Idk man. I downloaded the software for free. Anything is worth a try. What if the software actually worked? It's worth a try, right?

I think it does not work that way. We must have the box or dongle to run the software, you may have a payment system for unlocking attempts.

Is a slot machine to unlock.

I do not like dongles.

Who knows it may work? But the device itself costs $115-$135. So who's going to be the guinea pig?

Hmmm .. this does look interesting and I have no issues with purchasing one once confirmed - Claims it supports root on AT&T by flash ... I have a few guys at work that have Verizon S5's - they might want to get in and buy one - maybe we can be test :)

Last time I checked, people download viruses/malware/scams for free all the time.

Last time I checked, I was a computer networker and run anti-virus, anti-malware,anti-spyware, and anti-adware. I know quite a bit about computers man but it may be worth a try with the dongle. I'm sure my system would automatically tell me if any of those were present. Just saying. Why would we be here on a developers site if we didn't know what a virus is?

I'm wondering the same brother lol. Still trying to find the exact code that was typed in.

Seems a little risky though, it says "Root by flash" whereas that could mean what I believe was done on an older version of the S4's firmware, where a temporary recovery was flashed in order to root. For the S5 and newer S4 firmware on AT&T and VZN, this would be impossible with the lockdown.
