Hey Guys,
Very new at this so please be patient with me. I was just wondering if there is a way to unlock the locked bootloader on my AT&T Samsung S5?
I'm trying my best to get my Galaxy S5 to work with my Pioneer AppRadio 2 w/ ARLiberator and it seems that the Knox and locked bootloader is causing the issue. I think that SuperSU has the knox handled but not for sure. Any Help would be Great
Thank you

The bootloader is locked on the s5 phone. No offense meant by this but if you Googled the "AT&T s5 and bootloader" you would have gotten your answer much sooner.

I have to get rid of my rooted, nearly mint, 64 gb s6 edge and go back to the fruit world for work. The significant other will not let me keep both. It is listed on swappa and I'm happy to discuss if anyone wants to inbox me.

I don't think it is available and may not be for a while.

Yes you can, I believe you have to Odin to oe2 to do so though. I may be wrong though. Download pingpong root apk and give it a try won't hurt anything.
I also have a rooted S6 in pretty great condition listed on Swappa right now if anyone else is looking for one.

To answer your question, no. Root was blocked in OF1 and beyond as well as with OF1 you cannot downgrade to a rootable firmware either.
You need to be on eiter OC3 ir OE2 in order to root.. Any other builds are not possible.

if everything ison oc3 then yes.. basically the kernel has to be the kernel either on oe2 and/or oc3.
if you want to try it download ping pong root apk

If it is a G900A, Do some research about your device, find out that the AT&T branded GS5 cannot run Cyanogenmod and then go buy a T Mobile branded phone so that you can.

thanks. slightly helpful, fairly rude, but concise.
I saw on YouTube s7 rom porting to s4 but I have s4 active how will I do ?
Actually @JASONRR is trying to... Well he is the only one I know that has been actively porting touchwiz ROMs here... Another option is that you can use masterpatch of him into that ROM you are saying, together with his kernel...

If you have the SGH-i537 (AT&T U.S.A. model): If the ROM in question is for the AT&T Galaxy S4 (or really any variant that isn't either Verizon or Sprint) you can always try flashing it with the masterpatch from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-active/general/golden-eye-v52-s4-active-wip-t3094259
You will have to already be on lollipop rooted. If you are on lollipop unrooted, you will have to follow the instructions in my post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63639949&postcount=2
Congratulations and thanks for inadvertently volunteering to be our guinea pig. If you can link to the XDA thread for the ROM you are talking about, maybe I can give it a whirl too. That's a definite maybe though because my screen is about to go for good (my gf lost my old i537, and the one I got from my brother has a cracked screen and the LCD is dying a painful albeit trippy death).
If you have the international model GT-i9295: I would recommend using this masterpatch instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ster-patch-i9505-tw-based-lp-roms-to-t3156521 You will still have to start from lollipop rooted, but ignore my rooting instructions

I purchased my friends S5 which was from AT&T and then I used the BYOP plan with Straight Talk. How do I root this? I tried Towelroot and it says its not supported. Also what ROMs can I get with this if any? I want to root to get rid of all the at&t pre installed apps on here that I cant use with Straight talk. Also pretty new to this. I have Odin on my laptop from installing stock firmware on my S3. Any help with root and ROMs would be much appreciated.
Good morning bump
Need model and ROM version.

Yep, that's how things that apply to all of a phone model work.
