Title says 4.2.2, not 4.4.2 like it should. OOPS!
I really want to root my Sprint Galaxy S4 4.4.2, but I can't seem to find an updated tutorial (and I'm afraid to use an older tutorial in case it bricks my phone...). I tried TowelRoot, but it doesn't seem to work on Sprint devices. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
Are you using the SPH-L720 model from Sprint? I was able to use TowelRoot on mine with 4.4.2, however it may not work on the older OS.

Yup, I'm te hardware version is L720T.03 and everything is updated (I meant 4.4.2 in the previous post, OOPS!). I just checked for all the updates and it said none available... Are there any settings that I need to change before using TowelRoot? I'll try again.
edit: towelroot says "This phone isn't currently supported"
Just wondering if you guys would be better off discussing this in the sprint forum, you may get more relevant replies

great idea. thank you. I'll try that (new to the forum!)
L720 and L720T are different devices if I'm not mistaken...one is tri-band (hence the 'T') and the other isn't.
I have the L720 and rooted by Odin with Chainfires Auto-root.
Just putting that out there...don't want your device to get messed up (if possible) by using methods that may or may not be designed for that device.
Just my 2ยข....fwiw

Here's a root directory
How to Root Any Device
You can try those, but please note that not every device is able to be rooted, and yours might fall into that category.

I'm going to have this thread moved to the Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting section to hopefully get you some more exposure.
Good luck!

If you are still having this problem, try Kingroot. It worked for me when nothing else did. I posted a thread here.http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/root-verizon-g-pad-7-vk410-lollipop-t3149501

The demand is not the issue.

Hmm you think. Because if this particular phone sold millions and there were lots more people who wanted to root it there would be an root option for certain.

The more demand there is for exploits the more people you will have looking for exploits. There is no demand at this point

I think I bricked my Galaxy S5 Active G870A Lollipop 5.1.1
So I tried to downgrade my phone to Kit Kat and thought I had followed the instructions. I installed Odin and ran it the way I was instructed and it passed. I tried to flash the updates needed via external SD card and the updates seemed to be going well. Yet just before its done I see this red error "sideload install/*something* error (Status 7). My friend and have tried presumably everything but it won't flash the stock or any other ROM. If I'm in boot mode and try to use Odin it will fail with Fail Auth Success 0/Failed 1. Not sure what I can do. Any help would be great. Again Odin does not seem to work. Also, if I can't fix it would AT&T replace it with the insurance I have.
you CAN NOT downgrade, take it to at&t dealer and pray
I just went out and purchased a new Straight Talk S5 and need help rooting. All of the information I keep finding has to do with the s902l or whatever version. I keep getting auth failed with odin trying to use the older S5 root method.....

Version 6.0.1 marshmallow
Model number SM-S903VL
Baseband ver. S903VLUDU4APH3

Anyone?

I'm having the same problem anybody find any useful tools? I found a YouTube video from someone from XDA developers with a rooted straighttalk s5 but it was not the SM-S903VL and I tried exactly what he said and downloaded the required files tried to flash through ODIN and still nothing. It fails everytime. I have rooted many galaxy phones but on the t mobile network and am wondering if there is some kind of code modification that needs to be done like that of t mobile's. Please need help!

I've tried just about everyway of rooting this S5 from straighttalk but have had no luck, no other S5 root works. I believe this is the newest model and nobody has a working root yet. I really hope soon someone figures one out for the SM-S903VL on 6.0.1 Marshmallow. Come on developers!

Umm, I'm fairly new to this, have down this a few times but in order to downgrade, don't you have to be ROOTed? I will have to look into doing this I guess. My problem is I just bought the phone brand new and it is my only phone. I have had much luck with other Galaxy S5s and Notes on other networks and am pretty familiar with ODIN so this was the first thing I tried. Could you explain a bit more the root.bat method? If it has to do with ADB, that doesn't seem to give me authorization when I connect it and use the adb devices command. It gives the serial number and says unauthorized. I have USB debugging enabled in the phone but still no luck with that either.
The first post in that thread I linked has directions. Read it carefully a few times. I don't know if it will work or not. The first step is to flash the pb1 firmware in that first post with the Odin version in that same post. If that works the rest probably will to. Read the section called 'installing pb1'

Try it. It's for the g900v. The s903vl has the same fcc id as a verizion s5 with a busted digitizer I have,so I think it is a 900v just with straight talks firmware on it.

Unfourtunately, no joy. Couldn't downgrade to lollipop. Odin says auth-fail. If we can figure out how to downgrade than maybe that method will work. Anyone have any other ideas?

Kind of an update... just tried the newest version of srsroot (v5.1)and it went through as successful. But root checker says I'm not rooted. No more time to mess with it tonight.
