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
Download odin off the Internet
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

I am using note 3 i got it from hkk and i guess its rooted thats why i am not getting any update for 4.4 so can anyone help me with it
Model no SM-N9005
Android version 4.3

Wrong section of wrong forum. You need to be in the standard note 3 forum, not tmo (sm900t), and in the q&a/help section, not development.

You will not be able to get the ota or kies updates since your phone is rooted.
The best way to get the latest 4.4 Kitkat firmware is to go to SamMobile.com
and find the SM-N9005 official odin flash rom/firmware for your phone.
Good luck!
reallysorry but please can you tell me how to install it as i'm new in it and there are many issues in my current rom so please and if possible can you suggest me the rom i should install so that i can have all s-pen features

No offense but this is the worst kind of people here...people who root their phones without reading every single important thread carefully, ending up messing their phone up and blaming it on their "new-ness", so we gotta spoonfeed them.
Regardless, go to Sammobile and download an N9005 stock ROM for your region. Then use Odin to flash it. Check using that app above to make sure you have an N9005 bootloader (first four characters are N9005) to make sure you have an N9005 or you'll end up with a brick. Or you could go to the flashable modems thread and flash an MJ3 N9005 modem in Odin.

You have to install SuperSU from the Play Store, and grant root permission for this app to work.
Otherwise it will wait for the permission accepting, once your phone has been rooted.

Setting up Odin :
1. Make sure you have installed the Samsung usb drivers for windows.
2. Run Odin as administrator in windows.
Add the TAR/MD5 file in the PDA section/slot in odin.
4. Now that Odin is setup, put the phone in download mode and connect usb cable.
Power off the phone then press 'home+power+volume down' buttons at the same time.
Keep the buttons pressed till Download mode appears.
5. Now that Odin and the phone are setup, connect the usb cable from phone to computer.
Odin will detect the device and show something like [com:4l]
6. Click START in Odin.
7. The flash will take 5 minutes for a full flash on average
8. When the flashing is complete, DO NOT disconnect usb until Odin shows ' PASS '.
9. The phone will reboot. Unplug usb cable from phone and computer then go into
recovery mode and select "factory/data reset".
That's it. Happy flashing ..!!
The SM-9005 4.4.2 Kitkat firmware from sammobile comes with the Odin Windows utility.
Unzip the zip file from Sammobile into a new empty folder in your windows desktop and
you will see the TAR/MD5 firmware file and you will see Odin after unzip is completed.
You will need to create a free account on Sammobile to be able to download
the SM-N9005 Kitkat 4.4.2 official firmware zip file.
Just follow the step by step instructions above.
Good luck!

Use my app Phone INFO and you will get all need info.
But at first you should install SuperSU if your phone has been rooted.

Could please tell me step by step because I did all of that and still nothing
Stock firmware install
You may have to use Kies3 emergency firmware recovery. Run as administrator. Install/open Kies3. plug in usb to computer, do not connect phone. select tools tab. Select Emergency Recovery and follow instructions. Good Luck
If that fails or phone not recognized, use the update/activate option in tools tab. This will put your phone on the latest firmware though, witch is 5.1.1
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

After that try these Tethering apps

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 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
