I recently purchased a new Samsung Galaxy S5 from India. I would like to know if I can root it, if yes, how? And what are the risks of rooting it? And what to do after rooting!
Thanks in advance.

Of course you can root it.
The risk is loosing your warranty, which is unavoidable. If you can't live without warranty, then don't.
There is alot of things you can do with root.
I personally think it's a bad idea too root SM-G900H, since the other version can be rooted without loosing warranty.

Check what is the model no. and use towelroot to root your s5 without tripping KNOX... Safest method...

Hi,
I am waiting for note 3 to arrive. Ordered by my company.
I have a S2 now and have flashed many roms and was always rooted.
Now I run stock rom rooted only to freeze apps.
Having read a lot about knox and its warranty void, I wonder do I need root just to freeze apps? Can it be done without root?

No you can not freeze apps on a non root device but if it is a company phone you need to talk to your it-manager if you are allowed to do so. For Security reasons
Thx.
My company is real easy bout this stuff. Dont have clue what root is.
Anyway I thought apps can be turned off on 4.3? Through the apps manager?

No way without tripping knox on 4.4.2. On 4.3 still possible but only a few earliest firmwares.

No way to do that directly. HOWEVER for N900 it seems to be possible to reset knox flag and downgrade - look after the relevant threads around!

As long as the fault will not stop you from doing it - for instance if the USB connector is no longer working you will not be able to get that back
In this article they claim that rooting the galaxy s5 with towelroot
does not trip knox.Can someone confirm it,from own experience.
I am particularly interested in the international model G900F

Hello everyone. From what I've ready, Samsung has a way of knowing when you root your phone thanks to the Knox counter. I understand people have ways around it, but frankly, I understand why Samsung does it and don't mind losing my warranty.
I do wonder this though: does the insurance cover a bricked phone from root?
Also, if I do root, can I get stock Android 5.0?
And lastly, there's so many sites that claim to know how to root a note 3, but a lot of them don't seem legit. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you!

If you rooted nc2 or NC4 Verizon won't know and you can go back to stock unrooted. Rooting your phone won't trip KNOX. If you take the 4.4.4 update it's a wrap as far as we know. If you root you won't get 5.0 unless it's a OTA probably. I know Hsbadr is working on some things but for the most part Big Red is trying to kill the Note 3. At least from a rooting and development standpoint.
Really? So there's no way I can get 5.0 custom rom?

I doubt it on this device but you never know.
It depends on how your root to not trip Knox amd some other things can trip it from what I've read even improper unroot. I cannot confirm I've never experienced this, but Samsung is who you shouldn't worry about verizon insurance is different. Samsung a is only one year verizon is paid but yes they are right they won't know. Towel root is the only way I know how to not trip knox. To sum up other posts verizon is trying to stop root of note 3 and Samsung isn't helping either. This may be as good as it gets when it comes to development for the note 3 which is still incredible imo due to the bootloader and such. As always hope this helps and shout out to all the devs and others that work on note 3 v
