It's unclear if the CF auto root package for the 900F also encompasses the 900FD. You could try posting in the CF auto root thread to see if anyone can answer that authoritatively. Perhaps you would at least get a sense of confidence if enough people confirm that they have done so successfully.
In the alternative, see if you can locate and install a 100% stock pre-June 3rd build of 4.4.2 for your 900FD duos. If there is a pre-June 3rd build, it should be ameniable to using the Towel root method.

Yes buddy, I have pre-June 24rth build of 4.4.2 for my 900FD duos but Towel root method also didn't work and Towel root admin officially confirmed that my device is not yet among the devices rootable using Towel Root method, any other workable but safe solution ?

thank you again, it is really working and I really appreciate your help.
now my phone is rooted.

rom
Now since we got the root, I guess we need a good recovery and good cooked rom to get rid of unwanted software provided by Samsung.
I always recommend omega rom, but I don't if anything new coming from Mr. Omega.

Don't hold your breath for custom roms in the meanwhile, after Samsung release updates specially to higher versions of android you would see these roms.
besides, you have root, you can remove the bloatware and unwanted samsung crappy apps. Moreover, I believe that phiz recovery is the best out there and has all the wanted features. Lastly you can install the xposed framework to manipulate the stock rom's features and add as much things as you can :good:

there are many ways to uninstall bloatware/system apps ..
from root explorer to titanium backup or else.. but the easiest way is "root uninstaller" from Google Play Store:
there is a pro version also if your are interested.
BUT BE CAREFUL AND DO BACKUP BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH UNINSTALLING SYSTEM APPS BECAUSE YOU MAY BRICK YOUR DEVICE IF YOU ARE NOT AWARE OF WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

only reason is to install foldermount to allow me to install my whatsapp in the SD card.

All i need is the above CF Auto-root ?
Thank you

New method to root the S5 mini (g800h) on lollipop

As most of the users dont like the russian method of rooting on 5.1.1 due to the unknown kernel source and others dont trust it i dont know why :v
Dj_steve made his own kernel that works with Su just like the russian one
Kernel link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5-mini/orig-development/kernel-custom-tweaked-kernel-5-1-1-tw-t3266618
Recovery link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5-mini/orig-development/recovery-qualcomm-twrp-2-8-7-0-t3245256
And finally Su link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwuSX5zRNLjtTVhzd3J2YXgwaTQ/view?usp=docslist_api
Installation :
Flash the recovery with odin
Flash the kernel with the recovery
Flash the Su.zip with the custom recovery
All done
Now you're rooted
Thanx for Dj_steve for making the kernel
thanx for jackeagle for making the recovery
Thanx for chanfaire for making Su
and finally thanx to blue cat from 4pda for his kernel that explained that we have to disable some sammy security stuff in order to obtain root access
Have a nice day

sasukesama said:
The latest version of kingroot is fully working without issue and without the need of installing a custom kernel like the Russian method which most of you dont trust it i dont know why : v
No pc required
just downloaded the apk from kingroot site and fire it up

Dj_steve made a kernel that works with su like the Russian one
you can use it as fast as its ready

It's not working

Ok i think i know the problem
I've completely forgot that ive removed knox from my rom so i think its the key
so i want you guys to test this:
Install the alpha twrp from rvr because jackeagle recovery wont loads aroma
Use the cleaner in my "smooth your tw " thread to remove knox without the need of rooting
Now restart your device and try to root it with kingroot
Please test and report so i can update the post if it works

The thing is that i wanted kingroot to replace Su by overwriting su root and takeing it place because samsung dont have kernel protection against it
try to wipe data with twrp>>>root with su>>>>root with kingroot>>>uninstall su apk from system
this should work 100% as it a complete clean

Root problems remains
Having a bit of a problem with rooting G800H/DS. I have used either the Russian or Indian 5.1.1, and rooted with the Russian or DJ_steve's kernel + recovery + SU. Removed Knox with Titanium Backup. Everything works fine for a day or two, but then suddenly when rebooting the phone gets stuck in a reboot cycle. Anybody else having the same problem, or hopefully a solution?

It can! All you gotta do is uninstall Magisk and it'll ask you to restore the stock boot image. Once you've done that. All you need to do is downloading FlashFire [Root] and flash the OTA. :good:

Yes Gapps Can Be Installed with flashfire. Just install flashfire, then allow it root access.
Now click + sign and click again "Flash zip file"
now do nothing just click ok and flash it.
Your phone will be restart and run flashfire in boot, it will install gapps. after restart your phone gapps will be there.
