Hi ,
I got this phone and updated to lolipop , hated how the phone was super slow and bad battery life , tried to root but failed and then upgraded to marshmellow. So I want to know of there is a way that I can root it on marshmallow or downgrade so that I can root it on lolipop
Here is some info
Baseband PD1
Kernel 3.4.1

Use Samsung smart switch and make a backup on a pc

friend all these steps to take to get the root of our kltevzw is to think twice, now I'm in the last update 2DPF4 but I would like to get the final root and to install the rom you want without all those applications verizon, what is your advice to do so according to your experience?

There is no way to root marshmallow
To get root first downgrade to pb1 or ok3 lollipop firmware
Then go to this thread to get root

Need help wiping phone

Ive been having issues with my S5. Whenever I open the play store it crashes right away. I tried everything. Even reinstalling it.
Im going to just wipe everything and re root. I flashed NK2 kernal, but it didnt look like it changed anything. All my settings were still the same from after I tried the factory reset.
How do I install a fresh install again? I dont see the instructions or files any more. Seems like you had to go down to 4.2 then 4.4 then root.
I need to get this thing rooted again by saturday. I have a trade show this weekend. Need tethering. Ill lose a lot of money if I dont.
Thanks guys
You can check what firmware you are on NY going to recovery mode. To boot into recovery turn off your phone then hold power button home button and volume up button at the same time. Then check what firmware it says on the screen.
If you are on kitkat yes downgrade to 4.4.2 download the firmware on Sammobile. Com
Flash firmware using Odin
Then setup your device
Then root your device with towel root download
Then click make it rain and you should have root
After that try these Tethering apps
http://mashable.com/2012/08/16/free-tethering-apps/#43d31vkkSmq8
If you need bootloader unlock you can go to getex's kk-mm bootloader unlock thread on xda in s5 Verizon forum
If you are on lollipop go to Sammobile. Com and download and then flash bok3 or pb1 firmware in Odin to your phone
Then set it up and go to ok3 root forum on xda under s5 Verizon and follow jrkruses method to get root
Then try the Tethering apps from the link above
If marshmallow downgrade to ok3 or pb1 then follow the lollipop instructions from there

Short on Time MOAR to 6.0x ?

I'm gone all week every week driving and have so much to do when I get in I don't have much time to follow all of the advancements. I am rooted with OD5 bootloader. Running MOAR 6.62 / 5.0 with OG5 firmware. I like the customization abilities of MOAR but it's not essential. Native tethering for the laptop on the road is critical (unlimited data). I am on the original safestrap (3.75)? I use the NI2 flasher and I'm comfortable with odin. I already use SU pro version. Is there a down and dirty way I can go up to 6.0 without having to learn new methods/apps to do so? Or what's the easiest way with my setup to achieve this?
I apologize for asking a question that has doubtless been asked a number of times. I just am so pressed for free time.
Thanx in Advance and don't scorch me too harshly with flaming !!
Steve
Is your bootloader unlocked ?
I
Check by booting into download mode and looking for developer mode if you see it flash twrp in Odin
If not go to getex kk-mm bootloader unlock thread on XDA under s5 Verizon section then
If it is Then boot into recovery and flash mm rom
I flash in this order
Do a Backup in twrp to external SD card or USB otg drive
Do a full wipe except USB storage and external SD card
Then flash mm kernel
Then flash mm modem
Then flash ROM
Then reboot
If it bootloops then flash cm13 as a base then flash your ROM again in twrp
If it doesnt bootloop you are good
If you have problems try a different ROM
No it's not a dev edition
It doesn't have to be what it does have to be to get bootloader unlock is a Samsung 15 emmc you can check this by downloading the emmc brick Bug app on Google Play
if it is a 15 Samsung emmc then you can bootloader unlock from getex kk-mm bootloader unlock thread on xda
once you get bootloader unlocked you can install TWRP using odin
from there you can install a custom marshmallow ROM in twrp
This is the fastest and easiest way
I'm sorry I should've stated it's an 11
You can't have root on mm rom with a locked bootloader so sorry man
You can be rooted on highest lollipop firmware pb1 that is it

Please point me in the right direction if there is a safe rooting method that will still work. I can provide any other information as well. Thank you for your support!
Make a backup in using Samsung smartswitch or Samsung kies 3

Connect phone to pc by USB cable
Open odin in Odin click ap/pda and choose the firmware you downloaded from sammobile. Com and click start
Then wait for your phone to boot if it gets stuck longer than ten minutes boot into recovery and wipe data and cache and reboot
Set up phone once it boots

Galaxy S7 G935F - Recovery root

Hi guys
Just got a brand new, G935F S7, would like to root and install custom recovery to install the dream S8 Port.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/root-proton-x-1-0-t3497772
I looked around, but found a few different versions of recovery and rooting options.
Is there a link i can jump to for the easiest, less risk way?
I have SM-G935F (Black Onix) and i have TWRP+Root and Custom ROM
Download:
TWRP -> Twrp-3.0.2-4-hero2lte.img.tar
Odin -> Odin
1. activate developer mode on the current system and turn on the option 'enable OEM
2. reboot phone mode to 'download mode' and flash using Odin (position AP) TWRP recovery [ATTENTION you must turn off autoreboot options in odin and after flash manually reboot the phone into recovery mode]
3. You can flash SuperSU or if you want custom rom with root:
3.1 go to options and select wipe data format - write "yes" then after finishing wipe necessarily restart phone to recovery mode [ATTENTION this operation will clear the memory of the phone without touching the data contained on the ex-scdard]
3.2 flash in the recovery file no-verity-opt-encrypt-2.2.zip
3.3 reboot phone to recovery mode
3.4 Flash your favorite rom and wait for boot up I recommend Ambasadii ROM..
Have a good day

1) Download the Stock ROM for N910V
2) Got into Download (Mode Power + Home + Vol Down)
3)Flash the downloaded firmware via Odin
4) Reboot
5)Repeat Step 2
6)Flash CF Auto Root for N910V Via Odin
and you are done
Note: This is all only possible if there is a CF Auto Root for N910V or of there are other methods of rooting N910V but since you are already on custom I am guessing there is

You might want to flash a "safe" firmware instead of the official one. If you use a non modified firmware it's going to lock your bootloader again and you'll have to do the bootloader unlock procedure again.
Link to safe firmware- this one has the bootloader removed so it won't lock your phone again. Flash that file in Odin and then flash this file using Twrp.

Can I just flash this file if I want to unlock Bootloader? I mean like download and flash this safe firmware via Odin, will that unlock ? my Bootloader?

No, unfortunately not. The "safe" firmware doesn't contain the bootloader (aka the aboot.mbn). Therefore it won't replace your currently locked/unlocked bootloader so no changes would take place either way. So whatever state your bootloader is in before you flash the safe firmware is what will remain after flashing.
I don't know if I'm making this more confusing for you or less. Let me know if I need to explain that better.
