Hi !
I'm interested by a custom recovery on S5A too, i have european version (SM-G870F) but i guess it's the same no ?
XDA is the best !
Thank you !

Coming from a Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505 (rom was before Knox, yay!)) I guess I'm spoiled for info. I didn't quite expect it to be this sparse. :-/
Only 2 threads concerning rooting and installing recovery on the SM-G870F..
Even though I've been here for almost a decade, I still find it unsettling every time i have to fiddle with the firmware.
And even more so, when Samsung is threatening with all sorts of evil (which btw by law, doesn't ruin my guarantee where I live).
So thanks guys! I'm now rooted (Chainfire -Towelroot doesn't work) and have made a backup with TWRP.

Post a feedback when you're done
I confirm that twrp-2.8.7.0-klte ( galaxy S5 international version) works without problem on S5 Active ( SM-G870F).
You can not install this custom recovery direct from TWRP Manager from GooglePlay but installing is possible through Odin.
It was very hard to get any information and find clear experience about possible custom recovery for this model (SM-G870F). But thanks for you guys, it actually works now on my phone. :good:
Looking for Safestrap for SM-870W
Hi All,
After some research, I found that Samsung S5 Active (Bell (Canada) Mobility) has a locked bootloader
so I cannot install CWR or TWRP customer recovery. So I guess it Safestrap for me. But I can only find
Safestrap for either AT&T or Verizon http://www.mediablog.us/download-install-safestrap-recovery-verizon-galaxy-s5-sm-g900v-att-galaxy-s5-sm-g900a/
Can I use either one of them on my device? My intention is to load Koolkit ROM but I need to figure
out first how can I install Safestrap on my phone.
Any help, advise or suggestion is appreciated.
Thank you.
As title says, I've tried TowelRoot but It said 'unsupported version' and I was afraid of using anything else that might damage my tab 4
Thanks in advance :/
Yep

I've been looking around for ways to root it as I received the same message from towelroot saying my phone is not supported. Anyone know how to fix this or if there is even a root available for my samsung galaxy tab 4, version 4.4.2?

Twrp recovery is a way for us to flash stuff into the system or even whole new systems.
If you find and install that on your phone you can then flash SuperSU. I'm sorry I don't have this device yet so I cannot help you more. But I have done similar with two other Samsung phones.

As I understood, TWRP is a root-required application so I guess it would be totally useless to have it while my phone it's sel not rooted.
Wrong.... twrp doesnt require root. Youre flashing it in odin.

Im pretty sure he said. Flash twrp recovery with odin. Theres like some sort of file you flash with odin to get twrp, not with the apk.
Twrp is a recovery.
Samsung uses a pc recovery software called Odin. It is capable of flashing any part of an unlocked device including a recovery partition.
Since the tab 4 did not have a locked boot loader we can flash twrp without root. Once twrp is installed with Odin on the PC you can simply flash su into the device using twrp

For that matter you can "flash" SuperSU with Odin if someone (traditionally chainfire) creates an Odin flashable bin.

If that would work, I think I would try it however, I don't have any experience with this, Could you guide me or send me any guide about it ?
Thanks
I would be the wrong person to help.
I have not yet received our tab 4 in the mail. I am speaking from experience from other Samsung devices.
I would recommend trying YouTube.

So, I've searched about this but I can't manage to find odin to fit in with my tablet (Specially my model number), So I can't really try it hoping nothing to happen specially with the warnings about not to use other files.

Hi sorry for a late response. But it seems theres a test recovery. I dont own the device and cannot gurantee you root for your model. As it seems your kernel is before june 3, im not sure why towelroot wont work. Have you tryed other rooting applications? Heres the thread and theres a post somewhere for the T231

Kingo root should install an app so it can connect with the kingo application. Perhaps searching on google and installing kingo app can help?

FWIW... I purchased my phone on June 19, and was able to root it the next day using CF-Auto-Root by exactly following the directions in chainfire's thread. (It did trip Knox, but that wasn't a concern for me.)
Today I successfully installed Philz Recovery version 6.58.9 via Odin 3.07, exactly following the directions in this post from the main philz thread, and it worked fine.
There were a few mis-steps in the process where the root or recovery didn't "take" properly, but in each case it turned out I'd done something wrong in Odin - used the wrong file or left a box checked/unchecked.
Phone specs:
SM-G900W8 on Rogers
Build number LRX2IT.G900W8VLU1BOC1
Kernel version 3.4.0-4100894
Android version 5.0 stock (no upgrades applied before applying root or recovery)
So there may be hope for you?

@German Developer it booted properly, but it doesn't work okay. Super SU wants and binary update, that fails when asks to disable KNOX. Also the root checker apps say that the device root access is not properly installed.
I followed the steps correctly, Odin showed message "Passed".
Just to make sure, these is the information about the firmware, device, baseband and etc.

I would recommend you to do it, but before flashing it back try your root with the on play store called "root checker" and than you can see if you have root

Looks like the only sane way to root this device currently is via the pre-rooted option with Odin.
