Hello all,
I apologize in advance if this is a n00b question. I saw the sticky thread explaining that all you can do on the Verizon S5 so far is root it and install Safestrap recovery. However, when Googling around, I saw that there appears to be TWRP ( http://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxys5qualcomm.html ) and CM nightlies ( https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=kltevzw ) for this phone. Why is this? Can you now install CM and TWRP?

No, you cannot install TWRP and CM on the retail version of the Verizon Galaxy S5. the kltevzw is the developer edition variant of this phone not bought through Verizon but uses Verizon towers. The developer edition has an unlocked bootloader so you can run TWRP and CM.

Ah, I see. Hopefully someone will figure out how to unlock the bootloader on the retail version soon!

Sorry but I had to post this here instead of the dedicated GPE forum as I am a newer member and could not post in the development section yet. I have a question about the compatibility of some of the more popular roms with the Google play edition of the S4. I currently own the AT&T variant of the S4 and just purchased the GPE as I am sick of not being able to flash Paranoid on my device due to the locked bootloader. When I purchased the GPE I was under the impression that with the unlocked bootloader I would be able to flash whatever I wanted on the device but from the research that I have done it seems like there is not a lot of support for the GPE and therefore only a few roms out there.
I was trying to find out if it will be difficult to get one of the carrier versions of even PA 3.99 to run on the GPE S4 with minimal changes hopefully just to the update script? Please forgive this post residing here but I have read through all of the threads on the i9505g and haven't really come across good answers. I don't know if I should keep the GPE if there is not a lot of rom support as that is my main reason for purchasing it being that I already have the locked carrier version.
Thanks guys ...
Just in case anyone was in the same situation as me ... I went ahead and flashed the nightly CM 11 for the international version and it worked. I have been using for a day now and have not had any issues. Pretty happy !
Good afternoon all!
I'm well-aware of the "search before you post" mentality of this forum, and I apologize if these questions have been answered correctly elsewhere - I'm seeing conflicting information
I'm new to the Galaxy S5 (SM-G900V), moving from the Galaxy S3 (running Hyperdrive V16), and I'm hoping to root my phone to gain some of the features that I had previously (with the most important being unlocked tethering). However, I'm reading in different sources that it's safe to root/not safe to root, safe to unlock/not safe to unlock (and that there isn't even an unlocked bootloader for the Verizon variant), etc. I'm hoping to put these rumors to rest by asking the following questions simply:
Is it currently safe to root the SM-G900V variant of the Galaxy S5?
Is it currently safe (or possible) to unlock the bootloader for the SM-G900V variant of the Galaxy S5?
If the above are true, what is your favorite recommendation for a person who is interested in a stock, rooted, deodexed experience?
Thanks to all of you for your hard work developing, and for the information! :good:

rooting s5 verizon
Running into the same issue trying to root my verizon SG S5
About to give up. Towelroot wont work due to update
stuck .
I have a S5 Active G870a on AT&T which I need to replace due to cracked glass and a flaky charging port. No SD card or root are deal breakers, so I think I am going to stay with the S5 Active. While pricing, I found the G870f variant and have a couple of questions about it...
1. Is the bootloader unlocked on the G870f?
1a. If so, does that mean it can go with TWRP w/o safestrap?
2. Most ROMs specifically point to G870a, are there any issues with using them on G870f (with, maybe, an additional kernel flash)?
3. Is anyone using the G870f on AT&T? Any issues or thoughts?
Thank you very kindly.
Sorry that I can't answer most of your questions, but I have an G870F rooted and with the TWRP recovery installed (Intended for the S5). I'd be happy to know if I'd be able to use mods intended for the AT&T phone, as well. And what wouöd happen if I installed the cyanogen mod for S5..
The installation process is simple
First install twrp recovery by odin
Then boot your cell in recovery mode
Then wipe data,cache,dalvik cache
And then select install choose your cm14.1
And then select install gapps
Done.....reboot your device it will take 5 min to boot first time

ok but you shouldnt put this in the sprint fourms as it is not meant for this version model. I dont want any people with a sprint device to flash this and cause problems with their phones due to wrong build model.
