Is there a different way I am supposed to go about rooting this phone? I've found a lot of information but none for this variant; it makes me worried to do things the conventional way since there doesn't seem to be much talk about NI2 specifically.
Can this be rooted the way it is, and if not, is there a different method I could use to root it without any negative effects?
I've done a lot of looking around, but I haven't found any clear answers which way would be the best way of going about this; being new at this I'm more than a bit worried I may brick my phone.
I can't post a link, but go to youtube and search this "How to Root Galaxy S5, S4, Note 3 on [NF+] Android 4.4.2 (TowelRoot)"
Follow exactly along with the video, foolproof and easy. Hope this helps.

Hello everyone,
So, I have been doing quite a bit of reading and I am trying to figure out if my version of the Note 3 is a rootable device. I have the NC4 bootloader from KK 4.4.2, but I can't tell if people are working on this or just on new versions of the NC2 version.
Sorry if I am totally out of place here or there is already another thread on this issue.
Much obliged,
Austin

First of all don't be scared posting a question the threads are pretty full of nonsense but as a noob you can't know everything (it's in the xda rules 2)
Second you need to state the model (n9005/n900t or like that) which you find in settings/general/about device as well as if you want to root keeping your phones guarantee or not.
@4aces
Thanks for your reassuring words. My Model is N900V and the Build VRUCNC4.
I am not really concerned with keeping my warranty, although it would be nice ... I just hope to find a reliable and safe method for rooting this device. I hear the Note 3 is a powerful tool when unrooted.

Please don't be lazy and use the search function of this site and use google. This thread is all there is about your phone. Read all of it. Don't expect someone else to read everything for you, good luck.
I know the s6 is out, an I bought a S5. I'm arriving fashionably late to this rooting thing.
I have never rooted any of my devices ever, and by what I here.. Shame on me.
I need to get the most outta my phone and clean it up from factory crap. I love the ability to customize my phone, but I have no clue where to start.
An very nervous of "bricking?" my phone or messing it up. I'm tech savvy so I think it wont be to hard...? What would I be able to do with my phone when it is rooted? Will it void my warranty and can it ever go back? I remember when I first heard about rooting and people where "Bricking" phones left and right... Kinda the reason I never ventured into rooting. Well I put my big boy pants on and ready to go.. lol I would appreciate any help.
More than likely you purchased your phone already running lollipop, and if so, you can't root. Not yet, anyway.

Verizon says it will be running 4.4 kitkat, the site and the verizon rep said the same thing.

Like the OP I, too, just bought an S5 but I bought it from a guy, NOT from Verizon. SO it's running Android 5.0 already. That's Lollipop, right?
Even though I have used Android for years I don't know all the terms (and am new to the XDA site). Is there a FAQ or something listing the basic stuff?
I got my old phone repaired -- a Samsung S3 running Android 4.4.2 -- so I presume it will be easier to learn to root, and I might want to start there.
UPDATE -- partly answering my own question by going to the xda-developers.com homepage and then scrolling to the bottom to see "root any device." I can see I still have a lot to learn, but there's some good info there

Bootloader is locked and there are no known vulnerabilities that would allow root. I doubt anyone is working on a root process considering how tightly locked down the bootloader is.

Can someone help me..All I want to do is remove the bloatware...Please if you know how to root it let me know

So you read in these forums that the S5 5.0 cannot be rooted, but then you ask if anyone knows how to root it. Trust me, if someone had figured out how to root 5.0 on the S5 it would be very prominent in these forums. No one knows how to root 5.0 builds of OE1 or newer on the Verizon S5. Not sure how much clearer that can be stated like it was earlier in this thread.
Hi, my name is Kit and I am having trouble locating information on how to root the specific model for my phone.
Phone:Samsung Galaxy S5
Model:SM-S903VL

Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. I have tried looking about and only found a Chinese Website that mentioned the Firmware.
I am not sure if there isn't a root or if I am simply misunderstanding how to do something.
Please and thank you for taking time to try to help me.
Sorry for the double post and bump, but it has been a few days, and my topic seemed to be drifting away from page 1 and 2.
I still do need assistance if anyone can help.
Please and thank you.
I would like information too just got this phone and would like to root if possible.
same here, theres hardly any info about this phone.
I want this so hard

Yep! I assumed it was from the fact that I had a Samsung Galaxy S4 before this phone. And I used that phone to restore my apps from. It says about Samsung Video (S4 & Note3) I believe for me.
Any ideas?

I haven't seen the beaming service app refuse to update. I'm not sure why it's doing this. The only thing I can assume is the new version of Samsung Video in the app store isn't compatible with the Galaxy S5 (or the installed firmware), and that somebody in quality control wasn't doing their due diligence.
I've been really happy with this phone so far, just wish I could root it. I haven't tried any suggested methods yet, I'm waiting to see what successes other people are having first before I brick my phone (I'm chicken!). I've been following this thread as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...p-rooting-straight-talk-s5-sm-s903vl-t3503505
Just got this phone about a month or so ago and I can't find anything about rooting it. It is very frustrating because everyone keeps ignoring posts about this phone and it then drifts away and nothing gets answered. I have tried the @kxhan15 's method on root a similar version from Straight Talk but fails in ODIN trying to flash TWRP. I really wish someone would come to the rescue with an answer!
I don't know if there is some other information I can provide that may help or where else to look for assistance. In all honesty I just feel useless having to wait.
Give us root! Dev gods hear our cries!
I have these files. Anyone know what to do to make it into root?

Doesn't the TowelRoot v3 app let you modify some code to let you use it with phones that are not yet compatible? I looked into it but I don't quite understand it.
Hopefully someone is working on it behind the scenes and is just keeping it under wraps.
Maybe it will be a holiday present for us! Wishful thinking though.

Greetings!
I am trying to revert my Samsung Galaxy S5 back to Lollipop from Marshmallow. I don't have a PC but a Macbook Pro so I can't use ODIN. Instead I have downloaded Heimdall. I have downloaded several different versions of the Lollipop stock ROM but the Heimdall GUI is not recognizing them.
I *really* need to revert this back to Lollipop so I can use towelroot to get rid of all the crap Verizon bloatware that is eating my memory and making my phone unusable.
Any help would be so so so appreciated, thank you!

Hi,
It is good that you are asking for help but first of all in order to get helped you should provide basic info as:
1. Your phone model (label inside the phone)
2. Current firmware (bootloader, PDA, CSC etc)
It seems you have Verizon version of s5. In this case there is dedicated Verizon S5 Forum for your specific phone where potentially you can get more reliable help as xda members there posses these phone:

Good luck!

It seems the issue is Heimdall isn't recognizing the stock rom package when I click the button that is supposed to load it from the relevant folder...
Ok, so...now what do I do? The GUI in Heimdall isn't recognizing the stock rom files in order to load them into the program...
It has been entirely frustrating...I have done research on my own finding all of the step by steps...but at every step there seems to be some issue or roadblock...why can't it just be straightforward, arg!

Hi again,
I never used Heimdall for my phone (always odin) nor have your phone model (my is g900f) so can't reproduce your problem. Maybe the others here can?
If not do as I recommended to you in my previous post -> ask this question on the s5 Verizon dedicated forum.
Edit: ok I see that you already posted there and forum moderator closed your thread. Do as he recommended to move this thread to Verizon s5 forum.
How do I move the whole thread to a new forum? I tried to start a new one as requested and it got locked.
