I'm not able to download the tr.apk!
When I clicked on the lamba, it says that there isn't any hotlinking to towelroot.com is allowed.
Can anyone help me?
Or can you just upload the apk file?
UPDATE: finally, it works for me I have root
I will check it.

I had that happen the first try too.
I selected Chrome as the default app for download and tried again.
Worked the second to time once the select an app screen was gone.
Unfortunately I have not been able to get SuperSU installed.
Successful root!
I'm feeling really noobish here. But how do we grant root access without SuperSU?

Someone from razr-hd forums said he unlocked (!) the BL after root. Seems very unlikely due to software fuses irreversible nature but worth trying

Just a quick note, if you download the flashable supersu zip file version 1.99r4 and find the APK inside, install it and your binaries will update. Give me a few and I will check the bootloader status, but I'll be thoroughly shocked if it isn't locked.

SuperSU can't update su binary, but root works. What's the official link for the newest flashable version? Google just points me to older versions and links there just point me to the Play Store.

You can root and stay stock.

Thank you guys very much. I'm a complete noob... Didn't even notice that "ROOT T-Mobile SGSII via ODIN" doesn't require flashing a ROM.

It still requires flashing via ODIN, though. Every flash via ODIN will increment the number of times flashed counter in Samsung phones if I'm not mistaken.
That makes the method in OP probably the safest way to root.

Maybe a dumb newbie question, but I thought I read somewhere that OTA updates could prevent one from unlocking or modding the phone at a later date. It might have been something else that was at issue, but the gist was to stay away from OTA updates.
Any ideas on this? Have any phones been limited by using OTA?
I think you can't get OTA updates if you are rooted... but you can unroot and re root after an update.
Sent from my LG-F240L using xda app-developers app
There's no guarantee you can re root after an update because they may have patched the exploit.
So if you want root I would suggest not updating until a dev says its okay.

To elaborate (and make it easier to find in TiBu), that's com.motorola.ccc.ota, or "MotorolaOTA 1.0".
I'm freezing, too, as it'd be easier to RSD back to stock than to manually put it back together if I wanted to update (in other words, I'm lazy).
I am curious, though, on what exactly the update changes/fixes. D'oh, I missed coronado's post.

I believe that you would have to be on a computer. Packages like this are made to be flashed through fastboot which requires a computer to do manually. Developers "repackage" them to make them flashable through rooted recoveries.

Also, You have to have stock recovery for the update to even work fyi.
I'm at work and will have time soon to flash this. Might have to revert to stock recovery though first. I'll get back to you, hopefully I can get the actual OTA downloaded and uploaded this evening.

yes. s-off can not go back to on unless you fastboot command it too.

this is true. but if the OTA package is installed the first thing it will do is replace hboot and recovery. (thats why sometimes you have to flash the ruu twice, first time will do hboot, recovery, firmware. second will be the rom) if you fastboot flash you dont need stock recovery. it will be installed regardless.
Nevertheless i would wait for Santod040 to do his work. if you flash now, the boot.img will make system non RW and you will loose root. the boot img needs to be modified or removed and its not as easy as unziping the firmware to remove it.

That would be awesome. I'm already unlocked boot loader and s-off , i thought it would b as simple as flashing stock 4.4.3 Rom and recovery, then taking OTA. And then flashing twrp and supersu , I thought for sure I was right about that, but there are many here who r far more experienced than me here, so please share your findings, it'll b MUCH appreciated!
Has anyone tried to get Xposed running on Freeza's DeOdex'ed Rom? I keep coming up with boot loop, If you have been successful please can you instruct or direct what you did.

You can try it when an official API22 Xposed Installer apk and or API22 supporting method or released.
If you have the OB7 bootloader, you can go back for lollipop or KitKat Xposed. Otherwise wait for it.

I did try the official API22 Xposed Installer apk and or API22 supporting method and put into a boot loop so at this time I would say Xposed wont work on Samsung OG5 at this time. If you have gotten this to work please let us know.

If you tried romracer's API22, that wont work, youll have to wait on arter's API22, which i dont believe is out yet.
Yep, still just the v65 SDK21 for krait currently. Gonna have to wait a bit.

I wasn't sure if the API22 official was out when I posted (forgot) but knew the workaround we use with API21 didn't support API22.

So are you saying that xposed works on 5.1.1 if you have the OB7 bootloader?

no he's saying that if you have the OB7 bootloader you can always go back to a previous version of touchwiz that supports Xposed. (i.e. if you updated to 5.1.1 by flashing a zip, but not updating the bootloader to OG5)

How do you check what version of bootloader you have?

About device and check the software version. The last 3 characters correspond to the bootloader

Actually Galaxy Tools is a better indicator. On my phone with OG5 modem and Beastmode kernel and stock OB7 ROM with stock OB7 build.prop, the software version shows up as OG5, but build and Android version say OB7 and 5.0.1.
But since some developers edit the build field on build.prop, Galaxy Tools is more accurate regarding the bootloader.
