I'm trying to root it , had try everything I can, CF auto root doesn't work, Kingo Root doesn't work either, I'll try Kingroot but I doubt it. I'm running 5.0, main reason why it's so freaking hard to root
So any ideas
As per the forum rules try the question and answers section .
Oh didn't see that, can someone move this to Q.A, tks
Finally got the courage to have another go after nearly bricking my near new phone. Root checker confirmed access granted
Rooted with odin 3.10 and CF auto
SM G900I
Android: 5.0 lollipop
SuperSu 2.45
Baseband: G900IDVU1BOD2
Build: LRX21T.G900IDVU1BOET1
As i dont know much about anything can someone give me some advice. The main reason i rooted was for control over app permissions and privacy and i like the idea of customising stuff. Also im not too keen on rooting my phone every time it wants to update. Any advice on what to research and where to start learning
Edit: can anyone recommend a privacy app/s , I want to use xprivacy but not sure how to proceed installing xposed . Im gonna wait till there is an easy straight forward solution, is there anything else that will block permissions etc is comprehensive and easy to install?
Thanks
I've found root methods for previous versions of lollipop for the AT&T variant S5 Active but it seems to me that there may not be a method for the most up to date firmware. Has anyone successfully rooted the S5 Active on OF3 firmware? If so please enlighten me!
I've been searching for a few weeks now. While out of town, I found a tweet for srsroot that said OF3 IS now supported. However, I have not tried it yet.
The tweet went a little something like this: #SRSRoot: samsung SAMSUNG-SM-G870A (Build: LRX21T.G870AUCU2BOF3) #Android 5.0 Now Supported...
I hope it's real; I'm going to try it tonight. Good luck
Tell me how that goes, and send me a link to it after! Thanks clubfalco
I tried it out and it said the root was successful, but I still don't have root privileges. I'm going to try it again to make sure there isn't something I'm missing. If I can get it to work I'll send the link.
I tried srsroot as well to no avail. Tried two separate times and it said root successful, but after installing SuperSU and superuser (separately) no root... I'll keep trying I suppose. Happy with the phone regardless
I'm bookmarking this to keep abreast. I've been impatiently waiting for somebody to fix this problem. I love my AT&T S5 Active, but it is in need of warranty replacement. Nothing that hinders the phone function too much, but I want it fixed eventually. However if I send it in they will give me a Lollipop build (OF3). Mine currently runs 4.4.4. I don't care about 5.0. I just need my root. If I could get a KitKat replacement I would.
I can't send it in for replacement until somebody figures this out.
You could contact Samsung and see if there is any way for them to make sure you're sent a replacement without the latest update. Also, as you may already know, make sure you unroot and make it so you will be able to get the replacement. Warranties are typically voided with root... Good luck! I will keep this thread updated if I find a fix.
New to rooting - last phone was done successfully and golden - this new phone, not so much - any luck
I've been looking for a few weeks and haven't found a way to root my S5 Active. I'm running OF3 and nothing seems to work. KingRoot KingoRoot SRSRoot all the ones that come up with S5 and S5 active. Has anyone figured this out get? Using Odin to downgrade to AFE 5.0 gives a fused binary error for SW check so I'm stuck on 5.0 >
Is there still no method to root a S5 active on Android 5.0 at&t stuff drive me mad, I'm not on a contract just want the phone without junk on it.
Many thanks
I have a Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) DuoS, which I would like to Root, but there are so many guides that I have seen and kind of browsed through that I just don't know which Guide to follow. I'm kinda stuck. I basically only need Root access to use the Roehsoft Ram Expander App for which I specifically bought an SD Card for. But the most posts I have seen or for the J7 Pro which is a different version than I have, can someone help me by guiding me to the correct guide to follow? Thank you in Advance
Found a guide saying you can root by installing Magisk with stock Recovery through Odin, did this and everything seemed to be working correctly until the phone restarted and said that the verification failed. And this is only my phone also have a tablet that I still need to do (SM-T580) Really hope someone can help me?

It seems everywhere I go there is no root for this phone (sm-J337a) it's an at&t phone. I used kingoroot, kingroot and basically any root out there. nothing has worked. So this seems that it has no root made for it yet? is there any possibility for someone to do this? Sorry, I'm not too good at rooting as a whole. But I've used Odin and things like that before.
there doesn't even seem to be CWM or TWRP for this phone either.
it's running Android 8.0 and was made in 2018.
EDIT: Terribly sorry I posted in the wrong thread.
