Hey all, Just picked up the phone in the title, and I'm looking around, and can't seem to find anything at the moment that answers my questions. It's running marshmallow, and i'm wondering if there is a root and twrp that works with that yet, or do I need to downgrade to 5.1.1. If that is the case, can someone point me in the direction of a 5.1.1 I could download, and I assume flash with odin. Thank you.

Hi coltonbauman
At the 3rd post of the main S5 CF-Auto-Root thread you will find the root you need.
You should also follow the S5 TWRP main thread. Read carefully and you will find the link at 2sd post.
I STRONGLY recommend you to get acquaintance with XDA Search Engine as soon as you can.
Nice regards and good luck.

1) Are there any developers still attempting on finding a way for a custom recovery on the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 MF3 firmware? I know there is a custom recovery alternative, Safestrap, but I am talking about CWM and TWRP.
2) Will the users that soft-bricked their phone still have the problems once the new update for 4.3 comes out? Or will everything be normal again?
I've been searching for the answers for these questions for a bit now and just wanted to ask the community myself. Thanks for the responses in advance :good:

There won't be any custom recoveries besides SafeStrap yet because the MF3 firmware update patches the bootloader, to which there is currently no unlock method. In other words, no, until someone unlocks the bootloader.
If you're soft-bricked on an MF3 build then this should help you get back to factory stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2502003
Not to be a ****, but this info is easily obtainable just by reading the stickies in this and the General forum.

Rooting my device
Hello,
I am going to purchase an S4, I9505 and I would like to root the phone, just simply because I want to remove a bloatware apps and gain true control of the device.
My question is - if I follow the instructions in the first 3 posts to letter, how much is the chance to brick the phone? The phone is already on 4.4.2. Do I need to do anything else, or just follow the guide?
I know its a silly question, but I am going to spend some money on the device, and don't want to brick it...
Thank you in advance!

0,0000000001%. It's almost impossible to brick your phone.
Root have stopped working.
I9505, 4.2.2, XXUAMDE.
The phone have been rooted for more than a year.
Yesterday I tried "Wondershare\Dr.Fone for Android" as some smemo have been lost. Im not 100% sure this is why the root was lost.
Today I downloaded CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar.md5 and re-rooted using Odin3.
The process seemed to run fine - but SuperSu cant start - get the "no binary fil installed" error.
What can I do?

Will CF Auto Root work on an S4 (Android 4.4.2) with the baseband version I9505XXUGNJ3? I really can't afford a new phone but I want to root this one so I'm taking as many precautions as possible. Thanks.

I would install a custom recovery and get the root access through this one. Everytime I made that this way, works pretty good. I'm always using philz touch recovery

Hi!
I am willing to root my Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 (brand-Vodafone Italy and running XXUGNJ5 firmware) using CF Auto-Root, in order to flash TWRP and Google Edition ROM on it.
It is not a network-locked smartphone, but just "branded" (it gets some easily uninstallable Vodafone bloatware each time I update it via OTA, however I can use whatever SIM I want in it): is it risky for me to root it using Chainfire Auto-Root?
Rooting a nordic s4
I got a nordic s4.
Xxugnj8 4.4.2. I OTA 1 week ago.

Rooting I9505G running LRX21P
Hi all,
I tried rooting my I9505G running Lollipop 5.0.0 LRX21P. I used ODIN and CF-Auto-root. SuperSu now wants to update, but the update fails.
I later realized that the CF version I used was not meant for Lollipop. Thankfully, my device is still working normally.
Any ideas on how to root?
Thanks a ton!
Hi, I'm new to Samsung and just wanted to know if anyone has been able to successfully root XXUFNC5? I got 4.4.2 and Knox running on it.

hi,
it is possible to root actual firmware
PDA: I9505XXUGNK4
with current rootkit for KOT49H.I9505XXUGNJ8 ?
if not, when is update comming?
Hey everyone,
I'm new here but have a decent knowledge base on what i'm looking for. I recently acquired a Galaxy S5 (ATT). Model is : G900A. It's on Android 4.4.4. I'm having a tough time tracking down specific information for this device. What i'm looking for:
1. A root option aside form Towelroot, as it doesn't support my device and I can't seem to find another that would support the ATT version.
2. Does this root option trip knox?
3. Which Recovery software would be best suited for this device if any at all?
Any help would be appreciated. I'm hoping the information i've found is outdated and i'm just missing something but any additional info would be helpful or at least give me better insight to the position S5 rooting is at. Thanks!
Is there anyone with this knowledge?
Check the att galaxy s5 general section there are threads about this. Quick summary for you though, the only option is towelroot but you need to downgrade, towelroot does not trip knox, the only recovery availanle is safestrap and you can only flash tw based roms so no aosp or aokp or CM.

Thank you so much for the rundown. I've looked further into it and had a couple more questions that can hopefully be answered for my clarity.
1. I downloaded 4.4.2 from sammobile, i'm assuming it's stock and won't trip knox.
2. Is there a certain version of Odin I should use as to again, not trip knox.
3. Once I root on 4.4.2, is there a vanilla version of a ROM w/ TW that I can install to retain most functionality that i've gotten used to?

Use the downloads from the thread, not sammobile. You cannot trio knox as far as i know on the att model. Ya tbere are a few roms, theyre all touchwiz based due to the fact that its the only roms you can flash since the bootloader is locked, just check the att s5 android development section and pick your favorite.

What I meant was finding a legit stock ROM. I can't seem to locate any here on this site unless i'm really making a fool of myself. I'm trying to downgrade my phone to 4.4.2 and towelroot it. Then find a good rom for 4.4.4. I have no problem installing a TW ROM. There's just so much information and so many ROM's it's difficult to narrow down a process for my specific resolution. I do appreciate the patience so far and thanks again for more info! Also, do you know which verison of Odin I should grab?
bump up.
You'd better ask in the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5 forum for more support.
I found this by snooping around a little more.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...-g900aucu2aoa1-4-4-4-2-3-2015-t3021120/page19
That worked. For anyone else having trouble locating information, check the above link. Worked for me!

Did you even use Google?
Maybe try something like "Root I9515 Lollipop"??
The first result tells you how. Cf auto root.

No. You can search it for yourself. I even gave you the instructions what to type. This is not a helpdesk for you to be lazy.

I tried that too but I'm only receiving things about the I9505. And if I've found one result about rooting the I9515, I only see posts telling how to root on an earlier version. So I'd like to know what site you saw about rooting the I9515 running on Android 5.0.1 as you said.
Thank you.
Read his post carefully. When he did that search, what was the first result he said popped up? Search for that.

I've got a result called rooting I9505 running kitkat 4 . Something
And when you read that link what does it tell you to do?
cf autoroot doesn't work properly on Lollipop. You will have the following issues:
1. you will notice that Android will update only 1 app on startup after the wipe
2. This is the severe one: If you wipe your cache anytime after you've rooted your phone, you will softbrick ist. No single app will work, you won't make it to the home screen.
Some guy tried it here: Android Lollipop 5.0.1 Rom with ROOT
I recommend one of the following methods:
Install this CWM 12.1 for i9515, it works quite fine: [ROM][CM12.1][UNOFFICIAL][2015-09-18] CM12.1… | Samsung Galaxy S 4 i9500, i9505, i9505G, i9506 | XDA Forums
Root is preinstalled.
OR, and this will be a pain in the ass: Wipe your phone, Install Kitkat, root it, and update to Lollipop via FlashFire. I myself did this according to THIS instructions, although I don't speak Spanish i managed to do it. It's actually pretty easy. Google Translate will help you out with critical info.
That must be an I9515-specific problem. If you're having issues, let Chainfire know, as CF-Autoroot works perfectly on all the other devices.
Hi guys,
I'm trying to figure out how I can install Lollipop for my SM-N900V which is rooted with TWRP and Safestrap on Baseband N900VVRUCNC4 and Build number KOT49H.N900VVRUCNC4. I've looked into ArayaMod and Jasmine but I'm super confused about how to go about the install. Do I need to flash stock 5.0 via Odin and then flash a custom ROM? Do I need to install from an SD card?
I'm pretty discouraged and I'm almost ready to just flash the stock 5.0 and lose root privileges if it's possible.
I hope this doesn't seem too vague but if someone could just point me toward a decent thread or video to give me some direction I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Jeff
