I did. It takes you here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53406788&postcount=1 , which tells you to download TowelRoot on your phone--not remedying the issue.
There are more links in the thread than just tr. Do you have to downgrade? Are you on lollipop? Which version? Little info so far. That thread should tell you ask you need to know anyway

Apologies if this has been covered - brand new Verizon S5 with 4.4.2 and a kernel date of 7/17/14 and towelroot says the device isn't currently supported.
can someone please bring me up to speed on how to root the device?

Well, if you would read both the Towelroot web page, and the post here on XDA you would see it says Most Kernels BEFORE June 3 2014 are eligible. So the reason your S5 can't be rooted is because of the kernel date of 7/17/2014.
You might try flashing one of the old Kernels in here in one of the how-to's.

thank you for that detail! I'll read up on it! do those steps essentially also perform a factory reset (lose all data)?

Doing a factory reset is not required. Doing a factory reset would be your choice.

no, that isn't something that I'd choose to do at this point, I just wasn't sure whether your procedures would result in that. thank you again for the responses.
I apologize if this has come up before but i can't seem to find a definitive thread on rooting NI2 at xda-developers. I search in this forum for "NI2 root" and all the topics were not specifically related to rooting from stock NI2.
I've browsed and searched a bit and was going to root my NE9 this evening, however today i accidentally pressed the wrong button (upgrade now, instead of upgrade later) and upgraded to NI2. I found this method for rooting NI2 here
http://techbeasts.com/2014/09/25/ho...-on-android-4-4-4-kit-kat-official-firmware/#
Is this method valid? I have never rooted this device before and have all my apps and layout the way i like it. Can i root the NI2 without flashing/resetting the device?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much, i guess i'm confused as to why the search function would not find that thread when i specifically searched for two of the terms in the title of the thread? I typed "root" and "NI2" . Just so i'm clear that is an I "eye" not an l "ell" right?

Why no in fact i haven't, but before yesterday i hadn't heard of N"eye"2 either, or towleroot, or safestrap. I'm what you might call a noob with this particular piece of hardware. So did you have any idea why my search string did not turn up the thread mentioned (or anything else constructive) or were you just trying to get your post count up?

Hi All!
I didn't see any thread yet for this phone, the Samsung Galaxy s5 NEO (SM-G903F).
Here you can share your experience and tips and tricks.
Unfortunately I didn't see any root for this phone, as well the custom roms aren't there.
So if you have a trick to root it, let it know in this topic!
I have this phone since last Saturday, till now I'm happy with the phone. I installed nova laucher on it, because it works better.
Can't wait to install a custom rom on it, with stock android.
Is this maybe something that can help? Also a Exynos processor.

The phone is fine, I installed Apex launcher (long time user ), samsung`s 5.1.1 works fine, but I need root for adaway and system files access. Waiting for root method

I need root for the same reason indeed, let's hope there will be a method soon.
Any idea where we can request it?

Someone posted request on Chainfire`s SuperSU thread, maybe he will notice
Step 1. Go into settings and enable installation of apps from unknown sources(settings>security>tick unknown sources)
Step 2. Go to https://towelroot.com/ and tap the brown lambda symbol to download towelroot app
Step 3. After download completes open the file, the android package installer will appear, press install
Step 4. Open the Towelroot app and press the "make it ra1n" button
Step 5. Enjoy your rooted S5
Last time I checked towelroot didn't do the S5 Neo... has this changed?
--EDIT-- Checked... it still does NOT support the S5 Neo.

Can someone confirm this? I don't own the phone so I can't try it myself.
Towelroot won't work for 2 reasons: its made for Snapdragon CPUs and it was only could be used on older versions of Android (KitKat).
Hmmm... Still need to look for another sollution than

hopefully we will get a alternative rom and root soon!
I've checked last week towel root and I confirm too that it does not work. Later I'm going to post here 2 pages that show how to root it but 1 one of them at least, I think is something like a fake because I don't trust pages requiring to complete surveys for files downloads...
The other one shows other methods but I tried some of them without success....
Maybe someone can do it.
By now my new s5 neo continue waiting for a root working method....
I've too much apps that need root access like titanium backup or xposed for example, and without all of them, my I9100 with resurrection remix last rom is by y now still being a better useful phone than s5 neo

I was on these sites as well, they're look kinda shady. Because you have several sites with different names, but the same lay-outs.
I don't trust these sites.
Maybe it's an idea to spam Chainfire's his topic? Because someone already asked to make a root for the s5 NEO in there.

DO NOT - repeat - DO NOT go on that survey site publishing an alleged S5 Neo root: it is a scammer.
I already confronted him directly, he also posted a video where he shows that he can download the APK file after submitting a couple of surveys but it is fake.
He's the only one claiming to have a rooting method (isn't it strange? and so soon?) and when confronted directly about his peculiar way of allowing download he hides away... DO NOT trust that, he has NO ROOT whatsoever, just a bunch of ads to make easy money.

Do not try the second one either have read of some people that allready tried all of them (on the site itself 3 people allready say it ain't working..) but didn't work! And there are only 2 reasonable options 1 is king root and the second is idd chainfire. But the second one i don't think we should spam his topic just like the post where the one guy is asking about it!

If you try the newest version it will say that there is no means to root. And you can request for them to research it like i believe 30 have done this according to the app. The more people who do this the more they'll think people actually want this.

Oke, cool!
Does it has to be done via de application? Or do they have a mail/website? I'm at work now, so can't check now

Done some searching through the threads and I just want to make sure I haven't missed anything new. Build number is BOG5. Can I downgrade that and root? Or am I out of luck?
Are there workarounds for removing bloatware? Thanks.

Sorry but OG5 can't be root. You're out of luck for now.
For de-bloat junks, check out this - Install the software to your PC, then connect your phone and click on read the device, put a check next to the app that you want to block, hit apply. If the app can't be blocked, you could use remove option (put a check mark to the option on the top), however be careful with what you want to remove.

Because they patched all the security holes that allow us to sneak in root!! Started from OE1 then OG5. Anything previous to those 2, it can be rooted.

Hi, this file is in trash- would you recover it so i can download it? I have also done somethingwrong and am trying to flash the stock firmware back to my phone!
Thanks!
I can only get to download mode on my SM-930A. System status official. FAP lock on. Secure Download enabled. Is there anyone that can give me any type of suggestion on the issue? I can't seem to take a snap of the screen due to the forum administrator. I really would like to like to get this device up and running again. Please and thank you!
