I'm really new to rooting and I bricked my old S5 by my own mistake when trying to root it. I got a new one and I just need some assistance in how to find the information I need to get this phone rooted. I've had a mesmerize and an s4 on cyanogen but for some reason I can't find much on my model. Am I looking in the wrong spot?
I'm sorry if I'm not supposed to post asking for something I could just search for but I'm unsure of bad roots that may brick it again. Is there an official thread for rooting these things or do I just have to look for community roots? Any help would be greatly appreciated
And if there is any cyanogenmod that supports my model that would be helpful. Sorry for the beginner question but I really want to be rooted again

I just don't want to go through the hard-brick process again so I'm afraid of rooting but as I stated I really want to free this phone. A lot of money and a lot of time spent without a phone.
Hi guys. Been a long time since I've rooted a phone. To be honest, I think the One-X was the last phone I rooted. Anyways, I'm having some trouble, well confused.
I'd like to root my phone, just root. No other ROMs or anything but cannot seem to find a thread to satisfies my phone.
I have a S5 LTE-A, G906K currently on Android 5.0.1 and running lrx22x.g906kktu1bog2 .
But I cannot seem to find anything that matches the lrx22x.g906kktu1bog2 or is this not required and I can just flash using ODIN?
If possible, could you post links thanks.

I hope someone give me some info
Tnx a lot

Thank you for your input. Im going to check it out
Im trying to understand more about the rooting.
But there are some things that puzzle me. It is about the base band number on the phone. Im not sure which update to use. I have lollipop 5.0.2 on my phone and wish to root to novarom but Im not sure that I can use it because it has a different code //download.chainfire.eu/481/CF-Root1/CF-Auto-Root-kccat6-kccat6xx-smg901f.zip?retrieve_file=1[/url] ( [Recovery][kccat6][G901F][31.12.15] TWRP 2.8.7.1 Touch Recovery). So what can I use KCCAT6 on my FXXU1BOC4 phone?
I also understand that custom roms not always the best for my phone?
Do I start with Odin and CF autoRoot ? But I also see that I can use Odin with TWRP/CMW recovery and than download bootloader and modem.
I guess it is a bit abracadabra for the newby but Im really interested to learn more so please be patient with me.
I don't want to brick my phone so Im trying to get it right.
Heya. I was wondering that is there a method for root on the s5 on 5.0. (there must be) but i was wondering with locked bl? Its ok if its unlocked if i get a great how to guide how to unlock the bl. Model number up on the title. I have no idea of any unlocking or anything with samsung devices. This s5 is the only samsung device i have. And as i dont use it at all, i need root and (if i can) unlocked bootloader, so i can get it to some use. I have alot or well experience with unlocked bootloader/rooted xperias but samsung is a whole new world to me lol. The basics must be same but its still another world from sony. So ? Im too lazy to read any other rooting threads for the s5 so i just want quick and helpful answers thx!
I know about cf autoroot but i heard that its risky
Also i want android 4.x.x.! That is my main wish for my s5.
Yes it is possible, there are plenty of guides here
