So I have a samsung s5, obviously XD, but I want to root it so bad. So I did some research and looked around at various threads and other sited and they all say one thing in common, "towelroot". So I try this but it get an error message of "This device isn't currently supported".
So I did some more lookin around for that error on other devices and haven't come up with any solution so maybe someone here can help.

try cf auto root...but it will void your warrenty (if it matters)
or you can wait for ping pong root i think it will come for s5 too soon!

I'll take a look at cf auto root and think about it, it's not likely it'll matter to me if I void the warranty or not.
Edit: After looking at CF Auto root, the G900v isn't supported.

PS: what if the new firmware command above the staff? words that came out in the Free agosto..la really bothers me enough not access Root .. since I have full root access applications like Titanium Backup and other .. Regards.

You neglected to give us much information, crucial details that would allow us to confirm or narrow down much.
At a guess you have a firmware build dating after June 3rd which closed the exploit vulnerability that allows Towel root to work. There are numerous threads about this, which means that you probably didn't do a forum search or read many threads about Towel root. That is a bad habit and it would be in your best interests to do a search before posting.
In any event, if your firmware postdates June 3rd, then use Odin to write a pre June 3rd build of 900F 4.4.2 firmware to your phone. Then Towel root should prevail.
.
Straight from galaxy s6 forum!
I'm pretty sure this doesn't work on the Edge yet unless you tried it and it worked?
I've tried. It started in the OP that it's not for S6 Edge because of different in the kernel and issues with charging or something but that the vulnerability should still work just needs more investigation.
Shouldn't be long..
Problem is, will it be available before we are forced to update to the 5.1.1 update which will most likely ruin any chance of rooting.
Also wonder if rooting will stop the auto updating tactics they use as they may cause people to lose root.
Why would you be forced to update?
I have never seen an update that was forced on users for android yet.
Plus you should always be able to Odin back down.
I have done it multiple times with my s5

Many Thanks
Hey guys, I rooted my Edge with PingPong but now it doesn't go into deep sleep. I checked BetteryBatteryStats and it says the phone has been awake 100% of the time. I rooted my previous Edge model with CF auto root and it didn't go into deep sleep either until someone posted something for us to flash with Odin. Idk if that'll work this time since it's a different root method and if it will trip Knox because I'll be flashing something over Odin. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

Dear Xda Developers
dear teams first of all i am sorry if any one has already posted such kind of thread i just want to know that on XDA great teams and people are working together on different devices to make them better for common people use.
today i have same Question for you all
i am searching for posts regarding verizon note 3 lollipop root and have not found any solution one click root does not work towelroot does not work root de la vegas not working in short nothing is successful against rooting Verizon Note 3 SM N900V.!! i just want to say that there are thousands of developers but still could not make a simple root for this device. kindly do not forget this device there are a lot of users like me waiting for root kindly do something about give it your attention guys root is needed.!!
Note: if it cannot be rooted on 5.0 then kindly make a root on 4.4.4 so those who are on 5.0 revert back to 4.4.4 via Odin (i have tried reverting back to 4,4,4 using Odin and it worked) and then can root 4.4.4 if you guys successful make root available for Verizon Note 3 SM N 900V running on 4,4,4 please let us know if there is currently any dev working on this device??
one more there is a new method knows as multiboot or something similar which is used to run dual roms on this device i had seen video on Youtube and could not sort out how to do it as i do not have root and without root nothing is possible kindly someone pay attention to this device. as its been a long time since no root>> [/SIZE][/B][/B]
Lots of us is waiting for it but there is no solution for now ...hope it ll be soon ..
Really?? Every other thread is asking the same questions.
/rant
Well.. I think at least read the other post about this topic, before posting something like this.. but anyways I'll give you a quick heads up.
Basically the main reason that root can't be done by now it's cause of Verizon blocking the bootloader on lollipop also banning the kernel from 4.4.2 where root was possible.
Another point why root hasn't been accomplished by now is cause the people who are able to accomplish that are already working for some company's who pays them to patch those kinds of vulnerability and some others are focused in his school or PhD.
So.. before posting such a request read a little bit son you can be aware of what's going on.
Cheers!

I've done a bit of a research on Ping pong root... it seems it's only for note4 and s6 devices.
So I said let's give it a try who knows what might happen.. so I installed.
At first I thought it will give a message like device not supported but no actually it installs supersu but at the moment of pressing Get root! It gives me a message that supersu is not installed.
So... No. Ping Pong Root still does not work for us yet.
I'll keep up with that thread to see if it comes in handy to help us get root access.

I tried the King root dated 13 Jun, and it didnt work either.
Bummer. Was hoping since the S6 was 5.+ with root, we might get lucky. Oh well...
والحل طيب !!
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.

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.

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.

You have helped but trying to find what download to use on cf autoroot. I cannot find my model number on the list.
SM-S902L Seems to either be too new or so obscure that no root tools has the ability to root it. Should I try and contact the developer of cf-autoroot? I tried contacting geohot in regards to towelroot being unable to even do the temporary root on my model.
So if anybody has any idea which model is close enough to work with cf-autoroot I would be eternally grateful.
This thread has rooting info:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...straight-talk-variant-sm-s902l-t3162340/page2
Its really easy, but you have to have some base knowledge.
I'm in the same boat YankeeDan
I too am looking for a safe way to root into my device without bricking it! cf autoroot seems like a promising option but as you stated, there is currently no build listed for model # SM-S902L. I cant stand being stuck with Android 4.4.2 and not being able to upgrade so please post back here if you ever find a way to successfully root this device.
Thanks!
Same goes with you, if you find something please let me know.
