Hi guys,
I have juat registered here which means I am new to this. Before I decided to post my question I was looking for answer but couldn't really find one.
I upgraded from S4 to S5 few days ago (Rogers) and the phone upgraded the software as soon as it connected to wifi so I am now on 5.1.1.
I found few apps to root my S5 without pc but they dont either work with my phobe or my software version.
I don't mibd rooting it via pc as long as I can keep both uaer data and some preinstalled apps untouched.
Can you please point me to how to do it step by step (if possible)?
Thank you in advance

Thank you but it says "Root strategy unavailable", I tried it earlier and retroed now but same result.
Any other possible solutions please?
I don't mind if I have to do it through pc as long as I dont loae user data and pre-installed apps.
Thanks
Anybody? Please!
Hey dont know if you solved your problem yet but after extensive reading and tinckering i finally managed to root my s5 on telus running 5.1.1. For starters I can care less if i trip knox so its tripped but to be honest I wouldnt be able to tell you if its from me installing different roms on my phone. Anyways this is how I did it on my phone. ( Credit is given to every dev that created thes apps and I in no way claim to have come up with it on my own).
1 Using Odin flash twrp
(Dl newest version of odin. Connect your phone in download mode ( down home power))
2 Download twrp or any other custom recovery
3 Open Odin select AP find the custom recovery file push start.
4 Download the newest version of supersu which can be found anywhere on xda. It has to be 2.67 or it will not work. And place the zip on your sdcard.
5 Reboot into custom recovery click install find the supersu and install it.
6 Reboot phone when asked if you want to install supersu do not do it upon reboot.
And there yah go root access.
Donno if that helps but it seems to work for me. SM-G900W8

It would work for you. You have a Canadian version which isn't bootloader locked like ours is.

It worked for me. Be very careful tho. once you root it, you can,t go back since there is no stock firmware for these model.

Why did your phone throw the custom binary by frp lock? Did you do OEM unlock first?

SM-N920R6 stock firmware
I grabbed firmware for the SM-920R6 from SmartSwitch so I can probably help you out. I know how you feel, it's sad how hard it is to find anything for this phone! If you need the firmware I'll have to upload it to google drive or something this evening...
Successful un-brick and root of SM-N920R6
Using the software SamFirm and manually entering in all of the information for my phone I was able to download the correct SM-N920R6 firmware.
Here is what I had to type in the SamFirm program:
Model: SM-N920R6
Region: LRA (This really isn't a "region" it's a sales code which is why it took me forever to figure out - it can be found in System/csc/customer.xml but will be the same for all Cellcom customers)
*SELECT MANUAL CHECK BOX AND ENTER THE FOLLOWING*
PDA: N920R6WWU1BPD3
CSC: N920R6LRA1BPD3
Phone: N920R6WWU1BPD3
***MAKE SURE YOU CLICK "Decrypt automatically" (check box on right side) before you download so you get the usable zip file as well (you won't need the .enc4 file it also downloads (that is the original encrypted file)).
***You'll also want to click the "Check Update" button before downloading the firmware, but you'll get the prompt to do this by the SamFirm program.
Once you have the firmware unzipped just place it in the "AP" section on the Odin program, hit start, and you're all set!
Happy un-bricking, Cellcom customers!!
Note: After your phone reboots with the stock firmware if it hangs on the screen that has a Samsung logo dimming in and out just reboot into download mode (hold power, volume down, and home button simultaneously), and then restart the phone from the download mode menu (i.e. don't go to "continue" on the download mode screen). I tried the above recovery method a few times and it only hung on this screen once, but I was able to get out of it using the method I just described without issue.
**********************CONTINUE READING**************************
If you were frantically looking for the firmware as I was you may be telling yourself, "I'm never going to try to root this thing again!" But wait! You now have the ultimate "Un-rooting" tool at your disposal (the stock firmware!).
That being said I went further in search of achieving a successful root and..was successful! (The root achieved was using CF Auto Root which leaves the stock firmware alone. Unfortunately no custom kernels exist as of this post for this phone so this is as best we can do at the moment.
I used the file "CF-Auto-Root-nobleltespr-nobleltespr-smn920p.tar.md5" (as users pointed out above to start this thread - the "p" version works for the SM-N920R6). You just need to download that file and flash it the same way as you flashed the firmware (i.e. put it in the "AP" section of Odin and hit start. It takes a few minutes and after it's done showing all of its text as it installs the program on your phone your phone will have a black screen - don't worry it just needs to be turned on and you're rooted!

This trips knox, right? Can you still use Samsung Pay?
It does trip KNOX and as a result you cannot use Samsung Pay on the device (Even if you flash stock back Samsung Pay will forever be disabled on the device).
Its been a week since i got my note 5 sm-n920r6 , the person i bought it from told me to of a issue with it. He told me ever since update to naugat 7.0 the back button stop working so am seeking from anyone who can help me to get marshmallow 6.0 to downgrade to 6.0, please.
If someone who might still be on 6.0 on their note 5 SM-N920R6 can extract it from their phone or other means ,it would truly appreciated.
I use the samfirm to get the 7.0 firmware so i could flash to stock when i want, here is a link of the firmware for the SM-N920R6 if anyone might want it: https://mega.nz/#!IJYFEa5T

I cannot say because i didn't notice whether it was trip or not, not that it bother me if it did. But i did manage to find the marshmallow firmware and flash back to marshmallow from naugat successfully, even though it didn't fix back button and now am back on naugat firmware.

For those of us who are using this model N920R6 , i have being able to flash custom roms from the Sprint section without any issues. When i flash custom roms for other models i find i must flash the twisted kernel v2 for sprint model or your own stock kernel but even with that i have no data, so i don;t use those roms. But as for the sprint custom roms they run faultless with normal bugs that might be in a custom roms.
At first when i get this model i was piss because their is actually no support for this model until i try the sprint custom roms,it was awesome and now bit more happy.
It's on lolipop and I don't see much information on it. I tried kingroot but that doesn't work and I was looking at the root method involving Odin and cfroot. Should I try that?
If there is a CF Auto Root file for G800A on Lollipop, probably yes. Backup all you can first and make sure you have stock firmware to flash through Odin or Samsung software to go back if anything goes wrong...
I don't see one. It looks like chain fires website has the other models just not the g800a.
i have recently updated my I9305 Optus (Australia) to the newest version (2016 - I9305XXUFPA1) that Samsung Switch suggested (which actually fixed the Screen Mirroring and it runs perfectly). but the thing is i dont want permanently root the device, i just need it to apply the Kitkat Sdcard Fix (from play store so i can use the SD Card) and remove the Optus "Hello" and "Bye" splash screens (i have done that before)
so the question is what is the CF Auto Root file i use with Odin to do this as im just going to SuperSu after to Unroot the phone again. Just one link and ill and a possible step by step on how to remove the splash screens.
thank you in advanced.
Nevermind i had it on my computer and never realised to just before i could use the same again even with different update. anyway... the file needed was "CF-Auto-Root-m3-m3xx-gti9305" sorry for this
Hi All,
I am a newbie to the root world and in a lapse of judgement I decided to root my phone a year or so back. Naturally I had no idea what I was doing but I think I sort of did it. Now my phone is in this weird root limbo where it is rooted but not really. I can't unroot with supersu it just gives me an error or keeps spinning and does nothing. On boot my phone says Custom which tells me it is kind of rooted and some apps wont work as it says my phone has been modified or has root access. Also my updates fail but I have never quite gotten full root access and things just act weird. I guess that's what I get.... So naturally I have come full circle and would like to remove root and just install a stock rom so I can receive updates on this thing. Also, I am terrified of bricking it. I have searched all over your forum and found 18 versions of 15 roms with 13 ways to do it and I have no clue which way is the correct way. I know baseband plays a role along with version. So here is what I have;
Model: (AT&T)
SAMSUNG-SM-N900A
Android Version:
4.4.2
Baseband Version:
N900AUCUCNC2
Kernel Version:
3.4.0-722276
I hope I didn't miss anything. Some clarity on this matter would be most appreciated and I want to thank anyone for helping me. I hope this post isn't a repeat of some previous post. I tried looking but some details were slightly different. Please help and thank you in advance.

Aside from the fact that NC2 (that's really all the information you need - NC2 for the N900A - isn't currently listed at SamMobile, that's really all you need. Once you download the firmware, you just use Odin to flash it to the phone. I'm about to leave the house or I'd upload it to Mega and give you a link to use to download it (if you trust me - it's exactly the firmware I downloaded from SamMobile when they had it up a few years ago.) Post here if you want me to and I will. Or just look around this forum (AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 3) for an NC2 link. (You'll be updated over the air, to 5.0.1, if you're not rooted, though, so you could use an unrooted OC1 or OC2 firmware, which are here (somewhere). (Oc1 and OC2 are the Lollipop ROMs.)
Edit:
Walter has a link to the OC1 (Lollypop) ROM at https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/100-stock-lollipop-5-0-n900aucueoc1-t3069609 You probably want to back everything up, then use the 4-file version. Then you can restore everything except root.
