(SCH-I545)
I am wanting to root my Verizon S4 and you know, locked bootloader. So I am wondering if there is a way to downgrade to Jellybean or Kitkat to root it and get cyanogen.
So....
No
Yes
NO
You cannot downgrade to kitkat or downgrade your bootloader in general with this phone. There are multiple guides to rooting lollipop, just search in the general section. You cannot get a custom recovery on this phone, only flashfire. Flashfire can only flash touchwiz roms that are specifically designed to do so(and of similar base).

As the title says I'm a noob with non samsung devices.
I updated to 4.3 and unlocked the bootloader thinking it would easier to root the tablet.
What I want is to have a custom recovery and root acces with my stock 10.4.B.0.577 firmware on a 16 gigs wifi only (311) tablet z.
On my moto x I unlocked the bootloader and flashed a stock kernel with a custom recovery and there I flashed super su but I can't find a stock 4.3 kernel for this tab.
I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2590602 guide but I think I wont gain the custom recovery.
Any ideas?
Did I miss any thread?
Little Kernel maybe?
If Little Kernel is the way to go, I'd like to know if it's independent of the android version I'm running.
I'm coming from a GPE S4 so my knowledge is sort of outdated.
My S5 is currently on the NK2 firmware. I'd like to install TWRP, root and then install a custom Lollipop ROM.
-Can I do this and install a Touchwiz based ROM without tripping knox?
-Can I do this and install an AOSP based ROM without tripping knox?
-Are AOSP based ROMs missing any Samsung drivers? I.e. things like Camera. (In other words, would a Touchwiz based ROM have a "better" Camera)

Installing a custom recovery WILL trip Knox. So if you don't want to trip Knox, you options are limited. There is a thread that talks about upgrading to Lollipop without tripping Knox and it talks about using SafeStrap to flash ROMs but that too is limited.
I'm looking for a guide for how to upgrade from a rooted 5.0 based rom to 5.1.1 rom and still have root. I know I need to update the modem and bootloader but I am not sure of the steps.
Disregard. I flashed a modem and bootloader with odin and a 5.1.1 rI'm with twrp. That seemed to work
So I've successfully rooted my Samsung Galaxy S3 from Straight Talk using TowelRoot and have installed SuperSU. I now want to upgarde to KitKat 4.4, but don't know where to start? I've done alot of reading on this and I understand I have to basically download a ROM of KitKat 4.4, but I am wary as to which one to download and how I go about installing it. I don't want to brick my phone.
If that's not possible or too dangerous, I would at least like to remove all the stock bloatware that came with my phone. My baseband/build number ends in H1, if that is relevant at all.
Thanks!
Hey Guys,
I would like to know if there was a way to somehow root my S5 Neo SM-G903F with Knox 0x0. I've tried various Exploits such as Rowhammer and Dirty Cow. Even the Kingo and Kingroot Apps dont work. They stop at 90%. I had an S4 Value Edition once and I discovered a root method with downgrading to 4.4.4 with a old kernel use Towelroot and then use Flashfire to go back to 5.0.1 with Knox Staying Cool and root. But the problem is that i really dont know if my Knox will stay cool after Upgrading to 6.0.1 from 5.1.1 with the same Flashfire method because the root exploits work for lollipop but not for Marshmallow. There were some threads that claimed that root on 6.0 required a modifiyed boot image.
Thank you in advantage for anything that could help me or clarify the 5.0 to 6.0 issue
