Hey All:
This may be redundant, but I'm having a hell of a time rooting my friend's Galaxy S5. I've got "developers options" on the phone, but every app I've D/l to the phone has failed to root it.
Here's the phone's SPECS : model no# SMG900A build no# MMB29M.G900AUCS4DPH4. I just now gave him a SDD micro card to install. What do I have to do to get his phone rooted? Oh, have NOT tried to root phone via a PC. HEEEEELLLPPPPP!!!
THANX:

G900A cannot be rooted
usmanmalik:
One should KNOW what he/she is talking about prior to replying. FACT: You most certainly CAN root a GalaxyS5. Just look at all the video/websites explaining how to do so. My problem is finding an app that will "root" straight from the phone. I may have to use a PC to accomplish root, but rest assured, it CAN be accomplished

most of us do know what we're talking about, you? idk.
by saying a galaxy s5 can be rooted assumes you know that there are no variants, sad to say there are.
the s5 SM-G900A is att version, locked bootloader, its the s5 no one supposed to buy, its a pia. owners of the SM-G900A are sol.
read this on latest rooting effort for the SM-G900A https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/guide-merry-christmas-heres-t3516196
did i mention the g900a is a pia to its owners wanting root? gl
Vincon:
I typed in said model and was directed to many sites that, according to those sites, could/would root via using a PC. This is in direct contradiction to your reply. Now, I'll have to keep 'researching" and actually see what's going on. Just curious...why would this particular model be the ONLY one that wouldn't root. I'll be sure to check on the "complaints" registered by the owners of the G900A.

ask AT&T, thats the way they ordered their phones which is the g900a.
the g900a is spec'd only to AT&T, there is also another variant thats also locked iirc.
read the link i posted as it seems its the most upto date root info for the g900a at the moment afaik.
the g900f is the one u want and its cousins, the g900w8(mine) is one of them, known mostly as international, these 2 models have unlocked bootloaders making it very easy to root via pc, idk about an app rooting though especially for 6.0.1
many do come w/unlocked bootloaders but not the g900a as thats the way the carriers(AT&T) ordered them w/locked bootloaders.
Since reading the link you posted, I'm not sure what you're trying to convey. Reading the link seems to indicate it can be rooted! (?) I did note that it said it wouldn't 'persist", but in the 'replies" one person stated he/she did get it to work? OK, at best, we are going through hosts of opposing and controversial statements? Could it be that by now, there is a viable 'root" for this phone? Also, I did see where some 'downgraded" in order to root. Not sure I'd do that...especially since it's not my phone. Anyways, seems this model will command much more of my attention than I first thought. I've rooted phones before and was "spoiled" by the simplicity. Never run into anything remotely similar to this.
Stay Sharp:

im trying to convey is that its a pia to deal w/the g900a because of its locked bootloader as you must of assumed reading that link i gave you, and that is the most upto date info on rooting the g900a and afaik no root possible for 6.0.1 mm as i just quickly read through some of the posts in that link.
what youve read on the internet on rooting the g900"A" as easy is either old, false, inaccurate etc.
Bootloader is Unlocked?
You try to flash TWRP Recovery using odin?
https://dl.twrp.me/klte/
(If any problem, You can download latest firmware for G900A in your region, Unpack with 7-ZIP the Recovery from firmware file and flash via TWRP)
And Flash SuperSu via TWRP?
http://download.chainfire.eu/1021/SuperSU/SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip
So I have not been able to obtain this firmware but figured I'd share to see what you ladies/gents could figure out.
http://www.romup.com/search?version=G950USQU1AQCF
Also there is a thread in general discussion and questions section regarding an All_OYN_G950USQU1AQC8 firmware.
idk, seems pretty fishy to me, every I link I see is to pay to download sites for this file. You would think that there would be somewhere online where its free. Probably a bogus download.
lots of scams out there

I actually paid for a damn firmware this morning All_OYN_G950USQU1AQC8 and received the download from sams-eng.com . Later however I found it for free. Oh well. Haha.

Can you link it please! Where did you find the free one?
I found the free one for the 955 and 950 i was able to find the unlock bootloader option through it not sure if it will work. Was more interested in the boot.img
Not saying it isn't a scam, but romup is actually a fairly reputable site. People posting leaked firmware all the time straight from the factory. A few other Asian sites like this one have some juicy stuff, not just for Exynos/other unlocked loader models. So don't discourage it, translate it and see what they have to say and maybe even test it. I personally don't want to take the risk with my phone but someone kinda has to. Anyways, done with my little rant.
Would this Engboot be good for snapdragon variants? I remember the S7 Edge had a locked bootloader, but you could still atleast root it

Im working on this right now. Give me a little bit had a kid last year so im trying my best to get this done right now while i have time.
Wait so do you have a copy of that firmware? I can't obtain that one bc I have no way of paying in yuan.
Also is there a way to flash a firmware where root is natively in the firmware? I always thought we had to unlock the bootloader and root and then flash recovery. Unless it was the recovery that always tripped knox.
Hi Br3w3r,
I just wanted to say thanks and ask you a little about how you coerce these engineering firmwares to allow root mode. Do you reverse engineer it? Just curious.
Found a newer version of ODIN and enabled the grayed out buttons. Maybe it could help?
ODIN 3.12.7 with UMS and USERDATA already enabled: https://mega.nz/#F!8WxRwDwa!seZLQVSoWTrz2CJkbdxTkQ
Interesting... so if I am reading this right. Someone is trying to work on snapdragon now?
I have purchased a copy of the firmware posted by the OP, although it was bought off of a different website. This is a factory binary, that has SElinux as permissive, OEM unlock says it unlocks bootloader, etc

So I heard lasts years S7 snapdragon root wasn't that great is that true? I had the 935F which had roms, kernels, custom recovery etc.... Root was achieved on the snapdragon S7 in a different way... Did they get twrp and roms or just root?.... Definitely keeping my fingers crossed watching these threads

It had a bunch of overheating issues and i think some features may have been mia. the same exploit isn't available here, yet, because it relied on an early build of the 935u model, and there is no such build found for these phones, yet.

It used a special engineering kernel. That is purchased by certified Samsung repair shops. It was basically worthless. It made the phone run so poorly.
It Never got true root twrp. Doubt the S8 line will either.

K... Thanks for clarifying.... So if by chance we do get root most likely a bigger challenge to unlock the bootloader/add custom recovery ... I guess the thing that pisses me off is the "U1" got lumped in with all the carrier "U" varients... Both have locked bootloader... I've always used exynos Galaxys on my GSM network never had connection issues...

I actually think if we get either root or bootloader unlock we will get both. With how Samsung has the device locked down it is going to take someone finding a new vulnerability that allows to unlock the bootloader or root the device. But it could take a long time to find. Too many lines of code to even count.
Other option is the someone at Samsung releases the kernel source code or some sort of bootloader unlocking software. Right there is a group of debs working hard at it but they are not close. I'm rooting for them but I would not hold your breath.
Also most of the new phone will never get root anymore. LG, Motorola, Google, Samsung, HTC all are going to be completely locked down this year.

I've seen the term "temp root" going around. What is that exactly? I want to move a user app into my system folder to make it a system app, and I believe I need root to do this. Is there any way this is possible to do without a full root and bootloader unlocked?
No. "System" is read only.

I have the SM-G955U on Xfinity Mobile, and they will unlock the bootloader out of the box, as stated in their policy. Just giving everyone a headsup, if you want to try something new. Even funnier, I am doing a 24 month payment plan for my device, with 1 gig data (always on wifi, so it works for me) and my monthly bill is 26.42 lol.
With a unlocked bootloader, you can do an official CF Auto Root right now.

Do they physically touch the device and do it in front of you? Or does it come out of the box unlocked? I'm trying to see what I can dig up.
Edit. It seems the device came shipped with a eng bootloader. @elliwigy do you think we can use this to our advantage?

Chances are there won't be root for Oreo on snapdragon. Unless we get ENG files for Oreo, which so far is unlikely. There is a row though that has Xposed running without root, so there's that at least

Yeah Samsung have been doing this on a couple of the previous iteration of the devices, think from s6 or something. My advice and something I do personally as I have always ran modded phones for over 10 years and I plan to play around with is just do a little research, it's something that I find people tend to look over, not to take a poke at you or anything like that, I just see it happening a lot. But anyhoo, if you're looking for a phone which you can customize, having an unlockable bootloader is important and aslong as it has a snapdragon bootloader you more than likely will find working builds, I suppose the pixel is one route, or the one plus series of phones.
Thanks. I missed both s6and s7 . I went through 3 S5s lol. Liked the fact that I could swap batteries instead of having to plug it in to charge and the dimensions were more ergonomic for me. But even with the s5 I remember the Att version was not rootable.
Product managers think people will put up with the most personal gadget they own being turned into a cheesy invasive marketing vehicle. All that desperate bloatware and "personalization" settings turn what could be a beautiful product into something obnoxious.
Shame. I guess I'm done with Samung.

Here's a definitive answer: We don't have root for bootloader rev. 3, so just sit tight for the next few weeks or months.
Also, the only way for us to get root is through engineering files, because the bootloader is rock solid. So we've been getting root without an unlocked bootloader. Pretty impressive, right?
