A new update is being released for the S5 Active, since i didn't see a thread on how to root the device... Here it is...
Towel root works on the NE4 build but will not work on the new NG3 update.
So what i did was downgraded with the firmware file found on Sammobile with the NE4 build.
Then used Towel root and installed SuperSU, it said it failed to install Supersu but after a reboot all was well.
Oh this was a AT&T S5 active.
SuperSU worked fine and root was verified!
I haven't posted much before. I would like to give back to the awesome community who has done so much for me!
Hit the thanks button if i helped!
Could really use your help

Trying to use your same method
I am trying to root my phone with Towel root and it won't recognize my phone either. My phone deleted all it's text messages, for some reason, last night and I need to root my phone so I can save some of the messages. Came across your post and figured you can help me. I downloaded the may version of the sm-g870A and odin. Odin won't open. I've never done this before and could use your help. If I can downgrade my firmware, or change it, in a way where Towel root would recognize my phone that would be exactly what I need. Also tried all the Modstrings, did no good. Whatever you could say to help, can hit me up personally and help me, idk if you could do that, but it'd be awesome if you could help me.

NE4 and NG3 are official kernel images...
Downgrade consists of flashing the NE4 kernel image via Odin...then rooting the device....and then flashing the NG3 kernel via Odin which will give you a fully rooted rom that is the latest version...
Knox will NOT trip if you follow the thread instructions...
We are forced to downgrade the kernel to gain root due to the exploit being patched in the latest update...
The root method works perfectly....g

Right now I downgraded to 5.0 and I'm trying kingroot and Kingo root. It's not working

Hello all!
Have searched for over an hour and still no root.
Trying to root my S5 from 4.4.2. Phone is a SM-G900A,Baseband; G900AUCU2ANG3, KERNEL 3.4.0-2178781.

Any ideas?

Download the nce downgrade file in the OP. And you'll be unrooted. Remember that ATT will most likely update you to 5.0 after they fix it or they will give you a phone with 5.0 on it most likely. if they replace it.

Since I really don't know that much about rooting, it would reaally be helpful for me to have an easy-to-understand explanaition on how to get this thing rooted.
Root S5 At&T
Hi, I have the same problem, I have an S5 from ATT with lollipop 5.0, I tried to root it and now is showing me a notification that says that I have to take the phone to an ATT center to undo whatever was done, but no root, if you had any help with this topic please letme know, thank you
If you have lollipop installed, there is no root method and no way to downgrade. Boot loader is locked down like fort Knox as well. Not many devs use this 2 year old phone anymore.

It works! Thanks so much. Now I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S5 on running Android 4.4.2. Baseband G900AUCU2ANG3. Phone was originally from AT&T, unlocked and rooted, currently being used on T-Mobile.
1- How do I upgrade to a current Android version?
2- How can I remove all AT&T bloatware and have an unbranded phone?
Thanks.
Hello, I have a ATT Note 3 Android 4.4.4 , (baseband version N900AUCUDNL1), (Kernel 3.4.0-3032228). I followed the directions of each rooting method. I have ran Kingo root method and ran Odin v.309 and v.3.10 root method several times and both these rooting methods have FAILED. Can anyone please help and advise me on how to root and install a recovery on this device. I appreciate any help.
I'm not 100% sure but I believe you need to be on NC2 in order to root.

I'm new to rooting devices. I have rooted my At&t Note 3 (SM-900A), but I need help installing a custom recovery like TWRP or CMW. How do I find my custom recovery and install TWRP or CMW for At&t Note 3 on 4.3 Jelly Bea
If the bootloader is locked, you cannot install cwm or twrp.

Hello, I have a ATT Note 3 Android 4.4.4 , (baseband version N900AUCUDNL1), (Kernel 3.4.0-3032228). I followed the directions of each rooting method. I have ran Kingo root method and ran Odin v.309 and v.3.10 root method several times and both these rooting methods have FAILED. Can anyone please help and advise me on how to root and install a recovery on this device. I appreciate any help.

Towleroot doesn't work on 4.4.4 you need to back date to 4.4.2 kk then towleroot will work install busybox and j. Rummy root checker, safestrap 3.75 install ST mind you it will say not active until you install a custom rom in one of the slots I believe you can just activate slot one without installing a rom and it'll put safestrap in a active State. Droidveiws is a good place to get the 4.4.2 firmware get the AP BL CP files the install via doing 3.09 it's simple. Me personally I like kk better than lollipop.
