Hey guys my wife has a Galaxy S5 and we got unlimited internet so i wanted to root and try to get unlimited hotspot like i got in my lg phone but i have no idea where to start, easier way to root and gain unlimited hotspot is? Thanks!
Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk
There see plenty of threads where the methods on rooting were discussed.
I would start by reading through those for the pluses and minus.
Installing a custom rom will enable the hotspot.

I would suggest trying a custom ROM or if your trying to stay stock but roote w/Hotspot try one of the ROMs from Beans or Keysoh2. I've been running them and had no issue, I also tried the hotspot with no issues.
Look in the Development thread :good:
Hope it helps.
Yeah I have a towel rooted with Knox not tripped and a custom framework in it replaced with root and it works great

If you read Rom specs, you will see that many roms break knox. if they don't, it's for ppl who need an unbroken knox capability (for work, etc.)
Personally, I have found it too much trouble to be worthwhile. Every time I've made a mod for unlimited hot-spot (and it worked); it only worked for a while. Eventually the phone companies close the vulnerability, then hackers hack it, ad infinitum....
I'm still looking for a way to keep knox 0x0 but rooted, I don't need anything else. I really don't care if knox is tripped except my Samsung AllCast Hub won't work if rooted so I have to hide it
I flashed ne6 (I think that is the right version) then rooted with towelroot. I use mobile Odin pro to upgrade to newer versions of software to keep root and just replace framework with one that allows tethering

OK. I am going to provide as much detail as I can for now. Please let me know what additional information will help you help me. Thanks
I have a S4 for Verizon. I have been trying to root it so I can load the Google edition image on it. However, none of the tutorials I have seen seem to work on my device. I bought it brand new direct from Samsung off contract (didn't want to loose my unlimited data) so I don't think I can get a warranty replacement through Verizon (haven't rooted it yet). The furthest I seem to get is that SuperSU gets installed but will not download the binaries. So I cannot continue with the rest if the steps with rooting and re-imaging. Also, most steps have you install a specific kernal version as the first step but not sure if that is happening because my screen don't look the same as the ones in the tutorials.
Phone: SCH-1545
OS ver: 4.3
Kernal: 3.4.0
Build: JSS15J.1545VRUEMJ7
HW ver: 1545.06
Thanks.

Just so you know, the only thing available for MJ7 build is root. Installing a custom recovery or custom ROMs is not possible at this time.

No. Once the phone is updated, there is no way to go back.
As I stated above, all we can do is root. With root we can debloat and use Xposed framework to make some changes.

It's Verizon, they lock down every phone they sell. You have to do research before you buy your phone if you want custom software on Verizon, or switch carriers.

I know Verzon sucks in that regard but the service is awesome. I get full 4G coverage just about everywhere and I've got unlimited data still. Plus, I didn't buy it from them, I payed full price from an online vendor so that I wouldn't have to change my contract.
Oh well, guess I'll just have to keep an eye out for when someone finally cracks it.
I hate waiting....
Hi guys, I recently flashed a 4.3 official ROM and all of a sudden had aquired Samsung Knox, now although this will not get rid of theknox count in download mode it will allow you to disable Knox and continue to use it in a normal way without it interferring with apps asking for super user status. If you have super SU then open it up and it should detect you have knox installed, it will then ask if you want to disable it, hit yes and let the app do its work.....................that should sort you out, it did me on a gt-9300/05
Hope that helps someone? Cheers

Yeah, fair comment, ive actually worded and typed that incorrectly, i actually aquired knox by mistake when trying to root my phone, I was looking for the root file and i came across a post on this site about a program that can root any phone so i gave it a go, didnt end up with root but had knox instead! not cool! lol
i have a knox on my galaxy s3 that keeps boring me

For the time since having an android phone I haven't rooted on day 1. But this horrible tether limit is getting annoying and I think I'm going to root. I haven't yet because of this Knox business, if were not any closer to rooting without tripping the Knox I'm going to do it tonight..
Does anyone know of anyone working on a way to root without tripping it yet?? Or does it look like its not going to happen???
Thanks

As far as I know the Note 3 had knox implemented in an ota update, meaning its software based. The S5, however, has a hardware implementation in the form of an efuse which blows when a non samsung signed kernel is flashed. At least thats my understanding

No I had my facts slightly wrong. You're right it does have the efuse and can now be rooted without tripping knox but custom recoveries will still trip it.

Screw it, thats what I think at least. Personally, I don't ever see me needing to get warranty on this phone. As for the Jump plan I have, they never checked a thing when I went in, so I assume I'll be good when that happens. I ahve insurance so even if it did break/malfunction, I'll just break it and pay the 150.00 bucks

a person I know tripped a knox in....note 2 i think? swapped it with a new note 2 because he dropped it. when he went to get the note 3, Tmobile declined him unless if he paid up front because of the knox. he used insurance to get it switched out. So they do check at some point it seems and note you.
Watch out, they will be checking

You may have skipped by and got lucky like me the first time, but I know for a fact that the policy of the Jump company is telling them to check the KNOX counter. I believe and was told at the TMO store that they will be checking and are required to check otherwise the Jump program will take the money from TMO. So TMO is now going to hold employees accountable who do not check to see if KNOX is tripped and JUMP catches it. Just saying, hate to waste one hundred and fifty dollars every time I jump! It's bad enough just paying the damn sales tax! Then buying all the extras like a case, battery, etc.

You realize Knox was not on my Galaxy Note 3 when I received it, it came almost six months later. It is now a hardware, firmware feature of the phone and the TMO stores will be checking for it. We all got lucky this last time around but it will not be so when it comes time to Jump again. So be aware of that and find other ways to replace your phone or you'll be paying extra every time.

For me, flashing Philz custom recovery through ODIN did not trip my bootloader's knox counter. I thought it was very odd and that maybe I got lucky. Then I flashed the SU zip file through the custom recovery and then my counter was tripped.
Instead of doing an insurance replacement, you could just do a free warranty replacement to get a phone without knox tripped.
Don't mean to troll, but on a side note, we poor AT&T S5 folks are waiting for even a very basic root
Hey all, excuse my ignorance but I have searched and still am kind of confused. I'm going to grab a phone on Verizon prepaid next week and would like to get the Galaxy S6 Edge, but am still kind of confused with what's going on in the development scene. Mainly I want root and a custom recovery. I'm OK with touchwhiz and a stock ROM, especially if I can get rid of some bloat, but really need root and recovery. WHere I am confused is that I don't know what version of the Edge I will get and if full root will be available and if I will run into any problems that will prevent root. It seems like the smart thing to do would be to get the Nexus 6 for root/ROMs/Bootloader, but I really like the S6 Edge and would love to grab it if it will work.

Basically if it has built of1 or newer it can't be done. If your getting a new one it's probably been updated. Oe3 and oe2 you can root. It's been awhile since the of1 update and nobody has found a way to root. You can't flash down either.

Don't forget that a custom recovery will trip knox as well, so if root is acquired, think twice before installing one.

No issues I bet. But probably a difficult process to get there. T-Mobile seems the best for modification, but anyhow, the s6 edge plus just has a hard lockdown because of Verizon making modification difficult, I looked at the T-Mobile variant forumns and they have a custom kernel and a few stock based modified roms
Hopefully is just a matter of time then. Thanks for the info. In the meantime I downloaded Package Disabler Pro and disabled a bunch of bloatware.
Well if you don't care about texting and talking, the tmobile variants do work with Verizon 4g. I've tested and it connects just fine.

to my knowledge i thought even if it did get rooted that it would no longer boot up on vzw/att? pretty sure youd need an unlocked BL regardless which most likely will not happen.. hasnt happened on vzwsammy since early s4 days lol
I don't think these phones have a good chance of getting root unless a universal method like towel root is discovered. Development is pretty much stagnant in the Verizon variants of these phones.
