[Q] Can't Root S5 Active - 4.4.2 - G870AUCU1ANG3 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

I'm running FW G870AUCU1ANG3 on my AT&T S5 Active and can not seem to get towelroot to root it. When I press the "make it rain" button it says the device is not supported.
From my reading it seems the latest FW is a pain when it comes to rooting. Anyone able to actually root their S5 Active w/ the latest FW?
Thanks

U can try this.

@Joshua skidmore as a junior member with all of one post I would suggest you go through XDA and at least read the rules before posting. You should also learn to use your search button and read everything you can about root and how to do so all the Information you need is in the forums.
When you post about being in download mode and not knowing what it is or even why your in it opens yourself up to some very derogatory replies you probably won't like.
I'm not flaming you I'm giving you sound advice we've all been there before.
What you've posted will come across as asking for someone to hold your hand.
Please do not do anything til you've done your own search and read everything you can.

Good Job man !
Good luck with this , i hate at&t we ****ed up with locked boot loader
What exactly is the "Odin ML2?" Is that the leaked version that we already have root for? The one we don't have root for is the OTA version, which has nothing to do with Odin. Yet another pointless thread.

First off there's no need to be a ****. You are correct that we don't have root for ML2, or the OTA version as you refer to it. The point of this thread is to figure out a way to get root which I think everybody would appreciate, so no need to give the guy grief.
Secondly, while most people received the update to ML2 as an OTA, there were 2 users here who were able to find and post complete Odin packages for ML2 (see this thread and this one), so yes, this thread has everything to do with Odin and rooting ML2. There are summaries of all the official AT&T firmwares in this thread with links to most of the important stuff. Please at least do a search before invalidating somebody who is trying to help the community.

Thanks for taking the lead on trying to figure out root, I think a good starting point might be a list of all the root methods that others have tried and failed so we don't get people duplicating work that we already know doesn't work. I'll take a crack at putting that list together this weekend. It's nice to have a dev working with the i537.
The only thing I'm trying to invalidate is the need for yet another thread about this. There's several already (like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2576460) that could have been used to keep everything consolidated instead of spread all over the forum. I also had a difficult time understanding just what the OP is saying as the grammar is not the best. This post seems more like an exercise in cheerleading than a serious attempt. Regardless, since there is so much confusion regarding the OTA and the leaked versions of ML2 I think it only prudent to be clear when posting anything about either one. This thread was definitely not clear.

Let me know what I can do to help out on my end. Really want to get this rolling so we can move forward with 4.3 compatible SS Roms. However, should we wait a little while for news on the 4.4.2 KK that would be pushed out? I feel like we might end up pouring efforts into 4.3 ML2 and boom, KK gets pushed. Either way I'll try to help in any way possible.

Ok, so I'm not going to argue with you because as I've seen in other threads you really get worked up. By I will try to clarify what the OP is trying to do because there are probably others that are unclear on what he is trying to do.
The other root threads for ML2 focus on using existing root methods to try to root ML2, the purpose of this thread is to develop a completely new root method. The idea is to take the ML2 Odin files and decompile them. Once the files are decompiled he's going to try to inject root into it, and recompile it so we can flash it to our phones.
If this works it would be a lot more simple for the end user than most of the other root methods (except for Active Root, obviously). Additionally if he is able to achieve this, it might be a good idea to try to replace the ML2 bootloader with the MI2 bootloader since it would allow users to be able to downgrade to MF1 and MF2 or MF3 if we ever figure out a way to get that back on the phone. Basically it seems like the most "open" bootloader.
I think this is a definitely a worthwhile effort since it is probably our only chance of getting root on ML2 and a worthwhile thread since it consolidates all the information for this specific root method in one thread. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help.
I personally think that this is a better approach and, depending how it is written, this could survive 4.4 update, seeing how past root approaches were more or less overlays or hijacks, if you will, with it written into the package, it would seem to me, have a better probability to survive.
Also, on another note, no need to disparage someone who is willing to try, a lot of the Roms and roots, on XDA, were written by someone, whose main language is not English.

I have an i537 already on ML2 here that I don't use at the moment. We can use it to test installs as long as devs here would help me if I have trouble restoring it (should something go wrong with a bad install).
Thread cleaned, keep it respectful.

Actually, the OP is from New York. When relating things of a technical nature it is very important to be clear and precise. These forums are littered with posts from people who either could not follow directions or who followed directions that were unclear and ended up causing a problem with their phones. If the OP has difficulty with English then perhaps he should enlist the aid of someone better suited to be providing technical explanations or directions for us to follow. That's not a knock on the OP's ability to pull this off, just on his ability to present it clearly and understandably. I was a magazine technical editor for many years, so I might be a little sensitive in this area. I've seen a lot of posts by people who were brilliant at figuring stuff out in here, but when it came time to put the actions into words there was much confusion about the processes they were explaining. It is very difficult to write technical material for a broad audience of varying technical abilities. When writing technically, one should always assume that the readers are less savvy and tailor the information to their level, not that of the writer's. So many problems in here would be minimized if developers would remember that the majority of people need to be walked through things step by step instead of assuming that they already know all about the process. Just my $.02.
Oh, I know he is from N.Y. I was being general in nature, the English as a second language part, been too much of deriding in here, when sentence structure isn't to someone's standards, which translators don't do.
As far as the OP is concerned, yes it could have been a little more concise, but he was only saying what he was trying to do, which a lot of people understood, when it's time for the finished product, that's where it should be concise.
Just IMO.

Hello all. I'm new to smart phones and the Galaxy s4 active is the first one I have ever owned. I have had it for a couple weeks now and I knew nothing about rooting when i got it, so when I was prompted to update I didn't give it second thought. Now I know about rooting and that I can't do it because of the update Wishing you guys the best of luck with this. I will help out any way I can, as long as any changes I make to my phone can be undone in case it doesn't work. Thanks for the effort.

I did a factory reset to my 4.3 (through Samsung while unrooted) and it downgraded to 4.2.2. I don't know if yours can do the same now that it's rooted, or even if it's meant to do that (when I factory reset my tablet it reset to a blank ROM of the same version it was on), but that could be worth a try.
---
OP: You could dual boot your regular computer if you wanted a better performing linux machine, but I'm sure you know that.
I have the i9295 but I think it would be good the S4A as a whole if we could get more root users. If you need help with anything that needs to be done on a linux computer that yours is struggling to do, let me know. I'm happy to help!
@ tiskael
Oh I never did root my phone, that's what I was saying. I didn't even know what it was at first. So now I know about it and want to root but since I updated, I can't. So you think if I do a factory reset I can get root? I am willing to try and go back to 4.2.2 and then just update when there is a root method for ml2 4.3. How would I do a factory reset? Sorry, like I said, I'm knew to all this.

Oh, right, I misread your original post, sorry. You *may* be sent back to the version your device shipped with - I was on my i9295, I wasn't on my Bauhn tablet though. A factory reset does mean that it's set back to the way it was in the factory, so it should do. It would be worth a try if you really want to root your phone, but I would definitely advise backing everything up either way. A ML2 root is being worked on at the moment but some other nice XDA users.

Thank you. I am tempted to do the factory reset, but then again I think I will wait for the ML2 root. I could also help in the testing of the method, as long as I have instructions on what to do if something went wrong. Thanks again.

Safestrap Recovery for NG3?

Greetings all! This is my first post to this forum, so please excuse any error in etiquette. Now then, I got a new S5 yesterday and received the NG3 OTA update. After research on this forum, I was successful in rooting my device (thanks to the guide authors). Now my issue is finding a custom recovery similar to CWD. After even more research, I found that Safestrap is most likely my best bet, however it says to download a version matching your kernel. Their are a few different ones available, but none matching "NG3". Do any of you know where I can find a matching Safestrap version, or know a work around? Many thanks, and again, I'm sorry if I violated an rules.

First of all Safestrap is your only option and the kernels that we on AT&T are stock kernels we cannot change since the bootloader is locked down tight. I'm going to give you a couple links you need to read very carefully

This has been asked and answered SEVERAL TIMES in SEVERAL THREADS. If you are on G900A and took the OTA to 5.0 you are screwed, no root and no downgrade. If you are on G870A (S5 Active) then you can downgrade, root, and reupgrade with keep root through muniz_ri method or flash a custom ROM like TMS5 or Alliance. I'm feeling the need to make a Lollipop 5.0 Q&A thread so new threads asking week old questions can stop cluttering up the forums.
Well since this post has obviously butthurt someone will a mod please delete. Thanks.

Bounty!

Hello
Basically want to kick-start a bounty thread as Joehen stated in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...gpongroot-s6-s6-edge-root-tool-t3107785/page3
I've been lurking the forums for years now and I made time to make an account to express my concern for the g925aucu2aof4 ATT S6 Edge build on 5.0.2.
I bought this phone thinking it was going to be cake to root, but after weeks of waiting and searching for ways to root it, my struggle expanded. Considering that I can't even downgrade to an earlier version to root it, I'm stumped.
I'm offering a bounty or incentive to anyone or a team that can work on this root and get around the "OF_" through PayPal
PingPong doesn't support the OF4, KingRoot tells me that there is no strategy and "477 requests have accelerated the search for me?" SRSroot didn't work, despite their claims on their twitter saying their program can root it. - https://twitter.com/srsroot/status/631875443449294848
I am willing to pledge $50, and so are other members are willing to pledge money in order for a root for this phone
Thanks
Yes you can do it!
I don't know if this will work for you but for me was hard to find and put it on together to work.
i followed these step but I was on OE2 built and was able to downgrade.
1. Install samsung usb drivers
2. Download Odin 10.7
3. Download this OCE built G925AUCU1AOCE_CL4351102_QB4488922 (search it on google) as the on provided in XDA did not work for me
4. Put the exact files in Odin for each rubric AP at AP, BL, CP and CSC
5. Put phone on download mode. Careful! Pay attention there should be shown the "Added" text in odin if not try another usb cable
6. let Odin to do its job
7. Use pingpong root and you will get root.
Now I am using xtrolite rom after gained root. And you also should know that everything on your device will be erased.
Hope this will work for you.

$50 here for 5.1.1 root. I'm currently on 5.0.2 rooted.
Guys at this point i dont care ill bump my pledge to whatever any1 wants that can crack this
Hey guys I'll pledge $25. Is there a place holding this money now or do we send direct to the dev as soon as it is achived?
To be honest I do not think anyone even checks the AT&T s6 edge forums anymore... if you want to drum up attention for a bounty, you're best to start a bounty thread in the main sgs6 forum and title it appropriately. You'll probably also want to get the Verizon guys on board to help raise the amount. I think before ping pong came out the bounty was in the thousands of dollars range! Then you need to keep track of who pledged what in the OP so everyone has a running tally. That is if you're really interested in doing this. To be synical I have to say it's probably a wrap for this piece of crap and it's unlockable bootloader.

Root G900A? (new to this)

Hello everyone!
I have been meaning to root my G900A for a while and I am having a hell of a time finding accurate information. I'm sure there has been a hundred threads before me. Places say its impossible and others say to rollback. I have looked through many threads and just need a definitive answer. I am on Android 5.0 OF3. Please, any information is greatly appreciated!

No, not on OF3 from AT&T.
If you have received the official AT&T update for OC4, OF2, or OF3 or later, then there is no way to root, and if you try to downgrade you will end up bricking your device.

Thank you for the reply. Well that is a shame.. Have the only phone that is super locked down. Looks like this will go on Craigslist and I might just go pick up a Nexus 5x.
Sorry I double posted so I removed my comment from here.
Short answer no...please see your other post on this same topic for the full answer. Please only post once for the same question!
I thought I post it once and it didn't take so I tried again and saw my post

Well this sucks, out of all the Galaxy's I've bought, why did this one have to end up root-less? :/
Are there even attempts (I am guessing not at this point in time) of rooting this device? It will for ever be root-less :'(
There is root, this is an old thread.
