Root AT&T and Verizon Galaxy S5 without Voiding KNOX

Rakesh | 16 Jun 2014 | Root/ Samsung

Root AT&T and Verizon Galaxy S5

Most of the Samsung Galaxy devices from Verizon are considered tough to root. We see working root methods coming for new devices coming even before their official release but when it comes to rooting a new Verizon phone, things develop pretty sluggishly. The users of  AT&T and Verizon Galaxy S5 had been waiting for months for a root exploit to arrive. And, at a time when most users had almost given up dreaming about rooting their phone, well-known developer Geohot has come up with an assertion of hope. Towelroot can root AT&T and Verizon Galaxy S5 and a bunch of other Android devices.

Yes, the AT&T and Verizon Galaxy S5 can finally be rooted using Geohot’s Towelroot exploit. And thus, it has now become possible to do things you could only dream of so far but couldn’t realize it.

Actually, Towelroot is a sort of universal root-tool that can obtain root access on a number of Android devices including Galaxy S4 Active, Nexus 5, AT&T Note 3, Verizon Note 3 and almost all phones with a kernel build date prior to June 3, 2014. Due to the difference in the way they mount the system partition, Towelroot cannot root the newest HTC and Motorola phones. The only new thing is that Geohot has just added AT&T and Verizon Galaxy S5 root support to his Towelroot.

Confirmed Working Root on Following Devices

Towelroot has been reported working on the following devices so far! In most cases, these device run Android 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 KitKat. The exploit might not work with certain firmware versions and Exynos variants of Galaxy devices!

Note: The list provided below is based on the feedback back of people who used Towelroot and reported successful root on their respective devices.

If your device is not listed above, Towelroot might still work for you. Just give it a try, but at your own risk!

Root AT&T and Verizon Galaxy S5 and Other Devices

Rooting the Verizon and AT&T Galaxy S5 or any other supported Android device with Towelroot is very easy. All you need to do is to install an APK on your phone and tap a button inside the app. The best part is, Towelroot does not trip KNOX on Samsung devices. Even after rooting your phone, the KNOX WARRANTY VOID should show 0 x 0.

  1. Download the latest Towelroot app by clicking the Lambda symbol. If you encounter issues while downloading from the official site, download Towelroot.apk (v1) or Towelroot v3.
  2. Copy the APK to your device.
  3. Go to Settings and check Unknown Sources option under Settings> Security. You can also enable this option while installing TowelRoot.
  4. Now navigate to tr.apk and install it. If you see security bypass warning from Google while installing the app, select Install anyway.towelroot install warning
  5. Now launch Towelroot app and tap make it ra1n button to root your phone.root at&t galaxy s5 towelroot
  6. Your phone should reboot automatically. When it boots up, download the latest SuperSU zip from Chainfire’s website.
  7. Unzip it, open the common folder and copy Superuser.apk to your phone.superuser apk
  8. Now install Superuser.apk file and open it from the app drawer. Update the SU Binary if prompted:update su binary
  9. When it’s installed, open SuperSU from app drawer and update it to the latest version from the Play Store: [googleplay url=”https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu”]

Done! Start enjoying root access on your AT&T/Verizon Galaxy S5 with KNOX warranty intact. To confirm root access, you can install Root Checker app from the Play Store.[googleplay url=”https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck”]

Warning!

If you don’t want to lose root access on your phone, avoid taking official OTA updates as most likely they will come with a fix for the exploit.

Disable Security Policy Update on AT&T Devices

In case you own an AT&T variant of the Galaxy S5 or Note 3 and want to disable security policy updates from AT&T, here are the steps to do that. We assume that you have already rooted your device.

  1. Download and install Root Browser from the Play Store: [googleplay url=”https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.root.browserfree”]
  2. Now open the app and grant it root access when you are prompted.
  3. Navigate to system/priv-app folder.
  4. Now look for the following files:
    • SPDClient.apk
    • SPDClient.odex
  5. Tap and hold each file name one by one, select Rename option and add a .bak extension to each of them.spd client at&t galaxy s5
  6. Having renaming the SPDClient files, exit Root Browser and reboot your phone.

Done! Now, you’ll not get those irritating security policy update notifications anymore. Enjoy!

    Hi

    Juz want to share this piece of info for all those who want to safely root their Note 3 N9005 without tripping knox flag. Towel root is applicable to those with firmware updates < June 3, 2014. So for all those having N9005XXUGNG1 firmware released in August, 2014, the simple trick is to simply downgrade to previous kernel version, towel root installation and then flashing back your current kernel. This is a must try as I personally tested it and Check it our here:

    simply awesme method…:)

      Go to system/apps and add a .bak or any extension after the apk with software update in it. I don’t remember the exact name but if you do some digging, you’ll find it.

        Either after 1) (successfully) using towelroot, 2) renaming the SPDClient.apk file to .bak, or 3) installing and using the NextApp SDFix ap that re-enables apps’ ability to write to the SD card, my Verizon Galaxy S5 reads Device Status Custom now. I have not installed a custom rom or anything. Is this an indication that Knox is tripped?

        Thanks.

    I love how easy it is to root your phone with this. But i had to Factory reset my phone a few days ago b/c my phone was messing up. When i got an system update its 183.46.15.XT907.Verizon.en.US. Its for the Verizon Droid Razr M XT907 on 4.4.2. It worked before i factory reset my phone. The problem i am running into is that with V1 of Towel Root it just sits there and doesn’t reboot. But with V3 of Towel Root it says my phone is not supported. Should i reset my phone and then after i reset it go straight into Towel Root and try to root it before i update the System or should i just ignore the System update. If there is a way that i can root my phone and update the system please let me know. Thanks for help.

    Hi, downloaded both TowelRoot and SU (as that hopefully would show me what happened) on my LG70 (running Android 4.4.2 and Kernel version 3.4.0). Both apps run but won’t install as I get a “Not enough room to install” message. Now I am pretty sure this is a security feature (phone is not linked to a carrier, btw) but as its not a Samsung, I don’t think KNOX is running on it.

    Has anyone seen this before and knows of a way to circumvent this, so I can finally get rid off Google app bloath?

    Rakesh, thx for a great article. To try to help out, I’m listing a small tip about KNOX. When SuperSU ran the 1st time, it asked about disabling KNOX. I allowed it to but the process seemed to hang, the turning circle never stopped so I loaded RootChecker and ran it. It said root was successful. So tried to run SuperSU again but it was hanging again. A reboot fixed it all. That is, after the reboot, running SuperSU asked again to disable KNOX and allowing it succeeded.

      Edge is much slower than 3G, 4G or WiFi and it is really not ideal for watching videos. If you call your data connection slow for that reason, it’s not an issue at all.

    Ok so i rooted my SM-G900V but when i went to install superSU I clicked TWRP/CWM. Does that mean i triggered Knox and voided my warranty. And if i did can i get Knox back and get my warranty back?

      Hi Austin, you would not be able to install CWM or TWRP because your device has KNOX bootloader. Just enjoy root till some workaround turns up.

    I’m not able to download the towel root app. Everytime time I click on the lambda, a page opens with a bunch of characters.

    Just wanted to give another thumbs up to a successful root! I’m using Verizon’s S4 (SCH-I545) and it was quick and painless! Now I can run AdFree to get rid of those annoying ads and use other apps (like Tasker) with root functions I had before!

          Well, custom ROM requires a custom recovery and that does trip KNOX. There is no custom recovery available for Sprint S5 right now. You can try root apps though: https://www.droidviews.com/best-apps-for-rooted-android-devices/

            The KNOX bootloader is highly coded for security reasons by Samsung. Nobody has been been able to break into that yet so that the bootloader is unlocked. You’ll have to wait till some miracle happens.

    If towelroot is successful your phone will NOT reboot after tapping the “make it ra1n” button! If it reboots, chance are the root attempt has failed. I used it on my Galaxy S3, and it worked fine. SuperSU was able to disable KNOX and update itself, and all is good.

    Note that the build date on your kernel (found in “about phone” in settings) has to be earlier than June 3 for this to work.

    Does TR works with knox v2.0. Got an I9505 (XXUFNC4) with 4.4.2 on it. Today i got window with some minor update that changes KNOX to v2.0, adds kidmode and better energy management.
    Meaning knox got improved and TR won t work for now or am i assuming wrong? That s better energy management is tempting but dunno if it s safe for my root. Thanks in advance.

    If I root the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 is it a definite promise that doing so won’t void my warranty? How can you check if it is voided or not? Or will it set off Samsung Knox when I give super user permission to an application?

      Based on personal experience, it’ll not void KNOX warranty. However, when it comes to custom development of Android, everything is indefinite.

          Having rooted the device, turn off the device and press and hold the Volume down + Home +Power buttons for 2-3 seconds, on the warning screen, press Volume up to enter download mode. You can see KNOX warranty status at the top of the screen. It should show 0 x 0.

            Normally we do it by pulling out the battery but you have a tab, so you can do it by pressing and holding the power button till the device reboots.

      You’d need to unlock the bootloader to install CWM… even if towelroot doesn’t trip Knox, unlocking the bootloader might.

          Well right now I don’t think you can with the S5. Generally speaking, you can do it using adb and fastboot (there are a million how-tos on this), and apparently there’s an app that can lock and unlock your bootloader from within android, but I haven’t ever used it.

          As I remember, you have the UK version of S4, right? In that case you device should already have an unlocked bootloader. Still you cannot install a custom recovery without tripping KNOX.
