DO I HAVE TO ROOT MY PHONE TO INSTALL THIS STOCK ROM VIA CWM , AS GIVEN IN THIS LINK >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1758884
i think not since OP did not mention any root or SU privileges needed
but just to be safe,
root it
as per experience with installing different roms, from installing fresh stock rom which is not rooted to flashing custom roms. i was able to install it successfully. but just to be safe, root it as mentioned by deathnotice.
for me rooting 1st is prioterize cause example installing tweaks somekind needs root previlage... for me thats my opinion
There is no harm in rooting. That stock rom is rooted anyway
CWM Install

You don't need to root your phone to flash a custom or stock rom. The simple reason is that all custom roms are pre-rooted roms with superuser pre-installed and flashing of stock roms doesn't need rooting. Don't forget to back up your stock rom and kernel via cwm recovery if you didn't own a pc as a safety measure in case you wanted to revert back to it in the event of bootloops or otherwise. If you do have a pc, it is not necessary as you can flash back to stock rom and kernel via odin. If you don't know how to flash via odin search the forum for tutorial. In case if you don't have any odin flashable firmware package, it is advisable that you create a back up. Sorry for the long reply.

There is no need to root for the process but rooting but there is no harm if u root:good:
No need root friend....... U can always install any package without root
Info:to know more about root unroot .... Just search in google :thumbup:
The updater in Galaxy S5 can detect route and refuse to do an OTA update. While it's possible to reflash an updated stock version via recover/Kies, the process requires downloading files that are over 1GB in size and may cause root to be lost.
Is there any better solution if my intention of rooting is just to use some root utilities on top of the stock firmware?
Hi! I like to make some quick questions about root this phone...
- What is the easiest and safest way to root the S5?
- If I root my phone I will not be able to update the stock rom via OTA anymore?
- If I have a problem with phone and have to send it to the technical assistance, unrooot is possible?
Thanks in advance!

- TowelRoot, but you have to be on NE2 firmware or older. If you have the NG2 firmware you need to downgrade to NE2.
- Not if you installed supersU as a system app, if not yes and if you have superSU Pro installed and enabled survival mode you keep root after an OTA
- Yes, unroot from within the superSU app, flash a stock firmware and data factory reset and after that your warranty is restored (at the moment anyway).
I need to root an A510F/DS Android 7 STOCK UAE Firmware. I have to root this device but i can't use any PC. So Is there anyways? Kingo? And Dose Flashfire works? or Any App that will allow me to flash TWRP?
How to root my Samsung galaxy j5 android marshmallow without pc
If you have a custom recovery then you won't need a pc, like twrp or something but since your asking I doubt you have a custom recovery.
You don't need a PC to root but you do need it to unlock your bootloader which is used to flash files to give you root.
You first need to unlock the boot loader with a PC and then you can do what you want, other than that I wouldn't recommend or advise any other way
