchsed thru "pre-order". It just never recognized what I was trying to take a picture of - and so the feature never worked. Last night I decided to flash the Tar you posted of the stock rom to see if it would help.
I odined the taf - then rooted with ChainFires CF Autoroot - then added Phils CWS custom Recovery - then when I went to the camera and tried ot do some photos using "selective focus" it worked for the first time since I bought the phone. I don't know why selective focus didnt work when I first tried to use it - but I am grateful that I was able to get it working.
Thanks for getting the Stock Tar for us - It also gives me a little security in case i screw somethign up and need to return to stock - lol -
I'm going to go ahead and downlod the stock and rooted TAR tonight and see what happens..
Got your PM Mr. Impossible.
Anyone flashed this yet to test?? I'm about to flash the rooted test TAR... Worst case I still have my S4 to fall back on until something is revised but I'd like to not have to lol..

Hey Guys if you read this article you will see that in the new OTA it will unlock LTE band 4.
So here is my question... Being MDK LOKI rooted will I be able to flash the modem and get the band 4 or will there be stuff in the kernel that we will need?
My real question is.. will we be able to use the new Band 4 eventually being rooted?
+1 for this question also. Being rooted on mdk with recovery I am getting close to letting go for 4.3 cause I have a gear watch that's doing nothing. I haven't needed any ROMs since my x and RAZR, so I could settle with root only but would b nice to keep most and reap the benefits without selling out my mdk framework. I'll grab beans or cm10 at that point. I know its a tough question without a sign of the ota yet
We just have to wait till some of the devs get a hold of the OTA and tear it apart.

For what it's worth, someone posted a link to the OTA file and I downloaded it. It looks like the modem file is done via a patch instead of the OTA including an actual flashable .bin file. I'm guessing someone will have to install the OTA and pull the modem file from the phone itself.
I came to ask this same question. For once, the stock rom has something I want that I can't get. It's usually the other way around. I'm sure the devs will have a flashable file to get LTE band 4 sometime soon. And that's why I love the android developer community!

Exactly. We need someone who took the ota and kept root before anything can be done.

Sprint has disabled it until you pay for the service. The flashable hot spot mod is deff the way to go. I don't even get LAN errors through Xbox live with 4G. Someone more helpful will chime in with a link soon.

really depends on if you care about knox being flagged. if you do i dont think there is any option to root as of yet. i believe cf auto root trips knox. of you dont care you hae a world of options. keep in mind any recovery cwm philz or twrp will trip knox....as well as any custom kernels. so let me know what way you wanna go.

So far so good
I gave the towel apk a try and I must say an excellent and easy root . I went from slim rom back to nc5 stock uprooted . Down loaded root checker pro then from the stock browser I downloaded the apk file . No problems with my reinstall of twrp. No problems flashing a new rom . Will say that busy box needs to be reinstalled but having no problems at all :good:

Did it reset your Knox counter when you rooted with towelroot? If so, did the counter stay at 0x0 after you reinstalled TWRP? I'm already rooted and using TWRP so the only advantage to me would be to clear that Knox counter.
Well I have never been concerned with knox so I didn't notice an actual 0x0 but I will say all Samsung apps updated. Also I had no warnings on boot . Until flashing a kernel . Unless I've been told wrong that has little to do with my equipment replacement warranty so my thing with knox is solved with a??

I could be wrong, but this is only a root method that does not trip knox. It is not meant to reset knox. It is being marketed as a root method.

Am I wrong in thinking that rooting isn't what trips KNOX, it's the installing of a custom recovery? I am very excited that this easy root is available and it wont trip KNOX but wont I need a custom recovery in order to flash a custom ROM or anything for that matter. I just want to figure this out before rooting my device.

So if anyone has a link to tell me otherwise i would love to know why Knox is such a concern . i got my note a few weeks after the release and tripped my knox asap .1. if your in contract you most likely have a warranty so bust the sucker into bits and learn a lesson . No updates from sprint or samsung the problem so what !!! i have yet to see an ota compare to the custom roms i run and eventually we will get the update/feature . The absolute only down side i see at this point is most likely the replacement note3 wont have the snapdragon or will it ? sprint usually sends you a refurb . I really ask this honestly I have been flashing for 4 years and barely could chicken peck the keys on my pc when i started . my day to day job is as a master plumber so i never touch computers , but 4 years later and going through an evo,epic 4g touch / briefly a s3 AND A NOTE 3 ON SPRINT NO LESS . I HAVE YET TO SCREW UP MY SAMSUNGS SO BAD THEY TRUELY HARD BRICKED. Im a risk taker I used towel 10 min after i first heard of it . My advice to a total noob is if you think you bricked but it comes on at all its not a brick give it 2 or three days and do your home work most likely a fix will be or is available . If its as sammy from sprint rwilco12 repository is a life saver . Please let me know what IS the trip in tripping knox if any one can and happy flashing. :good: :laugh: took me all them years to finally post in the forums lmao
My att note 3 is giving me too much trouble with gps. I'm giving up on it. Thinking about getting the tmobile s5 instead of att for the unlocked bootloader. I'm just trying to find myself root and recovery guides but I don't see them .. Please point me in the right direction

With this you'll still need to odin the recovery. So exactly trigger knox ? I think I'll just odin the recovery, not bother with rooting the stock rom, and just flash a rom

Odin the recovery? no... if you're on the latest ROM already, all you do is Odin the NE6 kernel given in the post, run towelroot, verify root, Odin NK2 kernel back and bam! rooted the latest NK2 ROM with KNOX intact.

I understand how the method works. It's like they can't root the latest kernel or something so revert back for root and come back. My point is if your final goal isn't just a rooted stock phone, there is almost no point in this ? Because since the phone doesn't have a looked bootloader you can just odin a recovery and flash a rom without rooting first

well yeah, no point in this if you're looking for more than a rooted stock phone...
Nice, this is my first time getting a tmobile device. So tired of att lock down. Can't wait for a real recovery on a good phone
Bump so I can find this easy in a few days.m
Will CF auto root would it be able to root android 5.0.1. I really do not care about the Samsung knots being trigger my phone is already out of warranty. I just have insurance if it gets stolen or I drop it in water. Or should I wait until they find a root method without triggering Samsung knots. I read about triangle away but like I said at this point I can careless if it gets trigger. What are you guys opinion?
The first rule of XDA is - Search.

As of now, if you took the OTA and did not preserve root, there is no root method available. Also, "Knox"

First of all I did search. I spent 2 days searching. So i figured i had the right to ask.

No root for OC1 unless you took the neutered tar through odin or used a ROM from @gigilie or another dev .

Thank you. I was did preserve root. for lollipop but what happen I let my nephew play on my phone and he ran safestrap and i was stuck in a bootloop. I couldn't get it out no matter what. I was in the bootloader OC1. I was one of the guys that help Muniz achieve root for everyone. We were having Wifi issues but i told him i would upgrade my bootloader to help if it would fix it. but it was the kernel. So i needed to used samsung kies to get my back up. So thats how I lost root. But thank you for your help.

Fyi...... @dgutierrez04 was the guy that pulled the OC1 ota update for me when no one else could due to the two part 5.0 update. He also took one for the team during testing of the OC1, Stock Rooted ROM so many of you enjoy today by updating his bootloader to OC1.
I assume he has no backup phone.
That said, it seems a lot of people have to use Kies... as Odin reports fails...
I did not root my I545 verizon so now I have lollipop oc1. My question is should I not take the next upgrade for lollipop or at this point does it make a difference as far as getting root?
Thoughts are more than welcome

No I do not have a backup phone. But hey that's how we learn. I will do it again for the community if I can capture again the update and test it for everyone I would. I am a te player. I wish I could built roms but I'm not that smart lol.

I suggest is to wait and hope they can find a root method and try to avoid future updates as off right now. That's what I would suggest you doing as for me I will be doing the same.

Neither am I(smart enough for a ROM build). As much as I love Unix, it isn't a full time playground. Still loving Visual Basic and batch...
