New phone arrived...... Towelroot not downloading

[putney1477]

Ok so as the title says, I just got my replacement phone. I"m trying to root it now and get SS installed before I send the broken one back.

I swapped sim cards and turned the phone on, I am trying to download towelroot with no success. I go to www.towelroot.com and click the symbol and it says downloading, but it does not appear on my pull down status bar. When I go into my files>downloads> it says in progress.....but its been over 10 min...... does TR still work? I can't even get the dang thing to download....sigh

developer options are enabled and unknown sources and debugging are checked off


Am I missing something really simple?

Next quasi dumb question.....

I need to install TR and SuperSU
odin NCG kernel
open TR "make it rain"
odin NI2 kernel
open supersu, update binaries

then DL and install SS....

is that all right?
