Everybody has been fine using towel root and if you're good with Chinese super user good for you but that's the first time since android came out I've ever heard someone prefer Chinese su

There's the tar files you flash in odin, full wipe and no wipe. Surge hasn't updated the OP of that thread in awhile so some of what it says is incorrect but the files are still good of course.

i don't prefer to flash files because this may make soft brick or play with bootloader.
the hateful thing in android is the bootloader especially on samsung devices.much sensitive.

It's a tar file for Odin, samsung's own firmware software. Those are the files and Odin is the tool that saves you from a soft brick.

i know a lot about tar files and i have flashed my phone many times via odin...i didn't use ota...always odin.
but i mean about some custom tar files or unsuitable files may cause soft brick.

I just used Towelroot an SU on Wednesday - no need to use PC at ALL!

hisham2630 · Jun 27, 2014

that's too good.

I'm not following you at all.

You want to root. You started with a program (vroot) which is not known to work on Kit Kat. But you think that it's OK, because it's Chinese. Then you refuse to use Samsung signed factory images to recover your phone. Why? Because they're from Japan?

On a clean NC5 build, Towelroot seems to root just fine. Why not use that?

why are you angry like that.
i didn't refuse to use samsung factory images...i have used them many times to recover from soft brick...i have bricked my phone about 5 times..
this happen because play sytem files or build.prop file.
not matter for me if i used factory images from china or japan....iam not japaness or chiness.
my image was clean but only towel root dosen't work for me so i use the two programs...ok
vroot has been updated to work with kitkat if you have the latest version of it...but on some device may not work properly but it can push su file into /system/xbin....thank you.

Angry? No, just confused as I said. You seemed to be worried about running Odin, an official Samsung application to flash factory stock ROMs but don't seem to have any problems running programs like vroot. Maybe the vroot owners have reformed, so maybe it's time to look. However, it seems very likely that they've just tweaked Towelroot, as vroot couldn't root Kit Kat before Towelroot came out. If so, then they should be telling geohot how to make it work on more models rather than diverting contributions from geohot. But then again, they've never been a part of the community. Their choice, of course.
