I do not have an S5, but may well get one in July. I expect it to come with Lollipop.
Any idea if this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/root-pingpongroot-s6-root-tool-t3103016
will work on a new S5? Sounds as if someone may need to submit the new ROM version to be included.
Thanks all.
If it mentions its specific to S6 and has no mention of your device in the devices section..then I wouldn't dare try it unless the creator says its okay...I mean you could always just go for it but that's probably not a good idea unless you don't mind risking your device.
Yes, I know that. I am hoping someone with the latest stock ROM will submit it with the hopes it can be supported.
tried and failed
Tried it with my T-Mobile s5 running the latest version of touchwiz and it just told me "did you install SuperSU before root" or something along the lines of that. End of point it didn't work... Don't understand why though... Both running basically the same touchwiz so the exploit should be the same
I have a thread on rooting news fo the S5 Lollipop update, if you want to post something of this Theme please post there.
Getting into your question in the thread i mention a guy already try it and failed.
I have tryed to root my galaxy S5 too and pops up the same error ´´Have you installed SuperSU before root?´´ I guess it´s because of the Knox security in this case 2 . 3 of Knox version that rolls back the SuperSU intallation after its process... we will have to wait a bit more untill developers come out with something that can bypass Knox security for Android 5 . 0

Every time a new version update comes out there is always lots of threads on how to get it, how to root it, when it will come...etc. Unfortunately, there is rarely any mention of exactly what changes the new version brings and whether or not it is worth updating. Seems like so many in here are more interested in just having the latest version of Android and not with what actual improvements might come with it. Being that upgrade paths for the i537 aren't exactly simple (compared to previous phones I had that did not have locked bootloaders) could someone perhaps give us a rundown of what's new and improved in 4.4.2 to make it worth the trouble of upgrading? I am on rooted stock 4.2 with a ton of frozen system apps and before I go through the trouble to get the OTA I would like to assess if it is worth it. Also, will I first have to get the OTA of 4.3 before I will get the 4.4.2 update and if I do should I just wait to root until I have the latest version? Thank you!

You will have to flash the ML2 Odin package to be able to get the OTA for NC9 to install. Personally I would wait a couple weeks since it seems like they're getting very close to unlocking the bootloader.
To answer your question about the 4.4.2 update, I've posted the changelogs from both AT&T and Samsung in this thread. If you really want a rundown of what the 4.4.2 update will look like, just look at the regular S4. There are slight UI changes between the S4 and S4A, but you'll get the overall impression.
Thank you, Devo.:victory:
Wait, you're saying we might finally get an unlocked bootloader??

From what I understand yes. At worst it looks like they will be able to develop a patch that may not unlock the bootloader, but will allow us to flash any ROM with any kernel, effectively the same as if the bootloader was unlocked. There are still some things that are over my head, but everybody seems super excited about this latest development.
If you want to read about what is going on, read these threads (they actually reference each other):
If we are serious about unlocking the bootloader
Well, It must be our lucky day
These are developer threads so try not to clog them up unless you have something to contribute.
Im just wondering because I have not seen or heard anything in a while.

May be there is no point any more to do this. Samsung will issue a new update with a patched bootloader and the custom one won't work again. I read on "General Note 3" forum even "towelroot" doesn't work after official update to 4.4.3.

Yes true but if you do not take the update you will be fine I would think most people that have got root will not give it up without a fight I feel as if there is a point to unlock the bootloader because its not there phone its are phone and I want to do whatever I want with a phone I bought I froze the ota updater with titanium back up i will no long allow att to tell me what I can do with my phone . They cant patch something I dont allow and thats that
There are a few questions here about my gs5 and note8.0, sorry for the long post, I rarely post but need a little guidance. Sorry if this post isnt exactly up to the standards of the rules, I also tried the search feature but didnt have any luck. I have spent countless hours reading threads. Ihave successfully rooted every, all 10, of the android devices I have owned which includes two tablets. SO TO ALL WHO POST INSTRUCTIONS HERE, THANK YOU.
I rooted my gs5 with towelroot pretty much immediately when it was released. I havent had any real issues, other than the phone freezing on rare occasion, and web pages get stuck loading about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way finished, when this happens I usually toggle the apn on and off and then the page will load. This happens kind of often, I attribute it to some bug in the stock TW rom. Of course im still hoping for a way to unlock the bootloader.
I get a notified of samsung security updates here and there, I have never updated that since I rooted, I assume that updating samsung security would most likely take away my root access.
I have a note 8.0 wifi tablet also and it is rooted, I had to root with odin on the tab, towelroot didnt work. I also get secuirty update notifications on my note 8 which I also ignore.
Will samsung security updates block root>
Will the new ATT gs5 update that was released this week block towelroot? I can easily unroot and update ota then try to re root with towelroot apk, I am worried that towelroot will not work anymore if I do that.
Anyone know if the att update blocks root, and is it even worth worrying about trying to download?
My note 8 is rooted via odin, but it still has stock recovery, how do I get twrp or clockworkmod? I am pretty sure there is not a locked bootloader on this wifi tab, but I do want custom recovery.
So any help with installing clockworkmod recovery on the note 8, I know the CWM app allows you to install cwm recovery but I have only done it once and forgot to check to see if the BL was locked, well it was and It was a pain to unbrick that device.
Hi all I'm confused I got a galaxy S5 on Wed with Lollipop already installed. I've read multiple posts and still have one question, "Can this phone be rooted?" I keep finding different answers. If not can I reload an older version of android that can be rooted, I need root for my anti-theft and Titanium Backup. Not to mention root is needed for removing Bloat(crap)ware that Samsung and AT&T install.
Thanks

As this time, no, the G900A with the completely stock 5.x load can not be rooted.
Since the bootloader is locked, and they bumped one of the counters with the 5.x loader, you can not install a previous version. You're welcome to try but if it fails you will likely have an unrecoverable brick - unless the AT&T Store or Samsung Experience Store has the complete ODIN file to re-flash your device with.
Until someone determines a way of rooting the stock L load, you're stuck without.
Regards.

Im in thesame boat as u. I have been told by a bunch of high ranking devs that it will come its just a matter of time. If u downgrade im almost positive u will end with a very expensive paper weight. Just relax it will come
somebody can check language on 5.0 ? can be enabled multilanguage with language enabler or more locale etc ?

Thank you for the quick reply. I'll wait as I'm sure it's just a matter of time before someone cracks this version or a compatible ROM is published
I only root to get rid of bloatware. While lollipop seems to be handling the ram and battery usage better, it still makes me angry when I see one of those crap apps running that I can't uninstall.
One would think the FCC would make AT&T and others allow this stuff to be uninstalled when the consumer owns the phone.
Kingo root method
just watched a video on WWJOSHDU youtube page, about kingo rooting at&t devices any idea whether that includes the S5 with lollipop?
I found on my wife s5 which I had to unroot and return to stock for warranty when I got the replacement & upgraded to lollipop that in app settings you can disable all the bloat

You can download PackageDisabler.apk and disable all bloatware. It also fixed the "Unauthorized Actions......." recurring prompt after the latest security update by disabling all KNOX related packages.
Hi
I will have my N960F/DS in a couple of weeks. I prefer not to root it for at least a couple of months in case of any warranty issues. However, by then it should have upgraded to Pie. Does anyone know whether the current root methods will work under Pie? Do they work under the current beta?
If your phone has an unlocked bootloader, pie won't change that. You're probably thinking about the exploit days that new updates patched.
So yes, it will be rooted as soon as the devs build twrp.
Great! Thanks!
Similar problem
I have a brand new N960FD and im have the "only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed" because i installed twrp and tried to do so with no-verity-encrypt and RMM state bypass. but now im stuck and i don't know what to do to root my new phone... (with magisk, which didn't work as well....)
I just want pie with root and no trouble.
Anyone can help me ?

read carefully Dr.ketans post in the general discussion. its pinned.
nothing anyone can do for you that you can't do by yourself by reading. i would also suggest you to read throught Docs whole pinned thread(user comments) and then do the same thing with the twrp thread in the dev section.
all issues and questions have come up sooner or later. you just need to want to take time and read.
down the line, you'll have also more questions and these answers would probably answer themselves after those 2 reads.( might be a lengthy read but sure beats having a phone that is not operating like you want it to)
Samsung account problem
I have the same model, n960fd, rooted with magisk tests checked, everything is fine, but when i want to connect to a samsung account, it loops and ask me again for the password, non stop.
Is there any known solution ?
Please help
