FWIW... I purchased my phone on June 19, and was able to root it the next day using CF-Auto-Root by exactly following the directions in chainfire's thread. (It did trip Knox, but that wasn't a concern for me.)
Today I successfully installed Philz Recovery version 6.58.9 via Odin 3.07, exactly following the directions in this post from the main philz thread, and it worked fine.
There were a few mis-steps in the process where the root or recovery didn't "take" properly, but in each case it turned out I'd done something wrong in Odin - used the wrong file or left a box checked/unchecked.
Phone specs:
SM-G900W8 on Rogers
Build number LRX2IT.G900W8VLU1BOC1
Kernel version 3.4.0-4100894
Android version 5.0 stock (no upgrades applied before applying root or recovery)
So there may be hope for you?

Aw man, I'm so sorry. There goes the hopes I had for all the similar threads/posts with 900F devices.
However, it's quite rare to see the community here fail altogether. Give it some time - there'll be a solution soon!

i cant update my device coz the system detects that my device has been rooted though i already unroot it in the SuperSU app as stated on the One Click root thread.
Flashed with flash tool over 20h on a phone from VDF Romania. All went well, nothing spectacular to report works and seems as snappy (or choppy) as 20H was. Needs some settling in to decide but guess there are improvements (or slowdowns) somewhere there deep in the code.
hi can someone confirm the baseband version on their about .
i just flashed the modem only and i want to confirm it went ok.
many thanks
so whats new ? any news for when we will get the 5.1 SW -_-

You do not need root to install with KDZ files numerous guides to do it on the forums with a quick search.
the most important change is voLTE support, at least here in italy
I'm looking forward to upgrade my A5 to russian Lollipop via Odin, the problem is if one day for some reason I need to downgrade back to KitKat, is it possible to downgrade? I mean if it is possible then does this recommended (to downgrade)? is there any consequences of this (like loosing warranty, bricked, etc)?
No, i would not recommend to try to downgrade. Several guys including me have hardbricked their device doing so.
also i hard bricked my device after downgrading.so you better dont do it

Be a Man and update it and downgrade it as much as u woold like me; but be smart and follow strictly the instructions. Sometimes, u will face problems that s how we learn to solve em. u ll need luck courage and a mind
I had already said in another post that this phone, more than others, has been a bit "tricky" and problematic.
also because of what has happened to others, do not. not that brick is sure, but is 70%
otherwise, try the new deodex http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/deodex-deodex-thread-samsung-galaxy-a3-t3174124
If you want to downgrade back to kitkat, you need to factory reset you're device including internal storage before you flash 4.4.4, if you encounter issues with no imei/baseband unknown. You will have to flash again.

I disagree. I downgraded both my A3 and A5 from 5.0.2 to 4.4.4 since that the damn lollipop is ubber laggy and keeps on freezing it.
Before downgrading make sure that you do a clear dalvik then wipe cache then go to odin mode flash it twice. The first flash even if its successful will boot loop your device. The 2nd flash will work like a charm. Mine is doing fine again.
hello
your phone doesn’t get bricked unless you try to “wipe data/factory reset” in ClockworkMod Recovery while trying to install a new ROM.

Ehm.... what the hell are you talking about ? Rooting and downgrading firmware is something totaly different.
I'm on the french 5.0.2. lollipop firmware at this moment, i downgraded a few times before from this lollipop firmware to KK (simply because root is only possible on KK, but then i find myself wanting lollipop again).
You want me to explain ? Well its simply firing up Odin and flash the firmware. Very simple. But this in on the SM-700F, not sure if its different on A3 or A5.
You tell me you was on 5.0.2 and you succeed to downgrade to 4.4.4 without brick, only with Odin and original 4.4.4 firmware ? I'm on french 5.0.2 and have SM-A700F too. ..

Yes, i told you that. And it works perfectly. Maybe you should try it yourself if you want to downgrade. Its very hard to brick a device with original firmware. You have to be a total idiot to do that like flashing firmware from another device or something.
But you have done that when the 5..0.2 was available on your country ?

Normally when an OTA or update is available officially it's impossible to return back to an old version

I only recieved a small OTA on KK. Lollipop not available in my country.
Ah OK I see. 5.0.2 is available here in France and I have done it OTA. So for me it's impossible to go back to 4.4.4.

Both of these are known to fail against this device, although I attempted to root with these to no effect.
Looks like the only sane way to root this device currently is via the pre-rooted option with Odin.

No guarantees it will flash properly. It depends on the size of the hidden partition. I would wait for a debranded firmware like BTU or XEU.

Thanks for your input @ joecool666 and @lynxblaine.
This morning I just received the 7 OTA on my device and is installing as we speak. It's aprox 200MB smaller than on the S7e (i'm on S6e).
For anyone interested.. I flashed this last night.. but it FAILED on hidden partition... had to emergency repair it. I'm using g925f in the UK on Vodafone..
Edit...
I flashed the UK Vodafone from sammobile
can i flash it with odin or i must install twrp recovery first?
has anyone tried secure folder app ?
I've installed it from Sammobile but it does not run saying "unauthorised"
I made a video of all the new features and the whole new design with nougat

Hello guys! I've followed the simple root tutorial found on XDA and i've managed to root my S5 with no problem (i don't have any knowledge about this stuff cause i am a newbie,sorry...). After that ,i've successfully flashed TWRP Recovery and tried several ROM's but every one of them failed (bootloop on RR, corrupted zip on Note 7 ROM etc),anyway,it was late and the next day i needed my phone so i installed the Official Stock S5 ROM (6.0.1) found on XDA also (flashed with Odin). The problem is, i can't root it anymore. When i try to do the exact same thing i did with auto-root and Odin everything works except SuperSU ("There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it"). I've tried everything! And when i say everything , i mean it. Even KingRoot, wipping everything, trying to root again, the advices found on this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/su-binary-installed-supersu-install-t1928764 and nothing works..if anyone can point me some directions , give some advices, i would be very happy! Thank you guys! I'm willing to try anything.
