thank you very much
i follow the steps and rooted the phone successfully ,
in the process adb complain about version not compatible , i just downloaded adb.exe and replaced it and it worked nice.
my only problem is that this method upgraded the ROM to android 6

Can you answer these questions:
Is your boot loader unlocked now?
Do you want a stock version of 5 or an after market version. If you have an unlocked boot loader do you want CyanogenMod 12 or a variation of it?
Why did you root your phone?

i flushed G900VVRU2BPB1 because i got the impression that it will be possible to root it with cf-auto-root
so now bootloader is locked again.
i do want stock version
i need to test specific app on s5 Lollipop

If you want to go back to stock, go here..... https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...rmware-pit-verizon-samsung-galaxy-s5-t3757416 and download whatever version you want and flash it with Odin per the instructions on that page.

You can root any ROM with TWRP & Magisk. You just need an unlocked boot loader to get started with.
If you don't want to or can't unlock your boot loader go here. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...oot-method-t3561529/post71147687#post71147687
and click the box below the "If your eMMC CID starts with "11," start here:" statement.

The international version comes with Bootloader unlocked so your bootloader is fine.
so I can safely install any rom?

Hi
SM-G900F
Sorry but im still a bit of a noob with phones so bare with me.
I use to be with EE network but have now had my phone unlocked and using on another network. I have also rooted my S5 so can not update via settings and software update as get error "the OS on your system has been modified"
I know i can put a custom rom on but just out of interest, can i stick on any stock network rom onto my S5 as i see that Vodafone are the first to have released marshmallow update for there sold S5.
Have hooked my phone up to laptop and ran Samsung kies 3 and it says i have the latest update even though im still on lollypop.
Do i have to unroot my phone before i can get marshmallow update?
Cheers
Flash this with ODIN

No, ODIN doesn't wipe the phone, it just upgrades it, it will remove anything custom like root or recovery though

Yep, but use TWRP 3.0.0.0 recovery with ODIN instead (Much more powerful too)
Then flash SuperSU 2.71 beta from TWRP

Next step installing TWRP as you recommended, can you point me in the right direct where to download the correct version of TWRP for my S5 as only seem to be finding S4 version or for kitkat?
Also do i need to make sure its rooted before i do this?

Nice job, I get my TWRP from here
https://dl.twrp.me/klte/
.tar version and flash with ODIN
3.0.0.0 seems to be the last stable version atm, not sure if the newer ones are bug free yet
That root you used might cause problems, the 2.71 beta systemless is the one for MM ROMs atm, the others either don't work fully or overheat the phone with constant high CPU usage
If you have problems, flash this one from TWRP

Since its 910C, it should be easy.
But remember, there is always a risk of bricking the phone.

There is a good chance that autoroot for 5.1.1 will works for 6.0.1
It happens with autoroot for 910H.
Or, you can just flash twrp using odin, flash bootloader using odin, and this rom using twrp.

Hello,
Recently I have bought J5 SM-J500F, I searched around for rooting my phone but there didn't seem to be confirmed/safe methods. or some topics were too long so I didn't bother to read.
So I need a method to root my J5 SM-J500F running lollipop 5.1.1. Here is pic of device information.
i.imgur.com Y9rvyVB.png
(replace space with slashe in above address i couldn't post properly due to forum's anti-url spam system)
So I don't care if warranty voids on following conditions
1. If I can restore warranty later by some methods.
2. If I can get official update installed in my phone by some methods (when mobile is rooted) including unrooting mob to get update and rooting it afterwards.
And yes is there any way to update my mobile to marshmallow? People are getting update for their SM-J500F but I won't get it dunno why.
Root is main problem, please provide a confirmed solution, Thanks.

I have flashed 6.0.1 already any idea? My net is so slow I get 80-120 kbps, I don't want to download firmwares again and again. I am currently downloading stock 5.1.1, If there isn't way to root 6.0.1 I will go back to 5.1.1 and wait for updates. :/
nvm, I tried flashing SuperSu you provided and it worked, thanks a lot man. Now I have a perfect mobile for my needs.
Can someone please upload the stock rom, kernel, and modem for 4.4.2 NCG? I have tried atleast five time using what I thought to be the files and keep getting stuck on a black screen with a blue status light after flashing with flashfire from pb1 using the guide on the 'top topics'. Can someone please help me out?
What's the problem to pull it off the stock firmware?
BTW, I'd try BOK3 rather then BPB1.

I like the simple design and battery life of this version when I had it in 2014 on a G900A. This Marshmallow and Lollipop stuff is absolute bs. Battery life on Lollipop gives me 4 hours and Marshmallow about 2 hours. I'm hoping that KK would give me better performance and battery life on this G900V.

Yeah....This was a terrible idea. A auto update managed to install and I'm hard bricked. I'm not sure if it updated to the next update or to 6.0.1. Does you know where to find a debrick image?

Nope, only showed this 'Qhub' thing in device manager and didn't show in odin. Found a PD1 unbrick img, wrote it to a sd card with win32 disk imager, put in the sd, held the buttons for download mode, and it booted. Yeah, A total hard brick. I'm not gonna do that anymore, lmao. Found a great way to disable a phone though.
I also have a cid 15 g900v, what can that do compared to a cid 11? I know a bootloader unlock but what's that mean? I can install any rom?

Locked bootloader is called locked because it can only boot a signed, stock kernel (boot.img).
It's locked in SM-G900V by default.
CID15 means that you can unlock the bootloader and use a custom/modified kernel, if you want.
For example, it's necessary for LOS or for rooting on Android 6.0 and above.

So I could build roms if I wanted?
Or you could sell the CID15 phone to me via swappa to make a little $$$? I'm actively looking for one...
I just downgraded from BPB1 and unlocked bootloader and disabled Reactivation lock last night. CID (15) I think it's CID, but 15 none the less. Also I knew the login info for Samsung account. I believe you have to know. I still have all files, but I don't know how I'd get them to you. Also have a paid FlashFire.APK. I can also tell you what you need to fill when it comes time to flash NCG via FlashFire. LET ME KNOW, BUD. Took me months to find all files and the correct method. Now on 6.0.1. Fully rooted. :angel:
