There is an updated super su, check the thread in the vzw forum and install the apk from that zip.

It does. You need to install SuperSu from a different location mentioned in the same rooting thread (not the one on market).
Here is the link to the same from my dropbox backup if you didn't want to search: supersu

Another way to check Knox and other info about ur fone, check out "Phone INFO ★Samsung★" in the play store

+1 - this change also makes the "open padlock CUSTOM" disappear when powering up.

Not seen here with either my S5 or 2013 Nexus 7 WiFi.
Install from Play Store, it was finally updated (to a newer version than that zip file).
I tried that but it wouldn't work, playstore one kept get hung at the "disable knox" notice. Tried multiple times. The zip one worked, it gave that error message, but the phone is rooted and I've granted SU privilege to apps like ESfile etc.
Knox is NOT tripped, still 0x0.

Mine says Reactivation Lock (KK): OFF
. Why is that?
I have the re-activation lock enabled in security. Basically I have to login to my samsung account to activate the device if it is flashed or reset.

3He's releasing it tomorrow. It's called towelroot. There's a thread in the verizon forum. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=278315722
No denying that the vulnerability is ligit, I have actually read thru the vuln report so I am aware it is valid, the fact is that there is no proff that it can be replicated.
in the scheme of things there is probably several dozen exploits that could accomplish the exact same thing but are not reproduceable with any kind of regularity.
it it truly took him four days just to get the root on his phone that is an exploit that would be considered not reproduceable.2
Use the one provided in the link. Not the play store version.

Like I said the vulnerablility that was used is gonna prove difficult for most to exploit/replicate...it took Geohot supposedly 4 days to exploit it and he's one of the best out there at doing things like this...its a matter of time to see if someone else can take a dig into that vulnerability and write an exploit that can be packaged up and released since geo won't be releasing his...is there anyone out there that can do it probably, question is how long that wait will be...To my knowloadge Geo actually did write an exploit that he could release publicly (he's obviously choosing not to)...supposedly he was looking for a VZW tester (not sure on the validity of that though)
This at least starts the ball rolling knowing that the locked down S5's are indeed exploitable in some way...also since the vulnerability seems to be present in almost all linux kernel versions to date...once a public exploit is actually released it probably can be adapted to other devices such as the Note 3. Of course this is till the kernel gets patched.
