So I rooted my GS5 last week and today when I had the phone check for a software update it replied: "The operating system on your device has been modified in an unauthorized way." And then it tells me to use Kies.
The only thing I have done so far is root it. Still running stock ROM.
I downloaded Kies and it says my firmware is up to date, so I'm guessing that T-Mobile doesn't like my rooting the phone.
Comments welcome.
This your first time rooting? I advise you do some reading.

Clearly, the initial user of this thread indicated that he tried using Kies. OTA updates after root are an inherit no-workaround issue. However, new firmware updates should be possible to install, even when root is present. The question is .... how?
Kies goes a step further by reporting "'SM-G900T' does not support initializing."
So.. where do we go? Do we unroot? If so, how? Is there a push workaround or something?

Download this, protect root, download update, restore root. You should be okay.
anyone else having issues updating. It downloads the update and then after reboot it has the android with the gears moving and then it shows a brief android with a red triangle on top of him and then it just reboots back to 4.1.1.

If you want root I would play it safe.
verizon / samsung do follow xda and they have been patching holes within their devices. to be safe you should wait for dev to get this file and give you direction.
a day (maybe two) wait will not hurt you! if you jump, it could be month before you get root back.

Actually I was rooted by root66.zip and everything was fine until I got the update. Now My phone is bootlooping on note 2 logo. would not go to recovery at all. It will go to download mode though. Just warning people who are trying to update and have root66,zip flashed.

can anyone tell me. After getting this file downloaded. Is it easy to make .tar file to flash with odin?
Does anyone have the SystemUI.apk by chance? I did the WiFi toggle hack and thought I backed up the file but no dice. I can't upgrade it keeps erroring out on SystemUI.apk.
Has anyone successfully used OTA Root keeper with this new update? I don't want to be the guinea pig! I've never used it for an OTA, just for temp hiding root.

I posted that for kejar31 and imnuts. They asked for the update.zip.
Title pretty much explains it.
I can't find a guide on how to root my S4 anywhere on the net.
When I tried that one and clicked on superuser, it says "the superuser binary musy be updated" so i click "install" and then it says "There was an error installing Superuser. Please send a log of the error to the developer.
That's basically where i'm stuck at.
My kernel is 3.4.0
Any help would be much appreciated.

Unfortunately I can't post a link. It's not allowed because the root method is questionable. Just do a search for rooting MJ7 and make sure you research as much as possible before you make your decision.

I just received the update as well. It was small. I just clicked check for updates for the first time in a month and was shocked to see my phone found one. Don't know what the changes are yet.
I also got the update and I can't find any update notes anywhere yet. Searched through Verizon and Samsung's websites, nothing is posted yet. I'm guessing it is just a maintenance update.
New build number is JSS15J.I545VRUEMK2
Here's what I found about it.http://www.christianpost.com/news/galaxy-s4-software-update-coming-to-all-carriers-soon-110005/
So, I see it could help with the battery life.
Well I'm rooted and it failed to install so I wonder if the Vroot method will work with the new update or not....

I am rooted MJ7 and this update failed as well. Im sure there will be updates soon. Give it time.
Guys...if your rooted and you accept the OTA you could brick your phone. If your on a custom ROM most dev's remove the files necessary to take the OTA's. Simply be patient and wait for someone to, in the spirit of the holidays LOL :silly: , wrap it in a pretty little zip package then we can flash it via custom recovery.
I cant get the update since im not on MJ7 and no odin tar via kies or vzw update assistant . Someone has to post the update.zip from cache/fota before any analysis/editing can be done.

There is now a method to update while keeping root. See here
source: http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...xy-s4-with-stagefright-patch-and-other-fixes/
this is still 5.0.1 (hence the LRX22C build number) but it fixes the Stagefright vuln as well as other stuff
or it's supposed to fix stagefright... lol. good ol sammy.
anyway, if you want root, don't take this update. be patient.
let the discussion begin!

eh. that didnt really matter.
i have a feeling the conflict with kingroot on oc1 was samsung's auto-updating SELinux stuff. no user intervention, it just runs in the background. although those updates make the samsung keyboard not exploitable. lol.
you have options: root, or have a secure phone. you can't have both.

LRX22C means nothing here (it just signifies 5.0.1, which is what most people are already running). It's what's at the tail end of the build number that counts - OF1. Reread the thread title, the OP and the linked article.

What's StageFright?
So being the n00b that I am, just to clarify, there is no functioning root for the Verizon Galaxy S4 with the specs i have (shown in my updated signature) short of using Odin and reloading 4.0?
Sir_Eagle said:

Click to expand...

i'll try and sum it up
it was a security vulnerability discovered by jduck (Josh Drake) and, basically, someone can send you a malformed video through the MMS protocol and basically, malware would leak into your phone through that video message if it automatically downloaded.
the exploit specifically targets a system lib called "libstagefright.so" (clever name, eh?) and that library handles everything related to video playback. i think.
if you're not going to install of1, the best way to patch it right now would be to disable automatic downloading of mms messages through your messaging client. chompSMS has its own dealio with stagefright tho, and i've been using chomp for forever, so, yea.

uhm
well
if you took oc1 via ota, you could try to root using kingroot desktop, that seems to have mixed results.
if you have the nk4 bootloader, you can downgrade to nc5 and root that using towelroot (easiest method ever)
you can't downgrade to kitkat if you took oc1 via ota
Bren caught the update, but is still uploading it. Hopefully kingroot or something else will get root for others.

honestly, you could "fix" stagefright yourself by disabling automatic downloading of mms in your app

I got an OTA notification this morning to install G900TUVS1FOL1. Went ahead an applied the OTA update and everything seems to be running much better than before. A lot of the lag that I was seeing before is now gone. No word on battery life as I only had the update installed for about 12 hours. Figured I would let people know that there is a new update available. Haven't seen much information posted about it.
I am unrooted BTW, so I can't really answer any questions about that.

hello have a galaxy s5 T-Mobile sm-g900t like that if it were possible postasse how he rootear your most detailed device if the model is the same as mine, have android 5.1.1 g900TUVS1FOL1 from already thank excuse my English'm from Brazil.
Hey gang!
I have the metropcs variant (G900t1) of the Galaxy s5. I downloaded the .tar file. I wiped my phone first (twice for good measure) and rebooted to download mode via TWRP. I *did* uncheck the auto reboot box because I hears odin acts funny around OTA's. After the reboot was done, my phone got stuck on he splash screen for a while. I popped out my battery.
for the record, not a noob but leery about regaining root using cf autoroot.
XDA, check me on this. I want to do this right. =)
I updated via Kies earlier this afternoon. So far it's very snappy.
