should i root my AT&T Galaxy s4 on 4.3 or no?? just need some suggestions! if yeah, can you post a link to that thread for me maybe please
Why not look for the all things mk2 thread in the general section. With the full Odin we can easily restore to stock without tripping the Knox flags.

Depends on what you want to root it for.

I never said anything equivalent to why isn't safestrap available, was just asking for someone to post a link for it when it is.
In case you're having trouble finding the galaxy s5 safestrap here it is
this is only for the Verizon galaxy s5

I have a towelrooted VZW S5. Does this Safestrap trip the knox counter? Mine is still 0x0.

Ok I need some advice lol.
Im new to rooting etc as I done my s3 i9300 ages ago and left it on ultimarom .
I got my s5 g901f today which I believe is a samsung s5 plus? Its been updated to lollipop and now on xxu1boc4?
Is it ok to use the auto root zip file I found online via odin? and if I wanted to flash a cwm recovery what one would I use? I dont want to brick my phone and I can see I dont have the g900 s5 so im unsure.
Anybody able to explain my phone to me? Thsnks in advance
