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.

Help rooting!

Heya, In a previous forum thread I said that I had soft-bricked my phone due to a failed rooting attempt. I had help fixing the soft brick, but now I want to try at rooting again. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S5 Verizon Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 (g900vvru2dpf4) and I am having trouble figuring out to root. Please help!

First of all make a backup with Samsung smart switch or whatever way you prefer and backup all other important data to your computer
Downgrade to pb1 or ok3 firmware flash in Odin in pda /as slot in odin
download firmware from sammobile. Com

I have a problem, when I try to use Samsung Smart Switch, my phone reboots in a weird way. I mean, I use the fingerprint locker, so when I start to back up my data, the phone reboots in a second and I have to use my password to unlock it, thus stopping the process of back up. What is going on ?
