GEOHOT and ATT S5 ROOT (Towelroot) and Works on i337 NC1 phone as well!!!
- Thread starter RockRatt
- Start date
So... did the towelroot on my ATT I337 S4 (NC1), reboot, installed SuperSU (June 18 update on Play), ran it, allowed it to download/install binaries, and it said it would disable knox. IT's been stalled on that "Disabling Knox" screen for more than 5 minutes. What should I do at this point?
The phone isn't dead or anything... it times out the screen and lets me wake it back up.... just SuperSU is kind of stuck.
Looking for the best next action. Thanks!
EDIT: After a while I just rebooted the phone. Everything ran smoothly after that. SuperSU disabled Knox without incident, and Root Checker confirmed root.

i hope so
Wait, what's the latest firmware? I thought NC1 was the latest. And I can confirm it works with it! I just rooted my phone last night using the towelroot method. Knox intact as well.

You have to reflash stock rom in Odin or bring to AT&T store and they will reflash for you, which is what I did Friday. [emoji57]

There's an update to upgrade to 4.4.3

Update: so far, everything has been running smoother for me. This is mostly thanks to the root and xposed capabilities we now have. Being able to hibernate system apps, have better control over what is eating the battery, and customizing stuff with xposed is really enhancing my stock experience. I don't feel that I even care to install safestrap and look at other roms, as stock is so much better this way. Everything has been running very stable for me. The only problem I have is that somewhere in this process it tripped knox (somewhere in my supersu update this happened), but I don't really care as I will use it until it dies and lose it when it does.

I noticed that too. Dropped from 24 mbps to 7. I flashed NB1 modules and that seemed to work for me.

So you had to install safestrap to do that? Can I do that in Odin and stay on the stock Rom without flashing a new rom or can I just flash the module from safestrap on the factory installed rom also is it safe to flash the nb1 module on the nc1 rom? Sorry for all the questions its sort of a hard topic to search

I also have at&t gs4 sgh-i33u nc1 4.4.2 and rooted with towel and my wifi has not changed. everything Is running fine. I have also uninstalled the Bloatware I don't like. I use this phone all the time and so far my battery has not gone below 40%.
But I do miss the speed I had when I had custom roms on my gs3 and my gs4 before the usb jack went bad. When I replaced my, well NC1.
I miss the old CWM flashing days.

I still haven't flashed the modules but I have been getting intermittent messages about my wifi being unstable. Anyone else?
I get these all the time. But my WiFi is unstable. It's a crappy router on crappy bright house. I don't think it's the phone at all as there about 6 devices on a 1Mb connection. They all come in and out on WiFi

9Geohot has found a vulnerability in the New ATT/VERIZON S5 and confirmed by users it works on our i337 ATT NC1 FIRMWARE ONLY. Check out his thread HERE http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2783157
I am ONLY relaying his great work here and have NOTHING to do with it. I just try to keep up with a few other phones when I think I may upgrade to. So I brought this here in case others were not following the Verizon/ATT S5 forums.
For this towelroot to work on the ATT S4 you need to be on NC1 firmware. It does not seem to work on MK2 or NB1.

Here is a zip file with:
- SELinux Mode Changer
- SS 3.72
- NC1 Kernel modules
- Updated SuperSU
https://mega.co.nz/#!61hyXCgS!hxerBG4XCbHJFioDOdOi7ybQoQUTzmscEBlsP0VlaWM2Glad it is working for you all. Now hopefully a real boot loader bypass like Loki comes along for you all.
I didn't need to use this method as I have the Loki bypass on mine. Just since it looked like it would work with many android/Samsung phones I would share the link Geo had. Make sure to send him some kind of donation if possible. This is huge news for the phones that could not get root
