Hi, If your phone isn’t supported, change modstrings by opening the towelroot application and tapping three times on the “Welcome to Towelroot v3” sign. This will open a white box under “Make it rain button” where you have to type the following code
Code 1. 1337 0 1 0 4 0 (Standard code – works on most devices)
Code 2: 1337 0 1 7380 4 0 (For Samsung Galaxy Device)
Code 3: 1337 0 1 0 4 1 (Universal code – gives temporary Root Access)

Save your time this app does not work as it says it does and the only response author gives it how to modify it. Why the hell has it not been tried prior to this site going up and already having mods made. I have wasted all the time here I ever will
