Now that the OE1 tar is available, is it possible to root my S5 which is on the OE1 update currently?
Has anyone attempted to Root with KingRoot? Many devices are having luck with it on recent 5.0 releases: http://androidxda.com/download-kingroot-application
It said it isn't possible for king root.
Tried and it doesn't work.
Btw i hate this new comment thingy...
Just got a replacement S5 and tried rooting before doing anything else... This thing already has OE1 on it with lollipop 5.0.
Please tell me this turd isn't getting the hammer because I'm locked out...
Is there a root method for OE1?

On my Note 3 I simple ran Towel Root, than SuperUser and CM security.
With 4.4.4 out, why on the S5 are you guys loading different Kernels or doing additional steps? Need to know before I make the change.
Thanks.
Because update NE9 patched the towel root exploit and caused us to lose root once updated tbrough OTA's. The great devs here figured out a work around to that so we could keep root. Follow the devs instructions on how to update to the newest firmwares an to also gain root.
Hi.
Question, is there a way to root 5.0 (stock) without tripping knox?
Tried to search\google it, nothing came up.
It's very important to me not to set off knox I still have warranty.
please help :fingers-crossed:
Device model SM-G900F
Nope not really
There was some info about downgrading to KK and rooting with towelroot, then using Mobile ODIN Pro to inject root into a stock Lollipop ROM and upgrade that way, never got that working myself though
No way to directly root stock Android 5 on the Galaxy s5 without tripping knox. However, you can downgrade to a stock 4.4. ROM and then use Towelroot. Afterwards you flash Alexandr's prerooted Lollipop ROM. There are guides everywhere, you could use this one for example https://www.reddit.com/r/galaxys5/comments/2ubsbs/guide_rooted_android_50_for_the_international/

Can I just downgrade to 4.4, root it and leave it like that without upgrade it back to 5.0?
Yes, you can. No one is forcing you to use Lollipop. I find this thread very useful: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-root-triggering-knox-2nd-method-t2843044
If you just want to use towelroot on 4.4. follow the root instructions and do not flash the Lollipop firmware afterwards.
So I haven't had any luck finding updates on rooting my phone after the OTA update to 5.0 Lollipop. Anyone aware of any new developments on this or am I just screwed?
For the moment, you're screwed. There's a possible vulnerability but nobody has found a working root method, yet that we know of.
Dang, thanks
help to root SG SM-N910L lollipop 5.1.1
help
some help ..??
wanna know also
No root available for SM-N910L running 5.1.1. yet. Samsung has updated Android 5.1.1 with root block and the only way to get around it is to install custom kernel. There are available custom kernel for Note 4 but not the model SM-N910L. I will try to downgrade to 5.0.1. and see what happens... If you force it with root script not made for this model, you will be stuck in bootloop forever! aka soft brick....
5.1.1
All I have to say is NOTE 4 sucks with 5.1.1. We can't downgrade or root. worst than a bootloop
any solution to root 910L 5.1.1?

in other threads whenever someone was mentioning custom kernels for 910c/f/g they suggested talextop and suemax kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=429310591)
on the first post for those kernel i didn't read anywhere specifically that 910L would be supported.
some still suggested it in the posts though.
As I'm 5.1.1 also and just saw a massive 1197MB update available I can only assume it's the 6.0
As some with 910C said they succeded with rooting at the end of the above thread: is it worth trying the upgrade to later have better chances on root? Or has there any method been found for 910L 5.1.1 root?
Title pretty much says all. Any possible way to downgrade from PJ2 to PE1? I want to root my device. Unless anyone can link me with instructions on how to root on PJ2.
I don't think so because there don't have the same bootloader. Since PJ2 you s newer than PE1 theit will error when you Odin then older firmware. If you decide to try I would make sure you have both firmwares available to flash back. I hopeful someone will figure out how to get root once again with the new bootloader.
