To start I am very noobish at rooting and such so please be patient with me. So i had rooted my verizon galaxy s5 that was on 5.0 . then i used flashfire to update to the new 6.0.1. but have lost my root i thought from what i read this would help me keep my root . Is there anyway to get my root back even if I have to downgrade back or something. Once again i am very noobish at all of this so any clear help would be wonderful.

Just got my S5 yesterday... i wanna root but after much reading it doesnt seem the same as rooting the S3. Since lollipop will be pushed out soon should i wait untill after i upgrade to 5.0?? Thanks
+1 ...my new S5 is pestering me with an OTA. Should I let it before root? Can I determine what the OTA is without initializing it?
Thx guys!

The OTA is NK2. I guess it depends how bad you want root? #1, we don't have a time frame yet as to when VZW will start pushing Lolipop and #2, there's no assurances that we'll even be able to attain root on 5.0.x
I just got a SM-N900V Galaxy Note 3 Verizon currently running 4.4.2
I am getting constant pop-ups that Verizon wants to update my phone.
I want to root my phone so that I can write to the SD card.
I don't want to mess up anything.
Somebody please help me get started in the right direction.
I don't want to end up with a brick.
On android 4.4.2 you can Root with Towel Root (google search it), then follow this guide to disable any further OTA if you are staying stock root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2753732.
Hey guys, I'm in a really tough situation here and would SERIOUSLY appreciate help I unrooted my galaxy s5 with the "full unroot" method in the Supersu app so that I could update my phone to lollipop but after I unrooted, i tried to update myphone via OTA but it keeps saying I can't because I modified the system in some way then I tried to reroot with kingroot but kingroot still can't root my phone so now I'm stuck without the update and no root! Please help me I want to reroot my s5 my specs are Samsung Galaxy s5 SM-G900H with XXU1ANG3 THANKS IN ADVANCE!
So which Android version are you on at the moment? KitKat or Lollipop? I had to install a custom recovery in order to be able to root Lollipop by just flashing SuperUser whereas in KitKat I would have had to use CF-Auto-Root (I'm not sure if it works on L) or TowelRoot, which unfortunately did not work on my device because I have the G900H as well.
EDIT: I just carefully re-read your post and it seems that you're still on Kit-Kat, so I would use CF-Auto-Root and ODIN in order to reroot the device. Does it trigger the knox alarm? I honestly have no idea but I sure hope it doesn't. I triggered mine because I couldn't care less about warranties in Egypt.
Okay thank you so much for your suggestion but I have another question. In case I soft brick my phone during the Odin process (which I have in the past) how do I flash it back to normal or something like that, I'm pretty new at these root methods :/ I have never installed a rom so I'm still on stock
Has any of you android geniuses gotten any closer to a root solution for the S5 G870A.. PB3??? I'M DYING HERE I NEED MY ROOT.. ROOT.., THANKS
the only way is to find a first release phone and never let it ota. since they are used to pay for things now rooting is history
Probably a stupid question here but I need to ask it. I have read through most of the solutions here for rooting my s5 g900v but can not find the right files to do this. Can someone provide a link to the files or tutorial?
I am trying to root my samsung galaxy s5 G900V running lolipop 5.0 with V is the carrier.
Can someone help me with getting the right trwp file for the g900v ? I do not see it anywhere.
Thanks,
