No, there is no other root available.

Even if there is an exploit in kernel you can use, Dm-verity will not be happy about your root files. Just like what happen to note 4. I can be responsible for saying that perfect root through kernel exploit won't happen at least 1 year, since Dm-verity is crazy secure.
In recovery when resetting the phone rebooting router DM Verity checks and I'm rooROM
When I'm in recovery mode and reboot the phone DMV ready checks I'm rooted on 935 you firmware

Just got my S5 and used towelroot as soon as I got it, went perfectly.
Now I updated some Samsung OTA updates and lost root. To make things worse, towelroot now says device not supported.
How can I get root back?

This has been asked and answered (a lot of times) before. So almost any forum search would have answered your questions.
Updates usually break root. So that is expected behaviour. If you value root, you should probably be blocking the OTA updater app. Ironically enough, the update your chose also blocks the Towel root exploit. You can use Odin to reinstall a pre June 3rd build of the correct stock firmware which remains amenable to Towel root.

Or just flash the updated rom next time with Mobile Odin Pro and keep root Most S5`s are supported bij MOP.

Could I just do a factory reset and not update the firmware to keep root? Would that work?

No. And I don't see a rationale for thinking that might be viable. A factory data reset wipes the /data partition i.e. user settings /apps. Whereas root is configured in the system files.

I have the update available but I didn't flash yet because I want to keep root.
Is an unlocked bootloader required to use Mobil Odin Pro to flash the Latest update?
I have a VZW SM-G900V, Rooted, Stock OS, Locked Bootloader and no Custom Recovery installed.
Update Edit:
Please disregard this question: Mobil Odin Pro does not support the SM-G900V yet.
Ep://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899[/url]
Also it should be noted that Mobil Odin Pro will not launch at all if the device is running with ART Runtime System enabled. It will only force crash with every attempt. It will launch with DALVIK Runtime System enabled however it will only post a message of incompatibility with only the option of creating a system dump file for the developer!
Towel root doesn't work on the Samsung gs5 g900a. Root is blocked on this phone from at&t.
Same thing is happening to me. I had it rooted until the phone updated itself and now I can't root it through TowelRoot anymore. This sucks.
I'm sure it won't be long before one of the clever guys around here has it figured out.
I was towel rooted before the update.

Thats a known "problem"…
Towelroot used an old kernelbug for rooting, but since june/july Samsung use a newer kernel without this bug and towelroot cannot work anymore!
But following should work:
Update the Firmware and reboot! (Wait some time after reboot, to finishing the update on reboot!)
Then flash the old Kernel (ONLY the Kernel) and root with Towelroot. Ignore the Errors that comes from old (wrong) Kernel.
After rooting flash back the actual kernel…
… FINNISH

Mine is rooted, no problems doing it.
I'm new to android.
Never done a kernel change.
I'm going to read about it.
What I do know is I was rooted with towel root, the then it installed software updates from att. At this point I was no longer rooted and towelroot now says it is incompatible with this phone.

I am about to root my Samsung Galaxy S5 and found out about FlashFire to flash updates while keeping root. I understood I will still get notifications of OTA updates, which I have to download and then flash using FlashFire. My question is: are the monthly security updates/the Android security patch level updates delivered in this way?
Thanks in advance

Yes, all of the security updates for android require a system update, which can only be performed via OTA updates.

So even if i install the latest firmware samsung S5+ (SM-G901F) trough FFire, i still can not have the security_patches installed because i am rooted and having TWRP+Xposed?
(i can not get OTA, have to download from sammobile updates)
There is no possible way to get the security patches as a download or zip or TAR - file?

Update
For some reason FF does not install the fw trough option Firmware, (logfile Flasfire says something on the end like " no space left on device" like that) ... so I flashed the sammobile_firmware trough odin without wipe first. I re_flashed twrp and in there flashed chainfire root again and ended up with latest fw AND security patch Sept 1st.
All apps and Xposed etc working unchanged like before.

Device: ZE550KL
Old ROM: Pre-rooted 1.15.40.639 by @shakalaca
Current ROM : Stock 1.17.40.1234
Bootloader: Locked
I had first gained root by flashing the pre-rooted fastboot files. 3 weeks ago I flashed stock 1.17.40.1234 to use ZE600KL's Unlock App. The Unlock app didn't work. So I went back to then latest stock. The rooted ROM was patched to prevent OTA updates. But after flashing stock ROM I should be receiving OTA updates, right? When I check for updates from settings, only "last checked" date changes. I know there is an update to 1.17.40.1531 on ASUS website, but why I am not getting OTA updates? I even tried downgrading to 1.16 and checked for updates, still no OTA updates are coming to my device. I have now flashed 1.17.40.1234. How do I get OTA feature back? My Bootloader is locked.

Please read entire OP if you really want to help. He has mentioned that he flashed stock rom v1.17.40.1234. I am in the same situation @ZenFreak
I think it's bcz of bootloader. Does the updater checks if it's unlocked or not? Cant you guys download those updates and flash via zip?

yeah, i have already done it. But the point of the discussion is to know the cause of the issue. A bootloader locked device with official asus firmware must get ota updates. Also note that people who rooted their device before unlocking are now unable to unlock their ze550kl. I feel, this has something to do with the ota feature
Most of the manufacturers use some trickery to know which devices use a rooted rom or a unlocked bootloader and I think they block those devices. I think the ota updater transmits some data back to their servers. I'm not sure about Asus but I had a Micromax device (Indian company, Chinese handsets) that use to do that kind of thing. Root checking and sending data back to server. It may be using the imei numbers to do that. Still it's a guess . I'll have to check to be sure.

Flash From ADB tools
You must Download Recovery File and Boot image file and then the latest firmware file.
then Flash it through ADB tools. and apply the updates. that will help

I had same issues with losing root when i flashed the cf-root file direct through odin. Best thing to do is flash Twrp recovery through odin, then flash the superuser file via Twrp. Thats best way for permanant root. Good luck

I installed latest twrp and latest stable supersu 2.65 and it did not work.
Edit: after twrp-ing supersu beta 2.74 finally root is working! Thanks.
