Hi all.
I've had my S5 for a few weeks now and I want to root it, is it possible to do so without losing all my stuff that is already on it?

Root is patching you current firmware without altering your current phone state.
if rooting goes well you won't lose anything.
If you fear, use Helium backup for apps and app data,
and also manually backup your internal storage to your computer in case anything goes wrong.

Ive tried many of the hotspot apps in the market but none seem to work as I always get an error message. does anyone have any suggestions?

Yea I've been wondering the same thing.
Why don't you root and flash the mod ?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
You need to root then do the mod to get them to work
You can always unroot after flashing the mod if it is that much of a problem to be rooted.
Why not just root the phone? No harm done in rooting, right??
I was just hoping to stay stick for a while, but I guess that's not going to happen.

you can stay stock if you want yet still root. I have yet to flash a custom rom but been rooted since day 1.
Wow, the rooting process is so much easier and faster than on the original evo. It's like I barely had to do anything. Thanks for the help everyone, it was definitely worth rooting.

Can you root your phone without wiping data? I'd love to root but dont want to start from scratch again.

The current method available wipe's your data. No way around it.
This is true but if you don't want to wipe there will probably be a method eventually

I am not so sure about that. The version we have does not trip the knox counter and with the bounty being paid, i am not sure anybody is actively looking at an alternative root method that doesn't require wiping. Some other variants of the device can be rooted with the same tool/method from designgears and not be wiped but the vzw version is not one of them for whatever reason.
I used Helium from the play store and was able to back up without root and then used it after rooting to restore app data.

Hey guys! So i just switched from a sprint note 3 to a verizon note 3. I NEED root but my company uses mobile iron. Is there a way to use it and keep root?
Also whats the best way to root this? All I want is root no custom recover.
haha good bc cystom recovery isn't possible atm on retail verizon note 3. seems like vroot is the only way to go right now without tripping knox but do ur research.

believe it or not I like the stock rom (this is the first phone I have ever been able to say that with)
So vroot... hmmm I shall look into it. But I still need to know about the mobile iron.
well I should have been more specific we can flash roms and some mods with safestrap (a sorta of custom bootloader workaroundl). but we do not have the ability to flash custom kernels.

Try Rootcloak to hide root from the app. Works for another MDM software similar to that.
Edit:
Use the one from xposed framework. In not sure if the one from the play store works.
Can you link me to it?

Ok so kingo did not work.. Vroot. Did the trick. I did a factory reset after that and now I'm rooted. I loaded the new framework and root cloak. I will let you all know of it works.

Hi
If I upgrade my note 3 SM-N9005 to lollipop manually using Odin then my all data including pics and videos will be deleted or they are safe?
Sorry for my bad English
@sameer23 i updated via odin without taking backup today. Nothing has gone but its always safe to take a backup.
