First, I would say buyer beware. Second, I seriously doubt it considering no root yet with the locked boot loader and the talent in this community. However, if you are willing to jump first...let us know how it goes and make sure you have video to prove it

Thanks for the info! I guess I jumped the gun on asking in a new thread (and I'll admit it, I didn't do a basic search for Kingo before hand.) I'm not quite sure I wanna be the first to try this on my AT&T S5.. even though I'm kinda that desperate to get Root :-/

I am waiting for 2 things
1) root on stock ROM
2) possibility of larger internal storage
I would say it's gonna be a while. the man the myth the legend chain fire said it's gonna be a long time before we get root access

The latest firmware update for the AT&T S4 (NB1) does not yet have a direct root method. The obstacles for obtaining root on this phone (S5) and that phone are generally the same. So I would say root will be achieved on the S4 (newest firmware) before or at the same time as root for the S5. So I would say you are correct about it taking a little while.
I was under the impression that the CF-AUTO ROOT Method would work on the at&t SGH-I 337. Please advice

Nope. Won't work. There is no direct root method for NB1 yet. There is a work-around that involves SafeStrap and installing a pre-rooted ROM, but that's it at the moment.

I'm sure it's been asked and answered, but since you mentioned it.. The same type of work-around, using SafeStrap and installing a pre-rooted stock ROM, can't be used on the S5?
Here is a mirror to the Cf auto root method I used using Odin and it gave me for access I can't speak for the NB1 as my s4 was 6 months old at the time.

So does this method works in the S5? I think thats what you mean right?
Pretty sure safe strap requires root first on JB ROM, then flashing a pretty rooted kit Kat update.

No it doesn't sorry for the confusion this only works on the at&t galaxy s4
(Quoted from Chainfires Google+) That's impossible to predict, but I certainly wouldn't bet on it. It may take months or never happen. If root is important to you, get an unlocked device and be sure you'll have it.

That's are great tutorial.. I like it.
I just can't get myself to root. Anyone else with me? Every phone I've had I never had to worry about losing my warranty, EVER.
Think they will ever come up with a way NOT to trip the knox?

I believe they did it for the Note 3, so why not the S5?
thinking I will hold off a bit to see if any non-knox roots come out... not sure if I can wait that long though... I love messing with my android phones
Unrooting the device though Odin works in restoring your warranty. Doing so make it as if it never was rooted.
atlast I have rooted it successfully
In iPhone, I failed to jailbreak first time, because I updated iOS version 6 to ios7 from my device software update. (OTA=Over the air). Not by iTunes.
But that time solved the problem, by Restoring my device via iTunes. And then able to jailbreak easily..
Now my Question:
Since Galaxy S5 came in version 4.4.2...
But after using 2 or 3 days, an update was installed in my SMG-900H.
Update file size was about 25-30mb.
But still version no is 4.4.2, no change is there..
So will it cause a problem (like- iphone) , if I try to Root my Galaxy S5 first time?

yes you can root, but can't do any more updates after rooting. if you want to update in the future, you would need to go back to stock causing you to lose root, update, and then, root again after the update.
Hi,
I want to root my S5 as soon as I get it (as with all my previous Galaxy devices)
But , the rooting procedure makes the device "custom" and then Allsharecast does not work as far as I know.
Is there a solution to this for S5 ?
On the S3 and Note 8 , I had a modified lib file (libWFD_Engine.so) which fixed the problem of being a custom device.

Guys, this thread is over a year old and is outdated now that Lollipop is out.
It seems that many 925A'ers are not leaving this forum to find out that YES, we have root! The unnecessary questions, comments, doubts are starting to pile up, so maybe this is the best way to ensure everyone knows that YES (again), we have root. Here are THREE posts from the SAME person in DIFFERENT threads asking the SAME thing:
There's root for the g925a? Where?

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!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3103016
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)

2. No new ROM can be supported as bug has been fixed.
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.

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.

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.

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.

Ha. I have a Verizon note 2 also. I got from a friend. I just got it rooted today but it's on 4.4.2 so it has a locked bootloader.
Has anyone been able to root the phone after the Verizon VS9803AA update? I have a G2 that was never rooted. The digitizer failed so I replaced it with an OEM LCD+Digitizer and suddenly the phone can only be used when there is bright light. I went ahead and replaced the light sensor, but it doesn't make a difference. I used an application to check the light sensor and it performs just as my G3. My thought is that the problem is software based.
If I manually reboot into recovery, I get the icon of the android with a red exclamation point. Plugging in the USB and holding the volume up does not bring me to download mode, it just displays the battery charge. Did Verizon successfully block the ability to root?
I'm having the same problem with not being able to root I've used IORoot which isn't compatible with lollipop, avicoh one click and . bat which get up to rebooting the phone but ends in an error reading "The system was unable to find the specified registry key or value."
so i read about Injecting root in to system image and then pushing image back to phone. But i haven't seen specifics for the LG G2 have you had any success in rooting the phone with the new VS9803AA Update
The phone as the VS9803AA update and I think it is the cause of the proximity sensor problem. I've read some other posts from people that had rooted and took the update. A different situation, but they have a similar problem. In one of those threads I had read about the bootloader version having changed. It is almost as if Verizon killed the ability to do a recovery on the phone. Nice huh?

Nice wouldnt be the adjective but if the bootloader is different is it possible to extract it and build a root with the new bootloader.
I am new to this however i'm a quick study and have rooted devices in the past ( manually ) I'm just not a developer so there has to be some one working on this right?
In the meantime is it possible to flash an older firmware I'm scared to try with out knowing for certain.
I too am trying to root the VS9803AA with IOroot and it says there is not yet an unlock for this version. I am very frustrated.
EDIT: I did discover how to root! I used the tool found here.
Now if I can figure out something to replace FreeGee, which does not work with AA...

I'm sure it was stock, because this is the first time I've ever tried to root and I did check the software version (VS9803AA) and it said, "Official." Now it says, "Modified."
My original goal in doing all of this was to open up the T-Mobile bands so I can have LTE again. Just left Verizon. But the youtube tutorial I was watching asks me to use FreeGee and it just is not compatible with 3AA as far as I can tell.
To root: webtrickz.com/how-to-root-lg-g2-running-lollipop-with-lg-one-click-root/
To flash TWRP: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=b007.autorecvs980
I haven't tried AutoRec yet, but a review says it works for the 3AA.
Hope this helps, let me know!

Hay there,
Use kingroot the easiest way to root lg g2 without any trouble, try it and let me know thanks
I'm in the same boat - got this Verizon LG G2 from my sister fixed the LCD screen because the digitizer had dead spots. Can't root tried every method I could find and Verizon appears to have patched any working exploits. Also have the same oversensitive proximity sensor. Great job Verizon!!!
UPDATE:
I have root finally! Flash the prior software version 39a as I was not able to get anywhere with 39aa. Used Kingroot to obtain root and installed recovery!!! I installed Xposed and adjusted the values for the proximity and light sensors so that is no longer an issue also.

Man u r great. My another problem is resolved. Hotspot is now working. Sometimes a message appears that you cannot use Hotspot as Verizon sim is not detected. But when I switch three or four times on and off, the Hotspot enabled. Huge thanks.
One more question, I want to install custom recovery? Which is suitable for 39A? Thanks in advance. [emoji4] [emoji4]

My stock is too much laggy. I used cyanogen for my S3 and it was working wonderful. I was using lollipop for my S3. That was stable, fast and was packed with features. The LG G2 rom is dead slow. Thanks Suleman for your time and valuable comments.

Im not saying its bad to flash i personally recommend it to you but in stable form ,as it has bugs and in development stage n one more thing if you are camera lover then cynogenmod cam sucks your expectations , stock cam is far way better than this . if you really interested to flash something then go for xdabbes rom which is stock based , search the forum and you will get that,
Good luck
