Hi all,
I not sure if this has been posted before. I just wanted to know if there is a method to root this phone now or is there anyway I can downgrade to 4.4.2 and root the phone. I am currently stuck with the stock rom and I would like to root my phone and make the performance better and battery better.
No to each of your questions - no root on 4.4.4 and no downgrade.
Hi, I need some help with the towelroot method for rooting a AT&T Galaxy S5. I'm currently on Android Version 5.0. When I ran the v3 Towelroot I clicked on "make it rain" and then it said "Device not supported". I tried using the modstrings but they didn't work either and kept saying the same thing. I'm new to the whole rooting thing, I just need some help from experienced on how to fix this. Thanks for the help.
Towelroot does not work on 5.0 Lollipop, only 4.4.2
The ATT version of the GS5 has a locked & encrypted bootloader, so rooting is not possible with lollipop at this time. I'm not even sure if you can install safestrap on the ATT GS5 running 5.0.
visit the ATT GS5 development forum to get the latest info on your option.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 version G900V,
Android version 5.0
are there any rooting methods available for this phone yet?? My phone does not have lollypop
I tried the towelroot.com and I was able to download tr.apk but my phone won't let me click the install button.................Does this mean my phone is unrootable????
I've been working on this for a few months! ( I'm just slow and wanted to be sure) I successfully rooted the g900v last night. What build/kernel are you? On 5.0 its as simple as flashing 4.4.4, and THEN ncg kernel, which no matter what will be done before towelroot will work. My g900v was on 5.0 so my first step was to flash 4.4.4 (NK2) on top of it just to start my process.
Don't forget once you are done with rooting with towelroot and after you install SU, flash your kernel back to what it originally was. That way it stops acting so wonky. Ex. I had to flash nk2 kernel back to mine.
Look up Root g900v on ncg
Hope that helps!

I have a T-Mobile SM-T337T running 5.1.1 and im looking to root it. I have seen a few posts regarding the Tab 4 8.0 which is what I have, but nothing that actual says my model. Is there any root for this yet, and if so where can I find that info? Thanks!
I have samw model but downgraded to kit kat again ..lollipop 5.1.1 there's none that work 100% i tried kingroot it did root but everytime i would restart root would disappear oddly.. best bet go back to kit kat for a while ... more options for it than lollipop for now
i've noticed the tool "CF-Auto-Root" is not compatible with the SM-G900V(Verizon Galaxy S5) phone model, does anyone know why this is? And if anyone is aware of a tool that could root said phone running 6.0.1 could you please comment the tool
Thanks for your time
Currently there is no way to root stock mm on s5 verizon
but you can be rooted on lollipop and bootloader unlock on lollipop
then install custom recovery then install a prerooted mm ROM that is currently the only way
