BRAND NEW TO ROOT - Please Help! - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

Hi everyone. So I'm brand new to rooting. This is my first rooted phone. I have the Att Variant of the Galaxy S5 and I'm looking to install a custom Recovery so I can save my phone if anything happens to it. From reading I'm pretty sure my only option is Safestrap? I'm running KitKat 4.4.4 with build OA1.
I did see and find tutorials and DL links for NG3. But I don't want to install that if that is not what I need for my phone. (Obviously). If anyone can help me and point me in the right direction that would be great and HIGHLY APPRECIATED.
I also know I want to get rid of the bloatware on my phone and install an adblocker
Any suggestions on how to do thos or apps to look into ?
Also any other this you guys would first do after rooting a new phone for the first time
Please and thanks. Glad to finally be apart of this Community.

Sorry, I though this was help and trouble shooting.
Headed there now.
I did install the ND3 and it works fine on OA1 if anyone else has this question.

[Q] - New to rooting, I have questions - [Q]

Hey everyone,
I am just wondering if there's a guide for rooting the HTC One running on 4.3 update also it's an AT&T carrier if that helps. If someone can link me to a good guide including backing up and saving what I have on the phone currently. I'm also wondering once I do root my phone, what ROM is a good and stable one to use for a first timer. Just let me know, I appreciate it!

[Q] galaxy s3 alliance ROM, PLEASE I need help

hey guys, and gals...I really need your help. so after holding off for over a year and a half i finally decided to root my gs3 and unfortunately I unknowingly accepted the 4.3 OTA update and well, you can probably guess the rest...so here it is. i used safestrap to get around the locked down bootloader and i installed the wicked_sensations ROM and had so many issues i decided that maybe this whole rooting thing was a lost cause...then i installed the alliance ROM and it worked much better....the issue i am having is that i cannot seem to get the wifi to work or the mobile hotspot either...i flashed the ROM and the ML1 modules and well, i just cannot seem to find a solution to my problem. I am relatively new to this android rooting process and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

[Q] Rooting Galaxy S5 Help and questions.......

Hey guys Whats going on. Well Ive had my S5 for a while now. And When I first got it I remember you couldnt Root the phone and One reason was it would Change or mod something with the Kernel. And doing that you would break your warranty on the phone. It has been a while since I rooted and installed Roms, since the droid bionic. Thanks again
Sooo did some reading and now see there is a Root Hack to finally Root these ATT S5 Phones... Can someone Point me in the direction on how to do this correctly?
I have a Kernel Version: 3.4.0 Tues July 22 2014
Android Version 4.4.2
I also would like to Try some Custom Roms. How do you guys Install Custom Roms?
Does we need to install Safestrap? Or any recovery Mod like that?
What I would like to do is get more from my battery as a Full battery barely lasts me a Full day at work.
Thanks guys and cant wait to get some info and advice here. Always great getting Professional Advice than searching and finding 100 different answers. :laugh:

There's stuff on this forum regarding the 64 bit system and the simple reason to why there's not a whole lot of development going on for it is because us devs can't work on something we can't see and don't have! Most of the devs are in the USA and we mostly have the 32 bit phone and that's why there's a lot more development going on for it...
Maybe this can help you out and at least get you rooted and going in the right direction...

This is for your recovery for 64 bit

About the lollipop rom? Can't help you there since no such rom exists.

Well you could still benefit from rooting it you know... You could get rid of the boost bloatware and do lots of other thing's. If you like eye candy you can use the Xposed module and there's tons of stuff for that!
There is someone working on a CM rom for the 64 bit phone to so being rooted and ready when that comes out would make it easier.

But i really don't want to downgrade my phone it takes alot of time and effort. I just want the method of pre rooting. It's just that i really don't know what are the basics such as the "Bootloader", SuperSU, how to choose the designated firmware and also the root recovery.
If you know a thread or a link please reply it to me.
D6633? Wrong forum my friend ?
