As the title says, I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900V with CID starting with 11. I've searching tons of pages looking for a way to finally get root or install another ROM. I'm using Android 6.0.1.
I've read a tutorial here where explain how to get root doing a downgrade and installing a Lollipop ROM, but I don't want to leave Marshmallow .
So let me know if I'm right: I don't have any other options to change my ROM? Do I have to keep my phone with this ROM forever? Do we any hope to unlock the bootloader someday? or that's impossible and no one cares about that?
Thank you very much.

Hi guys,
Please excuse my ignorance and thanks for taking the time helping noobs like myself.
So im looking at rooting my S5 to enable me to delete the bloatware and tidy it up a little while not flashing a custom rom but have a few questions. I'm sure they've all been answered but like most things online, the more questions i find answers to, the more seem to pop up.
So firstly I've got a G900F running lollipop. As im only looking to gain root access and not install a custom ROM do i need to downgrade to KK. If this is the case can i pick any date version of the sammobile site, or should i just choose the most recent.
Secondly to root the phone should i just follow the instructions on the link below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gala...ethod-t2843044
They're not crystal clear to me so are there any all out noob guides out there?
Will doing either of these also wipe my phone and regardless should i back it up and if so using what?
Oh but that link i posted doesnt work so....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-root-triggering-knox-2nd-method-t2843044
That one however does!
My friend and I are noobs and want to root our Note 4 - n910cxxu1coi4 phones running 5.1.1. There has not been a custom kernel released (to our knowledge) and we wanted to know where there is documentation on what files we need, including version of ODIN to walk through the process.
We definitely need step by step instructions; some of the documentation we've come across leave steps out, or are pretty unclear. We've asked Max Lee of High on Android for assistance and he said we'd need to get a custom kernel, back up with TWRP and that he's not seen anyone root our model on 5.1.1 n910cxxu1coi4 yet. We surely cannot be the first.
All help appreciated!

hey guys, just want to start off saying that I love how helpful and informative everyone is on this site.
I've got a g900v that I newly rooted thanks to jrkrusem, I have installed the custom rom that he has on the tutorial through safestrap.
I figure i will ask before i continue and maybe brick my phone, I am slightly confused about the difference between bok3, bog5, boe1 etc.
I know Ive got a locked bootloader so no custom recovery but I would like to know which roms I can use. Basically I am looking for a little
clarification on this whole process if someone wouldn't mind enlightening me or even if there is a existing thread that I cannot find please leave a link. Thanks!

The last characters in the version designations are basically alphabetical, the order of which you can see here: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-G900V
With BOE1 and up, the bootloader was locked which prevents a downgrade.
The custom recovery for our phone is SafeStrap: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/development/safestrap-5-0-lollipop-t3313800

I was trying to install a ROM on my galaxy S5, but I can't. First, I've tried to root my phone with CF-Auto-Root-klte. Didn't work.
I've looked for an updated version of Odin (3.13), got the same error. Since I wasn't being successful with rooting, I've also tried to "flash" TWRP with odin, but I get the same error.
I've been searching about the error I get, but the solutions I have found do not work for me(I don't have the OEM unlock option on the developers options, and several guys in different threads say that G900F ain't supposed to have a locked bootloader).
Here is the error:
ammonium sulfate common name
Any ideas?

Reactivation Lock is ON.
Custom recovery is blocked by Reactivation Lock.
Turn R/L off.
as the title says i was abke to successfully frp bypass this verizon s7 that was giving to me by a friend. i included ba screenshot of its current info to help find my answer. it is on 7.0 and everything else is listed in the pic. i just dont wanna get relocked or even have to do it again cause i feel strongly that i lucked out on that try tbh. and i dont know if i should upgrade and root, stay where im at i think ull understand what im asking. thanks to anyone that has any input.
EDIT///throwing the edit just in case this post somehow helps someone in the future the answer to the question asked above is yes you can. A lot of weird shifts going to happen different than the directions given in the Rom dev thread and your face lots of froot loops and we are shutdowns but eventually you'll have root and or the custom rom from the rom thread.
