Yea, that was my thread I believe. The server I had them on mysteriously lost all my files. I will ask someone to post the files. I know Pete has some posted but it was brought to my attention that he changed some things so they are not technically stock.

That is the one to use for sure Love it!
Why is that thread only posted in the GSM section? You should split them, or copy and paste it in the 4G side too.

I've just been lazy, and I originally started that thread before xda split the Dev section.
I'll start a thread in the NS4G section soon.

Try moving your time forward a few hours or something. Just turn off auto update time.
Before you do that, can you get me a Dropbox link for your core.odex file located in /system/framework first? Just use es file to copy to your sd card and upload. You'd help me a bunch. My update fails because somehow that file was changed.

Try again. Go to settings applications. All tab. Find at&t software update. Clear cache. Then try pushing the update again.
I did that and it didn't work lol

With so many threads and models and root methods, Its a little confusing. I was wondering what is the most popular/easy way to root the GSm on VZW?
Thanks
Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk
With a 1 second search I returned 'Towelroot' as the only option available for rooting the VZW S5 retail...
With an additional minute of searching I found this.

Towelroot is the ONLY method to root the Vzw variant of the S5... Also, if you go to Geohots thread under general you'll see a link for the download. I never randomly download drop box links when the Dev posts their own link.

Believe I posted this already, and the link GeoHot provided only lets you DL v1, not v3 like is needed.

Read back to post #2. It's the DropBox link there and it also shows you already saw it. At the bottom of that post.

I saw your post, but forgive me if I don't trust your link 100%. I've been told to always dl links from the dev and not random drop box links.

Well the Dev is now working for Google. He's not going to have the link posted anymore. You have to get it from 3rd parties now... Good luck.

Ok, I will use your link. To clarify, the link you posted is v3 that should work on the VZW s5?
Thanks for all your help.

v3 should work yes, it is the last version he released. It can also be used for other kinds of phones to try and root them. make a copy of the .apk and keep it safe somewhere, just in case.
just got new s5 looking to root... can someone point me in he direction of the files and guide.. ty
Check the thread one below the one you created. It has a link to a handy guide.

Maybe the new king root update will root it?
I have a Galaxy S5 SM-G900T Factory unlocked from Rent A Center and my son put on it CM 13 nightly without asking. I need to return this phone next week to them and I need a stock rom for it. I've searched on google and have had no luck. My Baseband is GT900TUVU1ANCH. Please if someone can help me I would greatly appreciate it.
Use samfirm to download the firmware and flash it with odin
And where do I find samfirm? Sorry I don't know what that is.

You can link sammobile's firmwares here, as long as you upload them somewhere else first (MEGA etc)
It is only sammobile and samsung-updates direct links you can not post here
