So I just got my S5 from AT&T and I would like to root it. I've seen maybe two or three methods that either used towelroot or odin? I was just hoping someone on here could point me in the right direction towards a root that wont brick my phone. Post a link to the guide?
Just FYI, there is a specific forum for AT&T S5.

Hi. I just got an S5 Active (sm-g870a)...Running 4.4.4. I seem to be having trouble figuring out which root method works for this, and I don't want to risk bricking my phone by trying a method that I'm not sure about. I tried TowelRoot on its own, and it didn't work. Can I get a little nudge in the right direction, please? I'm just looking for a guide for the method that's confirmed to work for my phone.
Wrong forum. This is for the Verizon S5. Either find one for the Active or go to the one for the S5 on the carrier you got it from.
Heya. I was wondering that is there a method for root on the s5 on 5.0. (there must be) but i was wondering with locked bl? Its ok if its unlocked if i get a great how to guide how to unlock the bl. Model number up on the title. I have no idea of any unlocking or anything with samsung devices. This s5 is the only samsung device i have. And as i dont use it at all, i need root and (if i can) unlocked bootloader, so i can get it to some use. I have alot or well experience with unlocked bootloader/rooted xperias but samsung is a whole new world to me lol. The basics must be same but its still another world from sony. So ? Im too lazy to read any other rooting threads for the s5 so i just want quick and helpful answers thx!
I know about cf autoroot but i heard that its risky
Also i want android 4.x.x.! That is my main wish for my s5.
Yes it is possible, there are plenty of guides here

And even if you just Googled "Root G900F" you'd likely find them too
I have been trying to root my Galaxy S5 At&t for the past month, to no avail. I have tried to use the towelroot method by downgrading from 5.1.1 to 4.4, but I am getting a Complete(Write) Failed message every time I try to downgrade, does this no longer worker for this phone? Other methods I have tried have not worked either, and i am beginning to wonder if this variant can even be rooted. Is this the case? I would be very grateful for a push in the right direction, as I have been searching the forum for anything that could help me.
There may be root methods that I do not know about, so there might be a possibility I haven't been looking in the right places. Thank you.
Hi I am currently searching for a root method to root my S903VL, It's a Galaxy S5 sold by Straight Talk, Tracfone and Net10
I have searched and searched and the only thing that specifically deals with this phone is a forum that has the firmware files for stock...

I would really like to get this phone rooted running a custom recovery, preferrably a touch recovery. If anyone has any information relevant to this phone model please leave me some info. If you are a skilled developer that has interest in this please by all means pm me. I have tried going to some of the pay to root sites and even they are stumped. Anyway if anyone knows or knows someone who would know how or what to do please ask, tell and share this.
Thanks!

So you have an SM-G900R...
I, personally, would recommend/suggest that you check out the following form that's specific to the USCC (US Cellular) devices.
http://www.teamuscellular.com
The following area of that forum is dedicated to the G900R.
http://teamuscellular.com/Forum/forum/408-samsung-galaxy-s5/
I don't normally suggest another forum though, the XDA Forum does have some threads/posts regarding the USCC S5 but, I believe that it's a bit limited and the above forum does have allot more information specific to this variant.
Good Luck!
