Unroot from within the superSU app (if installed) or from the Towelroot app, flash a stock firmware rom and data factory reset.
Okay I can't flash stock. It always fails and my phon says binary >2 something 1

Odin root may or may not be possible on the ATT variant, only time will tell.
It time to return s5

I saw a post from Chainfire indicating he was releasing auto-roots for a bunch of variants today(he didn't mention which ones but I've got my fingers crossed). Apparently the current bottleneck is Sammy's crappy d/l servers.
Looks like no dice with Chainfire, at least for now. https://plus.google.com/+Chainfire/posts/JVxv5298wdU
Apparently he needs the recovery extracted from the firmware. I checked sammobile.com for our firmware and they haven't put it out yet. I sure hope they do.

Yeah thats the part I'm not following. Can't I pull this from the Phone with Odin and send it to him or does the dump function not work on the S5?

You can't usually dump the recovery partition without having root...usually a custom recovery is needed...hence he needs the firmware which contains the recovery partition.

Chainfire has already said more than once that it can't be dumped.

Just curious if we will be able to root without a unlocked bootloader. With other devices I don't recall that being an issue. But then again this is the first one I've had that's been this locked down.

CF root likely won't work if the ATT BL is locked, but the only definitive way to check is to get the firmware and extract the recovery, send it to CF and have him package something up and then have someone flash with Odin, if the BL is locked, then it will either fail to flash, fail to boot, or worse, also once you flash anything not deemed official you trip the knox warranty flag and your without a warranty..

I'm pretty sure root will break some things. I was able to sign up for Isis and get the $50 credit, but my wife wasn't able since her Note 3 is rooted. Google Wallet might still work though. Ready to root though.

Do you have xposed framework installed on her note 3? If so use rootcloak and your problem is solved.

Hi! I've just tried towelroot and it shoved in my face that my phone is not supported. I have tried the different modstrings and my kernel date is 28.11.2013 (should be supported). Any thoughts and ideas would be appreciated. Thank you!

Use odin to root your i9305. check the odin guide below in my signature and follow the steps to root your device, very easy
Thank you! I was thinking about Odin but yet again I was curious why the towelroot was not working uder those conditions. But I guess root is root no matter how you get it

Somehow the new towelroot is not compatible with the i9305. knowing this because it happened to me too . until i decided to try the version 1 and version 2 . and version 2 worked for me. Now i don't see any difference whether you root with odin or with towelroot. Unless you don't want your knox warranty void.. that's the only difference. if you did upgraded to 4.3 and you rooted your device with a different method other than towelroot, it will void your knox warranty.

Try kingo root if you're on kitkat or earlier.

Kingo doesn't work on KitKat. It only works on Jellybean.
If you're on 4.4.2 you can root with Towelroot (search on Google and you'll find the apk). If you're on 4.4.4 there are threads the AT&T Note 3 general section about how to root that.

When I was digging around the internet getting confused about rooting this device, I saw people were having issues with KNOX? Do I need to worry about that if I root with Towelroot?

No. Just means you void your warranty with Samsung.

I have used iroot on other phones. Never tried it on s6 but im pretty sure it would work. Just install the app. You might have to go to a chinese sight with no english but just dowload it. The app has english so your good. It install its own su app which works well. Open the app and follow the instruction they are easy the app does qll the work.

You might want to tell everybody in the op that as of right now flashing a custom recovery will trip knox.
So quick question guys:
If I root the S6 with the new tool, it won't trip Knox?
Once its rooted, would I be able to replace the lock screen with the one from stock android and replace the dialer with the google dialer? I love stock experience but I wanted a premium device so I went with the S6.
Thanks.

Is it possible to unroot at some point after using this method? Lets say I need to use my warranty for the phone. Is unrooting possible?

No.. Your warranty is gone forever.
Why do people keep asking this silly question, you root your phone you kiss your warranty goodbye.

You shouldn't answer unless you're sure. This root method can be reversed by used ODIN to completely go back to stock.
