Is there any possible way to root the Verizon Galaxy S5 running marshmallow? I've done tons of research looking for a method to obtain root, but it seems my variant doesn't have anything going for it. My phone is g900vvru2dpg2, and Android 6.0.1. I'm getting rather irritated with TouchWiz, I miss being able to change anything on my old Galaxy S3. Also please excuse me if I'm in the wrong section, I'm brand new to posting on this site.
Hi, bro. There is no method to root MM S5. But you can downgrade to Lollipop 5.0.1 and root it with Kingroot
Install this app from the market and look at the CID.
If it's 15xx... then the answer is "YES", there's a way to have a rooted Verizon Galaxy S5 running marshmallow.
If it's 11xx... then the answer is "NO", only LP.

Thanks, I've successfully downgraded but the root method provided didn't work for me. Now that I'm on lollipop I think it'll be easier to find support.

I had issues during the root process also. What I ended up doing was, after you click on the first bat file, the device sticks at the white screen. Go ahead & do the root process now. The device does NOT have to be booted into the OS for this to root. In fact that's the only way it works. I was able to get mine rooted using the method I linked above.
EDIT: If the root process hangs Close the bat, unplug phone pull battery and reboot phone to recovery (VolUp+Pwr+Home). In recovery wipe cache only and reboot. If phone reboots back to recovery instead, pull battery and manually reboot. Now plug phone back in and Launch Bat #3.
When the above happens you do NOT want to do a battery pull, just go on with the root process.

Thanks man. I forgot to update this thread, but I did eventually obtain root using the method after about the 3rd or 4th attempt. I guess I just missed steps each try. I am now on Lineage 14.1 with unlocked bootloader and TWRP

Well, it's simple.
You need to have MM ROM, unlocked bootloader and TWRP recovery.
If the ROM isn't rooted yet you can simply download SuperSU zip from chainfire.eu and flash it via TWRP.
Bootloader unlocking guide is here.
MM ROM is here or any other you like.

Simple question, I've searched for 3 days and all I see is "use towelroot" which is no longer available.
So is it just impossible to root a 3 month old Verizon Galaxy S5?
Thank you and I appreciate this site greatly.
Good evening.
As of right now, if you are on Lollipop, then yes it is impossible to root the G900V. Hopefully, soon we will find a way to root it again.
Pardon my ignorance, but is it not possible to flash back to a previous version of Android, root it, and then install the new kernel?
Edit: nevermind, reading comprehension fail. Towelroot is no longer available?

Recently got Moto X pure, and I'm loving it. Now I've rooted before, but I really don't much experience with this, (since that phone never got an OTA update, afterwards or bootloader unlocked). I wanted to ask, When it comes to rooting, Does the Operating system it is on matter? I did the OTA update from 5.1.1 to 6.0 and I'd like to root my phone now. Do I just follow a 5.1.1 guide, or is there something else I have to do? Thanks!
Dont follow the guide on youtube thats for lollipop!
---------- Post added at 09:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 AM ----------
Unlocking the bootloader is the same though, then search to trupure on the forums, its a really good minimalistic rom for the moto x pure
I would read the 6.0 thread, the twrp thread and the kernel thread to get started.

Basically.
YMMV regarding keeping TWRP as read only or not when flashing systemless root, but I kept it RO and flashed Beta SuperSU v2.62.3 and have had no problems.
Men can you root your cellphone?? i have the problem when i install SuperSU on MM stuck on boot and i dont know what to do

Once your bootloader is unlocked, flash a custom ROM with SuperSU baked in.

What's confusing though is he states in section 4 the steps are only for lollipop. To go to another link for Marshmallow. Is that still the case or can we flash Beta SuperSU the old fashioned way through TWRP? I took the MM update while on stock. I have since unlocked bootloader and installed latest TWRP. Just making sure nothing has changed.

Rooting the MXPE on MM requires systemless root because, for it to work, a modified/patched boot.img has to be flashed along with SuperSU.
The most recent versions of SuperSU patch the boot.img automatically.
If you follow the link to those MM instructions, you will find the systemless root method option. Follow the link at the top of that systemless root thread to download BETA_Super SU v.2.62-3, which is confirmed to work on our Moto XPE without issues.
Once you download it, you can flash it normally via TWRP. Profit.
Hope this helps.

That worked perfectly, THANK YOU! Found BETA_SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip, flashed via TWRP and worked like a charm. I got so confused by all the variants of devices....XT1572, XT1575, Brazil, India, US, Lollipop, Marshmallow, TWRP... I really appreciate the help!
I've been on the game for far too long, but there seems to be a confusion when
it comes to rooting this phone. All my previous phones have been fairly easy to root.
I read around a lot of forums but they have outdated information or are for Lollipop.
I have a Stock Moto X Pure edition on Marshmallow. To root this guy do i just have to unlock bootloader, flash TWRP recovery image via adb and then flash the latest version of SuperSU?
or do i need additional steps?
Thanks in advance
Do steps 9 onwards and you should be OK

I'm in the same boat as the OP. I find the available info confusing. I'm on stock MM with TWRP 2.8.7.1 installed. Looking at steps 9 on from the link above mentions flashing a modified boot image for systemless root to work with 2.52. I think the latest SuperSU (2.66? modifies the boot image, making flashing the modified unnecessary.

In the play store, download eMMC Brickbug Check. Your CID should start with 11 or 15. Sounds like if you unlocked the bootloader on PB1 and upgraded to PF4, you probably have 15.

Did you follow the instructions under "Prepare to Root?" If you did, you downgraded to PB1 (LL, Android 5.0). I followed the guide yesterday and got root, but I don't wanna unlock my bootloader to upgrade to PF4 kernal and bootloader. Last time I unlocked the bootloader, I lost my 4G. Otherwise, the guide by @jrkruse is really good ^_^ Just have the issue of not being able to run safestrap to do the last step (Flashing Knox Removal). Guess I'll just start from scratch and flash the PB1 retail image and try again.

Are there any currently working root methods for a device that is on VZW stock PG2 wth emmc 15?
I have a Verizon Galaxy S5 (G900V) that I rooted a couple of years ago and never updated any further. It's currently running 4.4.4 / NK2 and I've been looking at upgrading to a Lollipop build. I have the Toshiba 11x eMMC so it doesn't sound like Marshmallow is an option if I want to keep root. I've spent significant time rooting through the forums and I can't seem to find a method to update my phone from KitKat to Lollipop (while keeping root) that is current, has the necessary files available to download, and works. Using FlashFire and G900V_OE1_Stock_Rooted_ROM.zip followed by Odin and an OD5 bootloader is failing on my phone for whatever reason. The other methods, including muniz_ri's, don't seem to have current files available for download.
I've fried my brain searching with no success. If anyone could point me to current directions/files to upgrade from KitKat to a solid Lollipop build while maintaining my root access, it would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thank you.
I would Odin this file https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24438995911970571
That will take you to stock PB1 then follow this guide to get root https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370
Then I would use flash fire or LP safe strap to flash a ROM I recommended

So if I'm reading that correctly, I can skip to step #9 of the "Directions For Users With CID 11' Toshiba eMMC" section and then use the EMMC_11_PB1_5_0_1_LL_Firmware_Bootloader.zip and VZW_BPB1_ODEX_DEODEX_V9.zip files. Is that correct?

Let me add a caveat to that success story. I do notice that I don't have the Safestrap recovery option during the boot up process and it looks like this is expected behavior for Lollipop. The "Reboot to Recovery" option with the app is also not active or functional. What's the best way to get back the full Safestrap functionality? I found the below thread of yours but I'm not sure if the files and instructions are current. Thoughts?

I think I see where I went wrong with Safestrap but it's going to be a little while before I can investigate further. Don't want to brick my phone at work and not be able to phone home.
I'll update after I do some more troubleshooting.
Thanks again.
