Hi guys, I want to root my wife's Galaxy S5 / SM-G900F running Android 6.0.1. Although I'm quite familiar with rooting android I know Samsung can be tricky - the question is: will the existing version of CF-Root
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696537
work for all baseband versions for 6.0.1? On CF-Root download page baseband version specified is MMB29M.G900FXXU1CPD3 ---- but mine is MMB29M.G900FXXS1CPJ1?
Big thanks, Majo
I don't know but i prefer to install twrp and then flash supersu.
This is my method for 3 years

Thanks man, will do it with ODIN for TWRP flashing. But just to make sure and confirm - beside flashing SuperSU no further unlocks (like bootloader etc) is needed for Samsung S5?? I want to install custom ROM...
Thanks for reply in advance!

In my g900fd i only flashed twrp by odin, reboot to recovery, flash supersu.
I think this is the only requirements

Hi,
I can't seem to root my new galaxy note 3. I am using an international device with 4.4.2 KitKat. During the cache.img process Odin gives an error and softbricks my device. What am I doing wrong here?
(SM-N9000Q
Baseband: N9000QJVUDNB1)
Thanks
*Edit: Sorry about the typo, it's 4.4.2 not 4.2.2

What rooting method did you use?
Why nobody has time to state relevant info when asking for help
I don't know, maybe the same reason why people have attitude when they clearly offer no help at all.
Anyhow, I did not specify it because I did not know there were several methods. I used Odin and CF-Auto for n900 devices. Is there a more reliable way to root Kitkat devices?

I did exactly that with two different Odin versions. The installation got stuck at "cache.img" and failed both times. I used to have an SIII and I thought I knew my way around android and rooting, but apparently not. I'm completely lost here.

You could flash a custom recovery with Odin and then flash superSU.zip in that recovery, that would get you rooted too Link cwm recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2454079.

Better check the CWM site i gave you before you start flashing if the N900Q is supported, i don`t see that specific model listed in there as it is listed for Turkey only. I see support for the N900S,T,W but not Q!

I'm having trouble finding a mod/rom that is compatible with the verizon samsung galaxy note 3, Anyone know what is?
Really don't understand you ? There several roms with galaxy note 3 ..but the question is are you rooted ..do you have safestrap installed ..which version of android are you on 4.3mje / 4.4.2 NC4 ...are you rooted you would get better results with all of that included in your question ...

Sorry, i'm kind of new. My phone is rooted, i have checked but i don't have safestrap installed. It is 4.4.2.
Well to flash Rom you have to have safestrap implemented so please install safestrap download the apk and run it except supersu and install boot into safestrap first make a backup of your current Rom check the Verizon note 3 android development thread for available roms download the one you want and boot back into safestrap wipe data factory reset / system and flash to the stock slot ...ooh if you towel rooted your Rom there a fix in the beans nc4 thread with instructions on how to proceed with that good luck !!

I've decided to unroot, do i have to do that fix before i install a recovery (Cwm or Twrp)?
From my understanding you have to be rooted to place a recovery on your device (Cwm or Twrp)...

you unroot by flashing the stock Odin file, or using your root method to unroot.
there is no recovery available. safestrap is our wonderfully built recovery alternative due to a locked bootloader on the 900v. do not try and flash cwm or twrp.

Or visit the official thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783157 and use the new and improved version.
I have a SM-900F and this doesn't work on it. When I click on the logo inside the app, it says that it is not yet compatible with my device
Same here...This phone isn't currently supported (S5)

im on 4.4.4
4.4.4 has no root so if you flash it with Odin your root will be gone.

You can NOT flash anything except 4.4.4 or 5.0
Nothing.
No custom ROMs, no Jasmine...no nothing.
No root either...you are stuck with standard Verizon software/firmware

Newbie here, so patience would be appreciated [emoji4]
I'm rooted with Echoe custom ROM but after noticing some battery drain (not blaming the ROM) I want to go back to a stock ROM and keep the root.
What would be the way to flash back to stock ROM and keep the root? I've seen 2 methods on XDA chainfire and the TWRP option. But I'm confused coming from a custom ROM.
I'd be grateful for any help [emoji1]
You can just flash stock rom while odin and reroot with either chain fire or twrp method

Thanks for your help. Is there any advantages using chainfire over TWRP and vice versa.

I'm not sure.
TWRP method require you to format internal storage to disable encryption but CF method won't.
