I solved some issues I was having, thought I would share.
Notice Chrome freezing or responding really slowly? Or do you hate not having easy access to tabs and functions? Go to Settings and disable 'Merge tabs and apps'.
Can't remove system apps? Grab the app 'Parcel' from Google play. Uninstall the apps 3 times in a row, then reboot.
All I got for now...
Feel free to share yours!

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I have a SM-G900V (Verizon) not T-Mobile as the link you supplied reflects. That link also states "CF-Auto-Root is not yet available for all models". I searched the forum and found no instance of "Verizon" or "900V". Thank you anyway. I'll keep monitoring the forum.

No other suggestions?
Why don't you downgrade to an old firmware and then update with the thread I posted? Don't know about rooting on a g900v as I've got a G900F

I am rooted using CHAIN Fire's CF AUTOROOT - the trick is you have to use the Latest ODIN - 3.10.6 I think - here is a link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3109599&d=1420980613
Donf use the ODIN that comes with CF Auto Root unless he has updated it to the one I have linked to here. THis is the only one that works that I know of.
GOOD LUCK

I saw that too but I didn't know what it was and wasn't sure what would happen if I didn't accept it - so I did - maybe I should forget it? What could it be?
I haven't figured it out yet. I denied it until I know what it is. Also has to manually freeze and remove all the Knox crap, SuperSU didn't ask me to disable it...
If we root, will Knox be tripped if we don't install it?

Yes, it will trip your Knox counter.
That brings me to a question I had, hopefully @Chainfire can answer. ..
After root, supersu didn't ask me to deactivate Knox; why? is it safe to go and freeze or remove all the Knox crap?
Unfortunately I'm waiting until I hear more information on Knox in regards to Samsung Pay. I know Chainfire and others mentioned the possibility of it needing an un-tripped counter, but until we know for sure I'm staying un-rooted (which is killing me).

I think he was saying the logic of 'you never had it, therefore you won't miss it if you don't get it' was stupid. Whereas you were being a little more gracious saying it was 'interesting' logic. In all honesty, it is a ridiculous argument. Of course you will 'miss' features that the phone should include if you lose them due to root. Even if you would not have used the feature, it still is a missing feature, just one you personally do not care about.

Looks promising. I like that it doesn't trip KNOX but will the "custom status" be a problem?
I'm 7 days into this phone, still have a week to return/exchange it if something is defective. So far it's running fine, dont foresee need to take it back.
But .............. If I did need to return it, is there an "unroot" and/or a way to remove the custom status ?
*** EDIT *** I haven't read all the way thru the root thread, so if my question has already been answered I apologize.
No Custom Status
I have now rooted twice, flashing the firmware posted in this forum in the middle. My phone has not shown custom on the bootscreen once. I also encrypt before I root, so maybe thats it. Who knew you could be encrypted with root?
Have you uninstall all the att bloatware without problems? Or used greenify to improve battery life?

Yes, all the typical rooting items work as they should. You can even flash zips with fireflash, and not trip Knox.
It's NOT in the bootscreen where you can see the custom status. It's in settings / about device / status. In the last line it crearly says "Custom" under Device status.

You'll generally have to manually flash updates once you've rooted, the OTA process will usually refuse to update a device running a modified system image. Not that big a problem, but sometimes it confuses people.

Or, install Samsung drivers, then Odin, and flash a stock image that way to return to stock, then OTA works fine. There is another thread around here with a stock image, I'd suggest anyone looking to return to stock in order to complete an OTA, to review that thread.

Would we be able to use fireflash and keep root if somebody were to get the OTA and customize it for our needs to keep root, etc? I know it's a hard question to answer, but maybe you guys have experience with other locked bootloader devices.

This is similar to how we did it on the AT&T S4 using safestrap to flash touchwiz based roms that were pre-rooted. Unfortunately, we wouldn't be able to flash non-touchwiz based roms without an unlocked bootloader.

If that won't drive you crazy, it should at least get you warned for not following forum rules and searching instead of posting for no reason..... If that user searched, they would have easily found this thread showing you exactly how to root the 925A!

To be 110% clear....... this was developed by @idler1984, NOT me, so thank them - all credit goes to them, I'm just trying to keep the 925A forum cleared up if at all possible!
ENJOY!
EDIT - and because someone asked........ Root has been achieved for both OCE and the 5.13.15 OE2 update
EDIT 2 - and because more people can't read, you CANNOT root anything past May 15th builds, so none of the OF_ updates, nothing that comes out after May 15th, so don't update unless you want to lose root! The information is all there in the thread linked above, if you don't read, you don't have anyone to blame but yourself!
Good job. Was thinking of doing the same.
omg thank you. by the way that first quote was mine sorry. and i did search to no avail. thanks a bunch for clearing this up. and ill try to be more thorough with my search next time.

Okay, that makes sense then, OC9 instead of what I thought you were talking about, "OE9" which I guess does not exist (yet?)
They skipped that one because OE2 is out and there's no need to get the build in the middle developed, from what I can tell.... I've been wrong before though! Just hit your software update and get OE2 then root that, it has the most updates we're going to see before 5.1.1 comes out next month (still more speculating, but that's an informed guess this time based on lots of reading up on the new Galaxy from across the web)

Full story:
New bootloader blocks downgrading, be careful installing 5.1.1 OTA!
Kernel built after May 15th (including some 5.0.2 and all 5.1.1) have this bug fixed. Be cautious when installing OTA these days and FlashFire might be your best shot of upgrading systems. Use Odin to unroot and receive OTA if you want.

It's done what I needed it for (allowed me to delete bloatware and freeze OS updates), so I am happy. I only mentioned my success, plus posted proof as others in this thread hadn't had success and thought it may help others.

Nope, you still didn't pay any attention to either the whole point of this thread or the actual link in the first post.
I already posted a link to the Official xda thread with the latest ENGLISH version which is 4.1 and what the link in the first post points to.

Yeah i perfectly understood that. The software I downloaded directly from their site was in English (as you can see from the image) and that's the only bit of software I needed to gain root and do what I needed to do. Yes there is another app installed as well that is in Chinese, but as that is only for conserving battery power, I didn't use it anyway.

I see we're going to go round in circles with this, so I'll leave it there.
I think it is best. I'm happy with the result I got and was just advising others who were unsuccessful that there was another option, as the one linked in that thread didn't work on my Tab S, but the different version on their site did. I didn't expect a whole discussion as to whether or not I could understand the English language or basic instructions.
ROOTING FAILED
I tried the android and the pc version on my T800 10.5" running kitkat v4.4.2 never flashed or rooted before, the pc version detected my T800, but the rooting failed, the same as the android version.
So it was a big waste of time for me.

Did it give up right away saying no strategy or fail after trying? If it gave up without trying, just try again later.
Don't use PC version coz it will try to Flash custom recovery.

Kingroot relies on cloud to find root solution. Giving up right away means connection is not properly established. Make sure your WiFi is on, and not restricted(e.g. company network), then try again.

If you try to many times it blocks any more tries with that version. Whatever version you're using try another version. If it's 4.1 use v4 then try 4.1 again if that doesn't work.
Hey guys I bought a S5 for a good price for someone as gift just opened it not to long ago and can't update to Lolipop without AT&T sim I was looking for odin files to update it but I can't.
Phone came with 4.4.2 but it's not root-able.

Not sure why is not root able if it has 4.4.2. Read the entire OP and you should be able to root.

It's with newer kernel that's why it's for someone who really does not need root just working fine,would you happen to know where I can find 4.4.4 files and then to 5.0 LP files for odin? thanks for quick response.

I don't know where the files are. If you read that OP in the link i have you it will tell you that you need to download the nce file then use towel root to root. It will work. Then in that same thread you will be able to upgrade to LP.

I've seen it but I don't see stock NCE version can you show me where you see it? that would mean I can safely downgrade w/odin to older firmware "NCE" ?

Ahh i see it now second step 5 lol. In odin that would be under ap pda right ?
Another question is SD card needed for this? I don't see them saying anything about it in this thread hopefully.. the device won't be mine so I wanna keep it as stock and usable as possible but root will come in handy to remove bloat

Yes. Use the ap slot to downgrade. You do not need sd to do it. After you are rooted read the top of the op about how to get Flashfire. You'll also need busy box i think.

It's flashing in ODIN hopefully goes.. well will keep you updated thanks for your time at this hour! at least in EST timezone lol
what's funny is I tried to root with towel then kingroot now on boot shows custom when it's really not lol at least not yet or even root shouldn't show custom.
EDIT: rom loaded fine. I hope somehow it did not get re-locked to AT&T sim only though will have test my foreign sim to test
EDIT2: sim unlock seems to be fine my Polish (Play Sim) roamed on AT&T
No problem. It's barley 9:30 here in Texas. When you get ready to go up to 5.0 using the method in that thread make sure to set your screen timeout to 10 min. After flashing 5.0 with flashfire it took about 10-15 min for mine to boot back up.

Flashing! bunch of weird code on phones screen lol.
Kinda funny had the phone for few hours and already playing with it to make it better lol. Would you happen to know if there is any easy way to get extra languages? I will need polish if possible (more locale2) can do it but I think it only changes like half of locale so not everything is translated.

ok it appears now to be loading the rom stuck on AT&T logo like you said for you it took 10 min .I flashed the stock not deodexed and lolipop is here LOL that was easy process.
Last question and I will stop bothering you hopefully which root apps you use to make it faster? xposed is not that great yet on LP so I am not sure if it's worth using it for now.

I would stay away from xposed for now like you said. It's not fully compatible. I don't use any apps to make it faster. I just use titanium backup to remove bloat. But right now I'm running TMS 2.0 for my rom and it's blazing fast. And i don't have any problems with it. At first you would get media fc but he has a fix for it now.

Yepp that's what I am doing now removing bloat starting with AT&T apps lol.
Once again thanks for your time and help process went well.
I'd load the TMS 2.0 on it before you give it to whoever your giving it to. Lol. I don't think they would be able to tell a difference other than its faster. Just hide or remove apps that you don't think they should me with so they can't me anything up ya know.
