Is there a root package available for the Galaxy S5 running Lollipop? The reason I'm posting this is because I'm running stock Lollipop and I'm not sure if I can root with that or not. I'm aware of the previous root packages (non-Lollipop) that have been released. If there is already a thread on this please link. If not, I would appreciate anyone's help.

so I got a Galaxy s5 in august. The phone is awesome as is, but I really want it rooted. I tried towelroot, but that failed because my phone runs on kitkat 4.4.4. I then tried Odin3 v1.85 to attempt it. This didn't work either. What other things can I try?
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum.
For reply or more questions please register an account on XDA forums.
Stand by
Until then read carefully this thread: [HOW TO][ALL VARIANTS][19/11/ Gain root, custom recovery, prep for modding on your S5
Good luck
Hello,
Generally rooting a samsung device is fairly generic. However before I suggest a method I need to know the model number and variant of it you're using. Some devices have locked bootloaders which may require a different method to avoid damaging the device.
Hi guys,
I bought the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-910F), updated it to Android 5.1.1 and want to install Cyanogenmod/with root.
I read a lot about it cant be rooted just with a new kernel with root permission but i want to install Cyanogenmod with root.
Normaly i need to unlock bootloader and get root permission to install a rom?
Or is in not possible to install a other rom at the moment? Or is there a way to downgrade my Android version?
If yes... Can someone give me/us a instructions to do so? Maybe with download links, i know to search the forum but i cant realy find solutions for my own questions
I know...
Samsung Smartphone USB Driver
Odin
TWRP
and...?
I'm trying to do the same.
Did you do it in the end?
I have berm going through the forums since root was announced for the note 4, and I am fairly confused on the current state. It seems like only certain devices work. Non of the threads really explain whether or not I can root my device. Could someone please post a link if so? I already tried the cf auto root and Odin errored out.
To start I am very noobish at rooting and such so please be patient with me. So i had rooted my verizon galaxy s5 that was on 5.0 . then i used flashfire to update to the new 6.0.1. but have lost my root i thought from what i read this would help me keep my root . Is there anyway to get my root back even if I have to downgrade back or something. Once again i am very noobish at all of this so any clear help would be wonderful.
Probably a stupid question here but I need to ask it. I have read through most of the solutions here for rooting my s5 g900v but can not find the right files to do this. Can someone provide a link to the files or tutorial?
I am trying to root my samsung galaxy s5 G900V running lolipop 5.0 with V is the carrier.
Can someone help me with getting the right trwp file for the g900v ? I do not see it anywhere.
Thanks,
