Hi,
I am new to rooting. Will this reset my phone to a stock-setting? Meaning, will all of my apps and widgets configuration stay after rooting?

Ha ha ha! You are funny man... Did you just say Verizon and root in the same sentence? Lol I can guarantee you that Verizon has this bad boy LOCKED down just like AT&T will too. I made the switch to T-Mobile and while the coverage is not as good, I can root and rom ALL of my devices that I paid for.
is there an OS X version? we never get love

I did the same for the very same reason. Verizon's coverage was amazing, but everything was completely locked down, so I'm now on t mobile.
The T-Mobile Galaxy S6 Edge will be the first Galaxy phone i've owned. I've heard about KNOX but is/has there ever been a root method for Galaxy devices that doesn't trip knox? And is it easy or possible to untrip knox?

It will probably be 6 or more months before Verizon variant is rooted,.
Note 4 is still not rooted.
@owenbeals, I noticed that you don't mention anything about the consequences of tripping Knox. There are noobs watching your stuff who aren't even sure what rooting is, much less what tripping Knox would do. I would hate to see one of them find out that they have voided their warranty the hard way on such an expensive device. IMO, it would a good idea to mention what tripping Knox does in the OP in red letters to warn people who otherwise wouldn't know.

Will there be a way to unroot (I recall the Superuser app having an option) or will we need a recovery? It's been about a year since I had an android device and rooted an android device so I don't know if the that process got any better.

Thanks. I've only had this phone for a few weeks, and I immediately started looking for a root process to get rid of bloatware. Very confusing situation. Lots of posts about One Click Root, Towelroot, etc....all very misleading, for a noob to Samsung. I had already seen the post you suggested, but (at this point) am not terribly interested in the downgrading route. Maybe later. Keep hopeing one of the brilliant devs here will figure out a way to root without downgrading first.

This is what people don't understand: No one is working to root this phone on lollipop. There are assuredly folks working to crack the OS in general, but frankly no one cares about a legacy phone now that the S6 is out. So until L is exploited, there won't be any news for this phone.
So if your phone came with an OS lower than OE1, your only choice right now is to backup, downgrade, TR, profit. There is no one-click-root for the 900V. Honestly, just take half a day and do it. You'll be glad you did for just AdAway!

nah, nah, I was full of it. Apologies. See - what the carriers don't want you to know is that there are actually TWO versions of a device - the consumer version, which is completely locked down (as it should be), and the developer version of the device. OK, yeah the developer version of a device usually costs twice as much as the consumer version - but the bootloader is unlocked, it's easy to flash away the stock, non-root consumer ROM without fear of bricking, and its APIs probably have many more functions that help with debugging and performance tuning. So as a professional developer what I need to do is trade in my Galaxy S5 consumer edition for the developer edition, and I'll be able to install MultiROM, CyanogenMod, SuperSU, and all the other developer candy.

You have to read what he wrote. If your Verizon consumer edition phone has the OE1 or OG5 build you have the locked down signed bootloader. If your Verizon consumer edition has a build prior to OE1, you can still downgrade to KitKat, root, and run a few ROMs through Safestrap or Flashfire.

I have never rooted any of my devices ever, and by what I here.. Shame on me.
I need to get the most outta my phone and clean it up from factory crap. I love the ability to customize my phone, but I have no clue where to start.
An very nervous of "bricking?" my phone or messing it up. I'm tech savvy so I think it wont be to hard...? What would I be able to do with my phone when it is rooted? Will it void my warranty and can it ever go back? I remember when I first heard about rooting and people where "Bricking" phones left and right... Kinda the reason I never ventured into rooting. Well I put my big boy pants on and ready to go.. lol I would appreciate any help.
More than likely you purchased your phone already running lollipop, and if so, you can't root. Not yet, anyway.

Like the OP I, too, just bought an S5 but I bought it from a guy, NOT from Verizon. SO it's running Android 5.0 already. That's Lollipop, right?
Even though I have used Android for years I don't know all the terms (and am new to the XDA site). Is there a FAQ or something listing the basic stuff?
I got my old phone repaired -- a Samsung S3 running Android 4.4.2 -- so I presume it will be easier to learn to root, and I might want to start there.
UPDATE -- partly answering my own question by going to the xda-developers.com homepage and then scrolling to the bottom to see "root any device." I can see I still have a lot to learn, but there's some good info there

So you read in these forums that the S5 5.0 cannot be rooted, but then you ask if anyone knows how to root it. Trust me, if someone had figured out how to root 5.0 on the S5 it would be very prominent in these forums. No one knows how to root 5.0 builds of OE1 or newer on the Verizon S5. Not sure how much clearer that can be stated like it was earlier in this thread.
Hello, I just installed TRWP and custom firmware, so my knox obviously is broken. I was wondering is there a way to make samsung pay work yet? Or maybe Android pay? I really liked nfc payments.
If you have a gear watch you may be able to sideload an older version of SPay onto each and have a working SPay on your watch.
Not sure if that technique works for this device or only non Samsung devices though...
But otherwise, no you won't have working SPay on your 0x1 device. Android Pay probably, yes.

The way Android Pay works is by using a check called SafetyNet. Magisk fools the system with root by being a systemless root so nothing is tampered with, and in a nutshell, SafetyNet passes its checks and such Android Pay works.
Samsung Pay uses a different set of checks which fail majority of the time. There's been a few instances where people have been able to use Samsung Pay with the use of Magisk but is patched rather quickly.

Samsung Pay stores info in KNOX, so blowing your e-fuse kills Samsung Pay for the life of the device. Doubt there's a way around it.

It's a fuse located on mainboard which is being "blown" after unlocking the bootloader / rooting. So there's no way to revert this unless you change the mobo on it.... Which I doubt ?
With Magisk, Android Pay is working flawlessly. I'm using it all the time on Note8 port.

Nope and never will work. It's a hardware efuse on the main board of the phone. It's literally trips and burns out. You can't flash stock or anything to revert it.
The only way you can revert it is to buy a new motherboard.

Unfortunately, once you rooted your Sammy device you can't get features such as Samsung Pay back due to the blown e-fuse. However, rooting with Magisk will let you use Google Pay. I've been using it basically every day for the past 6 months and not once have I missed Samsung Pay. If by any chance your phone doesn't pass the SafetyNet check there is always modules such as MagiskHide Props Config which will let you change your fingerprint to a certified one, therefore passing the SafetyNet check.
I thinks that we are going to face software instability if we did so. Right ?
I dont think that we need any other custom rom .
So i am thinking of just rooting without installing any custom rom . If i will , it will be only For the z sake of using TWRP.
What is bothering me the silence of all Note FE forum .. no news .. nothing at all . What do you think !!
Limitation number of sold phone is the reason. Even with stock phone, we dont have software support like S7e. Anyway, its ur choice. And would like to use Samsung services in their mobile device so i keep it non root.

That popular than the Note FE. And at the time of Note 3, there is no huge difference between root and non root about Samsung services. So u can compare these device. I also used S4 and my opinion is try to use Samsung device that official release in your country and not root it if u not have another High end Samsung Device ?

So i am thinking of just rooting without installing any custom rom . If i will , it will be only For the z sake of using TWRP.

What's the reason that you want root? I don't find it necessary at all.

You are right .. but for me maybe Because There is no updates, nothing new ,, and for some more customization, also to be able to install some apps like tytinum back up. I am missing TWRP . Thanks anyway

It's up to u. With customization, there will have substratum for that (at least it enough for most of people). With backup, u have cloud and SmartSwitch. And uptake, i think it really not necessary as Samsung Firmware is really good enough for most of situations. Basically, i dont see anything better if rooted Note FE.

Thanks. But I used to root my old note 3 with no problems in Samsung apps , also I got updates every time when I revert back to the original software. And as you said : there is no support beside updates are always very late.

root on older samsung phones like the note 3 is very different from how it affects the phone with modern samsung devices. you will lose access to Samsung Pay, Samsung Members, and Google Pay

But Google Pay wont have large number of accept place. Samsung Pay have large number of accepted place. Google Pay wont be affected by root. Samsung Pay, root mean lost forever.
So i think it will be very hard to decied root flagship Samsung device.
Unless you are a software developer there is no reason to actually root a modern android device. As the latest version of Android is pretty efficent.
Root is not really important for android user today. I just wonder why there are so few custom roms for note FE lol..
Root is for customization. Nowdays theres option to customize even if ur device is not rooted.
This is the only android device which I have not rooted as I find not that helpful as most of the feature and customization which we use to get through the root are already available even in the low spec phone
