[Q] Is the newest firmware rootable? - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm about due for upgrades on my account and trying to decide which phone to buy for my wife. Deciding between the Galaxy S5, HTC One M8, and LG G3. I prefer the S5 because my wife is more familiar with Samsung phones, but I need to know if it's still rootable or if Verizon has managed to completely lock this thing down.
I apologize for asking a question that's probably answered multiple places, but despite my best searching, I'm unable to determine the newest firmware version available for this phone, nor if there is any root method available for it that doesn't require an unlocked bootloader (presumably impossible with a "new" phone now).
I'd greatly appreciate a quick answer or a nudge in the right direction to look for this information.

You have to downgrade to NGC to root. Then you can upgrade and keep root.
OD5 is the latest firmware. See down in the notes to see how to root.

Thanks for the info. That's encouraging. I found that thread earlier but it says that method is only possible if you are already rooted...?

ota update rooted oc4

I have received a notice of an OTA update for my SM-G900V. I am rooted Via towel root. android version 5.0 oc4 kernel 3.4.0 I did try to accept the update and it failed.
I since have tuned off update notices in T.B. Is this update something I need or even want? Or should I just keep the update
notification turned off? I don't want to lose root. Thanks in advance to all of the members and posters and XDA in general.
I have the same phone configuration as you, android version 5.0 oc4, kernel 3.4.0, but when I attempt to run Towelroot it tells me " This phone is not currently supported". Can you help me figure out how to root mine? Or point me to a step by step instructions for dummies(me)? Thank you.

You're not trying to use towelroot on lollipop, are you?
If 5.0 is lollipop, and it is, then yes. I seem to have the same config as the OP and he indicated that he was rooted using towell root, so I was asking how he did it. Can you suggest a way to root 5.0? Thanks.

Thanks. I've only had this phone for a few weeks, and I immediately started looking for a root process to get rid of bloatware. Very confusing situation. Lots of posts about One Click Root, Towelroot, etc....all very misleading, for a noob to Samsung. I had already seen the post you suggested, but (at this point) am not terribly interested in the downgrading route. Maybe later. Keep hopeing one of the brilliant devs here will figure out a way to root without downgrading first.

This is what people don't understand: No one is working to root this phone on lollipop. There are assuredly folks working to crack the OS in general, but frankly no one cares about a legacy phone now that the S6 is out. So until L is exploited, there won't be any news for this phone.
So if your phone came with an OS lower than OE1, your only choice right now is to backup, downgrade, TR, profit. There is no one-click-root for the 900V. Honestly, just take half a day and do it. You'll be glad you did for just AdAway!

nah, nah, I was full of it. Apologies. See - what the carriers don't want you to know is that there are actually TWO versions of a device - the consumer version, which is completely locked down (as it should be), and the developer version of the device. OK, yeah the developer version of a device usually costs twice as much as the consumer version - but the bootloader is unlocked, it's easy to flash away the stock, non-root consumer ROM without fear of bricking, and its APIs probably have many more functions that help with debugging and performance tuning. So as a professional developer what I need to do is trade in my Galaxy S5 consumer edition for the developer edition, and I'll be able to install MultiROM, CyanogenMod, SuperSU, and all the other developer candy.

You have to read what he wrote. If your Verizon consumer edition phone has the OE1 or OG5 build you have the locked down signed bootloader. If your Verizon consumer edition has a build prior to OE1, you can still downgrade to KitKat, root, and run a few ROMs through Safestrap or Flashfire.

Advice needed on updating Samsung S5 from 4.4.2 to 5.1 whilst keeping Foxfi and Root

Hi everyone,
Looking for some help on updating my Samsung S5 to the latest Verizon update which looks to be LRX21T.G900VVRU2BOK3. I have found a lot of conflicting information on updates so first hand experience would be great. I need to keep foxfi working as I have unlimited data and the phone is rooted with towelroot. Details are
Verizon Samsung S5
Android Verion 4.4.2
Model Number SM-G900V
Baseband G900VVRU1ANCG
Kernel Version 3.4.0
Build Number KOT49H.G900VVRU1ANCG
Looks like Foxfi is supported on Android 5.1 but does anyone have first hand experience? I would also like to keep root if possible. I currently have Titanium Backup and SDM frozen, would it be best to take the over air update? Lastly anybody have bad experiences with the LRX21T.G900VVRU2BOK3 update?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
dont know if bok6 version will work on your g900v. but the battery life is awesome.

That's good to know Salcykhan Yep BOK6 is the verizon update and G900V is the Verizon S5 variant.
Then install this version and root it and remove all s5 crappy app.

Hey Keypepper,
I'm in the exact same boat as you and would love any insight you may have--if you decided to pull the trigger on un-freezing (thawing?) SDM to grab the OTA update. Root would be great to keep, but I'm pretty sure that's no longer possible in the same fashion beyond 4.4.2. Hence the massive push back to this version and utilizing the ease of towelroot. Either way, if you can pass on any add'l perspective you have, I'd appreciate it.

Hey wlhovde,
I decided to apply the Samsung policy update to keep it more secure. This did not break root.
I'll probably will add the latest kitkat version when I get the S7 or when my contract expires.
For reference.....even if prior rooting hasn't broken OTA updating (it probably has) and the OTA downloaded, installing it WILL break root......

You can adjust the settings in messaging so that attachments aren't automatically opened. That will help.....

Ah....I must have missed that part about Web videos.....mind you I don't use my phone for watching videos......My laptop has a larger screen lol.
About updating and keeping root....There are 2 ways I know of....it just depends whether you want to keep knox intact or not.....
1) Use Flashfire (by Chainfire) to keep root while upgrading with knox remaining at 0x0.
2) Odin flash (or OTA) your upgrade....this will kill root but it can be re - obtained by flashing TWRP and SuperSU afterwards.....
This method will trip knox and WON'T work on devices with locked bootloaders.....so if you're running a Verizon or AT&T device, don't go there.....

AFAIK Xposed doesn't play nice with lollipop touchwiz......it's the installer itself which isn't compatible (I think)......
If I remember correctly, somebody has created a modified installer which I think is SDK specific.....but I can't remember where I saw it......

Updating to 6.0.1 Root from 4.4.2 NE9

I have been out of the game for a while.
I have a Verizon S5 with the NE9 version that's rooted. All my mods are done through xPosed.
I skipped all the Lollipop updates (had my OTA update system app frozen), but it's time to move to Marshmallow.
Could some point me in the right direction to get there?
Quick questions I can think of are...
- Do I have to have an "unlocked" bootloader to make this switch now?
- Is the bootloader able to be truly unlocked? I see lots of people throwing quotes around unlocked still.
- Do we need a custom recovery?
Thanks so much in advance for anyone that can help me out.
Brett
Ok - so it looks like without an "unlocked" bootloader, you can't get to a rooted MM state.
I just wanted to clarify that for those looking into this. If that is an incorrect statement, I trust someone will correct me.
Thanks,

None yet, it's the base for getting root, once we find a way to get it to stay rooted. It's mainly for those who upgraded to the 2nd iteration of the bootloader and can't downgrade to a rootable firmware (It's been confirmed by a few to work with the new Cyborg rom, albeit without root).
As of right now, unless you know why you need it, it's best to leave it alone.

Well, I may have spoke too soon, you guys might want to take a look here in the Cyborg rom thread, seems they have a modified U2 bootloader they're flashing and retaining root. One member has volunteered to do a factory reset to see if it survives, but if so, v2 bootloader may now be rootable, or at least on the right track for public use.

Thanks for answering that man. Haha. That's awesome that the guys got stuff moving that quickly. I knew that they had the files also,but, held off as long as they could until I came along.
But another useful feature I've noticed in this combo firmware is that there is an open unlock option now and mine sticks after reboot. I tried build roms, kernels,etc.. in the past that ended in ultimate failure. I'd like to start again. At the moment I just cruise the foreign forums grabbing whatever software I can find. I kinda have building only the tree down, not so much, as it's been years. I used to build Linux OS's a long time ago but forgot. I'll do my own research here if it, anybody wants to teach, I'm all ears, all eyes. Aloha

LS99720a - Any way to root JUST for deleted file recovery? Don't need other stuff.

Title. I no longer use this phone but I would _love_ to be able to get deleted stuff off of it. I did this in the past with my old LG G3 and never had any issues like this phone has with getting to root. I tried it when I first got the phone, tried it a year later. never worked. Now trying 3 yrs lol. Is there anything I can do or am I SOL?
@Phoenix591 already answered this for you on Reddit. I don't know what else to tell you.
Original Reddit post for anyone else who is reading
Thats an Oreo version, and so is past the point of no return. It's unrootable. Tiny electronic fuses have been physically burned to prevent it from booting rootable firmware.
As I mentioned the last version that has the ability to return to a rootable version was ZV7 (the actually rootable versions were ZV5 or earlier, however LS997 did updates weird which ment that firmware wasn't available to flash using the same tools other models use... If on ZV6 or ZV7 its possible to root by crossflashing another model's firmware briefly ) , which was a few updates before oreo came out.

Unfortunately, the LS997 ended up being more limited than the other carrier-specific models. However, root access is getting harder to come by on new carrier-specific devices in general.
