![]() I thought it was funny they didn’t escape the apostrophe correctly. Installing Towelroot to root your 4.4.2 install of Android brings up this ominous message. I have no idea how the mobile version doesn’t. From what I’ve read, Odin running on your PC will trip Knox when you flash a custom ROM. You also have to splash out the $5 required for Mobile Odin Pro to flash Lollipop again without tripping Knox as it’s flashing a custom ROM. You need to backup everything as your phone will be downgraded to an earlier version of Android that can be rooted and then upgraded again to an already rooted Lollipop ROM. I found a great guide that explains how to root the Galaxy S5. You may not like the warning logo on bootup but how often do you boot your phone? If you’ve had your phone for more than a year then you don’t really need to worry about Knox as your phone is out of warranty. Samsung KIES does not work either, but there are better backup solutions out there. Once it’s tripped a yellow warning triangle appears on bootup and your warranty is void. Knox is the security system Samsung uses to stop people messing with their phones and installing custom software like a new firmware on them.The developer of Llama, the app I use to switch to silent each night, includes silent mode in his list of Lollipop bugs and gotchas but he has released an updated apk with a fix for this Android bug so hopefully that works. I’m still not happy that there’s no real “silent mode” any more. Lollipop is the latest version of Android that’s rolling out to Samsung Galaxy S5 phones right now. ![]() (I said “it’s like”, analogies are never 100% accurate!) It’s like the difference between having access to the engine of your car instead of the bonnet being welded shut.
