Hi, I am having some trouble rooting my device and a friend suggested I try here. : ) I have tried using several programs on my own, which probably wasn't the best way to go about it since I'm not particularly technically savvy. My attempts to use KingRoot, Kingo ROOT, and towelroot were futile. They all resulted in a similar message being that my device isn't supported or something like that. I am hoping there is some other quick and simple way to root my phone without a custom recovery or anything along those lines. I don't know about all these sorts of things and don't want to try anything too complex. I also want to try and root my phone without voiding my warranty if possible, but I know it's not likely. I am hoping someone can help me find an easy solution. It would be much appreciated. : )
My Device: Samsung Galaxy s5
Model number: SM-G900V

i am also looking for a method to gain root, unlock bootloader, debloat, and unlock network.
unfortunately it seems developers have not bothered to work on android 6.0+ marshmallow for the galaxy s5.
after all the phone is now almost 3 years old now and they're likely spending their efforts to work on newer phones and devices.
Already tried CF-AutoRoot? its in developing thread, works in mm
The Verizon S5 has its own dedicated forum. Check there.

Hi. I just got an S5 Active (sm-g870a)...Running 4.4.4. I seem to be having trouble figuring out which root method works for this, and I don't want to risk bricking my phone by trying a method that I'm not sure about. I tried TowelRoot on its own, and it didn't work. Can I get a little nudge in the right direction, please? I'm just looking for a guide for the method that's confirmed to work for my phone.
Wrong forum. This is for the Verizon S5. Either find one for the Active or go to the one for the S5 on the carrier you got it from.
Hello,
I am looking to root my galaxy s5 from boost mobile (sm-g900p.04) running android 5.0.
Build number: LRX21T.G900PVPU3BOG1
I have not rooted a phone since like 2011 so I am way behind the times.
I can follow instructions, I just seem to find tutorials that cover other build numbers, and I would prefer to not mess up my phone. Could someone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance!

Thank you for your input. Im going to check it out
Im trying to understand more about the rooting.
But there are some things that puzzle me. It is about the base band number on the phone. Im not sure which update to use. I have lollipop 5.0.2 on my phone and wish to root to novarom but Im not sure that I can use it because it has a different code //download.chainfire.eu/481/CF-Root1/CF-Auto-Root-kccat6-kccat6xx-smg901f.zip?retrieve_file=1[/url] ( [Recovery][kccat6][G901F][31.12.15] TWRP 2.8.7.1 Touch Recovery). So what can I use KCCAT6 on my FXXU1BOC4 phone?
I also understand that custom roms not always the best for my phone?
Do I start with Odin and CF autoRoot ? But I also see that I can use Odin with TWRP/CMW recovery and than download bootloader and modem.
I guess it is a bit abracadabra for the newby but Im really interested to learn more so please be patient with me.
I don't want to brick my phone so Im trying to get it right.
Heya. I was wondering that is there a method for root on the s5 on 5.0. (there must be) but i was wondering with locked bl? Its ok if its unlocked if i get a great how to guide how to unlock the bl. Model number up on the title. I have no idea of any unlocking or anything with samsung devices. This s5 is the only samsung device i have. And as i dont use it at all, i need root and (if i can) unlocked bootloader, so i can get it to some use. I have alot or well experience with unlocked bootloader/rooted xperias but samsung is a whole new world to me lol. The basics must be same but its still another world from sony. So ? Im too lazy to read any other rooting threads for the s5 so i just want quick and helpful answers thx!
I know about cf autoroot but i heard that its risky
Also i want android 4.x.x.! That is my main wish for my s5.
Yes it is possible, there are plenty of guides here

And even if you just Googled "Root G900F" you'd likely find them too
I own an Samsung S5 Prime (SM-G906L) running on Android 6.0.1. At its age, yes it still works quite fast(S805+3gb ram).
Is there any way to unlock its bootloader? I can't literally do anything with it. I was planning to root and install a custom rom.
may want to check these types of threads out, I dont own this device nor have i played with it, but maybe some good info can be found here for you
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-stable-smooth-deodex-t3388014
I tried rooting the phone using cf auto root, etc but I came across some info that in order to root and install a custom rom, bootloader should be unlocked. And the thing is, I can't find any way to unlock it. It's really frustrating.
