new? - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

there is a new updates on pf4 that can be rooted in this days?

PF4 is only rootable if your CID starts with 15.

You can't root mm on s5 Verizon
you have to downgrade using Odin to pb1 or ok3 firmware
Download Samsung drivers from Samsungs website for s5 Verizon
First make a backup with Samsung smart switch or whatever way you prefer
Then backup any other important data to your computer
downloads ok3 or pb1 firmwares from sammobile . Com
Download Odin to your Pc and install it
Connect phone to pc using USB cable flash firmware you downloaded in Odin in ap/ pda slot
If it bootloops boot to recovery and wipe data factory reset and wipe cache
if it still bootloops flash kernel file in odin from JrKruse ok3 root method the download includes ok3 kernel and pb1 kernel
Then go to JrKruse ok3 root method on xda under s5 Verizon section to get root

Like I said, it is rootable if the CID starts with 15. If it starts with 11, you're out of luck

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

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?

Rooting a verizon galaxy s5

So i just received a new galaxy s5 and I would like to root if possible. I've seached and it all seems a little confusing. Its an s5 running 6.0.1. 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

Go to Samsung website and download USB drivers for s5 verizon
Go to Sammobile. Com and download ok3 or pb1 firmware
Boot phone into download mode
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
To get root go to JrKruse ok3 root method on xda under s5 Verizon section

PF4 pre rooted firmware

Looking into a root for this device and found this guide: http://www.androidinfotech.com/2016/08/samsung-s5-g900v-verizon-rooted-marshmallow-firmware.html?m=1
I'm currently downloading a 1.6g firmware file that is supposed to be PF4 stock pre rooted. I have never had a root on this device and I'm not sure if this is the best method. It worries me that I see no mention of this method on XDA as this site is my usual go to for all root methods I have used before.
This will not root your device
Make a backup with Samsung smart switch or whatever way you prefer to use
Make sure to Move all important data to pc via USB cable
The best way to root is this method ok3 root method on xda under s5 Verizon section here http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370
You will have to downgrade to lolipop ok3 or pb1 firmwares from Sam mobile.com firmware section
This will cause a soft brick boot to recovery mode and wipe data and cache
Make sure you remember Samsung account sign in info
Then it will boot set it up then go to the root thread
